Chapter 212

"Go and ask, what kind of game is that? When was it released? " Henry told his secretary.

"Yes

When Henry heard this voice, he already knew what the game was. He asked his secretary to ask, mainly to know when the game was released! Due to their arrival, the butterfly effect, some things happened deviation!

This game should have been released as early as March this year, but I haven't seen it before!

After a while, the secretary came back.

"Chairman, that game is called" street overlord 2 ", which is a sequel of Capcom kapukong Co., Ltd. recently

"Not long ago? When is the specific time? " Henry frowned.

"About two weeks ago, Capcom kapukong Co., Ltd. developed" Street Fighter 2 "officially landed in the United States

Henry sniffed the words, nodded, and then said: "immediately investigate the sales of Street Fighter 2!"

"Yes

In 1991, the arcade industry was at a critical juncture. In Nintendo's fcsfc, two generations of mainframes formed a close encirclement. Arcade manufacturers turned their business focus to the home platform one after another. The arcade market was like a stagnant pool!

And the birth of "street overlord 2" saved the whole arcade industry!!!!!

However, the initial sales situation of "Street Fighter 2" substrate is not ideal. Many players regard it as a com game similar to "quick hit tornado" and "double dragon". However, when they gradually find the endless fun of people fighting, they finally form an irresistible storm of arcade popularity, More and more teenagers throw down the handle of the home computer and rush to the arcade hall, which has been left out in the cold, to experience this revolutionary game. Every character in the game has a large number of fans. There are children everywhere shouting "fuel consumption" and imitating the action of Shenglong Boxing at the same time!

Henry was also a member of the queue

In the evening, the secretary called Henry and said, "Chairman, we have made a clear investigation. At present, the market of arcade machines is in a slump, and the sales volume of" Street Fighter 2 "is very unsatisfactory. Only 500 boards are sold in the United States, and the situation in Japan is similar! For more information about Street Fighter 2, I have sent it to your email, you can check it in detail

"Well! OK, that's it! " Henry hung up, then turned on his computer, logged into his email, and clicked on the information sent by his secretary.

After browsing the materials, Henry found that Capcom kapukong Co., Ltd. can produce "Street Fighter 2", which is really not easy!

Arcade recession, Capcom's old rival SNK ready to switch to research and development of household computers. However, SNK is complacent and has launched a large-scale talent poaching campaign for the whole industry. Capcpm, the old enemy, has naturally become the focus of attention. The departure of many elites once caused a great delay in the development of games such as "Street Fighter 2"!

Capcom at this time is very poor, see talent is dug and helpless. In order to save money for the development of "Street Fighter 2", Capcom did not even hire professional dubbing actors, but all the people who are responsible for dubbing the game characters are our staff!

After reading the materials, Henry realized that Capcom's hard life had come to an end, and it was not far away that Capcom would prosper

And if you want to enter the arcade, and then into the home machine, Capcom is a very good choice!

Henry is very clear that Capcom will become a leader in the arcade industry by virtue of "Street Fighter 2", and the transplanting of "Street Fighter 2" to home computers is even more popular, with global sales of more than 6 million copies, which can be regarded as an insurmountable milestone of fighting games! Subsequently, the Japanese and American markets of "Street Fighter 2" played a huge role in promoting the hardware sales of Nintendo's new game console SFC. Especially in North America, the popularity of SFC reversed the competitive disadvantage of Sega MD and quickly soared up. Only during the 1992 Christmas business war, it successfully shipped 2 million sets of SFC!!!

This is the best opportunity to start Capcom!!!

Henry picked up the phone and dialed an ocean number!

"I'm Henry Williams!" Henry said solemnly on the phone.

"Hello, chairman!"!!! What can I do for you, please? "

"Immediately acquire Capcom kapukong Co., Ltd.!"

"Yes

"That's it for the time being, but I want the acquisition speed to be fast, and it's better to complete it in a week!" Henry said, "it doesn't matter if the price is higher!"

"I understand. I will try my best to acquire Capcom kapukong Co., Ltd. please rest assured, chairman of the board of directors!"

"Well! That's it. You'll arrange it now! " Henry said faintly.

"Yes!"

Henry hung up and made himself a cup of coffee, tasting it slowly and thinking about it.

Capcom kapukong Co., Ltd. is a very promising game company. This "street overlord 2" makes kapukong Co., Ltd. reach the peak in the arcade industry, and then make good achievements in the field of home computers. It has produced a variety of very popular games such as "biochemical crisis", "ghost cry", "Monster Hunter", "Ghost Warrior" and so on! It is well-known in the game industry, known as the "action God"!!! That is to say, in the field of making action games, there are few rivals, belonging to the supreme level!!!

……

……

"What?! Someone offered us $100 million to buy kapukong Co., Ltd.! " He said with a shocked face.

"Yes, President, Goldman Sachs Group has officially sent us an invitation to buy!"

"Goldman Sachs?"

"Yes, it's Goldman Sachs Group, but they are buying our Capcom Co., Ltd. on behalf of others! As for who we want to acquire behind the scenes, we don't know for the moment! "

"Well..." Qian benxian nodded to understand, and then pondered.

The Secretary saw this and quietly backed out.

At this time, the whole kapukong Co., Ltd. knew that someone wanted to buy the company!

Arcade recession, other manufacturers have changed careers. However, kapukong Co., Ltd. still insists on it, but unfortunately, the sales volume of "Street Fighter 2" is not ideal, and the company is in a very difficult situation at present! At this time, someone offered a high price to buy the company, which undoubtedly shocked everyone!

In the face of US $100 million, it's strange that Qian benxian is not excited. However, he is cautious and careful. He still made a phone call to inquire about the sales situation of "Street Fighter 2" in the marketing department. If the sales situation improves and is hot, he won't sell the company. On the contrary, sell it quickly!

"President, the reputation of the game is good, and the sales increased last week!"

"How much more?" he asked

"Japan has added 200 game boards, and the United States has added 100 game boards!"

When Qian benxiansan heard this, he was silent. The increase in sales meant that the game was popular, but the increase in the number was not too much.

Sell the company or

Move this constitution three immediately indecisive!

But then, people from Goldman Sachs Group came to kapukong Co., Ltd. and said to Mr. Nakamoto: "Mr. Nakamoto, we are also entrusted with this acquisition. Within three days, if your company has not made a decision, we will give up this acquisition directly!"

"Qian benxian, third president, the current game market has been occupied by Nintendo's home computers, and the arcade is no longer available. I advise you to agree to the acquisition as soon as possible. It's a wise decision! Otherwise, in case the buyer behind the scenes decides not to buy kapukong Co., Ltd., you can imagine what kapukong society is like? I'm afraid at that time, even if you only sold for 10 million dollars, no one wanted to... "

"Thank you for reminding me. I'll get back to you as soon as possible!" Move this constitution three respectful voice way!

"Well!"

……

The next day, the representative of Goldman Sachs Group came again.

"I have bad news for you, Qian benxian San."

"What's the bad news?" he asked nervously

"Well, the purchaser finds the arcade market depressed and seems to want to give up the acquisition of kapukong Co., Ltd.!"

"Give up the acquisition?" When Qian benxiansan heard this, he was worried.

"We haven't been officially informed yet, but his patience is gone. If you still don't agree to be acquired today, maybe..."

The representative of Goldman Sachs stopped. Words do not say death, leaving a line of leeway, but the meaning is to move this constitution three understand!

Nakamoto's heart is tangled.

"The third president of Qian benxian, please make a decision! Do you want 100 million dollars or a half dead company? In fact, it's not a hard question to choose, is it? " A representative of Goldman Sachs said.

"I want to make a phone call!" He said in a low and hoarse voice.

"Please, I'll wait for you outside!"

Mr. Nakamoto immediately dialed the marketing manager's number: "has the sales volume of Street Fighter 2 been counted out this week? How much is the sales volume?"

"Statistics show that although the sales volume has increased, the increase is very small?"

"How much more?" he said

"Japan and the United States have added a total of 100 game boards!"

"Only so little? More than 300 last week! "

"A lot of players reflect that the game is not balanced enough, and there are many bugs, so..." the marketing manager whispered.

He didn't say anything more, "bang" and hung up heavily. Then he took a deep breath, opened the door of the office and went out.

"The third president of Qian benxian, the call is over?" The representative of Goldman Sachs Group said with a smile.

"Yes, it's over!"

"What's your decision, then?"

"I decided to sell kapukong Co., Ltd.!"

With these words, he felt relieved, and suddenly felt that a huge stone on his body had finally fallen to the ground
