After entering the United States, Zhao Chen did not go directly to Sega's current president David Rosen, but came to Warner Group first and met with Warner's senior leaders, including the current president of Warner Group.

After a year of cooperation, Zhao Chen-Warner Group can be said to attach great importance to it.

After taking over with senior Warner Group executives, Zhao Chen expressed his purpose this time, hoping that Warner Group could help negotiate and collect information about Warner USA.

Zhao Chen believes that as long as Warner Group, which is a local snake, agrees, the success rate will undoubtedly be much greater, and at least he will have the possibility of competing for Sega in the United States.

In Honolulu, Hawaii, looking at the towering building in front of him, Zhao Chen couldn't help but feel a little emotional. This is the Sega Game Company, which is now in a diminishing state.

Due to the depression of the US economy, David Rosen has been in bad shape in recent years. In addition to Sega Games, there are many other assets under it that need emergency relief. In a helpless manner, he had the idea of ​​selling Sega.

Over the years, Sega Games has become a very famous game company that is comparable to Sony and Nintendo. Therefore, many wealthy people have the intention to acquire, including IBM and Microsoft!

It can be said that in addition to Shirooka Nakayama, IBM and Microsoft should not be underestimated.

However, IBM's focus is mainly on computer development, and the acquisition of Sega Games can be considered as an investment in the future.

As for Microsoft today, it is not a giant in the future, and it is currently a bit dependent on IBM.

In 1980, IBM selected Microsoft to write key operating system software for its new PCs, which was a major turning point in the company's development. Due to the tight time and complex program, Microsoft bought the right to use an operating system QDOS from Patterson, a Seattle programmer in $50,000. After partial rewriting, it was given to IBM and named it Microsoft DOS. The popularity of IBM-PCs made MS-DOS a huge success because other PC manufacturers wanted to be compatible with IBM. MS-DOS was licensed in many companies. Therefore, in the 1980s, it became the standard operating system for PCs.

In 1983, Microsoft signed a contract with IBM to provide IBMPC with a BASIC interpreter and operating system. It is precisely because of its cooperation with IBM that Microsoft's sales can be described as a crazy increase. Next year, Microsoft's sales will exceed $100 million. Subsequently, Microsoft will continue to develop software for computers of IBM, Apple and radio equipment companies.

In other words, although Microsoft is developing rapidly, it is undoubtedly a terrible problem to acquire Sega Games. Microsoft is also mainly focused on developing software. How can it lose the big picture due to small things?

It can be said that although IBM and Microsoft are both competitive, they are not Zhao Chen’s biggest opponents due to their respective reasons. The biggest opponent may only be Shirooshi Nakayama, who is currently the vice president of Sega!

After Warner Group's negotiations, Zhao Chen easily obtained the right to buy Sega. Of course, if you want to reach a deal, you undoubtedly need to convince David Rosen. After all, Shirooshi Nakayama has a great advantage. It can be said that he gets the moon first when he is close to the water.

Zhao Chen also has his own advantages, that is, he is rich in fame and has a wide network of contacts!

Logically speaking, with Zhao Chen's reputation, there is no need for Warner Group's help, I believe David Rosen must have seen him. But Zhao Chen asked Warner Group for help, which naturally contained inexplicable meaning.

There is no doubt that Warner Group is a giant in the United States, and there are very few companies that can compete with each other. It is also possible to imagine that the connections that such a large group have. The reason why Zhao Chen helped Warner Group was completely to intimidate David Rosen. Not only would he have more room for maneuver, but he could also avoid David Rosen's lion's big words, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Zhao Chen is waiting in the living room of Sega Game Company. David Rosen is currently very busy. During this period, there are often rich people who want to buy Sega Game Company. For his own interests, he can only talk slowly one by one.

Just as Zhao Chen was waiting while drinking coffee, two people came in from the door. Looking at the familiar appearance of the two, Zhao Chen almost choked.

He can be said to be very familiar with these two people in the future. Of course, they are people who have been intimate with God for a long time. They are Microsoft's founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen! Of course, both of them are very young and have become young rich people recently. Of course, they cannot be compared with Zhao Chen.

Among them last year, Paul Allen and Bill Gates completed his last work for Microsoft: a new BASIC language. He had to leave Microsoft because he was diagnosed with some kind of cancer syndrome. But he still owned a stake in the company and was Microsoft's second largest shareholder.

This time, Bill Gates actually wanted to acquire Sega Games, but after all, it was a big deal. It also required the agreement of another shareholder of Microsoft, Paul Allen. It was because the two of them came to Sega Games together.

"I guess the two are Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen. I am Zhao Chen, and I am very happy to see you!"

Facing these two future rich men, Zhao Chen did not put on airs, but came to the two and stretched out his right hand.

"Ah, no wonder I look so familiar. It turns out to be the grand pianist Mr. Zhao Chen!"

Bill Gates is a pure otaku now, especially in the past two years, Microsoft has entered a period of rapid development. He basically spent the whole day designing programming software in the studio. Bill Gates knew Zhao Chen entirely because of the piano album "Dawn", because in order to avoid boredom, he would play music while working.

"It's obviously a big screenwriter!" Paul Allen muttered beside him. Although this guy is much more outgoing than Bill Gates, he has been diagnosed with cancer syndrome last year, and he has been staying at home or in the hospital for a lot of time. He is also not very clear about all aspects of Zhao Chen. It's just that Paul Allen watched "Home Imperial" last Christmas, which has a profound impact on this film, and he often hears Zhao Chen's name. Over time, Zhao Chen is a big screenwriter in his eyes.

"Sorry, both of you, both piano and movie screenwriters are just my amateur job, my real job is comics!"

Zhao Chen was a little confused, but he shook hands with the two and said that his main business was in the comics.

After Bill Gates and Paul Allen looked at each other, they could see the surprise in each other's eyes. They never expected such an apologies. Neither of them expected that it was just Zhao Chen's side job. They couldn't help but shrugging at Zhao Chen to apologize.

After the two introduced themselves, Paul Allen took the lead and said, "Mr. Zhao Chen, are you going to acquire Sega this time, right?"

Compared with Bill Gates, who is still relatively introverted and silent, Paul Allen is obviously much more outgoing. In fact, he can become Microsoft's second largest shareholder. Although the light has been taken away by Bill Gates, Paul Allen also made an indelible contribution, especially when he introduced Bill Gates to this industry.

The way Americans talk is so direct, not like Chinese people. Zhao Chen also likes a more direct way. After all, it is a waste of time and energy to go around.

The two of them are now in a dark look and don’t know Zhao Chen’s true background. However, even the two identities of the grand pianist and the great screenwriter they know are enough to allow Zhao Chen to have the funds for competition. It is because Paul Allen said so.

Of course, on the other hand, since the two of them didn't know much about Zhao Chen, they believed that even if Zhao Chen really had the intention to acquire, they would probably not be able to compete with others.

This is Paul Allen's idea. If Zhao Chen knew his idea, he would probably have ridiculous ideas. Paul Allen's idea is undoubtedly strange.

Not to mention the companies under Zhao Chen, the return of the film "Home Imperial" alone is close to 200 million US dollars. Similarly, the piano album "Dawn" has now successfully exceeded 10 million worldwide, and the surrounding areas can also bring him considerable benefits.

And the world club in the island country alone has created hundreds of millions of dollars for him in the past three years, not to mention animation clubs, toy factories and other companies. If we count the various branches outside Shanghai, their assets will probably have reached 20 to 30 billion US dollars, and they are already a veritable rich man, enough to rank on the Forbes rankings.
