Work again.
After a nice break last night and this morning, Nifuji entered his CEO mode and started to analyze all the data on the toy department. He might not have expected that he would become the leader of this department, but as he was chosen, of course, he would do the work, even if he had to admit that he never thought to improve it.
Like any of his predecessors, he only thought of maintaining stability.
As for venturing into the game industry?
Don't be kidding!
No one had any experience in the game, and if the game industry was so easy to enter, then why wasn't there much of a game billionaire?!
Also, if one could become rich so easily, why were so many poor people around, right?
So, instead of trying to do anything dangerous, he just read various data and let the department do the same as usual until he discovered how to make the cost of everything cheaper.
Yup, instead of trying to increase the profit, he thought of reducing the cost, as it was just the fastest way to make money.
"Moving the factory, huh?"
"Well, it is perfectly normal, right?"
"That's true."
Many companies moved their factories to China or Taiwan, as they were much cheaper than the cost of having the factories in the United States.
"But, it costs money to set up a factory."
Nifuji couldn't deny those words.
Yes, if the toy that was told by their company had high sales, it didn't matter, but it was just so-so. At best, it was just slightly above average.
"...shouldn't we make a new product?"
"If a new product can be made so easily, then will this department be like this?"
"....." Everyone.
As everyone was about to argue, Nifuji said, "Okay, but first, let's cut off the leech first, especially those useless ones, but keep the useful ones."
In business, it was impossible for one not to spend money on those bureaucrats or politicians, especially those who still had an influence.
As for those who had no influence, Nifuji didn't care and just cut them off, as they were all expenses.
Some wanted to say something, but when they thought of those who had been told to resign by themselves, without even a proper compensation, they gave a sigh and were quiet, as Nifuji's method was cruel.
Nifuji's previous background was in law, but instead of pursuing a legal career, he chose to work in employment, which was easier, he thought.
After all, a legal career was tough, especially when it required a long time to train.
Then again, it had the possibility of a lot of income, but as he had the system, it was all fine, he thought.
Yet, this also made him wonder whether he should pursue a higher education, as it wouldn't be bad to enrich his knowledge by entering the university to get his master's degree.
Nifuji had a lot of money, and he also tried to limit his working hours, especially when he became the boss.
If he was still working like a cattle, what was the point of becoming the boss?
He had the employees, so he should make them work!
"The second is the system."
"System?"
"Yes." Nifuji looked at the data and said, "I think that we can cut the cost if we use a better system for managing the business." He had been thinking that the system of the company in this country was arduous and also troublesome. If they could cut off all the unnecessary processes and costs, he felt that they could increase their profit. "I know that some of you might not be able to accept it, so let's just do it slowly. Let's see the progress first. If we can show a result, then continue, but if we can't, then stop."
"..." Everyone.
By then, no one could say anything, and all of them quickly did what they were told.
Nifuji knew that the weakness of the company in this country was that no one would dare to take the lead. Every decision took a long time to make, and frankly, he didn't blame them, especially when all the failures in the 1990s made all the people in this country become careful with every one of their steps, since no one wanted to end up in failure.
Yet, he knew well that if he did nothing, this department would end sooner or later.
At this moment, they were like a frog that was boiled in warm water. It was a slow death as they were used to the pain till they realized that they had died.
Nifuji knew that he didn't really have much of a responsibility even if such a case happened, as it was all accumulated, and frankly, he also didn't really care much about the profit of this department, as he would just stay in this place for a moment, but he wanted to make his work easier!
Yes, by making the system better, he could be lazier!
All the work that he had was troublesome, and instead of wasting his time, he might as well cut off all the unnecessary parts, so he could spend his time freely.
Still, he knew well that if there was a reason why nothing had changed, it was because no one wanted to take the responsibility.
To make a choice, decision, and everything, the majority would overthink whether they had chosen wrong, which was why everyone would not make any choices and didn't do anything until they were forced to.
Nifuji didn't like being forced to, nor did he want to be urged, so instead of waiting for such a time to happen when he had to make a troublesome or even a painful choice, he would take the initiative to do something that no one had ever thought of.
Also, he was just lazy, so if possible, he just wanted to work for four hours three days a week, so because of that, he tried to improve the system, which made him have no need to work in the office.
Yet, no one thought that he was thinking like that, and they just thought that he was genuinely trying to improve the company.
'By then, I can be lazy around~!'
As he thought of his great future while also looking at the website of a university in Japan, to see how much time he would take if he wanted to take the postgraduate, and just to do his hobbies like a certain billionaire in Japan, who went to space because he wanted to, all of a sudden, the door of his office was knocked.
"Enter."
"Shaco (President), I have brought you your secretary."
"Secretary?"
Nifuji looked at the man, whom the chairman had tasked to help him. Unexpectedly, this guy would bring him a secretary, yet when he saw his new secretary—
"Nice to meet you. I am Koyanagi Hanako. Your secretary, Sir."
As Koyanagi bowed her head to show her submission, she introduced herself, yet unlike the other guy, who didn't realize anything, Nifuji knew that this woman had made a dirty plan in her mind.
"....." Nifuji.
