Chapter 272 Acquisition of an arcade company

Kafukang Co., Ltd.

Ono Yosuke was sitting at his desk. The coffee on the table had already gone cold. His eyes were dull and he was looking at the depressed streets outside the window.

Recalling the hardships and honors he had experienced since starting his own business, he was filled with reluctance.

In 1987, the arcade version of the first-generation "Street Fighter" was launched in China. He had great expectations for the game at that time. Unfortunately, he was disappointed that the arcade game had a mediocre response in the country.

In order to survive, he shifted the company's focus to the development of arcade motherboards.

Hard work paid off. In 1988, the company spent huge sums of money to develop a new 16-bit arcade motherboard, which helped the company overcome obstacles and open up a new bright road.

In 1989, good news came again. "Street Fighter", which had a mediocre response in the country, blossomed inside and outside the wall, and was widely welcomed in the European and American markets.

Just when Ono Yosuke was ambitious and planned to launch a version of "Street Fighter 89", the stock market crash happened.

After the avalanche, no snowflake was spared. Ono Yosuke's company was also affected, and his company's capital chain was at risk of breaking.

"President, there is a Mr. Lu outside who calls himself Yinshan Capital and wants to see you."

The secretary knocked on the door outside and said.

"Your surname is Lu? Please invite him in quickly."

Ono Yosuke first expressed a little doubt about this surname, and then quickly stood up and said.

He is now short of money for emergency relief. As long as the other party is willing to invest in his company, he can negotiate with him regardless of his identity or nationality.

Jiang Hua followed Lu Tianxiong and walked into Jiafu Kang Co., Ltd. He was still very curious about this company that created many classic games.

"Mr. Jiang, do you confirm that this negotiation will be led by me?"

Lu Tianxiong was worried and turned around to confirm.

"I don't understand the language here, and it's troublesome to translate sentence by sentence. Wouldn't it be simpler for you to talk directly?"

Jiang Hua is not good at business negotiations. He has always believed that professional matters should be left to professional people.

"Mr. Lu, hello, I am Yosuke Ono, the president of Jiafu Kang Co., Ltd."

Yosuke Ono walked over enthusiastically wearing a crisp suit.

Before he came out, he went to wash his face, and there was no sign of his previous decadence.

"Hello, President Ono, I am Lu Tianxiong from Silver Fir Capital."

Lu Tianxiong walked over and shook hands with Ono Yosuke.

"Lao Lu, you go talk to President Ono, I'll just walk around the company."

Jiang Hua has no interest in boring business negotiations, he only needs to know the results.

Although Ono Yosuke couldn't understand what Jiang Hua was saying, he could still understand his gestures and movements. He arranged for a secretary to receive the young man who appeared with Lu Tianxiong.

"Mr. Lu, I wonder who that person was just now?"

Yosuke Ono asked as he looked at the young man with a familiar face strolling around his company with his hands behind his back.

"He is the boss behind Silver Fir Capital. I am fully responsible for this business negotiation. Should we go to the conference room or your office?"

Lu Tianxiong did not introduce much about Jiang Hua.

When Yosuke Ono heard that the young man was the real big boss, he immediately changed his attitude and loudly ordered his secretary to entertain this distinguished guest.

Jiang Hua ignored the two people who were negotiating. He stood under a poster of "Street Fighter" with great interest, looking up at the poster posted on the wall.

"Sir, would you like coffee or tea?"

The female secretary in a professional skirt bowed slightly and asked in a respectful tone.

"Well, okay."

Jiang Hua couldn't understand what the girl was talking about and nodded vaguely.

The female secretary's face was full of embarrassment. She couldn't understand what Jiang Hua was talking about. She didn't understand whether this gentleman wanted to drink coffee or tea.

"Hello, she was asking you just now, do you want to drink coffee or tea?"

A young man wearing glasses stood up and helped translate.

"Who are you?"

Jiang Hua looked at the young man with doubtful eyes.

"My name is Lin Fanzhong. I am an overseas student. I work as a part-time game artist in this company. The poster you just saw was drawn by me."

Lin Fanzhong introduced himself somewhat shyly.

Jiang Hua did not expect to meet another working international student here. He asked curiously: "Are there many international students over there? Why do all the international students I meet work part-time outside?"

"Because we are poor, the consumption here is too high. If we don't work part-time, even wealthy families will have a hard time affording the living expenses here."

Lin Fanzhong smiled sheepishly.

Jiang Hua looked at Lin Fanzhong, who was only a few years younger than him, and felt a little heavy. In this era, the economic gap between the two countries was indeed very large.

"Which university are you from? Do you know Tian Hongying?"

An idea suddenly came to Jiang Hua's mind.

"I'm from Waseda University. I met Tian Hongying once at a hometown reunion, but I didn't know her well."

Lin Fanzhong scratched his head, wondering why Jiang Hua asked this.

"As far as you know, how many international students like you and Tian Hongying are working part-time?"

Jiang Hua continued to ask.

"Not too many, maybe about ten. Of course, these are just the ones I know and know."

Lin Fanzhong couldn't understand, and the other party asked what he was doing.

As far as the compatriots he knew were concerned, they were basically working part-time. These days, the majority of students studying abroad were government-sponsored students. Although they did not have to bear tuition fees, they had to take care of their own living expenses.

"It's like this. I want to set up a student aid foundation to mainly help you, international students abroad, solve the problem of living expenses."

Jiang Hua pondered for a moment and said.

"Really? That's great. The students will definitely be grateful to you if they know about it."

Lin Fanzhong looked excited.

"But I have a condition. As long as international students receive funding from the foundation, they must return to China for development after graduation."

Jiang Hua knows that in this year and age, the return rate of publicly funded overseas students is a very embarrassing figure.

There was nothing he could do about this situation. He could only try his best to make some small improvements.

"Sir, I understand what you mean. You are a very sentimental entrepreneur."

Lin Fanzhong is also an international student. Of course he knows that some seniors and seniors directly stay in large local companies after completing their studies. Some even bring their families over, or even change their nationality.

"You have to remember one thing, lagging behind is only temporary. One day, we will catch up. Look at it now. The little company is short of money. Why don't they wait for us to help them?"

Jiang Hua patted Lin Fanzhong on the shoulder and said in an encouraging tone.

"Sir, are you a Chinese businessman here?"

Lin Fanzhong was very curious about Jiang Hua's identity.

He has only heard that foreign capital invests in China and mainlanders come to invest abroad. He has never encountered this.

"No, I don't plan to start a business here. I just came here to make money. In a few days, I should go back."
