My 1999

Seeing SNK's balance sheet at the back of the information was like a bucket of cold water being poured down on my head.

"28 billion yen?" Xu Liang frowned.

According to the current exchange rate, it is 1.4 billion Chinese dollars, nearly 160 million U.S. dollars.

This debt is too high.

Hongmeng's entire company's revenue is not enough in two years.

Instead of spending a lot of money to acquire it, it is better to use the money to develop Bing search.

After calming down.

"Contact other agents."

Xu Zhe nodded.

Xu Liang has no development plans for Hongmeng Japan’s game business, and will mainly focus on establishing game distribution channels in a short period of time.

Compared with Hongmeng Games, the Japanese version of Bing Search is online faster.

After all, when I was in China, I had already completed the daily optimization of the search engine, and it was not troublesome to connect to the database.

However, it is still online, and some functions still need to be fine-tuned, such as encyclopedia.

But it no longer affects the overall situation.

Vice President Chen Hai is mainly responsible for Hongmeng Japanese search business.

"How is it?" Xu Liang asked.

"it is ready."

With that said, Chen Hai opened the Excite portal, and the search bar above had changed to Bing.

“Has the number of daily views changed?”

"No, it still has 13 million views per day."

Xu Liang frowned slightly, "This is not good news."

Chen Hai understood what he meant.

No change means that netizens are very loyal to the Excite website and have not given up logging in because of the change of search engines.

In other words, search engines don't matter.

Just like in China, Xu Liang encountered the problem of users' Internet habits.

"When will the information, encyclopedia, games, music, and knowledge sections be launched online?"

"We are currently recruiting IT engineers from Japan, and it will take a month at the earliest."

"One month?" Xu Liang frowned.

"Mr. Xu, it's actually very fast. We used the database accumulated by the Excite portal, otherwise it would be even slower."

Xu Liang also knew that he was a little eager for success, so he said no more.

"What do you think of Oda Wuchao?" Xu Liang then asked.

Goto Oda is the CTO of Excite and a PhD in computer engineering from Stanford.

"The level is very high, a typical programmer, obsessed with technical issues, not very sociable. He has helped me solve a lot of technical problems these days." Chen Haidao.

"That's good. Hurry up and form a technical team. Now we can't rely solely on Chinese technical personnel to conquer the world."

Chen Hai nodded.

"How is the progress with Hongmeng Music?"

"It is still being revised. Limited by the domestic Internet speed, the UI design of Hongmeng Music is very simple. However, Japan has a high broadband penetration rate and fast Internet speed. We plan to redo the UI, add more channels, and highlight Light music and anime music.”

Xu Liang nodded, "Are there any other music websites in Japan?"

"Currently, only Japan's Gongxin.com has launched an online ranking website, but it does not provide music downloads. The only one that can pose a threat to us is Napster Japan, but their UI design is too poor.

Moreover, they have not obtained authorization from the music company, so once they are sued, it will be difficult for them to survive. "

In fact, as a pioneer of online music, Napster was directly killed by the five major music companies including Universal and EMI.

The compensation for one song was US$100,000, and the appeals continued to fail.

There is no other way out than bankruptcy.

We have long known that copyright is powerful. Hongmeng Music Network’s expansion in China, South Korea and the entire Greater China region has focused on the acquisition of copyright. If it cannot acquire it, it will cooperate.

If there is no way to cooperate, just recruit independent musicians and enjoy the share.

Build influence bit by bit.

He still has plenty of time.

“First upload free music to populate the website, and then invite those niche musicians to upload their works.”

Chen Hai nodded and agreed.

"Mr. Xu, I want to set up an offline music company in Tokyo."

Xu Liang did not rush to deny it, "Tell me your plan."

“Many Japanese songs adapted into Chinese songs are also very popular, and in turn I believe there is a huge market for them.

So I want to find some Japanese musicians who specialize in Japaneseizing domestic popular songs. While making money, they can also fill the company's copyright library. "

Xu Liang became interested.

Japan also belongs to the Confucian cultural circle, and they have cultural similarities with each other. After many Japanese songs were adapted, they were indeed very popular in China.

"Your idea is good, and we can apply inferences and adapt songs from Japan and South Korea, and also adapt Chinese songs to South Korea, Japan, and even the entire Nanyang."

Chen Hai nodded excitedly, "This will allow us to lay a foundation in the music industry and build influence bit by bit."

"How much does your plan cost?"

"One million Huaxia coins. Our market is mainly online, so I plan to use new people. Once we have a certain reputation, we will consider online and offline linkages."

"Come up with a detailed plan."

"good."

"Do you have a website promotion plan?"

"We are currently planning to cooperate with Internet cafe chains in Japan. However, their asking price is a bit high."

"How many?"

"A machine costs 800 yen, and we are only allowed to download one type of software. For two models, it will be doubled."

In China, Internet cafe operators are all individuals and have weak bargaining power, but this is different in Japan. At present, AOKI Holdings, the largest Internet cafe chain in Japan, has 47 stores and nearly 16,000 machines in 13 cities in Japan.

On average, more than 50,000 people visit our doors every day.

To convince such a company, the price is naturally high.

"800 yen is too high, let's talk about it later. If it doesn't work, start with small Internet cafes first, and then consider these big companies after they reach a certain scale." Xu Liang said.

800 yen is equivalent to about 40 Chinese coins.

How many machines are there in Japanese Internet cafes?

Xu Liang is not sure, but it must be more than 100,000.

If we really follow their advice, Hongmeng Japan’s promotion fee will be too high.

Chen Hai nodded, "If we really can't talk...?"

"Try it first before talking." Xu Liang said.

If the negotiation really fails, he will choose to throw money at it.

The website directory is a portal-like port. Once successfully promoted, it will not only create a large amount of revenue, but also promote Hongmeng Music, Bing Search, Hongmeng Games and other businesses.

Therefore, no matter which market it is in, the website directory is the first website to be promoted.

After touring the company and communicating with the heads of various departments, Xu Liang left.

At this moment, the sun is setting in the west, and the orange-red sunset shines on the bustling streets of the port area, reflecting the completed landmark Mori Building in the port area in the distance, which is particularly dazzling.

Considering that he had been in Japan for many days but had not taken a good stroll, Xu Liang closed the car door.

"Let's go, find a place to eat and then we'll go back."

Huo Gang didn't care, he would go wherever Xu Liang went.

Miyoko Kagami, who was in charge of translating, was reluctant because she was wearing high heels and it was difficult to walk. But if the big boss wants to take a stroll, she doesn't dare to object.

But after walking for a while, Xu Liang had seen enough.

They are all high-rise buildings. To other Chinese people of this era, Tokyo may be considered very prosperous, fashionable and modern.

But Xu Liang, who has memories of his previous life, has long been accustomed to strange things.

In China twenty years later, the city center of any second-tier city will look like this.

"Ms. Kaga, do you know where there is a better restaurant?"

Miyoko Kagami nodded quickly, "I know. There is a barbecue restaurant on Tsukishima that is very delicious."

Damn it, she's gone far enough.

"Then let's take a taxi there."

"President, I can go back and drive."

He looked at the high heels on her feet and said, "No need. It'll be the same if you drive again tomorrow."

We hired a taxi and drove towards Tsukishima under the leadership of Kagami Miyoko, a native.

Tsukishima is an island reclaimed from Tokyo Bay in the last century. It is located in the central business district and is adjacent to the port area. It does not take long to drive there.

"President, the Tsukishima Bridge is ahead. It takes at most three minutes to reach the bridge." Miyoko Kagami said.

"Um."

It's the off-duty time now, and there is a lot of traffic passing through the bridge, so the speed inevitably slows down.

As we approached the middle of the bridge, the taxi suddenly stopped.

After waiting for a while, the car in front didn't move either.

"what happened?"

The middle-aged driver got out of the car to check.

It didn't take long before he came back.

A car rear-ended a bus, causing the rear car to fail to brake in time, causing a series of collisions and directly blocking traffic.

"Is this not far from the place you mentioned?" Xu Liang asked.

Miyoko Kagami nodded quickly.

"Pay the fare and we'll walk directly there."

Waiting here is a waste of time.

Everyone got off the car and walked to the center of the bridge. Sure enough, I saw a bus parked here, and behind it there were three or two cars twisting and turning, blocking both lanes of traffic.

At this time, the bus door opened and the passengers inside got out.

Walking towards the opposite side through the sidewalk beside the bridge, it was obvious that like Xu Liang and the others, they no longer wanted to wait.

at this time.

A woman in a red dress caught his attention.

Wearing a long skirt on a cold day is enough.

Just when he was about to look away, the woman actually climbed over the low fence.

Xu Liang's heart thumped.

"It's broken, it's not about jumping down..."

Before the thought came to an end, the woman had already opened her arms and fell directly towards the bridge.

Everyone who was attracted by the woman immediately exclaimed.

"Jumped off the bridge."

“Someone jumped off the bridge.”…

Just when everyone was exclaiming, Xu Liang had already walked to the bridge, took off his coat, took a deep breath and jumped off.

"Brother Liang..."

Huo Gang's exclamation quickly disappeared from his ears.

The bridge is very high, more than ten meters.

If you are not physically strong, you will be knocked out immediately if it hits the water.

Xu Liang plunged down hard, clenched his fists with both hands, and felt that he hit a piece of hard glass.

Fortunately, he was strong after rebirth and was not injured.

After getting deep into the water, a cold feeling followed.

Although Tokyo Bay has not yet reached subzero in November, it is still very cold.

After getting used to it, Xu Liang kicked off his legs and dived underwater like a fish.
