"Tell me, what kind of game is that, and when was it released?" Henry instructed the secretary.

"Yes!"

When Henry heard this, he already knew what game it was, and he called his secretary to ask about it, mainly to know when the game was released!

The game was supposed to be released back in March of this year, but Henry hadn't seen it before!

After a while, the secretary returned.

"Chairman, that game is called Street Fighter 2, and it's a sequel to Capcom's recent release!"

"Not long ago?" said Henry, frowning.

"About a week ago, Capcom Co., Ltd.'s Street Fighter 2 officially landed in the United States!"

Hearing this, Henry nodded, and then said, "Investigate the sales of Street Fighter 2 immediately!"

"Yes!"

In 1991, the arcade industry was at a critical juncture, and Nintendo's FC/SFC consoles formed a trend of front and back attack, arcade manufacturers turned their business focus to home platforms, and the arcade market was like a pool of stagnant water!

And the birth of "Street Fighter 2" saved the entire arcade industry!!!!

However, Street Fighter 2's baseboard didn't sell well at first, with many players seeing it as something like Kombat Whirlwind and Two Dragons, but when they found the joy of fighting against people, an irresistible storm of arcade popularity finally formed, with more and more teenagers throwing off the controllers of their home consoles and flocking to the already deserted arcade halls to queue up to experience the revolutionary game, where every character had a huge fan base and children shouted in the streets. Fuel consumption heel" and at the same time imitate the moves of the Ascending Dragon Fist!

Henry was also one of the queues......

At night. The secretary called Henry and said, "Chairman, the investigation has been clarified. Currently, the arcade market is sluggish. Street Fighter 2 has not sold very well, only 500 boards have been sold in the United States, and the situation is similar in Japan!

"Well, that's it!" Henry hung up, then turned on his computer and logged into his email. Click on the information sent by the secretary.

After Henry looked through the information, he found that Capcom was able to produce Street Fighter 2, which was really not easy!

SNK, an old rival in the slump of arcade machines, is ready to change careers and develop home machines. However, SNK was full of ambition and launched a large-scale talent poaching operation for the entire industry, and the old enemy CAPCPM naturally became a key target, and the exodus of many elites once caused the development progress of games such as "Street Fighter 2" to be greatly delayed!

At this time, he was very poor, and he couldn't do anything about it when he saw that talents were being poached. In order to save money on the development of Street Fighter 2, the company did not even hire professional voice actors, and all the people responsible for dubbing the characters of the game were employees of the company!

After reading the information, Henry understood that the hard days were over. The day of soaring is not far away......

And if you want to enter the arcade, then enter the home machine is a very good choice!

Henry knew very well that the company would become the leader in the arcade industry with Street Fighter 2, and the transplantation of Street Fighter 2 to home consoles was even more popular, selling more than 6 million copies worldwide, which was an insurmountable milestone for fighting games! The successive releases of Street Fighter 2 in Japan and the United States have played a huge role in promoting the hardware sales of Nintendo's new game console SFC, especially in North America, which has made D a competitive disadvantage and quickly skyrocketed. In 1992 alone, during the Christmas War, 2 million units were successfully shipped!!

This is the best opportunity to start a company!!

Henry picks up the phone and dials an ocean number!

"I'm Henry Williams!! Henry said in a dignified tone over the phone.

"Hello, chairman!! excuse me. Do you have any instructions?"

"Immediate acquisition of Capcom Co., Ltd. !!"

"Yes!"

"That's it for now, but I'm asking for the acquisition to be fast, preferably within a week!!," Henry instructed, "and it doesn't matter if the price is higher!"

"I understand, I will do my best to acquire Capcom Co., Ltd., please rest assured that the chairman !!"

"Well, that's it, you go and arrange it now!" said Henry lightly.

"Yes!!"

Henry hung up the phone, then made himself a cup of coffee, and thought about the problem as he slowly tasted it.

Capcom Co., Ltd. is a very promising game company, this "Street Fighter 2" made Capcom Co., Ltd. reach the peak of the arcade industry, and then also achieved good results in the field of home consoles, producing "Resident Evil", "Devil May Cry", "Monster Hunter", "Onimusamurai" and many other very popular games! It enjoys a good reputation in the game industry, and is called "Action Tianzun" in the industry!! which means that in the field of making action games, there are few rivals, and it belongs to the supreme level!!

……

……

"What?!, someone paid $100 million to buy Capcom Co., Ltd.!!," Kenzo Mimoto said with a shocked look on his face.

"Yes, President, Goldman Sachs has officially sent us an invitation to takeover!"

"Goldman Sachs?"

"That's right, it's Goldman Sachs, but they're buying Capcom Co., Ltd. on behalf of someone else! As for who they want to buy us behind it, we don't know for the time being!"

"Hmm......" Kenzo Qianmoto nodded knowingly, and then pondered.

Seeing this, the secretary quietly withdrew.

At this time, the whole Capcom Co., Ltd. knew that someone was going to buy the company!

Arcade machines are sluggish, and other manufacturers have changed careers. Capcom Co., Ltd. still insisted, but unfortunately, the sales of "Street Fighter 2" were very unsatisfactory, and the company's current situation was very difficult!

In the face of $100 million, it's no wonder that Kenzo is not moved, but he is cautious, he still made a phone call to inquire about the sales of "Street Fighter 2" in the marketing department, and if the sales situation improves and is hot, he will not sell the company. Otherwise, sell it quickly!

"President, the reputation of the game is good, and the sales have increased last week!!"

Qian Benxian's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "How much has it increased?"

"Japan has added 200 game boards, and the U.S. has added 100 game boards!"

When Kenzo Mimoto heard this, he fell silent, and the increase in sales meant that the game was popular, but the increase was not too much.

Is it to sell the company, or is it ......

Qian Ben Xiansan suddenly hesitated!

But then, someone from the Goldman Sachs Group came to Capcom and said to Kenzo Mijimoto: "Chairman Kenzo Mijimoto, we are also entrusted with this acquisition, and within three days, if your company has not made a decision, we will directly abandon this acquisition!!

"Kenzo Mimoto, the current game market has been occupied by Nintendo's home consoles, and arcade machines are no longer good. Otherwise, if the acquirer decides not to buy your Capcom Co., Ltd., you can imagine what will happen to Capcom Co., Ltd.? I'm afraid that at that time, no one will ask for ...... even if you only sell 10 million dollars."

"Thanks for the reminder, I will give you a reply as soon as possible!" said Qian Ben Xian San!

"Hmm!"

……

The next day, representatives of Goldman Sachs Group came again.

"Kenzo Qianmoto, I have bad news for you!"

Kenzo Qianmoto suddenly chuckled in his heart, and asked a little nervously, "What's the bad thing?"

"That's right, the acquirer found that the arcade market was sluggish, and it seemed that he wanted to give up on the acquisition of Capcom Co., Ltd."

"Gave up the acquisition?!" Kenzo Qianmoto heard this, and his heart was anxious.

"We haven't been officially notified yet, but his patience is gone, and if you still don't agree to be acquired today, then it may be ......"

The representative of Goldman Sachs said this and stopped. Don't say death, leaving a glimmer of leeway, but the meaning is clear to Kenzo Qianmoto!

Kenzo Qianmoto is very entangled in his heart.

"Chairman Kenzo Mimoto, please make a decision! Do you want $100 million or a half-dead company? Actually, it's not a difficult question to choose, isn't it?" said a representative of the Goldman Sachs Group.

"I'm going to make a phone call!" said Kenzo in a low and hoarse voice.

"Please, I'll wait for you outside!!"

Kenzo Kanmoto immediately dialed the number of the marketing manager: "Is there a sales count for "Street Fighter 2" this week, and what is the sales?"

"The statistics are out, although the sales have increased, but the increase is very small?"

Hearing this, his face was a little gloomy, "How much has it increased?!"

"A total of 100 game boards have been added to Japan and the United States!"

"Only so few? more than 300 !! last week"

"There were a lot of reactions from players that the game was not balanced enough and there were a lot of bugs, so ......," the marketing manager whispered.

Kenzo didn't say anything more, "bang", and hung up the phone heavily. Then, he took a deep breath, opened the office door, and walked out.

"Chairman Qianben Kensan, the call is over?" said the representative of Goldman Sachs Group with a smile.

"Yes, it's over!"

"So, what was your decision?"

"I decided to sell Capcom !!"

After Kenzo Qianmoto said this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly felt that a boulder pressing on his body finally fell to the ground......
