Japan, Kyoto, in a conference room of Nintendo, Nintendo President Yamauchi Pu and a group of Nintendo shareholders and key executives sat together and watched the big screen in the conference room.

Like the big screen of Microsoft's corporate meeting, the big screen of Nintendo's conference room at this time shows real-time data of Xu Qing's dinner auction amount.

The auction amount is $1836952.

Yamauchi knocked on the table, and the shareholders who were watching the big screen turned to look at Yamauchi.

Yamauchi said: "It has only been more than half an hour since the auction started, and the auction amount has reached more than 1.8 million US dollars, and the competition is more fierce than we thought before, do you have anything to say?"

After the information about Xu Qing's dinner came out, Nintendo's shareholders and core executives also held a meeting to discuss whether to take pictures of Xu Qing's dinner and how much money to take out to shoot it.

The result of the discussion was that Xu Qing's dinner needed to be filmed and $10 million should be taken out to shoot it.

The reason why Nintendo also wanted to participate in the auction of Xu Qing's dinner was because it wanted to glorify the company's shares.

Honor is now the world's largest game company, and in the field of handhelds, Honor is not as good as Nintendo, after all, Nintendo's Super Mario and other classics are too classic.

Although Honor also has classic handheld titles such as Pokemon, Nintendo's heritage is deeper, and there are more classics than Honor.

But the gaming industry isn't just about handheld games, it's also about consoles, computer games, and more.

In the two gaming fields of consoles and computer games, Honor is a well-deserved hegemon.

Sony's PS consoles have been suppressed by Honor, not to mention Nintendo console games, which even Sony can't match, are completely suppressed by Honor.

And in the world of computer games, uh, well, Nintendo didn't make computer games at all.

With the popularization of computers and the development of the Internet, more and more people use computers to play games.

Computer games such as Warcraft and Diablo under Honor have taken the world by storm.

Many Nintendo users are attracted to Honor's computer games.

Nintendo has done a statistic that more than 87% of Nintendo users have played Honor's computer games.

21% of those users spend more time on Honor's PC games than Nintendo games.

For all gaming companies, user time is the most important thing.

If a user spends little time on your company's gaming product, then that user will slowly abandon your company's gaming product.

If there are a lot of users who are like this, then your company's gaming products will decline quickly.

There is only so much time for users, and it is preempted by Honor's computer games, and Nintendo is in a tragedy.

Although Honor's handheld games are also influenced by computer games, they are a family and it doesn't matter at all.

Nintendo is different, handheld games are Nintendo's life, and if handheld games completely decline, Nintendo will also be about to go out of business.

But Nintendo couldn't develop a computer game, so Yamauchi wanted to buy a stake in Honor.

Honor's growth potential is clearly greater than Nintendo's, and it is worth acquiring a stake in Honor.

Sooner or later, handheld games will also decline, and the future is the world of computer games.

However, Nintendo had a very big feud with Xu Qing before, and Nintendo once banned Glory Company.

Although the blockade was not successful, the feud between the two sides has been concluded.

Yamauchi is of course well aware of the hatred between them and the Glory Company, but he believes that there are no eternal enemies in the mall, only eternal interests.

Over the years, Xu Qing's strength has become stronger and stronger, and he has not dealt with Nintendo.

If Xu Qing dealt with Nintendo with death, Nintendo's life would definitely be very sad now.

Yamauchi Pu wanted to take pictures of Xu Qing's dinner, and then Yamauchi Pu personally attended Xu Qing's dinner and reached a settlement with Xu Qing.

He didn't want to buy Honor's shares at dinner, but first reached a settlement, and then slowly bought Honor's shares.

Originally, Yamauchi Pu and other shareholders of Nintendo, the core executives discussed and decided to spend $10 million to auction Xu Qing's dinner.

They all felt that $10 million was a lot, enough to be filmed.

But now only half an hour after the auction started, the auction amount has reached more than 1.8 million US dollars.

How can $10 million be enough?

Shigeru Miyamoto, who is second only to Yamauchi and known as the father of Mario, was the first to speak in Nintendo's position:

"Obviously, the auction price will definitely exceed $10 million, and it is expected to be at least $20 million. The $10 million plan that we had before may have to change, and I think it needs to be increased to $20 million. ”

Genhiro Takeda, Nintendo's director of development, was the second to speak: "I also think that we need to raise the auction amount to $20 million, and this time I will compete with the world's business powers.

Xu Qing owns the Future Group, TH Group, and Sunlight Group, which are all very high-quality companies, and many big forces want shares in these groups.

Because after Xu Qing's daughter was born, Xu Qing had almost no contact with business people, and those big forces had no chance to contact Xu Qing.

And this Xu Qing dinner is a very good opportunity to contact Xu Qing, they will definitely not let go, they are strong, and the price will definitely exceed 10 million US dollars, or even more than 20 million US dollars. ”

Genyo Takeda's analysis silenced everyone in the conference room, this time they were competing with business forces from all over the world, and there were too many business forces that were stronger than Nintendo.

In fact, Nintendo's shareholders, including Pu Yamauchi, and the core executives all know that the possibility of photographing Xu Qing's dinner this time is very low.

But they still want to shoot, just to leave a good impression on Xu Qing.

Because the names of the top 100 bidders will be displayed on the auction website.

Yamauchi Pu They didn't know if Xu Qing would go to see this list, but they tried their best to get a high ranking.

In this way, the probability of being noticed by Xu Qing is greater, and the impression on Xu Qing is also better.

Of course, if you can use $10 million to photograph Xu Qing's dinner, it will naturally be the best.

If Yamauchi knew that Microsoft's initial goal was to use $20 million to shoot Xu Qing's dinner.

Yamauchi Pu: They will not hold out the hope of successfully photographing Xu Qing's dinner.

They are hesitant to shoot even $20 million, and Microsoft's initial goal is $20 million.

If they knew that Bill Gates and several other Microsoft shareholders had decided to spend more than $40 million on the auction, they would have been even more desperate.

After more than two hours of heated debate, Yamauchi finally made the final decision, and the auction amount increased to 20 million US dollars.

Yamauchi thought to himself, even if 20 million US dollars can't shoot Xu Qing's dinner, the ranking can at least enter the top 20.

When Xu Qing's dinner auction ended, Yamauchi Pu saw the results and looked up to the sky and sighed, he was too naïve.
