Reborn not to be a simp, the school beauty's whole family goes crazy

With a polite smile still on his face, he spoke first.

"Mr. Chen, your company's cartridge games are very popular in China, and Sega is also very interested in them."

"We are very sincere and are willing to buy out the licenses for these games for one million RMB."

His tone was calm, as if this price was the limit he could offer.

Upon hearing this, the sales department head and three domestic cassette distributors stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.

One million RMB was no small sum at the time; it was enough to allow many people to live a comfortable life.

The sales department head's mouth opened slightly, as if he wanted to say something but was momentarily speechless.

The three cassette dealers looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief.

However, what shocked them even more was that Chen Dong refused without hesitation.

“Mr. Mimura, your offer is far too low.”

Chen Dong's expression was calm, but his tone was as firm as a rock: "You should know that our game has huge potential in the domestic market."

"This price is completely out of line with their value."

"The 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an' series has been praised by players for its unique ancient management gameplay."

"The Elite High School series has attracted a large number of young players with its youth campus theme."

"The popularity of these two games in China continues to rise, and one million is far from enough."

"Not to mention, 'I Run an Inn in Chang'an 2' alone has sold more than one million copies in my country."

Others may not know, but Chen Dong is very clear that this price is just enough to fob off a beggar.

The situation in Japan is completely different from that in China. For a long time to come, Japan will remain in the era of game consoles, even after the information age begins.

Japan has a relatively well-established system, a game market that has been developed for many years, very few instances of piracy, and extremely strict measures are taken against it.

At that time, there was a serious problem of "borrowing" in China.

Mimura Ichiro's smile remained unchanged, but a barely perceptible hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

That smile, like a mask stuck to the face, suddenly developed a crack.

He bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Chen, Sega has strong capabilities in marketing, and this price has fully taken into account various factors."

"We can help your game quickly expand into the Japanese market and gain significant exposure."

"Furthermore, piracy is rampant in your country's market. As a foreign-invested enterprise, we can put pressure on the official authorities for you, effectively helping you protect the copyright of your games and reduce losses."

Chen Dong gently shook his head and proposed his own solution: "Mr. Mimura, I think we can adopt a profit-sharing model."

"It's split 60/40, with 361° taking 60% and Sega taking 40%."

"Given the quality of our game and its popularity in China, this ratio is reasonable."

"We will be responsible for providing high-quality game content, and Sega will leverage your channels and promotional capabilities. Through this collaboration, we can achieve a win-win situation."

Upon hearing this, Mimura Ichiro immediately sat up straight, his smile remaining polite, but his tone became firm.

"Mr. Chen, this profit-sharing ratio is really unreasonable."

"Sega will invest a lot of resources in game promotion and sales, including advertising, channel expansion, after-sales service and so on."

“We have a professional team and a wealth of experience, which requires a huge investment.”

“We deserve a larger share, at least 90%.”

Thus began a fierce bargaining session.

Ichiro Mimura repeatedly emphasized Sega's brand influence, marketing capabilities, and channel advantages in the Japanese market, attempting to persuade Chen Dong to increase Sega's revenue share.

As he spoke, he took out some materials that showed Sega's past successes in promoting games.

And market research reports, proving Sega's strong strength in the gaming market.

"Mr. Chen, as you can see, the games we promoted previously achieved extremely high sales in a short period of time. This is a testament to our strength."

"Give your game to us, and it will definitely shine."

His eyes revealed confidence, as if he could already see Chen Dong being persuaded.

Chen Dong, on the other hand, argued his case forcefully, elaborating on the unique appeal of his game, its positive market response in China, and its future development potential.

Chen Dong opened the prepared file and displayed data such as user reviews and purchase growth curves for the game.

“Mr. Mimura, as you can see, our game enjoys extremely high user satisfaction in China, and players are spontaneously spreading positive word-of-mouth.”

"Furthermore, we already have follow-up game development plans, which will continuously enrich the game content and attract more players."

"We find it difficult to accept cooperation without a good profit-sharing ratio."

His gaze was fixed firmly on Mimura Ichiro, showing no sign of backing down.

The two sides went back and forth, neither willing to give in, and the heated debate left everyone else present speechless.

The sales staff watched Chen Dong nervously, admiring their boss's persistence while also worrying that the cooperation would fall through.

One of the salespeople whispered to his colleague, "The boss is amazing. He's not intimidated at all by a company as big as Sega."

"However, I really hope the deal can be reached; it's so important for the company."

Another colleague nodded slightly, his eyes full of worry.

The three cassette dealers looked at each other in disbelief; they had never witnessed such intense business negotiations.

One of them whispered, "This negotiation is so exciting. I wonder if it will work out in the end. If it does, we'll be rich."

After a long and intense negotiation, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

"In that case, let's split it 30/70, with 361° taking 30% and Sega taking 70%."

"361 Inc. is only responsible for authorization and dispatching supervisors; all other matters, including sales and production, are handled by Sega."

Chen Dong said that he knew this was a compromise that both sides could accept.

Although a 30% cut is not high, it takes into account Sega's huge investment in promotion and sales, as well as the complex situation in the domestic market.

This plan allows 361° to both guarantee a certain level of revenue and leverage Sega's resources to open up the international market.

Ichiro Mimura's face broke into a bright smile once again, a smile that seemed to have regained its original sincerity.

He nodded quickly: "Mr. Chen, I'm glad we were able to reach an agreement. This is a win-win collaboration."

"We at Sega will do our utmost to promote your game to a wider market."

After reaching an agreement, both parties were very happy and immediately signed the contract.

At the moment of shaking hands, both parties appeared to be smiling.
