"As long as Sony VCD players are willing to give up their Guangying Supermarket plan and sell all the company's copyrights to Daqian Guangying Supermarket, then I can let Daqian Guangying Supermarket to be compatible with Sony VCD players and VIP members! But the membership fees will still belong to Sony, and Daqian will not interfere! "Boss Jia laughed.
"… …" After hearing what Boss Jia said, Nobuo Idei was stunned for a while and went into deep thought.
Because Boss Jia's words seemed to be a little too attractive.
Daqian Guangying Supermarket will accept all Sony's VIP members for free. That means Sony does not need to bear any operating costs. All they need to do is to collect the membership fees from the VIP members every month. This sounded very profitable!
Most of the people who heard this would feel that they had earned a lot and would agree on the spot.
But Nobuo Idei shook his head. These words might be able to fool some idiots or short-sighted people, but it would not fool Nobuo Idei.
"Jia Jun is indeed smart. This is a proposal that is hard to reject. But you and I are both smart people. We can see clearly that the profits from the VCD players are not that much. The real money-maker is Guangying Supermarket!"
"4,000 RMB VIP membership fees is not enough to cover the expenses of a normal family. The monthly expenses of these families in Guangying Supermarket will be more than a few thousand Yen!"
"That's not all. Whoever controls Guangying Supermarket will be able to control the entire VCD content market. This way, all content producers will be under the control of whoever controls them. If they want to make money, they will have to submit to whoever controls them. It's just like those third parties under Nintendo. No matter how harsh Nintendo's conditions are, those third parties will lick Nintendo's toes like dogs. This is because Nintendo has complete control over the console market!" Nobuo Idei laughed: "I'm sorry, Jia Jun. I cannot agree to your proposal!"
"How about this? Let's change the way we reconcile. It will be the same as what you said just now. You will sell your Guangying Supermarket to Sony, and Sony will accept all the Daqian VCD players' members. You all can just sit there and collect the money. How about that?" Nobuyuki Idei sneered as he spoke. He was looking forward to seeing Jia Yapeng's angry expression.
"Sure!" To his surprise, Boss Jia smiled and said, "No problem. As long as the price is right, I'll agree!"
"What price?" Nobuyuki Idei frowned. Is the Daqian really willing to sell Guangying Supermarket?
This was not impossible. Everyone in the world knew that Daqian had borrowed 10 billion RMB from Hua Xia to produce VCD players. Therefore, Daqian's cash flow must be very tight.
Maybe Daqian was afraid of competing with Sony, and that's why they wanted to leave the market safely. If Feng Yu was willing to pay a high price to acquire Guangying Supermarket, then Daqian will leave the VCD market, and Sony will not have any competitors.
Thinking of this, Idei really wanted to make a deal to buy the Daqian Guangying Supermarket.
"We, Guangying Supermarket, had signed contracts with 8,782 content producers for a total of 1197,621 works. Let's do it this way. Every work will be priced at 100,000 Yen, and 1197,621 works will be worth 119 billion Yen. "
"Never mind. Round it up. The total is 100 billion Yen. What do you think of this price?" Boss Jia laughed and said.
"Are you crazy? Who will be willing to buy this price?!" Nobuyuki Idei felt that Boss Jia was crazy.
"Really? That's a pity! "Boss Jia shrugged his shoulders. Actually, he still had something to say.
If Nobuyuki Idei really agreed to buy the copyrights for 100 billion Yen, then Boss Jia would immediately take out the copyrights of the more than 100,000 movies and TV series that Daqian had bought. The total value of these copyrights would be more than 1 trillion Yen.
In short, Boss Jia was only teasing Nobuyuki Idei. He had never intended to sell the Daqian Guangying Supermarket to Sony.
But Feng Yu did not expect Nobuyuki Idei's foresight to be so bad. He could not even get past 100 billion Yen.
After all, Sony's annual profits were about 60 to 70 billion Yen. They only need two years of profits to buy the Daqian Guangying Supermarket. If Jia Yapeng was Nobuyuki Idei, Jia Yapeng would have bought it.
Thinking of this, Boss Jia shook his head. Nobuyuki Idei's foresight was too bad!
Years later, Nobuyuki Idei would think of what happened today and regret. If he knew this would happen, he would have bought it. 100 billion Yen was not a lot.
Of course, this is a story for the future. At this time, Nobuyuki Ide was still full of confidence. In his view, Jia Yapeng took the initiative to propose the idea of a deal, which means that his capital chain has a serious problem and he wants to cash out.
"If that's the case, then I'll beat your Guangying Supermarket to death!" Nobuyuki Idei clenched his fist. Seems like there will be a fierce battle between Sony and Daqian in the future.
"Since the negotiations are not successful, then I will not say anything. I will just watch Sony's press conference!" Boss Jia laughed.
"Oh, Mr. Jia, are you really here for the press conference?" Nobuyuki Idei asked with a smile.
"Of course. Don't forget that Daqian is the world's leading video game manufacturer. Among the top 10 video game consoles in the world, three of them are Daqian games. Also, among the PC games, the number one video game is also ours! "
"Daqian is now a big video game manufacturer. Hahahaha!" Boss Jia could not help but laugh. Nobuyuki Idei's eyes were filled with jealousy.
In fact, Daqian was no longer the same in the video game industry.
Originally, Daqian had only one popular video game, "Pokemon". That was why Nobuyuki Idei could still comfort himself by saying that Daqian was only lucky to have found Tomoaki Tajiri and bought "Pokemon". Daqian's video game industry was nothing.
But with the establishment of Fusang's Daqian Entertainment, Daqian released more than a dozen video game consoles. To the video game professionals working for Nobuyuki Idei, these video game consoles were not as good as "Pokemon".
However, these games were all adapted from some of the famous IPs under Da Qian's command. Among them, the most famous were the two IPs, Sword and Saber Dominion and Yu-Gi-Oh.
After these two IP's were adapted into video games, due to the large number of fans and the stable quality of the production, these two games became popular all over the country.
"Sword and Saber Divine Realm" sold 2 million copies within a month. Up until now, 5 million copies had been sold.
"Yu-Gi-Oh." Yu-Gi-Oh was even scarier. Yu-Gi-Oh was released at the same time, so the combined sales of the two versions reached an astonishing 8 million copies. This was a sales volume that could shock anyone.
In the end, Yu-Gi-Oh ranked seventh in terms of total sales, while Sword and Saber ranked tenth in terms of total sales. Both of Da Qian's games had entered the top ten of the console game sales charts.
That wasn't all. More than a dozen other video game consoles, including "Tomb Raider", "Legend of the Sword and Fairy", and "Realm of Emptiness", all achieved excellent sales figures. Their total sales were above 1 million. These games alone earned Daqian more than 300 million USD in profit.
Other than that, there was also the PC game "Warcraft: Humans and Orcs". It had become a god and was known as the world's best real-time strategy game. Its sales had reached the top of the PC game charts. It had sold more than 9 million copies, which was a miracle among miracles.
Logically speaking, Daqian was already considered the top company in the video game industry. If these games could be sold on PS, Nobuyuki Idei would be laughing his head off.
