This firm and principled boss was completely dumbfounded.
Not to mention how he was going to move the huge Animation City away in just one night, once the Animation City was moved away, it would be very difficult for him to find another suitable place in Shanghai.
Even if he found one, the customers and users who were already used to the environment here would probably leave, and his business would almost be finished.
Most importantly, he had feelings for this place, and he didn't want to leave.
"Young man, I'll give you two choices. Either you obediently give me the special membership card, or I'll call the security guard to send you away!" Boss Jia said faintly, "Don't worry, I'll give you the full amount of liquidated damages. I've never done anything illegal, so we'll follow the rules!"
"I understand!" The boss could only obediently open his drawer and give the special membership card to Boss Jia.
It seemed that at this critical moment, principles and rules were not as important as survival.
"I'm sorry, I actually just wanted to take a look at this auction. After today, I probably won't use this membership card. You just have to bear with it for one day!" After Boss Jia finished speaking, he left the boss's office, leaving the boss with a stiff and confused face. Then, he went upstairs and met Xiao Guo and the others.
"I think this is fake! The president is such a principled person, how could he give a membership card to a person like you? "The greasy young man insisted, and then called out in surprise," President, you're here, quickly expose the true face of this swindler! "
The president, who originally just wanted to sneak away from these people, had no choice but to be stopped by the greasy young man. He looked at these people with embarrassment, and finally said helplessly, "He's not a swindler, this card was given to him by me, and he is indeed our member!"
After saying that, the president left as if he was running away. At this time, the auction time was up, and everyone entered the large activity room to participate in this auction.
Boss Jia was naturally no exception. He walked in first, and then curiously looked around the room.
Hmm, the decorations in the room were very … hmm, two-dimensional.
Soon, the auction began. Xiao Guo was right. There were indeed many interesting things being auctioned here, such as rare merchandise, rare figurines, a full set of Japanese comics, and even a full set of Youngermen Jump magazines from the 70's to the 00's. There were really all kinds of strange things to see.
What surprised Boss Jia the most was that he actually saw a drawing. It was an original art of the King Carp in Pokemon. According to the auctioneer, this was the real original art of the King Carp in Pokemon. It was personally drawn by Tajiri Tomo and was worth as much as 30 million yen in Japan. Now, it was only sold for 200,000 yuan. It was a profit if he could buy it!
"Wow, I love the Carp King the most!" Xiao Guo exclaimed as she looked at the original art of the Carp King.
"This is fake. The original art of the King Carp is not this one!" Boss Jia said angrily.
"That's impossible. The host just said that this is definitely the original art of the King Carp. Moreover, there was a video of Tajiri Tomo himself. How can it be fake?!" Xiao Guo rolled her eyes.
The host played a live video of the scene. The person who recorded the video was Tajiri Tomo, the father of Pokemon. He personally took the original art to the camera and confirmed that it was his work. As proof of this work being collected, the original art even had Tajiri Tomo's personal seal on it. No matter how one looked at it, it couldn't be fake.
"It's because Tajiri Tomo showed up that the original art is fake!" Boss Jia said angrily. "Because the original art and design of the King Carp are not even his. How dare he say that it's his own words!"
"What a joke. The King Carp was not designed by the father of Pokemon. Who else could it be? You?" The greasy young man immediately mocked.
"You're right. The King Carp was designed and drawn by me personally!" Boss Jia said righteously. He suddenly forgot that the King Carp was copied by Boss Jia himself.
Of course, in this world, our Boss Jia was definitely the original.
"Tsk!" Everyone ignored him. Boss Jia did not want to reveal his identity at the moment. In the end, he could only watch as someone spent 250,000 RMB to buy the original art of the King Carp.
"Is this Tajiri Masashi already in this position?" Boss Jia muttered angrily. But then again, Tajiri Masashi was really in a miserable state now.
Initially, Tajiri Tomo had joined Nintendo and received a large amount of investment and resources from Nintendo. He wanted to create a new game that could replace Pokemon.
However, after the game was released, the response was mediocre.
There were no explosive effects, nor were there any negative comments. It was mediocre, so mediocre that no one was willing to comment on it. In the end, the sales did not even reach 200,000 copies.
Although Tajiri Tomo worked hard to release the second installment, the second installment was even worse. It did not even sell 50,000 copies.
Of course, one of the reasons for this was because the Nintendo platform was on the decline. More importantly, many players said that this new game was very mediocre. Although it didn't make any mistakes, there was nothing that could be called a highlight. Compared to Pokemon, it wasn't that bad. However, as long as it couldn't surpass Pokemon, it couldn't take away Pokemon players' hearts.
After the second installment, Nintendo had completely given up on Tajiri Tomo's halo. Not to mention, they later found out through some channels that more than half of the design of Pokemon was done by Boss Jia. However, Boss Jia had never publicized his contributions to Pokemon. In the end, the title of the father of Pokemon was given to Tajiri Tomo. This made Nintendo very speechless.
Takashi Tajiri's failure was actually very meaningful because it caused Nintendo to lose a lot of money. At the same time, it also caused Nintendo to completely lose the expectations of Pokemon fans. As for Takashi Tajiri, he was completely ignored by Nintendo … Boss Jia did not even use the non-competition contract from back then, and Takashi Tajiri was already marginalized by Nintendo.
Later, when Boss Jia bought Nintendo, he could not find Tajiri Tomo's name list. It was said that Tajiri Tomo had started his second business.
At that time, Boss Jia was very much looking forward to Tajiri Tomo's new game. However, Boss Jia, who controlled the entire gaming industry, did not release Tajiri Tomo's new game.
However, Boss Jia did not care about Tajiri Tomo at that time. He was too lazy to care about him. He did not expect Tajiri Tomo to fall to the point of relying on fake Pokemon original art to survive.
In fact, all the works that claimed to be Pokemon original art in this world were fake. This was because all the original art of Pokemon were stored in the Rocket team's database. It was estimated that they would be stored there forever. Tajiri Tomo could not take away any of the original art from back then.
