Chapter Thirty-Eight: Yamamoto Masa, who came in a hurry
Yamamoto Masa, who was far away in Japan, booked a ticket to China that night after receiving a call from Miyuki Aso.
In fact, Sony's testing of the game has been completed, and all the people who tested the game have given it a very high evaluation. It's just that Yamamoto didn't rush to contact Zheng Yan in order to take the initiative in the negotiations. But after hearing that Kudo Takumi personally rushed to Huaxia, Yamamoto really couldn't sit still.
On the evening of Zheng Yan's meeting with Kudo Takumi, Yamamoto rushed to the capital of China. Yamamoto did not contact Zheng Yan immediately, but only told Zheng Yan through Miyuki Aso that he hoped to have a long talk with Zheng Yan about this cooperation tomorrow.
"Zheng Yan, what do you think in your heart? Do you prefer Sony or Nintendo? I think Nintendo is pretty good, after all, they are only committed to the development of game software and hardware, and they should have more advantages than Sony in terms of production and sales. Zhao Weimin asked curiously.
Zheng Yan smiled and said, "In fact, Sony is no worse than Nintendo in terms of game production and sales, but because this is only a subsidiary of Sony, it is covered by the light of the entire Sony Group." In Japan, Sony is also one of the giants in the game production industry. ”
"You haven't said which one you like?" Tang Hao couldn't wait to interject.
Zheng Yan said with a smile: "You listened to me, actually, I still tend to Sony in my heart." Second, you should remember the conversation I had with your father? I mentioned that in the process of enterprise reform, it is inevitable that a large number of workers will be laid off, and I am now preparing for this. Sony has always been a world leader in the production and development of computers and digital products. I am ready to take this opportunity to reach a deeper cooperation with Sony, and at the same time establish our own electronic product processing plant in Huaxia, which can be OEM for Sony in the future. Electronic product foundries require a lot of labor and do not require high academic qualifications, so if a situation like the one I mentioned arises in the future, we can also share some of the pressure for the country. ”
Several people discussed as they walked, and soon arrived at the company.
When Zheng Yan came to the company, Yamamoto was already waiting in the company.
Seeing Zheng Yan, Yamamoto quickly stood up, "Zheng Jun, I know that Nintendo's Kudo Takumi has come to look for you. Thank you very much for deciding to meet with me first. ”
Yamamoto's gratitude is sincere, and he still has great trust in the vision of Sony's game development team. Moreover, Takumi Kudo actually came in person, which shows how good this game is. If Zheng Yan negotiates with Kudo Takumi first, I'm afraid there will be nothing to do with himself.
"Mr. Yamamoto, after all, I promised you that I would wait for news from your side first. Of course I will keep my word. Moreover, we're friends, aren't we?" Zheng Yan replied with a smile.
Listening to Zheng Yan's words, Yamamoto was even more grateful, "Zheng Jun, I also came with great sincerity this time. After the decision of the company's senior management, we are ready to establish a joint venture company with your company to jointly operate this product. Here's the specific plan I brought, you can take a look at it first. ”
Yamamoto didn't have the slightest idea of temptation at this time, after all, in the previous negotiation process, Zheng Yan's strength left a deep impression on him. Yamamoto Masa, who was afraid that Zheng Yan would not be satisfied, directly opened the bottom line that Sony could give.
Zheng Yan took the document, and since the document is available in two languages, Huaxia and Japanese, he is not worried about any cattiness.
It can be seen from the documents that Sony still has a lot of sincerity for this cooperation. The plan pointed out that the two companies would jointly invest in the establishment of a subsidiary, with Zheng Yan contributing 20 percent of the shares, plus technology shares, accounting for 45 percent of the company's shares. Sony invested 80 percent of the company's shares, accounting for 55 percent of the company's shares. At the same time, Sony will also provide existing sales channels.
"Mr. Yamamoto, I don't have too many objections to the company's shares. But I would like to attach a few conditions, first, after the company's products are produced, they must be officially launched with my consent, and I don't want the shoddy situation to ruin this product. Second, the newly established company wants to set up a factory in China, and in addition to producing this game console, it needs to also have the right to OEM other electronic products for Sony. Of course, in order to quickly seize the game market, pre-production will still be carried out in Japan. After all, if you want to build a factory in Huaxia, coupled with personnel recruitment and training, you can't put it into use within at least one year. Of course, I will also be able to afford the R&D of subsequent product upgrades. If our company develops new video game software in the future, it will also be produced and operated through a joint venture. These will be added to the contract at that time. ”
Zheng Yan deliberately said a video game, because Zheng Yan's goal is in computer games, and this Zheng Yan is preparing to run his own company independently. As for video games, if you are happy in the future, it is not a big deal to choose a popular game software to operate together.
Yamamoto was not surprised by Zheng Yan's first condition, and he himself would not allow shoddy work to occur. Zheng Yan's second condition, Yamamoto is a little confused. As far as he knows, Huaxia doesn't say anything else at present, but recruitment may be a problem. However, it is not a big problem for Sony, Huaxia is currently building a factory, the cost is very low, even if it is not used, it will not cause much loss. If it is put into use normally in the later stage, it can also save a lot of costs for Sony in terms of production due to Huaxia's cheap labor.
Yamamoto thought about it and didn't think that Zheng Yan's conditions would cause any loss, so he agreed.
Due to the lack of manpower on Zheng Yan's side, the production and operation of the early products are mainly responsible for Sony, and Zheng Yan's side only conducts financial supervision through financial software.
After signing the contract, Yamamoto hurried back to Japan to preside over the production and sales of products.
Miyuki Aso was still stayed, and Yamamoto thought that Miyuki Aso had played a key role in the process of this collaboration, although Miyuki Aso only made a phone call. But Yamamoto decided to keep her as a pawn anyway.
Since the cooperation with Sony has been reached, Nintendo's role is complete. After apologizing, Kudo Takumi and his party were sent away from Huaxia.
