"Master Yamauchi, you are my benefactor!" Jia Yapeng said in a slightly hoarse voice. "I still remember the honor of meeting you when I first came to Nintendo six years ago."
"Although my cooperation with you is always full of all kinds of chaos, even I can't deny that without Nintendo, there will be no success of Pokemon, and perhaps there will be no current thousand. You are my benefactor and I will remember it all my life!"
"Hypocrisy... There's grace in his mouth, but he's got us to this point!" boss Jia's voice is not too small, so many people around him heard it. One of the Nintendo employees couldn't help but disdain.
"Although we make complaints about it very much later," the boss seemed to hear the employee's Tucao. He went on to say, "but I want to say that Jiangshan has talent and people here, and there are many years of coexistence here."
"Your era has passed. Next, I will carry the banner of the game, create more interesting games for players all over the world, and create a larger platform. We will become the king of the next era. We will inherit your legacy and create an interesting future!"
"I think you will be very happy to have an opponent and successor like me!" boss Jia said faintly and stood up. All the employees around Nintendo glared at boss Jia.
It's the biggest provocation to say in front of Pu's spirit in Yamauchi that he wants to inherit Nintendo's legacy!
"Are you angry with me?" boss Jia looked around Nintendo employees and said with a smile, "I look forward to you beating me and using games to beat me. At that time, you can also inherit my will in front of my spirit!"
"..." Nintendo's employees were immediately speechless.
"Mr. Jia, it's getting late. Please go back!" Iwata saw the situation and ordered boss Jia to leave.
He has now passed the resolution of the board of directors and become the next chairman of Nintendo. If he doesn't drive Jia Yapeng away at this time, how can he be the chairman of Nintendo!
"Mr. Iwata, I hear you are the chairman of Nintendo now!" boss Jia looked at Iwata Cong, smiled and said in a voice that everyone can hear. "Let me discuss something with you!"
"What?"
"You sell Nintendo to me, and I can offer $10 billion to buy you!" boss Jia's words immediately aroused the whole scene.
It's a big deal to buy Nintendo for $10 billion.
You know, even when Nintendo was at its peak, its total market value was only $10 billion. Now Nintendo has fallen to the bottom, and its market value has fallen to less than $6 billion. Everyone is still willing to pay a price of $10 billion to buy Nintendo, which is definitely a cost-effective price. For a moment, almost all Nintendo employees are discussing this matter.
Some Nintendo employees thought about it and found that if Nintendo sold it to Daqian, they could become Daqian's employees, and Nintendo could become the world's No. 1 game manufacturer again. This seems to be a very good result. It's no problem for Jia Yapeng to inherit Yamauchi's legacy.
Only Iwata Cong was trembling with anger. He pointed to Jia Yapeng's nose and said, "Mr. Jia, as long as Iwata Cong is still alive one day, I will never sell Nintendo to anyone. We Nintendo will come back!"
"After this village, there will be no shop!" boss Jia sighed. "10 billion US dollars is the highest price I give. In the future, no matter what, I won't give more than this price. Think about it!"
"Don't worry, you won't have this chance!" said Iwata coldly.
"All right!" Jia Yapeng nodded, then turned and left. Just before leaving, he patted Arakawa on the shoulder, then handed Arakawa a business card and said, "if you like, call me. We need talents like you!"
"..." Arakawa looked at the business card in his hand, at the angry Iwata Cong and Nintendo employees, and at the members of the Yamauchi family who seemed to ignore everything in front of him. Arakawa fell into meditation.
————————————
"Nintendo's people don't give face. Chairman, you flew all the way to attend shannei Pu's funeral, but they drove you out. It's really hateful. They blinded us $10 million!" Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu said very upset after leaving the temple.
Boss Jia did come specially. After learning about the news of Pu's death in shannei, boss Jia pushed everything out of his hand and arranged the trip at the first time.
"It doesn't matter. I gave Shan Nei Pu's face, not theirs!" boss Jia waved his hand, then smiled and said, "we attended the funeral, and the white bag was also sent. Next, they should receive my next gift!"
On April 18, after the farewell ceremony, shannei Pu's ashes were buried in the family cemetery of shannei family. A generation of game tyrants were officially buried, ending his era.
Inside Nintendo, however, it is particularly restless and turbulent.
Although Arakawa withdrew voluntarily and gave up the chairman and CEO of competitive paradise, this does not mean that Iwata Cong is smooth sailing.
Although he was temporarily appointed chairman, it was only to ensure that Nintendo could maintain normal operation after Yamauchi's death. Nintendo's board of directors was not willing to let Iwata succeed.
Iwata had a dialogue with Jia Yapeng at the funeral. Now everyone knows and they also know that Iwata is a loyal successor of Yamauchi PU. Under his leadership, Nintendo may continue to fight against Daqian games.
And continue to build expensive game consoles.
This is contrary to the opinions of some directors on Nintendo's board of directors. After Nintendo fell to the bottom, these profit seeking investors naturally began to consider the more realistic problem, that is, whether Nintendo should continue to spend a lot of money on R & D of the host.
If it was a few years ago, this would not be a problem at all. As the overlord of game consoles, what else would Nintendo develop without developing game consoles?
But now Nintendo's dominant position has been lost. Sales of both N64 and GBA are far lower than expected.
Moreover, in order to compete with the price of Daqian 199, the selling prices of N64 and GBA are very low, even to the point that they can't make up for the cost. They can only bring back a set of game cards.
With the game card on it, Nintendo clings to its host. When the host sales are less than 10 million, it is a miracle that the sales of a single game wants to exceed 3 million.
Therefore, there is a new voice within Nintendo's board of directors, which is to completely give up the host business of throwing money, become a third party in the research and development of games, and even work for Qianji transformer and PS.
After all, Nintendo still has a large number of famous game IPS. If these game IPS can be made into thousands of machine transformers and PS cassettes, the sales will be absolutely strong, and the sales will not be more than doubled.
