Game Development Giant

Mr. Li, this is our plan.

Looking at the two people in front of him, a man and a woman, the man was a middle-aged man who was not tall. He was wearing a well-dressed suit. He bent over and respectfully handed a document to Jester with both hands.

The other woman, or girl may be more appropriate, with long hair. Although she is the assistant of the Samsung director, she does not seem to take the director seriously at all. Once she enters Jester's After entering the office, he stared at Jester, as if he wanted to see something different.

Jester himself felt that he was a little uncomfortable being looked at by the other party.

He naturally knows this girl. Li Jianxi made a special call to him before and explained the situation to him. This is Li Jianxi's eldest daughter Li Fuzhen. This time she came to the United States mainly to study in the United States. This is also the reason why Li Jianxi Jester's previous suggestion was that when Li Fuzhen was still attending Ewha Girls' School in Seoul, Li Jianxi asked Jester about studying in the United States, and Jester also made a recommendation.

However, due to subsequent changes within Samsung, Li Jianxi did not have the energy to deal with this matter, so there was no news for the time being. This time Samsung was back on track, and he had to talk to Mars Entertainment about restarting the amusement park, so this time He simply asked Li Fuzhen to transfer from Yonsei University to the United States to study.

For a person of Li Jianxi's level, it is not difficult for his children to attend any university.

Originally, he decided on Yale University, which is considered one of the most famous universities in the United States with so many famous schools. However, Li Fuzhen rejected this famous school and did not choose Harvard University, which is as famous as Yale. Instead, he chose UCLA, the same university Jester attended before dropping out.

And because this time Samsung came to discuss the amusement park with Mars Entertainment, after Li Fuzhen learned about it, he asked Li Jianxi for a position. Initially, Li Jianxi disagreed, but then he thought about it. Jester would probably be in charge of the amusement park this time, and he himself needed to be in South Korea now, and it was impossible to go to the United States again, so he arranged Being his plenipotentiary representative can also be regarded as his respect for Jester.

This plenipotentiary could also supervise on his behalf. Finally, after much deliberation, he gave Li Fuzhen such a position. He is said to be the deputy director of this amusement park project, but his true identity is just a representative and supervisor.

Jester had met Li Fuzhen the last time he went to Korea. At that time, she and her sister were discovered by Li Jianxi for playing with Nintendo products, and they were severely scolded. Jester was the one who saved them, so Jester He was very impressed with the other party.

However, although Jester felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the other party, this document from Samsung. He still has to watch.

This is a plan made by Samsung, which is much further than their previous plan. Last time, the two parties established a nominal dog-head company for this project called **Bao-Mars Company. Aibo is the Everland that Samsung now specializes in amusement parks, and Mars is naturally Mars Entertainment.

This time, this company will no longer be a nominal dog-head company, but a real operating company. This amusement park project is also handled by this company established by both parties.

Of course, there is the issue of equity distribution. The two sides once again had differences, which were not irreconcilable.

Mars Entertainment provided all the copyrights, while Samsung provided all the funds and shares of both parties. Samsung required both parties to share 50%, but Jester did not agree with this distribution plan, although they only provided There are some copyrights, but these copyrights are the most important in the development and expansion plan of this amusement park.

As long as you have money, everyone can build an amusement park. But if you want to build an amusement park on the scale of Disney, it takes more than just having money. In fact, in an amusement park of this scale, In amusement parks, although money is important, it is no longer the most important.

Now in the world, apart from Disney, Mars Entertainment may be the only one with this most important resource.

Therefore, based on this premise, Jester proposed a plan in which he would occupy 60%, while Samsung could only occupy 40%. This was done by Jester because the two parties were strategic partners. If According to his previous personality, or if the partner this time is not Samsung, then Mars Entertainment must occupy at least 65% of the company's shares.

Such a plan is difficult for Samsung to accept. The reason why it is difficult to accept is also very simple. It is because in this way, Samsung can only be a participant, because the other party occupies 60% of the shares, and the other party can participate in this company. People in the company do whatever they want, but there is nothing they can do about it.

From Samsung's point of view, this is just letting people take advantage of others.

Although Li Jianxi is a little dissatisfied with Jester's proposal, it is not unacceptable. Moreover, Jester's reasons are also very sufficient. If Mars Entertainment does not participate in this plan, then they can only fish out of the well. Yue, there is no possibility of success at all, which means that Mars Entertainment is irreplaceable in this plan.

But Samsung is not in such a position.

For Mars Entertainment, if they want, they can start this project themselves, because for Mars Entertainment, they are not short of money - and then again, if it is really better than the liquidity in the company, Samsung will not There must be more entertainment on Mars.

However, there are some things that Li Jianxi can do forcibly. Although he will still offend people, some people know that he is doing it for the good of Samsung. Therefore, even if there is resistance, there will naturally be support. But in this matter, Li Jianxi just can no longer insist on his own way, because this matter is obviously not in the interests of Samsung.

On the issue of shares, Jester will not make any concessions, and it is impossible for Samsung to directly agree. In their view, the terms that Jester also proposed are too overbearing, and the only option is to increase the price by another 5%. This method is not even discussed within Samsung.

Because this is not a question of shares at all, but a question of whether it can have a say. In the eyes of Samsung, 40% and 45% do not have a say in the company, so , this is a meaningless proposal.

In the end, it was Jester who made some accommodations in order to facilitate this matter. He could not compromise on the issue of shares. This was a matter of principle, but his original intention was not to control the company. He just He just wants to make money, so this time he can say that among the 60% of the stocks he occupies, only 4%, which is equal to Samsung, have complete rights, and the remaining 20% Voting rights belong to the CEO of the company.

The CEO is not set separately, but a CEO is first selected. After being approved by both parties, the CEO directly controls 20% of the voting rights. If the other party does not agree, then this party can also Propose a CEO to form a joint CEO. The two people jointly control the voting rights of the 20% of the shares.

Although after this change, Mars Entertainment still has the right to speak, but in Samsung's view, this is the best solution, so it agreed to Jester's proposal.

Of course, the right to dividends still belongs entirely to Mars Entertainment.

Jester just finished reading the document handed over by Samsung, and the director of Samsung's amusement park project happened to be in front of him, so Jester also wanted to target some of the things in this document. Tell me your opinion on the question.

But just as he was about to say something, the phone on his desk rang.

The call came from Japan, and the tone of Tamahide Yoshiro, the president of Mars Entertainment Japan Branch, was still a little anxious on the phone.

“Sony and Nintendo have just announced that their research and development plan for a 16-bit console is almost completed. White box testing has now begun. It will be officially launched by the end of January or early February next year... This new generation of consoles will be officially launched. The name they named PlayStation seems to have nothing to do with the previous FC...

This news shocked Jester, because according to his previous speculation with the hardware project department, and according to the current scale of the joint development departments of Sony and Nintendo, it is absolutely impossible for them to complete a qualified 16-inch mobile phone in such a short period of time. Computer development.

Moreover, Sega's MD has also been released. For Nintendo and Sony, it is impossible for them to produce a game console with obvious flaws compared to Sega's MD. Therefore, Mars Entertainment originally predicted that the Sony-Nintendo joint development team would complete The production of this new generation of game console will not be officially launched until March or April next year, or even May or June. Unexpectedly, this time they have advanced it four months.

In this way, the release time of the new generation consoles of both parties will be almost the same.

And Tamahide Yoshiro was also telling Jester about the information he had gathered from all aspects: It is said that this time Nintendo and Sony had another negotiation. It seems that Nintendo compromised a lot, which made Sony step up. The development intensity was so great that we even mobilized dozens of hardware development elites from the headquarters to participate in the development, so that we could complete it ahead of schedule.”

After hearing this statement from Tamahide Yoshiro, Jester began to ponder.

He thinks this statement is very possible, because the naming of PlayStation this time is obviously one of the major concessions made by Nintendo. Otherwise, it is impossible for the new console to be named like this. (To be continued...)
