Super Game Empire

Kutaragi Ken expressed considerable disgust, Yamauchi Hiroshi did not express his position, and Nakata Kono did not even bother to say anything, which made the embarrassed Miyamoto Masashi gradually become angry.

Is it possible that Sony will still take care of Dragon Teng's emotions? Will the tough Nintendo and Namco change their stance and become supporters of Dragon Teng? Hasn't Sony, Nintendo and Namco always carried the banner of revitalizing the national game industry?

Do you vow to drive foreign games out of the Japanese market?

Masashi Miyamoto felt really disgusting to reject him with such a poor excuse as fear of offending Long Teng!

"So, President Kutaragi doesn't want to take over our Square? We didn't even have a chance to sit down and discuss the details, so he just rejected us?" Miyamoto Masashi's voice was a little cold.

Kutaragi shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to take over, but Square's price is too high, and it's not the right time yet. President Miyamoto, I know you are filming the "Final Fantasy" movie, and you have already invested a lot of money, right?

?Two years have passed, but why haven’t we seen the movie released yet?”

Miyamoto Masashi's eyes flashed for an instant, he opened his mouth, and was speechless. This scene was seen by everyone, and everyone knew it.

Such a bottomless pit of money, and you still want to throw away 100 million US dollars? What a joke, does Square think everyone else is a fool? They really have no desire to sit down and negotiate!

No matter how Masashi Miyamoto explained it, the other three people all insisted on one thing. They wanted to wait until the release of the "Final Fantasy: Souls Within" movie to see Square Enix's true financial situation and the true technical level of Square Enix.

.Then use their own evaluation method to re-evaluate.

Miyamoto Masashi was wailing in his heart. The board of directors did not give him this right. US$100 million was their quotation, and the bottom line was 80 million. But these people were not even willing to pay 800,000, and they were not willing to talk.

But if they really wait until the day the movie is released, why do they bother with such a big fanfare? If the movie is a hit, the price will definitely be more than $100 million, and Square will not have to sell it at all. If the movie fails at the box office, Square may go bankrupt.

, not even worth 10 million US dollars.

The most critical thing is that no one is optimistic about the box office of Square's movies. This is the crux of the failure to reach a cooperation agreement!

"If you don't acquire Square now, you will regret it!" Masashi Miyamoto made a desperate protest.

However, the three of them were silent and no one answered.

When Masashi Miyamoto finally left in disappointment, Hiroshi Yamauchi finally spoke: "Acquiring Square is actually not a bad thing."

"But the price is too high, I wonder if this is a trap." Nakata Kono said solemnly.

"This kind of thing happens too much, and Longteng's attitude makes me very uneasy. In the acquisition of DND rules, S private company was sold to Longteng, but they actually ignored the TSR company that mastered the DND rules. As a result, the other party was half dead.

On the verge of bankruptcy, but no one dares to acquire it, I'm worried that Square will also follow this path..." Kutaragi thought the most, and he roughly guessed Yang Yun's true intention.

"If we were not competitors. In fact, I would like to praise Yang Yun's approach. His approach to Square has reached the point where he can win without any tricks. He doesn't need to say anything at all. What can companies like TSR and Square do?

You will lose your position and fall into despair." Yamauchi Pu sighed, he also saw Yang Yun's intention.

Longteng doesn't care about you. If you try to kill yourself, you deserve it.

If you want to make a comeback, you can only find a way to save yourself. If you want to find outside help, I'm sorry, but other people will be intimidated by Long Teng's reputation and no one will dare to help you.

There are only two outcomes in the end, either TSR and Square survive this ordeal, resurrect themselves, and save themselves.

Either the company goes bankrupt, becomes a bargain, and is acquired by Longteng.

And others want to acquire it? Impossible. The only one who can rejuvenate TSR and Square with an uncertain future is Long Teng. No one else can do it. Whoever takes over is equivalent to putting their neck under Long Teng's knife. When?

Yes, it depends on Yang Yun's mood.

For a time, everyone who had figured out all the problems was silent for a while. They did not dare to imagine that in two or three years, their respective companies would become the next Square.

"You will regret it!" Miyamoto Masashi's words kept echoing in their minds, and many fragments of memories flashed before their eyes, including Sega, Capcom, SNK, Enix, Panasonic, Square Enix, and so on.

Japanese game production companies have been overthrown by Longteng. Is every bankrupt company finally letting out such a desperate and unwilling roar?

After Masashi Miyamoto hit a wall at Sony, Nintendo and Namco, he went to Panasonic. There are not many pure-blood companies in Japan that can afford to buy Square.

Panasonic rejected him and said they would never enter the game production industry. They had learned enough lessons from the bankruptcy of 3do and Panasonic's board of directors would not make the same mistake.

Sharp rejected him.

Mitsubishi rejected him.

Nec expressed lack of interest. If Square offered $1 million, Nec was willing to reluctantly take over the business for the sake of the Japanese company. Miyamoto Masashi turned around and left.

Only one emerging investment company has expressed strong interest in Square. It is Japan's SoftBank Group. This is a Japanese telecommunications broadband company that controls many Japanese telephone and telegraph companies, fixed-line telephones, finance and media, emerging IT industries, etc.

Field, its founder is Masayoshi Son, a Korean-Japanese man, and the price quoted to Miyamoto Masashi was US$15 million, and it was not a one-time payment.

This is the highest offer Miyamoto Masashi has heard, but it is far from US$100 million. He cannot make the decision, and he has some emotional resistance to Son from his heart. After all, he himself also has strong national sentiments, otherwise it would not be so troublesome.

Looking for Japanese takeovers everywhere.

A week later, the world saw the box office of "Resident Evil". The actual box office on the first day was 15.4 million. The box office in the first week just exceeded the 100 million mark, reaching 102 million. At this rate, the total box office may exceed 200 million US dollars.

This is a low-cost movie, and the salary of actresses is much lower than that of male stars. Sophie Marceau's salary is only 5 million US dollars, Pierce Brosnan and Will Smith's salary is even less, and the others combined are less than 5 million US dollars.

to 10 million.

The highest cost is the special effects lenses produced by large computers. These are Weta Digital and Longteng's own technology. The rendering uses a computer group purchased by Longteng itself at a huge expense. These are all calculated based on cost price.

There was even a scene in the movie where Yang Yun himself acted as a zombie, and he was well-meaningly laughed at because Jackie Chan was so frugal that he didn't even want to hire an extra extra.

By moving a story that is almost completely different from the game to the big screen, the audience's super adaptability is gradually revealed, and they also like the creative content of the movie.

The setting of the underground laboratory of the Umbrella Company, the good skills of the special forces, the cold-bloodedness and cruelty of the Flame Queen, the fatal creativity of the laser channel, the bold sex/sense of Sophie Marceau, and the perfect fusion of CG special effects, all of this makes players

They feel that they are still unsatisfied and even begin to look forward to the next "Resident Evil" game and the filming of the next movie.

"The world of "Resident Evil" will be created by you!"

This sentence appears on the ending screen of the movie, and coupled with the intensive bombing for more than a month, it has become deeply rooted in people's hearts. People are looking forward to the script written by themselves appearing in the next film.

The box office revenue of 200 million U.S. dollars, after half of it was distributed to theaters, made Long Teng at least 40 million U.S. dollars. This money made colleagues envious, but no one was jealous, because this is what Long Teng deserves, and Long Teng is always there.

Be innovative.

Innovation is the only way to survive!

At Square, there was a dispute between two factions on the board of directors.

One group strongly supports lowering the offer price to US$30 million and selling it to SoftBank Group.

The other group supports the initiative to show favor to Longteng Company, offering an offer of US$60 million to sell all the copyrights of "Final Fantasy" to Longteng Company.

The contents of both groups are similar, both selling 51% of the copyright of Square's most valuable "Final Fantasy" game to other companies.

It's just that SoftBank Group took over and paid US$30 million, as well as the endless tug-of-war with Longteng in the future, so the price was half cheaper.

If Longteng buys it for 60 million, the whole world will be much cleaner. The board of directors will take the money and leave, no longer wanting to deal with this issue, so the price will be doubled.

The dispute was put on the table, and the board of directors was composed of investors who Miyamoto Masashi could not afford to offend. All they cared about was money. The profits that Square had made over the years had already made their pockets rich, but once this big tree

When a tree falls, it is human nature to grab a big fortune before leaving.

The news reached Yang Yun's ears, and he laughed. The software group and Son Zhengyi were all old acquaintances.

"Mr. Yang, this SoftBank Group is not simple!" Yang Zhan handed over the collected information and sighed.

Yang Yun flipped through it casually, looked at its resume, and raised the corners of his mouth.

Isn’t SoftBank Group the boss behind Taobao? Has it been fighting him head-on since 1996?
