Super Game Empire

The cruelty of the second round is to compare who is richer, not about total assets, total scale, fame and status, but about who is willing to spend money.

After no one objected, the investigator announced the total assets of Nintendo that had been counted by the court's bankruptcy cleanup team.

To acquire Nintendo's global industries, real estate investment, branch industries, own logistics teams, teams, laboratories, factories, warehouses, dozens of specialty stores, receivables, production debts, hundreds of games

Copyright, Nintendo brand, and more than 1,300 employees are required to settle, with a total of at least US$420 million.

As soon as the price was mentioned, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It was not too expensive. Fortunately, Nintendo did not like to owe debts.

But the court's second sentence was: "This price does not include the shares of Mario & Tetris held by Nintendo. If you need to purchase the game and full surrounding copyrights of "Super Mary" and "Tetris", the specific price will also need to be negotiated with KTT."

Fark...

Except for KTT, others were so depressed that they almost vomited blood. Which pot is not opened? They just sprinkled salt on the wound? If we put aside Mario & Tetris' equity, is Nintendo worth $420 million? There aren't those two models.

What's the point of a game even if you hold the copyrights of ordinary games on hundreds of old FC, SFC, and N64?

Now the representatives of Microsoft and Motorola began to hesitate. Looking at the representatives of KTT, he cursed in his heart that he was so bastard!

The court will continue to explain Article 3: "According to the law, the whole acquisition can be packaged before bankruptcy. However, once bankrupt, the court will divide all assets into different subject matters. We will openly bid and auction all Nintendo's assets. Anyone can participate.

.”

This problem is serious!

From these terms, we can see the attitude of the Tokyo Court. They are trying their best to persuade these wealthy bigwigs to acquire the whole, and everyone is worried. If such a large multinational company wants to go bankrupt, it will waste a lot of taxpayers' taxpayers'

Money will take at least half a year. The longer the time is, the less valuable Nintendo's body will be.

The court has a law to follow when doing this. Once it goes bankrupt, it will never be restored. A century-old Japanese enterprise disappears like this. It is a huge loss for the Japanese people. It is a slap in the face of the Japanese government. After bankruptcy, it is for

To protect the interests of the stakeholders, all assets must be auctioned to the maximum extent. However, this will cause considerable trouble to companies like Microsoft.

Microsoft is interested in factories, R&D strength, and intellectual property wealth accumulated over the years, so it is not interested in fixed assets.

Motorola is interested in the Nintendo brand, sales team, and game intellectual property rights are also a must-fight for content, and it is not interested in fixed assets.

KTT is interested in the Nintendo brand and game intellectual property rights. She is not interested in fixed assets, but she is proud of everything.

Everyone is determined to win intellectual property rights. It can be expected that the battle of intellectual property rights will be extremely fierce, and the phenomenon of 1+1>2 is likely to occur at auctions. Compared with the overall packaging, they will have to

Spend more money.

So the best way is to decide the outcome of these companies. If they do not give in, they will also be auctioned and sold on the last day, and the higher the price will be awarded.

"When will the bankruptcy proceedings be officially started? Can you stop halfway?" asked the Microsoft representative.

"It officially started in 4 days and cannot be stopped."

Everyone was speechless. Including today, there were 3 days left, but 3 days was not enough. The three of them had to decide the winner in private, and 3 weeks was not enough. Otherwise, they would wait until the last day to compare who has more money and raise the bid.

.But the time is too tight, so how can a business worth hundreds of millions of dollars be passed so easily? Everyone has a board of directors. There is a 12-hour time difference between Japan and the United States, and it takes too long to go.

If there is no result in 3 days, it will be helpless. Everyone is waiting for Nintendo to go bankrupt and clean up, then announce and auction, slowly delay and slowly shoot, and Nintendo may not be able to digest it in half a year.

Microsoft is not in a hurry to wait, Motorola doesn't care, KTT is in a difficult mood, and representatives of the three companies did not give an answer immediately, and the coordination meeting ended like this.

Next is the time for private fights.

After leaving the Tokyo Court, that night, Nintendo's current president Shigeru Miyamoto invited the heads of the delegations of Microsoft, Motorola and KTT to his house for tea.

But everyone was quarreling. Some neighbors heard the sound of a broken cup coming from Miyamoto Shigeru's villa and the high decibel roar in English. The neighbor who felt that something was wrong immediately rang Miyamoto Shigeru's doorbell and asked if he needed help.

The quarrel was stopped only after Miyamoto Shigeru's apologetic reply.

Soon a group of foreigners walked out of the house and left in their own luxury cars. At the same time, they chatted and cursed. The first meeting ended in a bad mood.

The quarrel was about Motorola and KTT. Motorola asked KTT to offer the quota of Mario&Tetri equity. KTT refused and said that no matter how much money it was, it would not be sold.

Motorola representatives gradually increased their prices, but KTT refused to let go at all.

When did Motorola suffer such a loss? It was so angry that it immediately threatened to return to the United States and ban KTT.

When did KTT suffer such a loss? He got angry on the spot and waved the banner of Blackstone Group to fight against him. Who is afraid of whom? Believe it or not, I will go back and get a checkbook to suck you in the face?

Motorola's boss Carl Icahn is also a Wall Street expert who plays finance. He will maliciously acquire any company when he likes it, and then promotes company reform and listing to cash out. He and Blackstone Group are the most notorious speculators on Wall Street, and are both the best at malicious acquisitions.

The best.

My Motorola boss is a top 20 richest man in the world. Do you want me to use a checkbook? You say the opposite. Be careful that Motorola is holding a checkbook and lets you kneel on the CPU!

Anyway, both sides are facing each other, the needle is pointed at the wheat, Motorola represents throwing a cup, KTT represents kicking over the chair, and the swearing almost turned into a fight, making the owner Shigeru Miyamoto have no way. Fortunately, the neighbors rescued the siege, these fierce gods

The group negotiators left in anger and cursed and left in turn, making Miyamoto shake his head with a bitter face and helpless.

As a negotiator, he must be able to scold and have high military power. He must deal with emergencies at all times. Today's scene is a little bit of a problem, and he will fight again the next day!

The next day, the people who came forward to invite everyone were Katsuhito Yamanuchi, Vice President of Nintendo, and Miya Arakawa and President of Nintendo North American Branch. The two most outstanding men of the Yamanuchi family stood up and invited the acquirers to meet and negotiate cooperation matters together.

.

To be fair, since they have all filed for bankruptcy, of course they are not in a hurry, but sell them early and count them early and get out of this sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible. If you put them in a bag, you don’t have to worry about any trouble. I heard that Longteng Entertainment Games Company is interested.

After a single shot, the Yamauchi family was already afraid and took the initiative to be the coordinator in daily life.

This time, the meeting was at Yamanuchi Katsuhito's home. The eldest son of Yamanuchi Hiroshi lives in a wealthy district in Tokyo. He lives a small life with a beautiful wife and a pair of children. If he hadn't been involved in Nintendo, his life would have been dull and happy.

of.

After learning from Shigeru Miyamoto's experience, as soon as the guests arrived today, Katsuhito Yamauchi announced several disciplines. The first is not to fight, and the second is to speak calmly and not to curse others.

But five minutes later, the war broke out again. This time, Microsoft and KTT were ridiculed by each other.

"Microsoft is willing to pay $120 million to buy Mario & Tetri, and I hope your company can consider it."

"Impossible, don't even think about it!"

"Hmph! Yesterday you offended the hardware manufacturer Motorola. Today are you planning to offend the software manufacturer?"

"Just! Do I need to get Motorola's license to buy Longteng chips? Do I need to get your Microsoft's license to make console games? Does it have anything to do with you? The strength is the most respected in the mall, and if you have the ability, use a checkbook to speak!"

After saying that, Motorola and Microsoft were framed at the same time, KTT once again showed their slutiness and took out a checkbook to talk about it. This is the rhythm of using money to draw faces.

Motorola's face was full of burning pain. They really had no way to deal with KTT. Both sides had no intersection at all, so it was impossible to ban it.

When Microsoft heard this, it was furious: "You are also PC game producers, why does it have nothing to do with us?"

KTT representative laughed: "Idiot! Don't think that if you develop Windows, you can block us from making Windows games! I also told you that Microsoft's PC games is the enemy of our KTT company and the CPL alliance. If Microsoft wants to develop TVs

Game console, after we acquire Nintendo, you will still be our enemies! The same goes for Nintendo, and get a checkbook!"

asshole……

Everyone had a headache. This guy who doesn’t eat soft and hard is really a big cancer in the PC gaming industry!

It turns out that everyone recognizes that the EA company supported by the Wall Street consortium is a malicious acquisition company that everyone hates. Unexpectedly, KTT, which has rapidly risen in recent years, suppressed EA and turned it into the second EA. Moreover, it has frequent means and is cruel and ruthless.

Very difficult to deal with!

Dingling, a phone ringing sounded. KTT representative took out his Nokia phone and connected it respectfully, without any arrogant attitude as before: "Yes... OK... I understand, please wait..."

After saying this, he handed the phone to the Microsoft representative: "You, answer the call!"

What does it have to do with me!

The Microsoft representative was too lazy to care about it, and he looked squintingly and didn't even look at it.

The KTT representative was not angry either. He pressed a few times to open the hands-free one, placed it in front of the opponent's negotiating table, and said with a sneer: "Mr. Yang, give it to him."

A magnetic man's voice came from the phone: "Hello Hawkins! I'm LongGame Yang Yun!"

Longteng’s Yang Yun? This name instantly stimulated everyone who heard the phone. Microsoft representative Hawkins was even more stunned. Of course, Yang Yun had heard of it, but why did he call KTT and come to him?
