Super Game Empire

On April 10, 1990, the Japanese Sankei Shimbun suddenly disclosed the news that many subsidiaries of China Longteng Entertainment and Game Company were shrinking funds and suspended all new investment projects. China's Longteng Corporation was facing a break in the capital chain.

The risk is very likely to go bankrupt.

The content of the news was unclear, but the general situation was fairly accurate, and it listed six or seven pieces of information obtained from various parties. All the information was inferred from some clues, and finally this bold inference was made.

First, Parker Brothers suddenly settled at sales outlets around the world in advance, requiring dealers around the world to collect money quickly. Sankei Shimbun believes that this is a sign that Longteng Toys Company is in urgent need of cash, otherwise it would not be willing to bear the liquidated damages caused by forced settlement.

Compensation, rush to withdraw funds before the settlement date.

Second, the establishment of the French branch of Longteng has not been completed. According to the speculation of relevant European people, it should be that the capital chain is not in supply and there is not enough financial support.

Article 3: The new arcade game plan previously announced by Nippon Fengyun Game Software Company has been shelved. According to people familiar with the matter, all employees in the R&D center no longer take the initiative to work overtime and commute to get off work on time every day. There are no new projects at hand.

Article 4: As the global economy entered a stage of slow contraction, China was also affected after half a year. The Chinese government issued a number of decrees to maintain stability, and banks began to tighten money and reduce loan credit lines.

There are several others, such as the interruption of training at Longteng Comics Magazine and the dismissal of nearly half of the trainees. Longteng Company bought a piece of land in Beijing and invested in a medium-sized real estate company. It plans to focus on the real estate industry instead, and the company president's office sent

An open letter from Longteng Global. It requires all branches, departments and project teams not to be extravagant and wasteful, to minimize unnecessary losses, etc.

Reporters from the Sankei Shimbun summarized, processed, and conjectured multiple pieces of news, and came to a conclusion—because it entered the huge capital black hole of real estate, Longteng Entertainment and Game Company had problems with its capital chain, and was afraid it would go bankrupt!

Is Longteng Company going bankrupt?

Did you hear that right? The Sankei Shimbun said that Longteng Company is indeed going bankrupt!

Which Longteng company? Which Sega's strategic partner?

This news spread quickly among the people. As soon as this news came out, it caused an uproar in the Japanese game and animation industry!

Of course, the media reporters were the ones who reacted fastest. They rushed to Fengyun Company immediately, blocked the door, and asked to interview the company's senior management. Unfortunately, Fengyun Company security blocked everyone outside, and all employees were issued gag orders.

I don't know if I ask three questions.

The second most anxious company was Sega Corporation. Hayao Nakayama couldn't sit still and called Fengyun Company. The secretary said he had no comment. He called China Longteng headquarters and the secretary said that the president was not in the company and was in a meeting with government officials.

"Meeting with government officials?" Nakayama Hayao was stunned and flipped through the news in the newspaper. Thinking of the decree issued by the Chinese government written above, he broke into a cold sweat: "Is it possible that Longteng Company is really restricted by the government?

?”

The production line of the Gamegear handheld console has been moved to the Longteng factory in China, and the development of the console is almost completed. Sega is doing final testing internally, as well as porting modifications of 20 games to the handheld console.

The production of md may have been licensed to Longteng. Z80 chips, which are restricted shipments in Batumi, are also under pressure and Sega acts as a guarantee company and ships them to China in batches.

If there is a problem with Longzang, Sega will be the first to suffer!

Nakayama Hayao couldn't sit still, so he quickly called the driver and rushed towards Fengyun Game Software Company. He wanted to ask Wang Zhe for clarification and at the same time book the fastest flight to China. He couldn't wait!

There were others who couldn't sit still. George Parker was harassed on the phone by a group of inexplicable reporters. He was told that Longteng Company had problems with its capital chain and was planning to switch to real estate. He immediately left Salem, Massachusetts, and immediately

Go to New York to find Jiang Shaoyun.

Just in the office of Longteng Toy Company, George also met Alexey and Larry, one was the president of ktt company and the other was the president of ea company. They surrounded Jiang Shaoyun and asked them non-stop.

Jiang Shaoyun sat firmly on the Diaoyutai, and after the three people took turns questioning him, he smiled and said: "I say three presidents, what are you worried about? Does Longteng Company owe you money? Does it owe you money for goods?"

Alexei didn't owe money, he just received an unclear phone message from Yang Yun and came to inquire about the details.

Larry doesn't owe money either. There are 20 engineers who help ea company all year round, and ea doesn't have to pay wages. Larry can't find such good free labor even if he works hard.

George doesn't owe any money anymore, bang! The card accounts have been settled long ago. The new Three Kingdoms killing cards also have sales of millions of dollars every day, and he is making a lot of money.

George smiled dryly and said: "Mr. Jiang, we are just concerned and came to ask about the situation. If Longteng is short of money, we can provide help. As long as there are mortgage assets, we can still get hundreds of millions of dollars in cash."

This old fox!

Jiang Shaoyun cursed secretly, needless to say, he just took a fancy to the copyrights of Three Kingdoms and Bang!, and used the ownership of the cards as collateral. If he pretended to pass some dollars, I'm afraid he would like Longteng to go bankrupt!

In addition, there are 30% equity of ea-sports and an unknown amount of equity in ktt. These are the assets of Longteng. At this sensitive time, several presidents came in person and were even willing to fly thousands of miles from the West Coast of the United States.

Jiang Shaoyun knew very well what the person was planning!

Jiang Shaoyun said: "I don't know the specific situation. Quickly gather funds, eliminate waste and reduce expenditures. These are orders from the office of the president of China Longteng. I just follow them."

The three of them returned in vain, and the reporters couldn't get any information from Longteng Toys Company. It all became a mystery!

At the China Longteng headquarters, everything was calm and nothing major happened.

The employees went to work when they were supposed to, went on business trips when they were supposed to, and those few project teams took the initiative to work overtime. It seemed that nothing major had changed.

Longteng Comics Magazine has indeed laid off many employees, but those are some students who have been eliminated and are not suitable to enter the animation industry as animators.

Longteng Company has indeed entered the real estate industry. It just invested a sum of money and conducted a backdoor operation. It only has one land plot and at most 1,000 suites. It plans to build a residential property with high greening rate, low floor area ratio, beautiful environment and complete functions.

It is a corporate welfare community that is comfortable to live in and each household has a parking space.

Except for Yang Yun and a few other core figures, no one knew what happened. The outside world was buzzing with news, but the situation inside Longteng Company was calm, and all the employees were calm. There was no sign that the company was about to go bankrupt.

The media could not contact Yang Yun, and other senior managers also disappeared one by one. No one clarified these rumors, and no one denied the information cited by the Sankei Shimbun.

Because of Long Teng's non-response, the Sankei Shimbun's rumors became even more outrageous. Why was Yang Yun being isolated by the government for investigation?

In response to dissatisfaction, we are preparing to completely rectify the learning machine and game console markets, and standardize books, audiovisual products, newspapers and periodicals.

At this time, companies such as Nintendo, Capcom, Konami, etc. all stepped forward to add insult to injury, while NHK and other pro-China media who tried to save Longteng could only worry.

This directly affected Sega's stock price on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. Unable to wait for Longteng's statement, retail investors chose to leave the market pessimistically, not optimistic about Sega's prospects. They believed that after leaving Longteng, Sega would definitely not be Nintendo.

opponent.

Zhongshan Shunxiong came to the Longteng headquarters in Zhongguancun in person. By this time, it was already the 12th, and the rumors had been spreading for three days. He really had no way to contact Yang Yun, so he could only come to China to try his luck.

Yong Ye accompanied him, sitting in the VIP lounge, watching Fang Huimin bring various tea and snacks, feeling anxious.

Yongye stopped Fang Huimin, who was carrying a bag of specialties from the old capital, and asked, "Miss Fang, please stop being busy. We can't eat or drink. Where is Mr. Yang? We want to know what happened!"

Fang Huimin wondered: "Mr. Yang went to the State Administration of Press and Publication for a meeting the day before yesterday and never came back. However, he called us yesterday and only said one sentence."

"What are you talking about?" Nagano was a little nervous.

"I may not be able to come back in the next few days. The company is temporarily in charge of Manager Zhao." Fang Huimin blinked and added: "That's what I said!"

Nagano and Nakayama Hayao looked at each other, what on earth happened?

I can't come back for a few days. Is it really that I am being restricted and quarantined for lectures?

After asking, the two of them found out that Zhao Yongping was still in Taiwan. As for the contact information, maybe the Taiwan Shiya Yule Branch would know. But after contacting him, they were disappointed again. No one could find Zhao Yongping.

A car cannot run without an engine, but the behemoth Longteng Company can still run smoothly without Yang Yun, its core brain.

The closed environment in China prevents many news and information from being spread. Gradually, suspicion becomes the main voice in the whirlpool of the storm.

On April 17, the media that had been waiting for a week finally heard the only news officially released by Longteng Company: "Longteng Entertainment Game Company's factory in Zhaozhuang has suspended production, and all production related to MD consoles has been transferred to Japan's Sega factory.

, all losses caused by the change will be borne by Longteng Company."

Coincidentally, the Ministry of Machinery and Electronics Industry recently passed a resolution at a regular report meeting that China should vigorously develop the computer industry and accelerate the research and development of high-precision technologies such as CPU chips, memory components, and graphics processing chips.

.

For a moment, everyone seemed to understand something. It seems that the Chinese government should take big action! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
