Chapter 1553

Bill Gates has made up his mind that this time he must cry loudly. Even if he doesn't die, he will be pulled out of a layer of skin.

"Mr. chairman, we can understand what you just said, but the problem is that some things are easy to say but difficult to do. Now the competition in the game industry and mobile phone industry is very fierce. If we Microsoft enter the game rashly, why should we seize the market?" a director stood up and asked.

In fact, the director's shares in Microsoft are small, with a total of about 1.8%, but this is indeed one of the directors that Bill Gates attaches most importance to.

Because behind this director is the American priority foundation.

The amazing business ability of the American priority foundation is not to mention. Anyway, there is a unified consensus in the market, that is, any enterprise that is favored and invested by the United States is an enterprise with great potential and more than 90% chance of becoming rich.

The more capital is preferentially injected by the United States, the greater the development potential of this enterprise, so that many enterprises even ask the United States to give priority to injecting capital to themselves. However, the United States priority foundation is too arrogant, not determined by itself, and does not invest at all, even if the shares are given away, which makes everyone more recognize the United States priority foundation.

The American priority foundation can achieve such dazzling results, certainly not because of special abilities such as prophecy, but because of their keen sense of smell for the market.

Therefore, many companies invested by the American priority foundation will invite the foundation to the board meeting, and then invite them to express their opinions. At the same time, they attach great importance to their opinions.

For example, in an enterprise like Microsoft, even if Bill Gates is the dazzling founder, if the opportunity of American priority foundation is not good, many directors are likely to vote No.

Therefore, Bill Gates paid special attention to the decisions and opinions of the American priority foundation, and naturally answered his questions very carefully!

"I'm absolutely sure!" Bill Gates said firmly.

"Then, where does this full assurance come from?" asked the representative of the foundation.

"Well... I can't say for the time being. I'm afraid that if the news gets out, I will be sniped by my opponent in advance, but I promise I'm sure!" Bill Gates said.

"Ha ha!" the representative of the foundation smiled. "Mr. Bill Gates, we are not children, and we all know that some things can't be reassured if we don't make it clear!"

"..." Bill Gates hesitated for a moment and then took a look at the representatives of the whole board of directors.

These representatives have shares in Microsoft and should not take this to harm Microsoft. After all, Microsoft's share price has fallen, and they are the first to lose money.

Moreover, it seems that there are no people who have been close to Daqian, so Bill Gates finally decided to say, "first, in terms of games, we are in contact with Nintendo. At present, the negotiation situation is very good. We Microsoft can inject capital into Nintendo, and then set up a new enterprise to jointly explore the game market!"

"Let's not forget that Nintendo was once the overlord and occupied the whole game market for 20 years. Even I grew up playing Nintendo FC game console. At the same time, Nintendo has rich experience in game console development and a large number of well-known game IP. If we can get these things, in addition to Microsoft's huge global sales network, Then we can instantly become the top three game enterprises in the world and attack the first position in a short time! "

"It's so simple to protect three and fight for one!" Bill Gates finally said his bottom card, which also made the whole board of directors in an uproar.

Microsoft has actually contacted Nintendo and talked very successfully. If the last two companies really complete the merger and reorganization, everything will indeed be like what Bill Gates said. Microsoft will instantly become a giant in the game industry and the game market will be readily available without any difficulty.

If so, they must fully support Bill Gates' decision!

"Nintendo..." even the people of the foundation were obviously shocked, and then said in surprise, "our foundation once contacted Nintendo and wanted to invest in Nintendo, but they were rejected by the other party. Mr. chairman, you succeeded!"

"This is natural. After all, the fund is just a simple investment fund, but we Microsoft have huge market resources, so it will be easier for us to talk about it!" Bill Gates said proudly.

But this is not the case.

Nintendo does show that it wants to cooperate with Microsoft. It is impossible not to be acquired by Microsoft first and then incorporated into Microsoft. Nintendo will not do such selling.

Their plan is that Nintendo will provide technology and IP, Microsoft will provide money, and the two sides will jointly establish a joint venture, and then both sides will jointly operate and finally make profits.

Secondly, the main reason why Nintendo agreed to such cooperation is that the old stubborn Yamauchi Pu is dead. Now Nintendo's controller is Iwata Cong.

Of course, his idea is not as stubborn as that of Pu Yamauchi. He will stick to it and is unwilling to carry out more in-depth cooperation with any enterprise. In essence, he does not exclude the cooperation mode of joint venture.

Secondly, Nintendo's life is very hard now. Although Nintendo has made a lot of income by selling the legend of Zelda series, it is not short of money.

But the problem is that Nintendo is very uncomfortable in the market and console. Because of the rise of the steam game store, Nintendo can only rely on the steam game store to sell its games, but in this way, it needs to pay 30% of the profits to each other, which makes Nintendo used to exploiting other third-party game manufacturers, How can you bear such a huge loss.

Secondly, in terms of the console, Nintendo's N64 is in a colder situation. Especially in the European and American markets, the sales volume has fallen to the bottom, and the game console is the pillar of that place. If the game console can't get up, Nintendo will die sooner or later.

So at this moment, Microsoft, which has independent sales channels and a large number of North American markets, has become Nintendo's best partner.

Finally, and most importantly, both sides have a common enemy.

It is said that when Microsoft and Nintendo talked, they still had great difficulties and obstacles. However, at a wine table, a representative of Microsoft cried to Nintendo about the pain and persecution brought to them by Daqian. Naturally, Nintendo, who originally hated Daqian, felt the same way. The two cried together.

After crying, the cooperation between the two sides seemed to be unimpeded. It was unimaginable that they soon reached an intention contract.
