Super Game Empire

Chapter 015 Negotiations with Nintendo

Eating beans, a casual and cute classic game. Zhao Yongping controls the bean beans with big mouths. With the sound of the sirens, he flees wildly to avoid the pursuit of monsters and devours small beans.

After playing two games, the little monster's pursuit speed became faster and faster. After two lives were killed, Director Zhao replaced the handle to Su Xiuyun, and the little girl was very excited.

Ma Liang had the fastest speed, grabbed the second handle, and said diligently: "I'll doubles with you!"

After seeing the options of 1player and 2player, he thought he could fight together.

Yang Yun coughed: "This version can only be played by one person at the same time. The main reason is that the time is too tight and the sinking speed is too fast. I don't have time to debug the program..."

Chen Jun, who had just been following, was confused when he heard this, while the others were laughing secretly. Does the debugging program have anything to do with Shen Jun's speed?

Although the bean interface is simple, the game code is the same as Tetris to a certain extent. The most difficult part lies in the action algorithm of the smart computer.

In Tetris, man-machine combat and man-machine cooperation involve very complex action algorithms.

For human-computer battles, the computer must have a complete landing algorithm design, and human-computer cooperation. Sometimes people deliberately take the lead and occupy the predicted position of the computer. Then the computer must quickly execute the algorithm program and change to a better and better position. Yang Yun has done a lot of things like this. When he was a child, he played human-computer cooperation. His favorite thing was to block the way of the computer and make a fool of himself when he saw that the computer was ugly.

The same is true for eating beans. There are only five small monsters on the screen. The players control the whole screen to walk. The little monsters must follow the players to chase them, and their movement trajectory must have certain rules, and they can follow the players and encircle them.

Without a perfect intelligent algorithm, five monsters cannot be controlled at the same time, so the playability will be greatly reduced.

Yang Yun is not a computer expert, and he is not even a programming expert. The Tetris program he originally came up with only a single player gameplay, and he controls the drop of tiles by himself. The program code is very simple.

Later, the model of human-machine confrontation and human-machine cooperation was developed by him and Alexae. He was responsible for providing creativity, and Alexae was responsible for specific intelligent algorithm programming.

Alexei is now gone, and although the code remains, it will take some time for Yang Yun to completely absorb and digest it into his own things.

So he said that time is tight, but when others heard it, they would only think that Yang Yun didn't forget to mock Chen Jun, and they were laughing secretly.

Zhao Yongping withdrew from the crowd, stood behind Yang Yun, and began to ponder.

“This game is relatively simple!”

"Well, Director Zhao, you can play casual games with adults and children, so it cannot be set up too hard, otherwise the meaning of leisure will be lost."

"Well... I'm talking about it, let's do it. You can modify this game of beans and remove the alarm sound, which makes you feel uncomfortable, and then integrate it into the cassette. I will also get it to Beijing to apply for a patent."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements now. Director Zhao, can I go to Beijing with you?"

"Yes, your home is in Beijing. You are from the state-owned factory 938. Okay, after sorting out the relevant documents, I'll come to me!"

After the two of them decided on this matter, Zhao Yongping stopped staying. He was very busy. Even when Chen Jun came to him to please him, he waved his hand impatiently, like driving flies, which made Chen Jun feel inexplicable.

Yang Yun has the confidence this time: "Xiao Su, please beautify the interface and try to be cute. Zhang Gong, take the time to see the source code of the game, and give me some advice on how to use the three primary color codes. I will help Zhu Gong Let’s deal with the cassette with the pony.”

Everyone took the order and left Yang Yun's test machine and walked towards their workbench.

Yang Yun looked up and saw Chen Jun standing not far away in a daze. He slapped his forehead: "Oh! Why did I forget Chen Expert! Chen Expert has no plan now, right? Why don't you do this? As long as Director Zhao passes what you wrote For instructions on improving the production line, you can discuss with Chief Ma of the production department, re-optimize the production line in the workshop, and produce the main machine in advance!"

Chen Jun's face was so angry that his face turned pale. His dignified expert from the University of Science and Technology of China was forced to become a workshop technician!

"Hmph!" Chen Jun turned around and left with the documents. He decided that if Director Zhao did not pass, he would go directly to Mr. Huang of the group! He was here to take charge of the overall situation, not to be a stud worker!

"Secretary Yang is so domineering!" Ma Liang came over and said in a low voice.

The others were also very happy. It seemed that no one liked Chen Jun.

Yang Yun smiled: "You should hurry up, the speed of integrating the cartridges should be accelerated, and you should understand this game program thoroughly. When the time is ripe, let's design a new game together and write your names on the design list!"

"Really?"

“As classic as Tetris?”

"marvelous!"

"Long live Section Chief Yang!"

...

...

After setting foot on the land of the capital again, Yang Yun was in a trance, as if he had been in a different world.

Zhao Yongping had a friend who came to pick up the car. He carried a box of documents, and he never left him like a baby.

Zhao Yongping just did the patent application alone. Yang Yun talked about the place, and the driver said in surprise: "Edward Building? It's all right next to the Second Ring Road. Why are you going there in such a remote location?"

Is it still remote on the side of the Second Ring Road? Think about it, I went to Hebei to buy a house, and it was still considered a big capital.

Yang Yun was helpless to complain: "My family lives there! Director Zhao, after I finish my work, I will go to the door of the patent office to wait for you tomorrow, and I will guarantee that I will not be late!"

Edward Building is an foreign-related building. Yang Yun came here to look for Alexei.

After four or five days of tug-of-war negotiations, Alexei and Nintendo almost entered a dead end and refused to give in.

Nintendo believes that Alexei is a big talk, and the patent fee for a game card is $5, which is a money grab.

Their GameBoy comes with a 2.6-inch LCD display with a resolution of 160*144. It is driven by a dry battery and can play for at least 30 hours. The machine is equipped with a high configuration, but it costs only $48.

GameBoy's price is far lower than the $100 Nintendo's own Famicom game console. All it needs is to seize the market at a low price, first gain the North American market share of the palm of your phone, and then make a big profit by selling other game software.

If Tetris takes $5 with one COPY, Nintendo will not have much profit.

You should know that in Nintendo FC game software, any other third-party game developers must be released through them, and 60% of the game profits must be handed over to Nintendo. They have always been so strong, how could they be by one Little Tetris choked?

They are the absolute bosses in the global video game industry! The only one who speaks! Even Sony, Sega, Nikkei, and even Philips have to pinch their noses and beg for mercy. What is the owner of an independent game patent? He dares to raise $5

condition?

Alexei held on to the bottom line of $5, but in fact he had his own difficulties.

The patent owner is him and Yang Yun. According to the agreement, 70% of the profits belong to Yang Yun, and he only has 30%. If calculated at $5, he can get 1.5 and Yang Yun 3.5, but if according to Nintendo's proposal, it is

If he buys out the patent for $100,000, he can get $30,000, which is equivalent to GameBoy selling 20,000 units.

All fools know that since Nintendo has been a great success in the North American market, selling millions of units, GameBoy is only planning to sell 20,000 yuan? If 1 million units are sold, the patent fee will be 5 million US dollars, and it will be distributed to Alexei.

There are 1.5 million, 1.5 million or 30,000, which is more, Alexei calculated very clearly.

Both sides were very tough, one was $5 per COPY, and the other was a full buyout of $100,000. To be fair, neither side had sincerity, one was priced for diamonds and the other was priced for bargains.

Fortunately, Alexae was a Soviet man. The Japanese dared not act rashly and did not dare to force him too much, but they were already anxious. Nintendo's 100th anniversary celebration was about to begin. If they couldn't talk about it.

I couldn't submit the patent for Tetris to the headquarters.

If it were Yang Yun who negotiated with them, I was afraid that the Japanese would have been disdainful and used it for free. As for patents and lawsuits, let’s wait until China eliminates the piracy!

Yang Yun did not enter the Edward Building, but found a contact person in a nearby small restaurant, a little girl with a very small freckle on her face and the daughter of the restaurant owner. He only mentioned Alexei's name.

The little girl jumped and ran to Edward Building.

It took not much time, Alexei hurried over, and like a comrade-joining underground party, the two started talking in the grocery store warehouse.

Yang Yun listened for a while and asked, "Does the Japanese know I'm here?"

Alexei shook his head: "I walk very carefully. I come here to have dinner every day, and they probably won't follow me."

Yang Yun pondered for a while and handed over a piece of paper: "OK! After you go back, sign a contract with them like this, and you will say that we will make a compromise. These conditions are our final bottom line."
