Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 51 Shock (Part 2)

Some people have also raised the possibility that Fang Mingyuan is playing hard to get, using this to suppress Sega Corporation's asking price, so as to gain a more favorable position in the subsequent formal negotiations and obtain greater profits. After all, this shopping mall is like a battlefield.

To gain the upper hand in negotiations and obtain more benefits, no matter what method you use, it is too much.

Japan has also cheated China in its past trade activities. When China introduced process-controlled telephone switches, Japan's quotation was the latest and thus won the contract. However, the Japanese hid secrets in the contract and did not even provide spare parts for the products they delivered.

, when you need to replace parts, you have to apply for replacement with the Japanese manufacturer, and the cost of replacing one part can be worth a complete product, and it has to be replaced by the Japanese personally. All damaged parts must be returned to Japan and cannot be left in China.

If you want to jointly produce, there is no way.

At that time, most multinational companies were only willing to sell equipment to China to earn high profits, and were unwilling to transfer any technology, especially large-scale integrated circuit technology. Some companies simply stated bluntly: "This is our lifeblood.

It is impossible to transfer it." In the end, China spent a lot of money to introduce technology from Europe and completely eliminate Japanese equipment. In this alone, the loss was hundreds of millions! As the tide turns, who dares to guarantee that this will happen?

Doesn’t Fang Mingyuan have other motives inside?

But all said and done, these senior executives of Sega Corporation still have great hopes for cooperating with Fan Mingyuan. Sega Corporation and Nintendo have been competing for nearly ten years. Although Sega Corporation has tried hard several times, it still cannot threaten them.

Nintendo's status, and they also learned that Sony seems to be developing a new generation of home game consoles. To say that Sega Co., Ltd. is not afraid of this behemoth Sony is simply lying.

As Fang Mingyuan said, after the initial sales of MD in 1989, this year, sales are still not enough to compete with Nintendo's FC sales in the same period. And Nintendo's new model SFC has been confirmed to be released this year.

It sells externally, so for the senior executives of Sega Corporation, the mental pressure is still quite huge. Now it can be said that there are interceptors in front and pursuers in the back. If they don't find a breakthrough in md, I'm afraid they have high hopes.

MD, like its previous models, will eventually fail the market. This is something that Sega Corporation, which has high hopes for MD, cannot accept.

Under such an unfavorable situation, Sega Corporation's executives had to seek innovation and change, and strive for more software manufacturers to add games to the MD. Gamestation Company and Fang Mingyuan were the first partners they chose.

For example, if the two parties successfully reach an agreement, it can also set an example for Sega Co., Ltd. to recruit other emerging software companies.

More importantly, the senior executives of Sega Corporation also have one idea in their hearts, which is to use Fan Mingyuan's hand to introduce MD into the Chinese market. Since Nintendo's Japanese and American markets have been unable to shake in a short time, if it can

Being the first to occupy the Chinese market, even if only one thousandth of the Chinese population will buy MD in the future, that is a beautiful thing that would make Sega Corporation’s executives laugh out of their dreams. And if it is possible to produce MD spare parts

, and the relocation of the assembly factory to China, the cost alone is more than 30% lower than that of Nintendo. This alone is enough to make Sega Co., Ltd. in an invincible position.

Although some people have previously proposed whether building the factory in China would leak technology to China and thus support the domestic industry with a rival, Sega Corporation's executives thought about it and after repeated confirmations, finally believed that this

One is unlikely.

First of all, the core of md lies in those electronic chips. If you want to really enter the production of electronic components for home game consoles, it is impossible without huge investments and vigorous research and development. And China does not even have a wafer factory until now. It can be said that

The production of core components is completely in the hands of Sega Co., Ltd., and based on the current level of China's electronics industry, it is impossible to even copy the MD chip, let alone conduct research and development based on MD chips, let alone do it alone.

Production. As long as Sega Corporation keeps the production of electronic components in China, all factories in China will be open to the Chinese people, and the Chinese people will only scratch the surface.

Secondly, judging from the Chinese government's consistent attitude towards the home game console industry, the possibility of state-owned capital entering this industry is negligible, but emerging private capital simply does not have such financial resources and courage, let alone real long-term prospects.

Vision. Therefore, it does not pose any threat to Sega Corporation and Japan's home game console industry.

Third, with the development of the times, home game consoles will be upgraded faster and faster. By the time the Chinese are truly capable of producing MDs, new home game consoles have already been successfully developed, so there is no need to care at all.

After determining this point, the key is how to attract Fan Mingyuan to abandon Nintendo and choose Sega. This is a big headache for the senior executives of Sega Corporation. Before, none of them thought that when Fan Mingyuan faced the temptation of MD

, and he is still picky! So the additional conditions that I thought of before, such as holding a controlling stake, such as high licensing fees, such as the purchase fees for some important parts, etc., are obviously no longer suitable.

If it is brought up again, it is very likely that Fang Mingyuan will have to be given more preferential conditions.

The executives of Sega Corporation are happy and sad...

Following Yokoi Gunpei's report, Nintendo's top management also fell into confusion and headache.

What should have been a sure thing in their opinion originally became a bit confusing due to Sega Corporation's unexpected move and Fang Mingyuan's move to postpone the negotiation time. What kind of conditions did Uda Naka put forward to make Fang Mingyuan so tempted?

The scheduled negotiations with Nintendo were postponed without hesitation, which became a puzzle for Nintendo executives.

"Senior Yokoi, I think the company must face up to the importance of Gamestation today. Although it is only a new company and is just a toddler compared to the company's partners, its potential is not huge.

People ignore it! If Sega Corporation draws it over, it will definitely be a disaster." Miyamoto Shigeru paced around Yokoi Gunpei's office irritably. Yesterday, he was still thinking about how to take this opportunity.

If we take over the copyright of "Resident Evil" from Gamestation, we should at least cooperate in research and development. Today, we have to think about how to further win over it by giving more benefits. Nothing in this world is unpredictable.

Shigeru Miyamoto is very clear about the consequences of gamestation companies moving closer to the Sega camp. The reason why Nintendo's fc has been able to occupy the king of home game consoles and has crushed Sega Co., Ltd. for many years is not because the fc's performance is better than Sega's products. How much higher is because Nintendo's endless stream of good games has attracted many players. There are not enough games to launch, so arcade games can only be transplanted. It can be said to be a major mistake by Sega, but if Sega Co., Ltd. can pull the Gamestation company Entering your own camp, although there may not be any significant results in a short period of time, you must not take it lightly!

Gunpei Yokoi held his forehead with his hand as he felt a headache. How could he not know what Shigeru Miyamoto said? After working in the industry for so many years, Gunpei Yokoi also developed a pair of eyes, so he naturally understood the great potential of Gamestation Company in the future. Limited quantity. From the perspective of long-term interests, it should be brought into the Nintendo camp no matter what. It’s not that the company’s senior officials have not thought about using some means to force it to surrender, but although the gamestation company is small, Enix Co., Ltd. Nintendo, a subsidiary of the company, must also consider the consequences of excessive measures that may lead to dissatisfaction from Enix Co., Ltd. Moreover, the games produced by the gamestation company are mainly for computer users. Nintendo can be the king of home game consoles, but However, computers do not have much influence. Even if they want to suppress it, they don’t know where to start.

"Miyamoto-kun, the key now is what did Uda Naka say to that Chinese boy? What conditions did Sega Corporation put forward to make him change his mind? Even if we want to take action, we have to Prescribe the right medicine in a targeted manner, instead of being irritable like you." Yokoi Jun said with a straight face.

"Yokoi-senpai, tell me...will Sega propose licensing the production of home game consoles to that Chinese kid?" Miyamoto Shigeru suddenly stood still and said with an unbelievable look on his face. In an instant, he was so blessed that he suddenly thought of this. a little.

"How is that possible?" Gunpei Yokoi said disapprovingly, "Besides, their game consoles have long been eliminated by our country's market. Players with a little brain will understand the gap between those game consoles and ours! "

"But the citizens of China don't know! What if these products are sold in China?" Shigeru Miyamoto said urgently. Gunpei Yokoi is right, Sega Corporation's products are already sold in Japan. Obviously they lost to Nintendo, and most of the people who still buy their products today are die-hard arcade players. Even if Sega authorizes Huaxia to produce it, it will not have a good sales in China. But Huaxia is completely different!

"Sold to China?" Yokoi Gunpei couldn't help but be startled, but he had not considered this.

"Senior Yokoi, if Sega proposes to authorize MD to that Chinese boy..."
