Chapter 113: Return to San Francisco
Xu Qing didn't wait long, and the next morning, Tajiri called to tell Xu Qing that he had promised Xu Qing to buy GameFreak.
Xu Qing came to GameFreak again, this time with a little frustration on Tajiri's face, while Ayuji Hara and the other employees had excited looks on their faces.
They have reason to be excited, Xu Qing is worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and GameFreak Club is acquired by Xu Qing, so they will definitely be able to get sufficient funds, and their treatment and development prospects will be better.
Tajiri has reason to be frustrated, and the GameFreak club, which he founded with his own hands, is about to no longer belong to him, which is very uncomfortable.
Xu Qing doesn't want Tajiri to leave GameFreak, he is the soul of "Pokemon", and without him there would be no "Pokemon".
Xu Qing immediately reassured Tajiri: "You can rest assured, the affairs of GameFreak Club are completely up to you, and you still have 20% of the shares." ”
Tajiri was in a better mood when he heard Xu Qing's words, and said with a smile: "With Mr. Xu's financial support, GameFreak Club will definitely be able to develop rapidly, and the development of "Pokemon" will also be successful soon." ”
The acquisition negotiations went smoothly and the time was short, the GameFreak club was too small, and Xu Qing used $2 million to directly stun Tajiri Zhi.
Xu Qing accounted for 80% of the shares, Tajiri Tomo held 20% of the shares, and GameFreak became a subsidiary of Honor Games.
Then Xu Qing asked GameFreak to move its office to Jingdong City, which is now too shabby.
Then Xu Qing asked Tajiri to recruit people as soon as possible and go all out to develop "Pokemon".
Tajiri only now realizes that Xu Qing is likely to buy GameFreak because of "Pokemon".
He was a little strange why Xu Qing was optimistic about "Pokemon", he had no confidence in this game that had not been developed for a long time.
And the first thing Xu Qing did after acquiring GameFreak Club was to let him go all out to develop "Rations Monster".
Tajiri couldn't hold back his character, and asked Xu Qing directly: "Mr. Xu, why are you so optimistic about "Pokemon"?"
"Because Pokemon is a great game idea, I love it and think it can be a big hit. Xu Qing said with a smile.
Tajiri Zhi agrees with Xu Qing's words, the idea of "Pokemon" was provided by him, and Xu Qing's praise of this idea is equivalent to praising him, how could he not agree.
Xu Qing gave a speech to the employees of GameFreak, boiled a thick chicken soup, and then talked to Tajiri in the office about increasing investment.
"Pokemon" could not have been developed with the current personnel of GameFreak Club alone, not because of the money, but because of the technology.
In the previous life, "Pokemon" Nintendo gave GameFreak a lot of technical support, and it took more than a year to develop.
Xu Qing also needs to find a lot of game technical talents to help Tajiri develop Pokemon.
However, there is a problem with this, the salary of game technical talents is very high, and now the assets of GameFreak Club are only a few million dollars, and only a few game technical talents can be paid.
The solution is for Xu Qing to increase his investment in GameFreak, but Tajiri's stake will be diluted.
Xu Qing is not sure if Tajiri will agree to increase his investment, although he can force him to increase investment, but Tajiri does not agree, and the two will have a conflict.
"You know that the current level of personnel at GameFreak is not enough to develop Pokemon, and we must recruit more high-level game technical talents.
And their salaries are very high, and the current GameFreak club can't afford to support a few high-level game technicians.
So I want to increase my investment in GameFreak, but this will dilute your stake, what do you think?" Xu Qing asked Tajiri.
Tajiri is also entangled, if you want to develop "Pokemon", there must be many high-level game technical talents to develop it together.
But now he only has 20% of the shares, and if he dilutes it, is there any difference between him and a part-time worker?
"I can guarantee that at least 5% of your shares will not be diluted, and if you think about it from another perspective, if GameFreak is a company with assets of hundreds of millions of dollars, 5% of the shares are also tens of millions of dollars.
I can give you one more assurance, in the next three years, the assets of GameFreak Club will not fall below $100 million. ”
Tajiri's breathing became short, in the next three years, he can become a millionaire of tens of millions of dollars? Tajiri nodded with difficulty and agreed to Xu Qing's investment.
Tajiri agreed, and the rest was simple.
The GameFreak club will play a major role in Xu Qing's future competition with Nintendo, and "Pokemon" will become an important weapon in Xu Qing's hands.
So Xu Qing gave Tajiri some suggestions for the development of "Pokemon", and when he heard it, Tajiri's eyes widened, and some of Xu Qing's suggestions made him suddenly brightened, and he immediately praised Xu Qing's game vision again and again.
Xu Qing is not embarrassed, these suggestions are the successful experience of "Pokemon" in the previous life, and saying it can reduce detours.
After chatting with Tajiri for a while, Xu Qing left the GameFreak club.
All the things that should be done in Japan were done, and it was time to return to San Francisco, and that night, Xu Qing and the three of them took a plane back to San Francisco.
Carlyle was a little disappointed that she didn't meet the same flight attendant as she did last time.
Carlyle was a bit masochistic, and the more he ignored him, the more he had to go up and put it in his face.
Xu Qing was speechless about Carlyle's behavior and decided to return to San Francisco to give him a profound abuse.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, after more than 10 hours of travel, Xu Qing and the three finally returned to San Francisco.
Danning came to the airport to pick up Xu Qing and the three people, and by the way, they chatted about the sale of electronic pets in the car.
Now that the sales channels of electronic pets are all in place, 8 toy companies are also making full efforts to manufacture electronic pets.
At present, the things of electronic pets are going very well, but the real difficulty is the piracy of electronic pets after they are released.
In the previous life, countless companies pirated electronic pets, and Bandai Company could not stop it at all, and was tired of fighting lawsuits with these pirated companies, but the effect was very poor.
Xu Qing thought of some ways to stop piracy, but he was not sure if it worked, and even if it did, it was impossible to be completely free of piracy.
The profit margin of electronic pets is too high, and there are many people who are excited.
Xu Qing returned to the villa, Heidou excitedly circled around Xu Qing, he hadn't seen him for many days, Heidou missed Xu Qing very much.
When he was in Japan, Xu Qing would also communicate with Black Bean on the phone, well, Xu Qing used English, and Black Bean used dog language.
After taking a plane for more than 10 hours, Xu Qing's spirit was a little tired, and he lay directly on the bed to sleep, and when he woke up, it was already 6 o'clock in the evening.
Xu Qing came to the living room, saw Carlyle sitting on the sofa, and said, "Carlyle, go to Ark's Bar tonight." ”
"Oh, no, I don't want to go to Ark's Bar. Carlyle immediately protested loudly.
However, it didn't work, Xu Qing had already decided to let Carlyle go to Ark's Bar to be abused.
