"I can sell Taidong to you, but I want to trade half cash and half EA shares. Kogan, who has a bold appearance, finally shows his shrewdness as a businessman.

Sun Zhengyi let out a soft breath, thinking in his heart, it turned out that this person was playing this calculation, so Tang really needed to come forward to express his position.

Thinking of this, Son Masayoshi couldn't help but feel a little worried, even if he was in a high position in EA Japan, he could not completely replace Tang Huan, because there was an insurmountable authority gap between him and the founder who was in the first place.

It seems that SoftBank, which belongs to Sun's, must step up preparations for its creation.

After finishing the acquisition, he officially told Tang that Son had secretly made up his mind.

Tang Huan naturally wouldn't have guessed that he had just been thinking about how to comfort his good partner, but in an instant, he had experienced a delicate mental journey, and he was unwilling to live in the middle of others and made the decision to fly solo.

However, even if he knows, Tang Huan will not make a fuss, character determines fate, he is still relatively clear about the rise of Sun Zhengyi in his previous life, and this is precisely where the value of the other party lies.

"Isn't it good to trade completely in cash, you should know this old saying when you have been in China for so long. Tang Huan made a gesture of thinking about the other party on the surface, but he was thinking quickly in his heart.

It seems that Kogan must have gotten a lot of information about EA on the American side, otherwise he would not have made such a decision.

But the collaborators with shares that Tang Huan chose were all people of great value.

According to the historical trajectory, Kogan will return to the west in 1984, if he gives the other party shares, after all, he is old, he may not be able to continue to adapt to the new situation of the development of the video game industry, not only will his contribution to EA be limited, but he will easily share the benefits of the American game boom in the next two or three years, which is a bit of a loss.

Perhaps, as a Jew, Kogan's network resources are the value worth noting, but he must also be willing to give all of them, and he has to think of ways to remind the other party to pay attention to living longer, and he will hang up in his sixties, and he is a little sorry for the name of capitalist.

"I'm not old enough to take risks. Kogan laughed again.

"After all, Taidong is created by you, there must be special feelings in it, the gentleman does not take the favor of others, EA does not ask for much, as long as you get the controlling stake, you can ensure that you can freely use the various ready-made resources of Taidong to be content. Tang Huan said playfully.

Kogan was slightly stunned, "It's too early to say this question, the transaction method has not yet been decided." ”

"What's the difference between who comes first and who comes last, anyway, everyone's willingness to trade is very strong. Tang Huan spread his hands and asked rhetorically.

"Little fox. Kogan snorted angrily.

"Old fox, everyone is with each other, don't play any more fasting. Tang Huan said disapprerovingly, seeing a look of confusion flashing on the other party's face, he immediately added: "Aren't there a lot of fox spirits in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai". ”

Kogan suddenly laughed, "Okay, I agree, let's talk about the way to trade." ”

"Of course, EA and Taidong are not listed companies, and the valuation of their respective shares depends on the opinions of the wise and the wise. Tang Huan nodded, "I'm going to start bargaining, bargaining, and saying some ugly things." ”

"Listen up. Kogan waved his hands heroically and looked magnificent.

"With all due respect, in the past few decades, in terms of the game entertainment industry, Taidong's performance has been average, and many times it is ServiceGames, the predecessor of Sega, that eats meat, and Taidong drinks soup with him. Taking advantage of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, ServiceGames' sales surpassed the 10 billion yen mark in 1965, and it was not until 1970 that Taito received an award from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry for contributing to export trade for the first time exceeded 5 billion yen in annual exports. ”

Tang Huan ignored Kogan's darkened face, and raised his fingers to calculate, "At that time, the official exchange rate of the yen against the US dollar was fixed at 360:1, that is, there was a gap of five years, and there was still a gap of about 28 million US dollars and 14 million US dollars, and the Xiaobawang game console was sold for more than 100 million US dollars in more than a month in the United States last year. ”

Kogan was just about to open his mouth to refute that there was a problem with the logic, Tang Huan made a slightly calmer gesture, "The current video games increasingly need to use integrated circuits and software programming technology, but Taidong seems to be congenitally deficient in this aspect. Space Invaders, released in 1978, was a smash hit, but unfortunately you sold the adaptation rights to your home console to Atari, and the distribution channel in the United States also had to rely on third-party companies. ”

"Having said so much, Taidong is really bad, what do you buy it for, it doesn't make sense. Kogan looked stupid.

"That was Sun's decision, he seems to have a good impression of Taidong, so I naturally have to respect it. Tang Huan shrugged his shoulders, "Taidong is not useless, at least your vision is very clever, and you have two capable generals under your command, Akio Nakanishi, who is in charge of marketing, and Matsushita Shiren, who is in charge of research and development." Of course, Tomohiro Nishikaku, who developed "Space Invaders", is also very good. ”

"No wonder your reputation in Silicon Valley is so loud, and every opponent will be dissected by you very thoroughly. Kogan shook his head with interest, "Give me a good word, can you trade the way I asked?"

"Of course. Tang Huan gave an affirmative answer, and then stared at each other sharply, "Both Taidong and EA can reserve a position as a director for you, but I want you to quit Taidong's management and come to my Shennong Foundation as a consultant, and the proceeds of that undersea treasure are in its name." ”

"You're going to eat me until I don't have any bones left. Kogan muttered with a wry smile on his face.

"Proficient in six languages, traveling all over Europe, Asia and North America, such a rich experience, just staying in Taidong or even Japan, is inevitably humiliating. Tang Huan complimented Kogan.

Seeing that the other party was silent, as if he was considering the stakes, Tang Huan guessed that Kogan was moved, but he had belittled him too harshly before, and the old man still couldn't get down on his face.

"How's the dinner going, How's the dinner going, I'm going to feast on Mr. Kogan. Tang Huan asked loudly.

"Had a call to the restaurant arranged. Zhao Yazhi walked to the door of the reception room and replied.

"Well, I happen to be hungry too. Kogan smiled.

Tang Huan nodded secretly, since the other party agreed to eat together, it means that he basically agreed, as for the specific details, it will be handed over to Son Zhengyi, I believe that after he has dealt with the entire acquisition process, the resentment of being played by the old man Kogan should also be gone.

I have to admire, old Kogan's experience is really not blown, and everyone at the dinner party listened to him chatter and talk about all kinds of anecdotes, which is much more interesting than any storytelling and talk show.

Regarding business, the two sides did not talk about it at the dinner table, but the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

After setting a time to visit Taidong tomorrow, Kogan said goodbye, Tang Huan looked at all kinds of bright lights, and said to Sun Zhengyi: "This old man has a lot of experience, he can write a book, and it is really not easy for a Jew to gain a firm foothold in the mainstream Japanese society." ”

Masayoshi Son nodded and shifted the topic to work, "After transferring this cunning old man away, it should be easier for EA Japan to integrate Taidong's resources." ”

"Try to be willing in all aspects, you just have to do it. Tang Huan chose to continue to delegate power and personally sent Son to the car.

For Tang Huan's consistent corporal Lixian, Son Zhengyi was still very moved in his heart, but he wanted to spread his wings and fly high.

"We must complete this acquisition beautifully. Once again, Son made up his mind.

……

Tang Huan returned to the guest room and found that Zhao Yazhi had finished taking a shower and was combing his hair in front of the mirror. The beauty comes out of the bath, and there is an amazing scenery of its own

Tang Huan walked into the bathroom, washed up, and talked in the air, discussing the choice of sightseeing spots with Zhao Yazhi.

After he finished cleaning his personal hygiene and returned to the bedroom, Zhao Yazhi teased: "The discussion is so detailed, I don't know if I have time to go." ”

"Of course, just squeeze it. Tang Huan stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhao Yazhi's chest.

"I don't want to fall into the clutches of the devil. Zhao Yazhi smiled and turned away, but was directly pressed under Tang Huan.

"Tsk, Ah Zhi, I have discovered a phenomenon, as long as you are not in Xiangjiang, your interest is very high, and it has flooded Jinshan. Tang Huan smiled proudly.

"Nonsense. Zhao Yazhi pinched the tender flesh on Tang Huan's waist in shame, but was hit with a retaliatory blow, and soon his eyes became confused.

……

Taidong's headquarters are located in Shinjuku, Tokyo, and Tang Huan, who is more knowledgeable than Kogan, lost interest in listening to the other party's boasting of his great achievements, and asked Son to deal with this lotus mouth Jew, while he accompanied Zhao Yazhi on sightseeing.

By the evening of the next day, they had arrived in Osaka.

Yasukawa Hideaki has already made a good stop and arranged the relevant matters related to the visit to Sharp.

Tang Huan naturally didn't indulge in gentleness and forgot about business, he took a serious look at the latest information about Sharp.

There's a classic movie line that says, "Be closer to your friend, but closer to your enemy, so you can get to know him better." ”

This is the case with Tang Huan's attitude towards Japanese companies, where he has always been careful in choosing local partners.

Doing big IT business can't get around Japan, and in Japan, the chaebol can't get around, such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Motors, Mitsubishi Electric and other companies with obvious marks, and NEC, Toshiba, Nikon, etc., which do not have prefixes, also belong to this category.

Although the United States allowed Japan to carry out a round of zaibatsu disintegration after World War II, it was not complete, and the three largest chaebols: Mitsubishi zaibatsu, Mitsui zaibatsu, and Sumitomo zaibatsu still exist openly or implicitly.

For example, unlike the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu before the war, which was centered on the Mitsubishi Headquarters, the Mitsubishi Group was formed by the Mitsubishi Group after the war, but its cohesion was stronger than that of other conglomerates.

In 1954, the presidents and chairmen of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu's major companies, who were still disconnected, began to form informal organizations such as the Mitsubishi Kim Yao Association in order to exchange information and connect with each other.

It can be said that during the period of rapid economic growth in Japan, the core enterprises within the Mitsubishi Group greatly promoted the development of Japan's heavy industry and chemical industry.

Therefore, in the eyes of the Japanese and Asian countries, the Mitsubishi chaebol still maintains the image of supporting Japan's core military and defense enterprises.

The strategic importance of the increasingly powerful microcomputers, and the later emergence of the Internet, was self-evident and naturally attracted the covetousness of the plutocracy.

Tang Huan has seen the figure of the chaebol in Japan's six major semiconductors in the previous procurement bidding process, and Sharp, who has a civilian background, is very rare, at least after in-depth cooperation with each other, it will be relatively easy to prevent trade secrets, power infiltration, etc.

This is the main reason why Tang Huan has always shown goodwill to Sharp, and the other party has also actively interacted, after all, the more than 20 million US dollars that were obviously taken care of from that purchase order accounted for a significant proportion of Sharp Semiconductor's annual sales.

So, Tang Huan came to Osaka in the name of OEM digital fax machine and met with the senior management of Sharp.
