Author: quiet thoughts

The conference room No. 1 became silent because of Hongchuan Kaede's warning, while Tanimura stood alone in the east, sweating profusely.

He felt that if he didn't give an explanation tomorrow, Keke really wouldn't be able to survive that liquid.

"Hongchuan-san,...it is more difficult to adjust the chip than expected. There are some bugs that they have not been able to solve."

After holding it in for a long time, Tanimura finally came up with such a specious excuse.

"If you don't tell me about the chip in advance, what's going on with the screen?" Hongchuan Feng remained unmoved and stared at him.

According to the plan, the new generation of handheld console uses SIC's latest research results, STN screen.

That kind of screen theory will be qualitatively improved in all aspects compared to the previous TN screen.

Clarity, response speed, contrast ratio, viewing angle, color, etc. will all bring you a new experience.

But judging from Hong Chuanfeng's use just now, he didn't see those advantages.

The flickering of the screen and the logo that appears and disappears are even worse than the original TN screen.

Although the handheld consoles of the past were crude, they were at least smooth.

What now? It’s just like a brick.

The reason why it is called a new generation of handheld console is that the first feedback to players is the improvement of the screen or graphics.

But it would be strange if Hongchuan Feng had a good face if he came from the East for more than a year and didn't even have a good appearance.

Facing his questioning, Tanimura simply bowed his head and remained silent that time.

"Ha~" Hongchuan Feng sneered again, but he did not continue to ask Tanimura, but turned his attention to Yamamoto from the Finance Department.

"Let me tell you, Yamamoto-san, how much money has been invested in HAL in the development of the new generation of handheld consoles."

Yamamoto Higashi, who was called, stood up consciously and first kissed Hongchuan Feng, then he hesitated to open the documents in his lap and began to report.

“The project was initially established in November 1981 and officially launched in March 1982.

The initial estimated development cost was 200 million yuan per month, and after three additional increases during the period, the total investment as of next month is 430 million yuan per month."

"430 million yuan per month." Hongchuan Feng squinted and glanced at the people in the conference room, "It's more than twice the initial budget."

The people he glanced at all lowered their heads silently. Especially Tani Cun, whose forehead was dripping with sweat.

Even Yamamoto, who was reporting on the financial situation, couldn't help but take out his legband and wipe his forehead.

There were cases where R&D costs exceeded the budget, but more than twice the budget was not common in those days.

But that's what made Hongchuan Feng most angry. He was determined to fight against the shortage in the Finance Department.

"Yamamoto-san, the budget exceeded so much, why didn't he receive any news?"

Yamamoto, who was named, felt as if he was struck by lightning. He glanced at Tanimura, whose mouth and eyes were red. Then he looked at the expressionless Benikawa Kaede, and explained shakily.

"Hong...Hongchuan-san, the relevant financial situation has been reported to Tanimura-san."

Tanimura is the president of HAL, and the financial department is naturally outside his jurisdiction.

With the growth of business in recent years, HAL's book funds are also very considerable.

Although Tanimura does not have the power to fully use it, he can still do something about it.

"What about the audit team? Why didn't they receive the relevant report beforehand?"

Regarding whether to prevent favoritism and fraud outside the company, Hongchuan Holdings also has an external audit team.

In addition to the annual routine inventory, it has another responsibility.

If the club has any unplanned large expenditures, it needs to be reported to the audit team for record-keeping.

Only after obtaining review and approval can the east step action be carried out.

But now the audit team has no relevant records, and R&D funding has more than tripled inexplicably.

Facing Hongchuan Kaede's question, Yamamoto's body trembled visibly.

He stammered and opened his mouth. It turned out that he had been trembling for a long time and couldn't say anything.

Hong Chuanfeng didn't have the patience to wait for Dong Qu, so he directly turned to his assistant.

"Xiao Tian, ​​go check the memos from the past two years to see if there are any similar reports that have been compiled to him.

In addition, let the audit team come in and verify on-site the use of R&D funds.”

Hong Chuanfeng was not alone when he came to HAL that time. He quickly brought the audit team with him, and they are waiting outside now.

At the same time, it will make them give up and let everyone see it more clearly.

Hong Chuanfeng directly pulled out the report records of the past two years to see if HAL had any explanation for the wrong funds.

When I heard Hongchuan Kaede begging for an on-site audit, let alone Tanimura, Yamamoto's body was shaking, and he collapsed softly on the chair.

However, none of that could make Hongchuan Feng change his mind. Two minutes later, a team of staff members in suits walked in from outside.

At the same time, Xiaotian also held a document record and placed it on the conference table.

Just like that, Oda was responsible for tracing the memos, and the audit team was responsible for checking the accounts.

Everyone had a clear division of labor, and for a while the conference room was filled with the sound of rustling documents.

As for the others, let’s not talk about Tanimura and Yamamoto for the moment. Even Satoru Iwata and Daiji Shandong felt like their scalps were numb.

Several heads of the development team even felt their mouths were dry.

Although they knew that it had nothing to do with them, the uneasiness still lingered in their hearts.

Checking the accounts in person is almost like a public execution.

And looking at the expressions of Tanimura and Yamamoto, you can tell that things are absolutely wrong and not that simple.

Since the audit was negative, the whole process took no more than an hour and the first clues were revealed.

In fact, Hongchuan Feng had already received a rough report beforehand.

What we are doing now is just making a more detailed confirmation based on the bill from HAL.

"Hongchuan-san, please take a look." Oda respectfully handed the previously compiled data to Hongchuan Feng.

After taking the report and glancing at it, Hongchuan Feng's eyes became a little colder.

"Tanimura-san, Sanbon-san, there are a few reimbursements in the bill. Can you explain it to me?"

As he spoke, Hongchuan Feng started to read the wrong bill without waiting for their reaction.

"In September 1982, I went to Roppongi in autumn, and the taxi fare was 3 million yuan. The purpose of the trip was business.

Also in September, entertainment expenses for business trips in Roppongi were 12 million yen per month.

In December 1982, 2 million yuan was spent to replace potted plants in the office..."

"Bang!" The dull sound echoed in the conference room, and everyone was frightened.

He quietly raised his eyes and took a look. Hongkawa Kaede was staring angrily at Tanimura Masahito.

He slapped the palm of his leg where the table was, where he was holding down the bill he had just finished reading.

"Punishment, real punishment!" Hongchuan Feng has never been as angry as she was tomorrow.

"The taxi fare for a distance of less than 9 kilometers is 3 million yuan. A reception cost 12 million yuan.

In the coldest month of winter, I went to replace 2 million potted plants.

What's even more amazing is that the reimbursement is more than one payment.

The report to the audit team made no mention of those reimbursements.

A simple sentence of 'research and development expenses' was taken away lightly.

Are we insulting his IQ?!" Hong Chuanfeng's last question made everyone's eardrums tremble.

"Bangdang" Yamamoto just collapsed on the chair, and he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

As the president, Tanimura's face turned red and he was shaking.

Seeing their ugly behavior, Hongchuan Feng felt angry at all.

I was so brave when I filled in the reimbursement, why am I so timid now?

"The others will go out first, Tanimura and Yamamoto Ryutō." The light in Hongchuan Feng's eyes was uncertain, and his voice was even more stable.

But the more this happens, the more terrified everyone becomes.

Those who had nothing to do with that incident also wanted to leave Conference Room 1 immediately.

It was the first time they saw Hongchuan Feng getting angry, and not surprisingly, it left a huge shadow in their hearts.

When Bu Nao left the conference room, everyone glanced at Tanimura and Yamamoto hatefully.

There is a problem with the hundreds of millions of yuan in funds, and the greed is too ruthless.

Their monthly salary is only a small amount, and the highest one does not exceed 500,000 yuan per month.

That amount of money is just a drop in the bucket compared to what was in the bill just now.
