Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 46: No coincidence

"Selling standards? That's a good idea!" A clear voice suddenly came from behind the two of them. The two of them were startled and turned their heads in unison. However, they did not notice that because the two of them originally wanted to

It was convenient to talk, and they were quite close. Even if they were not rubbing each other's ears, they were almost the same. Fang Mingyuan turned his head in unison, and Fang Mingyuan's lips happened to brush against Lin Lian's soft cheeks. Immediately, a strange feeling came from between his lips.

spread to the heart.

Lin Lian was also surprised. She could feel Fang Mingyuan's lips sliding from the corner of her mouth to her earlobes. The warm breath made her whole body feel weak. Fortunately, the two of them only touched each other.

Break up immediately, otherwise Lin Lian would probably collapse on her seat. Girls born in the 1960s and early 1970s in China naturally cannot be as clear about the affairs between the sexes as girls born in the 1980s and 1990s.

, not to mention kissing in public, even posting nude photos on the Internet, there are many people there. But in the early 1990s, these girls born in the 1960s and 1970s just held hands in public places,

They don't know how many pairs of white eyes are watching them, and they don't know how many mouths are talking about them.

Even though Lin Lian has been working for a year or two, she still doesn't know much about things between men and women. Except for her parents and relatives at home, she has never been so close to any young man.

The distant contact. Although I knew it was just an accident, my heart was beating rapidly, and my limbs were sore and weak. Two clusters of blush immediately appeared on the face as white as jade.

, his eyes moved but he didn't dare to look at Fang Mingyuan again.

Seeing her like this, Fang Mingyuan, who was also a little surprised at first, felt a little strange. Although he didn't get along as well as he wanted in his previous life, and he never got married, he had three girlfriends. As for women,

He was not the ignorant Chu brother, so when he saw Lin Lian's appearance, he already understood it in his heart. He couldn't help but feel a little moved - even if his age in his previous life was not counted, he was now

He is already a mature young man. His desire for women is a man's nature and cannot be obliterated by anything. Especially when he faces a beautiful woman like Lin Lian who is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from the water.

However, at this moment, it was obviously not a time for romance. Fang Mingyuan suppressed his desire to continue admiring Lin Lian's shy and pretty face, and looked towards the seat behind him.

"Why are you?" Fang Mingyuan couldn't help shouting. Sitting behind him were a man and a woman. The man was around forty years old, with a square face. He sat there with his eyes closed, quite majestic. The woman was in her twenties.

Up and down, the blond hair is shining in the sunlight outside the window, and the pretty face that sets it off is none other than Aso Kagetsu's good friend Uda Mitsuri!

Uda Mitsuri was also annoyed at this time. She was doing nothing on the plane and accidentally heard the conversation between the two people in the front seat. She was bored and listened for a few times. As a result, the more she listened, the more she paid attention, and finally she couldn't help shouting.

"Okay", alerting the other party. Such eavesdropping behavior was obviously extremely impolite. But unexpectedly, a familiar face popped out from the front seat. She couldn't help shouting: "Why is it you!"

Since Uda Mitsuri took over the persimmon business in Pingchuan County, he has been stationed in Japan to manage the sales of persimmons. The acquisition work has been handed over to people in the company. In addition, Fang Mingyuan later came to the capital, and he and Fang Mingyuan have had a long relationship.

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so meeting each other suddenly on the plane was really a surprise to both of them.

"Do you know each other?" Lin Lian and the middle-aged man said in unison. It's just that one spoke Japanese and the other spoke Chinese.

"Second uncle, that's him, he's Fang Mingyuan!" Uda Guangli grabbed the hand of the middle-aged man next to him and said with great excitement.

The middle-aged man's originally puzzled gaze immediately turned fiery, and he stood up suddenly. He immediately held Fang Mingyuan's hand with both hands, and said with great enthusiasm: "I, Uda Zhong, is Uda Guangli's second uncle. Please give me a warm welcome."

Please give me your advice!"

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan looked at him in surprise. This person was Uda Guangli's elder, but there was no need to be so polite when seeing him. He noticed that Chen Zhong, who was sitting behind, stood up and hurriedly said to him

He shook his head to indicate that it was okay.

"Fang Jun, my second uncle made a special trip to Hong Kong this time to meet with Fang Jun. As soon as he left the airport, he learned from Aso that Fang Jun was going to Tokyo today, and we hurried back.

"I didn't expect to see you on the plane." Uda Mitsuri's words explained why they appeared here, but Fang Mingyuan was even more confused. What did Uda Mitsuri's second uncle want to do with him? Persimmon cake

The business is currently out of reach for me. Or is there something else going on in Pingchuan County that I don't know about?

"Dear passengers, we are about to arrive at Tokyo Haneda Airport. Please sit back in your seats and fasten your seat belts. The plane will land soon." At this time, the sweet voice of the stewardess came from the aircraft's announcer.

, Fang Mingyuan also saw two stewardesses walking towards them in a hurry.

"Fang Jun, after getting off the plane, can you take some time to talk to us? There is something important!" Uda Guangli said urgently. Fang Mingyuan was still confused, but it was hard to refuse Uda Guangli's proposal, so he could only click

nodded.

Half an hour later, in a corner of the Haneda Airport cafe, Fang Mingyuan, Aso Xiangyue, Uda Mitsuri, and Uda Naka who came to pick them up sat opposite each other.

"Fang Jun, maybe you don't know that my second uncle Uda Naka is the second largest shareholder of Sega Corporation and the vice president of the company. I accompanied him to Hong Kong this time because I wanted to discuss with Fang Jun face to face about "

"Bubble Bobble" and "Zuma" transfer matters." Uda Mitsuri revealed the secret with one word, and Fang Mingyuan, who had been confused for a long time, finally understood their purpose.

Sega Sega Corporation or Sega Co., Ltd., generally referred to as Sega or Sega by Chinese people, is an old Japanese electronic game company. It once produced arcade hardware and arcade games, home game consoles and corresponding games, and computer games. It can be said that

It is the video game company with the most comprehensive coverage. In his previous life, Fang Mingyuan was no stranger to it. Such as "Sakura Wars" series, "Sonic Adventure" series, "VR Warrior", "Shenmue", "Light and Dark"

, the "Phantasy Star" series and other masterpieces that he was familiar with in previous lives are all its works. It was even one of the four major consumer game console manufacturers in the world with Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. The Saturn it produced, Fang Mingyuan was in the previous life

I also once owned one, which was praised by gamers in the previous life as the game console with the pinnacle of 2D game graphics. The level of expectations for it was even higher than that of Sony's PS. This time, it competed with Nintendo for "Bubble".

It was Sega who made "Paolong" and "Zuma"!

"Fang Jun, I am really lucky to meet you on the plane! Please give me your advice in the future!" Uda Naka stood up again and bowed deeply. Although he knew that bowing is a commonplace among Japanese people

, at the end of the day, if you don't bow thirty or fifty times, you won't be able to eat well, but his appearance still makes Fang Mingyuan a little uncomfortable - Hehe, the more respectful you are, the bigger your intentions are obviously. But he didn't say anything.

I thought that Mitsuri Uda, who was interested in the persimmon business, actually had a second uncle who was the vice president of Sega Corporation.

"Guangli, why did you suddenly think of asking about Fang Jun's whereabouts?" Aso Xiangyue also said in surprise.

Uda Guangli clasped his hands together and said with a pleading look on his face: "Xiangyue, there is nothing I can do. My second uncle accidentally learned that Fang Jun's hometown is in Pingchuan County. If he asked me, can I still hide it from him?

"

Fang Mingyuan looked at Uda Guangli with a headache. This time Uda Guangli really gave him a problem.

"Mr. Uda, you are Uda Mitsuri's second uncle, so I don't want to hide it from you. To be honest, between you and Nintendo, for now, I prefer Nintendo! Just as I just said on the plane

In that way, Nintendo is now not only selling products, but also selling standards. Do you understand this?" Fang Mingyuan said straightforwardly.

Uda Naka nodded. As an industry insider, how could he not understand what Fang Mingyuan meant. In the past ten years, the rapid development of Japan's electronic game console industry has attracted a large number of manufacturers who want to join this emerging industry. And because of Nintendo

The huge success achieved on the FC console forced every manufacturer trying to get a share of the home game industry to cooperate with Nintendo to develop game software that could only be played on the FC console. As a result, Nintendo quickly made its own standards an industry standard.

standards and benefit greatly from it.

"Fang Jun, I don't deny that Nintendo has become the industry standard setter in the Japanese home game industry through its position as a pioneer. But I think Fang Jun must also know that those software companies that have signed contracts with Nintendo every

To complete a game software, it must be entrusted to Nintendo for evaluation to determine whether it meets the standards, and it must be processed into game cards by Nintendo-owned factories before they can be sold. After deducting costs, Nintendo can get at least % of the total selling price from each box of game cards.

10 gross profit, and it does not bear inventory, development and other risks, and does not care whether these games are popular or not. In addition, this agreement also stipulates that each manufacturer that contracts with it cannot develop more than 5 games for Nintendo a year.

, and it can never be applied to models of other manufacturers. Don’t you think that such an agreement is a bit too harsh?" Uda Naka said solemnly. Although the person sitting in front of him was only a teenage boy, Uda Naka felt in his heart

But I don't dare to have the slightest contempt. This young man's achievements in Japan in the past two years are really too dazzling. Whether Sega can win the battle with Nintendo this time can be said to be completely

It's in the hands of this young man.

Sega's new home game console will be launched this year, but whether a new home game console can be recognized by the market depends on the hardware performance of the game on the one hand, and on the other hand, whether it can get enough support from game masterpieces cannot be ignored.

. Although Sega also produces games itself, it is impossible for it to support its own game consoles alone. In Japan, most of the established software production companies have signed exclusive agreements with Nintendo, leaving

There is really not much for Sega, and in the past two years, the most dazzling new game company is probably not owned by Gamestation. Several of its games have achieved both good and successful results in the game market. For such a company

How could Sega not pay attention to a company with great potential?

However, although Sega's asking price was high, news from within the gamestation company seemed that this young man valued Nintendo more. So when Uda Naka learned that his niece Uda Mitsuri knew Fang Mingyuan, he immediately took her to Hong Kong to visit Fang Mingyuan.

Thinking that they only learned that Fang Mingyuan was leaving for Tokyo today at the Hong Kong Airport, and immediately rushed back by plane, hoping that it would be best to stop him at the airport. No one expected that by chance, they would be sitting in the front seat with Fang Mingyuan and the others on the plane.

Fang Mingyuan nodded, but smiled and said nothing. Uda Naka said it right. Taking advantage of its position in the industry, Nintendo's signing conditions were quite harsh, which caused many companies that cooperated with it to be quite dissatisfied. However, those who have experienced it in previous lives

Fang Mingyuan knew that this move was the right choice at the time. This condition prevented Japan's game software industry from falling into chaos, ensured the healthy development of this emerging industry, and enabled the real leaders to achieve success.

It has been a huge success. Since there are only five opportunities a year, and the signers are fiercely competitive with each other, these software manufacturers all try their best to make their products more interesting and improve the quality of their products, and go all out to develop best-selling products.

This prevented Nintendo from following the path of the American pioneer of home game consoles - Americans completely lost interest in its game consoles because of its mixed games and a large number of shoddy games.

Among the information that Fang Mingyuan had just read, there were several software companies. Since signing the contract with Nintendo, their sales have increased tenfold or even dozens of times in just three or four years, becoming a company with an annual turnover of over 100 million US dollars in one fell swoop.

For large enterprises, profits are naturally even more considerable. Now Nintendo has become a strategic partner who shares weal and woe with its cooperative manufacturers.

Nintendo has even actively expanded the scope of this strategic alliance to other areas. Movies with "Super Mario" as the protagonist have become popular across the United States, creating a lot of profits for movie companies. In the United States, a large number of magazines, books, audio-visual products,

Even laptops and many daily necessities are branded with the protagonists of Nintendo games. There are also many TV programs and video programs that use Nintendo games as content or background. In American children's TV programs, according to Nintendo's game rules or its

The number of cartoons with the protagonist as the background far exceeds any other children's TV program. It can be said that countless companies have basked in the sunshine of Nintendo over the years, made a lot of money, and thrived.

It can be said that fighting against Nintendo means fighting against the many allies behind it! One can imagine how difficult it is.

The reason why Sony and Microsoft were able to enter this field in the future and get a share of the pie was because of their huge initial financial investment. However, Sega did not have such financial resources, which resulted in its future success in the game industry.

The company suffered continuous losses in the machine market and eventually had to withdraw from the market sadly.

"I'm afraid Fang Jun doesn't know that Sega and Nintendo once had a dispute. We once launched a small game console and developed a rechargeable battery for it, but we later discovered that this rechargeable battery

The chemicals in the battery can produce carcinogens during charging, so the world's first rechargeable battery was banned from sale by the U.S. Department of Health shortly after its launch. This was a mistake we did not discover before production and was banned.

It's natural. But after the news came out, Nintendo added insult to injury. It actually published an advertisement in the newspaper saying that 'Sega brings cancer to you'!" Uda Mitsuri gritted his teeth, but even though this beauty was...

No matter how hard he gritted his teeth, the damage was very little, but it made Fang Mingyuan see another side of Uda Mitsuri.

Fang Mingyuan just smiled faintly. This shopping mall is like a battlefield, and colleagues in the industry are enemies. Although Nintendo is cruel, the relevant Japanese government departments don't care about it. Who does it matter? Why should it seek justice for Sega?

Uda Naka and Uda Mitsuri looked at each other, and they could both see that, at least for now, Fang Mingyuan was still more optimistic about Nintendo.

Uda Naka clenched his fist, and then slowly loosened it. After doing this several times, he said solemnly: "Fang Jun, I heard that you intend to obtain the Chinese production license of FC from Nintendo.

Models that are gradually declining have no investment value at all. I have a suggestion..."

At this time, in the Nintendo office building, two people known as the souls of Nintendo, Shigeru Miyamoto and Gunpei Yokoi, were also discussing Fang Mingyuan.

"I heard that that magical Chinese boy is already on his way to Tokyo." Shigeru Miyamoto looked away from the street outside the window and said softly.

Yokoi Gunpei nodded speechlessly. Negotiations between Nintendo and Gamestation have been going on for some time. However, the management power of this subsidiary controlled by Enix Co., Ltd. is in the hands of a Chinese teenager. And they

The game copyrights of "Bubble Bobble" and "Zuma" that he wanted were completely in his hands. Speaking of this boy, even the two of them, the souls of Nintendo, had to admit that he was a magical genius.

At least when they were his age, they were still two unknown Japanese.

And he not only owns the copyrights of two best-selling comics, "Yu Yu Hakusho" and "Hunter", and has become a well-deserved leader among new Japanese cartoonists in the past two years, he also established a joint venture game production company with Enix Co., Ltd.

Moreover, the first work "Age of Discovery" set off a sales storm in the game market in Japan and even around the world. Although they have no way of knowing the specific financial status of Gamestation Company, one thing is certain, that is Enike.

This investment by Sri Lanka Co., Ltd. is undoubtedly the most successful example in the gaming industry in recent years. In just over a year, it has earned returns several times or even ten times the amount of investment. This is why, although Fang Mingyuan is far away now

In China, no one can shake his position in the company. Even his agent in Japan, Aso Xiangzuki, has become a famous figure in the Japanese game industry. No one dares to treat her because she is a woman.

any slight.

And its second game "Age of Discovery 2" also received great praise and huge profits in the industry. The "Age of Discovery" series of products has now become a cash cow for the Gamestation company, and is used all over the world.

He has cultivated countless loyal fans of "The Age of Discovery". This huge intangible wealth is something that even Nintendo would covet.

"Yokoi-senpai, have you read the "Resident Evil" game novel recently published by Gamestation?" Shigeru Miyamoto walked back to Yokoi Gunpei's desk from the window, holding the table with both hands and looking directly at him.

The eyes said.

Gunpei Yokoi nodded again. It has been some time since "Resident Evil" was published, and it has also caused a craze for zombie horror novels in the Japanese publishing industry. The Japanese have the largest readership of horror novels in East Asia.

, and "Resident Evil" can be said to have added another category to the genre of Japanese horror novels. Compared with those novels that only involve a few people, or affect people on a small scale, "Resident Evil" will be the victims.

The scope of the novel has been greatly expanded, making it easy for readers to have a sense of immersion. And compared with ethereal things like ghosts, the virus causing the dead to still have the desire to eat is more in line with human logic, and it is easier to believe that this is

It may happen in the future. So as soon as it was published, it achieved great success in Japan.

"I heard that although "Resident Evil" was not written by the Chinese boy himself, the background, settings and basic outline of the entire novel were created by him. Others only adapted the entire story based on his settings and story outline.

It has become fuller. I think that "Resident Evil" was not originally intended to be a novel, but a game script!" Shigeru Miyamoto said solemnly, "It's just that due to various reasons, this game cannot be released at the moment.

That’s why they adopted this method to build momentum for the game first.”

If Fang Mingyuan were sitting here at this time, I would probably applaud and admire his words. In the previous life, the game "Resident Evil" appeared first, and then the novel of the same name was gradually released.

Because Fang Mingyuan couldn't remember exactly which year "Resident Evil" came out in the previous life, he wrote the script and outline in advance and gave it to the company's game production staff. After a period of preparation, he discovered

With the current level of computer hardware, it is difficult to meet the standards set by Fang Mingyuan, so we turned to the second best and launched the "Resident Evil" novel. First, as Miyamoto Shigeru said, to build momentum for the game; second,

, also in order to hold the copyright in their own hands first. In this way, even if the Japanese company in the previous life produced it first, it would not prevent Gamestation from publishing this series of games.

"Miyamoto-kun, I understand what you mean, but if you want to perfectly adapt this novel into a game and display it on the screen, the hardware requirements for computers and game consoles are too high. Don't talk about FC, even if we plan to do it at the end of this year

I'm afraid it will be quite difficult for SFC to be listed on the market." Yokoi Gunpei said calmly. Moreover, the copyright of this novel is in the hands of Gamestation. As a game software company, how can it be transferred to Nintendo? So

Judging from Gamestation's game production level, the future of this game is completely predictable. No one will give up on such a future cash cow.

"Didn't that boy want the authorization for FC to produce in China? I don't believe that with this added, he could still refuse?" Shigeru Miyamoto insisted, "Senior Yokoi, I think this can be resolved through negotiation. And Gamestation Company

The current game software is all built for the performance of computers, but I don’t think they can’t see the future prospects of home game consoles. There is such an opportunity to step into the field of home game consoles and make their own games

Becoming a cross-platform product will undoubtedly greatly expand their profit scope, and they will not be tempted."

Yokoi Junpei looked directly into his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Miyamoto-kun, to be honest, I think the theme of "Resident Evil" does not conform to the style of our Nintendo games. Most of our games can be said to be

It is open to citizens of all ages, but "Resident Evil" is obviously only for adults to play..."

"Yokoi-senpai, I admit that what you said is good, but I think that our games in recent years have put too much emphasis on being suitable for all ages. Although such games give players a sense of warmth and a place where the whole family can sit

The pleasure of playing together. Although I think that for a long time, the main customers of home game consoles will still be teenagers under the age of thirty, but one day, the current customers of these home game consoles will become middle-aged people.

And at that time, games that can only give them this kind of pleasure are undoubtedly not enough. People's tastes are very finicky. Even if they are delicacies, they will eventually get tired of them one day, and by that time, it will be too late for us to change.

Got it!" Shigeru Miyamoto said seriously.

Yokoi Gunpei lowered his gaze in silence, and he also understood that what Miyamoto Shigeru said was not unreasonable. It has been more than six years since the birth of FC.

Nintendo, which stands out among others, has made huge profits. Such considerable profits will naturally attract other Japanese companies to enter the field of home game consoles. At least he knows that the veteran arcade game manufacturer Sega is developing their own home game console.

, is likely to be launched this year. And it is said that Sony's R&D department is also developing a new type of home game console.

But! How easy is it to change the product style of Nintendo for more than ten years? Just like a few years ago, Coca-Cola Company abolished the old formula and launched a new formula with great publicity. But Coca-Cola Company’s products all over the world

The most loyal customers did not agree with this. Only three months later, Coca-Cola had to give in to the angry reactions of consumers and reuse the old formula, while the new formula was abandoned. Afterwards, the New York Times reported

Calling Coca-Cola's recipe change one of the most significant mistakes in American business in the past 100 years.

He doesn't want Nintendo to be like that one day!
