Chapter 252: West Wood Studio is Difficult to Acquire

Yang Yun took out a copy of the information and handed it over: "It was originally going to be handed over to the four of you, this is a detective type game, I need you to adapt it into a comic and sell it with our game, let me introduce ......"

"No problem!" Okawa Nanase closed the information, but looked at Yang Yun carefully, and said with a smile: "As long as you speak, I will support anything unconditionally." ”

Yang Yun was blocked, unable to say a word, and could only cover up his unnaturalness with the unfinished sake.

Anything will be supported unconditionally, or Japanese women dare to say and do!

No wonder Ma Liang's kid found a Japanese girlfriend, but he couldn't do it......

"Okay, then I'll leave the Reversal Judge and Detective Conan comics to you, and I'll let the game production team at Fengyun communicate with you when you have your hands free to start production." After explaining all this, Yang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Heartbeat Memories" came to the end of work, so in 1992 he was going to personally participate in the production of other games, only "Dune 2" with unknown circumstances.

According to the information provided by Yang Zhan and Alexey, there has been no news from Ximutou Studio recently, as if the world has evaporated.

And there is also news from Hayao Nakayama's side, Nishikitou submitted a report of a real-time strategy game to the MD platform, and all signs indicate that history seems to be operating normally, and there is not much change from the real history, and "Dune 2" is about to be born.

Yang Yun's biggest problem is here, before he was reborn, he knew the name of Ximutou, and he also knew the names of various games made by Ximutou. But he didn't bring the encyclopedia with him, he didn't know the history of the development of the West Wood Company!

In this era of underdeveloped information. When his eyes are blackened, the news becomes something quite valuable.

Fortunately, he has been in contact with several companies for the past six months. Now this is the time when it finally comes in handy.

Yang Yun first contacted KTT's Alexey, a company that has grown rapidly and has become one of the top 10 game software production companies in North America.

"Alexey, I want to hear good news." Yang Yun was not polite.

Alexei daxiao up: "As you wish." The first piece of good news is that Distinctive has been acquired by us, and damn it, you should have known about that news a long time ago. ”

Yang Yun laughed and said, "Of course I know, Yang Zhan has already told me. You bought Distinctive for only 5 million, and you did a great job. I would like to know, how is your progress with Bullfrog Corporation? ”

"That's the second piece of good news, Pete is willing to work with us, but he needs a whopping $20 million and your idea," Alexey said on the other end of the phone. ”

Yang Yun quickly calculated in his heart that he had $130 million in cash reserves before the Spring Festival, and the Sega hardware lab had consumed more than $10 million in the past few months, but the settlement date of several cooperative companies had passed. Combined with Pokemon's North American movie revenue, Dragon has $235 million in cash on its total account, which is very generous.

"As long as I can buy bullfrogs, I'll pay $20 million. Not to mention creativity, as long as he is my person, I will give them ideas for free. But there's such a thing as negotiation. Leave it to the professionals, and I will arrange for a negotiating team to go to the United States as soon as possible. ”

"No, no, no! Pete has gone back to England. I guess you should go over and see them for yourself. They seem to be in trouble. ”

Bullfrog Company in trouble? Yang Yun couldn't think of any major events, so he could only write them down first.

“OK。 Alexey, don't talk about them anymore. This year is a crucial year, and when I'm done dealing with this side of things, I'll work with you to create a miracle next year! Now it's all you need to do to build relationships with PC game makers and studios in North America as soon as possible, and remember, it's every two-person garage company! ”

"I know Yang, listen to you, I didn't miss it!"

Hanging up the transatlantic phone, Yang Yun knew in his heart that Pitt had returned to the UK, and the bullfrog could be put aside for the time being, and when he went to Europe, the acquisition case would be solved together.

Next, Yang Yun continued to dial the phone and contacted Yang Zhan.

Yang Zhan is also in the United States and is negotiating with Motorola about CPU supply, which is a difficult bone to gnaw, because Sega purchases millions of CPUs a year, plus various sound processing chips, and various semiconductor components, so every cent of the price change will be a rather terrifying amount.

"Yang Zhan, how did you follow up with Ximutou Company?"

"The situation is not good, after contacting in the first half of the year, the other party did not refuse, but now it seems that there is a little bit of Qiao, and the attitude is very perfunctory."

Yang Yun snorted, of course Ximutou has the capital to take Qiao, their most famous game now is "Demon Eye Killing Machine" under the DND rules, which is their famous work, and it has been out for two generations, making them a well-known DND rule RPG game producer.

"Do they want a high price? Or do you want to be acquired by a more well-known company? Yang Yun only thought of these two possibilities.

Yang Zhan replied: "Of course, it's an acquisition, what they lack most now is a haode backstage. "MONOCULUS Killing" is published by SSI, a company that makes armored and World War II games, and its control over RPG games is still too weak. ”

"Continue to track and see if EA makes a move, be sure to intercept it, grab the West Wood for me as soon as possible, and if necessary, I will go to Las Vegas in person!"

I don't know if it's because of cultural differences, but Yang Yun found that when he negotiated the acquisition of companies in Japan, he was far less resistant than in North America.

The acquisition of Sega is a bit tiring, but it can also be broken one by one.

With the acquisition of Capcom, the people of the Tsujimoto family can actually sell the company to their sworn enemies, and even Yang Yun himself can't believe it.

The acquisition of Square Enix's Final Fantasy and the acquisition of Enix's Dragon Quest, during which he was coaxed and deceived, encouraged, threatened, tempted, and played, Yang Yun used many means, and finally achieved his goal.

Only in North America, a few small companies that can't be smaller even dare to show Long Teng's face!

ATI, okay, this company makes graphics cards, and it is different from Longteng, and it is normal to look at the face, but after Blackstone came on the field, it changed a lot, and he took the initiative to lick the feet of other people Blackstone, and allowed Longteng to take shares.

Come on, Yang Yun doesn't have the same general knowledge as AIT, but there is also a Distinctive in Canada, this company almost tortured Yang Yun crazy, a small company with a big fart, developed several mentally handicapped racing games, well, it is actually a very awesome predecessor of "Need for Speed" and the racing engine, so he dared to give Yang Yun a look, and the price was increased again and again, and finally broke up unhappily.

There is also a bullfrog, everyone talks about a good haode, see each other late, at first sight, eager to worship as brothers, but when it comes to the company's acquisition, it immediately stops, first dry KTT for a few months, this time I am afraid that something went wrong before agreeing to sell, otherwise bullfrogs can always be until they are acquired by EA hostile.

zuihou is this west wood, hey, hey, it's even more dragging, yang yun has never seen the president of a company, yang zhan went to negotiate, but his expression was cold, and now it seems that he is taking qiao.

As for the French Ubisoft, as well as the Russian 1C, hey, it's all tears, taking advantage of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Yang Yun risked his life to pick up the leak, and acquired the game department of 1C, and the boss came forward and traveled thousands of miles to Moscow, but only bought one department!

Yang Yun, who lost money, also planned to hand over the World War II game to 1C Company to deal with, but it was really annoying, so he left the real-time strategy game to KTT to do!

What West Wood, what bullfrog, what EA, what Black Island, really mess with Yang Yun, even if he smashes it with money, he can smash out a giant company.

It's just that by doing this, you can exhaust him to death, jishu accumulation, game engine, it's not something that can be done with your mouth, for example, this West Wood, if you haven't done "Dune 2" on the MD platform, and you haven't done "Command & Conquer", can they make a classic game like "Red Alert"?

Therefore, the accumulation of game jishu is very important, and it cannot be completed overnight.

Next, Yang Yun called Xiao Liangyu of Longteng France Branch, although his main energy has been on "Heartbeat Memories" in the past six months, he has not interrupted his contact with Xiao Liangyu.

"What's going on with 1C? How are the World War II statistics that I handed them to be organized? Yang Yun asked.

"A lot of the materials left over from the Soviet Union are public, and most of the catalogues you have proposed have been sorted out." Xiao Liangyu replied: "In addition, after more than half a year of running-in, 1C Company has now begun to cooperate with Ubisoft, received two outsourcing orders, and the income and expenditure have been balanced. ”

Yang Yun was relieved, this is the third good news he heard today: "Very good, I bought them, not for them to sit and wait for me to feed." Maybe I'll go to Europe soon, and I'll meet these lads! ”

The production of "Dune 2" is actually very tight, but Yang Yun did not start it at the beginning of the year because of the uncertainty of the console.

Different CPUs, different GPUs, and different game storage media will affect the effect of Dune 2.

With Yang Yun's cheat, as long as there is a similar portable game engine, making a game is at least twice as fast as other companies, so he only needs to provide a file directory for people to collect.

The classification terms on this directory are shocking.

Tanks, military factories, army, air force, maintenance jishu, missile launch systems, OK, with these, Yang Yun can make something good to come out! (To be continued......)
