Chapter Eighty-One: Buying Goat Star? Do you have 100 billion?
"Sue, EA came to the door again and offered $200 million to buy Goat Star Studios."
"Sue, the marketing director of Microsoft's gaming division wanted our Black Sun to give them a limited-time exclusivity, and they were willing to pay a $5 million limited-time exclusivity fee."
"Sue, Sony Computer Games Entertainment Department sent a game plan and wanted to outsource a handheld game to our studio."
"Sue, President Nintendo North Mi wanted to date me last night, and I turned him down! Truth be told, he really looks like a gorilla! By the way, Sue, Nintendo wants our games to land on their consoles, and they no longer charge royalties, do you think about it? ”
None of the information reported by Juno seems to be very valuable.
Looking to buy Goat Star Studios? First of all, do you have 100 billion dollars? Su Mo couldn't help but laugh sarcastically, and when he got up early in the morning, he heard these news, which could be regarded as a refreshment.
In fact, as long as you want, it is not a problem to let Sentinel produce a game of the level of "Black Sun" a month, and release a platinum game that sells at least one million copies a month, and Goat Star Studios has a monthly income of at least $30 million. That broken EA company in the United States wants to buy Goat Star Studio for 200 million US dollars, do you really think that Huaguo's game studio is cheap labor?
AS FOR THE LIMITED-TIME EXCLUSIVITY THAT MICROSOFT SAID, SUMER IS NOT INTERESTED IN LIMITED-TIME EXCLUSIVITY, AND NOW IN THE CONSOLE GAME MARKET, SONY'S PS4 SALES ARE IN THE LEAD, EVEN MORE THAN DOUBLING MICROSOFT'S XBOXONE SALES. If you want to buy the limited-time exclusive of "Black Sun" for $5 million, big brother, if you don't come up with $50 million, which third-party triple-A game in the industry will let a backward console have a limited-time exclusivity?
Su Mo is not interested in Sony's handheld games, Sony's handheld is basically dead, and the time to do outsourced games is completely enough for Sentinel to make a second-rate console game, and make more money, so why bother to engage in any handheld games.
And let Goat Star Studio's game land on the Nintendo console WIIU, to be honest, Su Mo is not very interested, it's not that he looks down on WIIU, it's just that the performance of the WIIU console is really a little low, and he can't run "Black Sun" at all!
""Black Sun" will be released tomorrow, will anyone jump out and let me slap me in the face?" Pulling open the window and looking at the morning fog outside the window, Su Mo thought of Miles, the director of EA, that guy has denigrated the work of Goat Star Studio many times, and I don't know if he will jump out to denigrate "Black Sun" this time.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, someone knocked on the door, and it was Liu Sheng's colleague who came to 'check the accounts'. Originally, the audit should have been the business of the tax department. Obviously, these two should be 'entrusted by others'.
Two men, both wearing black coats and black eyes. If you change the black coat to a black suit, it really looks a bit like the agent in "Men in Black".
"Hello, I'm Duan Chen."
"Li Feng."
The two of them briefly introduced themselves, and began to look at the entire room, only to hear the tall Duan Chen speak: "Su Mo, don't worry, we are only here today to verify some basic information." ”
Su Mo poured water for the two of them, the person who came was a guest, and besides, this morning was more polite, much more pleasing to the eye than the female boss of Liu Sheng last time, what is the second woman who is called.
"No problem, just ask." Su Mo nodded, sat on the sofa and took a sip of water.
"Goat Star Studio is your game studio, your one-man studio?" Duan Chen started the first question, while Li Feng sat aside with a notebook and pen to make notes.
"I'm in a studio by myself." Su Mo nodded in reply.
"You make zuò games that are mainly sold to foreigners?"
"Yes, sell to players around the world."
"I've played Beast Soccer Origins, it's a good game. May I ask, did you make these games yourself? ”
"I conceived and planned it, and it still took some time to make Zuò. I often work overtime at night, an overtime is an all-nighter, no way, finally find a way to make money, while I am young, I make a little more money, and I will retire in the future. Su Mo began to lie seriously, and he was not afraid that the two of them would find out.
The two people in front of him should also have special abilities, but in front of him, they can only be regarded as ant level and do not pose a threat.
Duan Chen nodded, and asked again, "That's tired enough." We know that every one of your game earnings is legally taxed, but now the problem is the tax point. Su Mo, let's get straight to the point, it's someone who thinks you make too much money and pay too little tax, and he thinks that the industry you are involved should raise the tax point. ”
Raising the tax point? Su Mo couldn't help but smile: "Friend, Goat Star Studio's tax payment is in accordance with the tax law, not according to someone's ideas. He wants to raise the tax point of Goat Star Studio, can he set up a project? ”
"He can't." Duan Chen also smiled: "Okay, Su Mo's last question, someone asked me to ask you, how much do you need to pay if you want to acquire your Goat Star Studio?" ”
Acquisition of Goat Star Studios?
Why is it the acquisition of Goat Star Studios again? Didn't these people do a basic investigation into the technical prowess of Goat Star Studios before they asked this question? The last question raised by Duan Chen was a ridiculous question in Su Mo's opinion.
"Buying Goat Star Studios? Quite simply, if anyone is willing to pay a hundred billion, I'm willing to sell Goat Star Studios. ”
Su Mo looked at Duan Chen very seriously and added.
"I forgot to mention, it's dollars."
"A hundred billion dollars? A game studio? Li Feng, who was making a record next to him, frowned, stared at Su Mo several times, and still recorded this number in his notebook.
"I'm afraid no one on Earth will be able to buy your Goat Star Studio." Duan Chen shrugged and smiled, he was also a little surprised by the price offered by Su Mo, Liu Sheng had greeted him before he came, it was best not to use any special means against Su Mo, and it was best not to mention the acquisition of Goat Star Studio.
Originally, he thought that a few hundred million would be enough to buy Goat Star Studio, but now, he felt that Liu Sheng was right, this Su Mo was a crazy computer genius!
Spending $100 billion to acquire an independent game studio? Whoever does that must have been kicked in the head!
"It's true that no one on Earth can buy Goat Star Studios." Su Mo smiled and agreed with Duan Chen's words, he looked at the time and took the initiative to ask Duan Chen.
"Goat Star Studio's latest game "Black Sun" will be released tomorrow, Mr. Duan, guess how much "Black Sun" can sell on the first day?"
"The sales volume on the first day is ......" Duan Chen groaned slightly, and quoted a number: "900,000 sets." ”
"Mr. Li Feng, what do you think?" Su Mo looked at Li Feng again.
Li Feng put down his pen, glanced at the wall clock, and reported a number: "1 million sets, I still have a certain understanding of the console game industry." ”
It seems that the two did have a certain understanding of Goat Star Studio before they came. Whether it is 900,000 sets or 1 million sets, Su Mo is not very satisfied, he wants "Black Sun" to sell more than 1 million sets on the first day! Let those who want to buy Goat Star Studio see that if you don't have money, don't talk to Goat Star Studio about the acquisition!
"Su Mo, isn't the price negotiable?" Duan Chen seemed to be unwilling, and asked again.
"100 billion dollars, no more, no less. Duan Chen, do you believe that My Goat Star Studio will become the world's top game company and the leader of the global game industry in the near future! Su Mo said with a smile.
"I believe it." Duan Chen nodded and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand: "Su Mo, thank you for your cooperation, it is much more pleasant to communicate with you than with many people." ”
Su Mo stretched out his hand and shook hands with Duan Chen, and then took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with Li Feng, who was a little hesitant.
"Me too, it's much more pleasant to talk to you than to talk to the woman above you."
When Duan Chen and Li Feng heard this, they glanced at each other, and Duan Chen smiled and said, "Su Mo, there are many disturbances today, I hope you can keep a heart that loves games." In fact, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I once had a dream, which was to set up a game company and dominate the global console game market! ”
Duan Chen and Li Feng left, and Su Mo personally sent the two to the elevator. To be honest, the conversation was very pleasant, much better than Liu Sheng's female boss, Duan Chen and Li Feng are normal people, so that female boss is a second goods.
"This is a Twitch livestream, I'm at the launch of Goat Star Studio's Black Sun, and now, I'm inviting our Goat Star Studio's Beauty President, Ms. Juno, to the stage!"
"Black Sun" is about to go on sale, who has 100 billion dollars to buy Goat Star Studios? (PSS: Again, the theme of this book is lighthearted, plus yy cool.) Thanks to the 'Admiral of Guangzhou' for the reward, there should be four changes today. )
