Chapter 675: Nintendo Arrives (1/5, Subscription Requested)
Seek skin with the tiger and die instantly!
Hiroshi Yamauchi chose to seek skin with the tiger after all, because only by living, can there be hope to turn over, and if he chooses to die immediately, then he will no longer have any hope of turning over.
In another time and space, even in the era of mobile games, Nintendo, as a company in the game industry, is still the second company in terms of cash reserves. If Rongle doesn't take advantage of this opportunity to invest in Nintendo, there will be no chance in the future.
Nintendo is now only broken in the capital chain, and because Dynasty Games is pressing step by step in the Toei game market, Toei's banking industry cannot see Nintendo's chance of turning around.
In addition, Nintendo already had a large loan in the bank because of the development of handheld consoles and home game consoles, so now there is no bank in Toei that will lend to Nintendo.
But Nintendo still has one aspect that Rongle appreciates very much, that is, the reserve of their R&D personnel is definitely one of the best among Toei game companies, and of course, Nintendo's own sales channels, which are not available to ordinary game companies in Toei. Originally, Rong Le was thinking about waiting for Nintendo to go bankrupt and take over Nintendo's R&D personnel, but he thought of those Dongying game companies who were staring at Nintendo like himself.
Rongle thinks that it is more appropriate to directly invest in Nintendo, and Yamauchi Hiroshi himself is a business genius in the game industry, coupled with his best partner Yokoi Junhei, the two can rise again as long as they have the slightest chance, and it is indeed a pity that Rongle gives up such a piece of fat.
And for Hiroshi Yamauchi, he also knows that Nintendo wants to turn over, and the bank loan that presses on them is a major pressure, and their self-developed handheld consoles and home game consoles have no way to go on the market because of patent problems. If it goes public, it will face a lawsuit from Dynasty Games, which will be a huge amount of compensation, and Nintendo can't afford it now.
But Hiroshi Yamauchi has a keen eye for the potential of home game consoles, and it is definitely going to replace arcade games in the future, and Hiroshi Yamauchi wants to develop game console games, but in this case, he must deal with Dynasty Games.
Before coming to Xiangjiang, Yamauchi Hiroshi also sought help from the same industry, but everyone's meaning is similar to Rongle, and he must have a stake in Nintendo, and now Nintendo is fat on the chopping board, and anyone wants to take a bite.
Since they are all about cooperation, it is natural to seek the most powerful partner.
In the end, Yamauchi agreed to Rongle's proposal to take a stake in Nintendo, and Dynasty Games will invest in Nintendo in cash and bear a part of Nintendo's bank debt.
If Nintendo can't control Nintendo, Rongle will definitely not take a stake in Nintendo, and the two sides negotiated for two days because of this matter.
Until the last day, Rong Le proposed that Dynasty Games must control Nintendo, but will not participate in the management of Nintendo, Yamauchi Hiroshi still holds the position of Nintendo's president, but Rong Le cannot let Yamauchi Hiroshi take full charge of Nintendo, so he added a supervisory authority, for which Yamauchi Hiroshi also knew that this was the best way.
Of course, after the talks, it is impossible for Rongle to sign the contract directly, because the current Nintendo belongs to the listed company of Toei, and Nintendo belongs to the family business, although it has been listed, but most of the equity is still held in the family of Yamauchi Hiroshi.
There are less than 30% of the stocks circulating in the stock market, coupled with a series of unfavorable news from Nintendo, Nintendo's stock price has fallen to its lowest point, and if there is no white knight, Nintendo's high-quality stock will very likely become a junk stock.
If Rongle took the lead in signing a contract with Yamauchi Hiroshi, then after the news came back to Dongying, Nintendo's stock price would definitely rise, and at that time, Rongle would have spent a huge price if he wanted to acquire some scattered shares in the stock market, which was obviously inappropriate.
After making a verbal agreement with Hiroshi Yamauchi, Rong Le quickly called Xu Yunchang and asked him to quickly acquire Nintendo's shares within two days, and buy as many as he could.
At the same time, Shigeru Miyamoto was sent to accompany Hiroshi Yamauchi to visit the Dynasty Games, and try to delay him until the news, so as to prevent Yamauchi from selling his shares to cash out after knowing that someone had bought Nintendo's shares.
One day is enough, and even if Hiroshi Yamauchi knows that Rongle is buying Nintendo's scattered shares in the evening, Rongle must have acquired a lot of loose shares in the market at that time, and at that time, it will be too late for Yamauchi to think about making a move.
In the era when Rongle was reborn, Nintendo's market value reached an astonishing $55 billion, but that was the normal development trajectory of Nintendo without Rongle appearing, and now since Rongle appeared, all of Nintendo's fist products have basically been developed in advance by Rongle, so Nintendo's current market value is not high, only about $100 million.
However, Nintendo's debt was as high as 70 million US dollars at this time, and such an unhealthy debt ratio was also the reason why Yamauchi had to agree to Rongle's shareholding.
The negotiation between Rongle and Yamauchi Hiroshi is that Rongle will assume Nintendo's debt of 70 million US dollars as a condition in exchange for 51% of Nintendo's shares, which will undoubtedly top Nintendo's market value to 140 million US dollars, not only that, Rongle also promised that after obtaining a controlling stake in Nintendo, Rongle will also invest 30 million US dollars in research and development funds for Nintendo.
In this way, Nintendo, developing new games for home consoles, got this investment of 100 million US dollars, and Nintendo can be regarded as avoiding this bankruptcy crisis.
That night, when Hiroshi Yamauchi returned to the hotel where he was staying, he immediately picked up the phone and called Toei.
"As soon as the market opens tomorrow, we will go all out to buy the loose shares of our company in circulation on the stock market!" Hirokashi Yamauchi doesn't care what time it is, now he has reached an agreement with Rongle, as long as the news of Nintendo's acquisition by Dynasty Games comes back to Dongying, then Nintendo's stock price will definitely rise rapidly, and if you can acquire the equity of some companies at this time, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
"President, at about ten o'clock this morning, someone suddenly listed to buy our company's scattered shares, we didn't contact you at that time, and didn't know how to deal with it, some shareholders of the company saw someone buy shares, thinking that the company has no future, and sold a lot. ”
Airplanes!
The secretary's words made Yamauchi Hiroshi like a lightning strike, don't think about it, this must be Rong Le's handiwork, it seems that he is not ready to keep any oil and water for himself!
"What is the price of the other party's purchase?"
"Before the market closed, the price of Nintendo's share increased by 20%. ”
"Okay, tomorrow when the market opens, let's go all out to buy our company's shares, as much as you can!" Yamauchi said gloomily.
