Chapter 74 Production Line
Seeing Liu Zhiyuan frowning, Li Huagui breathed a sigh of relief. Now the Han Dynasty was already walking the tightrope. If he provoked Japan Electric again, there would undoubtedly be a snake placed behind the tightrope, which would scare him to death.
"Forget about PC-E, we will just acquire those small companies as planned. Merging their production lines together can barely make enough cassettes for handheld consoles."
Liu Zhiyuan said something faintly, which frightened him and quickly dissuaded him.
"What do you think I should do with the Han Dynasty as a mortgage? The Han Dynasty is of high quality. It can be mortgaged at a good price now, but it won't be worth the money again when the handheld console is released."
Li Huagui didn't know why Liu Zhiyuan suddenly focused on the PE-C production line. That production line was too wasteful for them. Handheld consoles did not need such an advanced production line.
He didn't know that Liu Zhiyuan was not clear about the mortgage contract. Such large-scale mortgages have very complete risk control. There will definitely be regulations in the contract that prohibit high-risk transactions. Once the Han Dynasty announces that it will be the first party independently.
The bank must be more panicked than anyone else, because at that time the Han Dynasty had to face ruthless suppression from Nintendo, Sega, and Sony. Who would have believed that the Han Dynasty could survive it? To be honest, he has no idea now.
When the time comes, banks will definitely implement high-risk regulations, and the Han Dynasty will die at the hands of banks if not at the hands of its opponents.
"Don't even think about it. I really am not fighting with you this time. If you dare to mortgage, I will fucking quit."
"Do you understand risk control? Do you understand how strict the mortgage of 200 million US dollars of assets will be? If you don't understand, I will tell you."
Liu Zhiyuan has done enough mortgage loans before, but he has never done any large amounts. In his last life, his company was able to support tens of millions of dollars, and it was Huaxia Coin.
"Tell me, I'll listen."
Li Huagui saw that he really didn't understand, so he calmed down a little, took a long puff of cigarette and said.
"Banks will be very strict when lending money to companies, especially companies like ours that have assets of over 100 million but have no financial background. If you want to borrow 10 million, it will be easy. The question is, is 10 million enough for you to purchase a PC-E production line?"
Liu Zhiyuan shook his head.
"not enough."
"So, if you have to borrow a lot, or even the highest amount, the bank will definitely set a lot of regulations for us, because we have no foundation and no ability to resist risks."
"There must be high-risk regulations. Your declaration of independence will definitely trigger these regulations. Banks are not philanthropists. They will definitely implement high-risk regulations in order to ensure that they do not lose money."
"When the time comes, the bank comes to ask for money. Do you have it? You don't! What should you do if you don't have it? Asset mortgage, then the handheld console you worked so hard to build will be cheaper for the bank."
"The bank wants a handheld machine but it's useless. They will sell it to Nintendo or Sega. So, I want to ask what are you trying to do? Philanthropist Liu Zhiyuan? Liu Zhiyuan who helps you in times of need?"
Liu Zhiyuan is naturally not a philanthropist, so bank loans are blocked.
"Okay, I get it. Then I'll think of another way. PC-E, please check carefully. If HUDSON replies, tell me and leave."
After being scolded by Li Huagui, Liu Zhiyuan was too embarrassed to stay in his office. He had indeed never been exposed to any large-amount mortgage loans. It seemed that he would have to learn more about this aspect in the future.
In fact, the final analysis is that Liu Zhiyuan suddenly became interested in the PC-E production line, otherwise the Han Dynasty would not need to go to the bank for loans in recent years or even in the future.
The reason why Liu Zhiyuan is attracted to PC-E is the potential of this production line. Cassettes will be replaced by CD discs in the future.
If he acquires a bunch of production lines that cannot be modified or are very expensive to modify, it will be equivalent to spending tens of millions of dollars on handheld console manufacturing, which is such a waste.
The PC-E production line definitely has the potential to be transformed into a CD disk production line, and the price will definitely not be too outrageous. There are already signs of this happening now that CD disks are replacing cassettes.
Later generations of PC-E also produced CD disk games, and their production line was definitely not Nintendo's production line that focused on cartridges.
The current situation is that except for Sony and a few major manufacturers that have their own CD disk production lines, other manufacturers do not have them at all. They are still waiting and watching, including Nintendo. There is no way, the cost of transforming the production lines is too high.
Especially Nintendo's production line. Nintendo has the largest and most advanced cassette production line in the industry. However, because it pays too much attention to cassettes, the cost of modification is sky-high. Therefore, Hiroshi Yamauchi has been unable to make up his mind to modify it.
Nintendo's 32-bit console N64 failed in this regard. Liu Zhiyuan had long decided that in addition to handheld consoles and cassettes, all other games would be CDs.
Now that a production line that could produce cassettes and transform them into CDs appeared in front of him, he couldn't let it go.
In the past, he thought of holding on to the handheld device first, but the opportunity was already in front of him, how could he let it go? Who knows what he would discover in the future, he had to get it first before talking.
"It seems that we need to contact Sony in advance, we can't wait for MD to release it."
Liu Zhiyuan began to study how to make money from Sony. In the past few days, he took a pile of information and looked through the records every day.
It was a little chaotic outside at this time, because the live-action game promotional video of Might and Magic was released. In just one day, the popularity of Might and Magic once again overtook Super Mario.
"Oh my god, it's really a game!"
"Heroes of Might and Magic has a great name!"
Dongying Huadong Video Game Store has become another holy place for gamers simply because this is the place where the Han Dynasty games first appeared.
The feelings of gamers are sometimes so simple.
"Nobuda-kun, do you think this game will be a hundred-man battle?"
"It's like this in the promotional video, but isn't the game unrealistic?"
Nobuyuki Shinoda is the player who won 100 championships when Liu Zhiyuan was promoting the game here.
"If it is put on an arcade machine, I think it is still possible. It is unlikely to be used on a home game console. At least it cannot be done on FC."
Nobuyuki Shinoda failed the 100-second challenge again. This time he lasted 72 seconds.
"Unless Sega makes a game console with far better performance than FC."
The release scene of Akina Nakamori's new single.
"Ms. Nakamori, is your new single also in the style of Judgment of Crime?"
"No, it's a relatively peaceful song."
"Ms. Nakamori, may I ask why you thought of playing the role of a female shooter in the first place? This does not fit with your image."
"I want to challenge myself. It's not good to always look weak and incompetent."
Press conference for Rambo 3.
"Mr. Sylvester, will your First Blood 3 contain such magical creatures?"
Stallone returned with a smile.
"Sir, you have to understand that Rambo 3 is a modern movie, not a fantasy movie, but I am willing to try similar roles in the future."
