Chapter 111 Please, First Update

Zuo Zhen went to Japan Electric during the day and returned directly to the hotel in the evening.

On the day the contract was negotiated, Japan Electric's gaming department gave him a very detailed PCE performance list of the new game console. Zuo Zhen simply started studying the performance list in the taxi back to the hotel.

This thing is indeed a 16-bit console, but not quite.

The graphics processor part is 16-bit, but for cost and other considerations, the central processor is only 8-bit, and its performance is somewhat reduced.

The graphics processor is qualified, but the CPU and memory are slightly worse, and only the cassette version is currently available, which cannot handle large-capacity content.

It is probably a bit difficult to launch a full version of The King of Fighters on this machine, but it will definitely be much better than NGS.

However, the specific details will have to be studied carefully when we return to the hotel.

Returning to the hotel lobby, Zuo Zhen took the information and came to the elevator door. At this time, a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties also walked to the elevator door. When he saw Zuo Zhen, he smiled politely and nodded.

Zuo Zhen smiled back, and then continued to look through the PCE game console information in his hand.

"Um, please excuse my presumption, are you Teacher Zuo Zhen?"

The middle-aged man in his forties seemed to want to confirm something at first. He first glanced at the information Zuo Zhen was holding, and then finally took the initiative to ask Zuo Zhen for confirmation.

Zuo Zhen came to his senses after being called out and looked at the middle-aged man next to him in confusion.

"My name is Zuo Zhen, who is you?"

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Zuozhen, my name is Gao Cunxiong. I am the director of the home entertainment game console department of Sega Entertainment. Nice to meet you."

Oops.

I haven’t found it yet, but Sega’s game director has come to find me?

This was a bit beyond Zuo Zhen's expectations.

But when I think back to Zuo Zhen, I understand that yesterday Kenji Ozawa strongly recommended Sega to himself and generously admitted that his family has a close relationship with Sega. This is to recommend talents to partners.

Then Ozawa Kenji probably contacted Sega after he left, and then recommended him.

Kenji Ozawa is really a warm-hearted person. Let’s treat him to a big meal in two days, and the new games will be arranged by BEEP in time.

Zuo Zhen also stretched out his hand and shook it.

This person obviously came here with full sincerity, so you have to take it seriously.

Zuo Zhen said: "It's not convenient to talk in detail here, let's go to my room."

Gao Cunxiong smiled: "That's the best. Teacher Zuo Zhen, please go to the elevator first."

Komura's posture was very low, and his already good attitude toward Zuo Zhen was a bit too much, and his attitude was extremely friendly.

By the way, his surname is Gaocun, and there is Nakamura over there at NGS. These two people are probably not born in two villages on the same mountain, right?

Entering the room, Gao Cun was very straightforward and said with a little affection: "Teacher Zuo Zhen, we are very eager to have game producers like you publish games on our platform, which can give our platform more voice. "

"So, please!"

Gao Cunxiong's attitude was extremely sincere, and he just wanted to invite Zuo Zhen with a ninety-degree bow.

But that would have a significant impact on the minister's style, and he certainly can't do it to that extent.

But even with the current attitude, the proposal should be nothing more than that, right?

This sincerity obviously goes without saying.

This time Zuo Zhen didn't intend to put his eggs in one basket, so it was natural to agree to the other party.

He originally planned to go to Sega headquarters tomorrow to discuss it in detail, but today he took the initiative to come by himself, which would save trouble.

But it's one thing to agree, but it's another thing when it comes to sharing.

First of all, Sega definitely can't ask for that disgusting royalty system, and it won't be there.

Secondly, Zuo Zhen directly expressed that he had negotiated with Nippon Electric for a 30-70 share. This was not negotiable, and if Sega wanted to be exclusive, it would have been 19, and at worst it could not be lower than 28.

In fact, Zuo Zhen and Nippon Electric were talking about 46 to 400 yuan, and the exclusive version was 28 to 28 yuan.

But here you have to charge a little more harshly.

Komura didn't hesitate much in this regard and quickly agreed, since he didn't dare to ask for the royalties in the first place.

If they dare to ask game producers for royalties, no one will be willing to release games on the Sega platform.

The second is the share. Takamura promised a 30-70 share. As for the exclusive 19, he could not guarantee it. It was just that he wanted Zuo Zhen to develop a sequel to the previous work, not The King of Fighters.

Takamura Yu already knew about The King of Fighters from Kenji Ozawa, and Kenji Ozawa highly recommended this game, so he probably had some idea in his mind.

But he still hoped for more.

This Zuo Zhen can't guarantee 100%. He can only promise to make a similarly popular game. Other sequels will depend on the situation.

Zuo Zhen has to retain some bargaining power. Even if he is sure that there will be a sequel, he still has to be conservative.

At the same time, Zuo Zhen also proposed that the King of Fighters be released on Sega's arcade.

King of Fighters paired with an arcade machine, this should be considered the ultimate match. Only with a joystick can the King of Fighters have a soul.

Using buttons to perform tricks is obviously not as good as using a joystick.

There is no way to guarantee this for Takamura Yu. The arcade has a department in charge of arcades and he can't reach out, but he can recommend it.

After talking about this, the only thing left is to sign the contract, but it is definitely not possible to sign the contract in the hotel, so we can only go to Sega tomorrow to discuss it in detail, but before that, Komura Yu really wants to see what Zuozhen has just developed. The King of Fighters.

He had already learned about this game from Kenci Ozawa, and Kenci Ozawa had almost praised this game to the sky. Komura's curiosity was also directly filled, and he wanted to know what this game looked like.

And didn’t Zuo Zhen want to release this game on arcades? He could decide on home consoles, but on the arcade side he had to see the actual game before considering how to recommend it to the people in charge of the arcade department.

If it's really fun, he wouldn't mind signing an exclusive, even if it's a one-nine draw.

Komura Yu is a real game development practitioner. He has developed many games before, but they were not too popular.

But he can at least analyze different games from a professional perspective.

It’s just that there is no opportunity to show it here in the hotel, and Zuo Zhen is helpless.

Fortunately, it didn't take too long to wait. Gao Cunxiong directly opened another room that night, right next to Zuo Zhen. He had a chat with Zuo Zhen by the way in the evening. He wanted to know more about Zuo Zhen.

The next day, Takamura Yu personally took Zuo Zhen to the Sega headquarters in Kyoto.

This time, there was no need to take the Shinkansen. Takamura Xiong drove here directly and picked Zuozhen in person.
