My 1999

Follow the address sent by Masayoshi Son and drive all the way here.

Looking at the surrounding single-family houses.

"The environment here is really good." Xu Liang said.

"The prices of the houses here are too expensive. There is no need for us to live here." Fukuda said heartily.

Xu Liang smiled, "We will have a better house than here in the future."

"As long as I'm with Xu Jun, I'm willing to live anywhere."

Firm words of love can always touch people's hearts. Xu Liang patted Futian's heart.

The main reason why he is willing to bring her with him is because when a woman only cares about you, it is really difficult not to be emotional.

"I can't bear to let you suffer."

Futian Xinmei nodded gently, resting her head on his shoulder, quietly feeling the solid sense of security, and her heart was filled with happiness.

"President, here we are."

The driver's words interrupted the silence between the two.

"Come on, let's get off the bus."

"Um."

He brought Futian Xinmei down and carried the gifts to the courtyard gate.

After ringing the doorbell, not long after, the closed iron door slowly opened to both sides.

Xu Liang goes in.

Facing the front is a Japanese-style garden that is not very large.

The soft light illuminates the yard very brightly.

Walk along the stone path to the entrance.

The door suddenly opened and Son Zhengyi came out.

"Mr. Xu, welcome to my humble home."

“It’s an honor to be here as a guest.”

After Son Zhengyi smiled politely, his eyes turned to Fukuda Xinmei.

"Who is this……?"

"My girlfriend Fukuda Xinmei."

Futian Xinmei quickly saluted and said hello.

"Miss Futian is really beautiful, and the two of you are a perfect match."

"Thanks."

"This is my lady."

Son Zhengyi introduced his wife.

After Xu Liang and Futian Xinmei greeted politely, they were welcomed into the room.

Sit down in the living room, and soon the chef will bring the prepared meal.

Most of them are Japanese food, but the portions are huge.

"I heard that Mr. Xu has a good appetite. I hope what I have prepared today can satisfy you."

"Mr. Sun is interested."

Son Zhengyi smiled and picked up the chopsticks.

"Let's use our chopsticks. Bluefin tuna fillets are best when they are fresh."

"Then I'm welcome." Xu Liang smiled.

"please."

"please."

The four of them chatted while eating and quickly finished their dinner.

Sun Zhengyi and Xu Liang went to the study room, while Futian Xinmei was taken away by Mrs. Sun.

"This is the Yuqian Longjing I bought from your country."

With that said, he poured Xu Liang a drink.

Say 'thank you'.

"How many days will Mr. Xu plan to stay in Japan this time?"

"If nothing else happens, about a week."

Son Zhengyi nodded and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu should have seen Yahoo's stock price, right?"

"Yes. Mr. Sun's business talent is indeed unparalleled. Under your leadership, Yahoo Japan's stock price has doubled several times in a row, which is amazing."

"As the third largest shareholder of Yahoo Japan, Mr. Xu has also made a lot of money."

Xu Liang had a smile on his face, and the 10% equity had indeed made him a lot of money.

According to the current stock price of Yahoo! Japan, this part of the equity is worth nearly 200 million US dollars, and it is still appreciating.

"I'm not the only one making money. As the major shareholder of Hongmeng Japan, Mr. Sun's equity has increased in value at least ten times," Xu Liangdao said.

Masayoshi Son’s SoftBank holds 10% of Hongmeng Japan.

Based on Hongmeng Japan’s revenue this year, its valuation can reach US$500 million.

Although it is not as high as Yahoo! Japan's increase, it is already a high-quality stock worth real money.

Speaking of this, Son Zhengyi also smiled on his face.

"We are mutually achieving each other, so we should drink tea instead of wine."

"certainly."

Xu Liang picked up the tea cup.

The two gestured from afar and each took a sip.

After putting down the tea cup, Son Zhengyi smiled.

"I remember Mr. Xu said that Hongmeng will consider financing this year. I don't know when exactly?"

Xu Liang instantly understood that this was Sun Zhengyi's purpose for tonight's family dinner.

After smiling slightly.

"If nothing else happens, we will prepare to officially launch Series A financing in July this year."

Son's eyes lit up.

“It’s already April.”

Xu Liang smiled and said: "Welcome Mr. Sun to Xiangjiang in three months."

"Xiangjiang?"

"That's right. As an international financial city, Xiangjiang has branches of all major financial institutions, so it is very suitable for negotiations."

Son’s eyes flashed.

"How many shares does Mr. Xu plan to take out? How much money will be raised?"

"20% of the shares. As for the specific amount of financing, let's wait and see. After all, Hongmeng is still developing at a high speed, and each month's revenue is stronger than the previous month."

Son Zhengyi nodded slightly.

In Series A financing, 20% of the shares is not a small amount.

Even if everyone shares it together, SoftBank will still get a lot.

"SoftBank will be there on time."

"I will send the invitation letter to SoftBank's email address on time."

"Then I'll be waiting for you." Son Zhengyi smiled.

"no problem."

After the two sides looked at each other and smiled, Son changed the topic.

"I heard that Mr. Xu is chasing SNK?"

"Mr. Sun has so many things to do, how do you know this?" Xu Liang asked with a smile.

“I know Kazuki Okada, the president of ARUZE, and I once heard him mention Hongmeng’s purchase of SNK.”

"I see. But that was last year. And I heard that Mr. Okada Kazuo's situation is not very good now."

Son understood what he meant.

Okada Kazuki's stubbornness caused ARUZE to lose a lot of profits. Not only the company's internal executives opposed him, but his wife, son and daughter even joined forces to oust him.

It almost got to the point of betrayal and separation.

After a person dies, it is common for children and wives to fight over family property, but this is the first time he has heard of a living person doing this.

"It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Let Okada handle his own affairs. But for SNK, if you are still interested, I can help you contact him. After all, I am also a shareholder of Hongmeng Japan." Son Zhengyi said.

Xu Liang shook his head, "The copyright of SNK has been taken into his own hands by Eikichi Kawasaki. Although the remaining SNK cannot be said to be an empty shell, it only has some fixed assets left, and it also carries a foreign debt of 40 billion yen.

Even if you give SNK like this to me, I wouldn’t dare to ask for it. "

Sun Zhengyi nodded and did not continue the topic.

After the two chatted about some business topics, Xu Liang took Fukuda Xinmei and left.

"What did Mrs. Sun talk to you about?"

Futian Xinmei's face turned red as if she thought of something, and she lowered her voice.

"Nothing, just told me some issues about men and women."

"Then shall we practice it?"

"If Mr. Xu is willing, he can do whatever he wants."

Seeing her shy face, Xu Liang almost went berserk.

But after thinking about it, I forgot about it.

I really ate Futian Xinmei. I have to spend the night outside tonight. It’s not easy to explain to the Futian family.

After sending her home, Xu Liang returned to the hotel by himself.

Shortly after Xu Liang arrived at the company the next day, his secretary Kagami Miyoko opened the door and walked in.

"President, ARUZE Company President Kazuo Okada called and wants to visit you."

"Okada Kazuo?"

Xu Liang quickly thought of his chat with Son Zhengyi last night.

"Did he tell you the reason?"

"He just said he wanted to cooperate with us and didn't say anything else."

Xu Liang thought for a moment and nodded, "Promise him."

"OK."

Okada Kazuo arrived faster than he expected and arrived at the company that afternoon.

Looking at the old man in his sixties who was wearing a black suit, Xu Liang smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"Mr. Okada, welcome."

"I have admired Mr. Xu for a long time, but now I know that you are younger than I thought. It is really enviable."

"You've thanked me, please come in."

"please."

After the two sat down in the reception room, Xu Liang said directly.

"I wonder why Mr. Okada visited us in Hongmeng?"

"Mr. Xu is so direct, so I won't beat around the bush." ​​After a pause, "If I sell all SNK's classic copyrights, such as "The King of Fighters" and "Legend of the Wolf" to Hongmeng, how much is Mr. Xu willing to pay? money?"

Xu Liang's head turned rapidly, and after a moment, he did not answer immediately.

"As far as I know, all these copyrights of SNK have been sold to a South Korean company and are not in the hands of SNK, so Mr. Okada's words have no practical significance."

"What if I could take back the copyrights that Eikichi Kawasaki sold?"

Xu Liang was moved and looked at the smiling old man opposite.

"Then let's wait until you take back the copyright first."

Okada Kazuo shook his head, "I have to understand how much value doing this can bring to me. If I can't get enough reward for my efforts, then I won't do it.

So, how much is Mr. Xu willing to pay for these rights? "

Xu Liang thought about it briefly.

"2 billion yen."

"No, no, 2 billion yen is too little. Both "The King of Fighters" and "Hungry Wolf" have a deep audience. As long as they are developed well, it will be easy to earn 2 billion yen.

Even doubling it several times is not a problem. "

"In that case, why don't you keep these copyrights for development yourself?" Xu Liang said with a smile.

"ARUZE is engaged in gambling. When we acquired SNK, we mainly wanted to use their rich experience in arcade development to develop new gambling games. We had no intention of making family games, so SNK's copyright was useless to us.

Kawasaki Eikichi was also targeting our needs at the beginning, and he repeatedly made small moves to take away SNK's real treasure. "

"Mr. Okada, since you understand that he has evil intentions, why didn't you make preparations earlier? Isn't it too late to react now?" Xu Liang said.

"I have always trusted him, and I didn't expect that he would betray me. Moreover, during this time, things at home made it difficult for me to distract myself, which allowed him to take advantage of me.

However, ARUZE still holds a controlling stake in SNK. The contract signed between Eikichi Kawasaki and PLAYMORE is also in the name of SNK. If we breach the contract, all SNK copyright and trademark rights will return to our hands. "

Xu Liang was moved.

This is indeed a solution.

The key is how much is the liquidated damages?
