George Parker has been to Hong Kong to open a branch office, to Taiwan to set up a factory, but never to Chinese mainland, in his opinion, red China is too mysterious, full of unknown fear.
In fact, Yang Yun proposed a plan that made him feel scared, using the ownership of the two cards as collateral to borrow $300 million in cash at low interest, and the profits brought by the two cards, Longteng Toys Company can all be used to repay the debt, and not take a penny for the time being!
George weighed it for a long time, if it weren't for the Bang! card half a year ago, the century-old Parker Brothers Company might have changed hands and become a subsidiary of Hasbro, the largest toy company in the United States.
It was Dragon that saved him, offering a brand new card game, and even the Monopoly game that didn't make it more profitable, increasing its sales a lot, saving the fate of Parker Brothers.
Now that Long Teng is in trouble, he should also lend a hand anyway.
"Must be $300 million?" The amount was too large, and George felt struggling.
Yang Yun nodded: "George." You said this to Mr. Jiang, and we are counting on you! ”
George had a headache, it was just a casual remark at the beginning, it was still very difficult for him to raise 300 million US dollars in a short period of time, and it was not so fast to mortgage to the bank, and it was particularly risky.
Yang Yun smiled: "George, I promise you, next year I will launch another brand new card game." I hope we can make the card market bigger together. Become the overlord of the card world that no one can shake! ”
Another expected future return, and an unpredictable risk, George sighed secretly, he had been in the mall for many years. I have never seen anyone with such confidence in the future. No one has ever dared to pack a ticket to say that their future products will definitely sell well all over the world.
Only this mysterious Chinese would dare to do this!
"Can I refuse?" George grimaced. "But I hope to reduce the amount, I can only provide a maximum of 200 million."
Yang Yun daxiao: "Enough! EA and KTT are willing to settle the remaining 100 million. ”
George opened his mouth and sighed, "Yang." It looks like everything is under your control. I hope Longteng will stand up quickly! ”
After solving the problem of money, Yang Yun put all his energy into the game design of Pokemon.
140 of the 151 elves have been completed, and the remaining ones, Yang Yun is ready to hand over to Studio Ghibli and Fengyun, all the designers and software engineers sent to Japan, and those led by Inoue Yanxiong and Tajiri Tomo, all secretly moved into the Sega laboratory to carry out Zuihou's sprint coding.
This is the prerequisite for privatization of Sega, Hayato Nakayama must open the core jishu of Sega, otherwise Yang Yun can refuse to release the game at any time, and no one can please everyone.
Therefore, the hardware design of GameGear, the platform software development kit, and the multi-terminal communication jishu, these core jishus are explained by Sega's hardware developers.
Inoue's project team is progressing rapidly, and the entire game will be ready for testing at the end of April, with the exception of some vacant elf slots and the spawn of some wild elves.
Online battle is an important function of Pokemon, and exchanging elves is the greatest fun for friends, so the elf center is used as a separate communication module, and zuihou made it.
Time passed day by day, and almost every day there was news related to Longteng and Sega, some rumors, and some official news of Sega itself.
On May 1, Sega Co., Ltd. announced that the GameGear handheld launched on May 10 was postponed, and the specific date was uncertain, on the same day, reminiscent of the recent dragon turmoil, short-term investor confidence in the stock market was greatly reduced, and Sega's stock price plummeted by 12%.
On May 2nd, Fengyun game software company came out of what was said to be the inside story, Fengyun arcade new game was postponed, in a fierce power struggle, Ma Liang, the head of the Jishu department, failed, was recalled to China, the top is a new game designer named Hu Jun, all the personnel of the R&D department regardless of nationality and seniority were scattered and reorganized, and fell into chaos, on the same day, Sega's stock price fell 4%.
On May 15th, Sega Co., Ltd. announced that the research and development of Sega's 32-bit arcade substrate was suspended, and there was no specific listing for the time being, and the research and development of 32-bit new generation Sega TV game consoles were suspended, and on the same day, Sega's stock price plummeted 8%.
On May 16, Nintendo Co., Ltd. held a press conference that Nintendo purchased 8% of Sega's shares from SAMMY, a famous Japanese pachinko manufacturer, and infiltrated Shili into the main base of its biggest competitor!
It caused an uproar in the entire game industry for a while, and all the professional media and industry experts were confused, what was going on? Weishenme Nintendo can get an 8% stake in Sega? Is this a prelude to Nintendo's acquisition of Sega?
Plunge, keep plunging! Sega's share price has fallen to the bottom, with a market value of 1.5 billion, I'm afraid there is less than $600 million left!
Pachinko is a very popular gambling machine in Japan, SAMMY is the manufacturer of Hatoyama Jun's shares, Sega executives are furious, Hatotail actually sold 8% of the shares to the sworn enemy Nintendo!
They don't mind who they sell it to, but it's Nintendo!
Yang Yun made a phone call and said gloomily: "If you still want to continue, you must buy back the 8% at all costs, otherwise you know the consequences!" ”
Of course, Hayakuo Nakayama knew the consequences, and it was a hard slap in the face to Sega. This is Nintendo's counterattack, this is a great shame!
This 8% is equivalent to Nintendo's injury-free attribute, and any profit from Sega is also an increase in BUFF to Nintendo, which makes everyone in the Sega camp unbearable!
However, Yang Yun knew very well in his heart that without his urging, Hayato Nakayama and Kobayashi Mustang would also take the initiative to deal with this matter and buy back the 8% stake from Nintendo, which is very likely to consume a considerable amount of money from the two, and Nintendo will have the initiative.
If Nintendo is not short of this money. Just want to take the disgusting Sega. Then Sega has no choice, and all subsequent jihua will be affected.
If Nintendo wants to take advantage of the fire and sell it for a super high price, Hayakuo Nakayama can only grit his teeth and catch it. Suffer this big loss.
Yang Yun only needs to wait. Wait for Hayabusa Nakayama to hold back. When he asked for help, he struck again.
On May 20, Sega announced. They have bought an 8% stake from Nintendo, and Sega's share price has stabilized.
On May 28, Sega was suspended, and Hayao Nakayama announced a 15% premium to buy all Sega's outstanding shares in cash, and applied for delisting from the Tokyo Stock Exchange, asking all retail investors to go to various exchanges for delivery within 30 days.
At this point, Sega's privatization process is finally half completed, and the next thing is that Longteng pays for it, Yang Zhan, Yuan Xinyi and others handle everything carefully, and they don't let Yang Yun worry too much.
On June 10, 1990, Yang Yun got the exciting news that after two months of deployment and operation, Longteng Company successfully held 51% of Sega shares!
At the same time, there is good news from Taiwan.
Zhao Yongping and Lin Fannan worked hard to dig up the two core jishu members of the founding team from Taiwan Crystal Technology Group at the cost of 5% of the equity of the joint venture company, and secretly sent them out of Taiwan, landed in Shishi in Southeast Province, and then sent them to the capital non-stop.
Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, Yang Yun successfully entered the Sega, got all the jishu of GameGear, established the production line, got the jishu of the LED display, and the production of the Pokemon game has also been completed, and then we have to see, when is the most suitable time to blow this east wind!
Before the east wind blew, Yang Yun came to Zhu Shuguang's office with mixed feelings, and he had a lot to say.
"You ......" Zhu Shuguang looked at the statistical report in his hand, closed his mouth in surprise, and wanted to applaud loudly, but when he opened his mouth, he was a little embarrassed, and his heart was inexplicably moved.
This time, Longteng spent $520 million to obtain a total of 51% of the shares of Japan's Sega Co., Ltd., but it was burdened with a debt of $450 million, but the state did little to help, and even bank loans had to get sales contracts between Longteng and Chiyang, so they reluctantly issued a loan of $150 million, as if digging their flesh.
In terms of policy, as they had predicted, there was far more opposition than support, and indifference was far greater than solidarity, and only a small group of officials like Zhu Shuguang were working hard to persevere, using limited resources to deal with the sneering ridicule and to deal with the opposition.
They lamented that they were single and weak, they hated the stubborn thinking of being complacent, they hated that their ability was not enough, they couldn't, and they didn't dare to move forward drastically, they could only watch Yang Yun fight alone in front, covered in blood, and they could only publish a few news policies that didn't hurt or itch in the rear, playing official, saying haha, fooling the world.
And now, although Yang Yun succeeded, it was a pyrrhic victory, with a debt of $450 million, in exchange for a scarred Sega, the two battered warships of Longteng and Sega were retied together and crumbling back from overseas, not knowing when they would be repaired and when they would be able to set sail again.
Zhu Shuguang's eyes were a little moist, and he sighed: "Xiao Yang, the country ...... I'm sorry you ......."
Yang Yun also sighed: "Director Zhu, I know what the national situation is like. No one is on the dangerous thing, and a swarm of good ones rushes up. This time, everyone has seen that you are the only one standing firmly behind us, you have to continue to carry this flag and continue to escort us! ”
Zhu Shuguang gritted his teeth and said: "Those young people, no one wants to get benefits from me!" To tell you the truth, in fact, the old man is very concerned about China's game and animation industry, and he encourages us not to be afraid of difficulties, cross the river by feeling the stones, do big things, and do practical things! If you're ready, I can take you to meet him! ”
What the!
Does he want to see me?
Yang Yun was so excited that he was almost speechless: "Go!" A must go! I ......" (To be continued......
