Chapter 137 Empire Games Acquires Space Invaders

Chapter 137 Empire Games acquires Space Invaders and game designer Tomohiro Nishikado in a package!!

Suspicion about a person often starts with a very small thing.

Mikhail Kogan has lived in Japan for so many years, and he knows the nature of Japanese people too well. If Tomohiro Nishikado is fine, then it is his problem.

"You go back first."

Mikhail Kogan asked Tomohiro Nishikado to leave first.

. . .

In the next few days.

Mikhail Kogan has been asking Akio Nakanishi to investigate the internal commercial espionage of Taito Co., Ltd., but Akio Nakanishi has not been able to find any problems, and he does not know how the Space Invaders they secretly developed was spread, and how it was known by the Empire Group in Hong Kong?

However, Xu Qingsheng basically went to Tomohiro Nishikado's apartment to visit Tomohiro Nishikado every day.

As time went on.

Even Akio Nakanishi suspected that there must be something wrong with the Empire Group and Tomohiro Nishikado.

Although Akio Nakanishi could not find any evidence from the beginning to the end, Xu Qingsheng had always visited Tomohiro Nishikado.

Moreover, he always left after a long time.

Mikhail Kogan attached great importance to this game. Now that it was leaked in advance and the Empire Group was willing to acquire it, Mikhail Kogan planned to sell this game that had not yet been launched.

What he was most concerned about was the problem of internal commercial espionage.

That night.

The office of the president of Taito Co., Ltd.

Mikhail Kogan, Akio Nakanishi, and Masato Matsushita were in the office.

"I plan to sell the "Space Invaders" that has not yet been launched to the Empire Group."

Akio Nakanishi and Masato Matsushita did not know what would happen to this game after it was launched. Since the boss made such a decision, they did not object.

After all, this was much better than the boss selling Taito Co., Ltd. to the Empire Group.

"Boss, don't you want to ask Tomohiro Nishikaku for his opinion?"

"Him? Oh, I'm afraid he has already hooked up with Empire Group."

Mikhail Kogan said angrily.

He used to think highly of Tomohiro Nishikaku, a hard worker. Now that there is a spy incident, he suspects that it is related to Tomohiro Nishikaku.

In this case, he wants to fire all the people in Tomohiro Nishikaku's studio.

What is the most in Japan?

Of course, people.

There are many talents in the Japanese game industry now. Even if those people are fired, Taidong Co., Ltd. can quickly recruit a group of people back with its status in the Japanese game industry.

What's more, Taidong Co., Ltd. mainly represents games from the United States.

Games developed by itself are just part of Taidong Company.

"I plan to let you negotiate the purchase price with Empire Group."

"Yes, boss."

If there was no corporate espionage case, Mikhail Kogan might not sell this game.

Because it involves commercial espionage, it is uncertain how the market will perform after the game is launched. If the purchase price offered by the Empire Group is good, he can directly make a move.

Nakanishi Akio and Matsushita Masato, on behalf of Taidong and Mikhail Kogan, negotiated the purchase price with Xu Qingsheng and Barlow of the Empire Group.

This game.

Before coming, Yang Ming offered a purchase price of between 5 million and 8 million US dollars.

Converted to Japanese yen, it is between 1 billion and 1.6 billion yen.

According to the current value, a game that has not yet been launched can be sold for 1 billion yen, which is of course not a small amount.

At the beginning, Xu Qingsheng lowered the price to 1 million US dollars.

Nakanishi Akio and Matsushita Masato disagreed.

The two sides have been talking.

It took nearly a week.

The two sides negotiated the price to 4.5 million US dollars, which is about 900 million yen.

This is also a good purchase price.

In the end, Nakanishi Akio and Matsushita Masato asked the boss Mikhail Kogan.

Mikhail Kogan hoped that the purchase price offered by Empire Group would be higher. Moreover, Mikhail Kogan could be sold to Empire Group together with the game developers of "Space Invaders".

At first, Xu Qingsheng and Barlow were a little surprised. They did not expect that Taito would even sell the game developers.

"Does it include Tomohiro Nishikado?" Xu Qingsheng asked.

"Including."

When they learned that Tomohiro Nishikado was included, Xu Qingsheng and Barlow looked at each other and were very satisfied.

The two immediately raised the purchase price to 6 million US dollars.

It was calculated to be 1.2 billion yen.

In the end, the two parties agreed to acquire "Space Invaders" and related game developers of Taito Co., Ltd., which had not yet been listed, at this purchase price.

When Xu Qingsheng signed this acquisition agreement on behalf of Empire Games and Akio Nakanishi of Taito Co., Ltd., Xu Qingsheng and Barlow breathed a sigh of relief.

This game was developed by Nishikado Tomohiro himself, but he didn't know that he and this game were sold to Empire Group by Taidong.

When Nishikado Tomohiro learned the news from Xu Qingsheng.

At first, he didn't believe it was true.

"Space Invaders" was his hard work.

He was an old employee of Taidong, but now he was sold by the boss of Taidong.

"Mr. Xijiao, with your conditions, it will be more beneficial for you to go to Hong Kong with me. This time, Mr. Kogan suspected that there was a commercial spy inside Taidong, and you and the staff of your game studio are all the objects of his suspicion."

"How could he do that to me?" Xijiao Youhong was very angry.

He was also very disappointed with his boss Mikhail Kogan.

He originally wanted to go to Mikhail Kogan in person to ask clearly, but in the end, he gave up.

When Taidong Co., Ltd. and the Empire Group signed the acquisition agreement, it meant that this game, even the R&D personnel, no longer belonged to Taidong.

Of course, these R&D personnel can refuse to leave Tokyo, continue to stay in Tokyo, and join other game companies.

The problem is that in their current situation, it is impossible for them to continue to stay in Taidong.

. . .

Xu Qingsheng and Barro brought their team members to Dongyang for more than half a month.

Although they failed to successfully acquire Taito Co., Ltd., they acquired the hit game "Space Invaders", along with the R&D personnel and even Tomohiro Nishikaku. This was indeed a pleasant surprise for Yang Ming.

While Xu Qingsheng continued to stay in Dongyang to recruit people for Empire Games, Barro took the relevant game talents he had recruited from Dongyang and left Dongyang by plane to Hong Kong.

Now in the chairman's office of Empire Group, Barro reported to Yang Ming in detail about his experience in Dongyang.

"Barro, although you and Xu Qingsheng went to Dongyang this time, although you failed to successfully acquire Taito Co., Ltd., you were able to acquire "Space Invaders" and recruit game talents such as Tomohiro Nishikaku, which is considered a great contribution to Empire Games."
