Jester has long considered Americans’ love for competitive games. Although football is not the number one sport for Americans, the Nintendo "Football" that Jester made copycats still had very good results after the release of the United States.

The total sales volume is more than 1.5 million sets, and Nintendo's "Football" also sold for 400,000 or 500,000 sets in the United States.

Moreover, competitive games are basically fixed in gameplay, and it is difficult to make great breakthroughs in a short period of time, so the foundation of this type of game is the most critical. This is why many game companies often invest in the development of shooting games and rpg games, but rarely launch new series of competitive games.

Because the gameplay of competitive games was established before the game was born, no matter how you change it, it was nothing more than those gameplay, and you couldn't get any new ideas. Therefore, you can only make breakthroughs in the picture, images and even the engine.

Although this is simple, the question is, since the production has no breakthroughs than those old series, why do you have to play with the old series?

If you want to do this kind of game, you have to do it as soon as possible.

Jester did not intend to continue to launch games like the eight-bit computer, but at the latest next year, or early, you can launch your own new sixteen-bit host before the end of this year. At that time, the functions of sixteen-bit hosts were available. Although it could not perfectly simulate 3d, it would be no big problem to perform pseudo-3d production.

At this time, ea had not received the authorization from fifa, so he took this opportunity to get the power to name fifa from fifa. Although it was not a big problem to not get the hand, he thought that later the fifa series could surpass the pes series and press the pes series on the ground to fill it with old fists, fifa had made great efforts in it.

This thing is better in your own hands.

However, Jester is not interested in making such games himself. He has no idea of ​​making large-scale games now. He just wants to make some games with special features. For example, the home-based game he made before, now he remembers another game that has a lot to do with football, but it cannot be said to be a sports competitive game.

This is a very niche, football simulation game called "Football Manager".

However, Jester also knew that it was particularly difficult to make such a game, because the reason why Si was able to make this game later was because they had a free scouting system all over the world to provide them with intelligence.

Of course, Si's huge scouting network is not abbreviated overnight. When they just made this game, the data in it also relied on the personal preferences and speculations of the designers. It was not until the seventh or eighth generation, or even tenth generations that this series of games became more and more complete with the addition of the increasingly large scouting team.

It also makes games of the same type have almost no ability to compare with them.

It is worth mentioning that twenty years later, I was a game company under Sega. It was unknown when it was acquired by Sega. Or whether it was Jester, which was funded by Sega. Many people thought that Sega withdrew from the game market after the ps2 era failed. In fact, this was not the case. They just stopped making home consoles. They continued to make games and arcades.

For example, the famous "Like Dragon" series.

The meeting with Ferguson was very short. After all, he was the team's head coach. At that time, he had a tough battle to play in two days. As the head coach, he had a lot of things to consider. Claudia was also responsible for the negotiations with Edwards about the acquisition of Manchester United, and Jester was only responsible for paying the money.

Edwards and Claudia's father have a good relationship and are both old nobles. He also likes Manchester United very much, but now Manchester United's performance makes him sad. The team's attack on him is not much less than that of Virgin. It's not that he will lose interest in Manchester United in this way, but if someone acquires Yu Ji, he will not disagree desperately.

Because the Premier League had not yet been established at this time, the current top league in England is still called the English League One. Maybe people who don’t know what it is just a name? In fact, the biggest change from the English League One to the Premier League is that it has many names, but a change in the business operation model. This is too complicated, so I won’t start with the joke.

It only needs to know that before the Premier League was established for commercial promotion, the commercial value of the English League, which was suspended for five years, was basically not worth mentioning. Twenty years later, even the relegated Premier League teams could get 20 to 30 million pounds of TV broadcasting share, but in this era, even if they buy Liverpool, they would probably not be able to use 50 million pounds.

Most team owners in this era do not expect to make much profit from the team, especially those like Manchester United, who have a brilliant history, but their current results are similar to those of Xiang. It is really difficult for club owners to ensure investment and make money from it.

But if you don’t make money, you can’t say it’s okay to make some money from alcohol.

Moreover, in addition to the team's troublesome situation recently, other industries he operates have also encountered considerable crises and urgently needs some funds to reverse them. The amount of money is very large, and it is not enough to rely solely on loans, so selling Manchester United has become his best choice.

Moreover, he has this relationship with Claudia.

Claudia did not tell Edwards that the person he wanted to acquire was Jester. She just said that she was very interested in Manchester United. She knew that it would be impossible for an old nobility like Edwards to sell the always-traditional English team to an American.

It’s not that Edwards himself disagrees, but that he doesn’t want to bear the infamy.

If he dares to do this, then what is waiting for him will inevitably be the ending of being scolded by fans, and there will be no second ending at all.

So, he only needs to know, and only wants to know that it is Claudia who comes to buy Manchester United. As for whether there is anyone behind Claudia, he is too lazy to know who it is. But what he is sure of is that this time the purchase of Manchester United was definitely not done by Claudia, who he has been familiar with since childhood.

Because the simplest thing is, Manchester United's price is not cheap. Although his performance is not good now, such a large investment is a good choice in other places, but investing in a football team is not a good choice, because the profits that football can make to investors are too small.

Second, as far as he knows, Claudia is not a Manchester United fan.

Finally, although Claudia came forward to talk to him about this matter, the acquisition entity was indeed a newly established company with confidential information and no public announcement. Claudia is just a partner of the company. Of course, Edwards is not a fool. Although Claudia did not tell him clearly, he could also guess who had the intention to acquire Manchester United.

After all, the one behind Claudia has told him more than once that he is a Manchester United fan.

Acquiring a club is not something that can be done with just a few words. The various negotiations involved are quite complicated. Jester does not have this experience, and American lawyers rarely have this kind of experience in acquiring British clubs, so he handed over all the matters about acquiring Manchester United to Claudia and returned to the United States first.

As for when the negotiations can be made, according to Edwards, the team is now in a critical period, and the matter of his plan to sell the team must not be leaked, so the specific negotiations need to be carried out as the end of the season is approaching.

Otherwise, according to Manchester United's current ranking in the English League One, once the matter of his plan to sell the team is exposed, then Manchester United will be completely collapsed and eventually relegated in the remaining half of the season.

As for Ferguson's fate?

Edwards was still a little hesitant. He knew that Ferguson was an extremely outstanding coach. If he didn't sell Manchester United, he would definitely continue to give Ferguson a chance. But now... After thinking for a long time, Edwards still said at his last meeting with Claudia before the official negotiations, please keep Ferguson's coaching position and give him at least two seasons to prove his advice.

In fact, Edwards was also a little bit of his feelings. He himself didn't think the other party could agree. After all, the other party didn't know Ferguson very well and knew his abilities. Now he needed time to pinch the entire team into a fist. He had been doing this for two years and was about to succeed. If he fired him, all his efforts would be wasted.

But those who came to acquire Manchester United didn't know this. What they saw was that under Ferguson's leadership, Manchester United's results are now so bad that they can't be worse.

However, what surprised Edwards was that after he made this suggestion, Claudia really agreed decisively, without any dragging on it, and Claudia did not hide it. Neither she nor the people behind her had any opinions on Ferguson's continued coaching position in Manchester United.

Of course, Jester cannot have any objection to Manchester United's greatest coach in history, because he is still hoping to become the greatest chairman in Manchester United's history.

But to Jester's surprise, on the second day after he returned to the United States, an applicant whom he had never expected came to the door. When he received a call from the front desk of the company, he said that a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old came to apply for a game designer and insisted on meeting him, he was still a little unhappy.

After all, I am not something that anyone can see whenever I want to see it. However, after the staff at the station said the young man's name, Jester's face immediately showed a strange look. He himself did not expect that the young man he had not contacted for a long time actually met the agreement they had made when they first met.
