Chapter 756 Acquisition of Capcom
Capcom, a well-known game software company in the gaming industry, was once extremely glorious. It never expected that it would encounter the dilemma of being forced to pay debts. Of course, the reason why it is facing this dilemma now is because it has lost all its chips (referring to the "Resident Evil" series).
) bet on Nintendo's NGC (which resulted in a disastrous failure, NGC was hit hard, sales were far inferior to ps2 and xbox, and Capcom also suffered a heavy setback), an even more unforgivable mistake was that its president Kenzo Mimoto made the company's huge sum
The funds were used for real estate speculation, resulting in huge losses.
This is also the main reason why Capcom incurred 40 billion yen (approximately US$430 million) in debt. Today, Capcom’s market value is only less than US$600 million, but its debt is as high as US$430 million, which is simply a huge debt for Capcom.
This was a disaster. Especially after the Japanese stock market suffered a sharp decline, many creditors who originally had hopes for Capcom swarmed in to collect debts from it.
In desperation, Kenzo Kenzo was preparing to mortgage and sell off a large number of assets including the Capcom Building to repay huge debts. At this time, Lin Feng suddenly appeared and announced that he would acquire Kenzo Kenzo for a total price of US$700 million.
51% of capcom shares.
Faced with the bait thrown by Lin Feng, Kenzo Kenzo was tempted by the offer of US$50 million. Capcom's current market value is just over $500 million, which fully demonstrated Lin Feng's sincerity. Kenzo Kenzo almost immediately agreed.
However, during this period of time, Japan was filled with hatred for Lam Feng. Due to pressure from all walks of life, Kenzo Senmoto was very moved and wanted to agree, but in the end he could only reluctantly decline Lam Feng's acquisition.
But today Lin Feng came again and brought a higher quotation, which completely shaken Kenzo Senmoto.
"President Kenzo Kenzo, I will pay you $600 million to acquire 51% of your capcom shares." Lin Feng looked at Kenzo Kenzo and said with high spirits and confidence.
600 million U.S. dollars! Hearing this number, Kenzo Shikimoto's heart skipped a beat. This number is too tempting. It has exceeded the current market value of Capcom! And if you include Capcom's 40 billion yen debt, this price is too generous.
Couldn't be more generous.
Looking at the battle between heaven and man, Kenzo Shikimoto, Lin Feng secretly sneered in his heart. During this period, the Japanese continued to advocate the Empire of Japan, constantly criticized themselves, and called on the entire Japanese gaming industry to unite to ban them and their "second game"
"But what happens now, no matter how fiercely these Japanese people clamor, they will still compromise in the face of absolute interests.
Although the asking price of US$600 million has exceeded the market value twice, it is indeed worth it. You must know that Capcom's signature games have too many fans around the world, especially the "Resident Evil" and "Street Fighter" series, both of which are worth RMB 100 million.
Thousands of game players are fascinated by it. Moreover, "Resident Evil" can also be adapted into a movie.
What's more, all walks of life in Japan now share the same hatred for Lin Feng, and actually want to unite to block him. Capcom is Lin Feng's breakthrough. With capcom, and his own "second world", Lin Feng believes in his "second game"
"It will be able to completely set sail in Japan and even the world's home machine market.
Therefore, to a certain extent, Lin Feng’s US$600 million is considered to be a good value for money.
"Mr. Lin, but the outside world is very hostile to Mr. Lin now. Under such circumstances, it is a very difficult decision for me to sell Capcom, and I have to bear a lot of pressure." Kenzo Masakimoto said with a troubled face.
Lin Feng sneered several times. What's the problem? He just wants to make more money. But 600 million US dollars is already Lin Feng's limit. The 10 billion US dollars invested in "Second Game" came from the stock market, which is fast money, but this money
It wasn't brought by the strong wind, and Lin Feng wasn't taken advantage of.
"President Kenzo Tsukimoto, 600 million US dollars is already my limit. If it really embarrasses President Kenzo Tsukimoto, then I won't embarrass President Kenzo Tsukimoto. For 600 million dollars, I can buy it."
I saw a lot of things. For example, Namco Palace, Konami..." Lin Feng said, stood up and walked out.
When Kenzo Senmoto saw it, he immediately became anxious. He originally just wanted to see if he could knock more, but unexpectedly Lin Feng was so "impulsive" and left immediately without giving him any room for bargaining.
"Mr. Lin, please stay. Mr. Lin, please stay. Everything is easy to discuss. Everything is easy to discuss!" Kenzo Senmoto stepped forward with a look of urgency and quickly grabbed Lin Feng.
Lin Feng felt a burst of disdain in his heart - Damn! These are the fucking Japanese. Seeking advantage and forgetting loyalty, bullying the weak and fearing the strong!
"So what happens now? If Kenzo Senmoto wants to trade, we will talk. Otherwise, I will talk to other companies. I believe that no one in this world can refuse money, a lot of money." Lin Feng said coldly.
.
"Deal, deal, of course, deal." Kenzo Senmoto personally brought a cup of coffee to Lin Feng with a flattering look on his face.
"Since we are willing to trade, we are ready to sign a contract. But now I am only willing to offer 590 million US dollars. I won't give you a cent more. This is your punishment just now." Lin Feng said in an extremely cold tone.
Ah! Kenzo Senmoto looked shocked. In just such a short time, he lost 10 million U.S. dollars. This was too fast. He was about to protest, but he saw Lin Feng's mouth moving again, and the shape of his mouth seemed to be saying——
580 million.
"Okay, okay, 590 million is 590 million!" Kenzo Kenzo agreed quickly. If he wanted to talk again, Lin Feng would cut the price again. Although he was very unhappy, this 590 million US dollars was really very valuable.
It's tempting. US$590 million is enough for him to buy an island in Europe and live a leisurely life.
Subsequently, the two parties signed a peace agreement, and Lin Feng acquired 51% of Capcom's shares from Kenzo Qianmoto at a price of US$590 million, officially becoming Capcom's largest shareholder and president.
When Lin Feng held a high-profile press conference to announce his successful acquisition of Capcom, the whole of Japan was shocked. This Chinese who had just acquired Sega's hardware development department actually acquired Capcom again in just a few days, shocking all Japan.
Right-wingers are going crazy. You know, it is this Chinese who attacked the Japanese stock market and the Japanese yen, causing the Japanese government's foreign exchange reserves to lose more than 54 billion U.S. dollars, and the market value of major companies has dropped significantly due to the severe decline in stock prices.
/3 More than that, hundreds of billions of dollars in market value have evaporated in vain. And the people who caused all this are now using the astonishing profits earned from them to make acquisitions in Japan. This makes Japan's extreme right-wingers embarrassed.
"Kenzo Tsukimoto, a traitor! Kenzo Tsukimoto, a Japanese traitor!" Many extreme right-wingers took to the streets and protested strongly at the entrance of the Capcom building, demanding that Kenzo Tsukimoto come out to explain the matter. Some even went so far as to He threatened to have Kenzo Kenzo commit suicide by committing seppuku.
Kenzo Senmoto had already anticipated the actions of these extreme right-wingers, so after receiving a check from Lin Feng and signing the transfer agreement, he ran to Europe to live his leisurely retirement life.
Nintendo and Sony were really shocked by Lin Feng's thunderous acquisition of Capcom. Although they were extremely wary of Lin Feng before, they were not overly worried. In the home game console market, if there is no support from software manufacturers, then Good consoles are useless. Therefore, Nintendo and Sony were not worried at all before. The two companies have already agreed with various Japanese software companies not to produce any games for the "Second Game" console.
But now that Lin Feng has acquired Capcom, the situation has changed drastically. With the support of Capcom, the console of the "Second Game" is absolutely guaranteed. You know, "Resident Evil" has millions in Japan Fans, if Lin Feng requires "Resident Evil" to be released only on his future consoles in the future, it will be a very painful thing for many Japanese game fans. A conservative estimate is that there are at least more than 500,000 " "Resident Evil fans" will choose to buy a "second game" console to support "Resident Evil".
What's more, "capcom" also owns classic games such as "Mega Man", "Dino Crisis", and "Onimusha". These games have a large number of fans and can also bring many fans to the "second game".
Trouble this time! - Nintendo President Satoru Iwata and newly-appointed Sony President Howard Stringer had a secret secret in their minds. You know, Lam Feng's acquisition of Capcom not only represents Lam Feng's "second game" Having absolute game software support can bring a large number of fans, and it will also be a blow to their consoles.
Poaching! - Nintendo President Satoru Iwata and Sony President Howard Stringer came up with a plan at the same time. Now that Lin Feng has just acquired Capcom, it is a time when Capcom's people are unstable. After all, Capcom's designers are all Japanese. Suddenly The boss is replaced by a Chinese, especially since this Chinese is currently Japan's public enemy. As long as Nintendo and Sony take a little gold and dollar offensive, I believe these people will soon be shaken.
But before Satoru Iwata and Howard Stringer could take action, Lin Feng had already taken action.
