Chapter 201: Reap the benefits
Ding ding...!
Hearing the phone ringing, Kawasaki Eikichi picked it up and looked at it, with a look of thought on his face.
After a while, he pressed the answer button.
With a smile on his face.
"Brother Okada, why do you have time to call me?"
"Kawasaki, is this your strategy? Let SNK go bankrupt and reorganize, and completely transfer the debt to ARUZE?"
"Why did Brother Okada say this? I also want to run SNK well, but I am really powerless. Starting over after bankruptcy is the most suitable choice for SNK.
As for SNK's 40 billion debt, once the company Bankruptcy, the debt has nothing to do with us.”
“Humph.” Okada Kazuki sneered, “Why should I wipe your ass?”
"Brother Okada, how can this be said to be wiping your butt? When you acquired 51% of SNK's shares, you were willing and satisfied.
5 billion yen is a lot of money."
Listening to the proud voice on the phone, Okada Kazuo almost gritted his teeth.
That’s 5 billion yen, all of which was defrauded by Eikichi Kawasaki, who falsely reported SNK’s financial affairs.
“I only regret that I was so concerned about the friendship when I was a student that I didn’t do the due diligence for SNK, and I fell into your trap.”
Kawasaki Eikichi smiled and said: "Don't sound so noble.
Friendship in student days? Saying these words makes me sick.
Okada, if it weren't for starting from college , you are my loser, the goddess in your heart, who is easily played by me.
While you were working to make money in Roppongi, I founded SNK and became a billionaire. >
Regardless of family background, appearance, or career, I am above you
You won't want to prove yourself so much.
You are so eager to outdo me.
Defeat me, trample me under your feet, and let my desire to beg for mercy from you surpasses everything.
So I called Hongmeng and stimulated you a little, and you immediately signed a contract with me.
So you really don’t blame me for the current situation.
The only thing to blame is your pitiful and pathetic self-esteem. "
"Baga, Kawasaki Eikichi, you are just a fool who relies on the legacy of your family. You are not as good as me who started ARUZE from scratch. "Okada Kazuo said angrily.
"Haha, Okada, I admit that you do have some talent in business, but you lost this time. "
"Losing? Do you think the Osaka District Court will approve your bankruptcy application? "Okada Kazuo said coldly.
"I know you have some connections in the political circles. But it doesn’t matter even if the Osaka District Court disagrees. I have got what I want, and you can keep the rest of SNK for yourself, including the 40 billion yen debt.
Oh, by the way, I have already contacted SNK employees, and they are all willing to work at my new company. "
Okada Kazuo frowned fiercely.
This is to turn SNK into an empty shell.
"Don't forget that you also own 49% of SNK's shares. You also have half of the 40 billion yen debt. If I don't let SNK go bankrupt, you will always have to bear this debt. "Okada Kazuo said angrily.
Kawasaki Eikichi's face changed slightly, and then he smiled and said: "Okada, why do you have to be so stubborn? Isn't it good to let SNK go bankrupt? ”
"You are delusional!"
The angry voice made Kawasaki Yingji subconsciously put the phone away from his ears.
"Baga Yalu, Kawasaki, even if I break the contract, I will never let your conspiracy succeed."
"Okada, don't make things so absolute. I mailed it to you. I believe you have received it now. You should read it first before deciding whether you really want to reject it.”
Okada Kazuo became a little nervous, “What gift?”
"Of course it's the fitness video of Keiko and that fitness instructor. It's very clear, comparable to Ippondo and Tokyo Hot, haha."
"Were you the one who sent the video CD in the first place?" Kazuo Okada said angrily.
It was because of this CD that he found out that his wife had cheated on her.
In the end, the family became restless and neglected the management of SNK, allowing Eikichi Kawasaki to take advantage of the loophole.
"Haha, we have been friends for many years. How can I bear to keep you being deceived by Keiko?"
The laughter of a sure winner made Okada Kazuo's heart freeze.
He has been led by Kawasaki Eikichi from the beginning. He is certain that if he does not let SNK go bankrupt, the video of his wife's cheating will be spread all over the world.
He will be completely embarrassed by then.
In an instant, all the anger in his heart was drained away.
"Okada, I really admire you. It is really not easy to build ARUZE from scratch and make it one of the top gaming companies in Japan. Don't ruin it for a woman."
Okada Kazuo took a deep breath.
“I can bankrupt SNK, but that’s the end of it.”
He didn’t ask for the original version of the video, because who knows if there are other similar videos?
Anyway, he is divorced now. As time goes by, these videos will no longer be important.
It is normal for a divorced woman to find a new home.
Of course, this is not the whole reason.
In the final analysis, the reason why Okada Kazuo compromised is because SNK has basically been dug into an empty shell by Kawasaki Eikichi.
As the stalemate continued, he, who held more shares, suffered far more losses than Kawasaki.
The 40 billion yen will all be invested in SNK, which will also become an increasing bleeding hole for ARUZE.
If SNK goes bankrupt, this debt will have nothing to do with ARUZE.
After all, SNK is also an independent corporate entity with legal personality.
Just like this, Kawasaki Eikichi also got out of trouble.
So, Kazuo Okada has always been unwilling to let SNK go bankrupt.
But he is a businessman after all, and his interests come first.
SNK’s bankruptcy is good for him.
After hesitating for a while, he finally gave in.
"Wise choice." Okada Kazuo said proudly. Hang up the phone.
“Baga!”
With a roar, the sullen Okada Kazuo threw the phone out violently, smashing the TV screen opposite.
"Kawasaki Eikichi, just wait, this matter won't just go away."
He was being schemed against at every turn, and he was defrauded of so much money for nothing. No one else could bear this tone.
——
"President, the court has approved SNK's bankruptcy application?" Fukunaga Hideo said quickly after pushing the door open and entering.
“What? Agree?”
"Yes. And the ARUZE company also agreed."
Xu Liang looked surprised. Based on Okada Kazuo's attitude when they met that day, he would never agree to SNK's bankruptcy. After all, this way, Kawasaki Eikichi was also relieved.
"President, something must have happened that we don't know about. Otherwise, with Okada Kazuo's temper, he would never have suffered such a big loss."
Xu Liang nodded, "Kawasaki Yingji is really powerful. He killed ARUZE Company and Okada Kazuki step by step. "
"President, I also heard a rumor three days ago that Okada Nobuhiro, Okada Kazuki's son, led someone to seize the company. He took away the official seal of ARUZE Company and his whereabouts are unknown now.”
Xu Liang pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
"It is impossible to make Kazuo Okada surrender based on this alone. He was cheated by Eikichi Kawasaki of 5 billion yen."
According to the current exchange rate, 5 billion yen is equivalent to 2.5 100 million Huaxia coins, in 2001, this number was not small.
“Dingle bell….”
Xu Liang’s cell phone rang.
Looking at the caller ID, there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
After signaling Fukunaga Hideo to be silent, he pressed the answer button.
"Hello?"
"Is this Xu Sang? I am Okada Kazuo."
"Is there anything wrong with Mr. Okada calling me?"
< br>
"Can Mr. Xu please meet with me tonight?"
"Of course. But as far as I know, SNK has been allowed to go bankrupt. Is it necessary for us to meet?"
"I I believe I won’t disappoint Xu Sang.”
Hearing what he said, Xu Liang became a little curious.
“Let’s meet at Shangya Sushi Restaurant at seven o’clock tonight.”
Xu Liang likes to arrange meetings at restaurants.
"No problem. Looking forward to meeting Mr. Xu again."
"See you in the evening."
"See you in the evening."
Hang up the phone Afterwards, Xu Liang thought thoughtfully, "Fukunaga, why do you think Okada asked me to meet?"
"Most likely, he doesn't want to admit defeat."
Xu Liang nodded, picked up the phone on the table and called Miyoko Kagami.
“Book me a private room at Shangya Sushi Restaurant.”
“Okay, President.”
——
Kamitani Sushi Restaurant, one of the rare three-star Michelin restaurants in Roppongi, Tokyo.
Xu Liang was brought here once by Futian Xinmei, and the taste was pretty good.
I arrived at the reserved box in advance. Not long after, Kazuo Okada came to the door.
Looking at his face which looked more haggard than last time, Xu Liang knew that he had been having a hard time recently.
"Xu Sang."
"Mr. Okada."
After shaking hands, the two sat down opposite each other in the box.
"I ordered their signature dishes. If Mr. Okada wants to eat anything else, you can continue to order." Xu Liang said with a smile.
How can Okada Kazuo still think about eating now?
“Thank you Xu Sang, this is enough.”
After a pause, Okada Kazuo didn't want to waste any more time.
"Xu Sang, I wonder what you thought about the last cooperation?"
"Of course I am very interested, but your asking price is too high." Xu Liang said.
“How much does Xu Sang want to give?”
“Up to 4 billion yen.”
SNK is in a lot of trouble right now. Although he is very interested in SNK's copyright, he doesn't dare to make a big bet. And now Kazuo Okada obviously wants to take revenge on Eikichi Kawasaki.
Making money is secondary, letting yourself vent your bad temper is the main purpose
Xu Liang is not stupid, taking the opportunity to lower the price at this time is the normal operation of an old capitalist.
“5 billion yen, as long as 5 billion yen, all copyrights of SNK, including trademark rights, belong to Hongmeng.”
Xu Liang shook his head, “Only 4 billion, one point more I won’t give it to you. No one knows how much value SNK’s copyrights have left after you have done so.
I don't want to waste my money and buy a bunch of junk. "
Okada Kazuo frowned, struggling on his face.
Xu Liang saw it and did not urge him.
After a long time.
< br>"Okay, I promise you, but we have to sign the contract in advance. ”
Xu Liang smiled and said: "No problem."
With 4 billion yen and 200 million Chinese coins, you can get the "King of Fighters" series, "Hungry Wolf" series, "Samurai Shodown" series, and "Metal Slug" series, the "Fist of the Dragon and Tiger" series, and the "Moonlight Swordsman" series.
He made a lot of money.
