Chapter 106: Surrender without Betrayal First Update

Regarding this Miyazaki, Zuo Zhen now has his own judgment.

Guys who like to cut corners halfway, and don't have much ability to know people and make good use of them.

However, it may also be his own stereotype, but as long as it happens to him, he has basically defined people like Miyazaki.

At first, I found Akira Nakamura myself, but at that time I had no other choice.

On the contrary, at that time, Akira Nakamura agreed to temporarily skip the royalty model to help him launch the game. Akira Nakamura also took the risk at the beginning.

If his game performance is not good, then he will also bear certain responsibilities.

Now that this old boy named Miyazaki sees the benefits, he posts them up, and Zuo Zhen's impression score of him has begun to drop infinitely.

As for Nakamura, this is the most worthy partner. If someone is willing to help you when everything is uncertain and there are still certain risks, then it proves something.

By now, it is no longer a simple cooperation, but can be upgraded to a partnership.

Zuo Zhen still maintains the basic bottom line.

In Zuozhen's eyes, agreeing with Miyazaki's opinion is basically equivalent to a kind of betrayal, which has exceeded Zuozhen's principles.

Even though this kind of betrayal is very common in the business environment, Zuo Zhen really can't do this kind of thing himself.

Akira Nakamura is a worthy partner.

Betray a partner once, and future partners can betray you without any moral consequences.

Therefore, it is impossible for Zuozhen to agree to Miyazaki's request.

"Miyazaki, if this cannot be discussed properly, I will not launch this game on the NGS platform."

Miyazaki is confident from beginning to end.

Because he felt that he had absolute control.

With his rights and the industry status of NGS itself, Zuo Zhen had no reason to refuse.

The benefits I can give you are definitely more than Akira Nakamura.

Why are you so stupid?

"Teacher Zuo Zhen, I hope you will think carefully. Do you want to oppose the managing director of a top gaming platform?"

"You are not my director." Zuo Zhen shrugged, looking indifferent.

"If you can't log in to NGS, then your efforts in this game are basically in vain, and your future will be gloomy."

How about a good gaming machine?

Sega is a living example.

There are good game consoles, but no good games.

There are countless examples from later generations.

But Miyazaki couldn't think that far ahead.

The game industry has only just started a few years ago, and there are too few things that have happened to provide much reference.

And Zuo Zhen is a young man of the 21st century who has witnessed the golden and platinum age of video games with his own eyes.

He has played Red Dead Redemption, which cost over 800 million US dollars, and he has also played small independent games that were painstakingly run by just one person.

He actually watches the ups and downs of the gaming industry the most.

Miyazaki really can't imagine that their NGS advantage is so great. They will definitely continue to maintain this dominance in the future. Who can be more powerful than them?

In response to Miyazaki's semi-threatening words, Zuo Zhen smiled: "You don't have to worry about my future. NGS is only temporarily in the lead, and it doesn't really sit back and relax. And let me put it bluntly, there is no game led by Akira Nakamura. Development team, NGS is nothing."

"So, you just need to give me a clear answer now. Can my King of Fighters be logged in on NGS? As for soliciting this kind of behavior, don't talk about it anymore. It's just a waste of time. I can't agree to it."

Miyazaki darkened.

He felt that Zuo Zhen seemed to really regard himself as an indispensable existence.

You just made a few games that seemed to do well.

Do game developers have similar ideal ideas as cultural creators? That kind of person is really not suitable to survive in a business environment, so now I have to make Zuo Zhen, a young man, realize the problem.

"Director Miyazaki and Teacher Zuozhen, your tea has been brewed. Please enjoy it. I will leave now."

Another clerk who had been staying in the conference room brought the tea cups to Miyazaki and Zuo Zhen and then left the conference room as if running away.

He had better not hear too much about this kind of contention, otherwise he might suffer along with it.

After he goes out, he will definitely say nothing and know nothing.

Miyazaki glanced at the staff who left, his expression getting colder and colder: "Teacher Zuozhen, what I can tell you now is that it is absolutely impossible this year. There are many problems with your game. We need to verify it carefully and not destroy our NGS." reputation."

"That's not possible? Then I understand, I'll take this game away."

After Zuo Zhen finished speaking, he made a move to leave.

If this family doesn't work, I might as well go to another family.

He had long since given up on hanging from a tree.

It’s just that now NGS is indeed the most influential and the most prosperous. Other game console companies can only be regarded as eating vegetable soup next to NGS, not even leaving any money for other game companies.

Dominating more than 90% of the game market, this is the confidence that people like Miyazaki dare to speak.

But this situation cannot last long.

Miyazaki opened his mouth, and then tried to calm down and said, "Teacher Zuozhen, I am sincere. There is no need for you to persist like this. I am not trying to make you an enemy of Nakamura."

"What you want me to do now is almost as good as being an enemy of Nakamura. Okay, I'm leaving."

Zuo Zhen had already stood up from his seat and left directly.

"Teacher Zuozhen!" Miyazaki shouted, as if he wanted to scare Zuozhen in this way.

But Zuo Zhen didn't care about this guy at all.

Do you think I am also Japanese?

The hierarchical relationship here is very strict. If you are in a high position, you can do whatever you want to your subordinates, but I am not under your jurisdiction.

Even if I am under your jurisdiction, can I still make myself unhappy?

"You can use the quota of two million cassettes at your disposal, and I can help you reduce the NGS share, so you can get more benefits."

Miyazaki had already stated this condition through gritted teeth.

He felt that he was already sincere.

But Zuo Zhen didn't seem to hear it and was already preparing to open the door of the conference room.

"Teacher Zuo Zhen, you don't want to publish your game elsewhere, do you? You'd better not do this. NGS is very cruel to traitors."

Zuo Zhen: "???"

Zuo Zhen's forehead was full of question marks.

Good guy, have you become a traitor?

When did you say you wanted to become an NGS person?

It was just a partnership from the beginning.

Even Akira Nakamura only cooperated and never said he wanted to become an NGS person.

"If you want to publish this game on other platforms, NGS will directly block you. All your games will not be published on NGS, and your previous games will probably not end well either. These you have developed The sequels of game IPs will be severely restricted."

Zuo Zhen shrugged: "I'm sorry, our previous contract didn't include this article, and even if it was, do you think the game IP is more important, or the creativity of the game creation?"

Miyazaki was stunned.

He originally thought that this was a bargaining chip for him to manipulate Zuo Zhen.

But people don't seem to care at all.

Is there no relevant clause on IP restrictions in the contract?

It shouldn't be.

This matter was actually a small condition requested by Zuo Zhen. Akira Nakamura briefly discussed it with the contract department in the early stage and did not mention it too much in this regard.

In fact, generally small companies like Zuo Zhen will impose several additional terms, binding IP and developers.

Let developers who are still in the initial stage be tightly tied to the NGS chariot.

And NGS will use small favors to trick them into signing such unequal terms.

But Zuo Zhen never agreed to such terms from the beginning.

The only one restricted should be Contra.

IP that is restricted for 20 years cannot be developed outside NGS at will.

But that is actually dispensable. Even if there is no such restriction, Zuo Zhen will probably gradually ignore Contra in the future.

That can only be regarded as the early starting stage, a stepping stone.

When the role of a stepping stone is over, it is of little value.

But in the final analysis, the old boy Miyazaki was trying to get himself in trouble and wanted to use force to suppress him into submission. He remembered this clearly.

Just wait for me, I won't give up.

I would never pass up the opportunity to put a noose around your neck.
