บท 642: Chapter 642: Taking over Sega Corporation
1-39-9 Higashi-Shinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, Japan is the location of the headquarters of the island nation's Sega Corporation.
On this day, the sun was shining brightly in Tokyo and the sky was as blue as a wash.
However, the Sega executives, led by President Hayuo Nakamura, gathered in the conference room, and a heavy and gloomy atmosphere filled the room.
A long time ago, they had heard that someone was seeking to acquire Sega, but they had never imagined that the acquisition would be completed in just over a month, and that the new boss, who was also a native of Hong Kong, would be coming to take over the company that day.
No one had ever met the new boss before, so no one knew what kind of person he was. Therefore, everyone present was in a state of uncertainty and had no heart to work.
Everyone was walking on thin ice, afraid of being purged. Even though they held a small amount of shares, it still did not give them the slightest sense of security. After all, the new boss was the absolute majority shareholder with 92% of the shares, and they had no room to resist.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon an employee rushed in and shouted, 'Reporting to the president, Jiuding Yonghe Fund called, and the new boss will arrive in five minutes.'
The faces of those present fell. President Nakamura Toshio got up and said with a solemn expression, 'Gentlemen, please pull yourselves together and greet the boss with the best spirit!'
'Yes!'
After that, the crowd, led by Nakamura Toshio, went to the entrance of the headquarters, where they waited quietly.
After about five minutes, a row of black cars pulled up to the parking space in front of the Sega headquarters, and a group of people got out, led by Xia Yu and Kazuya Fukuhara.
Fukuhara Kazuya had already met with Nakamura Hideo, so the latter and the others recognised him. Then, accompanied by Fukuhara Kazuya, it could only be the new boss Xia Yu. Everyone looked at him in an instant, surprised beyond measure. This boss is so young!
The surprise was only momentary. They once again braced themselves, for a young boss means an even more unpredictable character, and one must be even more careful.
Nakamura Hayato and the others immediately came up to greet him, bowing deeply respectfully and shouting in unison, 'Hello, boss!'
'Well, hello to you all!'
Xia Yu responded with a smile.
'Let's go inside and talk, it's not convenient here at the door,'
Fukuhara Kazuya spoke up at the right moment.
Nakamura Hayato and the others immediately agreed, respectfully ushering Xia Yu and the others into the company.
All the employees in the company knew that today was the day the new boss would take over the company, so when Xia Yu passed by, the nearby employees bowed respectfully to say hello.
Xia Yu was not surprised, knowing that the Japanese have a clear division of classes, and it has always been like this in the past, so he just smiled and nodded.
Soon, the group arrived in the large conference room. After sitting face to face, Xia Yu scanned the faces of the crowd with his eyes. People like Nakamura Hideo held their heads high, showing their full enthusiasm and energy.
Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, 'Before we begin, please introduce yourselves.'
'Dear boss, I am Nakamura Hayato, I just took office as the company's president three months ago, and I am mainly responsible for...'
'Dear boss, I am Ikebe Ichiro, I am currently the company's human resources manager...'
...
Including Nakamura Hayato, there were a total of ten executives, who introduced themselves in turn, while Xia Yu and Huo Jianing listened quietly and took notes.
When the last person had finished, Xia Yu nodded slightly and said, 'The introductions were very detailed. I'm very happy to meet you all!'
'I believe that before coming here, Mr. Kazuya Fukuhara has already revealed some information about me, and you have a preliminary understanding of me. My name is Xia Yu, and I am your new boss.'
'However, your immediate superior is not me, but the person on my left, who will introduce himself later.'
'Now let's talk about the affiliation of Sega. The parent company of Sega is Xiangjiang Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd., and the next level up is Tiangong Group.'
'I have a certain understanding of you all. You have all made great contributions to the company and have outstanding abilities. I will not adjust your positions for the time being, but that does not mean you can relax. The next three months will be an observation period. I hope you can continue to do your jobs as well as you always have.'
'As for the shares you hold, I have no interest in them. You can rest assured that everything will proceed according to normal procedures. Of course, if any of you want to sell, I will give a reasonable price to buy them back.'
'Understood!'
Hayato Nakamura and the others immediately responded, but each of them was relieved in their hearts. The new boss did not recklessly start firing people as soon as he arrived. This was already a very good result.
However, they did not completely relax. The three-month probation period mentioned by the new boss was like a knife hanging over their heads. They did not want to suffer an unacceptable punishment.
'Next, Manager Huo will speak.'
'Hello everyone, I am Huo Jianning. Thanks to the chairman's trust, I am now the general manager of Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd. I will be working closely with you in the coming period. If there is anything at work, report to me first, and I will report to the chairman for a decision depending on the situation. I hope you can do your jobs well...'
After a formal meeting, Xia Yu suggested that Junmura Hideo and others lead the way to see the company.
Needless to say, the administrative side is more than 20 years old, and the administrative management system is already very mature. Although Xia Yu found a minor fault, he did not point it out to them face to face, but instead asked Fok Kin-ning to make a note of it and rectify it later.
As for the game console manufacturing plant, it is not far behind the headquarters. When Xia Yu inspected it, the employees were diligently producing arcade games.
In terms of production technology, standards and capacity, Sega lived up to its reputation as the top veteran video game company on the island and did not disappoint Xia Yu.
Currently, due to poor sales, the factory is not operating at full capacity.
After a thorough inspection, Xia Yu already had a good idea of the situation.
The current predicament of Sega can be solved, and the source lies in one point, and that is the creative idea of the game. As long as they design a game that can rival Space Invaders, they will be able to reach the top of the gaming world again at any time.
Unfortunately, it has been more than a year since Taito Corporation's Space Invaders swept the gaming world, and Sega has also designed more than a dozen arcade games, with five released to the public, but without exception, they have all been lukewarm.
However, this problem for Sega is simply not a problem for Xia Yu!
He happened to bring these with him when he came to take over the company this time, and now was the time to really impress these people by taking them out.
After a tour, everyone returned to the large conference room again, and Xia Yu said, 'I already have an understanding of the company's situation. Right now, the company urgently needs to develop a high-quality game. Hayato Nakamura, the head of the game development and design department, is currently working on a game that lacks highlights. If it is developed, it will still follow the same old path, wasting time and resources. Now, scrap it all.'
Upon hearing this, the five heads of the game development and design departments, including Nakamura, felt as if they had been struck by lightning. They were a little indignant and dissatisfied, but they refrained from speaking out because Xia Yu was their new boss.
The other senior executives also didn't expect their new boss Xia Yu, who they had originally thought was easy-going, to suddenly lose his temper. They all kept their mouths shut and observed the situation.
After a few seconds, Nakamura Hayuo tactfully said, 'Boss, I've let you down. We'll scrap all the current designs and develop a game that will satisfy the players.'
Xia Yu smiled and said, 'I know that you are not happy with me rejecting your work and you think I'm giving blind orders.'
'Boss, we wouldn't dare!'
Nakamura Hayuo and the others were shocked and immediately denied it.
Xia Yu still had a smile on his face, raised his hand to stop them, and continued, 'Before that, I'll show you something. These are games that the parent company, Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd., has designed and registered patents for. You are all elites in the gaming industry, so after you watch them, tell me your answers.'
After saying that, Xia Yu signalled to Huo Jianning in the midst of the confusion of Nakamura Hideo and the others. Huo Jianning immediately opened the small suitcase with the other subordinates, picked up a stack of documents, and distributed them to the ten executives present.
