Natsume Haruko also came and reported on the work of Natsume Network.
In fact, Boss Jia already knew a lot about the specific content when he went to Fusang. Natsume Network made a total of two billion USD in 1996, and the net profit was as high as 1.4 billion USD. Although it was not much compared to the current Daqian, for Natsume Haruko who originally wanted to be a volleyball player, it was already the highest achievement in her life.
And for the entire internet industry in Japan, it was even more awesome to the extreme.
"Boss, there's something that I can't handle anymore!" Natsume Haruko suddenly said.
"What's the matter?" Boss Jia asked.
"Fusang's National Telephone and Telegraph Company may cancel our authorization in the year after next!" Natsume Haruko said worriedly.
"Fusang's consortiums are starting to put pressure on you!" Boss Jia pondered for a while and basically guessed the whole story. It must be because Natsume Network had shown amazing potential this year, and the international network concept stocks were skyrocketing. This made Fusang's traditional consortiums want to get a share of the profits.
"That's right. Fuji and Sumitomo of the four consortiums have already contacted me. They hope to buy 70% of our company's shares, but guarantee that I have control of the company. They are only investing!" Natsume Haruko said.
"If you don't agree, they will threaten to take back the authorization given to you by Fusang's National Telephone and Telegraph Company, right?" Boss Jia narrowed his eyes and asked.
"Although they didn't say it explicitly, I think that's what they meant. When they left, they specifically asked me if our contract with Fusang's National Telephone and Telegraph Company was signed until the end of 1998."
"I asked my father. Although Fusang's National Telephone and Telegraph Company is a state-owned enterprise, it is actually controlled by Fuji and Sumitomo!" Natsume Haruko said.
"Then did your father tell you how to deal with this matter?" Boss Jia asked again.
"He said that a powerful dragon cannot defeat a snake in its old haunts …" Natsume Haruko said helplessly. It seemed that the matter was very obvious. Someone saw that the fruit was ripe and wanted to pick the peach.
"Then what do you think?" Boss Jia asked calmly.
"Is my idea useful?" Natsume Haruko glanced at Boss Jia.
"Of course!" Boss Jia nodded. "To be honest, this company is yours and will belong to Jia Changqing in the future. You can do whatever you want with it. I have no objections!"
Boss Jia was telling the truth. Although the two consortiums' methods were a little despicable, it was not a bad thing. As long as the company gave the company shares, Xiamu Network would have a backer in Fusang. In the future, they would not have to worry about other problems. They could rely on the big tree behind them to develop quickly and grow much faster. Therefore, Boss Jia did not refuse.
"If I don't agree, do you have a way to deal with it?" Natsume Haruko hesitated for a moment before asking cautiously.
"Of course!" Boss Jia nodded.
"What is it?"
"It's simple. Just throw in money!" Boss Jia smiled. "Since we're not allowed to use the phone network, we can only lay the lines ourselves. So as long as we're willing to spend money, this matter can be solved easily!"
"We'll lay the lines ourselves!" Natsume Haruko felt like she was struck by lightning. She had to lay the entire Fusang with network lines. How much investment would that require? It would cost at least tens of billions of US dollars!
In fact, Fusang spent a total of more than 30 billion US dollars to lay the network lines. However, this was only the main lines that covered the urban areas. Until now, the mountainous areas of Fusang still did not have any network lines.
Why? Of course, it was because it was not worth it. Private capital was not stupid. The monthly network service fee collected from a few farmers was not enough to make up for the construction cost, let alone the cost of the construction. Even the cost of the maintenance of the network could not make up for it.
Did you think that these companies were Hua Xia state-owned enterprises that did not care about costs?
Therefore, in Fusang's rural areas, unless it was a tourist area, there was absolutely no network.
"Oh right, and we have to start it now. By the end of 1998, we must be able to replace the current network coverage. Otherwise, we will be attacked to death by the netizens!" Boss Jia smiled and said, "How about it? Do you have the confidence to do this?"
"Are you going to invest in me?" Natsume Haruko looked at Boss Jia eagerly.
"That's impossible. This is an investment of at least 20 billion US dollars. Unless I give you all of the Daqian's profits for two years, where would I get so much US dollars?" Boss Jia shrugged his shoulders.
"However, the Daqian can provide cheap broadband. I guarantee that it will be the fastest broadband line in the world!" Boss Jia squinted his eyes and said.
The Daqian would definitely not pay. Wouldn't that mean that Boss Jia was using Hua Xia's money to build infrastructure for the Fusangpeople? Moreover, it was infrastructure for broadband. That was impossible.
Besides, the future of Xiamu Network belonged to Jia Changqing. Jia Changqing's birth meant that she was destined to be a child of Fusang. Boss Jia would never use Hua Xia's money to subsidize this seed.
Besides, their Xiamu family's God of Six Harmonies, as the Shinto power of Fusang, should be able to fork out a few billion US dollars. This was clearly their family's business in the future. How could they let Boss Jia fork out the money himself?
"Then according to what you said, I can only admit defeat and surrender?" Natsume Haruko asked, unwilling to give up.
"That's not necessarily the case!" Boss Jia licked his lips and said, "You can get Xiamu Company to take a loan or even issue bonds to borrow money for this!"
"If that doesn't work, you can just get listed. I think if Xiamu is listed, the stock price should be quite good!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"But I'm afraid these can't solve the problem of 20 billion US dollars!" Natsume Haruko rolled her eyes.
"If I say there's a way, there's naturally a way!" Boss Jia smiled slightly. "Alright, you just need to make up your mind. I'll handle the rest. When I come back from the United States, I'll immediately get to work on your matter!"
"Okay!" Natsume Haruko nodded and left in satisfaction.
After Natsume Haruko left, the representative from Yuangu Company came. This was the first time Yuangu Company's representative came because their previous performance was reported by the Daqian of Fusang.
However, Yuangu Company came this year because Yuangu Company's Ultraman trilogy officially finished broadcasting this year. The trilogy created an unimaginable craze in viewership. Just in Fusang alone, a total of 4.5 million VCD players were sold.
At the same time, Ultraman crazily licensed all kinds of toys. Just the voice changer used in the trilogy alone sold 6 million units in Fusang. One should know that the price of a voice changer was 4,000 yen. It was so expensive that it would scare you to death.
That was not all. Round Valley and Da Qian Yi Zhi had jointly launched the Ultraman Base series of toys. They packaged all the characters in Ultraman Tiga, the highly realistic models of the base, and even the models of all the combat aircraft and vehicles. There were more than 60 plastic monsters that had already appeared in Ultraman Tiga. They were all packaged together to create a super big Ultraman gift pack, and the price was as high as 500,000 yen per set.
In the end, this kind of product that was obviously a tax on intelligence had sold more than 4,000 units in Fusang. Yuangu was making a lot of money.
More importantly, with the gradual promotion of VCD players, Yuangu's Ultraman craze began to spread all over the world. The Ultraman craze in every region of the world was gradually revived.
In the overseas regions, Ultraman had sold a total of 3 million VCD players. At the same time, Yuangu had made a lot of money. That was why he came alone this year to show off his achievements. At the same time, he also asked Boss Jia about the next step of Ultraman's plan.
Boss Jia had given Yuangu Company the outline of three Ultraman movies. Now that all three Ultraman movies had been completed, Yuangu did not know what to do next.
