Super Game Empire

Staff from the State Administration of Press and Publication gave advance notice, and Longteng Company made preparations one day in advance.

Now Zhu Shuguang and his party came to Longteng Building and received a warm welcome from all employees of the company.

Yang Yun shook hands with Chinese officials and members of the Japanese delegation enthusiastically. When it was the turn of the petite Akiko Kudo, Yang Yun even paid a few compliments.

Meekness is an excellent quality that all Japanese women possess. In addition to being modest, Akiko Kudo also possesses independent confidence and self-assertion that are rare among Japanese women. This should be related to her job as the chief planner of the Three Kingdoms game at Namco.

related.

Entering the comfortable large conference room, while arranging seats, Zhu Shuguang summoned Yang Yun and said in a low voice: "Xiao Yang, the Japanese guests want to visit the best game industry manufacturer in our country. We went to Chili first in the morning.

Yang Electronics Factory, but that factory is so unsatisfactory. I don’t know if I ask this question, and I blame you when I ask that question. I heard that Director Duan, who appeared with you at the Canton Fair, applied for medical leave? What’s going on with Chiyang?

"

Duan Haisheng did apply for medical retirement, but it didn't matter much. Long Teng hired him as a consultant. The old man couldn't stay idle at home. Now when he has nothing to do, he wanders around the land of Zhaozhuang next to the Fourth Ring Road, giving advice and writing.

, said that he wanted to build a modern factory that was even more advanced than Chiyang with his own hands. According to Zhao Yongping, he had the demeanor of a chief designer.

However, Yang Yun couldn't say much, so he could only vaguely say: "This is a bunch of bad things from the Light Industry Department. I will explain it to you in detail later. Please sit down first!"

The itinerary for visiting Longteng was very simple. A total of five Japanese people came, two officials, a company representative, a translator, and an embassy staff member.

The officials' questions were very simple. They asked about the development of the game console industry in mainland China and the size of Longteng Company. The answers they received seemed to disappoint them, so Nakayama An, head of the Game Industry Section of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, shook his head slightly and continued to ask.

I no longer have any interest, so I plan to just go through the motions and get over it.

But Kudo Akiko came with a purpose and asked: "Can we see your company's product catalog?"

After the interpreter explained, Yang Yun replied readily: "No problem, Huimin, show them the product catalog!"

Cooperate with the Japanese delegation and try to meet the other party's requirements as much as possible. This is the staff's greeting in advance, saying that it is an order from above. Of course, Yang Yun will not violate the principle.

Akiko Kudo flipped through a booklet, and her expression gradually became serious.

She didn't expect that Yang Yun would actually provide a product catalog. What's more, she didn't expect that this product catalog listed in detail seven or eight games that had applied for patents, and briefly introduced more than a dozen games that Longteng was developing.

big game.

The more I read this booklet, the more shocked I am, because among the dozen large-scale games under development above, in addition to games on the FC platform, there are also research projects on large-scale arcades and PC software.

When she saw the words Gundam Robot, her eyes almost went dark. This was Namco's core secret. She herself had only proposed the idea to the company president. Namco had never established a project at all, let alone

Talk about leaked!

What kind of monster is this Longteng Entertainment Game Company?

The more I read, the more frightened I became. Many of the games in these catalogs are game adaptations of well-known Japanese anime, as well as European and American comic movies. Once Longteng is authorized, the game software cartridge will immediately become an excellent product without too much publicity.

Achieving great sales, Kudo Akiko finally understood what Inoue Yanxiong said and those comments about Yang Yun. It seemed that they were not exaggerated!

The president of Longteng Company is indeed unpredictable. He is completely different from ordinary Chinese entrepreneurs. He is forward-thinking, quick-jumping, ruthless, and has advanced ideas. He is even scarier than many of their Japanese game manufacturers!

Kudo Akiko's strange expression aroused curiosity among the two officials. They circulated the catalog and manual, both frowning and lowering their heads to discuss something.

Zhu Shuguang noticed all this and gave Yang Yun a look. Yang Yun understood and personally took out another pamphlet, walked to Zhu Shuguang, lowered his head in his ear and introduced: "Don't worry, there will be no leaks.

90% of this booklet is fake, how can I scare them..."

Zhu Shuguang looked through it carefully and saw the keywords Japanese animation and American film copyright, and asked: "What's going on with these?"

Yang Yun whispered: "Anime, games, and movies are generally combined for marketing in Japan, Europe and the United States. Our brochures are all unauthorized game designs. If we want to sell them to the public, we must get

Authorization from the copyright owner. But it doesn’t take much thinking to know that it is impossible for us to obtain authorization at this stage because he

We Japanese game manufacturers will also keep an eye on this, and they will also find ways to obtain authorizations. So these things are public information. To be more precise, they are actually one of our design ideas that have never been actually implemented.

It’s to tell them that it’s not that we don’t want to do it or can’t do it, but that the external environment doesn’t allow it.”

Only then did Zhu Shuguang realize that he had been traveling around with the Japanese delegation in the past two days. Except for Lenovo and Hope Software, which were a few national companies that were quite good at it, many of the companies he saw had old ideas and a certain kind of mentality.

The feeling of sluggishness really made him feel ashamed and embarrassed in front of the Japanese.

Now there is an advanced company in the field of game production, which has world-class concepts and can shock the Japanese, finally saving some face for them.

Zhu Shuguang coughed twice and said loudly: "Longteng Company is an enterprise that we strongly support. It has the best programmers and game designers in China, its management level is in line with the world, and its design ideas are in sync with the first-class. I believe that Longteng will become an internationally outstanding company."

The famous game manufacturer is just around the corner!"

The leaders of the Beijing Cultural Bureau on the side quickly echoed, closely following Zhu Shuguang's footsteps, and also expressed their support for the game industry. They believed that vigorously developing the domestic game industry is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. The Cultural Bureau will definitely support several games.

A leading enterprise, driving the rapid development of the entire industry.

The translator spoke to the Japanese word for word, but now several people's expressions were not good, and they looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

The Chinese officials felt secretly happy. It was obvious that Longteng Company had the technology and what it came up with shocked the Japanese side. Their government officials had the policies and expressed strong support on the spot. The combination of government and enterprises gave these companies a high level of vision.

The Japanese have to pay attention to it.

Game Industry Section Chief An Nakayama asked: "Mr. Yang, are you producing all the games in these catalogs? Can you obtain game adaptation authorization from companies such as Sunrise Co., Ltd.?"

Sunrise is the copyright owner of Gundam. It was founded by Osamu Tezuka and others. Yuyuki Tomino is also a member of the studio and owns the copyright of Gundam.

Yang Yun showed no sign of weakness: "Who in Japan has obtained the rights to adapt the Gundam game? Namco? Bandai? Or Nintendo? Capcom? Who has obtained the authorization from mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan? If not, we

Can China's Longteng Entertainment Game Company obtain the mainland copyright? With the country supporting us, I think it shouldn't be difficult, right? Unless Sunrise is planning to open its own Gundam store in Beijing!"

In Japan, it is Bandai that has obtained the rights to adapt Gundam games, but Bandai's main business is anime peripheral models, cards and toys.

As for the production of video games, Bandai, which only entered this industry in 1980, still mainly produces OEM games. Most games even ask foreign aid such as Capcom and Konami to help them make Gundam games themselves. Before 1989, they only

The UC Gundam was developed, and the SD Gundam just went on sale this year, and the sales volume can be imagined.

If the Gundam game adaptation rights cannot be sold profitably, Sunrise may withdraw the authorization at any time. Due to the popularity of "Mobile Suit Gundam" and "Mobile Suit Z Gundam", Japanese professional games such as Namco and Capcom are eyeing the copyright of Gundam.

Outside the company, even China's Longteng is eager to try it, which makes Zhongshan, who is well aware of the situation of the Japanese game industry, on pins and needles.

Zhongshan An cannot make decisions on behalf of Sunrise. In addition, it is nonsense to let Sunrise open a Gundam store in the capital. The Chinese market is so weak that Japanese companies cannot be interested at all. However, in this small and weak market,

There is a beast hidden.

Although this beast is small and not strong enough, it has the backing of the country and has great stamina.

The most terrifying thing is that this beast has rich hunting skills, rich hunting tactics, and vicious vision. As long as you give it enough time, it will definitely become a powerful lion!

Unable to answer Yang Yun's aggressive question, Zhongshan An could only deliberately avoid answering, changed the question, pointed at the manual and asked: "Do you also want to make a Three Kingdoms game?"

Yang Yun smiled: "I know that Japan has recently had several Three Kingdoms games that have sold very well. But China is the real birthplace of Three Kingdoms culture. Isn't it strange that we develop and design Three Kingdoms games ourselves?"

Okay, we hit a wall again. Nakayama An looked at Akiko Kudo and found that she had no intention of talking at all. The representative of Namco who was doing the Three Kingdoms didn't even say anything. As a government official, it was even harder for him to intervene.

The successive questions made Zhongshan An feel frustrated, and several Japanese people stopped talking.

The current situation is very embarrassing. The Gundam Robot series that the Japanese are most proud of is facing a change of copyright. Domestic companies such as Namco, Capcom and Sega are eyeing it. There is also a Chinese who is also preparing to join. As a Japanese

Of course, we don’t want to see foreigners benefit.

Namco has already made a Three Kingdoms game that is popular all over the world. Now that the Japanese have come to China and learned that the Chinese are going to make a Three Kingdoms game against them, they can't laugh at each other for overestimating their capabilities;

Congratulating each other on the success of the game will only make you hold all the grievances in your heart, feel depressed, and can't say anything.

This product catalog pamphlet really made several people in the Japanese delegation uncomfortable.

Zhu Shuguang saw with his own eyes that the Japanese were losing ground and had nothing to say. He smiled and added at the right time: "Mr. Xiaolin, our game industry in China has just started. Many places need to learn from you and learn from your experience. Please don't hesitate to do so."

Please tell me, this is the friendly exchange between China and Japan!"

Well, Yang Yun just cut a knife on the Japanese, and Zhu Shuguang immediately sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound. This made Xiao Linzheng feel uncomfortable all over, and even his back molars began to hurt.

Refuse, you are still a guest now, and refusing the host's request means not giving the host face. Agree, you are raising a tiger and causing trouble.

Xiao Lin was suffering, Nakayama Anyou was speechless, Kudo Akiko had nothing to say, the embassy staff and translators lowered their heads and closed their mouths, not knowing what they were thinking...

The Japanese delegation had no intention of continuing to visit Longteng, so they just dealt with it casually for a while before returning and leaving.

As for the code and game development schedule, everyone knows that Longteng will not open it to them. They have been angered enough. Should they still stay in Longteng and get into trouble, and continue to let the Chinese people laugh?

?

However, Akiko Kudo accepted Yang Yun's invitation privately, and when she returned to the Capital Hotel, a car quietly picked her up.
