"President, Jack Orlens has already submitted his resignation letter!" In the vice president's office, a secretary whispered.
"Is that so?" The vice president's expression suddenly became happy. He didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain this time.
Boss Jia didn't know that the reason why Hasbro offered such a low price and conditions this time was not only because of their arrogance, but also because of Jack Orlens and his father, Henry Orlens.
Henry Olens was originally an outstanding employee of Hasbro. After he developed the Transformers series and became the president of the Asia-Pacific region, he had a strong competitive relationship with the vice president because both of them were eyeing the position of the company's vice president covetously.
The two of them had a lot of fierce private battles, but Henry Orlens wasn't defeated by his opponent. Instead, he was defeated by Hua Xia. Because of the serious failure of the investment in Hua Xia, Henry Orlens finally resigned. Not only did he lose the position of the vice president, but he also fell from the position of the president of the Asia-Pacific region. Then, his position was fixed in the position of the business commissioner of Hua Xia.
Although he was the president of Hua Xia in name, Hasbro had basically completely given up the business in Hua Xia. Henry Orlens was equivalent to being exiled.
Originally, it was reasonable to say that Henry Orlens, who had been defeated, would no longer be the vice president's opponent. However, the vice president saw Henry Orlens's ambitious son, Jack Orlens.
At the same time, the vice president also knew that Jack Orlens was a great talent. If he really let Jack Orlens take over, it might cause him a lot of trouble in the future.
In fact, Jack Olens had intended to do so. When Jack Olens had reported the Pokemon plan to the head office, the Vice President had felt a serious sense of danger.
He was not a fool. He had been working in the toy industry for decades. It was impossible for him not to see the huge potential of Pokemon. However, this IP had been discovered by Jack Orlens first and sent directly to the company's top management. He could not stop it.
If this Pokemon really became successful and made a lot of money, then the credit would definitely belong to Jack Orrance. Maybe he would be like his father when he discovered the Transformers. Because of the credit of the Pokemon, he would once again challenge the position of Vice President or even President. If that was the case, then wouldn't he be in danger?
Therefore, the vice president decided to nip the risk in the bud. He pretended to be very enthusiastic and took the initiative to accept this task. He then directly changed the acquisition price from 100 million US dollars proposed by Jack Olens to 5 million US dollars.
This was because the vice president knew that the other party would never agree to this price, so the negotiation could only fail.
As for whether changing the price without authorization would cause the anger of the senior management, he was not worried because he did not harm the company's interests. Instead, he was trying to save the company's expenses as much as possible.
If he could really pass down the copyright that was worth 100 million US dollars for only 5 million US dollars, then he would really have made a great contribution to the company. As for the failure of the negotiation, it was also because the other party was too greedy. It had nothing to do with him. He was doing it out of a sense of fairness and for the sake of the company's interests. No one would blame him.
Everything went very smoothly. The other party was indeed angered by him and left. Jack Orrance's plan was ruined. He would not be able to get up in a short period of time. He could also excitedly watch the son of his enemy being depressed in the company. It was simply wonderful.
As for whether Pokemon would fall into the hands of other companies and become a new hot topic, the vice president did not care.
Anyway, the company was not owned by him. He only received a fixed salary and bonus from the company every month. The company's interests had nothing to do with him. He only needed to firmly hold the position of vice president and make a move on the position of president in the future. That was enough.
Therefore, even though he knew how important Pokemon was to Hasbro, the vice president still drove Boss Jia away.
"Sir, before Jack Orlens resigned, he had been chatting with Jia Yapeng. And they were chatting happily. I'm afraid …"
"Maybe he wants to jump ship and work for Mr. Jia!" The vice president shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let him be. Without Hasbro, he is nothing."

When Boss Jia came out of Hasbro, the sky was almost dark. It was impossible for Boss Jia to fly back to New York at this time, so he stayed in a hotel in Rhode Island for the night.
However, Boss Jia did not expect Jack Orlens, who had just left in the afternoon, to come looking for him at this time.
"Boss, there is actually something I haven't told you!" Jack Orlens said with a smile.
"What?"
"In fact, in addition to the plush toys, I have designed a brand-new toy for Pokemon!" Jack Orlens said with some excitement. "This is definitely an unprecedented toy. Once it is launched into the market, it will have an unprecedented impact!"
"Really? Tell me about it. " Boss Jia said with a smile. At first, he thought that Jack Orlens was just a fantasy. He did not think that the new toy he came up with would have a bright future.
However, when Jack Orlens said more and more, Boss Jia's expression became more and more serious. This was because Jack Orlens had actually created a toy with a bright future.
"Boss, in fact, this is a creative idea I found when I was doing a survey on the children!" Jack Orlens said excitedly. "Because I have some connections in the school, I sent a survey to more than 2,000 children. In this survey, in addition to some detailed questions, there is also a question for the children to freely express themselves."
"That is, what is your best fantasy for a Pokemon toy?"
"And the biggest fantasy is that the children hope to have a Pokemon that can accompany them in reality. Not just a simple toy, but a toy that is like a real Pokemon. It can move, jump, talk, and accompany them!" Jack Orlens said.
"Is that possible?" Boss Jia smiled because he knew that even if another 30 years passed, such a toy would not be born.
"Of course, that is impossible. Of course, we can't make a living Pokemon that can accompany us. But we can make a Pokemon that lives in the electronic world!" Jack Orlens said loudly.
"A Pokemon that lives in the electronic world?" Boss Jia was stunned when he heard that. Then, he whispered, "Are you thinking of making Digimon …"
But with such a whisper, Boss Jia instantly understood. That's right, how could he forget about Digimon, which was once as famous as Pokemon?
"Wait, are you thinking of making a small electronic device with an electronic screen that can be placed in the palm of your hand? Then, we can place a Pokemon into this small electronic device. This Pokemon that lives in this small electronic device will be able to speak to the player. At the same time, it will also be able to interact with the player. This will allow the player to personally experience the feeling of living with an electronic Pokemon! "Boss Jia blurted out in one breath.
"Boss! How did you know what I was thinking? " Jack Orlens widened his eyes and looked at Boss Jia in surprise. He didn't understand why Boss Jia had only used a few minutes to come up with a creative toy that he had thought about for five days and five nights. He had obviously thought about it for five days and five nights.
Although he had mentioned it to Boss Jia, there were more details that Jack Orlens did not mention at all. These were all thought of by Boss Jia in a few minutes!
"Nonsense. Otherwise, why would I be the one to create the Pokemon and not you?" Boss Jia didn't even blush as he took all the credit for the creation of the Pokemon.
At this moment, Jack Orlens was full of admiration for Boss Jia. Sure enough, ordinary people could not be compared to geniuses. Boss Jia was a genius among geniuses in the game and toy industry. There was no comparison!
At this moment, Jack Orlens was sincerely convinced by Boss Jia.
