Super Tycoon

"Mr. Zhang, there are only 31 game companies that have signed cooperation agreements with our company, and more than 100 have invested in the arms of Sunny Company, a small number of them have invested in Sega's camp, and more are still willing to believe in heaven. "

Satoshi Matsudajiri from Huadao Spirit Company called and reported the situation to Zhang Yang.

"Among the thirty-one companies, how is their strength? Has any of them developed a particularly popular game?" Zhang Yang asked.

"They have companies that have developed good games, but they don't seem to be particularly popular. In fact, these companies belong to the second and third tiers in the island country. The first tier companies are still in the Nintendo and Sega camp."

It seems that those companies are still not optimistic about Zhiduoxing, and Nintendo’s power is still there. Even if Nintendo does not have a 32-bit game console, those companies dare not sell games to other companies for fear of losing the world’s largest platform.

"Okay, I see. You can help me contact Nintendo, I can help him get the VCD technology authorization, and ask if they are willing to cooperate."

If they can cooperate with Nintendo, then they can join forces to suppress Suni. The memories of his previous life told him that Suni is the future big boss. With a long-term strategy, he defeated Nintendo and became the industry leader.

Moreover, after Nintendo broke up with Sunny, the two sides are fighting a lawsuit, because the name PS was originally tailor-made for Nintendo by Sunny.

It’s just that Sunny’s requirements are too high. Nintendo felt that Sunny’s appetite was too great, so he turned around and cooperated with Philips. Suny developed PS by himself, but Nintendo said that they came up with the name, and Suny was stolen. The idea of ​​Nintendo.

In fact, Zhang Yang is very clear that this kind of matter is also a lawsuit, which can be regarded as a kind of tacit understanding between the two parties. They use each other's reputation to increase the exposure rate of their company and increase brand awareness, which is also to forcibly create heat.

The final result must be a reconciliation, and even the details of the reconciliation will not be announced.

The two companies are in a lawsuit, and the amount of compensation is so low that it is only enough for the lawyer's fee. What is the company trying to do? The picture shows that the relevant media will continue to report on this matter, so that more game fans will notice their company and some of their new moves.

Of course, if one party really has an obvious defeat, then no one will be merciful, and will definitely want to swallow the other party.

...

"President, the president of Huadao Spirit Company sent a fax, saying that he represented the parent company Zhiduoxing, asking if we have any ideas for cooperation."

"They can help us obtain the authorization of VCD technology, so that we can use discs to store games, and they are willing to cooperate with us in various aspects."

Yamauchi Fu snorted coldly: "The technology of VCD is not as mature as that of CD. Before that, Zhiduxing Company just took this opportunity to exclude some pirated games."

"With the same storage capacity, even the production cost may be higher than that of CDs. We can even refuse Souni, so why should we cooperate with Zhiduoxing?"

"President, but the reason why we refused Sonny and cooperated with Philips at the beginning is because our previous agreement stated that if the cooperation breaks down, we cannot cooperate with other companies on CD-ROM. This is VCD-ROM , It’s different, isn’t it exactly what we need?” the subordinate persuaded.

Yamauchi shook his head: "Did you forget that the amount of data stored in our cassettes can actually exceed that of CDs. Then why did we give up our advantages and cooperate with them?"

"Zhi Duo Xing Company, a game company in China, has risen so fast. Their sales volume has already surpassed 3DO, and it is also ahead of PS and Saturn for the time being. Do you know what this means?"

"If we cooperate with Zhiduoxing and launch VCD game consoles at the same time, then VCD will become the mainstream, and Zhiduoxing will develop faster."

"Now we are number one in the industry, but other companies are also eyeing our position.

We should let other companies follow our standards, rather than us to follow other companies' standards. "

Yamauchi is a little disappointed with his assistant. VCD is not a particularly advanced technology. Compared with CD, there is no improvement in game consoles. Why put down your body to cooperate?

"President, I understand what you mean, but I heard that Suony, Songxia and other companies are researching VCD, and many foreign consumer electronics manufacturers have obtained authorization. In addition to developing VCD format video recorders, they have also begun to intervene in games. machine field."

"It is said that this format is more advanced than CD, and can continue to improve. Now the storage capacity is only about 700M, but it can be doubled or even several times in the future. By then, we will be behind."

Yamauchi looked at his assistant: "Have you ever played games with hundreds of megabytes? Besides, can't our cassettes store hundreds of megabytes of data? Their technology can be improved, but ours can't?"

"Even if they have greater potential for future improvement, do storable games need such a large storage space?"

"Even if we really need it in the future, what's the problem for us to buy it again? At least for now, we can't cooperate with Zhiduoxing Company, and we can't make Zhiduoxing Company grow."

"Zhi Duo Xing is not only robbing our market on video game consoles, their handhelds and electronic pets are also robbing us of our most important handheld market. As far as the company's development strategy is concerned, Zhi Duo Xing and Sega are our biggest players. Suony and Songxia are not even my opponents."

"Also, have you forgotten how Zhiduoxing rose? They took advantage of the loopholes in the Chinese market to produce products that imitated our FC, and even occupied the Eastern European market. I asked you to contact the Eastern European market before, but the other party was unwilling to cooperate with us. Bar?"

"Another thing you didn't realize is that Zhiduoxing's game console is actually compatible with other companies' CD game discs. They use different systems. The other party must have installed a compatibility package in their game console."

"This company has long planned to be compatible with other companies' game discs. If we do the same, believe it or not, in the future our game discs will definitely have a large number of pirated products in the Chinese and Eastern European markets. At that time It's too late to regret."

"However, don't reject Zhi Duoxing outright. You can try it out and see if you are willing to let us take a stake in Zhi Duoxing. If you can, then other aspects are easy to discuss."

Soon, Zhang Yang received a call from Satoshi Matsudajiri, and learned that Nintendo actually wanted to take a stake in Zhiduxing before they could discuss the next step of cooperation. Zhang Yang also understood the attitude of the other party.

This attitude of Nintendo also made Zhang Yang very unhappy. Since this is the case, let you know that the position of Nintendo's industry leader will not last for a few years!
