Chapter 321 Chicken Game (3)
Arcadia and the Japanese government announced the suspension of virtual reality services at the same time.
Regardless of who said it first, this seemingly different but completely identical content, released at the same time, was featured in the world's media through an urgent breaking news.
- Urgent Breaking News. The Japanese government has announced a complete suspension of virtual reality services.
-Shock. Declaration of suspension of service of Arcadia Co., Ltd. What is the inside story?
-Consumers in panic. Analysis of the background of the access suspension measures and its prospects in the future.
-The Japanese government and Arcadia Co., Ltd. collided without backing down without making a single concession. who's the winner?
It is a problem that has emerged as a matter of interest for the first time in history to the extent that it is reported first in the terrestrial 9 o'clock news. Therefore, so-called experts from all walks of life began to speak loudly about the current situation in front of the camera.
[I pointed out social problems such as medical side effects and serious virtual reality addiction, but I think this is a high-level goal of the Japanese government to put pressure on Arcadia. Currently, about 80 million Japanese subscribers are using the virtual reality service of Arcadia Co., Ltd. The longer this regulatory action lasts, the more astronomical the damage to Arcadia will be.]
[That's right. Analyzing the financial statements announced by Arcadia Co., Ltd., countries other than developed countries such as the United States and Europe are recording huge operating losses due to huge infrastructure investment and setting the lowest rate plan considering the income gap. I'm making up all the losses with the operating profit that occurs in various advanced countries.... In the case of Japan, it was playing an enormous cash cow role that reached 25% of total sales. It would be fatal if it disappeared in an instant.]
No matter how many billions of subscribers, most countries have a poor basic socio-economic level, so Arcadia Co., Ltd. is making huge investments even at a loss to settle virtual reality. . Therefore, it was said that the complete disappearance of sales from Hana in Japan could lead to a serious financial crunch and management crisis.
So, the moderator who was listening to the panelists asked with a doubtful face.
[Then why did Arcadia Co., Ltd. announce the same story as the Japanese government?]
From the standpoint of Arcadia Co., Ltd., no matter how disliked it is, it has no choice but to depend economically on the Japanese market. Like it or not, it was already a huge investment, so the measure to stop the service in this way was just a level of eating my weight. That's why, in the situation where everyone was making faces that they couldn't understand, one of the panels opened up.
[From my point of view, it seems that Arcadia Co., Ltd. is trying to open a public opinion campaign.]
[A public opinion battle....?]
[Basically, the current view of Arcadia Co., Ltd. in Japan is not very good. Inside the Japanese government, the favorability and support for Prime Minister Abin have also plummeted. That's why it seems to be trying to change the situation by selecting such extreme superprecipitation, but I don't know how, but I think Arcadia Co., Ltd. has obtained information about Japan's regulatory measures in advance.] Too coincidentally, the same measures were taken at the same time
. announced by the Japanese government and Arcadia Co., Ltd. No matter how you look at it, he said, looking at this exquisite situation that is unreasonable to see as a coincidence.
[It would have been judged that Arcadia Co., Ltd. would preemptively stop providing services on its own rather than being forced to suspend service unilaterally, which could serve as an advantage in future negotiations and negotiations with the Japanese government. Isn't there a saying like this? Originally, if lovers know in advance that they will kick each other, they kick first before kicking.]
He thinks that Arcadia Co., Ltd. is aiming to strategically gain an upper hand on the negotiating table. Even after that, various opinions and thoughts came and went, but they had one common story.
[Whatever it is, this disruption won't last long. The current situation is as if the Japanese government and Arcadiana are playing a huge game of chicken.] * *

After the declaration of full-scale war against the Japanese government is over.
As soon as she returned to her office, CEO Lee Mi-yeon had to sweat for a long time to calm down executive director Kwon Myung-han, who rushed at her like crazy and made all sorts of nags and fuss.
“Executive Director, you seem to be overly excited. Why don't you calm down and listen to my story before making a decision?”
A cold smile that seems to contain an unspoken threat that whining must be acceptable. Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who realized that her patience was running out due to his years of social life, finally lowered his tail, sat down on the sofa, and kept his mouth shut with a serious face.
“First of all, this decision was not made by me alone.”
“yes....? That means...”
“The board of directors... or, more precisely, the final decision after in-depth discussions with the actual owners of the company.”
The owner of three world-class companies that own this company, and famous entrepreneurs who make the headlines of the day even if only one of them is in the media.
Silicoff's leader Jenika.
Lee Jun-hee, chairman of Ajin Group.
Mikhail, the CEO of Corporation Argos.
Upon hearing that the decision was finally made after obtaining the consent of these three people, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han looked at President Lee Mi-yeon with big eyes that seemed to jump out in disbelief and asked.
“Why the hell did you make this decision? No, then really...”
In the midst of anxiety rising again, Executive Director Kwon Myung-han asked with a nervous look on his face.
“Are you planning to discontinue Arcadia’s service in Japan?”
Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han asked with a nervous look. Seeing him ask a question with an expression similar to that of a new employee, CEO Lee Mi-yeon smiled and said, “It’s fun.” “sure. First of all, I said indefinitely in front of the camera... but in reality, I will take measures close to permanent suspension. In fact, it would be easier to see it as a complete business withdrawal.”
“What the hell is that...”
A shocking story that can't be handled at all.
Nearly 80 million real people play Arcadia, and although they cannot play yet, including underage children who consume virtual reality content, 99% of the entire population enjoys the virtual reality industry. Executive director Kwon Myung-soo felt fear at this terrifying idea to pull out everything that was already firmly embedded in their daily lives.
“This... will be something no one can handle. A huge blow will come to Arcadia Co., Ltd. As the CEO and the managing director who assists the company, this is something I absolutely cannot agree with.”
Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon expresses his opposition, saying that as a human being, this is a decision that we cannot agree with. However, Lee Mi-yeon, the president of the company, laughed at his words, flipped through some documents on the desk, took them out, and handed them to him.
“Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon... what do you think I am doing here as the general manager?”
Lee Mi-yeon, president of Arcadia Co., Ltd., seen by employees.
Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was aware of the rumors about her who seemed to be doing nothing on the outside, kept her mouth shut at her question.
- A boss who fucks his employees by giving them too much money to refuse.
-The president whose hobby is to make the company look like X.
-Please stay still, boss.
-Bitch crazy about bamboo spears.
-The president who has the worst planning skills in the universe.
Every time the game turns upside down due to all sorts of incidents, he tells the employees to do nothing and leave them alone, causing tears of blood to flow from the eyes of the employees and a key figure that drives the family and love fronts to catastrophe. That's why the evaluation couldn't have been good, but the documents that President Lee Mi-yeon handed over were the first reports that even Kwon Myung-han had seen.
“This is... what the hell is this...?”
Hundreds... No, thousands of documents written on the case. Only the titles of the rough report were selected, but it was clear that the titles were unusual.
“This is a list of tricks that have been attempted and perpetrated around the world to target and steal the original technology of Arcadia and virtual reality. As you can see, well... the United States, Australia, Japan, the United Kingdom, China, France, and Canada.
Even at this moment, it is clear that the whole world is watching this conflict with Japan. That's why CEO Lee Mi-yeon said sternly to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was looking at himself and the document in his hand with a shocked face.
“The announcement I made today is not a simple response to retaliatory measures. Executive Director, this is a warning and a message to those who threaten our company.”
President Lee Mi-yeon, who had to endure all sorts of despicable and dirty tricks without being able to say anything even though she was being punished. However, through this action, she was clearly showing everyone around the world who would be aiming for Arcadia.
“The fact that countries that do dirty things to threaten the safety of companies and steal inside information will not be able to enjoy any of the conveniences, privileges, and economic benefits that virtual reality will bring. That's why this suspension of service in Japan is necessary no matter how much business loss it brings.”
For the first time, CEO Lee Mi-yeon pulled out a knife to condemn the crime. She said with a face full of a sense of duty to Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han, who was sitting there staring at her with a dumbfounded face.
“This is what I have to do to protect Arcadia.”
“.....”
Managing Director Kwon Myeong-han couldn't say anything at her words. After a long time, he sighed deeply and said with a face that looked like he was 10 years older.
“If you say so, then I have nothing to say. However, there is a need to prepare additional follow-up measures, Mr. President. The exact data will need to be additionally identified, but if a situation arises in which the huge amount of cash earned by the Japanese branch of Arcadia Co., Ltd. disappears in an instant and at the same time all capsules sold in Japan have to be refunded... may come.”
A situation where you might have to deal with astronomical losses.
However, unlike Executive Director Myung-Han Kwon, who was full of worries and concerns, Lee Mi-Yeon's face was infinitely relaxed.
“Do not worry. Do our company’s investors have a lot of money?”
Argus Silicoff Azin Electronics.
Since they were good global conglomerates who were raking in money from all over the world without letting anyone down, she calmly took out a few follow-up measures without blinking an eye.
“Still, additional measures are prepared to be announced after the suspension of service in Japan.”
Several proposals were proudly brought out as if they had already been fully prepared in advance. And the eyes of executive director Kwon Myeong-han who looked at it began to tremble like crazy.
“Is this for real?”
“sure. Are you kidding me?”
“But still, this is too little...”
Additional measures that are far more unrealistic than imagined. But he could instinctively realize it. If even one of these measures that President Lee Mi-
yeon brought out was really realized... The fact that the Japanese government's decision to stop virtual reality services was the worst card that should never be taken out under any circumstances.
“My stomach hurts when my cousin buys land, and it hurts even more when someone else eats something I can’t eat.”
President Lee Mi-yeon muttered with a smirk. She asked, glancing at Executive Director Kwon Myeong-han as if to ask.
“how is it? Is this enough to make me a little jealous?”
