Chapter 48 - Talent demand

Now Takayuki has enough money on hand. 

Some of it will go to pay various expenses spent before.

Part of the subscription fee, as well as advertising costs and so on.

The rest can be directly used to spend on the promotion of the game console.

And this time, the promotion can be intensified.

It's like Takayuki originally brought game consoles and TVs to the park.

But it's no longer limited to the Tokyo area.

This time it will be expanded to areas outside Tokyo.

This requires enough ground promotion personnel to do this.

This kind of work is called ground promotion in the future network, which is still quite an important link, but it doesn't seem to be particularly popular now.

Or even if it's popular, there aren't many people who apply it to promote certain things on a large scale.

After listening to Takayuki's introduction, Daishi Ota simply understood everything.

"Takayuki, do you mean you want to spend all of it on this so-called ground promotion?"

"Not all, but indeed a lot of money will be spent."

Daishi Ota felt a little heartbroken, even though Takayuki's share didn't belong to him.

The sudden influx of several billion in income was enough to drive people crazy.

But he also realized that relying solely on Tokyo, there might only be this many people buying game consoles in a short time.

It is indeed highly likely that the income of the second week will decrease significantly, as Takayuki said, people who buy game consoles may decrease substantially.

On Takayuki's side, just the total cost of outsourcing the circuit board production has reached over 600 million, and various other miscellaneous costs such as outsourcing packaging production, game cartridge production, etc., added up to another one or two billion, and then there are tens of millions of advertising fees purchased by Takayuki.

It's still too early to be happy now, all the money earned is not enough to repay various order costs.

"Daishi, do you have any channels to quickly organize manpower for ground promotion? Money is definitely enough to manage, of course, the most important thing is to be obedient enough, don't mess around."

Takayuki deliberately emphasized his words.

"We have manpower, and definitely enough. I know quite a few young guys, they are a group of young people who usually have nothing to do and just run around. If they can find a decent job, it's also a good thing."

Takayuki nodded, then added, "Remember, I only need employment relationships. I don't really want to get involved with certain groups of people and get tangled up."

Daishi Ota used to be among the crowd who walked on the edge of the law.

The young guys he just mentioned are basically known to be Yakuza members with just a little thought.

Japan is the only country in the world where the Yakuza are legalized, which is quite bizarre.

But with the development of modernization, it seems that Japan's Yakuza is gradually being eliminated.

This is an inevitable trend.

Although they may seem glamorous now, they are actually gradually aging.

He still remembers a news report from his previous life.

Because the Yakuza in Japan lacks fresh blood, seventy-year-old men come out and stab others with knives, which is quite magical.

But no matter what, there are still some young people in this group at this time.

Some of the employees in Daishi Ota's entertainment hall used to be Yakuza members, but they should be considered to have turned back in time to avoid disaster.

Daishi Ota can easily contact such young people, who usually don't do well after joining the Yakuza, earning very little money.

Nowadays, young Yakuza are more likely to consider it as a job. If there is an easier way to make money, they should be willing to abandon their Yakuza identity without hesitation.

If this matter can help them embark on the right path, Daishi Ota is willing to do something.

However, as Takayuki said, he won't touch any of this, doesn't want to get involved, just purely employment, and don't mess things up. If things mess up, Takayuki will still ruthlessly abandon Daishi Ota.

When Daishi Ota sent the somewhat drunk Takayuki home earlier, he saw Takayuki's home and the luxurious furnishings inside. He knew that this was definitely the child of a wealthy person or a person of status, and it was better not to provoke easily.

"I'll contact them now. I'll take care of the ground promotion. It just so happens that I have plenty of game consoles and TVs here."

"Good."

After hanging up the phone with Daishi Ota, Takayuki pondered.

He planned to continue making games.

"But, before that, I need to find some company management talents."

This shouldn't be difficult. If it were during the craziest bubble era, it would probably be quite difficult to find suitable management talents because at that time, talents were almost monopolized by major companies, and they didn't even look at newly emerging small companies.

But now, as soon as he mentioned the salary, there would probably be a large number of people flocking to him.

As for finding management talents, Takayuki already had a plan in mind.

Just go to a specialized headhunting company to find them.

He's not going to skimp on this point.

Takayuki is better at making games, and most of his energy will probably be devoted to making games. If there aren't one or two people to assist in other aspects, he will have a headache.

So he might as well find someone a bit more expensive, which will save him trouble.

Of course, this "expensive" is also viewed from the perspective of the current burst of the bubble era.

To be honest, before coming here, Takayuki didn't even know that Japan would have headhunting companies.

Because in his impression, Japan often signs long-term employment contracts with employees, and generally an employee would stay in a company until retirement, making it difficult to find talented people willing to change jobs.

But after coming here, he realized how terrifying the bursting of the bubble was.

In the 1990s, Japan was getting worse year by year. On average, dozens of companies in Tokyo closed every day.

In this wave of bankruptcies, large companies have not had time to absorb the outstanding talents from these bankrupt companies, causing them to flow out into the market.

Moreover, large companies nowadays dare not recruit more people, fearing that they will also be dragged down.

There are also some outstanding talents who have accumulated huge debts before, making it difficult for them to turn over.

They are even more in need of a stable job, longing for it immensely.

Takayuki arrived at the door of a well-known headhunting company in Tokyo.

As soon as he entered the gate, a charming woman came up warmly.

"Hello, welcome to PASOYA. Do you have any talent needs?"

Takayuki nodded, "I need one to two sufficiently outstanding executive assistants. Here's my business card."

The woman's eyes lit up when she heard Takayuki's needs. She respectfully took Takayuki's business card and said at the same time, "Okay, please wait a moment. Our manager will meet with you specifically."

In recent years, there have been fewer and fewer companies seeking executive assistant-level talents. This is a rare big client these days, and it is very likely that they will need two. This must be taken seriously!
