"I think this is stupid and completely unnecessary. Mr. Iwata took it too much!" A financial director under Microsoft immediately retorted.

"How could I take it for granted?" Iwada Satoshi said angrily.

"Then I would like to ask Mr. Satoshi Iwata, have you calculated how much it will cost if we want to help these franchisees?" the financial officer asked.

"This..." Iwada Satoshi hesitated a little.

"Since you don't know, I'll tell you!" The financial director snorted coldly and said, "We conducted a survey of 100 franchisees and found that each franchisee was an average of $1.72 million."

"If we take 80% of the steam game stores as Mr. Iwata said, then the total number is 21,000 online. According to the average of US$1.72 million per company, we will need to pay US$36.1 billion, and the money will be given to Daqian Games. Wouldn't we give the enemy a great fortune?"

The words of the Financial Director made many executives who were excited to hear the overall game industry and felt a chill in their bodies.

$36.1 billion, this number is so terrible, only fools can get such a sum of money!

"It's a big mistake!" Iwada Satoshi stood up and said, "You may feel it's very exaggerated when you hear that you spend $36.1 billion to Daqian. But if I change the adjective and we can buy the entire steam game for $36.1 billion, will you still feel it's exaggerated?"

"..." The atmosphere at the scene changed again. Although Steam Games was not listed, the annual profit of tens of billions of dollars was placed there. According to the traditional price-to-earnings ratio of more than 100 million in the US stock market, Steam Games is at least a large enterprise with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, and can instantly become the top 20 giant enterprises in the US stock market!

After all, Microsoft's total market value has just exceeded 200 billion.

If you can buy a 100 billion share with 36.1 billion, it will be a good loss!

"And we don't need to directly pay $36.1 billion in cash!" Iwada Satoshi said again, "Because first of all, there is one thing that everyone is wrong, that is, we are not paying $36.1 billion for these franchisees, but lending them the money!"

"We can make an agreement with these franchisees that we can get our help. First of all, we cannot fully help the various compensation fees they need to pay. At most, we can only help them 70%. The remaining 30% need to be paid by themselves, so the fees we need to pay will be reduced from 36.1 billion to about 25 billion!"

"The remaining fees we pay are actually equivalent to the plan we give them, and they have to use the store to mortgage them. In addition, although we will not directly care about them, we will take half of the daily film sharing to repay the loan until all the loans are paid off!"

"According to my calculations, if everything goes well, $25 billion will be recovered in just about five years, and we can also collect a little interest appropriately. $25 billion can become $28 billion, which is much more than transferring money to the bank."

"When that time, we will be equivalent to not paying a penny and getting the entire game market. Isn't this something that even a fool can figure out clearly?" Iwata Satoshi finished speaking, and everyone at the scene fell into deep thought.

This plan is wonderful!

Although you have to pay a lot of cash in a short time, all of this cash can be recovered and you can also obtain the entire game market. This is definitely not a loss, but it will make a huge profit!

"I am a cunning Fusang man, and his conscience is very bad!" Everyone thought of this, and the eyes of Iwada Satoshi were not right.

Bill Gates on the other side was also in deep thought. He kept thinking about the pros and cons and found that there was actually a loophole in Satoshi Iwata's words.

That is, these must be based on the fact that Box Games ultimately defeated the Steam Game Store and took away most of the market.

If this cannot be achieved, I am afraid that the $25 billion will still suffer a heavy loss!

Of course, if it succeeds, Microsoft will open up the game market and its stock price will soar by at least 100 billion. Everything is so tempting, like a poisonous apple.

But how to choose, Bill Gates fell into hesitation.

"What do you think?" Bill Gates asked like Tony beside him.

As time goes by, Bill Gates finds more and more that qualified Tony is indeed a good talent and he relies more on him!

"Chairman, didn't you make a decision when you dropped out of school?" Tony said in a low voice.

"Haha, you guy!" Bill Gates laughed and immediately said, "Yes, this is a very risky plan, but I'm willing to take a gamble!"

"You are so wise!" Iwada Satoshi looked admiring.

"Don't rush to praise me, because this matter is not only for our Microsoft, but also for your Nintendo. This money cannot be lent to Box Games by our Microsoft alone. Nintendo must pay for it too!!" Bill Gates said coldly.

Nintendo really thinks Microsoft is a fool, and they lend money to Box Games for nothing, but they don’t have to do anything, just Microsoft takes the risk.

"We Microsoft can lend $1 billion!" Iwata Satoshi knew that it was impossible for him to not pay, so he said very simply.

"No, $1 billion is too little. Microsoft lent out 25 billion, you only 1 billion. Are you coaxing children to play?" Bill Gates said coldly, "I don't want you to be half apart from us either. You only need to pay 10 billion for this $25 billion, and we are responsible for the remaining 15 billion!"

"Mr. Bill Gates, we Nintendo really can't afford so much money!" Iwada Satoshi said quickly.

"Don't lie to me here. Daqian gave you a billion dollars in redeem money back then, and later there was money to sell Zelda. In addition, you have entered the Steam Game Store in the past two years and developed a lot of games. The revenue has increased greatly. How could it be that 10 billion cannot be paid out!" Bill Gates was talking lies with his eyes open. Of course, he knew that at this time, Nintendo would not be able to take out even $5 billion or $3 billion. After all, a lot of Nintendo's money has been spent into the bottomless pit of console development.

"We only have $2 billion at most, which is all the activity funds for our Nintendo!" Iwata Satoshi said helplessly.

"If this is the case, the remaining $23 billion can be loaned by Microsoft, but $3 billion of it will be used to increase capital and enter the box game to obtain 30% of the shares."

"30% of the shares!" Iwada Satoshi said in shock. If this 30% is given to Microsoft, then they will only have 21% left, and the company's control will fall into Microsoft's hands.

"When the company was established, $1 billion received 49% of the shares, and now $3 billion is only 30%, which is a huge concession!" Bill Gates said very firmly. "I only have two choices. Either Nintendo will take out $10 billion to build a company, or have received a capital increase of $3 billion or 30% of the shares."

"Otherwise, don't talk about this matter anymore. If the company continues to operate normally, there is a great chance of defeating Daqian!" said Bill Gates.

"There is still a chance there... When Daqian reacts, we will have no chance..." Iwada Satoshi sighed helplessly, but he also understood that it would be absolutely impossible to ask Microsoft to take out more than 20 billion US dollars to take risks without enough temptation.

Thinking of the opportunity to defeat Daqian, Iwada Satoshi made a decision.

"Okay, but I have a requirement that the company's control must be controlled by Nintendo!" said Satoshi Iwata.

"No problem, we didn't know what to do in business games. This is a consensus we have reached long ago!" Bill Gates agreed very readily, and this cooperation was even reached.

Steam game store!
