Taking a roundabout way to save the nation

Matsubashi Miho's words were very enticing, but the advertising company still had some hesitation.

Those big companies were indeed not to be messed with.

"So, did you have any agreements with those big companies before?"

"Of course, in simple terms, it's just that we hope to avoid trading with you."

The person in charge of this company was quite honest, there wasn't much concealment in this regard.

But it could also be because the conditions Matsubashi Miho had just offered were indeed very tempting.

If Matsubashi Miho's words were true, then at least it could ensure that their company wouldn't go bankrupt within ten years.

That was quite good.

But whether it was worth offending the big companies for this, that's hard to say.

Matsubashi Miho handed a document to the person in charge of this company and said, "You can take a look at this. Regarding the agreement you signed, we can completely bypass it. We don't need to display any advertising logos, we just need you to be able to post these images."

The person in charge of this company took the document and began to look through it.

In the document were scenes of gameplay and classic game characters.

These images were very compelling, and the ad copy was also very attractive.

At the same time, there were some common points in these ad slogans, which was that there was absolutely no mention of Gamestar Entertainment.

The person in charge of this advertising company looked up at Matsubashi Miho. "So you don't need to add any logos or names of your company to the promotional ads?"

"That's right, this way, the restrictions those big companies have on you will no longer be effective, right? Initially, they only said you couldn't register advertisements with the name of Gamestar Entertainment, but there's no mention of our company's name in these advertisements. Even if those big companies really want to find fault, if they use this as an excuse to sanction you, I believe your advertising union will help you solve the problem. After all, those big companies can't afford to offend an entire advertising union industry, right?"

In the United States, unions in various industries were also a force to be reckoned with. Sometimes they even developed into a cancerous extent in the industry, which in turn restrained the industry's development.

However, if used properly, unions could also help Matsubashi Miho solve problems.

This strategy was not something Matsubashi Miho came up with initially, but rather a suggestion from Takayuki.

Because Takayuki recalled some similar incidents that had occurred in the United States in the past, he also knew how much these unions protected their own industries.

To protect the foundation of their own industry, they were willing to go to great lengths to confront some big companies, and the US government also supported this behavior, which could be considered as one of the means for the government to indirectly confront capital.

Those large companies had great power and influence, but their rights were indeed not unlimited.

They could warn verbally that they couldn't accept invitations from competitors to do certain things.

But they couldn't stop it indefinitely, only to a certain extent.

Takayuki was exploiting this loophole.

The person in charge of this company's eyes lit up.

He held onto the document and didn't want to let go.

"Ms. Matsubashi Miho, are you really sure you just want to publish these image advertisements? Without adding any logos or names related to your company?"

"That's right, just these images, and then you can get a ten-year advertising contract from our company. This will be a very profitable deal."

"Okay, I accept, can we sign the contract now?"

In the end, advertising companies also needed to make money. Now, they were just turning these game images into advertisements without adding any company names. These advertising companies also had their excuses.

What? You're talking about these ads? I'm sorry, we didn't violate our previous agreement at all. These ads were purchased by enthusiastic players who love these games, and have nothing to do with Gamestar Entertainment. Look, there's not even a mention of Gamestar Entertainment's name on them.

Ah? You want to sanction us? I'm sorry, although we really don't dare to provoke you big companies, we're not easy to deal with either. You can't unreasonably restrict us. As soon as you do, we'll sue, and let you guys see the power of our union.

Matsubashi Miho didn't particularly understand these things about unions, she was even a little surprised where Takayuki learned about these things about the United States.

If she remembered correctly, Takayuki had never left Japan. People like her who had friends in the United States didn't particularly understand this, but Takayuki was very clear.

Takayuki only explained that he saw it on the internet. After all, the current internet had already formed a rudimentary form of searching when in doubt. If you really wanted to search for relevant news and information, it was not a difficult task.

After negotiating with one company successfully, Matsubashi Miho's confidence soared, and she immediately went to the next advertising company.

Unlike the department stores, department stores really needed high-quality products to sell in their stores.

Without the support of these big companies, the reputation of their department store companies would immediately decline.

But advertising companies actually had some advantages. They were a group of people who controlled the media and couldn't be completely controlled by big companies.

At the same time, inside the US branch of Surya Electronics, Aiden was having a meeting with the senior executives.

"Regarding the recent development of the US company, the headquarters in Japan has already given directions, that is, to focus on promoting the PN2 game console, which will be the future direction of Surya Electronics."

"Um, Mr. Aiden, I have something to say."

A senior executive raised his hand.

"What is it?"

"It's just that the Gamestar Entertainment from Japan seems to be planning a promotional campaign too. They're developing very strongly in Japan, and they should be a very strong competitor, right?"

Aiden nodded. "Indeed, that's why we're limiting the contact between department stores and advertising companies and Gamestar Entertainment through our influence. As long as those guys are smart enough, they shouldn't be entangled with Gamestar Entertainment. What's wrong?"

"Nothing, it's just that this way, the price we pay isn't low. Do you think it's really necessary to deal with Gamestar Entertainment like this?"

"Of course it's necessary," Aiden said seriously. "This company can compete with the headquarters in Japan on their own turf and still thrive, and has already become a dominant force in Japan. Such a company developing in the United States will definitely be a formidable opponent for us in the video game industry. Such formidable opponents deserve more efficient means of suppression, and haven't our peers reached a consensus on this?"
