Super Tycoon

"What did you say? We've been accused again?" Zhang Weiguang looked at his son, and you told me the bad news when I came to the capital?

"Dad, calm down. Economic disputes are not criminal cases, isn't it normal? Just like you used to work in a factory, you can sue those who owe money and don't pay back?" Zhang Yang drank calmly hot tea.

"That's too frequent. The lawsuits with Sonny and Sega have not been resolved before, and this is coming again? International disputes, you really can sit still."

"Dad, what's the problem with international disputes? Maybe in a few years, we will sue other companies. Our peers are enemies, and you didn't realize that the ones suing us are all our peers?"

"Why did they sue, because through business means, they are not sure to completely suppress us, and they can't even suppress us now. I only hope that through these methods, our development will be slowed down."

"And what's the problem with the lawsuit? Our exposure has increased. Many people who didn't know Zhiduoxing before have started to pay attention to our company, so they may become our users."

"Besides, did you accuse us of being compatible with their CD discs before? Has there been any results? There have been three court trials, and there is still no evidence that we did it deliberately."

"Don't those companies know? They also know, so they are deliberately procrastinating. It is very cost-effective to spend a small amount of money and continuously increase exposure. Didn't you realize that the lawsuit between Nintendo and Sunny has been going on for a long time, Isn't there no result yet?"

At this time, it is absolutely impossible to agree to any out-of-court settlement, otherwise it will show that Zhi Duoxing is really wrong.

"This time, what is the defendant again, is it a game company or a game console manufacturer?"

"It's a game console manufacturer, Nintendo. You said they lost once before, and they came back this time. It seems that they don't remember to play." Zhang Yang opened a foreign game magazine and watched some related information. .

"They said that our vibrating handles are infringing, and they want us to stop selling them immediately, take back the handles bought by other players, and make compensation to Nintendo."

Zhang Weiguang was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you buy the patent license for our game controller for 100 million yen? And this patent was not bought from Nintendo. What does it have to do with Nintendo?"

"So, I said don't worry. We bought the company that patented the vibration sensing technology and licensed the patent to Nintendo, but our two technologies are slightly different. Our company is in another region. The patents applied for have different patent numbers.”

"As for the gap in the core content and what it has to do with us, we didn't steal it. If Nintendo wants to sue, it should also sue Sony. There is also a company in the United States, saying that our software is infringing. Our software It was developed by two former backbones of their company, and there is no patent, but the basic code overlaps."

"But when we bought it, there was no evidence that they had developed this software, and only part of the code was similar. There are many software with similar codes in the world. Why should we say that we infringe? Where did they get the rights?"

"If you want to sue, sue. If you want to sue, who is afraid of whom? Nintendo can still afford it. Is that company called Jinyu in the United States capable of a long-term lawsuit with us?"

"What do you mean, are we okay?" Zhang Weiguang heaved a sigh of relief.

"It's definitely okay. Dad, don't take this kind of lawsuit too seriously, there will be more in the future. By the way, what are you doing in the capital this time, and what kind of meeting are you attending?"

"Stinky boy, you didn't go back to Bingcheng during the summer vacation, so I can't come and see it?" Zhang Weiguang complained.

"Isn't this busy? The past two years have been critical to the development of the game console business of Zhiduoxing. You see, our export of game consoles has received strong support from the government, right? We have created foreign exchange."

At this time, Huaxia attaches great importance to foreign exchange, and it is precisely because of this that Huaxia will not be affected much by the Asian financial turmoil after this year.

It also helped to stabilize Xiangjiang, and it did not completely collapse like other parts of Southeast Asia.

I am not as good as you in terms of operations, but I have more money, which is my advantage.

"I know, but Bingcheng Zhiduoxing is responsible for this, right? What are you doing in the capital?" Does this kid know that Bingcheng has a home?

"Work. The news here in the capital is smoother, and at the same time, you can get in touch with many talents. Didn't you realize that the company has recently increased a lot of management personnel, and the operation is smoother?"

In the past few years, Zhiduoxing's factories are still in the stage of tax cuts, and it is absolutely right to vigorously develop them. After another two years, when taxation becomes normal, it will not be easy to guarantee such a high profit margin.

In fact, the overall profit of the Zhiduoxing G project is far lower than that of other game console manufacturers, because the price of the supporting games of Zhiduxing is very cheap, and the game console basically does not make money.

Sell ​​more, but earn less. If it weren't for the low development costs, they would even lose money.

Zhang Weiguang looked at his son with relief, he was working hard and doing a good job.

"I heard that you wanted to cooperate with the Bandai company in the island country, but was rejected by the other party?"

"It's not completely rejected, they don't want to be controlled by us. However, the other party did not completely reject our plan of exchanging copyright, and they are still in contact."

According to the news from Zhang Benxiong, Bandai Company does not seem to intend to exchange copyrights, but the reason why they are still delaying the negotiation is because they want to use Zhiduoxing Company to raise the price.

Zhang Yang didn't care about that either, it was a good thing for Zhi Duoxing to be able to make it more difficult for his peers. And if the conversation with the peers collapses, they may not have no chance to cooperate.

In business, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

However, Zhang Benxiong still brought back news that Bandai seems to be more inclined to merge with game companies in island countries, so EA in the United States may also be out.

The leading players now are Nangongmeng Game Company and Sega Corporation.

One side is simply developing games, and the other side is also operating game consoles. How to choose between the two paths is Bandai's consideration.

Although Bandai failed to launch a game console, didn’t someone say that you can get up wherever you fall, and Bandai may think so.

Zhang Weiguang didn't ask these things anymore, let his son handle it. What he is concerned about now is the debugging of the Zhiduoxing Z2, which is planned to be launched on the market around New Year's Day.

Sega's new handheld ND will go on sale tomorrow. It is said that during the pre-sale, the performance was mediocre. Whether it can challenge Nintendo's status in the future is also related to the interests of Zhiduoxing.
