Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

If an enterprise wants to develop rapidly, it cannot do without the support of talents, and the rise of a new force will surely step on the corpse of the old overlord. This is the natural law of development. To develop an enterprise, it must also capture the market share of other enterprises and steal food from others. This is especially true in the game market. Every family has a fixed number of children. If they spend more time playing Heiyun games, they will naturally have less time playing games from other companies; they may even stop playing them.

Bao Zixuan knew that the rise of a gaming giant in the 1980s and 1990s would cause huge repercussions around the world, and that was the RB gaming giant Nintendo. This playing card factory established at the end of the 19th century has developed into a gaming giant. In addition to the extraordinary ability and forward-looking vision of the business leaders, it is also inseparable from the extraordinary performance of two geniuses.

Yokoi Junpei and Miyamoto Hat, one is sweeping the army in hardware production and the other is alone in game development. Now that these two people have not performed particularly well, it is a good time for Bao Zixuan to take action. So after signing the contract with Taitung Co., Ltd., Bao Zixuan gave Xiao Jiade a task, which was to forcefully dig out Junpei Yokoi and Miyamoto. Now that he had some clues, it was Bao Zixuan's turn to appear. He had to personally persuade the two. People join.

Miyamoto has just graduated from college two years ago, and he entered Nintendo through his father's relationship. He is currently just an ordinary game designer, with very average salary and benefits. They are all relatively low-ranking within Nintendo. After Xiao Jiade explained his intention, he heard that Xiangjiang Company was not interested at first. When he learned that Xiangjiang Cubes and Pac-Man were produced by the company, especially the other boss, who was the game developer, wanted to When I met him, I readily agreed.

In order to avoid the people from Taitung Co., Ltd., Bao Zixuan chose a high-end coffee shop in Tokyo to meet them. When Xiao Jiade came in wearing a Miyamoto hat, after introducing both parties, he chose to leave because he wanted to give his clients room for confidentiality. When Miyamoto saw that this man who was a few years younger than him was already a famous designer in the industry, he was still very envious. After everyone said hello, we started to get down to business.

Bao Zixuan: "Miyamoto-kun, Lawyer Xiao has already introduced my purpose to you. Although our company has just started, the two current games are selling very well in Asia, and I also intend to increase the development of new games, so I I hope Miyamoto-kun will join us and we can create brilliance together.”

Miyamoto Hat: "I'm just a small game designer. Why did Bao Sang invite me? I don't quite understand."

Bao Zixuan: "When looking at a person's development, we need to look at the long term. It depends not only on fame, but also on his talent. The game industry pays more attention to a designer's love for games, otherwise everything is empty talk. I have seen Miyamoto Some of your works in college, although some are not very mature, are full of creativity. And I admire your attitude towards games."

Miyamoto Hat: "What position will I get if I join your company and the corresponding benefits?"

Bao Zixuan: "You will become the director of the game development department of our entire Heiyun Company, with an annual salary of US$120,000, with an annual increase of 5%. You will receive a 3% commission on the profits of the games developed by your department, and there will also be option rewards from the company. In When working in Xiangjiang, you have the opportunity to return to RB on weekends twice a month, and the first-class company will reimburse everything, including your family."

Miyamoto Hat: "This is an irresistible salary package, but how much power do I have as the head of game development, and I know that Baosang is the leader in game development."

Bao Zixuan: "You can take full responsibility, and I am going to study in the United States soon and set up a North American branch there. I will only exchange ideas with you, and I will not take care of other things; I have other businesses. manage."

Miyamoto hat: "Can I bring someone over from RB?"

Bao Zixuan: "That's your business. After you join, you will be in charge of all the development department staff. I will only ask the company to arrange their logistics and wages."

Miyamoto Hat: "Boss, it's a pleasure to work with you." After saying that, he extended his right hand, and Bai Zixuan also extended his right hand in recognition of the pretense; the two held their hands together. Bao Zixuan called Xiao Jiade, and Xiao Jiade finished preparing the contract in a short time. When he saw the 10-year contract, he felt a little unhappy, and the amount of liquidated damages was also scary, but otherwise he was very satisfied and hesitated. I signed after a while.

The moment Bao Zixuan saw Miyamoto Hao signing, he finally let go. He handed the check of 100,000 US dollars that he had prepared long ago to Miyamoto Hao, "This is your signing fee." About your time at Nintendo Contract Lawyer Xiao will help you get it done. And when Bao Zixuan returns to Xiangjiang in three days, Miyamoto Hat will go back with them. After several people had lunch in the cafe, both parties were very satisfied, and Miyamoto Hat left with a smile.

After sending Miyamoto's hat away, Bao Zixuan asked: "When will Junpei Yokoi arrive?"

Xiao Jiade: "The appointment is for 3 p.m., there are still 45 minutes left." After everyone waited in the cafe for about 40 minutes, they finally saw Yokoi Junpei. Unlike new employees like Miyamoto, Yokoi is now a middle-level manager at Nintendo.

After Xiao Jiade introduced everyone again, he left the private room.

Yokoi Junpei: "It turns out that Bao Sang is so young, it seems that I am really old."

Bao Zixuan: "Yokoi-kun is only in his 30s, how could you say such a thing!"

Yokoi Junpei: "I don't know what advice Baosang had when he called me an employee from a rival company."

Bao Zixuan: "Today we are opponents, tomorrow we are friends."

Yokoi Junpei: "I already know why Bao-san called me, but why should I give up my stable job and go to Xiangjiang with you, a company that I don't know when I will see hope! I am not a game developer, a company A company cannot develop a good console just by developing a few good games.”

Bao Zixuan: "The platform I can give you is something that no company or individual can provide, and working here for one year is equivalent to working for Nintendo for 5 years or more. Heiyun is not a listed company, and there are no board restrictions on salary and benefits." , our revenue may exceed 100 million US dollars this year. And I will provide your game console development department with no less than 10 million US dollars for research and development every year. I will only send one financial person to supervise the accounts, and the rest will be You have the final say. At the same time, you have to complete the tasks I give you. I had no intention of making money in the first three years, at least in your game console development department."

Yokoi Junpei: "What kind of treatment can I get?"

Bao Zixuan: "The annual salary is 600,000 US dollars, with an increment of 10% every three years, and a 3% commission on the profits of the products you develop. This is valid for a long time. As long as you work at Heiyun until retirement, your family will always enjoy the benefits brought by this part. Unless Black Cloud goes bankrupt. And there are future option rewards. You have the opportunity to go back to RB for the weekend twice a month, and all first-class air tickets will be reimbursed, including your family."

Yokoi Junpei: "I am still bound by the contract in the company, and I cannot leave easily."

Bao Zixuan: "The lawyer will take care of everything. After the two shake hands, you can boldly recruit the talents you need. This aspect depends on you, Yokoi-kun."

Yokoi Junpei was actually not very happy at Nintendo during this period. Some of his developments required a lot of money. And unlike games, which can bring immediate profits, hardware products cannot be profitable until a certain number of sales are made. Therefore, the board of directors and company management put a lot of pressure on him. After comprehensive consideration, Yokoi Junping still agreed to accept Bao Zixuan's invitation.

It was still a ten-year contract. Yokoi Junpei said nothing. After signing, Bao Zixuan handed a check of 300,000 US dollars to Yokoi Junpei. Looking at this huge sum of money, Yokoi Junpei was completely relieved. And Bao Zixuan is even more relieved, because after bringing Junpei Yokoi and Miyamoto to Xiangjiang, it will not be so easy for Nintendo to rise.

A check of 10 million yen was signed and handed over to Xiao Jiade, and Xiao Jiade was officially hired as the legal counsel of the RB branch of Heiyun Company. The first task given to him was to register some patents required for hardware. The most important ones were important hardware patents such as handle shape and cross keys. Although He Mingcheng has been entrusted with the registration in Xiangjiang, the speed is not very fast. In the future, Xiao Jiade at RB will also be responsible for registering the patent.
