China Longteng Entertainment Game Company met with the famous comic master Schultz and obtained the animation adaptation rights, game adaptation rights, film adaptation rights and novel adaptation rights of the comic series "Xenozoic-Tales" for US$5 million!

Longteng Company authorized American Flame Comics Studio to produce the animation of "Cadillac and Dinosaurs".

Longteng Company announced that it would cooperate with 20th Century Fox to invest US$60 million to jointly shoot the movie "Cadillac and the Dinosaurs."

Longteng Company announced that it will launch a new arcade game "Dino Combat" in half a year, which will be released simultaneously worldwide.

A series of news shocked the global gaming community, and colleagues all exclaimed, China's Longteng is crazy!

"Can the success of Pokemon be replicated? Is cross-industry operation a prelude to transformation, or is it a stupid decision?"

"Long Teng, blinded by money, is about to enter the abyss of darkness!"

"The Chinese invaded Hollywood! Invested heavily and started with science fiction movies!"

"Hong Kong kung fu superstar Jackie Chan will star in the movie "Cadillac and Dinosaurs" as the male lead!"

"Cadillac Company becomes the largest sponsor of the movie "Cadillac and Dinosaurs"!"

“Universal Pictures and Spielberg accelerate preparations for filming Jurassic Park!”

"..."

Professional game media, entertainment media, and general social news media are all reporting on this incident because it is of great significance and eye-catching.

Universal Pictures and Spielberg, 20th Century Fox and James Cameron. Who is better among these two combinations?

"Jurassic Park" and "Cadillacs and Dinosaurs". Both of these movies are adapted from novels or comics. Which one will be more popular?

In addition, there are uncertain factors mixing in the middle. This is Longteng Company from China, the biggest helper of 20th Century Fox!

In order to promote and market the movie "Jurassic Park", Universal Pictures worked hard, contacted hundreds of companies, signed agreements to manufacture and sell 1,000 products, and tried every means to find two game production companies willing to adapt the movie. Found a

The toy production line produces movie peripheral products, and a book publishing house is found to publish novels for children's readers.

And because of Long Teng's participation, none of this is a problem for 20th Century Fox.

Longteng is the second largest video game production company in the world, and no one is more professional than them.

After hearing about it, the Parker Brothers took the initiative to sign a contract for the production of toy peripherals for "Cadillac and Dinosaurs". Hundreds of toy franchisees around the world paid tens of millions of dollars in deposits without even seeing the products.

As for book publishers, Longteng has too many related resources, not to mention Fox's big boss Murdoch, this media giant has easily spread his own movies to the world.

For a time, the decisive battle between the two dinosaurs made the global entertainment industry talk about it. Keep paying attention.

The movie has not yet been released, the game has not been produced, and the animation has not been changed. Just such a three-no product has become a highly anticipated masterpiece!

…

…

In Japan, Capcom and SNK no longer dare to utter wild words. Tsujimoto Yaniro seemed to have disappeared from the world and completely disappeared from the sight of the media.

SNK's Yoshihiko Takado was holding on alone, and their CVS was delayed again and again. Finally, they mustered up the courage to prepare to launch it after the Sega Carnival at the end of the year. However, the news of Dragon's new arcade game was once again knocked back to its original shape.

Dinosaur Kombat...

As soon as you hear this name, you will know that it must be another adventure game with a fighting series. In terms of Dragon's temperament, only one game is better than the other. Half a year later, around March 1992, it crashed again.

Can he continue to delay?

Yoshihiko Takado couldn't hold on anymore. They spent 1.8 billion yen to develop NEOGEO. The cost of the substrate was too high and no one bought it. They launched a rental service but unfortunately they didn't have enough game support. There were very few responders. SNK was on the verge of bankruptcy.

edge……

"Tsuji Motomoto!" Yoshihiko Takado roared in his office, kicking over the clothes hangers and stools, and breaking the tea cups. "Coward! You coward! How can you show up to me if you hide and dare not see people?"

before?"

Little did Yoshihiko Takado know that SNK was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the person he was scolding, Tsuji Mototsuhiko, was also having a very difficult time.

In a small town by the sea in Hokkaido, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on a small building, where Tsujimoto's family is preparing dinner.

Mrs. Tsujimoto carefully sorted all kinds of seafood raw materials, and Tsujimoto and his son sat in the study, speechless.

"Father, Capcom has suffered losses for five consecutive quarters. In the third quarter that just passed, we lost 1.08 billion..."

"Yanlang, before it's too late, find a buyer and sell it."

"Father! Capcom is your life's work, you can't do this..."

"Listen to me. There are still a few games that can be sold at affordable prices. It will be enough to leave us with money for retirement. I have fallen in love with the poor but comfortable life in Hokkaido, and I want to live for a few more years."

.”

"Father...wuwuwu...I really can't bear it! Give me another half a year, and I will definitely be able to get back the disadvantage..."

"Don't you pay attention to the news? Longteng invested 60 million US dollars to produce a science fiction movie, and launched a game of the same name half a year later. In addition, animation and novel adaptations are also in progress at the same time, and Mercado is building momentum for them around the world. Yan Lang, we found the fault.

If we lose to our competitors, if we lose now, we lose. The worst we can do is to start over from scratch!”

"Father……"

This tragic scene lasted until Mrs. Tsujimoto called them to eat.

But who can eat this last supper?

On November 1, 1991, Fengyun Game Software Company acquired all the assets of Capcom Co., Ltd. for 6.9 billion yen in cash and dividend rights, including the large-scale arcade games "Street Fighter", "Quick Fight" and "Swallowing World"

The ownership of the series, the ownership of the console game "Mega Man" series, the entire intellectual property rights of the hardware CPS1 substrate, the ownership of the Capcom building and other other industries.

The whole world was shocked!

For 6.9 billion yen and only 50 million US dollars, Capcom was sold to its mortal enemy Fengyun Corporation!

This news caused a strong earthquake in the Japanese gaming industry, and almost all companies expressed unbelievable shock!

Capcom is a company that is old enough and crazy enough. It is one of the Nintendo Six. Even if it is to be sold, most people think that Nintendo must take over first!

But Nintendo was indifferent, and for some reason, the Tsujimoto family sold it to Longteng. This completely subverted people's values!

At US$50 million, the media discussed it and thought it was too cheap.

The Sankei Shimbun listed Capcom's assets one by one: "Capcom's headquarters building on Empire Street is worth 3 billion, the patent rights of the CPS1 substrate are worth at least 3 billion in market valuation, the Mega Man brand is worth 1 billion, and Street Fighter is worth 1 billion.

, Tornado, Swallow the World and other dozens of game patents worth at least 5 billion, why did Capcom, which had at least 12 billion yen, sell it at a low price of 6.9 billion? Or was it sold to a Chinese company?"

In response to this, Hayao Nakayama took the lead in issuing a strong protest: "Limiting business competition to narrow national restrictions is the most ignorant and stupid idea. When Sony acquired CBS's film and music divisions, why did it not see the

The news jumped out to accuse them? When Panasonic acquired the American company MCA, why didn't the Sankei Shimbun protest? It can be seen that the Sankei Shimbun is not only superficial, but also hopelessly stupid!"

Wang Zhe, the president of Fengyun Game Software Company, followed up by saying: "If Sankei Shimbun is willing to spend 6 billion yen to buy the dozens of game patent rights that he is optimistic about, we are willing to sell them at any time and offer a 10% discount."

Are you kidding me? How could Sankei Shimbun buy the game patent rights? Don’t say no one wants it if it’s 6 billion with a 10% discount. Let’s see if anyone wants it with a 10% discount.

Except for Sega, anyone who dares to buy Capcom is asking for death!

It's a pity that some people are out of their minds and can't change their minds, so they still pretend to calculate their property!

In the final analysis, except for the 3 billion yen of Capcom building real estate which is worth some money, the others are not worth mentioning at all. Longteng Company has no shortage at all. It gave them 6.9 billion yen, which was authorized by Yang Yun.

Money for the Tsujimoto family’s retirement.

There is also another purpose, which is the low-end 16-bit substrate CPS1. Yang Yun accepted this board for his own use without hesitation, and passed the full set of technology to Fang Jindong in China, asking him to be responsible for research.

In real history, the two circuit boards, CPS1 and NEOGEO, were cracked countless times by diligent Chinese hackers, resulting in a large number of pirated circuit boards flowing crazily in the Chinese market. On the one hand, they made a huge contribution to the popularization of Chinese arcade games. On the other hand, they made great contributions to the popularization of Chinese arcade games.

As a result, the original creator did not make any money at all, only fame.

After Yang Yun acquired Capcom, he did not intend to follow this path again, but planned to use it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the country. He would use free contributions to the country as a condition in exchange for the country's support and support for low-end substrates.

Set up a large number of game production companies and severely crack down on small piracy groups that dare to violate national interests.

As for the high-end 32-bit Model 1, Longteng will still firmly control it in its own hands and will not take it out easily.

After acquiring Capcom, Yang Yun set his sights on another rival, SNK.

Likewise, the media and peers are watching SNK's performance.

They joined forces with Capcom to fight against Fengyun Company. As a result, Capcom was acquired under a heavy blow. Everyone wanted to see what would happen to SNK. Is it true that "whoever becomes an enemy of Longteng will only die?"

The curse!

A week later, on November 8, Takado Yoshihiko could not resist the pressure and announced that he was willing to sell 60% of his SNK shares!

It’s just that this acquisition war has caused Wang Zhe of Fengyun Game Software Company to encounter huge resistance!
