Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

"Regarding this question, please allow me to keep it secret, but I believe you will be able to guess it in the future."

For Hayakawa Ueto's simple and direct inquiry, Takeyusei just gave a slightly mysterious smile, and then did not intend to answer any questions.

He still wants to achieve the ambition of data monopoly, so it is naturally impossible to easily tell the other party all of this idea.

In fact, there is no big problem in saying it, because I am not bad at the data of a company called Su Rui Electronics.

After letting them know, at most they will be more vigilant, and will make their own game engine in advance, and then distribute it to their own studios and partners.

But this doesn't affect anything. In the previous life, the Unreal Engine was still the world's number one game engine, and the others were each company's own special-purpose engine, and they were not diverse.

And Unreal Engine can make anything, and it covers a wide range. This is the absolute advantage of Unreal Engine. As long as you don’t die, there is no possibility of being killed.

Ueto Hayakawa had also expected that Zhu Youxing would answer in this way, so it was not surprising, and then the two parties directly entered the link of price negotiation.

At this time, Zhu Youxing raised three fingers, and then slowly said: "Three billion yen, you can only pay one billion yen in the first year, and you can pay slowly in the follow-up, don't rush to pay all at once. Payment completed."

Hayakawa Ueto's pupils shrank slightly.

Even though he was prepared, he was still somewhat intimidated by the price.

Their current development cost for a game is only about one billion yen, while Takeyou Star directly costs 30 billion yen for a piece of software, which is somewhat unacceptable for Ueto Hayakawa.

But he understands that this is a premium for competitors.

"We need to negotiate this price again, and hope it can be lowered."

Zhu Youxing shook his head: "This is non-negotiable, as you said just now, you are not only using it for game development, but also planning to use it for film and television special effects development, so in order to provide you with continuous after-sales service, This is also a big expense, and this kind of money cannot be saved."

"Continuous after-sales service?"

"That's right." Zhu Youxing nodded, "We will provide customized software modification services according to your needs at any time, so as to help your film and television special effects development and game development be more perfect. This is not a one-time sale, but a continuous improvement. A continuous service, in fact, I don’t simply think that this is a piece of software, but more like selling a service.”

Hayakawa Ueto was lost in thought.

Zhu Youxing's words are indeed very novel.

Similar situations did not happen in many business negotiations before.

Many of the business negotiations that Ueto Hayakawa faced before had some leeway.

Of course, there was no opportunity to discuss anything with some industry competitors before.

The most is that the other party goes bankrupt, and then buys the other party with its own funds. Su Rui Electronics has always taken the initiative.

But now, it is no longer his own side that takes the initiative, but the opponent's side.

The other party bites the price, and I don't seem to have any ability to refuse.

At this time, Zhuyouxing began to be persuasive: "You can imagine that with this engine, you can develop games with multiple studios at the same time, then the output of more than ten games a year will be more than ten, and the quality and picture quality will be the same. Not bad, this is very cost-effective, especially since you are not limited to game production, but also film and television special effects, so in terms of film and television special effects, you will also have a certain advantage."

Ueto Hayakawa felt that Zhu Yuxing was a good lobbyist.

His words can always hit other people's hearts directly, making them shake themselves.

Even Hayakawa Ueto was also persuaded, and even began to think that the price of 30 billion yen was a good deal.

But he still wanted to hold on.

Of course, the result is predictable, and the price will not change any more.

30 billion yen, 300 million U.S. dollars.

Payment in installments, US dollar priority, only 10 million US dollars, or one billion yen, in the first year, which is actually quite acceptable.

The development of a game currently costs about 10 million US dollars. With this, the efficiency of game development will be twice the result with half the effort, and there are really few reasons for rejecting it.

So Hayakawa Ueto didn't hold on for too long, and then agreed to the price.

This price is basically at the limit of the price he negotiated with Bailey. If it is even 10 million dollars more, they will be a little unacceptable.

"Very well, it seems that Mr. Hayakawa has made a decision. What I have to say is that your choice is very wise. In the current game environment, whoever can have the new technology first will be able to win the first prize." Opportunity, and we are the ones who take the lead.”

Ueto Hayakawa's heart moved when he heard Zhu Youxing's words: "President Zhu You, what do you mean..."

Zhu Youxing knocked on the table and said: "Of course, it is the American market, the European market, and even the global market. We are the first to own this new technology, and before other companies have time to respond, we will have the first advantage. It's a good strategy to build on your strengths, isn't it?"

Hayakawa Ueto suddenly understood.

He also immediately understood the meaning of Zhu Youxing's words.

Zhu Youxing no longer regards him as a competitor, but more like a partner who advances and retreats together.

To be honest, Ueto Hayakawa thought it was pretty good.

Both parties are companies from Japan. If they are not competing in the Japanese market, they can support each other in the world.

The market is huge, and it is completely impossible for a company to understand everything.

No game company dares to say that it can take over all four billion game players in the future, and make all four billion players like their game consoles and games. Some people will always like this, and some will like that. The choice is very strange.

Zhu Youxing only continued to expand his advantages through classic games, so that others could not catch up with his status, but he really didn't dare to think so if he wanted to monopolize four billion players.

Then it would be better to recruit a few more partners with sufficient strength, isn't that also very good.

In Zhu Youxing's original world, similar things actually happened.

In a certain game annual selection, three of the most powerful game console development companies at that time stood together on the exhibition stand, announcing to the world that they were not competitors. And the people who serve, what they hope most is to bring good games to players.
