"No money?" Yang Yun was completely confused: "The Longteng stall is already so big, how can it be short of money?" Huimin, you're not mistaken, are you? ”

Fang Huimin explained with a wry smile: "Mr. Yang, you don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt regardless of the account, I'll calculate the general account for you!" ”

In the first half of the year, Longteng released a new version of "Pokemon" on the handheld, plus the handheld hardware sales, plus the cumulative sales of old games such as FlappyBird, the profit was 160 million US dollars, and the money continued to arrive on the Longteng account in half a year, which is the cleanest and most timely payment.

In TV console games, the SS platform has released a total of 104 new games, of which 8 belong to Longteng's own research and development, and the other 96 are the results of suppliers, with a total profit of 680 million US dollars.

That's right, the most profitable and best-selling RPG games such as DQ and FF have not launched new versions in 96, although games such as the King of Fighters series, the Three Kingdoms series, the Sonic series, and the rally racing series can still contribute some profits, but the growth rate is too slow, and only the new leaders such as Thief, Expendables 2, and Diablo 1 carry the banner.

Calculate the revenue of the movie, after deducting all kinds of costs, the net profit of "The Expendables 2" is 280 million US dollars, and this money has arrived, while "Resident Evil" is less than 100 million, and it has not yet been settled with major theaters.

The most reluctantly is the profit of PC games, the SS version of Diablo 1 diverted a large number of players, and in the first half of 96, Longteng did not make a classic PC game, and several masterpieces were waiting in line to be listed, even if they were listed now, the outbreak would have to be a few months later.

As for Longteng's other industries, only Longteng Computer Dashi Jie in Zhongguancun is a business industry. Longteng collects money and manages it in a unified manner, and then settles accounts with each owner once every six months. This June is about to pass, and the vast majority of the 1.8 billion yuan in hand will be distributed. It is estimated that there are tens of millions of dollars left in the sky.

The total revenue of Dragon Teng is about 2.5 billion US dollars every year, and there is no big move this year, and the revenue has increased slightly, mainly because there are not enough new games to attract players, and TV games Sony and Nintendo are competing for market share, and PC games are also competing with companies such as IDSoftware and EA, so the revenue has not increased significantly.

Yang Yun heard this clearly: "The revenue in the first half of the year is about $1.2 billion in total revenue, right?" ”

Fang Huimin's voice came: "Yes, plus the support of the two overseas accounts you gave me, it is also about 200 million US dollars." Although it sounds like a lot. But our expenses are just too huge. ”

Of course, the support of overseas accounts is the dividends of SZone and KTT, which Fang Huimin knows, but what he said is very vague.

In addition, the biggest money spent is of course the Loongson project department, half a year has passed silently and 800 million is gone, but it has seen the dawn, chip research has broken through the threshold of some milestones, everything is going on in an orderly manner, as long as Longteng can maintain enough financial support. Next year's evaluation will definitely be no problem.

Then there is the construction of the Dishui Lake Film and Television Game Base, and the entry of the M-class submarine will pay the North Sea Fleet maintenance fee, repair and disposal, and build a simulation game area for "Hunting Submarine".

Resident Evil's Raccoon City is temporarily loaned out to other crews who need scenes in small town in the United States. However, the cost is only to maintain daily life, other maintenance repairs, and decoration of the scenery. All need money, and 80% of the time is the idle phase. No income.

The Diablo building is being designed and constructed, the first being the scene of Diablo 1. The exterior of a high-roofed building like Tristram could not be built, so it was only possible to use a 5-meter-high or 16-meter-high one-story building to try to fit more Diablo1 content into the entire building.

It's just a design and construction now, and the decoration will definitely be an astronomical amount in the future!

Dishui Lake Film and Television Game Base can be summed up in one sentence that it is still burning money.

And ATI and NVIDIA, two joint venture and wholly-owned graphics card companies, have been burning money.

Longteng didn't get a penny of the dividends he received from ATI, and all of them were invested in the research and development of new technologies, or they offset ATI's low-cost supply of graphics card hardware, and it was good to be able to maintain balance of payments.

Needless to say, Nvidia is still under development, and their outbreak will have to wait for two or three years.

Weta Digital's film CG technology is still being developed, and the Longteng computer server switchboard and large-scale computer rendering unit that are joint ventures with them have annual fixed expenditures of hundreds of millions of dollars, and it is not possible to spend nothing.

Yang Yun can't help at all in terms of technical matters, he can only desperately make money to feed these money-burning enterprises, all of them are pampered high-tech companies, although they are famous industries in later generations, but they are all children waiting to be fed before they succeed, no one dares to slack off, and every family must be fed.

In addition, Yang Yun has made frequent moves recently, poaching people in Europe to develop "Red Alert" and "Special Forces", using money to pave the way for the authorization of European arms suppliers, investing in Croatian sports tourism, accepting SSI, getting involved in TSR, buying Square Enix, forming new Timberwolves players, investing a lot in game advertising during the Olympic Games, and feeding people in various branches around the world, hardware costs, inventory backlogs, supplier distribution, and cooperation with Pearson Group......

"I'm dizzy...... I forgot that I was a poor person again......" Yang Yun was stunned by Fang Huimin's data summary, which counts down to a lot of Longteng assets and its cash flow is close to drying up.

"Mr. Yang, it's not a way for you to do this, others settle with our platform on a quarterly or settlement cycle, and all our expenditures are all cash, which is a great hidden danger for our company, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will break the capital chain and have serious consequences!" Fang Huimin's tone was very heavy, and it was necessary for her, the big housekeeper in charge of money, to remind Yang Yun.

If it weren't for the fact that the Timberwolves would have to spend $300 million on the formation of new players, and Square Enix would have to prepare at least $100 million in backup, Yang Zhan took the Shang Fang Sword signed by Yang Yun and booked the next $300 million to acquire SoftBank shares, Fang Huimin would not be so nervous when he had four or five billion US dollars, and the largest Loongson project could be paid in installments.

But now there is only about 100 million US dollars in cash on Longteng's total account, which can only last for a month's expenditure, which makes Fang Huimin nervous, for fear that Yang Yun will be happy to spend money outside, and with a shake of his hand, he casually throws out three or five billion, and Longteng will immediately run out of money.

"It's so good, I know it, I'll pay attention to saving money, Huimin has worked hard for you, I'll find a way to solve this problem!" Yang Yun asked a few more questions about the family and hung up the phone.

Don't borrow money, don't take out loans, don't overdraft credit, this is the rule that Yang Yun set for himself, he only needs cash, just like Nintendo's old wealth Yamauchi Pu, cash is king at all times, only money will make him feel safe, and only with a large amount of cash will Longteng be invincible.

Recently, spending money is too powerful, but every item is indispensable, which is Yang Yun's biggest entanglement.

The solution didn't expect that Wang Zhe's phone call came, there was still a problem on the Japanese side, and the acquisition of Square Enix and SoftBank Group was strongly sniped at the same time, and things changed!

It seems that it is necessary to hold a global conference call, and after some arrangements, the personnel arrived, and when they heard the familiar voices of several core subordinates greeting him, Yang Yun's heart was warm and much more stable.

He's the boss, he's the spiritual leader, and he must not panic.

"Mr. Wang will introduce the problems on the Japanese side, and everyone will listen to them and brainstorm ways to find a solution." Yang Yun is calm, and his voice is still so steady, so that people will feel that Mr. Yang is strategizing and everything is under control, and they are much more relieved.

Wang Zhe introduced: "According to Mr. Yang's spiritual instructions, our acquisition priority of SoftBank Group is higher than that of Square Enix, so we contacted Blackstone Group and some small investment companies in Japan, and took advantage of Square Enix's acquisition to put smoke bombs everywhere and spread a maze, using more means than the acquisition of Sega back then." ”

Everyone laughed and knew that in the financial market, Yang Zhan has rich experience in Japanese corporate acquisitions, and Blackstone Cao Carrey has a Wall Street trader think tank, and the combination of the two sides can almost be said to be invincible, and there must be any moves in the light and dark.

"But after SoftBank Group dropped Square Enix in the first round, we noticed that their vigilance suddenly increased. They have a vice president named Kitao Yoshitaka, who is a well-known figure in the Japanese financial circles, he is in charge of the financial part of the SoftBank Group, and he is very vigilant. ”

The first round of giving up Square Enix was because it was too risky, and by the time the Final Fantasy movie was released, the truth had already been revealed, and Square Enix's true value was accurate to 10,000 yen by a professional statistical agency, and it was basically impossible to have a large premium, and the major companies had just started the second round of competition.

SoftBank Group is one of the masters, Wang Zhe's biggest headache is this, with Kitao Yoshitaka in charge, their vigilance is too high, throw bait, the other party does not eat, call those small Japanese investment companies to secretly encircle and suppress, the other party has increased the review of small shareholders, solid as gold, want to buy it by backdoor, the efficiency is too low, it is extremely difficult to achieve in the short term.

"I finally took advantage of Square Enix's appetite for the SoftBank Group, and I wanted to catch it all. But they didn't eat, they didn't leave, they just stood aside and watched the excitement, and from time to time they made a few comments about yin and yang, and held their wallets in both hands to prevent thieves, which really didn't forget to block us all the time! ”

Wang Zhe's words vividly summarized SoftBank's behavior, and everyone frowned, such an opponent is really difficult!

"What do you think you should do when you encounter such a competitor?" Yang Yun was helpless, he wanted to brainstorm. (To be continued......)
