After Guo Taiming also had the intention to cooperate, facing the table full of delicious dishes, both of them lost interest. First release, dear

The negotiation process is fierce, and it is also about concessions and compromises. Although it is just a narration and not a formal contract, neither of them wants to be weaker. Moreover, the conditions for the two to reach a conclusion are basically the provisions of the company's legal affairs contracts to each other later.

In Guo Taiming's opinion, he can indeed make certain concessions in terms of dividends, but Jester's corresponding investment must also impress him.

Therefore, he bluntly reduced the scale of the electronics industrial park that Jester had previously boasted about investing in Shangshanghai by half - he just took down the land, and now he has just completed the first phase of the project. According to this investment, it can only be regarded as an investment of more than 10 million US dollars.

Jester had no objection to this. He originally enclosed land in Shanghai, but it was not really intended to build such a large industrial park. If Pudong had not been included in the development plan yet, it would be too difficult to achieve five-way and seven-level levels, then Jester would definitely be directly encircled along the banks of the Huangpu River.

However, the current location is also good, and it will be included in the Shanghai center in the future.

So, facing Guo Taiming's statement, Jester simply replied: "Since Mr. Guo is not satisfied with my previous investment quotation, then follow what you said. However, since you said, the ownership of the land is mine, but I can rent it for a long time, and my investment accounting will be completed until the first phase of the project. There are specific reports. I can't remember the numbers, but I can use the investment amount in the report as if it is not a problem?"

For Guo Taiming, it is naturally fine. After all, Jester's early construction has reduced him by almost a year, because he can formally negotiate cooperation with the mainland, and it will be the end of this year. If he can really cooperate with Jester, he can directly use his identity as a Hong Kong company. There is no need to wait for Taiwan's policies.

However, when he heard the quantity of the dreambox orders that Jester was going to place, Guo Taiming was almost frightened. He even asked repeatedly if his ears were wrong or if Jester was wrong.

"Four million units in four years!"

This is a number that Guo Taiming thinks is too joking. He even thinks that this is Jester's once again bullying him without IQ, because in his understanding, it is very good that the current electronic game market can restore to the Atari period. Atari's 2,600 has been sold for so many years. It has been popular in Europe and the United States, but it has sold less than 20 million units. This time Jester directly said that it would cost 40 million units in four years, which is unreasonable in his opinion.

Faced with Guo Taiming's shock, Jester was not in a hurry. He calmly drank a sip of tea before saying.

"Mr. Guo, I will definitely do it when I say it, and I think it would be a bit contempt for you to see an emerging industry with an old eye. Atari was great, but they were dead. If the practitioners of video games just wanted to restore this industry to the Atari era, then this dream would be a bit too trivial."

Jester said it sincerely, but this kind of verbal trick still couldn't convince Guo Taiming. He thought that the price offered by Jester was not enough, and that the order of 40 million units such as water-blowing units could not impress him, so he shook his head, with a look of suspicion in his eyes.

Jester had no choice but to do this, although 40 million units were not a small number for him, who was familiar with the scale of future video games, and even Nintendo had never expected his fes to reach or approach 40 million.

The lifeline of his dreambox host set by Jester for himself is four years. The development plan he determined in the company is also carried out in four years as a timeline. In the later game industry that Jester knew, the golden lifeline of a game console was only about four to five years. Even a well-recognized host with high vitality, such as Fes, was seized into a large number of markets when Sega's sixteen-bit computer was released in the United States in 1989.

40 million units are a number that Jester comprehensively considered based on the specific data left by Fes. During the training period of the electronic game industry, this number is not conservative, but it must not be considered exaggerated.

Moreover, in the battle between himself and Nintendo, Sega is more embarrassing than his original position in history. After all, their opponent was only Nintendo at that time. In this case, if Shirooshi Nakayama wanted to continue to go further and further on the road of home game consoles, it would be inevitable to start the development of the sixteen-bit computer in advance.

In Jester's memory, Sega MD was officially released in Japan for 88 years, and the US version was released in the year. Therefore, if you don't want to deal with the 16-bit computer like Nintendo and lose almost half of the US market in a short period of time, you naturally have to prepare early.

"That's it." Facing Guo Taiming's puzzled expression, Jester could only continue to make his own guarantee, "The order of 40 million units in these four years can be counted as my investment amount. If I can't guarantee the average number of 10 million units per year, then the corresponding shares I own will automatically give up. What do you think about this?"

After hearing Jester's promise, Guo Taiming was silent for a while before nodding: "Then let's start talking about specific investments and shares."

Jester has no objection to this.

Because Guo Taiming still had a plane at night, and this was just an intentional negotiation, the specific content negotiation also depends on the legal team of both parties. Therefore, although the two people's discussions may have some quarrels, they can be temporarily shelved when encountering major conflicts.

Therefore, at around six o'clock, the general intention to cooperate was almost done.

Both of them did not bring their assistants when they came, so some of the contents they talked about were recorded by Guo Taiming himself, and then signed his name after Jester was recorded without meaning. Of course, this is not a formal contract and has no legal effect. It is just something similar to a memorandum.

In the end, although there were still some small aspects that were not agreed upon, both sides also made the biggest concessions that they could think of in the big direction.

Jester invested stakes with his first phase of the electronics industrial park in Shanghu and his fifteen-year use rights, plus orders of 40 million Dreamboxes in four years, and a considerable amount of funds invested in Guo Taiming's Hon Hai Group, accounting for 40% of the total shares, while Guo Taiming and his wife accounted for 60% of the total shares of Hon Hai Group. Of course, although the controlling stake is still on Guo Taiming's side, Jester will become the largest individual shareholder of Hon Hai Group.

However, Jester also made it clear at the same time that the 40% shares he owned only 20% of the voting rights, and the remaining 20% ​​of the voting rights automatically belonged to Guo Taiming, which lasted twenty years. Of course, Jester made such concessions, and the dividend rights for the profits of all the companies he owned became 50%, rather than the 40% corresponding to his 40% shares.

As for the specific cash investment, Jester and Guo Taiming did not agree. In Jester's eyes, he would only pay 40 million to 50 million US dollars at most, because including his other investment amounts, it is almost 100 million US dollars, while Guo Taiming asked Jester to pay at least 70 million US dollars. Although the difference between them was 30 million US dollars, this was not a fundamental contradiction and could be further negotiated later.

In the eyes of both parties, this specific amount of cash only shows that the two have differences in the cooperation they are preparing to carry out, but the differences are not large and can also be resolved through specific negotiations. Moreover, for both, this is not a number that cannot be concessions to each other.

After seeing Guo Taiming away, what Jester had to do in Japan was basically completed. After checking the itinerary, the remaining two days were left. Although Jester was also very interested in finding a few attractions in Japan, the constant trivial matters still made him give up this idea for the time being and could only choose a special time to travel in the future.

After the marketing department of Mars Entertainment was handed over, Yuhi Yoshiro basically got free. Although Jaster had decided to formally form a Japanese game research and development team, he took all the elite recruited to the United States this time. Yuhi Yoshiro didn't say anything on the surface, but he still complained about him deep in his heart.

After all, in this way, he became a commander-in-law. Although he still had the title of President of the Mars Entertainment Japanese Branch on his name, he really couldn't find any specific things to do.

Jester could only express some helplessness in this regard. After all, there were too few capable talents recruited through recruitment. Unlike the United States, which was basically dead in the game industry with the reputation of "American Cubes", when he raised his arms, many elites who had been engaged in game development traveled thousands of miles to like each other.

Just like before, Jester asked the current R&D employees in the company, especially game planning, to plan a new game, but the game planning written by these planners was not attractive at all in Jester's eyes, let alone do these planning games. In the absence of any way, Jester could only allow the artists in the company to temporarily participate in the illustration design of the Japanese expansion package in the "World Storm" card. Others also temporarily did some outsourcing work sent from the US headquarters. When the Japanese R&D personnel he recruited returned to Japan, these elites were used as core skeletons, and then officially started the game development of the Japanese branch.

However, the time does not take too long. According to Jester's estimate, the maximum time will not exceed half a year. If it is fast, four or five months will be enough.

After dealing with the matter in Japan, Jester is also preparing to return to the United States to officially start the research and development of "Flame Emblem". (To be continued. (.))
