Looking for countermeasures? What else can be done now? Is it possible to bypass the US rules through some heresy and avoid the disclosure of source code and patents?

However, this kind of thing is almost impossible to happen, and these two law enforcement agencies will never give you the opportunity to exploit loopholes.

Even if there is a loophole, they will immediately fill the loophole, and then let you spit out more with profit, which can be said to be quite domineering.

However, Matsuhashi still honestly explained all the sanctions imposed on Youxing Electronic Entertainment by the two agencies.

First of all, for the convenience of the tax bureau, it has decided to increase the tariffs on video games and game consoles by 20%. Unless you plan to build a factory in the United States and sell it, you can turn a blind eye to it. This is what happened before said.

It means that the tax bureau hopes to bring a large factory to the mainland of the United States to increase the employment rate, so that the tax bureau's taxes can still be collected from the employed people, and it can also reduce the dissatisfaction of the public by the way, which is a win-win situation.

However, the cost of building a factory in the United States is very high, and labor costs are the bulk. The hourly wages of industrial workers are at least 20 dollars.

If it is a skilled job, wages must be increased. On average, the daily wage of each worker will exceed two hundred dollars.

This kind of daily salary can scare people to death, it is better to accept the 20% increase in tariffs.

Regarding this requirement, Zhu Youxing didn't say anything.

The tax bureau is nothing more than asking for more money. This is a trivial matter. It is normal for the tax rate to fluctuate. They didn't really kill the chicken to get the eggs, but just raised the tariff to a slightly higher level than normal.

The real nuisance is the Department of Justice.

Their antitrust bureau used various reasons to force Yuxing Electronic Entertainment to disclose multiple patents, and must also disclose the source code of their game consoles.

This is fatal.

Leaving aside the public patent, once the source code of the game console is released, the most serious problem is to crack it.

And it is still the lowest level of cracking. These four game consoles will have no ability to fight back in the face of piracy in the future.

When it was made public, it almost declared a surrender to piracy.

That's why Matsuhashi Misai was unwilling to accept it anyway.

In addition to disclosing the source code of the mainframe, the compulsory licensing of patents includes light guns, cross keys, shoulder keys, and some patents that have been preempted earlier but have not yet been revealed for the time being.

However, the Ministry of Justice may also be afraid that Youxing Electronic Entertainment will jump the wall in a hurry and give up the US market, and then the patent will not be disclosed.

So they only asked Youxing Electronic Entertainment to license it for a fee, but they must not lock up the patents and prevent anyone from using these patents.

The licensing fees for patents will also be limited to a certain extent and should not be too expensive.

They call it promoting the industry.

After listening to all the detailed introductions, Matsuhashi Minority also talked about the hard work of their people, which delayed the implementation of these rules for a while.

This is the last effort they can make.

"By the way, President, in addition to the people on our side who are doing their best to delay the development of the situation, there is another company that you may not have expected to help us. That company used its influence to also affect the rules. Originally, we had to force more patents to be disclosed, but the company’s involvement was immediately reduced a lot.”

"Huh? It sounds like a big company, who is it?"

"Morgan Group."

Zhu Youxing was very surprised.

It turns out that this company is helping him?

for what? Just because the Doom they released promoted the popularity of their system?

That's an amazing payoff.

The reason why he let Doom to log into the PC is mainly because the performance of the PC is indeed stronger, and it can also make the picture better. Zhu Youxing just wants to experience the game with a better picture, and at the same time do a high-performance game test.

But it seems that he has added a friend to himself invisibly.

The Morgan Group is very similar to Microsoft in his previous life. The super giant in the electronics field in the United States has an almost unshakable status and has too much money to spend.

Zhu Youxing said: "I really didn't expect the help from the Morgan Group, but I will definitely remember this favor, and I will consider cooperation with the Morgan Group in the future, but now, we should carry out our coping strategies .”

Matsuhashi asked suspiciously: "President, have you already thought of a countermeasure? So soon?"

Zhu Youxing shook his head: "No, actually I didn't think of it now, but I thought about it a long time ago."

"What strategy? Is there any way to prevent the source code of our game console from being released?"

"No, this is unstoppable, let's make it public. In fact, this is actually a good thing."

"Good thing?" Matsuhashi almost thought he had heard wrong.

If the source code is made public, then Youxing Electronic Entertainment's revenue on these game consoles may decline precipitously.

Previously, there was legal protection to ensure that these consoles would remain popular.

But now the U.S. officials are forcing the release of the source codes of the four game consoles, which is tantamount to telling people that if you pirate these four game consoles, we will turn a blind eye and ignore them.

Of course, Youxing Electronic Entertainment can use legal authorization to protect its own rights and interests, but the cost of suing one by one is incalculable, and the biggest cash cow has also been pushed down.

Zhu Youxing patiently explained: "This is what I think. Since the source code is unavoidable to be made public, then we can use it in reverse. It just happens that the four game consoles can be completely open source. We also simply put the four The development kit of the first game console is also released to squeeze out the last value: the value of talents.”

"How to squeeze this?" Matsuhashi couldn't understand anymore.

"You can prepare now, put on a new advertisement, release the game development kit, hold an event, and reward all those who develop games on our game consoles, from individuals to groups, as long as the games they produce meet our requirements , just give a bonus, give a long-term contract, I will wipe out all the game developers in the United States, and draw them all into my camp."

Zhu Youxing paused, and then said: "As for the name of the event, it's called Game Stars. The plan is ready to dig out future game stars."

This world will never be short of talented people, so far Zhuyouxing has not found a few, but it just happens to take advantage of this opportunity to completely open source the game console to recruit such talents.

Geniuses, come quickly, our game console does not require you to pay any licensing fees, as long as you have interesting ideas, you can freely develop games on our game console, and all sales revenue will be 100% owned by You, we will not take any money, and we will give you a new contract, a contract that binds geniuses to death.

"In addition to these, now I feel that it is finally time to release the big move we have been hiding for a long time. The GBA and the GS1 game console, these two game consoles have been in development for a long time, and now it is the most A fitting opportunity for a release, isn't it?"
