Super Game Empire

Yang Yun and the other two came to San Francisco together and met EA President Larry Probst.

This tripartite talks are very likely to change the current pattern of the global game console market. Yang Yun did not dare to underestimate it at all. He walked on thin ice and thought of various possibilities and solutions.

Larry hugged Alexei intimately, shook hands with others to express his welcome. The three parties sat down and everyone wanted to know the true purpose of KTT.

Senior consultant Yang Yun spoke: "Mr. Probst, EA company mainly focuses on PC games. Now that it is entering the TV game market, will you feel that the performance of FC machines is insufficient?"

Larry nodded: "The 8-bit gaming console processor is indeed a bit worse. But..."

After looking at Shi Fujita and Pete, Larry continued: "Nintendo has a much larger market share than Sega, so although Sega has 16-bit machine Genesis, it is not within my consideration for the time being."

This is the truth, Fujita Qi blushed and it is difficult to refute.

Yang Yun smiled: "Sega Games' hardware is the highest-end, and the configuration of the Genesis machine can even support EA's games after 5 years, so the president doesn't have to worry about performance and compatibility issues. And the market is always full of changes, Sega

It will not be so sluggish forever, and the domineering Nintendo will eventually fall down one day. Besides, Nintendo focuses on TV games and will not enter the PC market. Since EA does not have to worry about Nintendo's disruption, why not give up Nintendo and give Sega a better performance

, and what about an opportunity for us, KTT, a company with Sino-Soviet background?”

Larry understands that the reason is that Nintendo machines are poor, with a large market share, Sega machines are good, with a small market share, and EA chooses who the overall profit is similar, but for the sake of long-term interests, since Nintendo will not invade the PC market

EA does choose Sega, which has more advanced hardware technology, better.

Larry has thought about these things. The most important point is that EA has developed well in the PC game market, and this year is the company's listing period. Venture Capital Group is preparing to relive the dream of a strong country in TV games and revive Yada.

Lee, so Nintendo and Sega are not within the scope of cooperation that they are considering for the time being!

Yang Yun knew the crux of the matter and said with a smile: "Mr. Probst, the opportunity I mentioned is the opportunity for Sega, KTT, and EA to work together. If I hand over the Contra game to Sega and EA together

Development, I wonder if EA can jump out of the Nintendo camp and join our KTT and Sega alliance?"

"What!"

Fujita Qi stood up suddenly, unable to believe it: "Is Conra not Korami's signature game? How could you get it?"

Larry has also done a lot of homework on TV games and knows the best games sold by Nintendo, and doesn't believe what Yang Yun said just now.

Yang Yun laughed and deliberately gave the opportunity to Alexei.

Alexei cleared his throat and said proudly: "It was me who negotiated with Nintendo Arakawa, Fujita, I'm sorry, Tetris had to continue to cooperate with Nintendo, Larry, we agreed to jointly develop the PC version of Tetris

I can only make a plan out of the way. But in order to give you an explanation, I also spent a lot of money to buy the full copyrighted Conra game from Nintendo. Let Yang explain the specific cooperation plan!"

Yang Yun had already laughed in his heart. Conra and the others didn't spend a penny, but he didn't expect that Alexei would fool him without pause.

"Oh!" Fujita Kiyoshi and Pitt's eyes dimmed, and they missed Tetris' patent again!

But they still have the possibility to get the game Conra!

Yang Yun said: "About Conra game, Sega has obtained exclusive authorization for arcade development, EA has obtained exclusive authorization for PC, and TV games are not as good as jointly developed by EA and Sega? Mr. Probst, IMHO

, Warner is really good at doing entertainment and media, but when it comes to the game industry, no matter how much money is invested, it will eventually be defeated by Nintendo and Sega. Atari is a black hole that swallows funds! Joining forces with Sega to fight Nintendo, this is how it is

It's the best choice for EA!"

As soon as this statement was made, both sides immediately calculated it in their minds, but soon everyone discovered that there was no KTT in the middle of this plan. What's going on?

Yang Yun said a little embarrassedly: "As Nintendo's closest partner, KTT will not do anything like betray Nintendo. So we want to exchange Contra to EA, and then EA will go to Sega again.

Joint development.”

Now everyone understood that Sega is a dead pig and is not afraid of boiling water. She is a mortal enemy of Nintendo and can obtain the copyright of Contra. Even if Nintendo is so angry, they are not afraid.

But EA is a little different. Although they have little relationship with Nintendo, they can at least maintain it. Now they are pushed to the front line of the battlefield and accept Nintendo's fierce firepower head-on, which makes Larry feel unacceptable.

Without sufficient interests, Larry would not agree to this matter. EA is not his own company. He represents the interests of all EA shareholders. If something happens before listing, he will not be able to explain to the board of directors.

So Larry asked, "I wonder how KTT is going to exchange?"

Yang Yun said solemnly and seriously: "I am a Chinese and a sports fan. China is a sports power, not a sports power. Because the children are imprisoned by the heavy pressure of learning, they can't take much time to do it.

Sports, under poor material conditions, the country has no way to promote and promote sports on a large scale. So I hope to obtain part of the equity of EA-Sports and use the EA company's sports game development platform to produce football, basketball, and badminton.

Waiting for sports games will give some help to China’s application for the Olympics, and make meager contributions to promoting national fitness and the prosperity of the people!”

“…”

This reason left everyone with nothing to say. It was clearly a purely commercial exchange issue, but it was related to national honors. No one knew the truth or falsehood of these words, which was too high-sounding.

These foreigners are unfamiliar with Red China. They suddenly realized that Yang Yun and Alexei of KTT, both of whom are from socialist countries, and then suddenly realized that this should be because of the different political systems.

This leads to a different way of thinking!

The brand value of Contra is about $10 million, which is not worthy of this little money, and the brand value of EA-Sports is now as high as $30 million. Larry believes that Contra who leaves Nintendo is

The future profits will not be too high, so he did not agree to the replacement.

Larry said lightly: "Mr. Yang, the EA-Sports brand was founded in 1984. It has many sports games and is the most important department of EA. Moreover, we are a company that is about to go public, and the equity cannot be changed at will.

.”

Yang Yun is interested in the EA sports game development platform, which allows him to learn the experience of sports game development, obtain the core technology of PC game development, and accumulate technology for the future development of FIFA and live football. This is the most important purpose.

Of course, the more shares, the better.

Since EA doesn't bite the hook, Yang Yun plays with it: "OK, then I'll find another company to borrow a backdoor. Parker Brothers has also made TV games, and George Parker and I have a good relationship. We work with Sega ourselves, so EA will continue

Acquire the Atari production line and wish EA a successful turnaround, not the next Atari that loses $2 billion.”

If you say something wrong, you will turn your back on your face? This is too fast!

Larry was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything for a long time.

For Sega, as long as KTT does not turn to EA to do hardware development, it will not matter to them whether EA joins the TV game industry. Fujita Chi was initially worried that KTT would hand over the Tetris contract to EA, but now that there is no

, they will feel at ease.

It is best for EA to join the Sega camp. If it creates its own platform, Sega is not afraid.

Fujita said as pleasedly: "If KTT cooperates with us to develop Conra alone, we will definitely give quite generous conditions."

Get an ace from the enemy's mortal enemy, then turn this ace into his own killing weapon, turn it around and stab it at the mortal enemy. When Fujita Kiyoshi thinks of this exciting scene, he trembles all over.

Yang Yun nodded with a smile and accepted his kindness.

Hearing this sentence, Larry felt even more uncomfortable. Working with Sega can avoid unpredictable losses in the future. When she thinks of Atari who has lost $2 billion and went bankrupt, Larry is a little cold.

He is now facing a choice, whether to insist on doing it himself and bear the huge risks that may arise in acquiring Atari alone. At the same time, facing the two opponents of Nintendo and Sega, he should join the Sega camp to avoid the risks of acquiring Atari and use the EA part

Equity exchanges for a Contra, and at the same time, enter the TV game industry and join forces with Sega to fight against Nintendo?

After a long time, Larry said, "I want to discuss with the board of directors. I wonder how much equity Mr. Yang wants to acquire?"

Yang Yunxiao: "10% EA, or 30% EA-Sports brand fees, of course, as EA shareholders, we will also contribute to the development of EA games! Our R&D capabilities are clear, President

Mr. Can ask them. And in three days Nintendo will hold a joint press conference with KTT, and then the copyright of Contra Quan will belong to KTT. I hope Mr. Probst will speed up the progress."

...

...

Three days later, Hiro Yamauchi personally flew from Japan to Seattle and held a press conference with Alexae.

Nintendo Corporation of Japan and Cranberry Square Software Company in the United States jointly invested in establishing a Mario&

Tetris's game company works together with Super Mary and Tetris, each with half of the shares, and Nintendo is responsible for daily work.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the game and public opinion circles!

Nintendo, the world's most powerful TV game industry overlord, actually stripped out its most popular Super Mary series and was willing to cooperate with others. This is incredible!

Many manufacturers have inquired about what kind of company this KTT is and what kind of game products it has developed, which can make Nintendo, the leader of the industry, be willing to suffer such a big loss!

When these people found out that KTT was the owner of Tetris, the strong alliance between the two put a lot of pressure on many peers. For example, Sega, the launch plan of the handheld machine was seriously affected, unless they made it and super

Mary and Tetris have the same classic handheld game, otherwise you can expect the end of being unsalable if it goes on sale.

At the same time, the voices of the public opinion have indeed changed a lot. Yamauchi Hiroshi was very grateful for his choice. After the press conference, the accusation of the US Federal Trade Commission was immediately suspended. The media praised Nintendo's actions, and American companies joined.

Their tone has been much more relaxed.

At the same time, without much media attention, Yang Yun ran around the United States, busy signing contracts for investment.

First, Yang Yun signed a cooperation agreement with Kennapak Toys Company.

China Longteng Entertainment Game Company invested $1.3 million, and Kennapak Toys Company established Longteng Toys Company in New York with US$700,000 in cash and fixed assets. The main business is the production and sales of game cards, and Monopoly chess and cards.

Games share production plants, and share Parker Brothers’ global sales channels.

In addition, after difficult lobbying and under tremendous pressure, Larry finally convinced the R&D team and investors to give up the idea of ​​repurchasing the Atari game production line and switch to Sega camp when some employees resigned in anger.

.

After Nintendo press conference, Alexa and Yang Yun secretly met with EA and Sega and signed an agreement with all parties.

KTT exchanged the full copyright of Conra game for 30% ownership of the EA-Sports brand, and then gave it to Yang Yun for free.

EA Company authorized China Longteng Entertainment Games Company to allow it to develop Conra again and launch subsequent versions.

EA Company and China Longteng Entertainment Game Company have become strategic partners. Longteng Company will soon send a R&D team to the EA Laboratory in the United States to participate in the development of PC games.

EA Company and Sega Co., Ltd. have become strategic partners. Sega has opened the Genesis game development package. EA officially entered the TV game production industry and became a Sega platform game software supplier.

Sega Co., Ltd. and China Longteng Entertainment Games Company have become strategic partners to jointly develop large-scale arcade and Genesis platform Contra games.

This chess piece was finally survived by Yang Yun.

Sega, EA, KTT, and Longteng are all winners, and the only losers are Korami and Nintendo.

Yang Yun founded a toy company covering global sales network in the United States, shared the copyright of Super Mary and Tetris, grabbed Conra from his mortal enemy Korami, obtained part of the equity of EA-Sports, and joined forces with EA

Become the main force of Sega's camp and become the biggest winner!

China Longteng Entertainment Game Company finally came out of the home TV game console industry and successfully entered the four important industries of physical card games, animation and game peripherals, PC games and arcade games. Yang Yun's super game empire dream has finally opened up.

A new chapter!
