Chapter 401 Deal with it before

Hearing that Hongkawa Kaede had asked him to develop the handheld console, Satoru Iwata was eager to give it a try, but at the same time he was a little worried.

After all, Tanimura learned from the past, could he have witnessed it with his own eyes?

And the way Hongchuan-kun gets angry is really scary.

They had known each other since they had not graduated. In the eyes of Satoru Iwata, Hongkawa Kaede has always had a gentle and friendly image.

But tomorrow Satoru Iwata will finally see his ruthless side.

Soon, Satoru Iwata put all those disturbances behind him. He was not corrupt, so he had nothing to worry about.

His favorite thing, Satoru Iwata, is computers, his second favorite is games, and his third favorite is beauties.

As for money, Satoru Iwata doesn't have any ultimate pursuit, just enough is enough.

But for a fat man, he didn't even spend much of the money he earned in those years.

So after hearing that Hongkawa Kaede wanted to hand over the development of the handheld console to himself, Iwata hesitated a little and began to really consider its related development work.

After thinking for a while, he said carefully, "Next summer, there should be no problem."

"Okay! Let's make it next summer." Hongkawa Kaede was very satisfied with Iwata's answer.

There was no mention of any difficulties, and the time was given directly.

It's not like Tanimura back then. Not only were people's legs cramped, but time was tight.

In short, during the entire handheld development process, five or six requests were raised.

Although he did not make any additional requests, Hongchuan Feng had already considered some auxiliary work for him.

"If you have any needs during the development process, please be sure to put them forward. When necessary, the SIC and LCD factories will fully cooperate with the development of the handheld console.

All goals are to successfully launch the handheld console next summer."

"Hai!" With that guarantee, Satoru Iwata became even more confident.

In fact, he just gave the time for next summer, which is already a conservative estimate.

Based on his experience in developing the first generation of handheld consoles and his familiarity with SIC8089A, that cycle can be shortened.

But otherwise he would have seen Hong Chuanfeng getting angry, so he gave it a development cycle with enough margin.

The handheld project was restarted again, and Hongkawa Kaede's bad mood because of Tanimura's incident finally improved a lot.

"Everyone," he said solemnly, looking at the faces of everyone in the conference room, "HAL East's first phase focus is on the development of handheld ODS.

Everyone must unconditionally cooperate with project research and development, which includes personnel transfer and assignment of work tasks.”

"Hai!" Everyone agreed in unison.

Even if Tanimura and Yamamoto Hogen started executions before, they didn't dare to perfunctoryly do so.

"In addition, the subsequent development work of FES will be temporarily handed over to Shandong San, and Iwata San will temporarily act as the president of HAL."

FES has now entered a stable period, and there will be no changes to the game console in the short term.

The most that can be done is to develop supporting things such as the surrounding parts of the leg handles. Shandong Dazhi is fully capable of that.

As for the development of FES game cartridges, there are six production teams, so there is no need to worry too much.

No matter how bad it is, signing so many third-party game developers is enough to absorb the number of game cartridges released every year.

The appointment of Satoru Iwata as HAL's acting president does not mean that Hongkawa Kaede is paving the way for him to officially take over as president next year.

When the development of the handheld console is completed and officially launched next year, if the sales volume is acceptable, then the "generation" of President Satoru Iwata will be removed.

Everyone in the conference room could naturally see that Hongkawa Kaede was deliberately cultivating Satoru Iwata, and they had no objection to that fact.

First he developed the best-selling FES, and then he was asked to take over the development of the handheld ODS.

With those two achievements, everyone was convinced by Iwata Satoru's promotion.

Moreover, most of HAL's employees are young people, and everyone is not very particular about seniority.

Just like that, HAL's management went through a sudden change, and the reorganization was quickly completed.

But the handling of the Tanimura and Yamamoto incidents is far from over.

As soon as the meeting ended, Hongchuan Feng immediately asked the audit team of Hongchuan Holdings to settle in the HAL Research Institute.

Over time, they will conduct a comprehensive financial review of HAL.

Hongchuan Kaede did not believe that Tanimura and Yamamoto alone could secretly transfer a huge amount of nearly 300 million yuan in funds.

I wonder if it would be difficult to do that without the cooperation of people from the east or other departments.

The original handheld development team and several critical departments such as human resources focused on reviewing errors.

At the same time, Yamamoto had been interrogated in the conference room just now. After he came out, he was like pouring beans into a bamboo tube and told everything.

It turns out that at the very beginning of the matter, Fugu Cunxian really confused him.

As the president of HAL, Tanimura is not the nominal top executive officer.

Although the parent company Hongchuan Holdings exists, the latter does not participate much in monthly operating activities.

After all, the gaming industry is different from traditional enterprises. You can’t just send two people over and have fun.

Also because Tanimura has the final say in game and software development, in the eyes of ordinary members, he denies the authority of the company.

It happened that he took over the development of a new generation of handheld consoles at that time, and all the funds, personnel transfers, etc. were under Tanimura's power.

When Tanimura found Yamamoto and started making the first large reimbursement.

Although the latter was shocked, he did not dare to report directly to Hongchuan Holdings.

Neon Club is also very hierarchical outside, and if the boss of a club is different from the employees, it is no longer an irresistible existence.

If you don't see it, later generations of Xiaoyuezi bosses will try to please their customers by stuffing their employees' faces into the hot pot.

It happened that a male member of Dentsu was at a banquet and was forced by the leader to finish drinking the beer and pour it into his leather shoes.

As for the situation where the president pours coffee on employees in public and picks up the things around him and smashes them, it is not as common as countless occurrences.

And what do those employees who have been mistreated by local authorities do?

The employee who was suffocated in the hot pot didn't even resist at the time. Other colleagues present also showed no reaction and continued to work after two days of rest.

The male Dentsu employee who drank shoe and heel beer was so unbearable to be humiliated that he went home and committed suicide.

Have you noticed? When those members were bullied, they did not resist immediately.

Even if you can't stand the most extreme resistance to those things, you can't hide in your home alone and commit suicide.

Why do Neon people have such extremely tolerant personalities, and are workplace bullying common to everyone?

That has something to do with their traditional culture, and there is also a very objective description in "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife".

“Neon people are extremely aggressive yet gentle by nature; militaristic yet ruthlessly beautiful; arrogant yet polite;

Stubborn yet weak and fickle; docile yet unwilling to be manipulated; loyal yet prone to rebellion;

Brave yet cowardly; conservative yet eager to welcome the new way of life.”

That passage describes the character and way of doing things of Dangdong Neon people very appropriately.

In that land of ambition and culture, they are recognized by strict hierarchical workplace rules and customs.

Does HAL, or even Hongchuan Electric, have workplace bullying now?

There is no doubt that Hongchuan Maple has no way to completely eradicate this phenomenon.

What he can do is to protect the welfare of his employees as much as possible.

The Neon government has nothing to do about Chengdong's matter, so there is nothing he can do.

So when faced with Tanimura's blatant false report of a large amount of expenses, Yamamoto knew what was fishy and did not dare to question it.

Especially after Tanimura gave him some benefits, Yamamoto even enjoyed it.

Later, they became more courageous, and the two even jointly invested the R&D funds for the handheld console in the stock market.

For them, they can make a lot of money by developing handheld consoles.

Not to mention the long cycle, even if you succeed, you will only receive a small bonus.

But the stock market makes money quickly. A slight increase in the principal of 2 to 3 billion is enough for their salary for a year.

But during those half a year, Tanimura's thoughts were all spent on stock trading, and he had no energy to manage the development of the handheld console.

He casually threw the project into the legs of the people in the east, and he and Yamamoto had a great time trading stocks.

It was only now that Hongchuan Feng came to verify the results of the handheld device in person, and everything came to light.

Hongchuan Feng is also curious. According to Tanimura's income in those years, he should be enough to be considered a social elite.

But why is he trying every possible way to make money for himself through those crooked ways?
