Chapter 1594 Inheriting the legacy
"Senior Yamauchi, you are my benefactor!" Jia Yapeng said in a slightly hoarse voice. "I still remember that I came to Nintendo for the first time 6 years ago and I was lucky enough to meet you."
"Although my cooperation with you is always full of chaos, even I cannot deny that without Nintendo, there would be no success of Pokemon, and perhaps not as Daqian as he is now. You are my benefactor, and I will remember it for the rest of my life!"
"It's hypocritical... I said it was kind to me, but I cheated us to this point!" Boss Jia's voice was not too small, so many people around him heard it. One of the Nintendo employees couldn't help but quarrel with disdain.
"Although we had a very unpleasant fuss later!" Boss Jia seemed to hear the employee's complaints, so he continued, "But I want to say that there are talented people in the country, and it has been coquettish for hundreds of years!"
"Your era is over. Next, I will carry the banner of the game, create more interesting games for players around the world, and create a larger platform. We will become the king of the next era. We will inherit your legacy and create an interesting future!"
"I think you will be very happy to have an opponent and successor like me!" Boss Jia said lightly and stood up, and the Nintendo employees around him all glared at Boss Jia.
It was the biggest provocation that he actually said in front of Hiroshi Yamauchi's spirit that he wanted to inherit Nintendo's will!
"You are very angry with me?" Boss Jia looked around the Nintendo employees around him, and then smiled, "I am looking forward to you. You can defeat me and defeat me with games. At that time, you can also inherit my will in front of my spirit!"
"..." Nintendo's employees were immediately criticized and couldn't speak.
"Mr. Jia, it's getting late, please go back!" Seeing this, Iwada Seizure directly issued an order to expel Boss Jia.
He has now passed the resolution of the board of directors and became Nintendo's next chairman. If he doesn't drive Jia Yapeng away at this time, how can he still be the chairman of Nintendo!
"Mr. Iwata, I heard that you are now the chairman of Nintendo!" Boss Jia looked at Iwata Satoshi, then smiled and said in a voice that everyone could hear, "I'll discuss something with you!"
"What?"
"You sell Nintendo to me, I can pay $10 billion to acquire you!" Boss Jia's words instantly caused a burst of exclamations on the entire scene.
A $10 billion acquisition of Nintendo is such a big deal.
You should know that even when Nintendo was at its peak, its total market value was only over $10 billion. Now Nintendo has fallen to the bottom and its market value has fallen to less than $6 billion. Everyone is still willing to pay 10 billion to acquire Nintendo. This is definitely a cost-effective price. For a moment, almost all Nintendo employees were discussing this matter.
Some Nintendo employees thought about it and found that if Nintendo sold it to Daqian, they would become Daqian's employee, and Nintendo could become the world's number one game manufacturer again. This seems to be a pretty good result. It is also possible that Jia Yapeng inherits the will of Yamauchi Hiroshi, and there is no problem with Jiang Zi.
Only Iwada Seung-shi, trembling all over. He pointed at Jia Yapeng's nose and said, "Mr. Jia, as long as Iwada Seung-shi is still here for one day, I will never sell Nintendo to anyone. We Nintendo will come back!"
"After passing this village, there will be no such store!" Boss Jia sighed and said, "10 billion US dollars is the highest price I have given. In the future, I will not give a price that exceeds this number. You should consider it carefully!"
"Don't worry, you won't have this opportunity!" Iwada Satoshi said coldly.
"Okay!" Jia Yapeng nodded, then turned around and left, but before leaving, he patted Shi Arakawa on the shoulder, then handed him a business card to Shi Arakawa and said, "If you want, call me, we Daqian needs talents like you!"
"..." Arakawa Mi looked at the business card in her hand, then looked at the angry Satoshi Iwada and Nintendo employees, as well as the members of the Yamauchi family who seemed to turn a blind eye to everything in front of her and completely indifferent. Arakawa Mi fell into deep thought.
"These people from Nintendo are so embarrassed. Chairman, you flew all the way to attend the funeral of Yamauchi, but they drove you out. It's really abominable. We've been wasting our $10 million!" After leaving the temple, Shiyu Kasumi said unhappily.
Boss Jia did come here on purpose. After learning about the news of Yamauchi’s death, Boss Jia turned down everything in his hand and arranged the itinerary as soon as possible.
"It doesn't matter, I give Hiroshi Yamauchi, not their face!" Boss Jia waved his hand, then smiled slightly and said, "We're attending the funeral, and the free bag is also given. Then, I'll receive my next gift!"
On April 18, after the farewell ceremony, Yamauchi Hiro's ashes were buried into the family cemetery of the Yamauchi family. A generation of tyrants was officially buried, ending his era.
However, inside Nintendo, it is particularly uneasy and turbulent.
Although Arakawa Min voluntarily withdrew and gave up the chairman and CEO of the Competition Paradise, this does not mean that Iwada Satoshi's success is smooth.
Although he was temporarily appointed as chairman, this was just a decision to ensure that Nintendo could maintain normal operation after the death of Hiroshi Yamauchi. Nintendo's board of directors was not willing to let Iwada succeed to the throne.
Everyone knows the conversation between Iwada Satoshi and Jia Yapeng at the funeral site. They also know that Iwada Satoshi is a loyal successor of Hiroshi Yamauchi. Under his leadership, Nintendo may continue to fight with Daqian Games.
We also need to continue to invest in huge game consoles.
This is contrary to the opinions of some directors on Nintendo's board of directors. After Nintendo fell to the bottom, these profit-seeking investors naturally began to consider the more realistic question, that is, whether Nintendo should continue to spend huge amounts of money on developing consoles.
If it was a few years ago, this was not a problem at all. As the overlord of game consoles, what else would Nintendo develop without developing game consoles?
But now Nintendo's dominance has lost its position, and sales are far lower than expected, both N64 and GBA.
Moreover, in order to compete with the price of Daqian 199, the N64 and GBA are extremely low, and they are even at the point where the cost cannot be compensated. They can only bring them back with one set of game cards.
Being stuck with the game, Nintendo holds his console tightly. When the console sales are less than 10 million, it is a miracle to have a single game sales exceeding 3 million.
Therefore, a new voice gradually emerged within the Nintendo board of directors, which was to completely give up the money-spending hosting business, become a third party in the development of games with peace of mind, and even work for Qianjibian and PS.
