Chapter 1638

"I think this is stupid and completely unnecessary. Mr. Iwata took it for granted!" a chief financial officer of Microsoft immediately retorted.

"Where did I take it for granted?" said Iwata angrily.

"Then I would like to ask Mr. Iwata Cong, have you calculated how much we need to spend if we want to help these franchisees?" the financial counter asked.

"This......" Iwata Cong hesitated.

"Since you don't know, let me tell you!" the chief financial officer snorted coldly. "We investigated 100 franchisees and found that each franchisee paid an average of $1.72 million."

"If, according to Mr. Iwata, we take 80% of the steam game stores, the total number is 21000 online. If we calculate according to the average US $1.72 million of each store, we need to pay US $36.1 billion, and all the money will be handed over to Daqian game. Didn't we give the enemy a great wealth?"

The words of the chief financial officer made many executives excited about dominating the whole game industry cool in an instant.

36.1 billion dollars. This figure is terrible. Only a fool can set such a sum of money!

"That's a big mistake!" Iwata stood up and said, "you may think it's very exaggerated to spend $36.1 billion on Daqian. But if I change the adjective, we can buy the whole steam game for $36.1 billion, will you still think it's exaggerated?"

"..." the atmosphere of the scene has changed again. Although Steam games are not listed, they have tens of billions of profits every year. If calculated according to the traditional P / E ratio of more than 10 in the American stock market, steam games are at least large enterprises with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, and can become the top 20 giant enterprises in the United States in an instant!

After all, the total market value of Microsoft has just exceeded 200 billion.

If you can buy 100 billion shares with 36.1 billion, it is really not a loss!

"And we don't need to give us $36.1 billion in cash directly!" Iwata Cong added, "because first of all, we made a mistake, that is, we didn't give us $36.1 billion for these franchisees, but lent them this money!"

"We can make an agreement with these franchisees. To get our help, first of all, we can't help them in full. We can only help them pay 70% at most, and the remaining 30% needs to be paid by themselves. In this way, the expenses we need to pay have been reduced from 36.1 billion to about 25 billion!"

"The rest of the expenses we pay are actually equivalent to the plan we give them. They want to use the store for mortgage. In addition, although we won't directly care about them, we will take half of the daily film share for repayment until all the loans are paid off!"

"According to my calculation, if everything goes well, $25 billion can be fully recovered in only about five years, and we can properly charge a little interest. $25 billion can become $28 billion, which is much more than saving money in the bank."

"At that time, we will get the whole game market without paying a penny. Isn't this something that a fool can figure out?" Iwata said, and everyone at the scene was lost in thought.

What a wonderful plan!

Although you have to pay a lot of cash for a while, these cash can be recovered and you can get the whole game market. This is definitely not a loss, but a huge profit!

"Worthy of being a cunning Fusang man, his conscience is greatly broken!" people thought of this and looked at Iwata Cong with wrong eyes.

On the other side, Bill Gates also fell into meditation. He kept thinking about the advantages and disadvantages, and found that there was a loophole in Iwata's speech.

That is, these must be based on the fact that box games will eventually defeat steam game stores and take away most of the market.

If this can not be achieved, I am afraid that this $25 billion will still suffer heavy losses!

Of course, if it succeeds, Microsoft will open up the game market, and Microsoft's share price can soar by at least another 100 billion. Everything is so attractive, just like a poisonous apple.

Just how to choose, Bill Gates fell into hesitation.

"What do you think?" Bill Gates asked like Tony next to him.

With the passage of time, Bill Gates found that qualified Tony was indeed a good talent and relied more on him!

"Chairman, didn't you make a decision when you dropped out?" Tony whispered.

"Ha ha, you guy!" Bill Gates laughed and immediately said, "yes, it's a risky plan, but I'm willing to bet!"

"You are so wise!" Iwata said with admiration on his face.

"Don't rush to praise me, because it's not only about Microsoft, but also about Nintendo. This money can't be lent to box games by Microsoft alone. You Nintendo must also pay!!" Bill Gates said coldly.

This Nintendo really thinks Microsoft is a fool. They lend money to box games for nothing, but they don't have to do anything. They just need Microsoft to take the risk.

"We Microsoft can lend us $1 billion!" Iwata knew it was impossible not to pay, so he said very simply.

"No, the $1 billion is too little. We Microsoft lent $25 billion, and you only had $1 billion. Is that kidding children?" Bill Gates said coldly. "I don't want you to share half with us. You only need to pay $10 billion for the $25 billion, and we are responsible for the remaining $15 billion!"

"Mr. Bill Gates, we Nintendo really can't afford so much money!" Iwata said quickly.

"Don't lie to me here. Daqian gave you $1 billion in redemption money in those years, and then there was the money to sell Zelda. In addition, you have entered the steam game store and developed many games in the past two years. Your income has greatly increased. How can you not pay $10 billion!" Bill Gates is lying with his eyes open. Of course he knows, At this time, Nintendo, let alone $10 billion, can't take out even $5 billion and $3 billion. After all, Nintendo spends a lot of money in the bottomless hole of host development.

"We only have $2 billion at most, which is all the activity funds of Nintendo!" said Iwata reluctantly.

"If so, the remaining $23 billion can be lent by Microsoft, but $3 billion of it needs to be increased to enter the box game and obtain 30% of the shares."

"30% shares!" Iwata Cong was shocked. If this 30% was given to Microsoft, they would have only 21% left, and the control of the company would fall into Microsoft's hands.

"When the company was founded, it won 49% of the shares with us $1 billion, but now it only gets 30% with us $3 billion, which is a very huge concession!" Bill Gates said very firmly. "I have only two choices, either Nintendo will take us $10 billion to build the company, or accept a capital increase of US $3 billion and 30% of the shares."

"Otherwise, don't talk about it. If the company continues to operate normally, it has a great chance to beat Daqian!" Bill Gates said.

"There's still a chance... When Daqian reacts, we won't have a chance..." Iwata sighs helplessly, but he also understands that it's absolutely impossible for Microsoft to take risks with more than $20 billion without enough temptation.

Thinking of the opportunity to beat Daqian, Iwata made a decision.

"OK, but I have a request. Nintendo must control the company!" said Iwata.

"No problem, we didn't know how to operate games. This is the consensus we have reached for a long time!" Bill Gates agreed very readily. This cooperation is even reached.

Steam game store!

Dangerous!!!
