104 The future belongs to the Internet and video games
When Zhu Yuxing first established the company, went through various procedures, and applied for high-value loans, Fujii helped with some small help.
Without Fujii's endorsement, banks in the current bubble burst era would not dare to issue huge loans to a start-up company.
But with Fujii's status, it is easy to help others establish a company and apply for high-value loans.
Takeyusei's father has always been a good friend of Fujii. He never refused the request of his friend's children. He even regarded the money he gave as pocket money for his children and never thought about getting it back.
It's just a child. It's a good thing to want to start a business, but starting a business in this era of bubble burst is really a bit reckless.
But he doesn't care. If he loses money, he loses money, and he won't say a word.
Just think of it as a tuition fee for a friend's child, so that he can grow up.
However, he never expected that Zhu Youxing could really break into a market.
It is still a market in a completely new field, and it has already generated very healthy cash flow in less than a year.
Based on some of the data displayed on the official website, he estimated that his investment in Zhuyouxing last year was actually his highest-yield project in recent years.
Fujii rummaged through one of the drawers in his desk and finally found the one belonging to Takeyusei among countless contracts.
This is a share contract signed with Zhuyouxing.
"Five percent of pure original shares don't have any voting rights... It's a bit of a pity, but it saves trouble. You can just concentrate on waiting for dividends every year, and don't have to worry about company management."
As long as Youxing Electronic Entertainment continues to develop healthily, he may actually earn a lot of money in the future.
Maybe I have to work harder to protect this seedling.
No, we have to talk to the other directors and try to persuade them to pay more attention to the field of video games. We can't let those TV guys crush such a company with unlimited potential.
I am so overwhelmed that I have to make a lot less money.
Fujii immediately stood up and left his office.
Sayaka Takenaka has already negotiated the interview with the manager of TV Tokyo. They agreed to conduct an interview at noon on Friday, and also included an interview program on the radio channel. You can choose any time period, and the total price is only one thousand.
Just 10,000 yen.
This surprised Sayaka Takenaka.
If TV Tokyo accepts this interview program, it means that it will directly compete with several other TV stations. Originally, TV Tokyo's status is weaker than those of other TV stations. The result of such an obvious confrontation may not be very good.
In this way, they agreed that the talk show should be like a lion speaking loudly.
In fact, the top of TV TOKYO is the Japan Economic Newspaper.
Fujii is also the powerful director of Keizai Shimbun newspaper, so he has no problem relying on his influence to influence its TV stations.
Even if people there are dissatisfied, they don't dare to show it.
The powerful directors of the newspaper are indeed not something they can afford to offend, and it is not worth it just for a talk show.
And anyway, this is the status of TV Tokyo. It has been suppressed by other TV stations in the past, and this time is no different.
With the orders from above, they also understood that Youxing Electronic Entertainment was probably related to the newspaper, so it would not be good to ask for too much money, so they asked for a friendly price of 10 million to show their sincerity.
Takeyusei didn't know these things. When Takenaka Sayaka mentioned it to him, he thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't find out the reason.
The Nikkei Business News is probably the only newspaper that intends to get involved in this matter. Several other newspapers do not want to participate because of pride or other reasons.
The one who is preparing to conduct the interview is the current public relations team of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.
They are best at standing in front of the stage and using all means to protect their company's interests.
On Friday, people from Youxing Electronic Entertainment came to the TV station, and so did Zhuyousing.
He had never been to the TV station before, so he wanted to stop by for a visit, and then see how his family was doing, and see if any accidents could be rectified.
While Zhu Youxing was waiting for the interview to begin, a man in formal attire came over.
"President Zhuyou, nice to meet you!"
This person is a deputy director of the TV station, and Takenaka Sayaka had negotiated with this deputy director's staff before.
Originally, this kind of thing would not attract much attention from the deputy director, it was just a small time adjustment.
But things are different now. Now that the affairs of Youxing Electronic Entertainment are related to the senior management of the newspaper, he, the deputy director, immediately changed his attitude and directed this interview program himself, hoping to get closer to the senior management of the newspaper.
"Hello, Director Kubo, I'm glad to see you too. I didn't expect that such a trivial matter would attract the attention of the director of the TV station."
Director Kubo waved his hand: "This is not a trivial matter. This is a life-and-death crisis for an industry. The topic is very popular at the moment. This can also increase the appeal of our TV station."
Several other TV stations want to suppress video games as much as possible, trying to revive the TV industry through this, and at least spit out the 5% of ratings that video games have taken away from them.
What TV Tokyo chooses here is to ride on the popularity. Relying on this popularity to promote video games may also increase the ratings in disguised form.
But it was just a try. The more reason was the order from the newspaper.
Director Kubo sighed and said: "The times have really changed. TV stations are gradually declining, but your video game is a rising star, completely unstoppable."
Takeyusei's heart moved: "Director Kubo looks different from other TV stations?"
Kubo smiled disdainfully: "Those TV stations are all a group of stubborn guys. They just want to protect their own ratings, but completely ignore the general trend of the times. Look at the current Internet.
There are already 30 million Internet users, and they will continue to expand. I think the future should belong to the Internet, and your video games also have this potential."
"Internet? It seems that Director Kubo has a very good vision."
Kubo is not young, but his thinking is very original.
Perhaps because of their position as the youngest member of the TV station, they have given up on competing head-on with other TV stations.
I plan to fight in other ways.
This is someone's own decision, and it has nothing to do with him, and Zhu Youxing doesn't care too much.
"Speaking of which, President Zhuyou, does your company have any plans to raise funds recently?" Kubo Shuruo asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Financing?" Zhu Youxing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "We have no plans to do so for the time being. Our cash flow is very healthy."
It’s not just about health.
It's simply incredibly healthy.
Now the reserve funds on hand alone have almost exceeded 10 billion.
If Zhu Youxing was a person who focused on making money now, he would have probably already planned to rely on the money to expand the scale of the company, invest crazily in companies with potential, and find ways to make money make money.
But he thinks this is enough, and healthy cash flow is actually quite important. He doesn’t panic when he has money in his hands. In his previous life, he just experienced a major epidemic in the world. People in China are generally troubled by their savings habits.
It was easier to avoid risks, survived the most severe period of the epidemic, and finally emerged as a new force around the world.
Moreover, in the previous life, Nintendo was also a money-saving maniac, and also had terrible cash flow in its hands. Only by doing this could it survive the initial crisis through repeated tricks, otherwise it would have gone bankrupt long ago.
ps: Sorry dear readers, last night was the last day of my exam, and I was a little tired after finishing it, but I promise that I will make up for it with updates, and I will definitely not miss out on them until they are released.
