Chapter 182: Find a Godfather. Second Update

The current president of Sega is already in his fifties.

Sega used to be a company that was half American.

At that time, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy. He and another American took over the company, and then gradually brought the company back to life. Up to now, the company has occupied a certain position in the arcade and home machine business.

It is no exaggeration to say that this company is like his child.

He has never taken his children so seriously.

And now a man suddenly talks about getting a part of his child.

...No, this description may be a bit exaggerated.

But actually the meaning is pretty much the same.

The president seemed to be struggling internally.

While everyone in the conference room was arguing fiercely for their own interests, he did not speak.

However, it could be seen from his gloomy face that Zuo Zhen's request was somewhat unacceptable to him.

Gao Cunxiong didn't dare to speak at this time.

Speaking at this time is tantamount to turning the blame on yourself.

It's better to wait obediently for these people to finish the discussion and calm down a little before talking.

These people argued for a long time, but in the end they didn't come up with any results.

They just felt that Zuo Zhen's request was indeed outrageous.

So they don't want to accept this result no matter what.

The president was silent for a long time, until everyone present also stopped. When Komura was about to speak, he spoke in advance.

"Gao Cun, this young man from China's demands are indeed outrageous, but if he is really capable of turning the tide, this condition is not unacceptable."

Karma?

Everyone looked at their president.

Some people were in disbelief, while others looked thoughtful.

What does the president mean by this? Have you already decided to agree to Zuo Zhen's request?

"President, what do you mean..."

Gao Cunxiong seemed to vaguely hear something.

"Sometimes, you just need to be decisive and courageous, but he has to ensure that he can do what he promises."

Komura's eyes widened slightly.

The president seems to be agreeing?

"Ask, this young Chinese man is willing to sign a gambling agreement with us. The general content of the agreement is to promise to launch at least five games on the Sega platform, and to use these five games to obtain a large enough market. If we can If it is achieved, his requirements are not unsatisfactory, but if it cannot be completed..."

The president changed the topic and his voice gradually became cold and serious: "Then he will not get any reward. Forget about the sales share of Sega game consoles. Even the games he launches cannot get 80% of the share. It needs to be changed to 50-50.”

Komura Xiong opened his mouth.

This result... doesn't seem that bad.

At least it's a lot better than initially thought.

His president agreed to Zuo Zhen's request.

This... was really beyond his expectation.

He knew how much the president cherished the company Sega, and even treated it like his own child.

Now he actually agreed.

"Sega is now on the road to making a decision. Sometimes we need some courage to take a gamble. Even if we fail, our loss is not very big."

The president of Sega expressed his thoughts at this time.

The quality of the games Zuo Zhen has made is obvious to all.

If it succeeds, what does it mean to give Zuo Zhen a share? He is a hero.

And in this way, this excellent developer can be more deeply bound to himself.

It's like... it's like my Sega child has recognized a godfather?

But that's all.

"Gao Cun, you can tell the Chinese man this news, and also tell him another thing."

"What?"

"His request is no more than this. He cannot ask for more. He can only get a share and cannot influence the company's decision."

Gao Cunxiong suddenly understood and nodded immediately: "I understand, I will tell Zuo Zhen-san the news."

The president has made his attitude clear.

Zuozhen can get more money, and Sega can praise Zuozhen more in the future.

But that’s it at most.

If Zuo Zhen wants to get involved in Sega's company development, that's just a fool's errand.

Don’t let an outsider dictate their company.

You are, after all, just a game developer.

Make the money you should make and don't worry about things you shouldn't.

This is the biggest concession Sega has ever made.

This is also the best result the president can think of.

The president has actually thought about whether Zuo Zhen would really consider directly intervening in Sega's management, and even annexing Sega in the future.

This is not what he wants to see.

He doesn't want his godfather to become his real father.

In the end, the president made the decision and agreed to Zuo Zhen's request.

However, Sega also had its own conditions and could not unconditionally agree to Zuozhen's needs.

"The gambling agreement...it's not particularly surprising."

Gao Cunxiong, who returned to Japan after the discussion was over, informed Zuozhen of the news that night.

Now long-distance communication has become more convenient.

Although Zuo Zhen cannot directly obtain long-distance communication permissions, a new small telephone switching room has been opened near Zuo Zhen.

Through this Zuozhen, you can contact people in Japan at any time.

Then at the end of the year, we will ensure that a dedicated line is arranged for Zuo Zhen.

For a company that brings in millions of foreign exchange earnings, there is really nothing wrong with the city hall providing this little support.

Even Zuo Zhen's request for more can be considered.

The specific content of the gambling agreement was also detailed in detail after a day's discussion with Sega.

Zuo Zhen wants to commit to launching five games.

They won't care about the level of these five games. Anyway, Sega only cares about the results.

Through five games, players on other game platforms can see the strength of their latest game consoles, and then influence them to come to the Sega platform to play games.

The combined average sales of each of the five games is more than 600,000 yuan, so this gambling agreement is considered complete.

That’s three million sales.

This requirement is really not low.

Sega has only been considered a small platform until now.

No matter how hard you try, you can only go so far.

But Zuo Zhen agreed to this condition.

This is already the best result.

Hearing Zuo Zhen's straightforward reply, Gao Cunxiong felt relieved.

He was also worried that Zuo Zhen would quarrel with him again.

But Zuo Zhen can still accept the terms of this gamble.

If you want to obtain high profits, you must not bear any responsibilities and risks.

The worst result is that the game revenue will be reduced.

It's not a big deal to me, it's not painful or itchy.

"By the way, Zuo Zhen-san, actually we have some other requirements. Our president clearly requires that you cannot interfere in Sega's management through this in the future. Sega... is still our Sega."
