Aiden was personally promoted by Hayakawa Ueno, and now he was the absolute controller of Su Rui Electronics' North Arican division and also the global vice president of Su Rui Electronics, with significant power.
Of course, if Aiden didn't have the capability, Hayakawa Ueno would never have trusted him so much.
The growth of Su Rui Electronics' video ga departnt could largely be attributed to Hayakawa Ueno's efforts, but Aiden was the second most influential figure in this success.
He actively expanded the North Arican and European markets, grabbing a certain market share and loyal followers before Gastar Electronic Entertainnt entered these markets.
Although after Gastar Electronic Entertainnt's entry, a significant portion of the market share was inevitably lost, the foundation had already been solidified, so they were still able to put up a decent fight.
Moreover, Aiden was a very patient person. He had been waiting for Gastar Electronic Entertainnt to make mistakes.
It's common for a company to make mistakes, and he was focused on maintaining his own company's video ga business while waiting for Gastar Electronic Entertainnt to slip up.
For example, he was hoping for their gaming consoles to have a large-scale quality issue, or for so of their decisions to be t with player backlash.
...
...
Unfortunately, he never got the opportunity.
Gastar Electronic Entertainnt was always careful with every step they took.
Matsuhashi, as the business director of the entire company, might not fully understand the potential pitfalls of the gaming business, but Takayuki certainly did.
In the previous world, issues like the Red Ring of Death with Xbox, the backlash from high pricing, or the passive responses to player dissatisfaction were massive problems.
If Takayuki weren't a ti traveler, these issues would have been unavoidable.
Every ti Aiden thought of this, he found it hard to believe.
A company that rose from the video ga industry never got carried away.
Logically, the young Takayuki from before would have beco increasingly arrogant as his business expanded, but he didn't, and that's why Aiden held him in high regard.
On the other hand, he looked down on the executives who were currently arguing.
They didn't truly think about the overall benefit of the company. They were only thinking about their own positions and interests.
When the video ga departnt was small, so of the managers wouldn't even dare to speak up in front of the other departnts.
Now that they had gained so power, their arrogance was starting to show. Back when they were profitable, this arrogance wasn't an issue, but now that things were going wrong, they didn't want to solve the problems; they just wanted to maintain the status quo.
He looked down on those who only cared about their own interests.
If employees wanted better salaries, it was understandable.
But as senior executives, they were part of the company, and the overall well-being of the company was directly tied to them, yet they lacked the awareness of that. Their vision was too short-sighted.
Hayakawa Ueno had been silent for more than half an hour, just listening to the argunts.
When the argunts started to quiet down, as if taking a break to have so water, Hayakawa Ueno finally spoke.
"Tired?"
All the senior executives and shareholders imdiately looked at Hayakawa Ueno.
So of them had a flicker of light in their eyes.
In fact, not all of them were truly arguing; so were actually trying to get Hayakawa Ueno to speak.
He was the one with the absolute decision-making power in the company, and he was the one who could determine the future direction.
What the others said was irrelevant.
"Since you're all tired, I'll directly announce the next steps."
Everyone straightened up, and even those who were about to sip their water quickly put their cups down and listened attentively.
Aiden looked at Hayakawa Ueno, thinking that this guy, as always, had already had his decision made but was just waiting for the right mont to speak.
"The video ga business is still our second-largest departnt, after the hardware electronics departnt, and this won't change because the profit from the video ga industry is indeed huge. However..."
Hayakawa Ueno paused: "However, our earlier judgnt of the gaming industry might have been wrong. When we look back, why has Gastar Electronic Entertainnt stopped focusing on the handheld business in recent years? Why haven't they released major gas for handheld consoles for a year or two now? There's a clear reason behind all of this."
Aiden's expression subtly changed.
Huh?
Why didn't I think of that before?
Hayakawa Ueno was right.
It seems Gastar Electronic Entertainnt stopped focusing on handheld consoles a year or two ago.
At that ti, Su Rui Electronics had judged that the ho console business was very profitable, while the handheld console business had weaker profit margins.
It made sense not to focus on the handheld market while they dominated the ho console market.
But now, looking back, it doesn't seem that simple.
Gastar Electronic Entertainnt is fully capable of operating in multiple areas. Takayuki, their president, is a bug-level figure in the video ga industry.
He alone is almost single-handedly holding up half of the video ga industry.
With him in charge, managing both the handheld and ho console businesses would be easy.
Even if the handheld business made less profit, since they could still do it, there was no reason to ignore it.
So there must be one reason.
This bug-level person must have recognized that the handheld business was gradually shrinking.
This guy is sharp, faster than anyone!
Aiden's pupils constricted.
This Takayuki...
Hayakawa Ueno didn't notice Aiden's reaction and continued with his decision.
"The video ga departnt will undergo personnel adjustnts. Eighty percent of the staff that were previously working on handheld ga and console developnt will now be reassigned to ho console developnt. We need to quickly adjust our tactics and return to the ho console market."
Hayakawa Ueno realized he had been careless.
He had originally thought that Takayuki had lost interest in the handheld business.
But Su Rui Electronics desperately needed a market growth point, and handhelds had beco the focus for him.
Unfortunately, his judgnt was wrong.
At the sa ti, he admired Takayuki even more.
Takayuki's market vision was always so sharp.
He had no experience in market managent, so how could he have developed such a sharp eye?
Could it all just be attributed to natural talent?
