Chapter 442 Financing
In order to give his wife a more comprehensive understanding of the game, Kentaro Miyamoto said: "There is a special difference between online games, mobile games and triple-A game masterpieces.
Whether it's an online game or a mobile game, you don't have to do it all at once. In a sense, it's a semi-finished product.
If the market reaction is okay, then the relevant game companies will continue to do it, like a puzzle, piece by piece.
On the contrary, if the market response is poor, it will inevitably be directly cut in half by the relevant game companies. Removing the shelves, shutting down the server and stopping the service, etc., are all routine operations of game companies.
It's not a one-shot deal at all, but a great deal about player retention. That is, to keep players playing and paying.
Once a triple-A game is launched, it can only be a finished product. Even if there will be some updates later, they will fix bugs, adjust values, and so on.
The structure of the overall game does not change, nor does it fall on piece by piece like a puzzle. This is a one-time deal, a one-time buyout.
Even if the game is popular, it will only have a sequel. Even if there are other things that appear later, they are basically works that belong to the IF line.
Whether players buy it or not will not affect the main plot of the game in the slightest. If you buy it, it only enriches the plot of the game, and if you don't buy it, it will not affect the final ending of the game's plot. ”
Miki Miyamoto just winked at him and said, "When it comes to games, you gush endlessly." How do you have so much information about game investment projects? ”
Kentaro Miyamoto explained truthfully: "After your deposits in a commercial bank and the net value of financial products reach a certain amount, the commercial bank will provide you with private banking services.
The financial investment products recommended to you are not the public funds and public bonds recommended at the counter of bank outlets, but will be transferred to private funds, private bonds and so on.
The latter has much more annual income than the former. Of course, the risks also increase. As for how to choose and how much to buy, that's your decision.
For commercial banks, a $10 million high-net-worth customer and a $1 billion high-net-worth customer are not the same thing.
There is a big difference between an investment recommendation for the former and an investment recommendation for the latter. When investment banks select clients, they also have a similar screening mechanism.
It can be as small as a company, as large as a city, or even a country's infrastructure financing, bond issuance...... will be in it. ”
He paused at this point, and then said: "Whether it is a company, a city, or a country that wants financing, most of the cases will not take the initiative to seek it, but through commercial banks, investment banks and other financial institutions to complete it for it."
To give you a better understanding, I'll give you an example. The funding requirement for Grand Theft Auto 6 is $2 billion. However, the company that developed this one game simply couldn't afford to make that much money.
Then, it will find a commercial bank or an investment bank. As for who to look for, that's the decision of the president of the game company.
This is generally a commercial bank or investment bank that has long-term business dealings with the company and maintains a good business relationship.
Of course, if a certain commercial bank or investment bank offers better conditions, it is also possible. In business, no one is at odds with money.
Specialized financial institutions such as commercial banks will first formulate strategies for companies that need financing, so as to raise the amount of funds that the company needs.
Only after completing this task can commercial banks and other professional financial institutions get the commission agreed with the company in advance.
Otherwise, it can only be regarded as a financing failure. Or, the insufficient part of the funding gap, and then find other ways to solve it.
This involves the scope of private equity, and it is not possible to raise funds publicly from the general public, so it is marketed to those of us who are rich or companies.
I'm more interested in investing in games, and people will actively recommend them to me.
So, I was able to learn more about investing in games than anyone else. If my investment inclination is in corporate bonds, people will be more likely to sell me this aspect of investment.
Whether it is a commercial bank or an investment bank, there are data models and various analyses for each VIP customer, especially VIP large customers.
This is similar to the big data push on the network. The more you like to watch something, and the more you like what kind of subject and type of video you like, the more the website will recommend these to you. ”
Miki Miyamoto finally understood thoroughly: "Rich people are very different, and they can always enjoy the best quality and intimate services." ”
Kentaro Miyamoto smiled and said, "It's not like you said that. Whether it is a commercial bank, or a professional financial institution such as an investment bank, it will still sell you some junk investment projects.
Even the big banks, the big investment banks, are no exception. Often at this time, you have to keep a clear head and don't be deceived by its rhetoric and sales skills. I'm rich, but I'm not stupid.
Back then, when Facebook was raising funds, it also used a method of playing sidekicks and tricks. That's the nonsense of avoiding the important and trivial.
As soon as investors see this, they generally don't want to be patient anymore. This is often either skipped or simply a cursory look.
It wasn't Facebook that came up with the idea, but a financing strategy that was commissioned by a financial institution to come up with for it. In this way, investors have a wrong judgment that the risk is small.
But it's actually risky. In the end, the wrong game was wrong. This makes the deceived investors profitable. However, such luck is rare in the investment world. ”
When Miyakoto heard him say this, he immediately remembered and said, "This reminds me of Greece's financial fraud in order to be able to successfully join the European Union." The professional financial institution that helped Greece with financial fraud was Goldman Sachs. ”
Kentaro Miyamoto nodded and said with a smile: "Now, you should know that investing in this job is not easy to do!" Didn't you think the investment plan you gave me was ridiculous? ”
Miki Miyamoto came to a death and didn't admit it: "What's ridiculous? I don't think so. Don't talk nonsense, it's not my reason, it's yours.
Don't think that I don't know, you clearly don't want to vote for me, and deliberately find an excuse to embarrass me, so that I can retreat. ”
