Chapter 247 Unexpected Harvest Sixth Update
The main purpose of coming to Japan this time is actually only one, and that is to relax.
The team also expended a lot of energy in developing the Overlord of the Three Kingdoms, and they always have to combine work and rest to make it more sustainable.
Then, we talked with Sega about the licensing price of the compiler we created.
Although this thing is a compiler that is only used by Motorola processors, it is basically the compiler bundled with the Sega MD.
But whether Sega can be allowed to use such a compiler still requires Zuo Zhen's permission.
Gao Cunxiong specially arranged the best service for Zuo Zhen and others.
In Japan at this moment, it's hard to say anything else, but just in terms of enjoyment and service, it is definitely the best.
The few people who came were directly arranged by Komura to stay in the best sanatorium in Kyoto.
According to Takamura Yu, if Zuozhen's team works so hard, it must be worthy of the top treatment. All expenses will be taken care of by Sega, and there is no need to worry about anything.
There is no shortage of money in Japan now, so spend it as much as you want without feeling bad.
Zuo Zhen is also really rude, because he knows that the Japanese are indeed not short of money now.
To the extent that they are not short of money, they even have to rely on all kinds of deception to recruit a college student. They first deceive the other party to live in a luxury hotel, then serve them with delicious food and drinks, and finally make the student feel comfortable. Only then will the college students be able to Reluctantly considering whether to join this team.
If that doesn't work, then try another one. In short, the one that stands out is a tyrant.
Zuo Zhen had been prepared for this, but he didn't feel too big about it.
On the other hand, several of Zuo Zhen's employees were somewhat flattered.
They were used to the ordinary life, and enjoying high-level treatment in Japan for the first time made them feel a little dazed.
However, in order to prevent these employees from being too distracted, Zuo Zhen only allowed them to recuperate in this place, but they would still have to work when they returned.
This kind of life in Japan can only be experienced occasionally, and it cannot be permanent.
According to Zuo Zhen's memory, it is estimated that Japan only has three or four years left before the bubble bursts. At that time, Japan will truly experience the feeling of falling from heaven to hell.
For Zuo Zhen, the boss, Zuo Zhen and his employees are still very obedient.
After all, Zuo Zhen brought them from nothing to a point where they now have a little capital. It can be said that they have reinvented their parents.
As for Zuo Zhen and Yu Mengchen, Sega gave them even more top-notch treatment.
The luxurious presidential suite starts at 3 million yen per day, and various services are also available.
We strive to make Zuo Zhen, a great person, always have a sense of belonging to Sega.
Then, it comes to negotiating software licensing.
Buying out the rights to use this compiler allows Sega to authorize any company to use this compiler for a price of 200 million yen, which is about two million US dollars.
Cash payment is directly transferred from the business-to-business account to the overseas account of the real game.
This negotiation did not waste too much time, everything was settled quickly, and Zuo Zhen was quite satisfied with the price.
This was two million US dollars in the 1980s, and the purchasing power was still amazing.
However, at this moment, this amount of money can only buy a larger one-family building within the five wards of Tokyo.
Nowadays, real estate speculation is booming all over Japan.
But if this money is brought back to the country, it will be of great use.
"Zuo Zhen-san, you made a very wise choice. This compiler is really important to us."
After the contract was negotiated, Komura Yu sincerely thanked Zuo Zhen.
"It's a mutual benefit, you pay and I take the money, that's it."
Zuo Zhen kept the contract.
And then comes the time for personal relationships.
Gao Cun Xiong received Zuo Zhen that night and took Zuo Zhen to the best restaurant to have dinner, making him feel at home. Then, after having a good meal, Gao Cun Xiong told Zuo Zhen the news he had always wanted to know.
"We have negotiated for you at Square Enix. Their president has agreed to sell his company and several of its IPs to you. The price is just right, it is also 200 million yen. Do you want to buy it now or wait? ?”
"Then let's spend all the money I got from you now."
Unexpectedly, the money was not enough to keep him warm, but okay, the Final Fantasy series is now in his pocket, and then he can officially open up a new role-playing game.
The Juggernaut series itself is well-received, but in fact it has never been very popular, and sales have never had a big breakthrough.
Later people did some research and thought that it was the complex mechanics of this series of games that dissuaded many basic players.
And if Juggernaut reduces the complexity of the game for those basic players, it may lose its original base of hard-core players, so it is so awkward to be stuck here.
So Zuo Zhen also wants to open up a new role-playing IP.
If Final Fantasy can't be obtained, Zuo Zhen will probably create his own new IP.
In fact, I have experience in game development from later generations, so even if it is a unique IP, it will not be a big problem.
After hearing Zuo Zhen's affirmative reply, Komura Yu called Square's current interim president directly at the dinner table and informed him that he could choose a date in the next few days to discuss the acquisition.
If we follow the normal process, it will probably take less than half a year to get it all done.
However, Takamura Yui firmly believes that Sega can fully help Zuo Zhen solve all the early troubles, as long as Zuo Zhen can develop new games with peace of mind.
Developing games is for sure, and the more you develop, the better. Otherwise, how can you gain a foothold in this world?
As for the next game to be developed, Zuo Zhen already has a general idea.
Now that the Final Fantasy series is already in the bag, I might as well try the waters by developing a role-playing game based on the Final Fantasy series.
Developing the second installment of Final Fantasy.
However, all this still has to wait until the acquisition is completely finalized in a few days.
The acquisition of Square Enix was an unexpected surprise for me during my visit to Japan.
At this point, I also have a stable base overseas.
With such a Square branch, game publishing in the future will be more formal than before.
And...I don’t have to worry about being easily led by Sega.
After all, I can't always rely on Sega's team to help me. If the relationship between the two parties is not harmonious, wouldn't I be dumbfounded?
So this acquisition seems to be particularly necessary.
