Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

The creator of Infinite Worlds got a little excited.

He even wished he had enough money to acquire Mikeford and its IP, and then release all the games on other platforms.

Most of these games are developed using the Unreal Engine, and the similarity in their underlying code makes game porting relatively easy.

In the end, they might make a fortune.

The god of games... seems to be the god of investment as well.

Chapter 1188 Are you interested in starting a company together?

Buying Mikelford's gaming division is no easy feat.

The department will be officially split up in a few months. First, we need to reassure each employee and get them to wait willingly.

This Takeyusei was handed over to his strongest helper, Matsuhashi Minoru, to handle.

She would take people directly to all the employees in the Mickford Games division.

The next step is to proceed with the acquisition process.

But acquiring this company would require taking some unusual steps.

Although the Mekfor Games division will be split up, it will still be a Mekfor subsidiary. However, all its activities will be self-sufficient. Without Mekfor's support, the initial funding will be in dire need. Just paying employee salaries and usage fees for products like Unreal Engine could bankrupt the division.

Unless all employees in this department are willing to work for free for more than six months, give up many vacation opportunities, and devote their entire lives to the three games that are about to be released, there is no way this company can be brought back to life.

As for the previous games, according to the agreement with Mikef, they retain the copyright for more than a year to ensure that their game consoles and other products can ultimately sell more.

If they want to acquire this gaming division, they still need Mickford's approval.

If Yuxing Electronic Entertainment were to attempt an acquisition, Myron Case would likely refuse decisively once he learned of it.

Even if Myron Case doesn't hate Yusei Electronic Entertainment, he certainly doesn't want Yusei Electronic Entertainment to take advantage of him.

We would never sell to Youxing Electronic Entertainment, even if it were sold to someone else at a low price.

So from the very beginning, Zhu Youxing had to find a way to create a new company.

A company that is clean enough that almost no one would suspect it.

At this moment, Zhu Youxing suddenly thought of the most suitable candidate.

That's my alternate account.

Nintendo is the damn world ruler.

This alternate account has been active online for over a decade, and during this long period, it has had almost no interaction with Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Even his three disciples didn't know that this alternate account was actually Zhu Youxing himself.

No more than one hand knows the true identity of this alternate account.

It would be perfect to use this alternate account to figure out how to start a company.

Without hesitation, Zhu Youxing immediately began to act.

At that moment, a spark of enthusiasm suddenly rekindled in him.

His decades-long experience in game development has gradually made him more composed.

But this time it's like starting from scratch.

He also wanted to see how many people would be willing to support him if he didn't have the filter of fame he had gained.

Oh no, that's not right either. My alternate account is actually quite famous now.

He has been hailed by many as the king of indie games, with numerous indie games dominating the Battle.net bestseller list.

However, simply setting up a company is not enough.

We also need developers and clean funding.

In order to make things appear authentic and to facilitate the acquisition of Mikeford, it was necessary to establish a company in the United States.

This is a natural geographical limitation.

If the company itself is a Japanese enterprise, it will inevitably be subject to stricter scrutiny from the US government.

It is only more likely that an acquisition of another American company will be successful.

At this moment, Zhu Youxing thought of someone else.

Lorenzo, former CEO of Morgan Stanley.

A figure of comparable stature to Bill Gates of Microsoft in his previous life.

Now that he has retired from his career, he is focusing on philanthropy and rarely interferes in the affairs of the Morgan Group.

By getting Lorenzo to endorse the company and starting it under the names of Lorenzo and his alternate partner, the resistance would be minimal.

"I'm going to the United States. Could you please contact Mr. Lorenzo for me?"

Zhu Youxing readily instructed his personal assistant to arrange things.

That afternoon, Zhu Youxing boarded a plane bound for the United States.

This time, his passion was reignited, and the feeling of his youth returned, as if he had been reborn. He was extremely excited.

He even started to become enthusiastic about business negotiations, which he had initially had little interest in.

Meanwhile, in the United States, Lorenzo, who is nearly eighty years old, is completely bewildered in his own estate.

Zhu Youxing suddenly approached him, saying he wanted him to rediscover some of the feelings he had when he was young.

What does it feel like to be young?

What can make you feel young again?

When Morgan Stanley was first founded?

That was indeed a very passionate time, and it was the most glorious period of my youth.

But what exactly does Zhu Youxing plan to do?

He received Zhu Youxing's invitation in the early hours of the morning, at which time Zhu Youxing was already preparing to go to the United States.

He only saw the news when Zhu Youxing was almost in the United States.

However, his doubts did not last long, because Zhu Youxing had arrived in the United States three hours later and was waiting for Lorenzo in a relatively secluded place suitable for quietly conducting business negotiations.

Zhu Youxing did not wait for Lorenzo's affirmative answer, or perhaps Zhu Youxing had already assumed that Lorenzo would definitely accept his invitation.

In fact, Lorenzo didn't hesitate much.

He has always had a good impression of Zhu Youxing.

Lorenzo felt a sense of kinship with Takeyuki, who was full of drive from a young age and had also achieved success at a young age.

Later, Morgan Group and Yusei Electronic Entertainment cooperated closely. Although the relationship between Morgan Group and Yusei Electronic Entertainment later fell to a low point, it did not affect Lorenzo's good impression of Yusei.

He naturally wouldn't refuse Zhu Youxing's invitation, but he was also curious about what Zhu Youxing was really up to.

The two agreed to meet at a safe enough restaurant in a local American city.

This restaurant has always been known for being safe and discreet.

No secrets will be revealed to anyone who comes here for business negotiations. They even offer special customized services to ensure transparency for both parties throughout their trip in the United States.

This is the foundation upon which this restaurant stands, and it is also because this restaurant truly has a very strong background.

Given their wealth and status, Zhu Youxing and Lorenzo would naturally not care about this amount of money.

Zhu Youxing spent over a million dollars on this, but for him, it was insignificant.

When Lorenzo arrived, Takeyusei had been waiting for some time, patiently reading the latest US internet news.

Lorenzo, on the other hand, specially changed into a very formal business suit, an outfit he had hardly worn in recent years, which also reflects the importance he attaches to Zhu Youxing.

"Mr. Zhuyou, please wait."

Lorenzo followed the restaurant staff's directions to the private room where Zhu Youxing was, and then greeted him.

Zhu Youxing immediately stood up with a smile: "No, it didn't take long. Mr. Lorenzo, it's been a long time since we last met. I really miss it."

"Yes, but we're not here to catch up today. After all, you've spent over a million dollars. I'm quite curious about what kind of business you want to discuss with me."

Zhu Youxing said, "Are you interested in starting a company together?"

"Ok?"

Chapter 1189 To acquire it, you first need to develop a blockbuster game.

To re-establish a company, a company registered in the United States.

Zhu Youxing, on the other hand, holds absolute control of the shares.

Lorenzo was one of the investors involved.

Zhu Youxing succinctly stated his most fundamental purpose to Lorenzo.

That is, they want to use this company to acquire Mickford's gaming division.

He was genuinely interested in some of the games in this department, and he didn't want such good games to be wasted.

Abandoned by Mickford, the game IPs of this department will inevitably become casualties.

Zhu Youxing hopes that these games will have a good outcome.

In his past life, he had witnessed many regrettable instances where a game was originally a good one, but ultimately had to be abandoned for various reasons.

Since Mikefu has some really good games, Bamboo Star doesn't really want them to disappear.

Lorenzo was somewhat surprised. He didn't understand why Zhu Youxing would go to such lengths; it seemed unnecessary.

"Just think of it as my idealism towards video games. Anyway, I've made enough money, so I won't miss out on this little bit."

"Then, if I may ask, you can answer truthfully or not, because this may be a matter of privacy."

"You said."

"How much are your personal assets? I mean, including all the assets of your company, since this company has always belonged to you."

Zhu Youxing pondered for a moment and finally decided that since they would be long-term partners, he should tell them something.
