Chapter 530: How Can There Be Such a Company in the World?

Fang Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, which meant that if he spent two or three billion to get Capcom Co., Ltd. now, by the end of the year, Capcom would earn 15 billion yen.

It means that as long as he buys Capcom Co., Ltd., even if he does not consider the profitability of the other three, he will not only lose four companies for nothing, but also earn an extra billion yen.

Not to mention that the profitability of these four game companies in the next two or three decades is actually good, although they are not as good as Tencent's annual terrifying 200 billion game revenue, but one-tenth, about 20 billion can still be earned.

If calculated according to Tencent Games' gross profit margin of 50.4% in 2018, these four game companies can provide him with a profit of 10 billion.

Although now, or even before 2010, these four companies may not reach such a level, but it should still be possible to earn two or three billion a year.

Not to mention, the original intention of acquiring these game companies is to strengthen the foundation of Xiaobawang and give it the ability to expand outward, which will bring more revenue.

And as long as Capcom Co., Ltd. is successfully acquired, "Street Fighter II" can be ported to Little Overlord immediately.

This time, he not only wants to sell Xiaobawang in Southeast Asia, but also burns the flames of war to the East Japanese mainland.

Of course, it's unrealistic to expect one game, or how many game companies can occupy the game market.

Even said that Fang Chen didn't expect Xiaobawang to occupy much of the Dongwei game console market share, even if it only accounted for five percent, or even three percent, he was happy.

His idea is very simple, just to let the people of Dongwei also use the cheap and easy-to-use Xiaobawang game console!

In addition, Dongwei has always been the base camp of home game consoles, and the sales volume in one place is almost the same as that of Europe and the United States combined, accounting for 40% of the world's game share, and 34% of the market share is also a lot, so you don't lose money.

Fang Chen instantly made up his mind, he paid for this 14 billion yen, and a fool would not do such a lucrative business.

However, there was still a problem that needed to be solved urgently, and Fang Chen's brows furrowed involuntarily.

Seeing that Fang Chen was silent for a long time, and now he was even frowning, Duan Yongping's heart also sank to the bottom.

After a few breaths, Duan Yongping gritted his teeth fiercely, "Otherwise, the money for the acquisition of the game company will be paid by Xiaobawang himself." ”

Fang Chen glanced at Duan Yongping in surprise, and couldn't help but say, "Old Duan, you don't have a fever here, right?"

You know, even if these four game companies really negotiate in the future, the transaction price can be reduced a little, but it will definitely not drop below 600 million, and now Xiaobawang's real funds are only 700 million, if they are all spent, then Xiaobawang will be completely empty.

The most important thing is that this is not in line with Duan Yongping's miser's character.

As he spoke, Fang Chen's hand touched Duan Yongping's forehead again.

"Nope. Duan Yongping's figure flickered, dodged Fang Chen's hand, and said angrily.

I've touched it just now, and I've touched it!

He is mainly reluctant to give up these four game companies, after all, once he gives up, not only will these four companies be gone, but also represent that Xiaobawang's expansion dream is shattered.

And he thinks that he can make money in the game, at least the 700 million should not lose money, and even say that he picked up the cheap.

If it weren't for the collapse of the Dongwa economy, let alone 700 million, and if it doubled again, it would be impossible for 1.4 billion to win these four game companies.

Looking at Duan Yongping's embarrassed expression, Fang Chen laughed twice, "Aren't I afraid that I felt wrong just now, let's confirm it again." ”

Suddenly, Fang Chen's face changed, and he asked Duan Yongping extremely seriously: "In principle, I can agree to your acquisition of these four game companies, but I have a question for you to answer, can our game consoles bypass Nintendo's patents?"

It's just domestic and Russian, the cottage is the copycat, he can cover it, but if the game console goes abroad, it's different, if the defendant plagiarizes, and doesn't say that the game is finished, at least a large fine is indispensable.

If that's the case, he'd rather the little overlord just hang around at home and in Russia.

Hearing this, Duan Yongping was instantly overjoyed, "Yes, the ROM chip of our learning machine is very different from the ROM chip of the game machine, and it is completely designed by us." ”

Ever since he had the idea of letting the Xiaobawang game machine go abroad, he has been preparing in this regard, why is the R&D cost of the learning machine so high, in addition to being anxious with Fang Chen to make the learning machine go on the market, it is because he asked the R&D department to make a set of formats unique to Xiaobawang, or the console platform.

"Now learning machines are 16-bit consoles, just like Nintendo's SFC, Sony's MD, and SNK's AES. Duan Yongping said with some pride.

Previously, the red and white machines and the Xiaobawang game consoles were only eight-bit consoles.

"Moreover, although the specifications and platforms are different, the essence of these three is exactly the same in terms of technology, and they all specify the address of the tile as the address of the ROM on the cartridge directly through some means, so there is no need to load the data into the memory area, but when it comes to neogeocd, it is necessary to open up an area for loading these SPR data ......or something," Duan Yongping said with great interest.

Over the past year, he has been studying the specifications of game consoles.

Fang Chen's head was big when he heard it, to be honest, he could understand the English and Chinese characters that Duan Yongping spoke, but when they were added, he didn't know what Duan Yongping was talking about.

If you talk about the 6502 chip, this kind of more common and general-purpose hardware, he probably still knows what it is, but when it comes to the specific principle, he really doesn't know anything at all, after all, there is a specialization in the art industry.

However, computer technology, although it may sound bells and whistles, is actually universal, whether it is SFC, or MD, or AES, their essence is sixteen-bit host, or their CPU is sixteen-bit.

In general, CPUs come in eight, sixteen, thirty-two, and sixty-four bits.

An eight-bit CPU can only process one eight-bit data or one eight-bit instruction at a time, such as '00001101'.

A 16-bit CPU can process two bytes of data at a time, greatly simplifying the complexity of software design.

And one thing he knew, Sony was very enthusiastic about reaching a cooperation with Nintendo, so that Sony's CDROM game console could be compatible with Nintendo's SFC, but Sony's plan was discovered by a barrister-turned-president of Nintendo in the United States.

Once Sony uses Nintendo's influence to open up the situation, it is entirely possible to exploit the loopholes in the provisions to develop a console that is compatible with the new game specifications of the original system, and SFC is not compatible with this new format, in which case Nintendo's market dominance will unwittingly transition to Sony's hands.

Even, Nintendo has done things that have been manipulated in terms of specifications.

In order to expand the sales of his new console, SFC, Nintendo also specially adopted a sixteen-bit CPU upgraded from 6502, 65816 as the CPU.

The 65816 has an emulation mode that can run just like the 6502, making it compatible with FC games.

In other words, compatibility or incompatibility just depends on the mood and needs of the OEM, and there is not much of a problem in terms of technology.

"I want to name our Xiaobawang's console platform XBW. Duan Yongping said.

xbw?

Fang Chen paused for a moment.

After dozens of seconds, Fang Chen came to his senses, and the co-authorship was just the initials of the three words Xiaobawang.

Seeing that Duan Yongping was still about to speak, Fang Chen directly interrupted him, "Okay, I won't talk to you so much, if you want to buy it, you can buy it, I will pay half of this money, and Xiaobawang will pay half of it himself." ”

"This money, Xiaobawang himself can give it all out. Duan Yongping pretended to be generous, but his constantly rubbing hands had already revealed the true thoughts in his heart.

"If you really say that, then the money will be all out of the little overlord. ”

Fang Chen glanced at Duan Yongping, and he found that Lao Duan was really becoming more and more hypocritical.

Duan Yongping was silent for two seconds, and suddenly nodded heavily, "Okay." ”

Fang Chen touched Duan Yongping's forehead for the third time.

Duan Yongping looked at Fang Chen viciously, but strangely, he didn't shake Fang Chen's hand away.

"Old Duan, if you are sick, let's rest, the company has me. Fang Chen looked concerned and said softly.

"Is my forehead hot?" Duan Yongping's face instantly drooped and he asked.

"It's not hot. Fang Chen shook his head.

"Then why are you so sure I'm sick?" Duan Yongping felt that his lungs were about to explode, and he didn't even call Mr. Fang and you.

But who knows, Fang Chen said with a natural face: "If you are not sick, can you talk nonsense?"

Duan Yongping was speechless for a moment.

Looking at Duan Yongping's deflated appearance, Fang Chen and Wu Maocai couldn't help but laugh at once.

After a few fuss, Fang Chen asked seriously: "Old Duan, what do you think, this is really not like the usual you." “

"If you want to say 700 million at once, I must be reluctant, but I thought about it just now, and I think that this money should be paid, Xiaobawang has grown up, and he is no longer a young eagle, we have reached the time to use our own ability to obtain nutrients, and we can't always rely on your relief." Duan Yongping said bitterly.

In Russian companies, they have to hand over a lot of profits to Fang Chen every month, but Xiaobawang is an exception.

Starting from the three words Xiaobawang, except for the first time when Fang Chen went to Russia, Xiaobawang gave Fang Chen 10 million start-up capital, and since then, not only has he not handed over a penny to Fang Chen, but even spent five or six hundred million on Fang Chen.

Now Xiaobawang has tens of thousands of employees, with a net profit of nearly 200 million a month.

But now it is too unreasonable to buy a company, expand it, and ask Fang Chen to pay money at every turn.

Under the sky, where is there such a company? Fupin Chinese
