Rebirth 86: I Use Games to Kick Open the Door to the World

Chapter 181 Reality Is a Game First Update

Gao Cunxiong immediately informed Zuo Zhen of the good news.

As long as the president makes the decision, the rest of their management will not have too many opinions.

If the results are not good by then, others will be fired, not the management who let them waver.

In Japan, the president is usually the boss of a company. Board members are more like a collective meeting and participation, and the final decision-making power is still left to the president himself.

In the end, if the results are not good, the president will take the blame and resign, and no one else will be affected.

And now that the president has made a decision, they won't talk nonsense anymore.

It really worked.

Zuo Zhen actually admires Komura Yu's efficiency.

The other party probably paid some price to discuss with people in Japan all night in advance on the same day, and then went back to his company to inform himself of the good news the next morning.

"And Zuo Zhensang, we have passed the rating and decided to make a separate development machine for you in the past few days and provide it for you to develop the latest games. In this way, can you make 16-bit games in advance? Has the game been developed?”

Zuo Zhen nodded: "That's for sure, but now we also have a development kit for PCE game consoles, so you can use that one."

"What's the matter? We also have our own development kit, and we can't let you use someone else's!"

Gao Cunxiong suddenly became anxious.

Does Zuo Zhen mean that he may jump to someone else's game development at any time?

Of course, Zuo Zhen is also a free agent now, and there is no word on which game company he actually belongs to.

It's just that Gao Cunxiong already thinks that Zuo Zhen is providing him with support and services, and he can't do anything on his side.

It's a bit awkward to use someone else's development machine to develop a 16-bit game console, and then sell it on the Sega platform.

And he suddenly remembered something.

Judging from Zuo Zhen's words, he is determined to get into the development rhythm of 16-bit games.

If Sega cannot enter the 16-bit era early, will it put more focus on Nippon Electric's PCE game console?

This is not good news.

Zuo Zhen said nonchalantly: "The development machine does not particularly affect our development efficiency. In short, you should determine the release time of the game console yourself. The sooner the better, under the premise of ensuring the quality of the game console."

"No problem! Absolutely no problem. I have already communicated with our management and we can put it on sale half a year in advance, that is, in April while ensuring quality."

April...is it half a year from now?

This time is almost the same.

"Well, if we advance half a year, the number of games you will have, Zhen-san..."

Zuo Zhen raised three fingers: "At least three games will be guaranteed to be launched on your platform, but I also have conditions."

"What?"

"I want an 80% share, and a new agreement that promises that these first-release games can be added to the sales dividend of the new game console."

Takamura Yu's pupils shrank slightly.

Zuo Zhen's requirements are really very high.

He can only get 20% of Zuozhen's game revenue.

This 20% also includes the funds they gave Zuo Zhen to produce game carriers.

But the good news is that Sega MD began to use optical discs as storage media.

What stands out about this product is that it is large in quantity and cheap, so this part of the cost can be saved a lot.

Forget about the 20% of the income.

Zuo Zhen also hopes to obtain a share of the sales of game consoles through the starting lineup of these games.

If the management knew what Zuo Zhen was thinking now, they would probably jump up and scold him.

"This... I need to have a serious discussion with our people."

"No rush, you can talk slowly, and I can also slowly make games. And I said I will guarantee at least three games with no cap."

At this time, Zuo Zhen had to show his greedy side.

He may not care about money, but if it is about the gaming industry and there are benefits within easy reach, he will fight for it without hesitation.

What he didn't care about was the money that later generations would make through real estate speculation, stock trading and other means.

If he doesn't have much strength, there's nothing wrong with using this to make money, but he has game development concepts for later generations and so many game memories.

Earning huge returns through your field of expertise is far more fulfilling than simply speculating in real estate and stocks.

At this moment, Zuo Zhen seemed to treat reality as a game.

Reality is a game.

At this time, you have to be greedy.

Even if Zuo Zhen asked, he couldn't make the decision right away.

If he were the president, he might consider Zuo Zhen's idea.

But I still have to wait for my president to speak.

After making the decision that day, Sega actually started taking action.

The first is the game console R&D team.

They were informed that day that they needed to speed up development of the console.

This is a matter of racing against time.

Now that a decision has been made, it must be implemented firmly.

The game console development team was stunned.

Originally, their overall rhythm was relatively normal, and they had no problems commuting to and from get off work.

But why did they suddenly say that the game console would be released half a year in advance in the blink of an eye, and they needed to complete the tuning of the game console in two or three months.

They were working easily and suddenly their pressure increased sharply, and they were all in bad condition.

They don't know what they would think if they knew that the culprit of all this was a young man from China.

The top management only needs to issue orders and then ask the people under them to speed up the pace as much as possible.

But they also listened to Zuo Zhen's suggestions.

Quality must also be ensured.

If the quality of the game console itself cannot be guaranteed, then it can be delayed, but there will definitely be a certain market impact at that time.

When Komura returned to the company, he expressed Zuo Zhen's appeal to everyone.

"No! Absolutely not! This Chinese is really too greedy. Thinking that he can get a share of the sales of our game consoles with just a few games, this is simply cannibalizing our interests!"

Several members of the board of directors immediately stood up and jumped on the bandwagon.

Their vital interests are related to the company. If Zuo Zhen wants to take the share, it is equivalent to robbing money from them.

They won't do it.

It's okay to squeeze employees to speed up the pace, and it's okay for Zuo Zhen to get more revenue from his own games, but it's absolutely not okay to steal money from yourself!

With these people taking the lead, other people seemed to be a little moved, feeling that this Chinese man was indeed too exaggerated, and some lions opened their mouths.

You were just a game developer, how come you suddenly look like the other way around and become a real top boss in the game industry?

Even the most powerful game producers don’t have this ability.
