452 【I would rather die than sell】
After meeting with everyone from Square's Game Development Department, Xia Tian smiled and said impatiently, "Can I watch the completed "Zombie Family" game?"
"Of course, please." Miyamoto Masashi smiled, then led everyone into his office and saw a TV on the table. The TV was connected to the red and white machine of Nintendo, and there was an unpacked and completely exposed game cassette on it.
Xia Tian is not unfamiliar with this scene. When he was a child, he also played the Red and White Machine at his classmate's house, which was exactly the same as the scene in front of him.
Masashi Miyamoto then turned on the TV and turned on the red and white machine. Soon the game screen appeared on the TV.
Xia Tian looked carefully and found that "Zombie Family" designed by Square's original action game is a horizontal action game, similar to double dragon slamming and whirlwind, but it is like "monster" turning from a gangster to a zombie.
The game story is set in that on a certain day of a certain year, a doctor found three zombies in a cave, and accidentally uncovered the talisman to free the zombies from the bondage. The male zombies and the female zombies immediately made a big fuss in the city. Players must destroy these two zombies in time, otherwise the entire city will be destroyed by zombies. Players have two characters to choose from, and the image is probably designed based on themselves and Lin Zhengying, one in Taoist robe and the other in strong suit. Needless to say, the person in strong suit is himself. It’s a pity that the red and white machine is eight-bit machine with limited pixels, so their facial features cannot be seen clearly, which makes Xia Tian a little regretful.
"A Tian, you are the one wearing strong suits. It's so cute." Hu Huizhong leaned into Xia Tian's ear and laughed softly.
Xia Tian said laughing and crying, "A little bitch is so big, I can't even see my face clearly. Where is it cute?"
"Anyway, it's cute." Hu Huizhong said unquestionably, "I'll buy a game and take it back. At that time, I'll control you and let you go east and go west."
"..." Xia Tian glanced at her speechlessly.
"Xia Sang, do you want to do it in practice?" Sakaguchi Hiroshinobu suggested.
Summer hasn't touched a red and white machine for at least twenty years. Now when I see it, I can't help but feel itchy, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
He chose the character wearing Taoist robe - Uncle Jiu. Then the picture flashed and Uncle Jiu came to the street.
At this moment, there were already people bitten by zombies on the street. Their corpse poison attacked Uncle Jiu.
Uncle Jiu has two moves to defeat the enemy. One is to use sprinkled glutinous rice to perform a long-range attack, which can remove the corpse poison from people and rejuvenate them. The other is to use a peach wood sword to perform a short-range attack, which can directly kill people infected with corpse poison. Those who are removed by glutinous rice will give points to express their gratitude, while those who are directly killed by the peach wood sword will not.
Xia Tian manipulated Uncle Jiu to open the first three small barriers. To be honest, the fight was quite refreshing, but the monster types were a little monotonous.
When he reached the fourth level, Xia Tian met Boss, who was the assistant of the doctor who was the first to be bitten to death by a zombie. Because he was infected more severely, Nuomi could only repel him but could not remove the corpse poison on his body. The peach wood sword cut on him, and the blood bar was reduced very little.
Xia Tian accidentally got swept by Boss, and half of the blood was knocked out. He quickly dodged, but in the end he was slowed down and was blown out by Bosss.
"Oh, what a pity!" Hu Huizhong couldn't help but sigh.
When Xia Tian was playing games just now, she was sweating coldly, wishing she could go up to help him. Now that she saw that he lost, she immediately came to Xia Tian, "A Tian, don't be sad, play another game and you will definitely win."
"No need. It's just a game, you don't have to take it seriously. I can't afford to lose." Xia Tian said with a smile. He just wanted to try the feel of this game. After playing it, he felt that although he was not as good as the classic horizontal action games such as Double Dragon and Quick Tornado, it was at least considered a qualified product.
"Does Xia Sang still continue playing? There are five major barriers behind it." Hiroshi Sakaguchi asked with a smile.
"No need." Xia Tian waved his hand and said, "After tasting the cauldron, you will know the taste of meat. I think this game is pretty good."
"Thank you, Xia Sang for your praise, we also hope to sell a good sales volume." Miyamoto Masashi nodded, "Otherwise, our game development department will be in a crisis of being cut off."
Hiroshi Sakaguchi and Hiroshi Tanaka also showed a look of awesomeness on their faces. Small companies are so sad that if a game fails to develop, they will face a survival crisis. On the contrary, if it is a game company such as Namco and Cap, because of its strong funds, even if a game fails to develop, it will only be a trauma.
Xia Tian was stunned when he heard this. He knew how powerful the "Final Fantasy" series under Squareps is. Not only did it produce games, but also movies, and even online games, which were quite popular. If it was disbanded, it would be a pity.
"It's better to take over this game company." Xia Tian thought to himself. He had played many red and white games back then, and it was not difficult for Square's to make money.
The scale of the electronic game industry in later generations was as high as 100 billion US dollars, which was higher than the total of the film industry (62 billion US dollars) and the music industry (11 billion US dollars), and became the leader of the entertainment industry. Of course, I can't miss such a big piece of cake.
Moreover, the electronic game industry is closely linked to the film industry and the music industry. If it complements each other well, it will be a win-win situation. I have already taken action in movies and music. If I get involved in the game industry, the three horses will advance together in the future and complement each other's advantages, and then I can benefit greatly. At the same time, I can also "enter the whole world" ideal in advance.
"If you can't continue to operate, I'm willing to take over the game development department." Xia Tian smiled slightly, "You can work for me at that time, and I will fund your game development."
When the three of them heard what he said, they were all surprised. Some were surprised, some were shocked, and some were speechless.
Hirodo Tanaka was the most surprised. He himself was a fan of Xia Tian and admired his talent. If he could work for him, he would not be too late to be happy, so how could he refuse?
Hiroshi Sakaguchi was shocked. Unexpectedly, Xia Tian would intend to acquire Squarells, which was beyond his expectations.
Because Square's game development department is just a small department, all the staff can count it with one palm, which is really shabby.
Moreover, since its establishment, Square has never developed an influential work. Among many Japanese game companies, they are all unknown.
Therefore, he really didn't expect Xia Tian to become interested in it, which surprised him very much. However, after being surprised, Hiroshi Sakaguchi couldn't help but feel excited again.
It is said that it is good to be on the back of a big tree to enjoy the cool air.
The reason why Square has not expanded its scale is because it lacks financial support. After all, its parent company, Telecom, is just a small electrical appliance company and is unable to support a huge game development department.
If you can invest in summer, Square will grow rapidly. At that time, it will not only continue to operate, but also grow and grow. Becoming the top game developer in Japan is just around the corner!
Masashi Miyamoto was speechless. He didn't expect that Xia Tian would actually plan to acquire his own game development department. Then wouldn't he be the one who led the wolf into the house?
Although Square is small in scale, it has never launched a masterpiece. It is one of the most unknown companies among many Japanese game merchants, and it is also facing a crisis of dissolution at any time.
But after all, this company was established with his father's support, and he doesn't want to let go if he can continue to operate it. Besides, it's better to work for others than to work for yourself.
"Xia Sang, even if the game development department cannot continue to operate, I will not sell it." Miyamoto Masashi said solemnly.
Xia Tian smiled slightly. It doesn't matter if Masashi Miyamoto was unwilling to sell it. Anyway, all he wanted was people. If it weren't for the sake of Hiroshi Sakaguchi, let alone acquiring this game dealer, even if he gave it to him with both hands, he wouldn't have taken over it.
"Sorry, Mr. Miyamoto, I don't know it is so important to you." Xia Tian explained, "Actually, I don't mean anything, I just want to help."
Miyamoto Masashi nodded and swore again, "I appreciate Xia Sang's kindness, but this game development department was founded by my dad, so I would rather die than sell it."
Seeing that he was so determined, Hiroshi Sakaguchi, Hiroshi Tanaka and others looked regretful.
Although they also have deep feelings for Square, they came here to work before they graduated from college and worked together for countless nights. But in comparison, their own future is more important.
Furthermore, for Square, it would be better if Xia Tian could take over it than staying at the Telecommunications Club. After all, the Telecommunications Club is just a small electrical appliance company, while Xia Tian is a super rich man with assets of nearly 10 billion yen.
This is a very regrettable thing that is good for the company and the employees, but cannot be done because of the minister's obsession.
"Okay, let's forget about this." Xia Tian smiled. He had noticed the expressions of Hiroshi Sakaguchi, Hiroshi Tanaka and others, and knew that they were very interested in their acquisition. Since that's the case, there was no need to talk to Masas Miyamoto anymore. If he didn't sell it, he would just bypass him and contact Hiroshi Sakaguchi and others.
"I wonder how tomorrow's publicity will be done?" He changed the subject again.
Seeing that Xia Tian did not insist on the acquisition, Miyamoto Masashi was relieved and then answered with Xia Tian.
"Tomorrow at 10 o'clock, the Songzhu Hotel. We have made an appointment with the reporter. They heard that you could come to participate, and they were all very enthusiastic and responded positively." said Masashi Miyamoto.
In fact, it would be difficult for him to call a reporter without Xia Tian's participation.
