Chapter 1070 Determined!

December 24th, Christmas Eve.

Since the morning, merchants have entered into a hot celebration promotion.

Santa Claus at Christmas is dressed in red, so it is equally festive for Chinese people who like red, so it is gradually becoming popular in China.

Now it is Xiangjiang and Baodao. After 30 years, it will be the turn of the mainland.

Of course, half of this is due to business hype.

In order to sell their products, they wish they had holidays 365 days a year, so that people would have more desire to buy.

Just like 1111, the most famous online shopping carnival in the future, at first Yin Jun thought it was a Singles' Day unique to Westerners, but he later directed it. This was purely a festival invented by Ma Yun himself.

The most admirable thing is that this festival actually became popular under his leadership, completely surpassing Black Friday and becoming the world's largest shopping festival. So you have to sigh, Ma Yun is indeed an alien. .

Come back to the present.

In addition to the big promotions that merchants are gearing up for today, in the eyes of game fans in Hong Kong, today is also a particularly exciting day.

Because as early as a week ago, advertisements had been posted in various game arcades in Xiangjiang, and they knew that Kirin Game Company would launch a brand new game.

Everyone has always had an attitude of trust in Yin Jun's company.

Kirin Game Company is also an outstanding presence in the hearts of game fans.

Although they have only launched one "Xiangjiang Cube" in so close to a year, the charm of "Xiangjiang Cube" is unstoppable. In addition to being a long-lasting hit in Xiangjiang, this trend has even spread. To the whole world.

Xiangjiang people have seen from Kylin TV programs that in video game arcades in major cities around the world, people are rushing to play "Xiangjiang Cube". Various competitions surrounding "Xiangjiang Cube" are emerging one after another. With registration from big cities, more than 1,000 people even participated, and several TV programs were filmed, which was extremely enjoyable to watch.

Yin Jun is the pride of Xiangjiang, and the first two characters of "Xiangjiang Cube" are Xiangjiang, which means that it is a game made by Xiangjiang people.

Such a game has conquered cities all over the world and has become a resounding game. As a game fan from Hong Kong, how can you not feel proud?

Now that Kirin Games is going to release another game, of course they are looking forward to it very much.

Early, before 9 o'clock, those active gangsters came to the game room in advance and started waiting.

Everyone didn't wait long. Around 9:30, 3,000 units of "Super Mario Bros. 2" were placed in various video game arcades.

A group of members of the Kirin Security Team, who had started trial playing a few days ago, temporarily acted as instructors and began to teach them how to use various skills such as jumping, dodging, spitting bullets, grabbing gold coins, and hitting mushrooms.

The gangsters may not be very good at studies, but when it comes to having fun, they are second to none.

After just watching the instructors play it a few times, they realized some of the tricks inside. If it weren't for the people wearing Qilin Security Team uniforms in front of them, they would have run over and grabbed the machine and started playing.

Fortunately, the instructors didn't particularly want to play these things. Most of their learning was to teach others, so after five or six times at most, they backed away and let the players buy coins and start playing the game.

Because they were here, there were no fights for seats this time, but people also relied on their speed and body shape to hope to grab the seats as quickly as possible.

The remaining players who didn't grab it could only line up at the back while watching the two players who grabbed it and play the game together.

"Jump! Jump quickly..."

"Get away, get away, the turtle is coming!"

"There is a mushroom on the third brick. I just noted it. Push it out quickly. It can grow!"

"Ouch, spitting out bullets, hurry up..."

"Holy shit, you should have jumped for it!"

"Hahaha, it's over! Go away, go away!"

"..."

In the shops in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang, such noisy shouts have been ringing since the game was played and never stopped.

The people from the Qilin security team watched for a while and then left, so there were a lot of fights around these machines.

The reason is very simple. There are those who are impatient and want to play early, but others insist on occupying them; there are also those who give pointers or sarcastic remarks, which makes the people playing the game annoyed and starts a war...

In short, today's game hall is full of smoke and smoke, but no matter how they fight, they don't dare to take out their anger on the game consoles, or fight around the game consoles, otherwise they will be going against everyone who is eagerly waiting to play. You will be crushed by dozens or even hundreds of people.

Judging from such a popular scene, "Super Mario Bros." is considered a success.

Its success is not just because there are very few video games nowadays, and there are not many classic games. More importantly, the content of "Super Mario Bros." is very worthy of consideration. It can be constantly transformed and it is also very smooth to play through. The sense of accomplishment, this novel feeling, comes entirely from the classic nature of the game itself.

It sounds like that too.

No matter how many video games appear in the future, as long as it is a game console like Gameboy, "Super Mario Bros." is definitely an indispensable game. It can be compared with "Tetris" and even greatly exceeds "Tetris" in terms of entertainment. Tetris".

It would be strange if it didn't become popular after it came out.

…

Wandering on the streets of Hong Kong, thinking about the scenes he had just seen, Shigeru Miyamoto suddenly understood why Gunpei Yokoi specifically called him over to watch the grand launch of "Super Mario Bros."

"Miyamoto-kun, I am already an old man in this industry. In the future, Nintendo will still need young people like you to shoulder the responsibility." Gunpei Yokoi walked slowly and spoke in a steady voice: "I am here today. I want you to come here just to show you how powerful the enemy you will face in the future is, and how hard you need to work to open up a world under his shadow."

Shigeru Miyamoto listened silently and did not argue, but there was a look of determination on his face.

Although the "Donkey Kong" game he presided over and designed has achieved very good results, now that Yin Jun's "Super Mario Bros." is released, it can certainly be judged. The two are not on the same level at all.

But Shigeru Miyamoto was not disappointed. He knew that he was not alone. There were hundreds of Nintendo design team members behind him.

No matter how powerful Yin Jun is, he is only one person. If everyone works hard together, they will definitely catch up with him, or even surpass him!

"Through this negotiation, although we at Nintendo have suffered a lot of losses, we can still consider it as borrowing the advantages of Kirin Game Company to a certain extent." Yokoi Gunpei said, "Now you just watch carefully. These people in Xiangjiang are obsessed with it. When our next game comes out, you will try to bring it to Xiangjiang, so that people in Xiangjiang will also be crazy about it!"

"yes!"

Shigeru Miyamoto knew that this was an expectation and a spur to himself from his predecessor and idol.

Only when you know the gap deeply can you work harder to catch up. Failure is not terrible. The most terrible thing is that you don't dare to catch up after failure.

Japan has also received the results of the negotiations that Yokoi Gunpei mentioned. Representative Director Hiroshi Yamauchi has also signed the contract, and Miyamoto Shigeru also knows what is in it.

Yin Jun authorized Nintendo to use the cross-key game button design during the 20-year patent license period. At the same time, he sold "Super Mario Bros." to arcade and home electronic games around the world except Hong Kong, Otai, and Hong Kong for US$500 million. machine rights, but does not include handheld game consoles.

However, if Yin Jun develops a handheld game console and starts selling "Super Mario Bros." games, then Nintendo can also start selling handheld games including "Super Mario Bros."

Nintendo's $500 million will be paid over three years, of which $100 million will be paid when the contract is signed.

In turn, as another aspect of the cooperation, Nintendo authorized Yin Jun to use the design language of Game & Watch, and will license 58 related technology patents to Kirin Game Company.

The cost of technology transfer, after adding the licensing patent fee of the cross key, Kirin Game Company charges US$20 per unit for each handheld game console produced within 10 million units; US$10 per unit for within 30 million units; 50 million and 50 million units. Above, each handheld game console is charged a flat fee of US$6.

These were all things that the two bosses had negotiated before. Yokoi Gunpei relied on his excellent negotiation skills and more promises to finally achieve his original goal.

Nintendo gets priority for game adaptation of "Resident Evil"!

However, the adaptation and development of this game must wait for Yin Jun's permission, that is, if Nintendo's technical level meets Yin Jun's requirements, they can develop it.

In terms of price, Yokoi Gunpei did not negotiate in advance, but only got the result that he would discuss it later when the specific cooperation was carried out.

This made Gunpei Yokoi very regretful. He was a little worried that Yin Jun would raise the price in the future. If we negotiated at this time, even if the price was slightly higher, it would be completely acceptable.

But this is only Yokoi Gunpei's own regret. Both Hiroshi Yamauchi and Shigeru Miyamoto highly appreciate and admire him for overfulfilling the task and not suffering much in Yin Jun's hands.

At least Miyamoto Shigeru now, looking at Gunpei Yokoi who looks resolute and unwilling to admit defeat next to him, has already determined to learn from his predecessors.

Not only in technology development, but also in business negotiations, he also has to learn from his predecessors and work hard throughout his life to gain more benefits for Nintendo! !
