Chapter 373: Microsoft's ambitions (9/10)

　　 "Cheers!"
　　Sega Bandai was holding an internal celebration party at this time, all the middle management attended, the momentum was very loud, and some relevant media bosses were also invited.
　　 Uranus' sales statistics for the first week came out, even if they set a high price of 29,800 yen, which is 50% higher than N64, but still sold 930,000 units.
Although 　　 failed to achieve the feat of breaking the million in the first week, it also broke the previous record of other game console sales. Their games have also sold hundreds of thousands of copies, which can be said to be very successful.
　　 This reception, there is also a heavyweight guest, that is the chairman of Microsoft, Bill Gates.
　　Everyone got together to chat in twos and threes, Ogawa Kung and Bill Gates sat together and whispered.
　　 "Bill, thank you for the system you made, it is really very easy to use, and it is also very suitable for game development. Uranus's success cannot be separated from your help."
　　 Bill Gates touched Okawa's glass and drank a sip of champagne: "I am also honored to be able to cooperate with the best game console manufacturers in the world. I believe our future cooperation will be more pleasant."
　　He came this time, not just want to participate in the celebration of Sega Bandai. The profit brought by the Sega Bandai system to Microsoft is far less than the WIN98 and OFFICE office software series they are now listed. After all, they only provide an operating system, and the money received is not much.
　　He came here this time for a deeper purpose.
　　 "Mr. Okawa, have you ever thought about letting Sega Bandai cooperate further with Microsoft? We, Microsoft, are the world's top software manufacturers, and we will always be the industry's first in the future."
"If your company can allow Microsoft to take a share, it will produce more benefits for our cooperation. We have sufficient funds and excellent technology to make Sega Bandai better." First launch https:// https://
　　 Bill? Gates also likes to play games, he also wants to make a game machine belonging to Microsoft. Only in terms of hardware, Microsoft's strength is not strong, and there is no accumulation of game companies, so I want to find a suitable partner.
　　Once he thought about acquiring Atari, but later discovered that Atari had too many negative assets, and they did not have a hardware department. It was difficult to achieve short-term profit after the acquisition. Starting
　　 Especially at that time, the company's focus was to develop a new generation of PC operating system, and other shareholders did not agree. So they chose to cooperate with Sega Bandai, on the one hand, they can enter this market, on the one hand, they can also accumulate experience.
　　If possible, he would like to acquire Sega Bandai, at least holding.
Sega Bandai not only performs very well in the game industry, but also has many very good animation copyrights. These copyrights can not only be developed into games, but also toys, movies, etc. Microsoft does not do it, and can be licensed to other companies to obtain Profit.
　　 Sega Bandai’s assets at this time are very high-quality. Paul and Steve should not object to such a company, and no one can object.
　　Ogawa's face changed, he glanced at Bill Gates. Sure enough, this guy flew from Seattle, there was an attempt, but he didn't expect such a big attempt.
　　Sega Bandai is his business. Apart from CSK, his most important business is also going to be passed down from generation to generation.
　　 Microsoft's rising momentum at this time is too fierce, and will become the hegemony of the software industry. After such a company becomes a shareholder, will it be willing to be a small shareholder?
　　Ogawa amplifier put down the glass: "Bill, we are friends, then just say something. Do you want to buy shares, increase an investment direction, or are you really optimistic about this career and want to continue to do it?"
　　 Bill Gates also put down his glass and looked directly at Ogawa Kungfu: "I take this as a career, and I want to do it for a long time, develop and grow, and become the industry's first."
　　 This answer made Okawa Kung's heart even deeper. This also proves that Bill Gates' ambition for this industry.
"I also regard Sega Bandai as a lifelong career, so I will not give up. If you just want to participate in the shares, I can help you tell the board, maybe they will agree. But if you have other thoughts, I can not agree ."
　　 Bill? Gates's face is also not very good-looking, what market value is my Microsoft company, and how much is our profit for one year? How much is Sega Bandai worth, and the profit for a year is not as good as ours, you let me only participate in shares?
　　Even if Bill Gates will participate in some companies, it must be a top big company, enriching his industrial investment to reduce risk.
　　 Sega Bandai, not yet qualified.
　　 But seeing the other party's attitude, Bill Gates decided to take it slowly, first get shares to acquire part of the equity, and then acquire the shares in the hands of other shareholders, and eventually be able to control the company.
　　 Before that, let him get enough voting rights.
　　 "Thirty-five percent, I want thirty-five percent of the equity, including the corresponding voting rights. I can accept non-controlling, but cannot be a minority shareholder."
"I invest in the name of Microsoft, which has great benefits for Sega Bandai~EbookFREE.me~ As long as I invest, I can guarantee that Sega Bandai's stock will rise rapidly. At the same time, Sega Bandai can Listed in multiple markets and achieved greater success."
　　 Bill Gates thought he had made concessions, but Ogawa Kung did not think so. Thirty-five percent, he was shocked by the need for so many shares, let alone the right to vote.
　　 In this way, Microsoft will become the largest shareholder of Sega Bandai. When the time comes, Bill Gates will stand up and become the president. Will others support him?
　　Even if he is not the president, he also hopes that Sega Bandai will get better and better. Microsoft is indeed very powerful in the development of software systems, but it can be said that the game industry has no experience at all. How can he rest assured that the company will be handed over to the other party?
　　 What's more, when Microsoft can buy other people's shares, it will slowly become the major shareholder of Sega Bandai and annex this company. This is absolutely not allowed to happen!
　　 "Bill, I'm sorry, I can't agree with you on this condition. But I can tell this to the board of directors and tell all the shareholders that there may be some shareholders who are willing to sell their shares to Microsoft."
　　 In this way, even if Microsoft gets 35 percent of the stock, it will not be able to control it, because the shares of several other people will definitely not be sold, and it is absolutely sky-high to sell.
　　 And he can also take advantage of the opportunity to acquire some shares and increase his stake in Sega Bandai. He paid so much for Sega Bandai, this time he donated 50 billion yen, how can he watch the company become someone else?
　　The two raised their glasses again and stopped talking about this topic, but they had other plans in mind.
