"If the Zelda series is handed over to Daqian, I'm afraid it will be another Pokemon-level classic game in the future!" Iwata Satoshi said lightly.

"Not necessarily!" Minoru Arakawa smiled.

"Arakawa-kun, I remember that you are in the company, and the most optimistic game is the Zelda series, and Zelda's Ocarina of Time was actually developed under your leadership, if you are not optimistic about Zelda, why would you come to negotiate with me in person today?" Satoshi Iwata's direct understanding pierced the true face of Minoru Arakawa.

In fact, this time Daqian came to buy Zelda, which was a plan that Minoru Arakawa sold to Boss Jia.

Arakawa really didn't have the size of the work, so he directly squeezed out the original president Zhong Yu and sat on the throne of the world's No. 1 game company.

Although Arakawa is really famous enough in the industry to suppress his novice subordinates, he still needs credit to gain a foothold in Daqian, such as the rank system that Daqian is about to launch this time, and Arakawa knows something vaguely.

As a newcomer, although it is impossible to book to level 1, it is obviously difficult to surpass those old people with outstanding merits and book to an extremely high level.

Therefore, it is best for me to make contributions now, and when I am graded, I can also be higher.

So Minoru Arakawa praised the Zelda series to his new boss, saying that this is the world's first, at least a game IP that can be tied with Pokemon, and expressed his hope that he will buy the copyright of the Zelda series by himself, and at the same time lead the development of the game by himself in the future.

Of course, Boss Jia knows the reputation of the Zelda series, after all, even in 2020, the game that ranks first on the game list is still "Zelda Ocarina of Time" released last year, if you can buy the Zelda series, let alone 180 million, even if it is 1.8 billion US dollars, it will be profitable.

But the problem is that Nintendo probably won't sell it, so Boss Jia didn't have Zelda's mind until Minoru Arakawa took the initiative to jump out and pat his chest to ensure that he could win the Zelda series, and Boss Jia authorized Minoru Arakawa to do this.

So in fact, Boss Jia wants to promote this matter more than Minoru Arakawa.

Sure enough, Minoru Arakawa knows the truth of hitting snakes and seven inches, and he also knows that Zelda is not as important as he imagined in the eyes of Nintendo, especially Satoshi Iwata, who is actually not so cold to the Zelda series, and he doesn't value it.

Otherwise, there would not have been the death of Yamauchi Pu in history.,During the ten years of Satoshi Iwata's rule,Zelda almost broke the gear.,At most, it's some works similar to Fanwai.,There is no main masterpiece debut.。

It wasn't until Satoshi Iwata abdicated due to illness that "Zelda Breath of the Wild" was established.

So Arakawa Minoru knows very well that Satoshi Iwata is actually willing to sell Selda, as long as the benefits are enough.

Sure enough, after hearing about 180 million again, Satoshi Iwata was still moved.

But Satoshi Iwata is not stupid, since Minoru Arakawa can offer a price of $180 million now, it proves that there is still room for price increases!

So, Satoshi Iwata and Minoru Arakawa began a back-and-forth verbal war, and Satoshi Iwata forced Minoru Arakawa to raise the price step by step, and finally raised the price of 180 million US dollars to 240 million.

But when it got here, Minoru Arakawa didn't let go anyway, and at the same time put on a posture that if the price went up, I wouldn't buy it.

On the other hand, Satoshi Iwata also felt that the price of $240 million was already very good, and the two sides gradually reached a consensus.

"But it needs the approval of the board!" Satoshi Iwata finally said.

"Don't worry, they will definitely agree, they see 240 million US dollars, see the profit statement, see the stock price rising again, how can there be no reason not to agree!" Satoshi Iwata said with a smile, and Minoru Arakawa nodded helplessly.

Indeed, the shareholders are interested in these things, and they will not care about the rest.

"Zelda series" is just one of Nintendo's hundreds of game IPs, which can be sold for a high price of $240 million, how could shareholders refuse.

Sure enough, after Satoshi Iwata handed over the transaction report to the board of directors and took out Daqian's lawyer's letter, the board of directors agreed to the deal without hesitation, and a few days later, Daqian Games and Nintendo broke the news that Daqian bought all the rights to the "Zelda series", but Nintendo can still continue to sell the previous version of "Zelda Ocarina of Time", but cannot develop and sell any new versions of Zelda works in production.

Satoshi Iwata was worried that the announcement of the news would cause anger among Zelda fans, but unexpectedly, Zelda's fans were cheering, and they celebrated that their favorite works had become Daqian, and Zelda could get more resources and a better platform in the future, which made Iwata Satoshi say that he was very hurt.

However, after seeing that Nintendo's stock price, which had been falling since the death of Pu Yamauchi, finally rose again, Satoshi Iwata was a lot happier.

"Chairman, I am fortunate to live up to my mission!" After completing the signing, Minoru Arakawa naturally came to report to Boss Jia. And seeing that he bought the Zelda series for only 240 million US dollars, Boss Jia's face was full of smiles, and at the same time, he wondered in his heart whether he could make a "Zelda Genshin Impact" or something in the future, it felt very cool.

"Arakawa-kun, I really didn't misunderstand you, pulling you to our Daqian is one of the most correct decisions I made!" Boss Jia patted Minoru Arakawa's shoulder and said with a smile.

"Chairman False, these are all things I should do!" Minoru Arakawa hurriedly said modestly, "But Chairman, there is still a word below, I don't know whether to say it or not!" ”

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"Chairman, shouldn't we be able to start developing the host!" Minoru Arakawa looked at Jia Yapeng and asked tentatively.

"Console game...... "Boss Jia smiled slightly when he heard it, "On the console, we Daqian are now cooperating with Sony very happily, our handheld and so the host are perfectly combined, each occupying a market, and the cooperation between the two sides is also very pleasant, which is very good, why should I make enemies for myself?" ”

"Chairman, the picture quality and game performance of the handheld are actually limited, and the most played by players in the world is also the console! The console is the best medium in the game industry, Daqian Games has achieved the ultimate in handheld and platform, and it would be a pity not to attack the console in the next step! ”

"What if I really don't have an interest in hosting?"

"No, I think you must be full of interest in the host, otherwise you don't need to dig me up, and there is no need to buy The Legend of Zelda, after all, a thousand machines can't perfectly show the fun of The Legend of Zelda, only the host is its stage!"

"But wouldn't that be a breach of the agreement between us and Sony?"

"Sony ......" Minoru Arakawa grinned, "Chairman, do you know about PSP?" ”
