Volume 1 Campus Storm Chapter 32 Acquisition of Magic Baby
The next day, Zhao Chenfeng took Li Sanjin and others directly to ENIX company, ENIX is different from the previous wemade company, enix company was established in 1975, and in 1986 produced "Dragon Quest", the series is also known as one of the best-selling longevity game series in game history, and is known as the "national RPG" in Japan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But now it's 2001, ENIX company doesn't have the prestige it had at the beginning, it has not paid attention to technology investment for a long time, and it can't cope with the huge risk of host changes, which makes ENIX like a boat in a huge wave, fluctuating, coupled with the fact that the research and development cycle of the flagship work "Dragon Quest" is getting longer and longer and its own technical strength is insufficient, which makes the company fall into the capital chain is about to break, so Zhao Chenfeng also took this opportunity to quickly acquire "Magic Baby".
This time, Zhao Chenfeng did not find the chairman of Enix to talk about it, Japanese game companies are different from other countries, they all plan the game by the producer of the game, and then outsource it to the studio for art and programming in the form of a contract, so there are three different stages of development of Magic Baby. Due to the changes of different studios, the final 4.0 has a mixed reputation of the painting style, Zhao Chenfeng does not plan to follow the old path of a magic baby, after all, every player can't accept the change in the painting style of the game they play, including the lol of the previous life, and the change of the hero's shape will also cause players to be disgusted at first.
Zhao Chenfeng and the others soon met the producer of the magic baby-Yosuke Saito, Yosuke Saito's name is also interesting, just like the name of a Japanese artist, with such a small population in Japan, the probability of having a duplicate name is not low.
When he saw the deity, Zhao Chenfeng was also taken aback by the appearance of the other party, and the Japanese in his impression were all with a stiff face, a mustache, and they shouted Baga and Baga when they had nothing to do (from the anti-Japanese drama), but the impression that the man in front of him gave Zhao Chenfeng was indeed extremely kind. Chubby cheeks, with a pair of black-framed glasses, a thirty-year-old man, with a general's belly, walks with a tigerish style, probably because he is busy with game production, his chin is full of stubble, and he looks a little sloppy with two dark circles under his eyes.
Yosuke Saito also looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, he had seen Zhao Chenfeng's information before, he successfully represented the legend in the mainland, and relied on the legend to successfully earn 300 million yen, which was a miracle for a boy who was only fourteen years old, so he didn't underestimate it. In addition, Yosuke Saito is a game producer, and the company's games are constantly being sold around the world, so there is no dislike for China, on the contrary, he is still pro-China. This is also one of the reasons why Zhao Chenfeng is willing to come to Japan for negotiations, if he is a Japanese right-winger, the ghost will come from the mainland, and it will be friendly if he meets or not.
"Hello Mr. Zhao! I'm Yosuke Saito, the Game Production Manager at ENIX. Yosuke Saito was the first to break the silence and stretched out his hand to greet Zhao Chenfeng.
"Mr. Saito, you look a little haggard, are you treated so badly by Enix? Will there also be a squeeze on employee labor? Zhao Chenfeng teased Saito, Saito is not an ordinary small employee, he is responsible for the planning of "Magic Baby", and he is also the planner of the "Dragon Quest" series, which is equivalent to the boss of the game department.
Saito listened to Zhao Chenfeng's ridicule and shook his head with a wry smile: "Although the magic baby has entered the late stage now and will be available soon, the company still puts the main event on the Dragon Quest series, so I have to do two jobs a day." ”
After saying that, Saito was a little angry in his heart, Magic Baby is a game that he is quite optimistic about, but the old stubborn above is still inclined to the Dragon Quest series, otherwise Zhao Chenfeng will not be allowed to come to buy it. It is hoped that the funds from the sale of Magic Baby can be used to fill the financial loopholes of Dragon Quest.
Zhao Chenfeng still admires Saito very much, but it's still unrealistic to want to dig Saito, not to mention that his funds are not abundant now, and Enix will not let go of such a talent easily, in terms of game development, Yosuke Saito is the pillar of Enix.
Saito put a piece of information about Magic Baby in front of Zhao Chenfeng, although his company also revealed the production of Magic Baby, but it was limited to China and was not publicized in the world, so I think Zhao Chenfeng may have learned about Magic Baby by hearsay, but he didn't know the essence of this game.
Zhao Chenfeng also picked it up and glanced at it, Zhao Chenfeng didn't care about the content of the game at all, when he became obsessed with online games in his previous life, Magic Baby was about to withdraw from the online game world, but this doesn't mean that he hadn't heard of this game, known as one of the originators of RPG, there must be something unique about him. I still care more about the production team, I plan to directly acquire the magic baby this time, before the legend was due to lack of funds, so I had to choose an agent, I chose to have a net worth of tens of millions, in order to maximize interests, or choose to acquire, to avoid differences with Enix due to conflicts of interest.
"Mr. Zhao, the information of the Magic Baby is here, Mr. Zhao, you have also seen it, all the characters of the Magic Baby are portrayed by the Japanese comic master - Mr. Miyazaki!" For Miyazaki's daimyo, it is natural that the Japanese who really make Zhao Chenfeng respect are devoted to comics all his life, and convey the idea of peace through comics, and are traitors in the eyes of the Japanese right-wing. So much so that Dwango Studio, which worked with Mr. Hayao Miyazaki, also broadcast "Nanjing! Nanking! 》。
Zhao Chenfeng is not a pure nationalist, but he feels disdain for the Japanese government's unwillingness to admit history, and for such pro-China Japanese friends, it is natural to have respect.
"I know Mr. Miyazaki's work, so I'm quite confident in this game, at least in terms of art, I think it's impeccable!" With Miyazaki's assurance, Magic Baby is at least a third of the way successful, and the rest depends on the playability of the game.
The two sides chatted about the content of the game for a while, Zhao Chenfeng directly offered the price, the business belongs to the business, and it is impossible for him to directly raise the price to the sky because Miyazaki participated in the production of the magic baby, in the end, this game has not yet been tested by the market, so the other party's confidence is nothing more than the degree of well-made.
"Mr. Saito, I think I'll buy this game for 100 million yen." In fact, this price is also decent, and it has just reached Saito's expectations, but in business, Saito still gave an offer of 150 million yen.
Zhao Chenfeng is not stupid, although this game is widely praised in the mainland, the production cost is not high, after all, it is a 2D round game, after a few years, when the magic baby is lonely, there will be countless online games to rise, and step on it. In the end, after the two sides negotiated, they won the magic baby for 110 million yen, and Dwango Studio also followed Zhao Chenfeng to carry out the follow-up development of the magic baby.
After the negotiation, Yosuke Saito wanted to leave Zhao Chenfeng for dinner together, Zhao Chenfeng didn't have this mind now, I don't know how many people from the Yamaguchi Group were waiting for him outside, after resigning, let Li Sanjin book a ticket back to China as soon as possible, the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, and there will be more danger if he stays for one more day.
