Super Tycoon

"Tomo Matsutajiri, if you can merge Bandai, I will allow you 5% of the shares. If not, you can ask the person in charge of the other party to come to China to talk to me, and I won't lose you."

Listening to the words on the phone, Matsutajiri Satoshi was very excited, but at the same time he also understood that this task was not easy.

Bandai is now in huge losses, but it's not that it's about to go bankrupt, it's just that they lack some funds to turn around, and they still have a lot of animation copyrights.

If any one is sold, some funds can be withdrawn. It’s just that many companies want to acquire Bandai as a whole, and if some copyrights are separated, they will lose the advantage of linkage between different animations, and their value will drop.

What's more, Bandai's shareholders don't want to just sell the company. They can get a lot of money, but they want to keep the company's equity and continue to complete their careers.

In particular, they haven't thought about giving up on entering the game industry. They are the top island countries in terms of toys and animation, and they can rank high even in the world.

And these products can all be related to games. Their company has adapted anime through some games and launched toys, and they all sell well.

If you want this cake to really grow bigger, then every link must not be missing. Therefore, the only game companies that Bandai really wants to cooperate with are game companies, and other companies are not considered.

At this time, many game companies and electronics companies around the world have offered an olive branch to Bandai. Needless to say, the game company met Bandai's requirements in the first place, and also wanted Bandai's animation copyright to be developed into a game for sale.

Those consumer electronics companies are also capable of developing game consoles. Maybe they can make an external device to improve the performance of Bandai's game consoles, so that this game console that has been released for a month and has become a joke can be brought back to life. .

At this time, many companies sent representatives, and even the president of the company personally, to find Bandai to discuss cooperation or merger matters.

EA, Atari in the United States, Sami, Sega, NEC, Namco and other companies in the island country have sent shareholder representatives, and Soni, Songxia, Sanyo, and JVC (JVC) have also called. Nintendo also sent a representative to negotiate in the past.

In contrast, Zhi Duoxing only entrusted Satoshi Matsudajiri, the president of the subsidiary Huadao Spirit, who seemed extremely careless, and was also ruled out by Bandai Company for the second time.

The first company to exclude was, of course, Atari. Atari itself was about to go bankrupt, and after merging with Bandai, it was unable to bring it back to life. What Bandai wants is cash to help the company tide over difficulties, not to take the company's assets to mortgage loans, or to attract other investors.

Representatives from Atari came over, and it would be considered polite for the person in charge of Bandai not to curse. You fell into the water yourself, why are you still dragging us, we only have one foot wet, and we still have a chance to go ashore.

In less than three days, Zhang Yang received a call back from Satoshi Matsudajiri, which made him very dissatisfied.

"There is no possibility of cooperation at all? You didn't say that we are willing to develop their anime character games, and we can split the bill with them?"

Isn't this condition good enough? He didn't propose to buy Bandai directly, and of course he couldn't afford it. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and Bandai's assets are tens of billions of yen, which is much higher than the market value of Zhiduxing.

"They said that unless the merger is based on the market price, and Zhiduoxing Company has to prepare a cash flow of 10 billion yen, of course we cannot agree to this condition."

Grass, 10 billion yen in cash, Bandai really dare to open their mouths.

Zhang Yang can raise this money even if he puts his heart into it, and he may not even need a loan. Based on the current exchange rate, 10 billion yen is less than 900 million RMB, and Zhiduoxing has sufficient funds.

However, Zhiduxing Company is a non-listed company, and its valuation at this time is not high, and its market price is only several billion RMB, which is tens of billions of yen, which is not as good as Bandai Company.

so merged,

Then Bandai will become the major shareholder. If Tomo Matsutajiri agrees, Zhang Yang will immediately fire Tomo Matsutajiri!

"What about buying the copyrights of some anime? For example, Gundam, Kamen Rider, Sailor Moon, Ultraman, Digimon, Saint Seiya, etc."

These copyrights all belong to Bandai Company, which is why Bandai Company has become a favorite, because these animations are all the rage, even before Zhang Yang was reborn, Gundam manga were still on sale.

Based on these animations, the games developed will surely sell well in the island market, and even perform well in the European and American markets.

After the launch of Suni's platform, Kamen Rider was also well received, bringing a large number of fans and players to Suni.

Zhang Yang may not want Bandai's toy channel, or other assets, but animation copyright is what he really wants, and this is not to be missed.

"I also negotiated with them, but the other party insisted on death and only accepted the merger. Copyright is their most important merger bargaining chip. If they cannot agree to the conditions of merger, then the copyright will never be sold separately, even if it is leased."

Zhang Yang was helpless. He really thought about leasing, that is, signing a copyright authorization period. Within the relevant period, reasonable development and profit can be made, but this road is also blocked.

"Okay, then you can keep an eye on it and see which company has the most contact with Bandai and is most likely to merge."

In the previous generation, Bandai Company negotiated with Sega, and both parties even announced the name of the merged company. However, before the merger process, Bandai Company’s electronic pets were very popular, thus tearing up the cooperation agreement and completely disrupting Sega’s plan. , which eventually led to the downfall of Sega, and merged with Namco to form a game development company, completely withdrawing from the game console market.

"According to the current situation, Nintendo can be ruled out, because Nintendo is going to acquire Bandai, and Bandai absolutely does not agree to be acquired."

"Songxia, Sanyo and other companies can basically be ruled out. Their sales of game consoles are not very good, even worse than our Zhiduoxing G. If it weren't for the failure of NEC and other companies, they would be the biggest laughing stock."

"Currently, there are four companies that are closest to merging, namely Namco, a top game development company, EA in America, Sega, and Sami, an arcade company."

"Other companies, including Suni, have the same chance as our Zhiduoxing company, unless the talks between the four companies collapse."

Zhang Yang heaved a sigh of relief, as long as Suony is not allowed to buy it, if Bandai really enters the camp of Suuni, then the trouble will be really big.

"Okay, let's see if some of Bandai's subsidiaries are for sale. If they are valuable and suitable, you can consider selling them."
