"Please allow me to keep this issue a secret, but I believe you will be able to guess it in the future."
In response to Hayakawa Ueto's simple and direct inquiry, Takeyusei just gave a slightly mysterious smile and did not intend to give any answer.
He also has the ambition to achieve a data monopoly, so naturally he cannot tell the whole story to the other party easily.
In fact, it is not a big problem to say it, because I am not inferior to the data of Surui Electronics.
After letting them know, they will at best be more vigilant, produce their own game engines in advance, and then distribute them to their own studios and partners.
But this does not affect anything. In the previous life, Unreal Engine was still the world's number one game engine. The others were all engines of their own companies with special purposes and were not diversified.
Unreal Engine can produce anything and covers a wide range. This is the absolute advantage of Unreal Engine. As long as you don't do anything to death, there is no possibility of being killed.
Hayakawa Ueto had already expected Takeyusei's answer, so he was not surprised. Then the two parties directly entered the price negotiation process.
Takeyusei raised three fingers at this time, and then slowly said: "30 billion yen, you can only pay one billion yen in the first year, and you can pay it slowly in the subsequent years, there is no need to rush to pay it all in one go.
Payment completed."
Hayakawa Ueto's pupils shrank slightly.
Even though he was prepared, he was still a little scared by the price.
Their current development cost for a game is only about one billion yen, while Takeyusei directly costs 30 billion yen for a piece of software, which is also unacceptable to Hayakawa Ueto.
But he understands this is a premium from competitors.
"We need to discuss this price again and hope it can be lowered."
Zhu Youxing shook his head: "This is non-negotiable. You just said that you are not only using it for game development, but also plan to use it for film and television special effects development. So in order to provide you with continuous after-sales service,
This is also a big expense, and this kind of money cannot be saved.”
"Continuous after-sales service?"
"That's right." Zhu Youxing nodded, "We will provide customized software modification services at any time according to your needs to help you improve your film and television special effects development and game development. This is not a one-time deal, but an ongoing one.
A continuous service, in fact, I don’t simply think of it as a piece of software, but more like selling a service.”
Hayakawa Ueto fell into deep thought.
Zhu Youxing's words are indeed very novel.
Similar situations have not happened in many business negotiations before.
Many business negotiations that Hayakawa Ueto faced before had some leeway.
Of course, I have never had the opportunity to discuss anything with some industry competitors before.
At most, the other party will go bankrupt and then finance the acquisition of the other party. Surui Electronics has always been the one who takes the initiative.
But now, it is no longer our side that takes the initiative, but the other side.
The other party set a price to death, and he seemed to have no ability to refuse.
At this time, Zhu Youxing began to be persuasive: "You can imagine that with this engine, you can develop games with multiple studios at the same time. Then the output of games in a year will be more than ten, and the quality of the graphics will be the same."
Not bad, this is a good deal, especially since you are not limited to game production, but also film and television special effects, so you will also have certain advantages in film and television special effects."
Hayakawa Ueto felt that Takeyusei was a very good lobbyist.
His words can always touch the hearts of others and make them shake themselves.
Even Hayakawa Ueto was also impressed, and even began to think that such a price of 30 billion yen was still a good deal.
But he still wanted to hold on a little longer.
Of course, the result is conceivable and the price will not change any more.
Thirty billion yen, three hundred million US dollars.
Installment payment, U.S. dollar priority payment, only requires 10 million U.S. dollars in the first year, which is one billion yen, which is actually completely acceptable.
The development of a game currently only costs about 10 million US dollars. With this, the efficiency of game development will be twice the result with half the effort. There are really few reasons for rejection.
So Hayakawa Ueto didn't hold out for too long, and then agreed to the price.
This price is basically at the price limit that he and Bailey have negotiated. If it is even more than 10 million US dollars, they will no longer be able to accept it.
"Very good. It seems that Mr. Hayakawa has made your decision. I must say that your choice is very wise. In the current game environment, whoever can be the first to possess new technology will be able to gain the upper hand.
There is an opportunity, and we are the ones who have the upper hand."
Hayakawa Ueto was moved when he heard Takeyusei's words: "President Takeyu, what do you mean by this..."
Zhu Youxing knocked on the table and said: "Of course it is the American market, the European market, and even the world market. We are the first to have this new technology, and other companies have not had time to react, so we will have the first advantage.
Building a solid foundation through strengths is a good strategy, isn't it?"
Hayakawa Uehito suddenly felt enlightened.
He also immediately understood the meaning of Zhu Youxing's words.
Zhu Youxing no longer regards him as a competitor, but more like a partner who advances and retreats together.
To be honest, Hayakawa Ueto actually thinks this is pretty good.
Both parties are originally companies from Japan. If they were not competing for the Japanese market, they could completely support each other around the world.
The market is huge, and it is completely impossible for one company to capture it all.
No game company dares to say that it can capture all the four billion game players in the future, and can make all four billion players like its own game consoles and games. There will always be people who like this, and people who like that.
The choice is very strange.
Zhu Youxing only continued to expand his advantages through classic games so that others could not catch up with his status. But if he wanted to monopolize the four billion players, he really didn't dare to think so.
Then it would be better to recruit a few more strong enough partners, wouldn't that be good?
In Zhuyouxing's original world, similar things actually happened.
In a certain annual game selection, the three most powerful game console development companies at the time stood on the exhibition stand and announced to the world that they were not competitors. They were all a group of people with unique beliefs and hoped to work together for the sake of players.
As for the service people, what they hope most is to bring good games to players.
