The corner of Li Zetian's mouth rose slightly and he laughed, "Very good! Dongfang Yuqin, let someone speak out. If Bandai does not accept the acquisition, then Bandai's games don't want to enter the Flamingo game platform!!"
Coercion and inducement, do not believe that Bandai will not give in!
Dongfang Yuqin nodded, her eyes narrowed, and said, "Mr. Li, are you sure you want to do this?? Bandai's games are mainly based on the company's cartoon characters, and there are some loyal gamers! For example, the Gundam series of games. ..." After a pause, Dongfang Yuqin continued, "Nintendo has been suppressed at this moment. If Bandai is forced to switch to their side, it may give Nintendo a chance to resist!"
When Li Zetian heard the words, he frowned and remained silent. After a while, he said thoughtfully: "Well, you are right, you can't lose the big because of the small. Well, Bandai is lucky. When Nintendo completely collapses, I will not be sorry. Bandai Corporation is in action!"
"Yeah!" Dongfang Yuqin smiled sweetly and agreed.
For the time being, Bandai will be released first, and Li Zetian urged the acquisition team to fully acquire Childcare first.
10 days later, Baby Boy agreed to Li Zetian's acquisition, investing 600 million US dollars in Baby Boy as Disney and Flamingo Company, and Baby Baby Company sold a total of 60% of the shares!
In fact, Babybo is also trying to win over Disney and Flamingo. With the support of these two companies, Babybo's product line will be much richer.

The second-generation Flamingo game console has been developed for 6 years. In fact, preparations have been started since the development of the Flamingo-1.
After 6 years of sharpening a sword, the development time of the Flamingo-2 game console is quite long, but because of such a long period of development, the Flamingo-2 game console is a classic beyond the times.
The appearance of the Flamingo-2 game console roughly imitates Sony's PlayStation, with little difference, except that it is slightly larger. Of course, there is a big difference in performance, after all, the PlayStation is a 32-bit machine with great 3D graphics, and it was released in 1994, ten years before the Flamingo-2. And Flamingo-2 uses Intel8086 microprocessor, only 16-bit processor, and the memory and resolution are also much smaller. For now, though, it's without a doubt the most advanced home console.
The development environment of Flamingo-2 game console uses C language for the first time, because C language has a rich function library, which is conducive to the development of games.
As for the Flamingo-2, the price is more expensive, at $250. After all, the hardware configuration of this game console is very high. In fact, it costs close to $200 to manufacture, and retailers have to make money, so Flamingo barely makes a lot of money on hardware. Li Zetian was worried about accidents during the transition from game cartridges to game CDs. To be conservative, he chose to sell at a "low price" and occupy the market first!
At 2 pm on November 15th, Flamingo held a product launch conference. The Flamingo-2 game console made its debut at the Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, which shocked the audience and won applause!
The audience watching the press conference in front of the TV was also amazed by the Flamingo-2. The CD game console does look cooler and more dazzling than the cassette game console, with a sense of fashion and technology, which immediately fascinates gamers!
With the release of the new machine, in addition to the sequels of classic games, there are more fun new games, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Squirrel Wars, Rockman, Bomberman, Adventure Island, Street Fighter, etc. , I can't stand it, I can't wait to play it now.
The Flamingo-2 game console was unexpectedly popular. As soon as the press conference ended, countless gamers called the company and wanted to pre-order one.
However, the official release time was set for December 1, 1984, during the Christmas shopping promotion period.
…
At this moment, a gloomy cloud hangs over the interior of Nintendo.
They also saw Flamingo-2 and the game released, and they couldn't help but be deeply shocked.
The new innovative design and super machine performance completely crush the FC.
The FC game console can't even do the Flamingo-1. At this time, the Flamingo-2 is about to be released, and FC will be completely collapsed.
"President Yamauchi, since Flamingo's product launch, FC game consoles and game cartridges on the platform have not been able to sell! Countless players are looking forward to the arrival of December 1st..." An employee said bitterly With a face, he sighed.
This year, the total sales volume of FC has reached 75,000 units. Because the price is too low, Nintendo can't make any money at all. The FC in the warehouse is piled up like a mountain and cannot be sold. In addition, the sales of game cartridges are not optimistic. Coupled with the company's various expenses, Nintendo lost at least $100 million this year!
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow for the weak Nintendo company.
Now, Nintendo's financial statements have not yet come out. As a listed company, if this happens, the stock price will definitely fall like a dog.
Yamauchi really wants to cry now, never expected that the Flamingo company has developed such a powerful game console in such a short period of time, "The Flamingo company may have been developing the Flamingo-2 game console for a long time. It's over..." Yamauchi Pu guessed, and at this moment, his heart suddenly regretted it.
"Although the performance of FC's game console is stronger than that of Flamingo-1, it is weaker than Flamingo-2. It seems that the development of FC is in vain. Nintendo's efforts for many years are all in vain!"
After speaking, Yamauchi drank the glass of sake on the table, his mouth full of bitterness.
"President, are you still insisting on the FC game console business? Staff wages, factories, shops, warehouses, etc. are all a small amount of expenses... FC can't make money and can't make ends meet!"
Yamauchi's brows were deeply furrowed, and it was difficult for him to make a decision for a while. He wanted to give up FC, but he was extremely reluctant.
"Let's take a look at the sales of Flamingo-2 first, and then decide on December 1st!" Yamauchi said.
"Okay, President."
…
Half a month passed in a flash.
On December 1st, the Flamingo-2 was released globally.
It was not yet bright, and the white fog was vast. There were long queues at the door of stores all over the world, and some places even exceeded 100 meters. The scene was really shocking! I heard that some people came to line up at night...
"Can you come earlier?" a player said in an interview with a reporter, "According to Chronos Li's urination, there will definitely be hunger sales again. There are not many Flamingo-2s, so don't buy them now, it will be a long time in the future. Can't get it for a while! If I can't play Flamingo-2, it will drive me crazy! So, I'd rather come to the line early than buy a game console! Hehe, I'll also buy the Flamingo that I just bought this year Bird-1 and game cartridges are also brought in. Flamingo promises that as long as there is no problem with the old machine, it can be traded in for an extra $150, and 5 game cartridges can be exchanged for 1 game CD…”
