Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 462 Arcade "1942"

Negotiations continued the next day.

In this day's negotiation, the two sides have made a lot of progress, but they still can't reach an agreement on the most critical share sale price, and there is a big gap in the price.

Then came Wednesday, the third day of negotiations between the two sides.

Except for the sale price of the shares, both parties have reached an agreement on other details.However, if the two sides fail to negotiate on the price, the previous detailed negotiations will be meaningless and may become useless.

However, Haruko Mori and Wade Thomas, who were in charge of the negotiation, both wanted to conclude the negotiation, but they both wanted to strive for greater benefits for themselves, so the negotiation did not collapse, and each took a step back.

For example, Haruko Mori no longer insists that the shares sold by Lin Baicheng should be calculated at a market value of no less than US$26 billion, but can accept the sale of shares at a market value of less than US$26 billion.

As for Wade Thomas, he also added 20 million U.S. dollars to the 2 billion U.S. dollar market value he originally said to Lin Baicheng, that is, he bought 22% of the shares of Galaxy Games from Lin Baicheng at a market value of 20 billion U.S. dollars.

The market value difference between the two is 20 to 6000 million US dollars, and [-]% of the shares is at least [-] million US dollars, so the two sides failed to negotiate, and both want to strive for greater benefits for themselves.

After the two parties still failed to negotiate that day, Haruko Mori told Lin Baicheng one of her ideas that night and asked Lin Baicheng for his consent.

Today is May 5rd, and Galaxy Games' first arcade game of the year "23" will go on sale this Saturday, May 1942th.However, some machines will still be sent to the channel dealers first, and let them put them in the game hall for trial operation, so that they can accept the high price offered by Galaxy Games.

"1942" is a vertical scrolling shooting game. The game is set in World War II. Players control Allied fighters, and the enemy fighters are German fighters. There are 16 levels of the game.In this game, the player can manipulate the fighter plane to avoid bullets, and at the same time use the big move, so that the player's fighter plane can circle in the air to avoid any upcoming damage, and at the same time cause a lot of damage to the enemy plane. Generally, the soldiers are instant kills.

Of course, "1942" was developed by the R&D team of Galaxy Games under the guidance of Lin Baicheng. This is a relatively classic shooting game in the previous life, but Lin Baicheng has adapted it to a certain extent.

The first is the adaptation of the background. The enemy is no longer Japanese fighters, because the Japanese market is huge, and the emotions of Japanese players must be taken into account, and money cannot be difficult.

What's more, the original version of this game has a total of 32 levels, but today's "1942" only has 16 levels. This is because of the memory gap. If you insist on designing 32 levels, many functions will be much worse. It is easy It became a garbage game, so Lin Baicheng chose to sacrifice the number of levels. He feels that 16 levels are enough in this era, and the market competition is not so strong.

"1942" will have a trial run on Saturday, three days later. Haruko Mori decided to use the results of the game's trial run as a negotiation condition. If the game performs well during the trial run, it will definitely sell shares at a higher company market value ; On the contrary, it needs to be lowered, and it is even possible that institutions such as Goldman Sachs no longer want to buy shares.

Therefore, Haruko Mori asked Lin Baicheng for his opinion and asked if this could be done.

"Okay, you can negotiate with Thomas on this condition, and determine the market value of Galaxy Games Company based on the performance of the trial operation of "1942". If the performance is good, I will not accept a market value of only 26 billion U.S. dollars."

Lin Baicheng nodded and agreed. With the success of "Space Invaders" ahead of him, he didn't think "1942", which is more playable, would fail to succeed.

"Then I'll tell Mr. Thomas that tomorrow."

After hearing this, Haruko Mori said: "Tomorrow he will either choose to buy the shares with a higher market value, or he will choose to wait for the results of the trial operation of "1942" before negotiating."

"Ok!"

Lin Baicheng nodded.

During the negotiations the next day, Haruko Mori presented her proposal to Wade Thomas.

"Ms Maury, I can't decide on this matter. I need to report to the CEO, and Goldman Sachs will also notify other institutions."

Wade Thomas was a little surprised by Haruko Mori's proposal, but he couldn't make a decision about this kind of thing, he could only report it.

"Mr. Thomas, I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible, because it is not a few days until Saturday."

Haruko Mori said, and then said: "If you don't accept this kind of bet-like proposal, then you can buy the chairman's shares at a higher market value. The choice is in your hands."

"Ms. Maori, don't worry, I will give you an answer as soon as possible." Wade Thomas nodded in understanding.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

Haruko Mori said no more, and today's negotiation came to an end.

When Haruko Mori was negotiating with Wade Thomas, Lin Baicheng was still paying attention to the sales of Xingyue consoles and game cassettes. The current situation looks good, and the sales of Xingyue consoles and game cassettes are increasing every day. The range is not large, but an increase is better than a decrease.

In addition to paying attention to the sales of his own Xingyue mainframe, Lin Baicheng also secretly paid attention to Atari's reaction. After all, Xingyue mainframe and Atari VCS are the same type of product, crowding out the Atari VCS market. The sales volume will definitely be affected. He is worried that Atari will use some dirty tricks against Xingyue Video Game Company, so he has been paying attention to it, so that he can deal with it as soon as possible before the dirty tricks appear.

However, to Lin Baicheng's surprise, Atari didn't respond, as if it didn't know that there was another Xingyue console of the same type on the market.

Lin Baicheng didn't think that Atari would not know about the Xingyue mainframe product. After all, it was the only product on the market that was similar to the Atari VCS, and it was impossible for Atari's management to not know about it.Therefore, there is only one possibility, that is, Atari's management ignores the Xingyue mainframe and does not think that the Xingyue mainframe can threaten Atari VCS.

The Xingyue console was underestimated by Atari. Although it made people uncomfortable, Lin Baicheng was very happy. He wished that Atari had been ignoring the Xingyue console and the Xingyue video game company, so that the Xingyue console could occupy more markets. .

However, Lin Baicheng knew that this was impossible. As the sales of Xingyue consoles increased, the sales of Atari VCS would definitely be affected. The management of Atari was not a fool and would definitely respond.

In Lin Baicheng's view, being able to develop and grow for a period of time at the beginning is already an extremely lucky thing, and he does not expect more.
