452 [I'd rather die than sell]

After meeting with everyone in Square Enix's game development department, Summer smiled and said a little impatiently, "Can I take a look at the finished Zombie Family" game?"

"Of course, please. Masashi Miyamoto smiled, and then led everyone into his office, where he saw a TV on the table. The TV was connected to Nintendo's red and white machine, and an unpackaged, completely naked game cartridge was inserted into it.

Summer is no stranger to this scene, when he was a child, he also played the red and white machine in the same school, and it was exactly the same as the scene in front of him.

Masashi Miyamoto then turned on the TV, turned on the red and white machine, and soon the game appeared on the TV.

Summer looked at it seriously and found that the original Square Enix's "Zombie Family" was a side-scrolling action game, similar to Double Dragon, Kombat Whirlwind, etc., but the "monster" changed from a ruffian to a zombie.

The story of the game is set that on a certain day, a certain doctor found three zombies from a cave, and accidentally opened a spell to free the zombies, and the male and female zombies immediately made havoc in the city. The player must destroy these two zombies in time, or the entire city will be destroyed by the zombies. The player has two characters to choose from, and the image is probably based on himself and Lin Zhengying, one wearing a Taoist robe and the other wearing a power suit. Needless to say, the one in the power suit is himself. It's a pity that the red and white machine is an eight-bit machine with limited pixels, so the facial features can't be seen clearly at all, which makes summer a little regretful.

"Ah Tian, this is you in a strong suit, so cute. Hu Huizhong leaned into the summer ear and laughed softly.

Summer cried and laughed, "It's just such a big villain, I can't even see my face clearly, where is it cute?"

"All in all lovely. Hu Huizhong said undoubtedly, "I'll buy a copy of the game and bring it back when I go back, and then I'll control you, so that you can go east and west, and let you go west and west." ”

"......" Summer looked at her speechlessly.

"Xia San, do you want to do it practically?" Hironobu Sakaguchi suggested.

I haven't touched a red and white machine in at least 20 years in the summer, and when I see it now, I can't help but feel a little itchy, "Okay, I'll try it." ”

He chose the character wearing a robe - Uncle Nine, and then the picture flashed, and Uncle Nine came to the street.

At this moment, on the street, there are already people who have been bitten by zombies, and they have a venomous attack on Uncle Jiu.

Uncle Nine has two tricks to defeat the enemy, one is to use glutinous rice as a long-range attack to remove the corpse poison from people and bring them back to life. The other is to use the peachwood sword to make a melee attack, which can directly kill people infected with corpse poison. Those who are poisoned by glutinous rice will give points to express their gratitude, while those who are directly killed by the Momoki Sword will not.

Summer manipulated Uncle Nine to get through the first three levels all the way, to be honest, the fight is still relatively refreshing, but the monster type is a little monotonous.

When it came to the fourth level, Summer met the boss, who was the assistant of the doctor who was the first to be bitten to death by zombies. Because he is more infected, glutinous rice can only repel him but cannot remove the corpse poison on his body. And the peachwood sword slashed at him, and the blood bar was also reduced very little.

In the summer, he was accidentally swept by the BOSS and immediately knocked off half of the blood. He hurriedly dodged, but in the end he was still a step slower and was directly hit by the boss.

"Alas, what a pity!" Hu Huizhong couldn't help but sigh.

When she was playing games in the summer just now, she was pinching a cold sweat on the side, and she couldn't wait to go up and help him play. Now seeing that he lost, she immediately came to Xia, "Ah Tian, don't be sad, play another game, you will definitely win." ”

"No need. It's just a game, you don't have to take it seriously, and it's not like I can't afford to lose. Summer smiled and waved her hand. He just wanted to try the feel of this game, and after playing it, he felt that although it was not as good as the classic side-scrolling action games such as Double Dragon and Kombat Whirlwind, it was at least a qualified product.

"Does Xia Sang still want to continue playing? There are still five levels ahead. Hironobu Sakaguchi asked with a smile.

"No need. Summer waved his hand and said, "Taste the ding, you will know the taste of meat." I think this game is still good. ”

"Thank you Xia Sang for the compliment, and we also hope to be able to sell a good sales. Masashi Miyamoto nodded and said, "Otherwise, our game development department will be in danger of being laid off." ”

Hironobu Sakaguchi and Hiromichi Tanaka also had awe-inspiring expressions on their faces. This is the sad way for small companies, where a game development fails and an existential crisis is in danger. On the other hand, if it is a large game company such as Namco and Capcom, because of the abundant funds, even if a game development fails, it will only hurt the bones at most.

When Summer heard this, she was stunned. He knows how powerful Square Enix's "Final Fantasy" series is, not only games, but also movies, and even online games, which are quite popular. It would be a shame if it were disbanded.

"Why don't I take over this game company. Summer thought to himself, he had played a lot of red and white games back then, and it wasn't difficult to contribute a few ideas to make Square Enix money.

Later, the video game industry was worth 100 billion US dollars, higher than the film industry (62 billion US dollars) and the music industry (1 billion US dollars) combined, and became the leading leader of the entertainment industry. Of course, such a large piece of cake cannot be missed.

Moreover, the video game industry, the film industry, and the music industry are also closely linked, and if they complement each other, it will be a win-win situation. I have already made moves in film and music, and if I get involved in the game industry again, I will be able to benefit greatly from the fact that the troika will go hand in hand and complement each other's strengths. At the same time, I can also be able to "entertain the whole world" by myself beforehand.

"If you can't keep it running, I'd like to take over the game development department. Summer smiled slightly, "When the time comes, you can work for me, and I will fund you to develop the game." ”

The three of them were all taken aback when they heard him say this. There are those who are surprised, there are those who are shocked, and there are those who are speechless.

Hiromichi Tanaka was the most pleasantly surprised. He himself is a fan of the summer and admires his talent. If you can work for him, it's too late to be happy, so how can you refuse.

Hironobu Sakaguchi was shocked, he didn't expect that Summer would be interested in acquiring Square Enix, which was really unexpected.

Because Square Enix's game development department is only a very small department, all the staff can be counted in the palm of one hand, which is really shabby.

And from its inception to the present, Square Enix has not developed an influential work. Among the many game companies in Japan, they all belong to the category of obscurity.

So he really didn't expect Summer to be interested in it, and he was really surprised. But after the surprise, Hironobu Sakaguchi couldn't help but feel excited.

The so-called back to the big tree is good for the shade.

Square Enix didn't scale up because of a lack of funding. After all, the parent company, Dianyousha, is only a small electrical appliance manufacturer, and it is unable to support a huge game development department.

If it can inject capital in the summer, Square will grow rapidly, and then it will not only continue to operate, but also grow and develop. Becoming one of Japan's top game developers is just around the corner!

Masashi Miyamoto was a little speechless, but he didn't expect that the summer would plan to buy his game development department, so wouldn't he be a wolf into the house?

Square Enix, despite its small scale and lack of major titles, is one of the most obscure of Japan's game companies, and is in danger of disbanding at any time.

But after all, this company was funded by his father, but as long as he can run it, he doesn't want to let it go. Besides, if you work for others, how can you work for yourself.

"Xia San, even if this game development department can't survive, I won't sell it. Masashi Miyamoto said solemnly.

Summer smiled slightly. It's okay if Masashi Miyamoto doesn't want to sell it, anyway, all he wants is people. If it weren't for Hironobu Sakaguchi's face, let alone buying this game company, even if he gave it away with both hands, he wouldn't have taken it over.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Miyamoto, I didn't know it was so important to you. "Actually, I didn't mean anything, I just wanted to help." ”

Masashi Miyamoto nodded, and swore again, "I appreciate Xia San's kindness, but this game development department was founded by my father, and I would rather die than sell it." ”

Seeing that his attitude was so resolute, Hironobu Sakaguchi, Hiromichi Tanaka and others had a look of regret.

Although they also have a deep affection for Square Enix, they came here to work before graduating from college, and they have struggled together for countless **** nights. But in comparison, it is your own future that is more important.

Moreover, for Square Enix, if he can take over from the summer, it is indeed better than staying in the electric friends club. After all, Dianyousha is just a small electrical appliance company, but Summer is a super-rich man with assets of nearly 10 billion yen.

It is a great pity that this thing, which is good for the company and the employees, cannot be done because of the minister's obsession.

"Okay, forget it. Natsu said with a smile, he had already noticed the expressions of Hironobu Sakaguchi and Hiromichi Tanaka, and knew that they were interested in his acquisition. In that case, there is no need to be verbose with Masashi Miyamoto. If he doesn't sell it at that time, he will directly bypass him and contact Hironobu Sakaguchi and others.

"I wonder how tomorrow's propaganda will be done?" he said, diverting the subject.

Masashi Miyamoto was also relieved to see that Summer did not insist on the acquisition, and then explained to Summer.

"Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock, Shochiku Hotel. We've made an appointment with reporters. When they heard that you could come, they were all very enthusiastic and responded positively. Masashi Miyamoto said.

In fact, without Summer's involvement, it would have been difficult for him to gather reporters. (To be continued.) )
