Chapter 223 Pokemon that sold 2 million
"This negotiation is progressing a bit fast!" Jia Yapeng was a little surprised when he heard Tajiri Satoshi ask him directly how much he planned to spend to buy the company. He thought he wanted to get in touch with Tajiri Satoshi and praise Tajiri Satoshi's abilities before things got better.
When I got to the top of the purchasing company, I didn't expect that Tajiri Satoshi would ask directly.
Jia Yapeng didn't know that he came at the right time, and now Tajiri Satoshi could hardly hold on anymore.
Satoshi Tajiri started his career by making game guides.
Yes, you read that right. Because of the underdevelopment of the Internet, it was difficult for players to learn from other people's strategies for a difficult game. They could only study with nearby friends. Therefore, many games were always stuck.
Like now, just go online and search for a strategy video.
Satoshi Tajiri himself is a game master and is very good at clearing various difficult games. Later, he found that his friends around him were asking for game strategies, so Tajiri Satoshi made the tips of the two most difficult games at the time into texts.
Strategy.
At the beginning, only 20 copies were printed, which was the most superficial kind. However, in the blink of an eye, they were all snatched up by nearby friends. So Tajiri Satoshi printed tens of thousands of game guides, and all of them were sold out.
, allowing Tajiri Satoshi to make a lot of money at a young age.
Later, Tajiri Satoshi originally planned to show off his skills in the game guide industry, and maybe become a famous magazine editor in the future. But because the game guides made by Tajiri Satoshi were so good, there were even many secrets that only game planners knew.
and easter eggs, so a game company publicly scolded Satoshi Tajiri without conducting any investigation, saying that he stole the game company's leaked information to create a strategy magazine.
At that time, the prestige of the game company was still very high, so Tajiri Satoshi, who was very satisfied, smug and ready to do something big, was called a liar. From then on, Tajiri Satoshi deeply hated that damn company.
game company.
By the way, this game company is a third-party game company under Sega. So when Sega contacted Tajiri Satoshi and wanted to make Pokemon available on Sega's game consoles, Tajiri Satoshi didn't show any shame.
He refused and even stepped on her hard. It was a perfect slap in the face for the protagonist.
Probably because he was insulted by the game company, Tajiri Satoshi thought that he would also set up a game company, and Tajiri Satoshi happened to be the president of a game company in his childhood, surrounded by a group of college friends, so Game Freak,
This name, formerly the name of Tajiri Satoshi's club during his college days, became the company that would develop the famous Pokemon in the future.
It is worth mentioning that it is now the hometown of countless people on the moon, which has made countless players heartbroken. King Arthur holds the sword of sacredness and contract high, and there are endless Holy Grail Wars. The creator of the moon world: type-
moon.
The predecessor of this company was also a university animation and game fan club, which later evolved into a famous and profitable Xingyue World.
Therefore, never underestimate your own interests, and never doubt your own interests, because all the miracles in the world are born because of someone's interest.
So if you feel miserable because of the conflict between your interests and reality, please accept the reality and hold on to your interests tightly. Maybe you will be the next person to change the world.

Closer to home, after Tajiri Satoshi's game company opened, he had a very good relationship with a certain Nintendo executive because of his contacts in the game guide industry. In addition, Tajiri Satoshi was indeed a very good game producer, so his company produced
The first game was quickly released on Nintendo.
But it turns out that genius always has to go through a lot of training. This game died suddenly, and the sales volume cannot be found yet. It is estimated that it is only a few thousand cassettes. From then on, Tajiri Satoshi's company fell into decline.
Although Tajiri Satoshi currently has seven or eight employees in the company, one of them is actually his mother, another is his father, and one is his next door neighbor. Tajiri Satoshi temporarily brought him over to support the company. At this time
There are only four staff members who are actually still working, and Tajiri Satoshi's company is basically at the end of its rope.
Historically, Satoshi Tajiri later found Nintendo again with his idea of Capsule Yokai, almost kneeling on the ground asking for help, and Nintendo finally allocated a sum of funds to Satoshi Tajiri to continue developing the Capsule Yokai game.
However, this loan was obtained by pledging the company's equity.
It was precisely because of this equity pledge that Tajiri Satoshi's company was poached by Nintendo in various ways. In the end, the equity was completely in the hands of Nintendo. Tajiri Satoshi himself even had to retire from the position of chairman due to mental illness.
The entire company was completely handed over to Nintendo.
Continuing to get back to the topic, Tajiri Satoshi, who has lost all his money now, actually wants someone to acquire his company right away, which is why Tajiri Satoshi is so eager.
"Okay!" Although Jia Yapeng didn't know the reason, he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and he came at the right time.
"I don't know, Tajiri-kun, how much do you want to sell it for?" Tajiri asked Jia Yapeng, but Tajiri asked him back to Jia Yapeng.
"100 million yen!" Tomo Tajiri really dared to speak loudly. When he opened his mouth, it was 100 million yen, which is equivalent to a price of 4 million yuan.
You know, the current Game Frea has no performance except for releasing a loss-making game. Although there are still several games under research, these games are worthless before they are officially launched.
Tajiri Satoshi is equivalent to shouting out the price of a bastard.
"This price is too high!" Jia Yapeng shook his head, but he was smiling in his heart.
4 million yuan can buy the future Pokemon. Jia Yapeng can immediately throw the money in Tajiri Satoshi's face and buy the entire company.
However, Jia Yapeng knew that he had to keep his composure, otherwise he would be too impatient and Tajiri would see the problem. After all, he was just a boss who wanted to go public through a backdoor.
"10 million yen, no more!" Jia Yapeng directly cut the price to 1/10.
"No, I have already invested 15 million yen in this company!" Tajiri Satoshi was a little anxious.
"But Tajiri-kun, your company does not have 15 million yen in its books, and your company's products do not have products worth 15 million yen!" Jia Yapeng chuckled, "Tajiri-kun, I actually want to borrow your company.
I’m just here to sell games, but I don’t think about the fact that before the game is sold, it will cost 100 million yen. I don’t know if my game can sell for 10 million yen!”
"Then 50 million yen!" Tajiri Chi cut it in half.
"15 million, the most I can do is not let you lose money!" Jia Yapeng said.
"30 million, if the price is lower than this, I will never accept it!" Tajiri Satoshi said with a gloomy face.
"This way..." Jia Yapeng seemed a little hesitant, while Tajiri looked at Jia Yapeng nervously, fearing that Jia Yapeng would continue to refuse, so should he really invite Jia Yapeng back?
Tajiri Satoshi's worry did not last too long. He heard Jia Yapeng say, "Tajiri-kun, it's been nearly two years since the first game was released. You shouldn't have any achievements. Has the company researched anything?"
New games are coming out, if there are any, let me take a look, these games may be worth some money!"
"Okay!" Tajiri Chi quickly pulled out a stack of documents from his desk and carefully placed them in front of Jia Yapeng.

Yoshi and the Egg

ノンタンといっし

Looking at the names one after another on these documents, Jia Yapeng couldn't help but shake his head, why is there not that key name? It shouldn't be, the vertical paintings of Yu Sanjia are all hanging on the wall!
Finally, Jia Yapeng saw the name pocket monster on the last folder, and then breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, Tajiri Satoshi had already started developing Pokemon.
"How are the progress of these games?" Jia Yapeng asked casually.
"Some games have been developed, and some are more than half way through!" Tajiri really wanted to sell the company, so he began to work hard to introduce the status of these games to Jia Yapeng.
Jia Yapeng pretended to listen very carefully, but in fact it was just acting. But when it came to the last game, Tomo Tajiri was mute.
"How is this game?" Jia Yapeng asked curiously.
“Nintendo’s President Uchiyama said this is a worthless game!” Satoshi Tajiri smiled bitterly and said, “I took the idea of this game to Nintendo to apply for financial support two months ago, but President Uchiyama only read it.
At one glance, he called this game garbage and threw it on the ground. This is probably really garbage!"
"No, I think this is a very valuable game!" Jia Yapeng smiled slightly, "For 50 million yen, I bought your company."
"Fifty million!" Tajiri Satoshi was stunned for a moment. He had just quoted 30 million, so why did it go up by 20 million in the end?
"This 20 million is for you!" Jia Yapeng smiled slightly. "From now on until 2000, you are not allowed to leave the company. At the same time, you will continue to be the president of the company and be responsible for the development of this game!"
Jia Yapeng's finger tapped hard on the English word "pocket monster".
