Chapter 244: Sega Games
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's May.
After this period of exhibition, "Fist of the Big Dipper" can be said to be famous, and it has been compared with "City Hunter" and "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", and it can be said that it has achieved quite good results in just two months, and the future achievements are limitless.
This also made Tetsuo Hara breathe a sigh of relief, but no matter how fierce "Fist of the North Dipper" is, it has won the highest reader impression that it has won the third place. In this regard, Tetsuo Hara can be said to be quite helpless, not that "Fist of the Big Dipper" is not good enough, but that there are too many opponents who are too fierce, but this also makes Tetsuo Hara make persistent efforts, and he is bound to win the first place before he is willing.
In two months, the bloody fighting of "Fist of the Big Dipper" can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the first single book has sold more than one million in just one week, becoming a veritable cornucopia, and it is no wonder that Tetsuo Hara is excited.
The success of "Fist of the North Dipper" also drove the sales of "Shounen soRa", and in the past two months, the sales of "Shohonen soRa" have surged, with a total increase of more than 300,000 sales, although part of it is the credit of other comics, but "Fist of the Hokuto" is also indispensable.
In this year, the total sales of Tianxiasha are now equal to Shueisha, and if it continues to expand like this, I am afraid that the total sales will surpass Shueisha. At that time, even if the background is not as good as Shueisha, I am afraid that the attraction of manga artists is not bad at all.
The prosperity of the Tianxia Society will naturally drive all aspects related to it, for example, the sales of the comic magazines of the Tianxia Society have increased, and the fame and interests of the comics have naturally risen. The influence is high, whether it is the animation ratings, the box office of the theatrical version or even the rest of the peripherals, it will also be improved accordingly.
As the anime ratings increase, the fame of the voice actors and anime music will also increase. Revenue will also increase, so to speak, which is a benefit on the chain. It's no wonder that Zhao Chen will buy companies that are related to comics.
It's just that although Zhao Chen has acquired many companies and the exhibition is fast enough, there is one rather important company missing, that is, a game company!
Although the game companies of this era are far from being as prosperous as later generations. But because of the slow popularization of computers, it began to enter a period of high development. If you wait a few more years, the cost will be incalculable.
For game companies, the most important thing is actually the corresponding technology mastered, and game companies with corresponding high technology and talents are quite rare, which is also the main reason why Zhao Chen has not made a move in the past three years.
Judging from Zhao Chen's cognition, he only knows the current four major game companies. Of course, it is better to say that it is not so much the big four, after all, Microsoft is still focusing on software development, and Nintendo, Sony, and Sega cannot be compared for the time being.
Among the other three major game companies, Sony is a world-renowned large-scale comprehensive multinational conglomerate. It is a pioneer in the fields of audio-visual, video games, communication products and information technology in the world!
In the future, it is the pioneer of the earliest portable digital products, one of the world's largest electronic product manufacturers, and one of the three giants of the world's video game industry. In addition, Sony Pictures Entertainment is the world's largest film company (three of the original Hollywood studios; Columbia Pictures, MGM Pictures, and United Arts Pictures) are the largest music companies in the world. Having merged Columbia Records and Bertelsmann Music and acquired all of EMI's music copyright business, Sony is also one of the world's top ten patent companies, with more than 3ooo patents. In addition, Sony controls one-third of the world's music publishing market, and at least one-third of Hollywood's greatest movie rights are owned by Sony.
Future achievements can be ignored, but Sony is also famous in this era, and the company's current total assets are far more than Zhao Chen's. If you want to buy Sony's game company, it is impossible to agree. It was really agreed that Zhao Chen would also be slaughtered severely.
The second is Nintendo, which is also the game company that Zhao Chen most wants to buy, in addition to Nintendo's future exhibition momentum, in addition, many famous home game consoles and even portable game consoles in the previous life were made by Nintendo.
It's a pity that when Zhao Chen entered the island country three years ago, Nintendo's "Donkey Kong" made amazing profits in North America, which also provided great convenience for Nintendo's subsequent exhibitions, and in just three years, it was on a par with Sony and Sega in the game field.
Zhao Chen also instructed people to go to Nintendo to propose an acquisition plan during this time, but unfortunately he was vetoed by Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi, and there was no room for negotiation.
And finally there's Sega. At this time, Sega was still an American game company, but it had established a branch in the island country in the seventies, and now Sega has not been acquired by the island entrepreneur Hayao Nakayama.
It's just that Sega at this time can be said to be stuck in a quagmire. Although Sega Games has won many firsts in the last year, including the first laser disc-based game SegaastronBe1t, the first 3D video game SubRoc-3D and SEGA's first home game console SG-1ooo. All launched in the island nation. But it didn't last long, and soon after, the market for SEGA's arcade and home consoles collapsed in the United States.
The reason is simple, Sega was affected by the Great Depression in the American game industry, and thus had the intention to sell.
If you look at the future trend, Hayabusa Nakayama, the first executive of Sega, will buy Sega shares in one fell swoop and become the president, and Sega of the United States will officially become Sega of the island country!
And this is exactly the opportunity that Zhao Chen is facing, as long as he acquires Sega, then his animation-related industries are basically perfect. At that time, it is completely possible for the Tianxia Society to set up a group to collect the money of the people of the island country, and then slowly change the thinking of the people of the island country, slow down the development process of the island country, so as to achieve the ability of one person to influence the entire country.
Of course, this kind of thing can only be done slowly, and it must not be rushed, otherwise Zhao Chen is afraid that he will die before his ambition is rewarded.
Sega Games is still headquartered in the United States, and the island nation can only be regarded as the most important branch, and the two cannot be compared.
However, the game industry is still in the initial stage of development in this era, and even if it enters the high development period, the assets of these game companies are far from being as high as in later generations, even Sega.
According to Zhao Chen's memory, when Sega was acquired, Hayao Nakayama and other investors from other island countries spent $38 million to acquire Sega Games, and Hayano Nakayama became the president of Sega from then on.
In addition to the U.S. headquarters, Sega's branch in the island country is more prosperous, and its scale and sales are better than those in the United States, especially when the United States is currently in the midst of the Great Depression in the game industry.
During this time, Sega's sales can be said to have dropped and fallen, and even the salaries of employees cannot be afforded. At present, the president of Sega is the American David Rosen, this American capitalist in addition to owning Sega, has many other companies, it is precisely because of the economic recession in the United States in recent years, the assets of the company have shrunk, and finally had to sell Sega Games to save the emergency, which is also the main reason why Sega will be acquired.
Don't look at the current Sega is getting weaker, but after all, it is a multinational company, and it is a game company on a par with Nintendo and Sony, and the technology and talents it has can be imagined.
In other words, as long as Sega Games is acquired, then Zhao Chen will directly own a top game company, and there is no need to invest too much to collect various corresponding talents in the future, just need to continue to develop technology.
Of course, if you want to buy Sega, the biggest threat is undoubtedly Hayato Nakayama, who is currently the vice president of Sega, which is also Zhao Chen's biggest opponent, after all, Hayayao Nakayama has a strong advantage.
However, Zhao Chen also has his own advantages, on the other hand, his advantages are greater, and the possibility of acquisition is also not small. In the end, it is basically up to American David Rosen to decide.
Sega Games is now in a crisis, and it is time to acquire, so Zhao Chen set off for the United States after explaining the corresponding affairs.
