Chapter 137 Empire Games packaged and acquired

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

Suspicion of a person often starts from a very small thing.

Mikhail Kogan has lived in the East for so many years, and he knows the nature of the East people too well. If Tomohiro Nisikado has no problem, then it is his problem.

"You go back first."

Mikhail Kogan asked Tomohiro Nisikado to leave first.

. . .

The next few days.

Mikhail Kogan has been asking Akio Nakanishi to investigate the commercial espionage within Taito Co., Ltd. Akio Nakanishi has been unable to find out the problem, and he does not know how the "Space Invaders" they secretly developed was spread, and what happened? How did the Imperial Group in Xiangjiang find out?

However, Xu Qingsheng visited Tomohiro Nisikado in person at his apartment basically every day.

Over time.

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

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

Moreover, it took a long time to leave each time.

Mikhail Kogan attaches great importance to this game. Now because it was leaked in advance and the Empire Group is willing to acquire it, Mikhail Kogan plans to sell this game that has not yet been launched.

What he is most concerned about is the issue of internal commercial espionage.

This night.

Taito Co., Ltd. President's Office.

Mikhail Kogan, Akio Nakanishi, and Minoru Matsushita are in the office.

"I'm going to sell the "Space Invaders" that's not yet on the market to the Imperial Group."

Akio Nakanishi and Sanato Matsushita don't know what will happen to this game after it is launched. Since the boss has made such a decision, they have no objection.

After all, this is much better than the boss selling Taitung Co., Ltd. to the Imperial Group.

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

"Him? Haha, I'm afraid he has already hooked up with the Imperial Group."

Mikhail Kogan said angrily.

Regarding this model worker, he had always valued Nishiko Tomohiro very much before, but now that the spy incident had occurred, he suspected that it was related to Nishiko Tomohiro.

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

What is the most popular thing in Japan?

Of course it's people.

There are a lot of talents in Toyo games now. Even if those people are fired, Taito Co., Ltd.'s status in the Toyo game industry will soon be able to recruit a group of people back.

What's more, Taitung Co., Ltd. mainly represents games from country M.

Games like those developed by ourselves are just part of Taitung Company.

"I'm going to let you negotiate the purchase price with Imperial Group."

"Yes, boss."

Without the industrial espionage case, Mikhail Kogan might not have sold this game.

Because it involves commercial espionage, it is uncertain how the market will fare after the game is launched. If the acquisition price offered by the Imperial Group is good, he can directly take action.

Akio Nakanishi and Masato Matsushita, representatives of Taitung and Mikhail Kogan, negotiated the purchase price with Xu Qingsheng and Barlow of Imperial Group.

This is a game.

Before coming, the purchase price given by Yang Ming was between US$5 million and US$8 million.

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

Judging from the current value, if a game that has not yet been released can sell for one billion yen, it is certainly a lot.

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

Akio Nakanishi and Sanato Matsushita disagreed.

The two sides have been talking.

It took almost a week.

The two parties negotiated a price of US$4.5 million, which is about 900 million yen.

This is also considered a good purchase price.

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

Mikhail Kogan hopes that the acquisition price offered by Imperial Group will be higher. Moreover, Mikhail Kogan can be packaged and sold to the Imperial Group together with the game developers of "Space Invaders".

At first, Xu Qingsheng and Barlow were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Taidong would even sell out the developers of the game.

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

"include."

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

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

That works out to 1.2 billion yen.

In the end, the two parties agreed to purchase Taito Co., Ltd.'s unlisted "Space Invaders" and related game developers at this purchase price.

When Xu Qingsheng signed the acquisition agreement with Akio Nakanishi of Taito Co., Ltd. on behalf of Imperial Games, both Xu Qingsheng and Barlow breathed a sigh of relief.

This game was developed by Nisikado Tomohiro himself. However, Nisikado Tomohiro himself did not know that both he and this game were sold to the Imperial Group by Taitung.

When Tomohiro Nisikado learned the news from Xu Qingsheng.

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

"Space Invaders" is his brainchild.

He is an old employee of Taidong, and now he has been sold by Taidong's boss.

"Mr. Nishijiao, on your terms, it will be more beneficial for you to go to Xiangjiang with me for development. This time, Mr. Kogan suspects that there is a commercial espionage in Taitung. He is also suspicious of you and the staff of your game studio. object."

"How could he do that to me?" Nisikado Tomohiro was very angry.

The boss Mikhail Kogan is also very disappointed.

Originally, he wanted to go to Mikhail Kogan in person to find out, but in the end, he gave up.

When the acquisition agreement between Taitung Co., Ltd. and the Imperial Group was reached, it meant that this game and even the R\u0026D personnel no longer belonged to Taitung.

Of course, these developers can refuse to leave Tokyo, stay in Tokyo, and join other game companies.

The problem is that with their current situation, they can no longer stay in Taidong.

. . .

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

The acquisition of Taitung Co., Ltd. was not successful, but the acquisition of the hit game "Space Invaders", its research and development staff, and even Tomohiro Nisikado was indeed an unexpected surprise for Yang Ming.

While Xu Qingsheng continued to stay in Dongyang to recruit talents for Empire Games, Barlow left Dongyang with the relevant gaming talents he had dug in Dongyang and flew to Hong Kong.

Now in the office of the chairman of the Imperial Group, Barlow reported to Yang Ming in detail about his trip to Japan.

"Barlow, this time you and Xu Qingsheng went to Tokyo. Although they failed to acquire Taitung Co., Ltd., you were able to acquire "Space Invaders" and poach game talents like Nisikado Tomohiro, which can be regarded as a solid foundation for Imperial Games. great merit."
