Reborn since 1993

Chapter 1303 Eat as much as you can, as long as you don't die from overeating.

Makoto Yamashina has a typical convert mentality. If he was forced to let Toryo Hikvision take over Bandai in order to protect himself and keep his position as the leader, then he was forced to do so.

With the huge success of Pokémon and Pop Mart, Yamashina Makoto has developed a fanatical attitude towards Li Dashan.

Forget about being a traitor to Japan. As far as Makoto Yamashina is concerned, the fact that Bandai has reached its current position, that he has become a focus of praise in the Japanese media, and that his net worth has skyrocketed is enough for him.

Furthermore, if we're really talking about him being a traitor to Japan, all he did was sell a little more of Bandai's shares to Dongling High-Tech. What else is there to say?

How can they compare to those valve families and established conglomerates in Japan? They'd sell anything to America, Japan's powerful backer, and wouldn't even hesitate to sell the entire country.

Listening to the respectful and courteous Makoto Yamashina on the other end of the phone, and knowing that one shouldn't hit a smiling face, especially one with the devout mindset of a pilgrim, Li Dashanren hesitated to hang up for a moment, lest he hurt the feelings of this convert.

Li the philanthropist didn't care how Yamashino was doing with Nippon Benzoin over the years, but every year, he still sent Dongling High-Tech a share of the profits in real money.

"Bandai needs to start production and promotion of Kung Fu Panda merchandise and giant panda-themed products."

Li Dongling said to Yamashina Makoto on the other end of the phone, "Surrounding products are what Bandai is best at. They have much more experience and more advanced technology than domestic companies. In my previous life, Bandai was able to harvest so many customers for so many years because they really had the skills."

The peripheral merchandise was developed by Bandai, who then profited from the sales and distributed the profits to Dongling High-Tech, thus creating a closed loop.

Furthermore, it's Bandai and Nihon Sekkei that are ripping off anime fans all over the world, not Toling High-Tech. If anyone's going to criticize someone, it should be Bandai for being a scoundrel, not Toling High-Tech!

"President Makoto Yamashina, Dongling High-Tech is currently working with Microsoft to develop the Xbox game console. Bandai can package and sell its previous Bandai game console projects to Microsoft."

Furthermore, Bandai Namco can use its intellectual property to develop console games for Microsoft's Xbox!

Li the Philanthropist spoke calmly, but to Yamashina Makoto, these words gave him only one thought: Li the Philanthropist was trying to get Bandai to fleece Microsoft!
Bandai's game console project with Apple was a complete failure and almost bankrupted the company.

Bandai's game consoles are already scrap metal. Selling them to Microsoft is a pure waste utilization. As for whether Microsoft will want Bandai's pile of scrap metal?
With the coordination of Dongling High-Tech, and with Bandai having a reason that Microsoft couldn't refuse, namely, to develop games for Microsoft's Xbox game console!
Microsoft is searching the world for game developers to support its Xbox console, but Sony and Nintendo have very strict control over third-party game developers, so it would be very costly for Microsoft to poach them.

If Bandai Namco, which owns a large number of well-known IPs, were willing to develop console games for Microsoft, Microsoft would definitely be happy to do so, and would even be more than happy to do so.

The Pokémon console game alone would probably be enough to make Microsoft reluctantly acquire Bandai's pile of junk consoles.

"Mr. Li, Bandai knows what to do!"

The phone call was filled with Makoto Yamashina's barely suppressed laughter. Bandai has always coveted the game market, and while they have been developing games for years, it hasn't yet become their most important business.

Now, with the help of Microsoft, Bandai has the opportunity to fully develop its game business. After all, Bandai may not be the most important company for Sony and Nintendo consoles, since there are many companies developing games for these two companies. But for Microsoft, Bandai is probably the biggest name game developer.

"If necessary, Bandai could acquire a game company to increase its strength in the game industry, such as... Namco!"

During the phone call, Li Dongling told Yamashina Makoto that the stronger Bandai is, the more weight it will carry with Microsoft.

As for taking advantage of Microsoft, everyone is doing it. If Dongling Hi-Tech and its subsidiaries in the Dongke Group don't take advantage of it, wouldn't they be too out of touch?
Besides, other companies that take advantage of Microsoft are essentially cheating Microsoft, but the companies in the Dongke Group are different. Although they take advantage of Microsoft, they actually do something!
Even if you take advantage of Microsoft, Microsoft will probably still have to say thank you!

After hanging up the phone, Yamashina Makoto's eyes flickered. He could ignore what other people said, but he regarded Li Dashanren's words as golden rules.

After all, projects like Pokémon, Pop Mart, and Kung Fu Panda have made Yamashino Makoto truly admire Li Dashan's vision.

Since the philanthropist Li instructed Bandai to acquire Namco, Makoto Yamashina believes that Li must have his own reasons.

"Initiate a comprehensive investigation into Namco Corporation!"

Yamashina Makoto picked up the phone and dialed another number.

The entire management team of Bandai also began to mobilize in response to Yamashina Makoto's phone call. The Bandai management team all understood what Yamashina Makoto's phone call meant: expansion!
For a company to become a giant, expansion is almost inevitable. Given Bandai's current valuation, unless it can continuously create projects like Pop Mart, Pokémon, and Kung Fu Panda, its only way to skyrocket its market value is through acquisitions!
Whenever Bandai initiates an acquisition, its market value is bound to skyrocket, and the wealth and status of Bandai's executives will also increase accordingly.

...After hanging up the phone, Li Dongling held the phone in his hand, saying that having Bandai acquire Namco would fill the gap in Bandai's game development capabilities.

After acquiring Namco, Bandai became a Japanese IP giant, possessing a complete industry chain encompassing animation, games, toys, arcade games, and more.

In its previous life, Bandai stopped after acquiring Namco, but now that Bandai belongs to Toryung High-Tech, once it starts acquiring other companies, it won't stop easily.

From Japanese game manufacturers to overseas toy giants, Bandai can only swallow them all, and they won't back down!

Anyway, Bandai is listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, so in the end, Japanese investors will foot the bill. Even if things go wrong, Japanese investors will still be there to bail them out.

As long as they don't burst, they should acquire as many companies as possible. If Bandai announces that it will become the world's largest gaming giant and the world's largest toy giant, given the Japanese people's dream of becoming a world power, wouldn't that excite the Japanese investors to scream?

Let the Japanese leeks pay for Bandai's dream, draw up a big pie in the sky for the Japanese, and you won't have to worry about not having the support of the Japanese people.

If it succeeds, Bandai can say that it has fulfilled a dream for Japanese fans.

If it doesn't work out, then it can only be said that it was bad luck and that heaven did not bless future generations.

For Dongling Hi-Tech, supporting Bandai's acquisition strategy is a win-win situation. Since Dongling Hi-Tech won't ultimately foot the bill, it will be the biggest beneficiary if the deal goes through. Why not?

Pingyang is located at the junction of Shangguan Economic Development Zone and Airport Zone. For the "old Pingyang people", three years ago it was still a barren land or farmland in their memory.

It wasn't exactly a desolate place, but it was definitely a suburb of Pingyang, and people from Pingyang rarely came here.

Now, this area of ​​land has become a highly sought-after location!
It's not just local companies in Pingyang and Hanxi vying for land in this area; even state-owned factories and central enterprises from outside are competing for it.

Companies that are currently among the top-ranked domestic developers, including Vanke, China Overseas, Wantong, and China Resources, as well as companies from Hong Kong such as New World Development, Henderson Land, Sun Hung Kai Properties, and the Li family of Cheung Kong Holdings, are all vying for land here.

The road with the fiercest competition and record-breaking land auction prices is called Dongke Avenue!

The land surrounding Dongke Avenue is so valuable that any plot put up for auction will attract fierce competition from all sides.

The Pingyang Municipal Government's slogan for promoting Dongke Avenue is to develop it into a trillion-yuan industrial avenue!
The reason why Pingyang dares to shout such an almost arrogant slogan on the planning map is simply because the center of Dongke Avenue is the new global headquarters of Dongling High-Tech!

Right now, the Pingyang municipal government is too timid and hesitant to take bold action. In a few years, if Dongling High-Tech continues its rapid development, the Pingyang municipal government might have to change the slogan of Dongke Avenue to "Trillion-Yuan Industrial Avenue"!

Today, television stations, newspapers, and various media outlets from Pingyang, including those from Hanxi, have all gathered here. Among them, the two leading television stations are Hanxi Provincial Television and Pingyang Television.

Hanxi Provincial TV and Pingyang TV are secretly competing. There's no other reason than Pingyang TV's treacherous intention to try and become a satellite channel.

Two tigers cannot share one mountain. If Pingyang TV successfully goes satellite, will it still be considered a subordinate of Hanxi Provincial TV?

Once the satellite launch is successful, Pingyang TV is expected to start to listen to the propaganda of Hanxi Provincial TV instead of following orders, which will naturally make Hanxi Provincial TV unhappy.

Moreover, there is another reason: once Pingyang TV successfully goes satellite, the advertising revenue resources in Hanxi Province will no longer belong exclusively to Hanxi TV. A portion of these revenues will have to be shared with Pingyang TV, which further fuels Hanxi TV's dissatisfaction.

Despite the dissatisfaction, the provincial TV station from Hanxi is here today. Dongling High-Tech's new global headquarters has begun its relocation, which is the most important news in Hanxi today, and the provincial TV station must report it.

The global headquarters of Dongling Hi-Tech is not only important to Pingyang, but also crucial to Hanxi. We cannot allow Dongling Hi-Tech to move its headquarters away; this is the wish of everyone in Hanxi!
Only if Dongling High-Tech's headquarters stays in Hanxi can we discuss things like taxation and job allocation. Once the Dongling headquarters moves away, all our efforts will be wasted.

A row of cameras are already pointed at the "Oriental Tower" in the Dongling Hi-Tech Global Headquarters Industrial Park. This is the core building of Dongling Hi-Tech's new headquarters. Around the Oriental Tower, multiple functional areas and buildings are scattered throughout the Dongling Hi-Tech Global Headquarters Industrial Park.

　Sorry for the late update. I've been very busy these past few days, so updates might not be on time. Please forgive me. I had some things to take care of at home. I'm really sorry.
