Jester listened quietly to the conditions of Sega brought by Yu Suzuki.

Overall, Sega's conditions are within his acceptance range, and Sega also learned about Ren Hell's failure to purchase the copyright of the American Cubes home machine, so this time they did not put forward any unreasonable thoughts in this regard.

In fact, Arakawa's thoughts became more and more wrong when he thought about it. The price he offered was high enough and his attitude was good enough. Except for his trump card, he joined the Renhell premium plan, this was almost his highest offer, but the other party seemed to be indifferent to it and refused without even considering it. This was really unreasonable.

Moreover, he finally got the premium plan from his father-in-law to join the Mars Entertainment in Ren Hell, but the other party did not even give him the chance to reveal it.

So, Arakawami, who was unwilling to give up, began to make people collect information about Mars entertainment seriously, and this collection made him suddenly realize.

Especially after he saw that Mars Entertainment had already incorporated the entire R&D team of Atari VCS7200 and recruited dozens of other hardware R&D personnel one after another, he knew what Mars Entertainment was going to do.

After knowing the real situation, Arakawa Min suddenly became furious and thought of the other party's play at him during negotiations. The other party obviously wanted to get information from him that hell had released home game consoles in the United States. But he was stupid and didn't even have any precautions - who would be wary of an unknown company that only made one game with a courage to build home game consoles in the current industry context?

You know, news has always been very fast in the same industry. While he was still aware of Hell, Sega, who was also very coveted by "American Cubes", basically knew it.

It is impossible for Sega to not want the copyright of "American Cube". Their newly released home machine SEGA1000 was defeated in Japan and was defeated step by step. It is almost a typical example of being eliminated as soon as it was born, forcing them to start a new generation of host research and development plans. Almost all of the previous investments were turned into flows. Does Sega want to get "American Cube" to reverse this situation?

No, it's because Sega knew it was impossible.

Ren Hell's quote is already good enough. The quote from Ren Hell is absolutely impossible for Sega to offer, because their platform share is far less than Ren Hell's. Therefore, Sega cannot afford the price that Ren Hell can offer.

But they came still. They did not only value the home version, but also took the agency of the arcade "American Square" in Japan. You should know that before Sega entered the home computer industry, they were a veritable arcade giant, and they produced countless classic arcade games and were best-selling in the world. But now, their arcades are also under the pressure of old rivals such as Namco and Capcom, and the market share has been lost seriously. Especially the company has just obtained the exact information. These two companies will release two very excellent games in the second half of the year, and their own companies do not have enough excellent games to compete with them.

Even the other party did a very good job of this confidentiality facility, only knowing that it is a vertical scroll shooting game, but it has no idea about the gameplay and settings.

President Zhongshan has been furious at high-level meetings several times.

Yu Suzuki knew this deeply, and he would not allow him to fail this time.

"Do you want the Japanese and European arcade agency rights in "American Cubes"?" Jester asked with a smile.

"Yes." Yu Suzuki nodded and admitted.

"So, how to share the money?" Jester did plan to sell his game's arcade agency, because he had just started to do distribution, so it would be difficult to get the North American plate first. As for distributing goods abroad, one is that he does not have the energy, two is that he does not have the ability, three is that he does not even have the production capacity.

Even after he finished producing these three new games, he did not have enough production capacity. He asked Atari before that if he asked them to produce these three games, they would directly ask for a share.

This is absolutely unbearable in Jester's eyes. At the beginning, he was not famous, and Atari took the opportunity to blackmail him. He could not bear it. Now his wings are hard, do you still want to blackmail me?

Faced with Atari's request, Jester sneered in his heart, and I turned down the table.

The Atari family is not the one who can make arcades on a large scale in the world. Isn’t this Sega in front of you?

Obviously, Sega's investigation is also very detailed and he is well aware of the current difficulties Jester's Mars Entertainment is facing.

Yu Suzuki was serious. He took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them to Jester with both hands. Then he said: "We, Sega, are very sincere. We will not only pay 20 million US dollars in advance to purchase the agency rights of your company's American Square in Japan and Europe, but also sell 30% of the net profit as your share. All production and promotional expenses are borne by us."

Before he could look through the document, Jester suddenly looked up at the other party in surprise before he could read the document. It was impossible for him to be shocked. This offer was really good beyond his expectations.

You should know that the entire Japanese and European markets can only be compared with the United States at most. This is just a saying that they are so sluggish. In fact, even if they add up, they are far inferior to the United States.

It is incredible that an arcade machine can sell 20,000 to 30,000 units in Japan, but it can reach 60,000 units in the United States, or even more.

Although Europe is big, the gaming market does not even account for Japan.

"Is it because Sega was in some trouble?" This thought suddenly appeared in Jester's mind, and then the thought continued to expand irresistibly. He began to recall Sega in his mind at this period...

After thinking for a few minutes, Jester kept looking at Yu Suzuki who was sitting there expressionlessly.

He couldn't think of any big crisis for Sega at this time. In his impression, Sega just failed miserably on the SEGA1000 in the field of television games they just entered, but Sega has accepted this, and the development process of MS should have begun long ago. Since this is not the case, is there something wrong with their arcade industry...

The arcade industry at this time...

Thinking of this, Jester's eyes suddenly lit up and he remembered it.

Sega did encounter some trouble at this time, but it was also at this time that Yu Suzuki stood up and joined the Development Department to monopolize Kuanglan, which led to Sega's glory later.

This legendary designer first produced the world's first somatosensory game "Motorcycle Frame" in 1985, and released Japan's first 32,000-color game "Space Harry" in the same year. Players in later generations should have seen it. It is the type of large-scale realistic motorcycle game where players can ride motorcycles. Jester remembers it very clearly. Well, when one dollar is eight coins, this game requires two dollars to be played.

These two games helped Sega regain the market share of arcades. So, since it was regaining... from whose hands did they regain it?

Thinking of this, Jester suddenly showed a strange smile, which scared Yu Suzuki who had been observing him silently. He asked with some clues, "President Li, what's wrong?"

"Haha, nothing, I only heard from Japanese friends recently that your old rival Namco is developing a brand new game. I heard that it is almost completed, and the news I heard is that this game is very shocking, it seems to be called X...Xevious, it is called Xevious, right?" Jester said, with a curious expression on his face.

Xevious is the famous "Iron Plate Array", the originator of the vertical scroll flying shooting game, and a milestone game.

The expression on Yu Suzuki's face remained unchanged, but his heart surged like waves. This was a bit incredible. How could the other party, a person far away in the United States, know that they all had just obtained the information.

Are their intelligence systems in Japan more well-versed than those of our native companies like Sega?

"Oh, by the way, I also heard that Capcom also made a similar game called 1942, and it is about to be released. It is similar to the type of this game, and it is also a vertical scroll flying shooting game." Jester kept saying that another classic game in his memory was released this year, causing a trend of gaming.

This time, Yu Suzuki finally changed color and he looked at Jester incredibly.

He couldn't figure out anyway, how did the other party know the types of these two games they had been trying to find out? The other party even knew the information that Sega hadn't heard? Didn't they have yet to establish a Japanese branch? Their R&D director Mark Seni has recently asked his friends at Sega to do this... but they know much more clearly than themselves, but how is this possible!

Yu Suzuki looked at Jester with shock, and his lips became a little dry: "Li... President Li, is your news true?"

Jester did not admit it positively, he just smiled and said, "Mr. Suzuki, I just heard from my Japanese friends. As for whether it is true or not, I can't guarantee it."

"Arigado!"

Yu Suzuki heard Jester's face and was silent for more than ten seconds. Then suddenly he bent down at Jester at 90 degrees, and said in a very respectful tone, "Thank you President Li for your advice, Sega is very grateful."

"Then the authorized price we discussed..." Jester immediately stood up and stepped forward to help Yu Suzuki up. To be honest, he respected this future ace designer very much. He led Sega against Ren Hell under such a difficult situation, never giving up, and never giving up. Moreover, the classic game he made in 1999 that gathered Chinese myths, martial arts elements, sandbox maps, and a classic game called "Shenmu" was even more popular at that time.

This game was definitely the best in the times in terms of quality, and was no less than any masterpiece. Unfortunately, my birth was not at the right time and my final results were not ideal.

Later, this game, in a voting statistics for "Famitong", surpassed super masterpieces such as FF and DQ, and became the game that players expected to produce sequels.

For this game, this honor is well deserved, and of course it can only be a little comfort.

After all, Sega's glory no longer existed at that time.

Before Jester finished speaking, Yu Suzuki interrupted him with a serious voice: "President Li, you need not say anything, Sega can make further concessions!"

"No, no." Jester also understood that the other party might have misunderstood his meaning, so he immediately explained, "I didn't mean to raise the price. In fact, I am personally very satisfied with the previous offer. We Mars Entertainment has always treated our friends the most sincerely and will never take the opportunity to blackmail."

Jester's tone looked sincere.

Hearing this, a look of surprise flashed in Yu Suzuki's eyes. The other party he had learned before was not such a person. He would take the opportunity to blackmail. The person in front of him, who was younger than him, had never done it.

The four publishers who helped him publish "American Cubes" in the United States can often slander Jester and Mars Entertainment in the industry.

Even Yu Suzuki saw that Jester was a little too much about the requests of the four agents. If it were not forcing him to do so, no agent would be willing to sign such a humiliating alliance.

"We won't talk about the specific price now. So, Mr. Suzuki, are you interested in seeing the latest new games we have developed?" Jester didn't care about the other party's expression. He had a purpose and didn't care about the other party's random thoughts. He just needed to let the other party know that the temporary cooperation between the two parties would benefit both parties.

"New game?"

Thinking of the clever elimination game that he was unconsciously addicted to, Yu Suzuki couldn't help but show a curious look on his face. Although he received the news that Mars Entertainment was developing a new game, he did not get any exact information. He only knew that it was also an elimination game.

Seeing such a confident smile on Jester's face, Yu Suzuki couldn't help but guess that "American Cube" is already perfect. Can the other party still play a game of elimination?

Then, Yusuki nodded and walked towards the R&D hall of Mars Entertainment under the leadership of Jester.
Chapter completed!
