Super Game Empire

On March 8, the 1995-1996 NBA All-Star Game was held in San Antonio, Texas, and the most famous team in the city is the Spurs.

In this year's All-Star lineup, Jordan, O'Neal, Kidd and other big-name stars gathered. In addition, senior NBA officials, President Stern and others will be present. The All-Star Game is a feast of North American basketball. Yang Yun happened to catch up and he wanted to see him.

The NBA senior executives are looking for endorsements to stars, and he plans to do everything at once.

The person who picked up the plane was Jiang Shaoyun. He looked guilty and first of all, he criticized himself: "Mr. Yang, it was because I was too careless and was taken advantage of by EA, which made us quite passive..."

Yang Yun rarely sees Jiang Shaoyun anxious and helpless. Although Jiang Shaoyun’s previous report was very serious, as the head coach, even if he is at a disadvantage, he cannot easily reveal his negative emotions, and he cannot let his subordinates see him.

Looks panicked.

He said with a smile: "Don't worry, I didn't fly over to hold you accountable. If you make the matter clear, we must be clear even if it fails. How serious is the matter now?"

Jiang Shaoyun said it all in detail, but these contents really made Yang Yun frown, and he knew it was extremely difficult.

First of all, EA has obtained the official authorization of the NBA. They will release "NBALive96" in the second half of the year. The name NBALive has been occupied by EA. Longteng's NBA games can only be named by other names. Considering the reasons for their own status, it must be

Similar names cannot be used, otherwise it will be a joke!

This is not the worst thing, the second thing is even more serious. O'Neill's agent Rutgers refused to contact Longteng Company. After Jiang Shaoyun inquired from multiple sources, Rutgers seemed to have reached some consensus with EA Company, except for the specific content.

No one of the parties involved knew about it. In terms of star endorsement, Longteng once again walked behind EA.

If these two things are both ruined, Yang Yun can't care. The game can be changed, and O'Neal can be replaced with Jordan or Olajuwon. But the third thing really makes Yang Yun unable to sit still. It is said that the NBA executives are interested in giving EA companies a chance to

The exclusive authorization of NBA games, this unconfirmed rumor made Yang Yunru feel uncomfortable. He realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Have you received the VIP seats in the All-Star Game? Have they arranged any social banquets? Do we have any other relationships to help contact Stern and others?" Yang Yun asked.

Jiang Shaoyun replied: "The best opportunity is tonight's charity party. Last week, the explosion/bombing occurred in the Federal Building in Oklahoma, USA, killing 168 people. Today's All-Star charity fundraising will be multiple NBAs.

The topic of the relevant personnel participating is to donate to the families of the victims of the explosion/bombardment case.”

"Okay, success or failure is tonight!" The long-distance flight was a little tired. Yang Yun closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Jiang Shaoyun sat opposite Yang Yun, looked at Yang Yun's tired face, and sighed in his heart. He knew that Yang Yun valued NBA games, and he had been to Orlando once for O'Neal of the Magic in the early stage, but he still couldn't compete for EA.

The company became the CEO of the Longteng North American branch for vain. He felt guilty and felt sorry for Yang Yun!

For a moment, he actually wanted to retreat. Alexei's shadow suddenly appeared in his mind. He shook his head mockingly. He thought he was not much better than Alexei...

Dinner in a star hotel near the Spurs' home court in San Antonio, Yang Yun was wearing a suit and tie. As the owner of the Timberwolves and one of the richest CEOs in the world of gaming, he enjoyed the most noble service, the doorman welcomed guests, and the Chinese-speaking woman

The waiter guided the whole process, with exquisite Chinese dim sum and wine, and the organizer considered it very thoughtfully.

After Yang Yun entered the venue, it caused a lot of shock. Most people pointed at him from a distance, judging his head and making a name for themselves, and were full of curiosity.

"Isn't this Yang from the game production company? How could he come to the charity dinner at the NBA All-Star Game?"

"Don't you know? He is also a successful person in the sports industry. He also has many basketball and football clubs, one La Liga club, and the NBA is the Minnesota Timberwolves."

"So that's the case. I heard that in the American Baseball League, the owner of the Mariners is the Japanese game company Nintendo? It seems that those large game companies are quite fond of the sports world!"

"Of course, because sports games are also an important category! And Yang is very rich and willing to do charity, and has a very good reputation. There are only benefits and no harm in making friends with him...Hi Yang! Hello!"

Yang Yun looked around and walked around casually. When the people around him approached, he would smile kindly at him. He also gave him a smile and greet him. Those who were impressed would stand and chat a few words.

As for whether these people would arrange to discuss him after he left, he couldn't control it.

There will always be acquaintances. EA CEO Robert appeared in front of Yang Yun, stretched out his hand to greet him, showing enthusiasm and a smile.

"Coach Yang! I heard that your Timberwolves team has a good record this year and is about to enter the playoffs. You are so professional, and you will strive to win the championship next year!"

As for whether he was greeting or cursing in his heart, no one knew. Moreover, everyone was a game colleague, he only mentioned the team but not the game. He praised Yang Yun, who was the main business of making games, to practice the team professionally. This is not a compliment.

, but sarcasm.

Yang Yun smiled, touched the other party's hand gently, quickly retracted, and asked back: "Kevin, are you still working in EA company? Why haven't you heard that you EA launched a new game?"

Robert was so speechless that he couldn't speak for a while. The muscles on his face couldn't help but jump a few times, and almost cramped.

He didn't expect that Yang Yun could even do the wrong name on purpose, and he returned the sarcasm to himself, which was a satirical mockery for occupying the position of EA president without any achievements!

Jiang Shaoyun almost laughed and hurt, but he still tried his best to play the role of promoting people, prompting: "This is President Robert..."

Yang Yun suddenly realized, said oh, and said sorry, "I'm sorry Robert, my memory has dropped a lot in recent years. Please don't mind..."

Robert wanted to get angry, but in public, Yang Yun demoted himself and apologized. He could only hold back his anger and said coldly: "Yang, if your memory is worse than that of me, an old guy in my 50s, I

I suggest you learn from Hiroshi Yamauchi and retire as soon as possible!"

Yang Yun laughed: "What's the point of learning about Hiroshi Yamauchi? And I haven't achieved the leading position in PC games yet, and I haven't won NBA games yet. How could I retire easily?"

Robert finally became proud. How rare is EA to overwhelm Long Teng once. Regarding the NBA authorization, if nothing unexpected happens, Long Teng will be eliminated. This is the most proud thing he has been in the years, and it is also after he saw Yang Yun.

I couldn't help but come forward and ridicule the important reason!

"Yang, you control TV game consoles, so you can be the industry leader, everyone admits that. But the open source of PC games is far more than TV games, and can you control the production of all PC consoles in the world?

Maybe he has reached a monopoly position!" Robert saw it very accurately and was quite disdainful of Yang Yun's big words.

Yang Yun waved his hand and said calmly: "Robert, I'm talking about leading, not monopoly. Besides, what does Longteng look like and what does it have to do with EA? Why do you have to worry about me? I'm here to ask for NBA game authorization today.

NBA games will also be launched this year, just like the FIFA licensed games back then. So, you'd better think about how to make EA games well."

Robert's heart sank. Football games are not a good word for him. This is a deliberately mentioning his sadness. He sneered: "Then let's see!"

Oh, Yang Yun was a little surprised. When did EA become so strong? This is not like their style!

Watching Robert walk away, Yang Yun asked: "What exactly is EA's trump card? How could he be so confident?"

Jiang Shaoyun could only shake his head awkwardly. If he knew EA's trump card, he would not be suppressed by EA to this point.

The two had no choice but to find another way. Looking around, Yang Yunle met another acquaintance.

"Hi Yang!" A tall white man greeted Yang Yun. It was none other than Brown, the CEO of KTT.

Seeing Brown, Yang Yun suddenly thought of multiple possibilities. EA, a manufacturer focusing on PC games, dared to challenge Longteng, who developed multi-platform, in person. There is only one possibility. "NBALive96" may be on PS or

It was released on N64, and EA has teamed up with Sony or Nintendo!

"Sony is always cunning, Nintendo is the stubborn Xiaoqiang. If I get involved in EA again, can I still make a happy game?" Yang Yun had a headache. These companies are going to collude together.

The strength of his hostile forces can be increased by three points, and the combined attack effect of multiple platforms cannot be underestimated.

Jiang Shaoyun chatted with Brown, but he didn't dare to disturb Yang Yun's thinking. Soon, Yang Yun thought of a countermeasure. He expressed his ideas and received Brown's support.

Under the phone notification, Brown quickly contacted the heads of several American game companies that had business contacts with KTT, saying that KTT hopes to lead everyone to force NBA senior executives to open up game authorization and put pressure on NBA senior executives together.

This proposal has been approved by everyone. Even if everyone does not make NBA games now, no one can guarantee that they will not involve relevant content in the future. It is important to maintain a good relationship with KTT, so there is no need to offend them because of trivial matters.

The three of them simply found a sofa in the corner to sit down to discuss countermeasures. When Stern, who was highly anticipated, walked into the hall, they had already decided on two sets of options for response.

How to break out under the collaboration between EA and Sony and Nintendo depends on the present!
