A series of news shocked the global game community, and peers exclaimed, China's dragon is crazy!

"Can the success of Pokemon be replicated? Is cross-industry operation a prelude to transformation, or a stupid decision? ”

"Long Teng, blinded by money, is about to enter the dark abyss!"

"The Chinese invade Hollywood! Invest heavily and start with a sci-fi movie! ”

"Hong Kong kung fu superstar Jackie Chan will star in the movie "Cadillac and Dinosaurs" male lead!"

"Cadillac becomes the biggest sponsor of the movie "Cadillac and Dinosaurs"!"

"Universal Pictures and Spielberg speed up preparations for the filming of 'Jurassic Park'!"

“……”

Professional game media, entertainment media, and ordinary social news media are all reporting on this event, which is really meaningful and eye-catching.

Universal Pictures and Spielberg, 20th Century Fox and James Cameron. Who is better of these two combinations?

"Jurassic Park", "Cadillac and Dinosaurs", both of which are movies based on novels or comics, who will be more popular?

In addition, there are uncertain factors stirring in the middle, which is the biggest help from China's Longteng Company, 20th Century Fox!

In order to promote and market the movie "Jurassic Park", Universal Pictures reached out to hundreds of companies, signed agreements to manufacture and sell 1,000 products, and tried to find two game production companies willing to adapt the movie. Find a toy production line to make movie merchandise. Find a book publisher that publishes novels for young readers.

And because of Longteng's involvement, none of this is a problem for 20th Century Fox.

Dragon is the world's second-largest video game production company, and no one is more professional than them.

The Parker brothers after hearing about it. Took the initiative to sign the production of toys for "Cadillac and Dinosaurs". Hundreds of toy franchisees around the world haven't even seen the goods. took the initiative to pay tens of millions of dollars in deposits.

And the book publishing house, Long Teng has too many related resources, not to mention Merkdo, the big boss of Fox. The media magnate easily spread his film to Shijie all over the country.

For a time, the decisive battle between the two dinosaurs made the global entertainment industry talk about it and continue to pay attention to it.

The movie has not yet been released, the game has not been made, and the animation has not changed, just such a three-no product has become a much-anticipated boutique work!

……

……

In Japan, Capcom, SNK, no longer dare to speak outrageously, and Tsujimoto Yanlang disappeared from the media's sight as if he had disappeared from shijie.

SNK's Yoshihiko Takado held on alone, and their CVS dragged on and on, and finally mustered up the courage to prepare for the release after the Sega Carnival at the end of the year, only to be knocked back to its original shape again by the news of the new arcade game of Longteng.

Dinosaur Kombat ......

As soon as you hear the name, you know.,It must be another adventure plus a fighting series of games.,In terms of dragon teng's temperament,Only one is better than the other.,Half a year later.,It was around March 1992.,Crashed again.。

Can he keep dragging it back?

Yoshihiko Takado couldn't hold it anymore, they spent 1.8 billion yen to develop NEOGEO, the cost of the substrate was too high for anyone to buy, and the rental service was launched, but unfortunately they didn't have enough game support, and there were few responders, and SNK was on the verge of bankruptcy......

"Tsujimoto Hiro!" Yoshihiko Takado let out an angry roar in his office, kicked over hangers and stools, and smashed teacups, "Coward! You coward! Hiding and not daring to see people, what face do you have in front of me? ”

Takado Yoshihiko didn't know that SNK was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the target of his anger, Tsujimoto Yanlang, was also very sad.

In a small town near the sea in Hokkaido, the setting sun shines on a small building where the Tsujimoto family prepares dinner.

Mrs. Tsujimoto carefully sorted out all kinds of seafood raw materials, and Tsujimoto and his son sat in the study, speechless.

"Father, Capcom has lost money for 5 consecutive quarters, and in the past third quarter, we lost 1.08 billion ......"

"Yan Lang, while it's not too late, find a buyer and sell it."

"Father! Capcom is your life's work, you can't do that......"

"Listen to me, there are still a few games that can be sold at a high price, and it is enough to leave us pension money, I have already liked the poor but comfortable life in Hokkaido, and I want to live a few more years."

"Father...... Woowoo...... I'm really reluctant! Give me another six months, and I'll definitely be able to recover from the disadvantage......"

"Don't you follow the news? Longteng invested $60 million to make a sci-fi movie, and half a year later launched a game of the same name, and the animation and novel adaptation are also going on simultaneously, and Merkeldo is building global momentum for them. Yanlang, we found the wrong competitor, and now if we lose, we will lose, and it will be a big deal to start all over again! ”

"Father's ......"

This tragic scene lasted until Mrs. Tsujimoto called them to eat.

But who can eat this zuihou dinner?

On November 1, 1991, Fengyun Game Software Co., Ltd. acquired all the assets of Capcom Co., Ltd. for 6.9 billion yen in cash and dividends, including the ownership of the large-scale arcade games "Street Fighter", "Kombat Whirlwind" and "Devouring World" series, the ownership of the console game "Mega Man" series, all the intellectual property rights of the hardware CPS1 substrate, and all the ownership of other properties such as the Capcom Building.

The world was shocked!

6.9 billion yen, 50 million US dollars only, Capcom sold all of it to its sworn enemy Fengyun Company!

This news caused a strong earthquake in the Japanese game industry, and almost all companies expressed an unbelievable shock!

Capcom's qualifications are old enough, crazy enough, and it is one of the six Nintendo Tigers, even if it is to be sold, most people think that Nintendo must take over first!

But Nintendo was indifferent, and the people of the Tsujimoto family didn't know Weishenme, and they actually sold it to Longteng, which completely subverted people's values!

$50 million, the media talked about it, thinking it was too cheap.

The Sankei Shimbun listed Capcom's assets one by one: "Capcom's headquarters building on Imperial Street is worth 3 billion, the patent rights of the CPS1 substrate are worth at least 3 billion in market valuation, the Mega Man brand is worth 1 billion, the patent rights of dozens of games such as Street Fighter, Kombat Whirlwind, and Devouring Heaven and Earth are at least 5 billion, and Capcom, which is at least 12 billion yen, will be sold for 6.9 billion?" Or was it sold to a Chinese business? ”

In response, Hayao Nakayama was the first to issue a strong protest: "Limiting commercial competition to narrow national limits is the most ignorant and stupid idea. When Sony bought CBS's film and music division, didn't Weishenme see the Sankei Shimbun jump out and accuse them? When Panasonic acquired the American MCA company, weishenme didn't see the Sankei Shimbun protest? It can be seen that the Sankei Shimbun is not only superficial, but hopelessly stupid! ”

Wang Zhe, president of Fengyun Game Software Co., Ltd., followed suit: "If Sankei Shimbun is willing to spend 6 billion yen to buy the patent rights of dozens of games that he watches haode, we are willing to sell them at any time and give them a 9% discount." ”

What are you kidding, how is it possible for Sankei Shimbun to buy game patent rights? Don't say that no one wants a 9 billion discount for 6 billion, a 1 discount to see if anyone wants it?

Except for Sega, whoever dares to buy Capcom is asking for their own death!

It's a pity that someone's brain is broken, and he can't turn around, and he still calculates property in a fake way!

In the final analysis, except for the 3 billion yen Capcom Building real estate that is worth a little money, the others are not worth mentioning at all, and Longteng Company is not short of them at all, giving them 6.9 billion yen, which is still licensed by Yang Yun and given to the Tsujimoto family for the elderly.

In addition, there is another purpose, which is the low-end 16-bit substrate CPS1, this board, Yang Yun unceremoniously accepted it for his own use, and passed the full set of jishu to Fang Jindong in China, and let him be in charge of research.

In real history, CPS1 and NEOGEO have been cracked countless times by hard-working Chinese hackers, resulting in a large number of pirated substrates flowing wildly in the Chinese market, on the one hand, making a huge contribution to the popularization of Chinese arcade games, on the other hand, causing the original creators to make no money at all, only to earn fame.

Yang Yun bought Capcom, and did not intend to take this road again, but was ready to use it as a bargaining chip, a bargaining chip with the state, and he wanted to contribute to the country for free as a condition, in exchange for the state's support for low-end substrates, support a large number of game production companies, and crack down on those small piracy groups that dare to violate the interests of the country.

As for the high-end 32-bit Model1, Longteng will still be firmly controlled in his own hands and will not be taken out easily.

After acquiring Capcom, Yang Yun set his sights on another opponent, SNK.

Again, the media and peers are watching SNK's performance.

Joined forces with Capcom to fight against Fengyun Company, but under the heavy blow, Capcom was acquired, and everyone wanted to see what happened to SNK, whether it really proved the curse of "whoever is the enemy of Longteng has only a dead end"!

A week later, on November 8, Yoshihiko Takado could not resist the pressure and announced that he was willing to sell 60% of his SNK shares!

It's just that this acquisition war has made Wang Zhe of Fengyun Game Software Company encounter huge resistance! (To be continued......)
