Chapter 267: Learn the pattern of Taobao
It was very unpleasant to be played like a monkey, and Terry had this feeling at this time, and he vaguely guessed that it was Sega picking bones inside the eggs to deliberately make things difficult for them.
Terry held back his anger and asked, "If we change the filing now, I wonder if we can get an SGL1 license?" ”
Wang Zhe glanced at Yang Yun and found that the other party had no other expression, so he said: "Yes, no problem, when President Zhongshan comes back, we will definitely give priority to Ximutou's application." ”
Terry seemed to suddenly realize something, and instead of arguing any further, he took the initiative to say that he was tired and needed to go home to discuss nonsense, and pulled Ford away in a hurry.
"Mr. Yang, are they ready to give up on us?" Wang Zhe discovered the anomaly.
Yang Yun said with a smile: "Give up the MD platform, if they want to do "Dune", there is only the SFC platform, what is this not self-casting?" ”
Wang Zhe sighed: "It's a pity that it's such a haode game!" If you want to blame them, you can only blame them for not knowing each other. ”
Yang Yun smiled faintly: "How many people on this shijie can recognize themselves?" ”
Sure enough, for the next few days, Terry and Ford never looked for Sega again, as if they had disappeared, but Cao Carrey came to Sega and brought the latest news.
He learned one thing when he was negotiating with Yamauchi, Nishiki did hook up with Nintendo, Yamauchi Pu gave a favorable treatment, the most favored cooperation, priority recommendation, all-round packaging, and the addition of "Dune 2" is very welcome!
Hearing this news, the mood of everyone in Sega is different.
Hayao Nakayama was slightly sympathetic, he was very optimistic about this game, but he vetoed it under Yang Yun's strong pressure. It took almost a few months to delay and waste valuable time to get to market. is destined to become cannon fodder under the iron rider of Longteng's "Dune 1993".
Wang Zhe shook his head to express regret, this is a hero cherishes a hero. Who told Ximutou to be born at the wrong time, even if he was born at the wrong time, the key is that they can't see the form clearly, they are blind, and they are on the wrong line, which is a fatal mistake.
Yang Yun sighed, if he hadn't made a purchase, Ximu might have been thrown into the arms of Viking Interactive a long time ago, and the PC version of "Dune 2" would have been made a long time ago. Instead of being forced to delay the listing now, this is fate!
After some sighing, Yang Yun asked: "Kerry, now that Nintendo is worried about internal and external troubles, the Empire State Building is about to collapse, and it is almost a matter of life and death, how is Yamauchi Pu thinking?" Is he willing to accept capital injections from foreign investors? ”
Cao Kairui said with some displeasure: "He is willing to accept our investment, but only gives dividends, not equity, saying that it is for our sake." Guaranteed returns on our investments. ”
Yang Yun hahadaxiao: "This is what we Chinese often call the old wealth, people hold a lot of dollars in their hands, and the amount of cash is scared to death, and of course they have the confidence to speak." He was the Nintendo Emperor for decades. How is it possible to easily let go of the rights in your hands? Maintaining his absolute controlling stake, Yamauchi Pu is still not dead......"
Cao Kairui said disdainfully: "But how far can Nintendo, which has lost Yokoi Junhei, go?" Who else will be the next successor of Pu Yamauchi? If Nintendo doesn't have good managers, even if there is more cash. Sooner or later, it will be empty! ”
The Blackstone Group didn't simply come for this money, if it was just to make money. Shijie has a lot of projects that can be invested, and they are more concerned about how to cooperate with Longteng for a long time. Together, they occupy an absolute dominance in the gaming industry.
If you just get Nintendo's dividend rights and can't influence Nintendo's decision-making, then it means that you can't get the approval of Longtendo and can't get the monopoly of the game industry, Blackstone will be very passive, and there is no point in investing.
So Cao Carrey still has a very difficult road to go, and he must take control of Nintendo.
Yang Yun smiled dumbly, speaking of the next president of Nintendo, Satoshi Iwata of the HAL Club has been poached by him, plus Yamauchi Pu has never believed in his son-in-law Minoru Arakawa, there are really not many people in Nintendo who can really take the lead, and it is likely that in the next seven or eight years, Yamauchi Pu will still be in power in his 60s.
It is not uncommon for a veteran to be a strong veteran, since Yamauchi Pu is willing to toss, then let him go!
The next day, Nintendo reached a cooperation agreement with Viking Interactive and held a small signing conference.
On behalf of Viking Interactive, Ford exchanged signature pens with Yamauchi, shook hands, and accepted the photo with a smile on his face, and Terry excitedly introduced the basic situation of "Dune 2" to the media and peers, and everything seemed so good.
But when Yamauchi's secretary hurried over and whispered something in his ear, Yamauchi threw his sleeves away angrily, and Nintendo's team began to pack up and prepare to evacuate, and the atmosphere at the press conference instantly dropped to freezing.
Ford looked at Terry, and Terry looked at Ford, until the reporter rushed over to ask, and then they remembered the people who kept Nintendo.
However, there was chaos at the venue, Nintendo was not in the mood to sign a contract, and Viking Interactive did not even have employees to maintain order because they were guests.
The media began to find their own way to inquire about it, and soon learned the exact news.
It turns out that just now, Fengyun Game Software Company announced two new news, and they are heavy news.
First, Fengyun Game Software Co., Ltd. spent 5.5 billion yen to acquire a 40% stake in Konami and became the largest shareholder of Konami.
This news directly stunned the people of Nintendo, a hardcore ally, a partner who swore that he would never change his mind, even jumped when he said it!
Many people have seen the clues in the matter of "Heartbeat Memories", the previously powerful Konami is now silent, and the previously silent Fengyun game is now an instant hit, which is too abnormal!
However, after Yuejing negotiated the terms of the deal with Yang Yun, he sneaked away and went on vacation alone, so no one knew what happened between them.
Although everyone in the outside world has a hunch, no one expected that this is another acquisition, and it is another acquisition of competitors and mortal enemies!
Konami's delisting is even rarer, and there must be financial experts operating in it, which should be the same as Sega's delisting back then, in that case, the privatized Konami will become the core of the Longteng system, the same as Sega!
The second news released by Fengyun is that the audit of Sega's game quality management system will become easier to pass, and game makers who have signed exclusive contracts with Sega will receive all-round publicity support from Sega, and those game makers in the Nintendo camp are very welcome to jump ship, as long as they sign an exclusive contract, they can get generous bonuses!
This one is disgusting, making Nishiki and Viking interact feel like they are being played like monkeys, they just jumped to the Nintendo camp, and the SGL1 license on Sega's side has dropped the review standard, which is definitely deliberate, and it must be a punishment for Nishiki's defection!
Again, this is the most important reason why Yamauchi brushed his sleeves away.
It turned out that Nintendo signed an exclusive contract and charged software management fees, while Sega opened up the contract, no fees, and no restrictions on camps, poaching a group of people from Nintendo.
Later, Nintendo couldn't bear it, gave up the game quality management system of charging management fees, and started a tug-of-war with Sega, but Sega didn't play this trick with Nintendo, and started from other aspects, quickly seizing more than 50% of the market and gaining the upper hand.
Now when Nintendo is in a dilemma, Sega Chiguoguo's provocation not only wants to monopolize, but as long as you are willing to jump from Nintendo, Sega does not charge or say anything, and takes the initiative to give bonuses!
"Shameless, shameless!" Before Yamauchi left, he almost scolded into the microphone.
"Awesome, awesome!" Cao Kairui admires Yang Yun tightly, this move is too amazing, this is a blow to Nintendo.
"Normal, normal!" Yang Yun laughed, he learned this trick from Ma Yun, to be precise, he learned it from the Japanese, isn't this kind of routine to do Taobao?
Burning money, grabbing the market, and cultivating player habits, Sega and Taobao have the same road in the early stage.
Taobao's overwhelming propaganda and advertising, opening stores for free, publicizing college students' monthly income of tens of thousands, publicizing part-time online stores to work to make money, coupled with a small amount of maintenance and management costs, has successfully attracted thousands of bazaar sellers, created the myth of hundreds of billions of annual turnover, and also made people develop the habit of shopping on Taobao, and drove various e-commerce competitors such as eBay and Amazon out of the market one by one.
Sega has learned a good way, so that the majority of game manufacturers are accustomed to the Sega model, no management fees, no inventory backlog, no overlord clauses, thousands of suppliers have settled on the Sega platform, for Sega to fight for 51% of the market to make a great contribution.
And now, Sega Chiguo's digging and bonus are already the decisive moment of the bayonet!
It depends on how Pu Yamauchi prepares to deal with it!
Industry insiders have always been full of expectations for the battle between Sega and Nintendo, and the two evenly matched companies have finally publicly declared war, and they have played a propaganda slogan of burning money and digging people, isn't this exciting?
Supporters on both sides of the flank are fighting in the media,
Suppliers from the original Sega camp are considering whether they should sign an exclusivity agreement to get greater support from Sega.
The people in the Nintendo camp are nervous, hoping to see Nintendo's countermeasures as soon as possible, otherwise they will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure and will sooner or later jump ship to the Sega camp.
Cao Carrey went to Nintendo again, this time on his own initiative, and Yamauchi was anxious.
"Mr. Cao, let's talk about equity distribution!"
"President Yamauchi, that's exactly what I want!"
A new round of negotiations between Blackstone and Nintendo has begun, and this tug-of-war does not know how long it will last, but there must be a result. (To be continued......)
