Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

"I know that you and Nakamura Akira are in a cooperative relationship, but don't have any worries. We are originally from the same company. It is the same whether you cooperate with me or with Nakamura Akira. But I can give you something that Nakamura Akira can't. of."

"What do you mean?" Zuo Zhen was confused.

"Haha, I didn't tell you at the meeting just now, so I'll tell you here. I just got informed today that I have been promoted to one of the company's new managing directors, and I have more say, and the position... …Naturally, he is one level higher than Akira Nakamura, so the rights he can exercise are also higher.”

Zuo Zhen seemed to understand a little bit.

Miyazaki continued: "I am in charge of cassettes. As long as you cooperate with me in the future, there will be no problem with the production quota of cassettes. Moreover, I can also use the rights of the managing director to increase the upper limit of the games you can sell on NGS every year."

"Now you can only release up to three games per year. If you want to get more sales caps, you must be large enough, or have the endorsement of someone with my status. As for Akira Nakamura...he is still a little bit behind."

Zuo Zhen asked: "Does this count as poaching people?"

Miyazaki said with a smile: "These are all internal matters. There is no poaching. After all, my status is higher than that guy Akira Nakamura, which is good for you."

"I'll think about it again."

"Of course, but you can only have the sales limit of three games per year during the time you are considering. Akira Nakamura can't help you more. If you change your mind, you can always come to me."

"Okay." Zuo Zhen nodded, then stood up and left the conference room.

Zuo really needs money.

But he has countless ways to make money. Zuo Zhen finds it boring to switch to others simply for money.

And Akira Nakamura helped him a lot.

In the beginning, it was Akira Nakamura who accepted his own cassette sales.

What's more, my relationship with Akira Nakamura and teacher Zhang Xueren.

After all, this is a humane society, and Zuo Zhen can't be so ruthless for profit.

In fact, the most important thing is that he really doesn't necessarily lack the money for game development.

With future game development concepts, you will have no worries wherever you go.

After leaving the office, Akira Nakamura found Zuozhen and learned from Zuozhen what Miyazaki wanted to do.

This made Akira Nakamura even more uncomfortable.

Then when he learned that Zuo Zhen did not agree to this condition, but continued to choose to cooperate with him, Nakamura Akira felt very relieved.

At the same time, he also promised to try his best to get more benefits for Zuo Zhen.

He can also discuss the annual sales cap of the game directly with President Yamauchi. Using his position as a guarantee, he can at least get benefits for Zuo Zhen.

He was even a little touched, touched that Zuo Zhen did not give up cooperating with him because of the better interests at hand.

All Akira Nakamura can do is to help Zuozhen more, which is also a win-win situation.

At the same time, Zuo Zhen also learned some information about Miyazaki from Nakamura Akira.

Miyazaki was originally the head of the cassette production department, and his previous position was similar to Akira Nakamura.

Even Akira Nakamura has a higher status.

The game production department naturally has more say.

After all, if there are no good games, the cassette production department will not be able to bring more benefits to the company even if it works hard.

However, Miyazaki has something that Akira Nakamura does not.

That's the relationship at the top.

Miyazaki often improves his favorability in front of many high-level boards of directors, while Akira Nakamura focuses more on game development itself and has little interest in irrelevant things other than game development.

His favorability in front of senior officials is naturally not as good as Miyazaki's.

It is for this reason that Miyazaki received more votes from the top management not long ago and successfully became a new board member, which is a higher level than the development director of his department.

Miyazaki is a typical example of someone who licks the top to get comfortable and then gets the bone.

As for what Miyazaki said about the 5% of revenue being used to fight for the status of NGS, Akira Nakamura said that he only had a partial understanding and should use the money to attack competitors and increase the voice and share of NGS.

Even if they already have 90% of the market share, NGS is still not satisfied. They want more.

Even 100%.

After a brief chat with Akira Nakamura, Zuo Zhen left the NGS headquarters.

Then in the following time, Zuo Zhen went to find his friend Kenji Ozawa, the magazine editor of BEEP.

Now this Ozawa Kenji is his fan, and he is also a loyal player who likes his game.

Zuo Zhen, who is the media mouthpiece, still hopes to have more contact with him.

He is deeply aware of the influence that the media will have after the arrival of the Internet in the future.

Magazines can usually only affect one region, or at most one country.

But in the Internet age, media can spread to the world.

It's just that... he had never heard of the magazine BEEP in his previous life, and it was a bit different from Famitsu.

But as long as the editor's level is sufficient, if the magazine fails, they can always seek refuge on other magazine platforms and continue to exert their abilities.

Ozawa Kenji is very happy that Zuo Zhen, a game developer with two consecutive million-selling games, can still remember him.

Even Zuo Zhen specially brought Ozawa Kenji a computer version of the game Fire Emblem.

And it’s the complete version.

Zuo really wanted to let Ozawa Kenji experience it in advance, and then prepare a review news early, which would also play a certain role in the future release of the game.

Zuo Zhen has always felt that relying solely on the propaganda of the NGS group is not reliable.

If possible, you should also work harder to get more additional publicity opportunities.

Ozawa Kenji put the floppy disk away carefully, and then said that he must pay the bill.

Japan's social economy is very good recently, and the profitability of their magazines is also very good. Treating guests is not a problem at all.

After the dinner party was over, Zuo Zhen's purpose of coming to Japan was basically achieved, and then they returned to China together with the Chinese fellow they had met before, and said goodbye in the magic city.

This time I went to Japan and made good gains. All three games were successfully sold.

So as soon as Zuo Zhen came back, he celebrated with his team and gave each team a bonus of 1,000 yuan before the Spring Festival.

This bonus is really nothing to Zuo Zhen now.

Even in his domestic account, he already has more than one million funds.

Not to mention that he still has a lot of funds in his overseas account, waiting to be activated at any time.

The team members are very happy and they will obviously have a good year this year.

After sending most of the people off to celebrate the New Year, Zuo Zhen thought about taking a good rest for a day or two, and then just looking for a house to buy near the university.

Now that I have money, I can no longer live in such shabby conditions and buy a house first and then buy the latest computer.

Today's computers change in almost a few months. The speed of development is quite rapid. The computer performance in the computer room is already somewhat insufficient, so Zuo Zhen plans to spend some money to buy the best computer at the moment and use the Chinese New Year time to develop it. Some game frames with better graphics are prepared.

But at this moment, Yu Mengchen found Zuo Zhen.

"Zuo Zhen, do you have anyone to celebrate the New Year with?"
