Super Game Empire

Didn’t it mean that $5 is the bottom line? This bottom line is getting so fast...

Alexei took the paper and saw the conditions listed by Yang Yun, and took a breath: "Yang! Do you really think Nintendo's GameBoy sales will exceed 10 million units?"

Yang Yun smacked his lips: "What's the point of 10 million units! Maybe there will be more! If they don't agree with this condition, then you will be able to drag it out, they can't afford to drag it out!"

Until 2000, GameBoy's sales volume exceeded 100 million, not counting the number of game cartridges! If the Japanese don't accept it, Nintendo's 100-year celebration ceremony would be gone, and there would be no Tetris.

GameBoy will definitely be overshadowed in the North American market!

Alexei found it incredible, but the contract proposed by Yang Yun was indeed beneficial to them. He fought hard and should get the consent of the Japanese.

After the breakup, Yang Yun returned to the state-owned 938 Factory to meet his old friends, while Alexey returned to the Edward Building and informed Nintendo.

"Mr. Uchiyama, this is my new proposal."

"Or share the money? Well, authorized according to sales volume?"

If the game cartridges containing Tetris are sold within 1 million sets in North America, the patent fee is USD 1/set, the sales are between 1 million and 10 million, the patent fee is USD 2/set, the sales volume exceeds 10 million, and the patent fee is USD 3/set.

And this segmented authorization agreement is for all game cards, GameBoy and Famicom can be ported, and the number of COPY copies is charged.

This is the bottom line of share set by Yang Yun. It is indeed much cheaper than the $5 plan, and it is almost 50% concession. However, the scope has expanded and the entire game card industry has been proposed.

Nintendo's negotiator, Manjutsu, fell into deep thought. No one knows whether the new game console is available for sale or not. According to past experience, Famicom sold more than 3 million in Japan and more than 4 million units in North America.

That's a very easy thing, and GameBoy shouldn't be too bad either.

However, Famicom's number of game software has four or five hundred, and its playability is much higher than GameBoy. Nintendo launched GameBoy, which is pursuing market segments, focusing on portability and compactness. However, because there are so many people playing games, it will inevitably be produced with Famicom.

compete.

So GameBoy is not as playable as Famicom, and it is a new product. No one can say how much it can sell in North America.

If it is a sales volume of 1 million units, Nintendo will have to pay a patent fee of 1 million US dollars. If it exceeds 1 million units, they will have to spend tens of millions of dollars, which is far from the $100,000 they originally booked to buy out.

But it is half the price of the initial offer of a set of COPY for $5.

Mango Nai bowed deeply: "Sorry, Mr. Padjitōov, we cannot meet your request."

Alexei hugged his chest and said coldly: "Why would Mr. Uchiyama discuss with the headquarters again?"

Mango Nai was very tough: "I don't think the headquarters will agree, so say goodbye!"

Alexai closed his eyes and saw the guests. In fact, he was extremely nervous inside. He could only look forward to Yang Yun having any good solutions now.

...

...

After leaving the State Patent Office, Zhao Yongping looked happy and said that the patent application materials had been submitted. The Dabawang Learning Machine has finally got a name for it.

Zhao Yongping applied for the improved production process, appearance, trademark, redesigned learning card content, and the source code of the three games, including Gluttonym, and knew that he was plagiarizing, he could still say it as original.

Yang Yun thought for a long time, and some of the patent declarations submitted by Zhao Yongping must be beaten back. He and Alexei took the lead in winning the Tetris patent, and it is impossible for everyone to hide it from them for a long time, and sooner or later it will be revealed.

On that day, Zhao Yongping would see him without thinking about it.

So Yang Yun made up his mind to help Zhao Yongping in the end, and then leave the big vortex early.

"Director Zhao, I have a small suggestion."

"you say."

The two of them found a small restaurant and originally planned to go back to Chongshan after they finished eating.

Yang Yun said: "There is a line of Kurt's words when the Keter learning card is turned on, which I think is interesting. Can we learn how to do it when the Keter learning card is turned on?"

Zhao Yongping frowned: "Show the words "The Great Ba Wang Learning Machine?"

Yang Yun shook his head: "The animated words are not intuitive, we use our voice!"

Zhao Yongping's eyes lit up: "Yes! Let's find a celebrity to advertise!"

Yang Yun smiled, Zhao Yongping was so clear that he was indeed a master in business.

Zhao Yongping put down his chopsticks and became interested: "Who are you looking for? This person's voice must be unique, recognizable, and famous. His words are convincing. It is best to deal with children's programs. With it! Sister Ju Ping, or

It's Uncle Dong!"

Yang Yun gave a thumbs up: "Director Zhao really has a good look! If these two people can be found, the fame of the overlord will be revealed in an instant."

Sister Ju Ping and Uncle Dong Hao are the gold medal hosts of CCTV children's program!

The children's program of tangram has been deeply rooted in thousands of households and is popular among hundreds of millions of children across the country. Sister Ju Ping's innocent and sweet and natural and lively image has won unanimous praise from children and parents.

As the voice of Mickey Mouse, the host of the doll show of Funny Head and Uncle Dong, the famous column hosted by the Big Windmill, and the word "Golden Tortoise" that will never grow up, it is also popular among thousands of children.

ah!

But after thinking about it, Zhao Yongping suddenly became discouraged: "These two are national first-class announcers and famous hosts of CCTV. Can we get them in such a small factory?"

Yang Yun smiled: "It's up to people! Director Zhao, you are a graduate student who graduated from Renmin University..."

Zhao Yongping gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay! I won't leave anymore. We will be running around the capital these days!"

Renmin University is a good school and has trained a large number of politicians. Zhao Yongping's classmates are basically all involved in the political circle of the capital.

So it didn't take long for Zhao Yongping to contact a classmate Huang Pingsheng from CCTV.

Huang Pingsheng wore glasses, was gentle and gentle, and wore shirts and trousers. He was the most popular cadre style at that time.

After a greeting, the two of them had their own feelings.

Huang Pingsheng said: "Boss Zhao, you are the only one in the class. It is said that you have made a lot of money?"

Zhao Yongping looked depressed: "In your life, don't let me down. What kind of boss am I? I became the director of a small factory. I work more than cows all day long, eat less than chickens, and work hard to get into the dark.

In the end, they were all exploited by their superiors."

The two laughed and talked about meeting Ju Ping and Dong Hao. Huang Pingsheng was a little embarrassed: "I am at CCTV and I am just the deputy editor of a small column. I'm afraid it's difficult to arrange it!"

Zhao Yongping flattered: "If it's hard to arrange, it's better than if we can't enter, right?"

Huang Pingsheng waved his hand: "If you want to enter, there are still ways. CCTV and other TV stations are the same. They will not refuse merchants that place advertisements."

Zhao Yongping knew that it would probably cost money. But he didn't have much budget and didn't know what the price of asking these two hosts was. He asked carefully: "If you invite them, the advertising fee would be roughly

How many?"

Huang Pingsheng curled his lips: "I can't help with the offer. Let's do this, let me arrange it, you guys go and talk to the advertising department for themselves!"
