Chapter 1071 I Also Have a Classic Game!

Having achieved its goal and holding the rights to adapt "Resident Evil" in its hands, Nintendo is happy.

Their opponents, to be precise, a group of Japanese game companies that have been suppressed by Nintendo, began to panic.

On the night when Nintendo announced that they had obtained the global rights to Kirin Game Company's "Super Mario Bros.", Sega's representative and general manager Satoru Okubo, who negotiated cooperation with Yin Jun last time, led teams from several major companies to work overnight. Came to Xiangjiang.

When they arrived in Xiangjiang, they did not rest first. Instead, under the leadership of the staff from the Hong Kong office, they went straight to a large electronic game arcade that was open 24 hours a day, and spent a lot of money to monopolize two "Super Mario Bros." game consoles. I played for more than two hours.

Then they returned to the hotel and started the meeting. After falling asleep at midnight, they arrived at Yin Jun's office on Broadcasting Road early the next morning.

"Master Jun, you are not being kind this time!" Because it was a pleasure to work with Yin Jun, Okubo Satoru and Yin Jun were not so polite when talking, and they complained for a while: "Is it because we are not sincere enough? We have always cooperated. I'm very happy. We will certainly not give you a lower price than Nintendo, so why did you suddenly give them a cheaper price?"

It was very difficult for Okubo Satoru to refrain from saying "Don't you and Hiroshi Yamauchi have a grudge?"

When their Japanese businessmen are doing business outside, they will never speak ill of their own people. All competitions are open to the public. Even more often, everyone participates in the competition together and advances and retreats together.

This kind of spirit of "unity among domestic businessmen" is what Yin Jun has always admired.

Because even in the Chinese business world in 2020, people who are trying to undermine each other are trying to undermine each other. If I don’t buy it, you won’t be able to buy it. Why should I let you? There are simply too many entrepreneurs and companies with this kind of mentality. went!

That's why the Japanese have been able to control iron ore pricing for decades, while our scattered steel alliance can only be an important reason for being forced to accept price manipulation by others.

Otherwise, if you switch to the Japanese, they are the world's largest demander of iron ore. They will definitely be able to get together and severely suppress the price!

Among them, there will never be any idiotic and dirty behavior of a large state-owned enterprise buying iron ore at a high price and then selling it to the small and medium-sized steel mills at a higher price to earn the price difference to make up for the losses!

Once upon a time, this kind of business spirit of working hard to achieve unity was also prevalent in China.

However, in the past three hundred years, these fine ancient traditions have slowly disappeared, which made Yin Jun sigh.

For example, now, Yin Jun knows that Okubo Satoru is definitely not here to grab the contract. With Okubo Satoru, there will never be a situation where "we will increase the price to buy your copyright, and you break the contract with Nintendo."

It's not just Okubo Satoru. If it is the Sega Alliance that makes the negotiations this time, when Nintendo comes, it is also impossible to destroy the agreement that has been reached.

Okubo came to his senses not for the past, but for the future.

Sure enough, before Yin Jun could speak, Okubo Satoru continued, "Master Jun, I know you are a genius. Did you create "Super Mario Bros." a long time ago? According to your idea I am used to it, and now I must have a third idea from Kirin Games. You see, Nintendo has taken the lead this time. Can our companies also talk to you about this third game?"

Yin Jun burst into laughter, "Mr. Okubo, do you know how President Yamauchi left Xiangjiang? He left with great resentment! Don't look at how much they get now, in fact they paid more !”

While speaking, Yin Jun handed over a stack of documents on the table, "The price is written on it. I can't disclose the specific patent authorization, but you can take a look at these simple summaries."

Okubo Satoru took it with both hands and quickly opened it, frowning as he read it. After he finished reading it, of course he smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Hiroshi Yamauchi is worthy of being the overlord of the Japanese video game industry. His courage and determination are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people!

Not only was the price of US$500 million directly more than double what the Sega Alliance paid for "Xiangjiang Cube", but it even gave away so much of its own core patents.

There is also Game&Watch, a handheld game console. Sega and other companies were originally chasing after the handheld game console segment. However, they were lucky enough to allow Kirin Game Company to use the Game&Watch design language. This is equivalent to Kirin Game Company. When it comes to handheld consoles, Sega is already ahead of them at the very beginning.

Of course, Okubo Satoru was even more amazed by Yin Jun's methods.

Everyone knows that the cross-key design was designed under the leadership of Gunpei Yokoi. As soon as the Nintendo Game&Watch was launched, many players were amazed by the convenient and fast cross-key design. Sega and others were even more jealous.

What I didn't expect was that Yin Jun got the cross-key patent in the end, not Nintendo, which originally designed it. What else can you say about Yin Jun other than describing him as a genius?

Okubo Satoru is not as entangled as Nintendo. He also knows clearly that the design of the cross key will definitely not be leaked from within Nintendo. Yin Jun has been working on video games for a long time. If he can think of this aspect in advance, then It’s not surprising, because Yin Jun is a genius!

Before Okubo Satoru came to Xiangjiang, he had actually received the news and knew that Nintendo had made a huge concession.

When Sega, Konami, and Namco were discussing together, they also guessed that Nintendo must have exchanged patents in addition to money. Otherwise, with Yin Jun's temper, "Resident Evil" would not be so easy to give out. ——Last year, Okubo Satoru had already tested Yin Jun, and was willing to obtain the game adaptation rights of "Resident Evil" with a 20% profit share, but Yin Jun refused without even thinking about it or talking about it.

Everyone knows that Yamauchi Hiroshi has a bad temper, but Okubo Satoru knows that Yin Jun actually has the pride of being a genius in his heart.

The family is burdened with a huge debt of 3.7 billion U.S. dollars, and the annual repayment interest is as high as 300 million U.S. dollars, but it still develops normally without changing its expression. Such a mentality cannot be moved by money.

Therefore, during the emergency meeting, Okubo Satoru emphasized this point.

"What can we rely on to impress Yin Jun this time?"

The Japanese are very stubborn and rigid in doing things, but Japanese businessmen are very flexible when making business strategies.

What do companies like Sega have?

What does Yin Jun need most?

They have considered these issues emphatically, and of course they have also considered and discussed patents.

Not only in Japan, they discussed this issue again in the hotel early this morning.

Especially in the last contract for "Xiangjiang Cube", Yin Jun emphasized "retaining the copyright of game methods other than arcades and home game consoles." They were considering whether Yin Jun also had any considerations about gaming.

So, when he saw that Nintendo had made such a big concession, Okubo Satoru was glad that he had made preparations.

"Master Jun, you also know that our three families are not as powerful as Nintendo, so we will definitely not be able to give more of the things they can give." Putting down the documents, Okubo Satoru looked at Yin Jun sincerely and said: "But please You believe that the three of us are very sincere in cooperating with Qilin Game Company.

When we do business, we always adhere to the principle of mutual assistance and mutual benefit. We will not just make money ourselves, regardless of our partners. Now that you are ready to develop your own handheld game console, Sega, Namco and Konami will definitely support you fully! After I return, I will immediately hold a meeting to discuss and list the patents we can provide for you to choose from. "

Okubo Satoru is so wise that Yin Jun's words are useless.

The young man smiled and said: "Mr. Okubo, I appreciate your decisiveness. Then I will make it clear that the patent authorization you grant must be a core patent, the kind that can be purchased everywhere on the market. But it doesn’t show your sincerity... For specific categories and projects, you can refer to Nintendo."

Okubo Satoru sighed secretly in his heart, but on the surface he became more sincere: "I understand, we will let Mr. Jun see our sincerity!"

"good!"

Yin Jun nodded, "Then, the rewards I give you will also satisfy you... Have you played "Super Mario Bros."?"

"Yes! Excellent! What a creative genius!" Okubo Satoru expressed his appreciation without hesitation.

"If you satisfy me, the game you get will definitely not be inferior to Super Mario Bros., and it will even have an advantage in the market segment." Yin Jun said slowly.

Okubo Satoru was shocked, and then he slowly lowered his head: "I understand! Three days, please give us three days, I will get everything done!"

Seeing Okubo Satoru walking out in a hurry, Yin Jun smiled faintly.

Although there are not many games in later generations that can be compared with "Super Mario Bros.", there are still a few.

For example, the two heroes who are covered in muscles, wearing turbans, carrying submachine guns and machine guns, and defeating enemies all the way, their status in the hearts of game fans is also very sacred.

This game has also been tested for decades and is still popular!

In 2020, among the few ancient handheld games, as long as there is "Super Mario Bros.", it will generally exist.

correct.

It is the classic shooting game that makes boys excited - "Contra"! !
