Chapter 366: The Siberian Titan Dragon crushes the asteroid with its bare hands!
I!
you!
he!
Tsk!
After hearing what Shen Miaomiao said, Gu Sheng was speechless!
Our family is too rich, right?
What kind of price are you raising at this time?
He is just a fisherman who is in a hurry to get to the Pacific Ocean and sell off the IP in his hands at a low price!
Yidao, as the saying goes, if you don’t take advantage of a good opportunity, you’re a bastard!
Why do you care what other manufacturers think? We have been facing powerful competitors for a long time.
Besides, the money you save here is equivalent to creating revenue by selling the game in advance!
Let's assume that the market valuation of Resident Evil is 500 million dollars. Now, Shinji Misaka is willing to give it to us for one dollar, which is actually equivalent to free.
That means we made a profit of 500 million dollars without paying a cent.
Five hundred million dollars! Based on the price of Resident Evil 7 at $60 per copy, this five hundred million dollars is equivalent to the sales of more than 8.3 million copies of the game!
What kind of martial ethics are you talking about here!
Gu Sheng roared in his heart and beat his chest and stamped his feet.
but!
It has come to this.
Now, no matter how much he regretted, it was of no use. After all, little Nezha had already said it.
Gu Sheng looked at the ornamental version of Nezha with a bit of despair.
On the other side, San Shang Zhensi raised his eyebrows slightly in surprise after hearing what Shen Miaomiao said, and looked over:
"Then according to Mr. Shen, to what extent should I raise the price?"
You'd better add until we go bankrupt.
Selling everything we have won't satisfy our hatred. It would be best if we could be forced to sell our blood.
Shen Miaomiao thought secretly.
In that case, I would be able to take off right away and achieve financial freedom right away.
"I think..."
Shen Miaomiao thought for a moment, then tentatively extended a small palm:
"Five hundred million dollars? After all, that was the starting price of the stock in the market..."
puff--
Gu Sheng almost vomited blood.
Five hundred million dollars?!
Yes! When we wanted to acquire this IP, the estimated starting price in the market was this much. Even now, with the release of Resident Evil 7, the price of Resident Evil IP is even more expensive.
But the problem is——
"In this case, a large part of the meaning of your previous production of Resident Evil 7 is gone, isn't it?"
San Shang Zhenji was obviously quite surprised by Shen Miaomiao's offer, and said with a bit of a smile.
Why did Golden Wind want to make Resident Evil 7?
One of the reasons is that Shinji Misaka wanted to check out their strength in advance and see whether Golden Wind has the ability to revitalize the Resident Evil IP and get it back on its feet.
The second reason is that they could not afford such high copyright purchase fees at that time!
The starting price is $500 million, and they can’t even afford the basic starting price, let alone raising the price!
That’s why there is a method called “authorization”!
Oh, it's okay now.
Taking into account the huge sales of Resident Evil 7, plus the promotional activities held by the Yiyou platform some time ago, the launch of the new Apex pass and the new activities of PUBG, plus the receipt of advertising fees for the variety show "Longing for Life".
Adding all the various factors together, Golden Wind finally managed to gather 500 million dollars in liquid funds.
Are you going to take out all of it right away?
Gu Sheng knew that if he didn't speak up at this moment, Shen Miaomiao would lose all the company, so he quickly spoke:
"Well... I think what Mr. San Shang said makes a lot of sense."
"The price of one knife is Mr. San Shang's affirmation of our Golden Wind. It also reflects Mr. San Shang's personal noble spirit and respect for the game."
"We Chinese have an old saying that goes 'A gift of goose feathers from a thousand miles away is worth more than the sentiment behind it'. Although a knife is not much, the friendship and recognition it symbolizes are priceless."
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao frowned:
“Then we should not let Mr. San Shang’s friendship go to waste!”
"Treating others with courtesy has always been a traditional virtue of our China. Everyone knows that Guan Yu is a man of great integrity and aloofness, but Cao Mengde still gave him a fine horse to show his respect. Now that Mr. San Shang has given us such a generous gift, how can we lose our manners and be laughed at?"
"Tsk," Gu Sheng was shocked: "But the problem is that..."
"Hey——" Shen Miaomiao waved her hand: "If you say that, it would be biased..."
At the negotiating table!
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao, one thinking about saving money and the other thinking about squandering it, started a debate by citing numerous references and classics, trying to convince the other.
And on the opposite side.
Shinji Mishang quietly took out his mobile phone and opened the simultaneous translation software. Just like watching a movie, he watched the two people's verbal battle while watching the subtitles that popped up on his mobile phone. He crossed his arms and watched the debate with great interest.
Mmm! Wonderful!
Director Shen over there flashed a cold light first, then shot out like a dragon, and with a move of Xiao Huang angrily stepped on the speed bump with great momentum!
Wow! Beautiful!
Mr. Gu on this side used Huafa to neutralize the opponent's attack, and then used a lightning five-whip backhand to cut directly to the vital point!
Wow! That's great!
Mr. Shen over there was not afraid of the attack and took a deep step forward. He used the Little Black Bear to snatch the red cassock, which made the opponent stagger repeatedly!
Wow! So strong!
Mr. Gu here also steadied his body, turned sideways and used a small leaping frog to dominate RT-Mart, trying to gain distance and launch a long-range attack!
However, just when the intense situation that had lasted for ten minutes was about to enter a stalemate!
Suddenly!
San Shang Shinji saw a sentence suddenly pop up on his mobile phone screen -
[Don’t you love me anymore?! ]
This is it! The Siberian Titanosaur crushed the asteroid with its bare hands!
OHHHHHHH——!!!
Shinji Sanshang secretly sighed that he was able to see such an amazing debate competition before his retirement, which made his life perfect!
The winner is decided!
final!
After a ridiculous abstract debate, Gu Sheng was finally defeated by the rogue offensive of little Nezha.
Both parties unanimously agreed to acquire the world-renowned super IP "Resident Evil" at a Chinese-style lucky price of US$188.88 million.
In response, Shinji Mishang said: As long as you two are happy.
The acquisition was completed. Sanshang Shinji also tried hard to suppress his smile, cleared his throat and said:
"Then I'll leave everything to Mr. Gu and Golden Wind from now on."
Gu Sheng nodded seriously: "I won't let you down."
"call--"
Hearing this, Sanshang Shinji also sighed softly, as if he was relieved, but also a little disappointed:
"Then... When is Mr. Gu going to start the development?"
"It will take some time,"
Gu Sheng said:
"Now that Resident Evil 7 has just concluded, if a sequel is released in a short period of time, it will inevitably cause players to become aesthetically fatigued,"
"Besides, Steel Chain Fingers is currently working on another project, so for the time being I am a little...too busy to handle it."
oh?
Hearing this, Sanshang Shinji raised his eyebrows slightly:
"Recently I've only heard about the popularity of Blues' Call of Duty, but I haven't heard about any new developments in the Steel Chain Fingers."
"Ah, haha, that's because this time the Steel Chain Fingers is a joint development project with our Chinese company, Nuyan, and the publicity is handled by Nuyan."
Gu Sheng said:
"It's a racing... er... or rather, not so racing game."
ah?
Gu Sheng's words confused San Shang Shinji.
What is a racing game that is not so racing?
"Please forgive me for saying so much, Mr. Gu,"
Shinji Mishang was very curious:
"Can you tell me the details?"
I can see it!
Shinji Mishang was just simply interested. After all, what bad intentions could a fisherman have?
Gu Sheng did not deliberately conceal it:
"It's the Europa Interactive Entertainment Expo, one of Fury's key annual events."
This is also a regionally hosted global gaming expo, usually held in January every year.
Its nature is somewhat similar to the [Game Industry Development and Design Media Conference] hosted by China Entertainment Electronics, and is a secondary game exhibition under the world's four major exhibitions.
There are quite a few game exhibitions like this one that are held almost everywhere in the world.
But the reason why the Europa Expo stands out among a number of similar regional game exhibitions and is known by countless players and media is because of its "specificity".
Yes, the most popular game type at the Europa Expo has always been neither shooting, action, nor sports.
But racing.
As the world's top "racing game" exhibition hall, it is even called the Europa Racing Game Show.
This is why a secondary exhibition becomes one of Nuyan’s key projects every year.
After all, Nuyan is also a top-tier racing game manufacturer in China and even in the world.
"In fact, this exhibition was originally the same as in previous years. Fury was still planning to use the works exhibited at the Tokyo Game Festival to participate in the Europa Expo at the same time."
Seeing that San Shang Zhensi was quite interested, Gu Sheng chatted a little more:
“But this year is a little different…”
Because of Yunwei.
Yes, Yunwei, whose stock price had been hit by the Golden Wind and whose studio was even acquired by a reverse takeover, has finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems to be an attempt to reverse the previous decline.
This time, Yunwei set his sights on the "racing" game type.
After all, the players of this type of game are relatively fixed, and as one of the three major categories of guns, cars and balls, the market is not small.
If Yunwei had used a little brainpower and patched up the popular racing games on the market, relying on his own strong financial resources, he could have conquered many players with his industrial level alone.
In fact, Yunwei did the same.
only!
Yun Wei, who has regained his vitality, has more ambitions than just this.
Given Codick's character of having his cake and eating it too, since they have set their sights on this piece of cake, then everyone else at the table who is eating the cake is their enemy.
It's none of your business whether I can eat the whole cake or not.
But I have to find a way to get your piece of cake.
"Now, looking at the major racing game companies in Asia,"
Gu Sheng said:
"Besides Konami's Takasugi Studio, the only studio that can be ranked high is Fury."
Whether it is IP, technical strength, or commercial potential, Fury is considered a leader in the field of racing games.
"Before, Yunwei was helpless against us because we were not listed. Even if they wanted to do something bad, they couldn't do it."
Gu Sheng said:
"But Nuyan is different, they are a listed company,"
"Yunwei's methods against listed companies are varied and almost always successful,"
"And the one who was unlucky this time was Fury."
They are being hostilely acquired.
In fact, if there was a time traveler like Gu Sheng in Nuyan Company at this time, he would definitely not be unfamiliar with this situation.
Hostile takeover.
In Gu Sheng’s previous life, Ubisoft had been treated like this by Vivendi.
They used the huge amount of money in their hands to buy up Ubisoft shares circulating in the market. Once Vivendi's shareholding exceeds 30%, Vivendi will join Ubisoft's board of directors, and Ubisoft must accept Vivendi 's acquisition invitation.
now.
This is the situation that Nuyan is facing.
The solution to this problem is very simple -
Attract investment and sell games to make big money, take back the shares from Yunwei at a higher price, and prevent you from entering the board of directors and becoming a major shareholder.
In this way, the decision-making power is ultimately in the hands of Nuyan, and hostile takeovers will no longer exist.
“Although we are unable to support Fury with funds, after all, their market value is higher than that of Golden Wind. They have to find ways to attract investment themselves.”
At this point, Gu Sheng took a deep breath, spread his hands and smiled slightly:
"But we can still defeat Yunwei in terms of production, help Nuyan in terms of public opinion, and help them improve their game sales. "
This is not just a personal relationship between Gu Sheng and Director Li Xiaofeng of Nuyan.
At the same time, it is also the suggestion of Jiang Yingcai, Chairman of Huayu Electronics.
It is also a suggestive opinion from the upper echelons.
What's more, in this cooperation, the profit-sharing plan offered by Fury is fair, and it fully respects Golden Wind's suggestions and plans for the game.
Gu Sheng had no reason to refuse such cooperation.
And his sincerity was fully demonstrated in this cooperative game.
"We want to make a special game, a game that is derived from the racing genre but is not a racing game..."
