Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 275 Bring good games to players

 Chapter 275 Bringing good games to players

“Please allow me to keep this matter secret, but I believe you will be able to guess it in the future.”

In response to Hayakawa Ueto's simple and direct inquiry, Takeyusei just gave a slightly mysterious smile and did not intend to give any answer.

He also has the ambition to achieve data monopoly, so naturally it is impossible to tell the whole story to the other party easily.

 In fact, it is not a big problem to say it, because I am not inferior to the data of Surui Electronics.

 After letting them know, they will at best be more vigilant, produce their own game engines in advance, and then distribute them to their own studios and partners.

 But this does not affect anything. In the previous life, Unreal Engine was still the world's number one game engine, and the others were all engines for their own special purposes by their respective companies, and they were not diversified.

 Unreal Engine can produce anything and covers a wide range. This is the absolute advantage of Unreal Engine. As long as you don't do it to death, there is no possibility of being killed.

Hayakawa Ueto had already expected Takeyusei's answer, so he was not surprised. Then the two parties directly entered into the price negotiation process.

Takeyusei raised three fingers at this time, and then slowly said: "30 billion yen, you can only pay one billion yen in the first year, and you can pay it slowly in the subsequent years, don't rush to pay it all in one go. Payment completed."

Hayakawa Ueto's pupils contracted slightly.

  Even though he was prepared, he was still a little frightened by the price.

 Their current development cost for a game is only about one billion yen, while Takeyusei directly requires 30 billion yen for a piece of software, which is also unacceptable to Hayakawa Ueto.

 But he understands that this is a premium from competitors.

“We need to discuss this price again and hope it can be lowered.”

Zhu Youxing shook his head: "This is non-negotiable. You just said that you are not only using it for game development, but also plan to use it for film and television special effects development. So in order to provide you with continuous after-sales service, This is also a big expense, and this kind of money cannot be saved.”

 “Continuous after-sales service?”

"That's right." Zhu Youxing nodded, "We will provide customized software modification services according to your needs at any time to help you improve your film and television special effects development and game development. This is not a one-time deal, but an ongoing one. A continuous service, in fact, I don’t simply think of it as a piece of software, but more like selling a service.”

Hayakawa Ueto fell into deep thought.

  Zhu Youxing’s words are indeed very novel.

 Similar situations have not happened in many business negotiations before.

 Many of the business negotiations that Hayakawa Ueto faced before had some leeway.

 Of course I have never had the opportunity to negotiate with some industry competitors before.

At most, the other party will go bankrupt, and then you will invest in acquiring the other party. Surui Electronics has always been the one who takes the initiative.

 But now, it is no longer our own side that takes the initiative, but the other side.

The other party has set a price to death, and I don’t seem to have any ability to refuse.

At this time, Zhu Youxing began to be persuasive: "You can imagine that with this engine, you can develop games with multiple studios at the same time. Then the output of games in a year will be more than ten, and the quality of the graphics will be the same." Not bad, this is a good deal, especially since you are not limited to game production, but also film and television special effects, so you will also have certain advantages in film and television special effects."

Hayakawa Ueto feels that Takeyusei is a very good lobbyist.

His words can always hit the heart of others and make them shake themselves.

Even Hayakawa Ueto was equally impressed, and even began to think that such a price of 30 billion yen was still a good deal.

But he still wanted to persist.

Of course, the result is conceivable and there will be no further price changes.

 30 billion yen, 300 million U.S. dollars.

Instalment payment, US dollars are paid first, and only US$10 million, or one billion yen, is enough in the first year, which is actually completely acceptable.

 The development of a game currently only costs about 10 million US dollars. With this, the efficiency of developing games will be twice the result with half the effort. There are really few reasons for rejection.

So Hayakawa Ueto didn’t hold on for long, and then agreed to the price.

This price is basically at the price limit that he and Bailey have negotiated. If it is even more than 10 million US dollars, they will no longer be able to accept it.

"Very good, it seems that Mr. Hayakawa, you have made your decision. I must say that your choice is very wise. In the current game environment, whoever can be the first to possess new technology will be able to gain the upper hand." Machine, and we are the ones with the upper hand."

Hayakawa Ueto was moved when he heard Takeyusei's words: "President Takeyu, what do you mean by this..."

Zhu Youxing knocked on the table and said: "Of course it is the American market, the European market, and even the world market. We are the first to have this new technology, and other companies have no time to react, so we will have the first advantage. Building on your strengths is a good strategy, isn't it?"

Hayakawa Uehito suddenly felt enlightened.

 He also immediately understood the meaning of Zhu Youxing's words.

 Zhu Youxing no longer regards him as a competitor, but more like a partner who advances and retreats together.

 To be honest, Hayakawa Ueto thinks this is pretty good.

 Both parties are originally companies from Japan. If they were not competing for the Japanese market, they could completely support each other around the world.

 The market is huge, and it is completely impossible for one company to capture it all.

No game company dares to say that it can capture all the four billion game players in the future, and can make all four billion players like its own game consoles and games. There will always be people who like this, and people who like that. The choices are strange.

Zhu Youxing only continued to expand his advantages through classic games so that others could not catch up with his status. However, he really did not dare to think so if he wanted to monopolize the four billion players.

Then it would be better to recruit a few more strong enough partners. Wouldn't that be good?

 Similar things actually happened in Zhuyouxing’s original world.

In a certain game annual selection, the three most powerful game console development companies at the time stood on the exhibition stand together and announced to the world that they were not competitors. They were all a group of people with unique beliefs and hoped to work together for the sake of players. As for the service people, what they hope most is to bring good games to players.
