Chapter 162: Sega Comes From
Leaving the Green Forest Restaurant, Xu Qing sat in the car returning to the villa, his thoughts fluttering.
There are a total of 71 people on the list given to Trammell, and Xu Qing is very confident in Trammell, believing that at least 60% of them will be persuaded to join the Glory Group.
In fact, many of these people only need a phone call to persuade Trammell, and only a few people need Trammell to meet and convince.
60% of people, that is, at least 42 people, will join the Honor Group, and if some people join, the Honor Group will be able to develop a few more games, and the development progress will be accelerated.
It is expected that by the end of the year, the Honor Group will be able to develop more than 10 games.
Most of these more than 10 games are not masterpieces, the development difficulty is relatively low, and the main focus is on creativity to win, just like electronic pets, the development difficulty is extremely low, but the sales are extremely high.
Xu Qing is confident that these more than 10 games will attract a large number of players, because the ideas of these games are very novel now.
The number of games and the overall game quality of the Honor Group are definitely not comparable to Nintendo, so Xu Qing wants to win by surprise.
Of course, this victory is not to defeat Nintendo, and it is impossible for the current Honor Group to do it.
Xu Qing's goal for the Honor Group's first handheld PC is to gain a firm foothold in the game market and lay the foundation for defeating Nintendo in the future.
……
The next day, Xu Qing came to the Glory Group again.
"Danning, how is the situation of the company?" asked Xu Qing.
"The company is stable, and there are very few people who quit. Denning replied.
"How many third parties of Sega are willing to cooperate with Honor Group?" Xu Qing is very concerned about this issue.
Danning shook his head with a wry smile: "It's not good, only 2 third parties are willing to cooperate with the Honor Group, and only 7 have agreed to meet." ”
"So little!" The situation was beyond Xu Qing's expectations.
"Sega called this morning, and they are willing to help convince a third party to cooperate with the Honor Group, and they want to meet with you. Denning added.
"Sega help convince!Want to meet me!" Xu Qing touched his chin and thought about the true purpose of Sega's meeting with him.
Sega will definitely not selflessly help the Glory Group, and they are not Lei Feng.
In this kind of Nintendo ban, the third party does not cooperate with the Honor Group, Sega actually wants to help persuade the third party, the purpose is definitely not simple.
Do they want to buy Honor Group? Or is it something else that's hard to accept?
Xu Qing was thinking about the various possibilities for Sega to do this, and he needed to know which ones were more probable, so that he would not be completely passive when he met Sega.
"Why do you think Sega helped the Honor Group to convince a third party. Xu Qingdao said.
Denning's experience in the game industry is much deeper than Xu's, and perhaps he can guess Sega's purpose.
Denning was silent for a while, and then said, "Sega must have asked us to agree to some conditions to help convince, and judging from the situation that the company is facing now, their conditions will be very high.
The possibility of acquiring the Honor Group and transferring Atari to them is quite high, and there is also the possibility of transplanting the electronic pet to Sega's handheld.
Others let the Glory Group give Sega a generous financial reward, and the Harry Potter movie copyright is less likely. ”
"Sell Atari to them? Sega needs Atari? If they wanted, they could have bought Atari before, and they didn't have to wait until Honor Group bought Atari and then buy it from Honor Group. Xu Qing was puzzled.
"Sega needs Atari, after all, Atari is the former game overlord, their heritage is still there, there are some technologies, talents are needed by Sega, and there is an important reason that Atari has a great influence on the United States.
And the American game market is very important, if Sega buys Atari, they can use the Atari brand to run the American game market against Nintendo North America.
But why didn't Sega buy Atari, because Atari's previous owner, Trammell, refused to be bought by Sega.
One of Trammell's purpose in acquiring Atari was to use Atari's technology to build computers and take revenge on Komodo.
At that time, Trammell was concentrating on making computers, how could he agree to Sega's acquisition.
And Trammell didn't like Nintendo and Sega, believing that these two companies had seized the American game market and cut off Atari's hopes of recovery.
So now that Atari has been acquired by the Honor Group, the possibility that Sega wants to acquire Atari from the Honor Group is quite high. ”
As a former fan of Atari and a veteran practitioner in the game industry, Denning knows a lot about the relationship between Atari and Sega, and explained the situation to Xu Qing in detail.
Xu Qing pondered for a moment and said, "You reply to Sega, meet at Glory Group at 3 pm tomorrow." ”
No matter what Sega's purpose was, Xu Qing had to meet with them and help persuade the third party to be very attractive to Xu Qing.
……
At 3 o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, in the conference room of Glory Group, Xu Qing was talking with three middle-aged Japanese people.
These 3 Japanese people were sent by Sega to meet Xu Qing, and they looked polite and had the unique humility of Japanese people on their faces.
The two sides exchanged polite words, and Xu Qing said directly: "Mr. Ozawa, I want to know why Sega wants to help the Glory Group convince a third party, what are your conditions?"
Xu Qing didn't want to waste time going around in circles with these people.
The middle-aged Japanese who Xu Qing called Mr. Ozawa was the vice president of Sega North America, and he smiled when he heard Xu Qing's words
"It seems that Mr. Xu is in a hurry, so I'll just say it directly, Nintendo is Sega's biggest enemy, and from the perspective that the enemy's enemy is a friend, now the Glory Group is a friend of Sega.
Nintendo is too arrogant, and the Honor Group just didn't agree to transplant the electronic pet to the GB handheld, and they want to ban the Honor Group.
This approach is extremely detrimental to the development of the global game industry, and if there is a game company that does not listen to Nintendo, they will ban it in the future.
In this way, the global game industry has become a hall of Nintendo's word, they can do whatever they want, and there is room for other game companies to grow!
Game companies all over the world have become vassals of Nintendo!"
When Ozawa said these words, his facial expressions were very exciting and very infectious, but Xu Qing was unmoved.
What's the use of talking about these vain heads, I'm not an idiot, I will get hot when you say a few words casually.
It was correct to quickly say that Sega's conditions were correct, but Xu Qing was not easy to interrupt when Ozawa said that he was invested.
Xu Qing applauded a few times and agreed with Ozawa's words: "Mr. Ozawa, I agree with what you just said, Nintendo is the enemy of the global game industry, but I want to know what Sega's conditions are?"
