Chapter Eighty-Four: Departure

After sending the three away, Jester looked at a script for an animated film that had just been sent by Illusion Studios.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has gradually become popular in the past few months, and even the sales of the latest issue are higher than the sales of several of Marvel's best-selling comic series for many years, so Jester's previous promise to invest in the animation of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was turned over by the two authors of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in Illusion Studio.

Flipping through the script sent by Studio Illusions, Jester thought silently.

The script is fine, exactly the same as the popular cartoon he watched in his last life, but what he is thinking about now is not whether to shoot it, but whether to start shooting it so early.

It's not about money, he's really not short of money right now.

After thinking about it, Jester still decided to start making zuò right away, after all, it takes a lot of time to make a cartoon, and it takes time to find a TV station to broadcast it after it is done, and it also takes time to make your own game, and when "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is almost known to the whole country, your own game is almost done, and at that time, your own console is also on sale, and you can just lend the game.

But that's next year.

Then Jester began to think about another plan, in fact, he had been thinking about this plan for a long time, but he had not yet decided whether to actually implement it, after all, this is a merger and acquisition plan involving tens of millions of dollars.

Jester is familiar with the DND rules, which were born in 1974, and he is also salivating.

And Jester knows that the world's earliest electronic RPG game was actually created by DND players on PC in order to facilitate their own running groups, the world's earliest commercial role-playing game, and its rules, will affect countless games in the future, whether it is the fantasy theme of "Diablo", "Eternal Mission", "Icewind Dale", sci-fi "Fallout", "Deus Ex", "Mayhem Online" or others such as "Outlander Requiem", "Vampire: Escape and Redemption" and so on were born under the influence of DND rules, and it can even be said unceremoniously that the shadow of DND can be found in almost all European and American RPGs in the future.

But it's not easy to get the rights to them, now DND's copyright is in the hands of TSR, and now DND's board games are very popular, with millions of dollars in sales every year, and this company is completely dependent on DND's copyright to survive, and it may cost a lot to buy the DND copyright that Jester dreams of from them.

Of course, Jester, who knows the future value of DND, thinks that it is worth it to spend more to take it down, not to mention that the so-called huge price is only tens of millions of dollars at most.

Compared to its real hidden value, it is really a drop in the bucket.

At first, Jester didn't have enough money, after all, he wanted to carry out his industrial layout, he needed distribution channels, he needed high-performance display chips, he needed to make a lot of games to make a name for himself, etc., etc., so the money at that time needed to be used where it was most needed, and now, when his company has enough remaining funds, Jester has risen to the idea of purchasing DND copyrights.

After thinking about it, Jester still couldn't resist the ** given to him by DND no matter what, and after drinking the third cup of coffee, he still decided to buy the copyright of DND.

However, the acquisition of DND's rights is not much different from the direct acquisition of TSR, which is basically a plan for a company merger and acquisition.

However, he does not need to negotiate this matter himself, there are many professional institutions in the United States that specialize in helping with acquisition negotiations, as long as he pays for it himself.

And it's true that I'm not good at it.

As for the other worldview structure "Warhammer" that can be compared to the DND rules, this is what Jester is going to do in the UK after that, although the current game workshop has not yet launched the Warhammer rulebook, but the designer who designed the Warhammer rules is already there, and Jester is ready to go to the UK after returning from the mainland, in addition to forming a European branch, he is also preparing to dig into the wall.

Jester checked the progress of the next few development teams, and overall he was quite satisfied, and all the game development plans were being carried out in an orderly manner.

Moreover, several new pet machines in the handheld R&D department are also constantly being designed and will be sent to Japan for production immediately, and the successful launch of the Pokemon pet machine in Japan has also strengthened Jester's confidence, and it is ready to be officially launched in the United States in the near future.

The launch ceremony was scheduled for the next player trial in New York, but she was not in the United States at that time, so Carly was in charge.

The company's plan for the next half month was written down a few pieces of paper, and then handed it to Mark Seny, Jester was ready to rush to Los Angeles, the special plane sent by the Civil Aviation Administration of China was scheduled to take off at nine o'clock this evening, and arrived in Jingbei at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.

The scale of the entire mainland investment group is not large, a total of less than 100 people, more than half of them are accompanying family members, such as Jester's grandfather in addition to his own departure, his sister-in-law will also accompany him.

When he arrived in Los Angeles, Jester didn't book a hotel, and went directly to his uncle's residence, where his grandfather and sister-in-law were also located.

Jester chatted casually with his grandfather for a while and was urged by his grandfather to go to sleep, after all, he had to fly for more than ten hours at night, and after arriving, he had to participate in the welcome banquet organized by the mainland, and the long flight was still extremely tiring for many people, so adequate sleep was extremely important.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Jester and his grandfather, along with the entire investment group, gathered and rushed to Los Angeles International Airport, which is also known as LAX Airport, where the plane prepared by the Continental Aviation Bureau was parked on the fourth apron.

Jester was still taken aback when he saw the aircraft with the words "China Airlines" written on the fuselage, he didn't expect that the domestic civil aviation at this time was actually equipped with the Boeing 747-200, which is still advanced in the world's civil aviation industry, Jester is familiar with this type of aircraft or because he has read an article, the VC-25A belonging to the US military, that is, the famous Air Force One special plane, is modified from the Boeing 747-200.

After the introduction of Jester by an official received by the Civil Aviation Administration sent by the mainland, he learned that this Boeing 747-200 was purchased by Deputy Director Hu Yizhou in person last year, and Boeing had just delivered it a few months ago, and this time I heard that there was a large-scale Chinese investment group returning to China, and the senior leaders personally instructed that they must be received with the highest standard, so the Civil Aviation Administration sent their hearts this time, that is, this Boeing 747-200.

However, when talking about Hu Yizhou, the deputy director of the Boeing 747, the official of the Civil Aviation Administration was still a little disdainful and directly scolded the loser.

Jester had just woken up, and his energy was a little excessive, so he was a little curious, and after careful inquiry, he found out that although this official worked in the Civil Aviation Administration, he belonged to the Ministry of Economic and Trade Affairs, and the Ministry of Economic and Trade had previously proposed to purchase the Soviet Union's Il-62 on the Civil Aviation Administration's purchase of aircraft, but this plan was vetoed by Hu Yizhou, and he, a person from the Ministry of Economic and Trade who was also driven to the edge by Hu Yizhou, who had a monopoly on power.

In fact, Jester felt that the deputy director named Hu Yizhou was still discerning, and he had nothing to do when he was idle, so he explained to the accompanying Civil Aviation Administration official: "In fact, the Il-62 has high fuel consumption, small load, short range, and the international route from Jingbei can only fly to Japan and the Soviet Union, and the air conditioner has a zài problem, and the air conditioner is very misty in the plane as soon as it is opened, sometimes like rain." ”

I didn't expect this civil aviation official to be knowledgeable, as soon as he heard Jester say this, he also became interested, he listened to Jester while nodding constantly, and when Jester finished speaking, he sighed and said: "Who doesn't know these people who do our business, but the problem is that Il-62 is cheap, do you know how many Il-82 can you buy a Boeing 747?" ”

Seeing Jester shaking his head, the Civil Aviation Administration official stretched out four fingers and shook them: "Four!" ”

This price gap also made Jester secretly smack.

However, before the official of the Civil Aviation Administration finished speaking, he seemed to be interested, so he continued: "Actually, there is another joke about Il-62 in our bureau, which is about Premier Zhou. ”

When Jester heard Premier Zhou's name, he was instantly in awe, one of the people he admired the most.

The Civil Aviation Administration official continued with a smile: "Once the prime minister was on a plane, one of his guards suddenly saw smoke in the plane, and he was so frightened that it was on fire, and the guard ran to the cockpit in a hurry, shouting that it was on fire while running, and only after the captain at the time checked it himself did he know that it was not a fire, it was the old problem of the Il-62, and there was a problem as soon as the air conditioner was turned on." ”

Jester laughed when he heard the anecdote.

However, after the Civil Aviation Administration official finished speaking, he sighed again and became a little sullen: "If you want to say that the American plane is indeed good, it is Boeing and McDonnell Douglas, I don't say it!" But expensive, this is not the loser Director Hu is planning to continue to add new planes next year, this time he can't even look down on the Boeing 747, directly plans to introduce Boeing 757, Boeing 767, Airbus A310, A320, McDonnell Douglas 82 these, you don't know, the above is agreed in principle, after all, international flights represent the face of our country, but our country's foreign exchange is less, the Ministry of Economic and Trade knows the procurement list of this loser director, and when he sees the final price, his heart is dripping blood. ”

"Agreed?" Jester was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that the current continent is not so generous.

"Agreed." The official of the Civil Aviation Administration nodded, but he immediately showed a smile, "However, yes, I agreed, but it is impossible to give him so much money, and if you want to complete the list, you have to think of our own way." ”

Jester smacked his tongue when he heard this, this is hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is not thirty years later, how can a small mainland civil aviation director have such great energy.

As he spoke, a Mandarin and English prompt announcement sounded, and Jester knew that the plane was ready to take off.

PS: Ask for a ticket!!
