1980s: He was picked up and brought home as a son-in-law

When Ikeda Nagasuke heard this, he jumped up from his chair. He knew there was something fishy going on. He had already raised the price to the limit of his authority, which was also 5 million US dollars.

Nintendo invested 5 million US dollars in the US market, so it made no sense for it to invest more in the island market. Even if Nintendo was rich, it would not be able to do such an exaggerated thing. Besides,

Mizuizumi Ichiro was just a manager like him. It was impossible for him to invest more than 10 million US dollars in the regional agency of a game.

But before he could open his mouth to question, Mizuizumi Ichiro stretched out his hand to suppress him:

"Mr. Ikeda, please be patient and listen to me."

"My offer is 10% of the total revenue generated by Donkey Kong games in arcades in Japan.%"

Ikeda Nagasuke was stunned for a moment. He never thought that Ichiro Mizuzumi would offer such a price, and Zhou Feng actually agreed.

He quickly calculated in his mind that according to his offer of 5 million US dollars, Nintendo's total revenue in the island country would only reach 50 million US dollars to match his offer.

According to the current market price of arcade machines, Nintendo needs to sell more than 12,000 units to achieve this revenue.

He felt his face burning. Before, he mocked Ichiro Mizuzumi for being short-sighted and not understanding the huge market value of"Donkey Kong". He also cited the example of Namco selling 20,000 arcade machines with"Pac-Man".

Ichiro Mizuzumi told him with practical actions that he was very optimistic about"Donkey Kong". 10% of the revenue was close to half of the profit of the arcade machine. This had to be said to be a very big deal.

Zhou Feng was also betting that"Donkey Kong" would definitely sell more than 12,000 units in the island country, otherwise it would be a loss compared to Komei's offer of 5 million US dollars.

Ikeda Nagasuke was really speechless at this moment. He was indeed defeated. He was defeated in terms of vision and courage.

After the results of the second round came out, the dust had settled. Zhou Feng set his sights on Ichiro Mizuzumi.

If this person could join the competition, then the future market operation of the island country would be much simpler.

So Zhou Feng tried to test him with words, but it was obvious that Ichiro Mizuzumi didn't fancy his little boat and didn't respond at all. Zhou

Feng could only put this matter aside for the time being. He would have to deal with him sooner or later anyway. Now that he couldn't see the competition, as long as he couldn't get along in Ren Tian, he would naturally be clear-headed.

After the promotion meeting, the group had a meal together after signing the contract.

Although Yagali and Dynamic Vision gained nothing from this trip to Hong Kong Island, they still had a good impression of Zhou Feng. In addition, Zhou Feng's deliberate friendship made them treat each other as friends. After sending off several companies, Zhou Feng just returned to the hotel, and before he sat down, there was a knock on the door.

When he opened the door, it was Li Jiale who came to the door.

"Brother Li, come in and sit down."

After Li Jiale came in, Zhou Feng poured him a cup of tea and sat down beside him.

Zhou Feng could roughly guess why Li Jiale came at this time, but he didn't speak. It was not because he was pretending to be reserved, but because his identity was a bit sensitive.

Although he and Gu Jun reached an agreement, and although their goals were the same, the two parties were independent of each other and had a mutually beneficial relationship.

In the early stage, Gu Jun provided him with some convenient conditions, and Zhou Feng provided ideas and directions, and there would be further cooperation in the future.

But Zhou Feng didn't know where Li Jiale was. If he was a pure internal staff, then Zhou Feng had to grasp the measure. This was not fear, but he didn't want Gu Jun to think that he had other thoughts.

If it was just a simple cooperative relationship, then it didn't matter.

Zhou Feng chatted with Li Jiale at ease, and in the end, Li Jiale lost his temper first.

"Zhou Feng, I want to participate in the gaming industry. What do you think?"

Zhou Feng did not answer directly, but smiled and said:

"Brother Li, let me put it this way, games may seem like an entertainment industry, but now it is definitely a sunrise industry."

"It is more of a cultural industry than an entertainment industry. As living standards gradually improve, people's demands for culture will become more urgent."

"It's not just about games. After everyone has enough food and clothes to eat and get initially satisfied in terms of material things, what follows is the lack of the spiritual world. Games, movies, and music are all industries worth investing in now."

Li Jiale felt that what Zhou Feng said made sense, but that was not what he wanted to hear. He wanted to communicate with Zhou Feng about the agency of"Donkey Kong" Arcade in Hong Kong Island.

He didn't think Zhou Feng couldn't see it, but Zhou Feng's lack of communication made him think more. Could it be that there were other arrangements in Hong Kong Island?

After a long silence, Li Jiale still asked,"Zhou Feng, I won't beat around the bush. I want to get the regional agency of"Donkey Kong" Arcade in Hong Kong Island. I want to try to transform." Zhou Feng smiled. It would be fine if Li Jiale had no desires. If he had an idea, he could seize the initiative, but some things had to be made clear.

"Brother Li, I don't know if this is what you mean or not...."

Li Jiale understood immediately, patted his head and said embarrassedly:

"Look at my head, I was careless. We have known each other for so many days and I haven't had time to introduce myself."

Zhou Feng didn't take it seriously. It was not carelessness that Li Jiale didn't introduce me before, but he felt it was unnecessary. Now if he wants to seek cooperation, he must have a briefing.

"Brother Zhou Feng, I am not actually from Hong Kong Island. My hometown is Fujian Province. I am a mainlander born and raised."

"Then how did you come to Hong Kong Island, Brother Li?"

Li Jiale's face was a little bitter when he heard this question:"Let's not talk about the previous things. Brother Zhou Feng, do you know the resistance policy?"

Zhou Feng was stunned, but he really didn't know this. This was the first time he heard of this term.

Seeing Zhou Feng shaking his head, Li Jiale opened up.

It turned out that in 1974, Hong Kong Island introduced a policy called the"resistance policy."

That is, no matter what method you use, as long as you can avoid the arrest of the Hong Kong British Police Department and come to the urban area of Hong Kong Island, you can obtain a Hong Kong Island identity card and become a formal Hong Kong Island resident.

Li Jiale smuggled into Hong Kong in 1975. He was lucky that he did not lose his life halfway and successfully became a Hong Kong Islander. After several years of hard work, he also has a small fortune.

As for the relationship with Gu Jun, it is pure cooperation, without any identity entanglement.

Although he came to Hong Kong Island, Li Jiale has always missed his hometown. Through business channels, he donated money to his hometown several times. After a while, he came into contact with the official people.

To put it bluntly, Li Jiale's current business is to serve as a bridge, a bridge connecting China and overseas. He acts as a matchmaker, helping overseas customers to make trade purchases and helping the domestic side to earn foreign exchange.

Zhou Feng immediately understood Li Jiale's business model. It was considered the earliest trading company, but it relied on domestic relationships and he earned a little profit from it.

No wonder Li Jiale wanted to transform. This business model seemed to be able to make money regardless of drought or flood, but the autonomy was too small and the profits that could be generated were limited. To put it bluntly, he was just a tool.
