Chapter 365: I asked you to erase the zeros, but you erased all the zeros?!
"Swiftvine?"
Hearing this!
Toru Moritani was stunned, even a little confused!
What does this have to do with Xun Teng?
Besides, Gu Sang had said before that there was no need to worry about Konami this time.
Once Call of Duty comes out, no one can compete with it!
This time, they really don’t need any publicity and promotion. They can just wait for Yexia Island to collapse and dominate the gaming circle with the quality of their game.
"...Mr. Joetsu, I think you misunderstood,"
Tetsuya Moriya said:
"We did not organize any public opinion attacks against Yexia Island ."
"Ah... uh... oh..."
Hearing this, Shangyue Jingzheng was slightly stunned, and then suddenly said:
"Don't worry, Moriya-san, I really came here to ask for help this time. There is no recording, and I don't have any other intentions."
"What I mean is, can we... put aside the previous unpleasantness for the time being? For this, I am willing to give your company the final share..."
Before he could finish!
Then Moriya interrupted him with some helplessness and amusement:
"Mr. Joetsu, I am speaking to you in a frank manner. We will not use the assistance of friendly companies unless it is necessary. And considering the current form of Call of Duty, do you really think we... need to do so?"
It’s so hurtful!
Although Moriya has been very restrained and described the current situation with the mildest words possible.
But his words were like a sharp blade, piercing into Shangyue Jingzheng's heart, making him almost vomit blood!
[With your attitude, do we really need to use the killer weapon like Xun Teng? Do you think we are just sitting around with 80,000 visitors and a score of 9.9 on the first day? Attack by public opinion? Oh, you are worthy? ]
——That’s what Tetsuya Moritani meant.
This is really fucking heartbreaking.
The most important thing is!
Kamikoshi Keizo hesitated for a long time and found that Moritani was right!
That’s right!
The popularity of "Call of Duty" is now higher than any previous Golden Wind game!
The score was a blast from the start!
A masterpiece that claims to be a new benchmark for modern shooting games!
The total investment was 312 million US dollars, even surpassing their Konami works for the first time!
A global heated discussion!
For a game like this...is it really necessary to launch a public opinion attack on them?
Just like the question implied in Moritani Tetsuya's words, Joetsu Keizo couldn't help but ask himself in his heart -
Do I deserve it?
The answer is obviously no.
But I just thought of this!
Suddenly! A thunderbolt struck Shangyue Jingzheng's mind!
If this targeted public opinion attack...is not the work of Golden Wind...
So--
hiss--!!!
Keizo Sugetsu shuddered all over!
A naive adjustment that shouldn't have been made... a vicious bug that shouldn't have appeared... the overwhelming attacks on Yexia Island... the frequent accusations against him personally ...
Shift the blame to others and take the blame!
An extremely terrifying yet undoubted guess was about to emerge in Shangyue Jingzheng's mind, making him instantly dejected!
I'm afraid this defeat has nothing to do with Golden Wind.
But someone did it on purpose!
They deliberately made Yexia Island, which was participating in the exhibition, into its current state, in order to put the blame entirely on him, the president who "insisted on letting Yexia Island participate in the exhibition", and use this as an excuse to settle accounts with him!
Yes! Of course he could say that it was not his intention to allow Yexia Island to participate in the exhibition! He could even raise his arms and shout out for his injustice!
but!
Is it useful?
If you don’t know, why not ask Tetsuya Moritani on the other end of the phone? Will it help?
Life is full of such drama!
Right now!
Just like that moment!
Masakazu Nakamura and the shareholders who support him.
It was easy for Keimasa Kamikoshi to realize who wanted to settle accounts with him.
Because only Masakazu Nakamura, as the studio director, could make so many temporary changes to the game.
Even if these vicious bugs in the feel adjustment were not tampered with, Yexia Island would still not be a match for Call of Duty, but at least in that case, he would not be in such a passive situation now.
Think of this.
Keizo Kamikoshi couldn't help but feel cold all over!
Then, he changed his tone completely to one of pleading, as if he no longer cared about saving face, and said hurriedly:
"Moriya...Moriya-san! When will President Gu come back? Please give me a chance to talk to him!"
"After all, now... now only Mr. Gu's joining can fundamentally reverse my current decline!"
"How about this, as long as Mr. Gu is willing to consider it, he can set the price, and we can negotiate a lot..."
"Mr. Joetsu,"
Before he could finish, Moriya interrupted him, speaking in a light tone, and extinguished the cigarette butt in the ashtray:
"Konami's internal disputes have nothing to do with us, Golden Wind."
"Nowadays, our company is busy with internal affairs. As the president, Mr. Gu has many official duties and is too busy to accept special invitations."
"The above is my answer from father to father."
Speaking of which!
Moriya paused, then continued:
"And my personal answer is—"
"The shareholders' internal struggle for power involves both overt and covert tactics. I will not let my CEO take the risk alone and get involved in such a dangerous internal struggle. After all..."
"Gu Sang is a person worthy of loyal following."
Plop!
Hearing this!
Keizo Sugetsu slumped weakly on his seat, his whole body looked as if his soul had been sucked out of him, his eyes were staring blankly.
Without a doubt.
Moritani's last words were for him.
[Your selfishness is too strong, you are not someone worth following, but Gu Sheng is. ]
For the safety of my loyal followers.
"We are sorry that we can't do anything about this matter,"
After a pause, Moriya continued:
"But if one day Mr. Shangyue is really desperate, you are welcome to call again. Maybe Gu Sang will have a solution."
Click.
That’s it!
Moriya Tetsuya hung up the phone.
The phone went busy.
At this point, the dispute between Toruya Moritani and Keimasa Joetsu seemed to have come to an end with this not-so-pleasant conversation.
…
"...And it's time for me to go out and fish and enjoy life, hahahaha——"
at the same time!
The man sitting opposite Gu Sheng, wearing a baseball cap, a leather jacket and a T-shirt with the "Resident Evil 7" logo, smiled easily.
Sanshang Shinji.
good!
Moriya didn't mean to evade Kamikoshi Jingzheng, but Gu Sheng really went out to discuss official business today -
"Resident Evil" series copyright acquisition!
Yes.
This time when he came to Tokyo, Japan, in addition to attending the Video Game Festival, Gu Sheng also had a very important matter to deal with, that is to meet with Shinji Misaki, the famous father of Resident Evil, to discuss the acquisition of the Resident Evil IP copyright!
Speaking of which, it was Shinji Sanshang who took the initiative to bring up this matter.
Because Gu Sheng was not in a hurry.
Resident Evil 7 has only been out for a short time. Although 7 and 8 are series, several years have passed judging by the time within the game, and Ethan and Mia's children have been born.
Although in reality it is not like in the game, it will take several years for a sequel to be developed.
But now, the development of Biochemistry 8 is not very urgent for Golden Wind.
"But I'm anxious..."
Shinji Mishang spoke sincerely, with a joking tone.
I was eager to get off work and go fishing in the Pacific Ocean.
It's obvious!
Shinji Misaka is very satisfied with the huge success of Resident Evil 7!
A brand new story! A brand new protagonist!
Under the deeper world view, the struggle of ordinary people under the influence of the biochemical crisis is vividly presented by Golden Wind!
Gu Sheng fulfilled his previous promise.
This is the story of an ordinary man, the story of an ordinary husband.
It returns to the original horror of the Resident Evil series, and with a near-perfect game rhythm, allows players to experience a hearty, scream-filled horror journey.
Although after that, many players called it "the least Resident Evil-like Resident Evil."
But as an experienced producer and the founder of this series, Shinji Misaki highly praised Resident Evil 7!
He saw something newer and saw the power of Golden Wind.
More importantly, he is also looking forward to what Ethan Winters, an ordinary but extremely qualified husband, will encounter in Resident Evil 8.
According to Gu Sheng, in Resident Evil 8, Ethan's identity will have a qualitative leap - he is going to be a father.
The much-anticipated sequel.
In this regard, Shinji Misao gave such a high evaluation.
And that's it!
Regarding Golden Wind's acquisition of the IP copyright of the "Resident Evil" series, there doesn't seem to be much value to discuss.
Shinji Misaka finally found a manufacturer worthy of trust, asking them to complete the story that Ethan has not yet told and improve the unfinished world view of Resident Evil.
As for the price...
Shinji Mishang didn't ask for it.
Five hundred million dollars was just a joke, he wasn't short of money, he was just a lazy guy who wanted to retire as soon as possible and go fishing in the Pacific Ocean.
One dollar is enough.
Shinji Mishang even offered such a price.
Just a token of my appreciation.
In this regard, Gu Sheng naturally refused and was more than happy to agree.
Sanshang Shinji: OK.
Gu Sheng: Okay.
Shen Miaomiao: If I can do it, then you two grandmothers and your grandchildren can do it too.
no!
Absolutely not!
After hearing Gu Sheng's report from afar, Shen Miaomiao almost took a flight from Binjiang to Tokyo on the spot!
Buy the copyright with one knife? !
Are you kidding me?
I told you before that you could erase the zeros appropriately, but you erased all the zeros?!
Besides!
Even if you really erase all the zeros from 500 million, there will still be five dollars left!
You are so nice!
One knife?!
If you dare to negotiate this price and go home, I will cut you off!
[Please turn on the video call!!!]
Shen Miaomiao angrily scolded the spendthrift old man.
Damn it, if you really take over this IP in one fell swoop, my Resident Evil 8 project will still lose money!
that's all!
Shen Miaomiao became an iPad decoration on the negotiation table between Gu Sheng and San Shang Zhenji.
Gu Sheng frowned every time he looked over, and even wanted to put two fruit plates in front of Shen Miaomiao.
"...Well, I can understand Mr. San Shang's anxiety and empathize with him."
Shen Miaomiao smiled in the video.
She was not saying this nonsense, Shinji Mishang's life was truly her dream.
"However... please also understand our current situation and difficulties, Mr. San Shang,"
Shen Miaomiao said:
"Now, Golden Wind is surrounded by powerful enemies. We dare not overstep the line in any way."
"I know very well that Mr. San Shang is very satisfied with our Resident Evil 7. This price is a recognition of our work. We are very honored."
"But we really can't buy such a huge IP at a single price,"
“Too many people are watching us.”
"If we really bought the Resident Evil IP at this price, it would not only bring trouble to ourselves, but also bring many hidden dangers to the subsequent development of Resident Evil 8. Do you understand?"
Shen Miaomiao's words made some sense, and Sanshang Zhensi nodded.
Whether you are an individual or a business, there will always be a large number of people who cannot bear to see you getting a bargain, especially your peers.
Shinji Sanshang felt the same way.
Looking back, when he first created the Resident Evil series, it was a huge success and attracted a lot of unwarranted attacks and abuse.
What's more, Golden Wind has picked up a coveted super IP for free.
"So what Mr. Shen means is...?"
Hearing this, San Shang Shinji nodded and looked at Shen Miaomiao in the video.
Shen Miaomiao smiled and raised her hand slightly to signal:
"What I mean is... Mr. San Shang, look here... is it appropriate to..."
Seeing this scene, Gu Sheng's heart skipped a beat!
Why!
Shen Miaomiao, you spendthrift old woman, what are you doing?
What does your gesture mean?
What do you mean by "surrounded by powerful enemies"? Haven't we seen enough of "surrounded by powerful enemies"? Don't be confused!
What are you going to do with something he's willing to sell for just one dollar?!
However!
Before Gu Sheng could even open his mouth!
Then Shen Miaomiao in the video smiled cutely and said sweetly:
"Can you raise the price a bit? We'll feel more at ease buying it!"
