I want to make a game

There were almost no thrilling routines in the entire negotiation process. The two parties negotiated very directly and came up with a price that both felt was reasonable.

It was really the easiest negotiation, Liu Zhiyuan sighed in his heart. The most taboo thing in business negotiations is for the other party to catch their weaknesses. It was Liu Zhiyuan who caught Sega's weaknesses. There was no way Sega would allow these three games to be sold to Nintendo.

Nintendo couldn't just wait for Sega to finish the negotiation. Sega, represented by Suzuki Morihiro, was very passive during the entire negotiation process. It can be said that it never took the initiative.

In the same way, if Sega knew that Liu Zhiyuan would only sell games to them, then Liu Zhiyuan would be the passive one. It is really not an exaggeration to take away these three games for one million US dollars. If you don't sell them? Yes, it can be up to one month.

Sega's games can be found in all arcades in Japan. Are you talking about infringement? Do you know more about various game patent laws than Sega? With a slight change in the gameplay, it is not a problem at all for Sega.

To put it bluntly, this is a question of who can seize the market first. Regardless of Nintendo or Sega, it is really not difficult to develop this kind of puzzle game. The difficulty is that there is no such creativity. But now that the creativity is available, for giant companies like them

It couldn't be easier to imitate a few models.

However, imitation also takes time. If one party directly obtains the original authorization, it can be spread to the entire world in a month. You must understand that this is not the future, each computer or game console can easily switch between multiple games. It is 1987

In 2006, the price of an arcade machine was so high that it was impossible for the arcade hall owner to display multiple games of the same type. In order to be exclusive, many arcade machines did not support the replacement of game substrates at all. Whoever was one step ahead would occupy the entire market.

"Tuk-tuk-tuk..."

"Liu Jun, I'm Dan Aso from the Nintendo Purchasing Department, I'm sorry."

As soon as he finished speaking, the store door was pushed open.

Liu Zhiyuan looked at the group of people who came in, and it turned out to be the arrogant Nintendo. Shouldn't normal people negotiate waiting for the owner to open the door to welcome them in?

Aso Dan's expression changed slightly when he saw Suzuki Morihiro. He then looked at the drunk tea on the coffee table and the cigarette butts filled with ashtrays.

"Suzuki-kun is such a sensitive wild dog." Aso Dan deliberately emphasized the word wild dog.

After saying that, he ignored Suzuki Morihiro, who looked ugly, and said to Liu Zhiyuan.

"Liu Jun, Nintendo is far from comparable to Sega in terms of market and influence in the gaming industry. We at Nintendo can guarantee that we will not let Liu Jun and your three games be buried. And our Nintendo development department is not a second-rate company like Sega.

Comparable.”

"If Liu Jun intends to work at Nintendo, I can make the decision. Liu Jun can declare five games every year. If Liu Jun doesn't understand the meaning of declaring five games every year, I can explain it to Liu Jun."

"Clear." How could Liu Zhiyuan not know the meaning of Nintendo's declaration of five games every year? Anyone who is deeply involved in the game industry knows about Nintendo's domineering and dictatorial treaty.

Third parties under Nintendo can only produce a maximum of five games per year. This is still the treatment of the strongest third party, and the third party has to pay its own production costs, estimated sales, etc. This is completely unequal in the eyes of future generations.

The contract is currently the highest treatment offered by Nintendo.

"That's good. Liu Jun, no matter how much money Sega pays, Nintendo will always add one million dollars." Aso Dan said this very confidently. In his opinion, since Liu Zhiyuan understands Nintendo's third-party sequence, then

If the price beats Sega again, it will happen naturally.

"Suzuki-kun, no matter how fast a wild dog runs, it's just a wild dog. When the lion is not around, the wild dog can bark a few times, but when the lion comes, the wild dog just tucks its tail and stands aside, okay?"

Looking at Aso Dan who kept mocking Suzuki Morihiro, Liu Zhiyuan sighed in his heart. The arrogant Nintendo and the overbearing and dictatorial Hiroshi Yamauchi were only called by wrong names, not by wrong nicknames.

Unlike later generations who only read those cold words, only by personally coming into contact with Nintendo can you fully appreciate the arrogance and confidence. If you randomly throw out a condition and dare to mock competitors who are one step ahead of you, you are sure that you can combine these three games.

This kind of pride in game acquisition is really...

However, if Liu Zhiyuan had not had the experience of later generations, I am afraid he would have chosen Nintendo, even if he had signed a contract with Sega. There is no way, Nintendo is really close to being a dictator in the gaming industry now.

However, what I am doing is Nintendo. If you don’t die, how can I take over? If there is a dictator in the gaming industry in the future, it can only be me, the Han Dynasty!

"Fifty million dollars."

Aso frowned and looked at the smiling Liu Zhiyuan.

"Liu Jun." Aso pointed to the "Nintendo" sign on his chest.

"It's not a good idea to make such a joke with Nintendo. I'll give Liu Jun another chance."

The smile on Liu Zhiyuan's face remained unchanged, and he stretched out his hand and spread five fingers.

"Fifty million U.S. dollars, Nintendo doesn't need to give me an extra million, just fifty million and one U.S. dollars."

Now that you have decided to completely join Sega's team, you might as well look good. The probability of Aso Dan agreeing to the US$50 million and one offer is negligible. If he dares to agree, Yamauchi Hiroshi will definitely pluck him out when he returns.

Even if he agreed, Suzuki Morihiro had to grit his teeth and keep up. This kind of direct confrontation with Nintendo and the hope of victory was impossible for Sega to miss, not to mention the ownership rights of these three games.

Aso's face suddenly darkened.

"Very good. Since Liu Jun has chosen to hang out with Sega, a wild dog, I hope you won't be afraid of Nintendo's next methods."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled and made an inviting gesture toward the store door.

“Really looking forward to it.”

Aso Dan and his group turned and left without saying a word.

"Liu Jun! Thank you very much!"

When Aso Dan's group was completely out of sight, Suzuki Morihiro bowed deeply to Liu Zhiyuan.

"Nintendo is too arrogant. They have been dazzled by victory. Even powerful third parties like Konami and Namco are constantly squeezed by Nintendo."

"We at Sega will never treat you like this, Jun Liu. I will report today's situation verbatim, and we will definitely give Jun Liu the treatment he deserves."

Liu Zhiyuan didn't answer, and chatted with Suzuki Morihiro about other things with a smile. When Suzuki Morihiro left with three game boards, he shook his fist fiercely and looked at everyone present with warm eyes.

"The Han Dynasty! Officially sets sail!"

"Oh!" Jiang Jiahao couldn't bear it for a long time, and was howling like a ghost.

Zheng Huadong is still in a sluggish state.

"This...this sold for 12 million US dollars!?"

Liu Zhiyuan looked at Zheng Huadong, who was shivering even while smoking, and laughed loudly.

"Brother Li, when the money from Sega arrives, give Uncle Zheng $100,000."

Zheng Huadong was so frightened that he could no longer hold the cigarette, so he quickly said no. After some persuasion from everyone, he agreed.

"Okay, the matter of selling games has come to an end for now. It's time for us to go back."

"Brother Li, hurry up and get your graduation matters done. Also, any talent who is willing to return to Hong Kong with us will be welcomed. Food and accommodation will be included!"

"Ha ha..."

"But, Ayuan! You are only a sophomore, right? Are you staying in Japan?"

"That's right! It's such a big deal to open a company. As the boss, we don't have the confidence to do it without you."

"Isn't the score of 12 million US dollars enough to buy an early graduation?" Liu Zhiyuan doesn't care about the graduation certificate at all. It doesn't matter if he can get the best or not. He didn't come to Japan for the diploma in the first place.

, just need to learn some relevant knowledge in this environment.

I have learned almost all the knowledge, so there is no need to waste it here anymore. Besides, there is really no time. In 1988, that is, next year, the opportunity for Sega to turn around will come, SEGA MEGA DRIVE.

The Sega MD, a console that Chinese gamers are absolutely familiar with, is about to appear, and he must take advantage of it.
