Chapter 199 Family Banquet
Follow the address sent by Masayoshi Son and drive all the way here.
Looking at the surrounding single-family houses.
“The environment here is really good.” Xu Liang said.
"The price of the houses here is too expensive, there is no need for us to live here." Fukuda said Xinmei.
Xu Liang smiled and said, "We will have a better house than here in the future."
"As long as I am with Xu Jun, I am willing to live anywhere."
Firm love words It always touches people's hearts. Xu Liang patted Futian Xinmei's catkin.
The main reason why he is willing to bring her with him is because when a woman only cares about you, it is really difficult not to be emotional.
“I can’t bear to let you suffer.”
Futian Xinmei nodded gently, resting her head on his shoulder, quietly feeling the solid sense of security, and her heart was filled with happiness.
“President, we’re here.”
The driver’s words interrupted the silence between the two.
“Let’s get off the car.”
“Yes.”
He brought Futian Xinmei down and carried the gifts to the courtyard gate.
After ringing the doorbell, not long after, the closed iron door slowly opened to both sides.
Xu Liang goes in.
Facing the front is a Japanese-style garden that is not very big.
The soft light illuminates the yard very brightly.
Walk along the stone path to the entrance.
The door suddenly opened and Son Zhengyi came out.
"Mr. Xu, welcome to my humble home."
"It is my honor to be here as a guest."
After Sun Zhengyi smiled politely, he turned his eyes to Futian Xin beautiful.
"This is...?"
"My girlfriend Fukuda Xinmei."
Fukuda Xinmei quickly saluted and said hello.
"Miss Futian is really beautiful, and the two of them are a perfect match."
"Thank you."
"This is my wife."
Sun Zhengyi introduced his wife.
After Xu Liang and Futian Xinmei greeted politely, they were welcomed into the room.
Sit down in the living room, and soon the chef will bring the prepared meal.
Most of them are Japanese food, but the portions are large.
"I heard that Mr. Xu has a good appetite. I hope what I have prepared today can satisfy you."
"Mr. Sun is interested."
Sun Zhengyi smiled and picked up the chopsticks.
"Let's use our chopsticks. Bluefin tuna fillets are best when they are fresh."
"Then I'm not welcome." Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Please."
"Please."
The four of them chatted while eating and finished their dinner quickly.
Sun Zhengyi and Xu Liang moved to the study, while Futian Xinmei was taken away by Mrs. Sun.
“This is the Yuqian Longjing I bought from your country.”
With that said, he poured Xu Liang a drink.
Said 'thank you'.
"How many days will Mr. Xu plan to stay in Japan this time?"
"If nothing else happens, about a week."
Sun Zhengyi nodded and said with a smile: " Mr. Xu should have seen Yahoo’s stock price?”
"Yes. Mr. Sun's business talent is indeed unparalleled. Under your leadership, Yahoo Japan's stock price has doubled several times, which is amazing."
"As the third largest shareholder of Yahoo Japan, Mr. Xu also Make a lot of money.”
A smile appeared on Xu Liang’s face. The 10% equity really made him a lot of money.
According to the current stock price of Yahoo! Japan, this part of the equity is worth nearly 200 million U.S. dollars, and it is still appreciating.
“I’m not the only one making money. As the major shareholder of Hongmeng Japan, Mr. Sun’s equity has increased in value at least ten times.” Xu Liangdao.
Masayoshi Son’s SoftBank holds 10% of Hongmeng Japan.
Based on Hongmeng Japan’s revenue this year, the valuation can reach US$500 million.
Although it is not as high as Yahoo! Japan’s increase, it is already a high-quality stock worth real money.
Speaking of this, Son Zhengyi also smiled on his face.
“We have achieved mutual success, so we should drink tea instead of wine.”
"Of course."
Xu Liang picked up the tea cup.
The two gestured from a distance and each took a sip.
After putting down the teacup, Son Zhengyi smiled.
“I remember Mr. Xu said that Hongmeng will consider financing this year. I don’t know when exactly?”
Xu Liang instantly understood that this was Sun Zhengyi's purpose for tonight's family dinner.
After smiling slightly.
“If nothing else happens, we will officially launch Series A financing in July this year.”
Sun Zhengyi’s eyes lit up.
“It’s already April.”
Xu Liang smiled and said: "Welcome Mr. Sun to Xiangjiang in three months."
"Xiangjiang?"
"That's right. Xiangjiang is an international financial city, and major financial institutions have branches. The organization is very suitable for negotiation." Sun Zhengyi's eyes flashed.
“How many shares does Mr. Xu intend to take out? How much money will be raised?”
"20% of the shares. As for the specific amount of financing, let's wait and see. After all, Hongmeng is still developing at a high speed, and each month's revenue is stronger than the previous month."
Sun Zhengyi nodded slightly. .
Series A financing, 20% of the shares is not a small amount.
Even if everyone shares it together, SoftBank can still get a lot.
“SoftBank will be there on time.”
"I will send the invitation letter to SoftBank's mailbox on time."
"Then I'll be waiting for you." Son said with a smile.
“No problem.”
After the two sides looked at each other and smiled, Son changed the topic.
“I heard that Mr. Xu is chasing SNK?”
"Mr. Sun has so many things to do, how do you know this?" Xu Liang asked with a smile.
“I know Kazuo Okada, the president of ARUZE, and I once heard him mention Hongmeng’s purchase of SNK.”
“I see. But that was last year. And I I heard that Mr. Okada Kazuo’s current situation is not very good.”
Sun Zhengyi understood what he meant.
Okada Kazuo's stubbornness caused ARUZE to lose a lot of profits. Not only the company's internal executives opposed him, but his wife, son and daughter even joined forces to oust him.
It almost got to the point of betrayal and separation.
After a person dies, it is very common for children and wives to fight over family property, but this is the first time he has heard of a living person doing this.
"It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, so Okada will handle his own affairs. But for SNK, if you are still interested, I can contact you. After all, I am also a shareholder of Hongmeng Japan. "Sun Zhengyi said.
Xu Liang shook his head, "The copyright of SNK has been taken into his own hands by Eikichi Kawasaki. Although the remaining SNK cannot be said to be an empty shell, it only has some fixed assets left, and it still carries 40 billion Japanese yen’s foreign debt.
I wouldn’t even dare to give it to me.”
Sun Zhengyi nodded and did not continue the topic.
After the two chatted about some business topics, Xu Liang took Futian Xinmei and left.
"What did Mrs. Sun talk to you about?"
Futian Xinmei's pretty face turned red as if she thought of something, and she lowered her voice.
“Nothing, just told me some issues about men and women.”
"Then do we want to put it into practice?"
"If Xu Jun is willing, you can do whatever you want."
Looking at her shy face, looking like she was willing to take advantage of you, Xu Liang Almost went berserk.
But after thinking about it, I decided to forget it.
I really ate Futian Xinmei. I have to spend the night outside tonight. It’s not easy to explain to the Futian family.
After sending her home, Xu Liang returned to the hotel by himself.
Not long after Xu Liang arrived at the company the next day, his secretary Miyoko Kagami opened the door and walked in.
"President, Kazuo Okada, the president of ARUZE Company, called and wanted to visit you."
"Kazuo Okada?"
Xu Liang quickly thought of it Chatting with Son Zhengyi last night.
"Did he tell him the reason?"
"He just said he wanted to cooperate with us, nothing else."
Xu Liang thought for a while and nodded, "Promise him."
"Okay."
Kazuo Okada arrived faster than he expected and arrived at the company that afternoon.
Looking at the old man in his sixties who was wearing a black suit in front of him, Xu Liang stretched out his right hand with a smile.
"Mr. Okada, welcome."
"I have admired Mr. Xu's name for a long time, but I realized when I met him today that you are younger than I thought. It is really enviable."
< br>"You're honored, please come in."
"Please."
After the two sat down in the reception room, Xu Liang said directly.
"I wonder what Mr. Okada has to do with visiting our Hongmeng?"
"Mr. Xu is so direct, so I won't beat around the bush." After a pause, "If I put SNK's If all classic copyrights, such as "The King of Fighters" and "Legend of the Wolf" are sold to Hongmeng, how much is Mr. Xu willing to pay?"
Xu Liang's head turned quickly, and after a moment, he did not answer immediately.
“As far as I know, all these copyrights of SNK have been sold to a South Korean company and are not in the hands of SNK, so Mr. Okada’s words have no practical significance.”
"What if I can take back the copyright sold by Eikichi Kawasaki?"
Xu Liang was moved and looked at the smiling old man opposite.
"Then let's wait until you take back the copyright first."
Okada Kazuo shook his head, "I must understand how much value doing this can bring to me. If I pay If I can’t get enough in return, I won’t do it.
So, how much is Mr. Xu willing to pay for these copyrights?”
Xu Liang thought about it briefly.
“2 billion yen.”
“No, no, 2 billion yen is too little. Both "The King of Fighters" and "Legend of the Wolf" have a deep audience, as long as If you develop it well, it’s easy to earn 2 billion yen.
It’s not a problem to even double it.”
“In that case, why don’t you keep these copyrights and develop them yourself?” Xu Liang smiled.
"ARUZE is engaged in gambling. When we acquired SNK, we mainly wanted to use their rich experience in arcade development to develop new gambling games. We had no idea of making family games, so SNK's copyright was useless to us.
Eikichi Kawasaki was also targeting our needs, and he repeatedly made small moves to steal SNK’s real treasure.”
“Mr. Okada, since you know that he has evil intentions, why didn’t you make preparations earlier. I just realized it, isn’t it too late?” Xu Liang said.
“I have always trusted him, and I didn’t expect that he would betray me. And during this time, things at home made it difficult for me to distract myself, which allowed him to take advantage of the loophole.
However, , ARUZE still holds a controlling stake in SNK, and the contract signed by Eikichi Kawasaki and PLAYMORE is also in the name of SNK. If we breach the contract, all SNK copyright and trademark rights will return to our hands."
Xu Liang was moved.
This is indeed a solution.
The key is how much liquidated damages are there?
