Chapter 269

Name:Silicon Valley Author:Baisha
Naughty dog and R star company suddenly buy firefly game company to send the acquisition request, very surprised, how they did not expect firefly game company will take a fancy to themselves!

You know, there are tens of thousands of game companies around the world. Naughty dog and R star are not so impressive. Why do firefly game companies choose themselves? I don't think so. I'm very proud. Firefly game company to give the acquisition conditions, is very exciting.

They will finance the company at a premium and get a 70% stake to make it a game studio of firefly. Studio has a certain degree of autonomy, the parent company in general, does not intervene.

Firefly game company to naughty dog and R star respectively out of the amount of financing is 15 million dollars, 10 million dollars, belongs to the super high price, can't help but they are not excited.

The two companies hardly thought about it and immediately agreed to firefly's terms.

After acquiring these two companies, Henry sent them the game design outlines of "Guhuo dog 1" and "Grand Theft Auto Driver 1" to develop the game! When they saw the outline of the game design, they were shocked. They felt that the game was like a game they had always wanted to develop. They had been stuck in the throat before. But when they saw the outline of the game design, they were suddenly ready to come out. It was very exciting!

They asked with admiration which outstanding game designer designed the game, and the staff told them calmly that it was the boss, Henry Williams!

When they heard this, they were shocked!

Henry has too many titles, such as the world's richest man, gifted writer, well-known screenwriter, investment genius and so on. I didn't expect that he was still such a powerful game designer

What is Henry doing now?

He's thinking about grabbing Nintendo's super masterpiece, Pokemon.

It's too late to plagiarize. As early as 1990, game freak was already developing it. If Henry designed Pikachu, he might crash and be accused of stealing trade secrets

Those who are familiar with Pokemon should know that the father of Pokemon is Tian Jiri.

At first, Gamefreak was just a game reference magazine, run by Mr. Tian Jiri and painted by Mr. sugmori. Then in 1989, Tian Jiri Zhi, Shan Senjian and zengshun founded game freak Co., Ltd. together. Their business expanded from game magazine to game development.

At the moment, they are developing games for Nintendo. However, Gamefreak company does not belong to Nintendo, just equivalent to a third-party game manufacturer!

Many people jokingly call "Pokemon" a masterpiece picked up by Nintendo!

In fact, it is. In 1990, Gamefreak was going to develop a game called "capsule monster". When tanjiri submitted the idea to Nintendo, it was rejected. Due to the trademark rights of capsule monster, the game was also forced to change its name, initially abbreviated as capumon, and later changed the capsule to pocket.

Although not supported by Nintendo, tanjiri still insists on developing Pokemon.

You know, Pokemon has been developed since 1990, and it was not completed until 1996. If it can get the support of Nintendo, how long will it take?

After three or four years of intermittent development, Tian Jiri found Nintendo's best designer, Miyamoto, with semi-finished products. Miyamoto looked at it and said, "Oh, this game is good. It has great sales potential."! So, with Miyamoto's support, Nintendo reluctantly funded Gamefreak to develop Pokemon, and agreed that the game could be landed on Nintendo's game platform. Of course, Nintendo paid the money and took away the game copyright by the way!

I didn't think about it, but I found a huge golden mountain

The value derived from Pokemon is even higher than Super Mario. It is one of Nintendo's most profitable games. At that time, Nintendo was almost beaten by Sony's PS1. Fortunately, there was "Pokemon", which made Nintendo glow for the second spring!

Henry raised the corner of his mouth and said with a light smile: "since other people take the initiative to push out Pokemon and regard it as dross, then I'm sorry..."

Henry then sent someone to contact Gamefreak and bought it with a lot of money.

Tian Jiri Zhi and others are almost ready to cry out. After a long drought, we have money to develop the game. In the face of the amazing preferential terms offered by firefly, Tian Jiri, Shan Senjian and zengshun agreed immediately.

Firefly raised $10 million for Gamefreak, leaving the three of them a 30% stake.

After Henry acquired Gamefreak, he was very happy and held a special press conference to publicize the event. His purpose was nothing more than to show Nintendo.

Nintendo said it was disdainful and told reporters: "the game designed by Gamefreak company came to Nintendo at the beginning, but the game was so rubbish that it was rejected by us! I didn't expect firefly game company to pick up what we don't want. Hehe, isn't there any game company willing to develop games on your yadali game console, so they are desperate? Ha ha... "

Cao NIMA, the dog mouth cannot spit out the ivory, and so on "the Pokemon" develops, has you to cry!!!

Henry shook his head and sneered scornfully.

Now that he has won Pokemon, Henry is wondering if he will launch Pokemon animation, cartoon and pet toys to sweep Japan in an all-round way.

Just do what you say, but before that, make all the preparations.

Game is fundamental. Gamefreak company has recruited a large number of designers, programmers and painters after obtaining funds. Especially the painter, the recruitment of more than 200 people, strive to design a variety of Pokemon with the fastest speed. In addition, we also hired 10 excellent screenwriters to design the game. In terms of game music, five of Japan's most famous musicians were also employed to design it. For dubbing, many professional voice actors were invited.

It can be said that for "Pokemon" the development of this game is at all costs.

Many game companies can't help but envy Gamefreak when they see that it is so rich and powerful.

"Gamefreak is so lucky that it will be favored by Henry Williams. There will be no lack of funds for developing games in the future!"

"I really envy that we have never been so rich in developing games! As a screenwriter, as a voice actor, and as a coder, you have to work hard to write code. You're tired of being a dog when you're doing several jobs... "

“……”

It's still August 1992. Henry estimated that Pokemon could be made before the end of 1993.

It's not a big game in the future. It's several gigabytes in size. It takes a long time to download. Nowadays, the development cycle of games is usually only a few months. EA game company, for example, is a maniac in the game industry. It can produce several games in a month, but the quality is not bad

"Pokemon" in accordance with the boutique game to do, a year is enough time! In addition, the game design of Tian Jiji and others has been started since 1990, but there is no money to develop the game.

With funds, the speed of development is the same as taking a rocket.

……

The research and development of yadali "Jaguar" is very confidential, and the outside world has not received any news. I'm afraid no one can imagine that Jaguar will be a 64 bit game machine, and it can be connected to the Internet!

Good confidentiality can shock Nintendo, SEGA and Sony when the game console is on sale.

Because of its powerful function and performance, the cost of hardware is high. However, Henry has planned to sell at a loss. As long as you survive for the first two years, the production cost will be greatly reduced. At that time, you can make money just by selling machines. Sony's PS1 was sold in 1994 and Jaguar's in 2001.

During this period, as long as the Jaguar occupies the market, and then makes money through the game, it can not only make up for the loss, but also make a lot of money.

Losing money is only for a while, but the game has been making money!

After the success of Jaguar, it will have countless loyal fans, so when Atari launches the second generation of Jaguar, everyone will be crazy!

It's hard at the beginning

At present, yadali has been failing, so that third-party game manufacturers have no confidence in it. This is a problem. So, before the launch of Jaguar, Henry decided to let Atari develop a product to test the bull's knife and revive its momentum!

At the same time, it's also a publicity for Pokemon.

What Henry wants Atari to develop is very simple. It's an electronic pet!

This product was originally developed by Japan's Wandai company. Wandai company was going to go bankrupt because it developed electronic pets, which swept the world and finally survived!

Electronic pet is called "tuomagezi" in Japan“ The "tuomagezi" series has sold a total of 70 million units in the world. Without all kinds of pirated products, hundreds of millions of them would be OK!

In fact, electronic pet is a very small machine with a small screen in the middle. However, due to the introduction of the novel system of simulated breeding and its lovely appearance, it has triggered a worldwide upsurge as soon as it is launched. Its huge charm has created a cross era fan layer for it, and no one can stop it!

Electronic pets are so powerful, but they don't have much technology. The most important thing is creativity.

When it comes to China, it will be pirated for you every minute. In those days, all kinds of electronic pets, such as chickens and ducks, could be seen everywhere. Almost every student bought one. Even many office workers and housewives loved electronic pets so much!

Later, electronic pets can also give birth to dolls online through infrared, which is even more interesting.

Henry came to yadali company and told them this idea. As soon as they heard it, they immediately realized that once such a product was launched, it would definitely sell very well!

Henry said with a smile: "the name of the product is" Atari electronic pet ". Gamefreak is just developing" Pokemon ". You will use some of your lovely pets in" Atari electronic pet ". Once the Atari electronic pet is popular all over the world, players will be pleasantly surprised when they see Pokemon, which can greatly promote the sales of Jaguar game console

When they heard the words, they nodded again and again.

Henry can't help laughing. Pikachu is cute. If you log on to Atari electronic pet, I don't know how many people will be cute by it
