Resource Tycoon Reborn

"Onimusha", which has received rave reviews, continues to make rapid progress in the Japanese game market. In just one week, sales have reached 3.72 million units, setting a new sales record for action games in Japan!

At the same time, Sony's PS2 weekly sales surged 367% compared to last week, overwhelming Sega Corporation and Nintendo in one fell swoop, becoming the best-selling game console in Japan that week. This made

Sony employees have been in a particularly good mood this week. Of course, at the same time, most of the employees at Sega Corporation and Nintendo are in a bad mood. Although the World Cup is just around the corner, it still can't make them happy.

Their mood improved.

Compared with Sony employees, Sony's management personnel are not entirely in a happy mood.

The huge sales of "Onimusha" have boosted the sales of PS2 consoles. It can be said that this is what Sony is happy to see. I believe that as time goes by, more PS2 consoles will be purchased by players.

But this has also brought them a lot of trouble. The better the sales of "Onimusha" are, and the greater the growth of PS2 consoles, the more difficult it will be to negotiate with Gamestation! Heike Jiro and the others visited them a few days ago

, it can be said that in the end it was fruitless. Fang Mingyuan neither agreed to Sony's request nor clearly informed all parties about the ownership rights of the subsequent works of "Onimusha". The future "Onimusha 2" will still

Is it an exclusive work for Sony's PS2 console, or will it become a multi-platform and multi-version game? Many people are eager to know this question, especially those players of Sega Corporation's console!

Seeing that such a "cool" game could not be played on the "Aquarius" console, they were also very angry. If they didn't know that the management of Sega Corporation would definitely be very angry about this matter, I am afraid they would have been

Someone went to the door of Sega Corporation to pull up a banner to protest. Didn't it mean that "Fang" and Gamestation are both directors and shareholders of Sega Corporation? Why don't you take care of your own people at all? Make a version of "Aquarius" and make money

Wouldn’t it be more money?

Moreover, the management of Sony Corporation has had another problem recently.

I don’t know who revealed it, but there was a rumor in Japan recently that Hong Kong’s Kumho Film Group and “Fang” intend to invest in Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of Sony Corporation, and become the second largest shareholder of Columbia Pictures! Sony Corporation

We are currently negotiating with "Fang", the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, regarding the share of shares. The rumors are so vivid that it is as if I have seen with my own eyes how Fang Mingyuan and Ping Keijiro negotiated this matter. Moreover, many people believe this rumor.

Many Japanese media have asked Sony about this matter many times in the past few days.

In their view, it is not surprising that Sony made such a decision. Although Columbia Pictures is an old Hollywood film company, its performance in recent years has been poor. Otherwise, it would

It will not be bought by Sony. After Sony bought Columbia Pictures, its performance has not improved. It was not until the new president took office and cooperated with Hong Kong Kumho Film Group on many films that the performance showed obvious improvement.

There are signs of improvement. Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and "Fang" are now at the peak of their power in the world film market. Each of their masterpieces has achieved astonishing box office results, which has also made Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and "Fang" gain great success.

Extremely huge profits.

If Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and "Fang" can invest in Columbia Pictures, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for both parties. Columbia Pictures, after all, is also an old Hollywood film company with a profound foundation.

Eighty years of filmmaking history has made it one of the most important studios in Hollywood. Its film library has more than 5,000 classic films, including more than a dozen "Oscar Best Picture Awards"

The winner. This is what the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group, which has not been established for a long time, lacks. It is precisely because of this that many people feel that this matter is very possible and not groundless.

This made Heikejiro, who was already worried about the exclusivity issue of the sequel to "Onmusha", very annoyed. Although he talked about this with Fang Mingyuan that day, Fang Mingyuan did not continue to discuss this issue in depth.

He talked about a lot of things in random words, so that Heike Jiro himself couldn't figure out what the goals and bottom lines in Fang Mingyuan's heart were.

After he came back, he naturally wanted to inform the management and the board of directors of the results of the meeting. He would naturally also mention the equity of Columbia Pictures. Regarding this matter, Sony's management and the majority of the board of directors

, all showed a strong interest, and believed that it would be a good thing for Columbia Pictures to attract Fan Mingyuan to become a shareholder of Columbia Pictures. This would undoubtedly strengthen Columbia Pictures' status and voice in Hollywood.

But no one is willing to let Hong Kong Kumho Film Group become a shareholder of Columbia Pictures.

Moreover, Sony felt that the conditions mentioned by Heikejiro at that time could be relaxed. For example, it could donate 5% of the shares to Fang Mingyuan and allow him to hold up to 20% of the shares. In some specific

In terms of affairs, Fang Mingyuan can be allowed to have a veto power...

Although these conditions are favorable, they are nothing compared to the benefits that may be brought by bringing Fang Mingyuan to Columbia Pictures. You must know that in today's large companies, many senior managers can hold shares. If you do

CEOs who have been CEOs for many years often hold a small share of shares, 5%, which is not uncommon. If this can solve the problem of exclusivity for the subsequent works of "Onimusha", that would be even better!

Sony is thinking about how to discuss this matter with Fang Mingyuan. The main reason is that Fang Mingyuan has not been in Japan recently, but has gone to South Korea to prepare for the opening ceremony of the World Cup in Seoul, South Korea, and Fang Mingyuan seems to be deliberately avoiding Sony.

company, I guess he is also thinking about this matter, so Sony is not too anxious.

After all, in this kind of matter, whoever is eager will be more passive in the negotiation!

At this time, rumors spread quickly... (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
