One hundred and twenty-eight
Michael Dale signed a few deals and got a million-dollar check, happily returned to Texas to start his new career.
Xiao Dai felt that his life was rushing and his future was bright, while our long-time comrade on the other side of the ocean almost collapsed, because there was always an uninvited guest sitting in his office.
Since the end of the 70s, Japan has entered a stage of rapid economic, scientific and technological development, and a small country with a small size can only be export-oriented, and has established an image of Japanese businessmen as old-fashioned, stubborn, shrewd and cunning in the international community.
Foreign trade has caused the pockets of the Japanese to swell rapidly, and they are eager to buy the whole world, and their slogan is: What Pearl Harbor didn't get, we want to get back from the business.
The Japanese attach great importance to the conditions of the contract, especially the time clause, which is even more harsh.
Once the Americans did not fulfill the contract on time, the Japanese often came to the American's office by plane, sat there tirelessly, and asked the question: Why don't they deliver on time!
Almost every U.S. company that deals with Japanese people has experienced this kind of thing, and it's annoying. If you ignore him, the devil representative will sit in your office and commute with you, as if possessed.
Unexpectedly, he also enjoyed this kind of treatment for a long time, and Nintendo and he worked hard to conclude a supply contract almost like a see-saw, which can be said to be very harsh on both parties.
The unit price is too low for Chang Chang, but it is better than the large quantity, Nintendo promised to purchase 3 million pieces within a year, and the order of billions of yen made Chang Chang very satisfied, but the chip factory is under construction and has not been delivered for a long time, Mo said 3 million pieces, even 30 pieces, he can't get it.
Nintendo has achieved a satisfactory cost price, and has also received long-term technical support, but they also have sales pressure, after all, 3 million pieces is not a joke, how big is the entire Japanese home machine market?
The two sides each obtained satisfactory bargaining chips at the negotiation table, and each had a ghost in his own mind, snickering away.
Cao Changman didn't take this seriously, he was busy with his microprocessor when the contract was set, and the matter of the chip factory was presided over by Dr. Yu, and as long as it was completed and put into production, there would be no problem.
Nintendo, on the other hand, stepped up preparations for the launch of their home consoles, and was busy with all kinds of raw materials, publicity, and initial game production, and with their technical support behind the scenes, Yamauchi was able to focus all his energy on game production and optimization.
After the contract was finalized, a number of 021 processors were purchased from the mainland for a long time, made into development machines, and sold to Nintendo at a high price for its development of games, as for the delivery of large-scale mass production processors, it seems that the deadline is far away.
Because Dr. Yu is too serious, he must bow down to everything, he has asked about every link of the chip factory, although the quality of the project is guaranteed, but the time is inevitably a little delayed.
Seeing that more than a year has passed, Yamauchi's preparations for listing are almost complete, and then send someone over to ask how much long-term stock has been prepared.
For a long time, it is a pat on the head, and our chip factory has not yet been built......
As soon as Hiroshi Yamauchi heard the report of his subordinates that there was no processor in Hong Kong, his hair immediately stood on end, and he only said: "Is there such a thing?!"
The employees suddenly panicked, and in a burst of first aid, in a burst of wild shouts: President, President, undress, undress, pinch.
After a period of tossing, Yamauchi woke up and shouted, "Bitter!"
Can you not be bitter? Hirohiro Yamauchi gambled on home machines, and almost all of the money he had made in the past few years was invested, just waiting for an instant hit. At the end of the day, everything is ready, and Hong Kong actually says that the most important chip factory has not even been built......
Hiroshi Yamauchi jumped up and jumped the people around him.
"No, I have to go to Hong Kong myself. Yamauchi was extremely corrupt, Cao Changjiu put him together, and now it is too late to change the manufacturer and structure at this fateful stage, "Miyamoto, you go with me." ”
"Hello!" Miyamoto replied, now that he was no longer a small shrimp, he was in charge of several arcade games.
In this way, Yamauchi and Miyamoto went to Hong Kong, but unfortunately they came up empty-Cao Changjiu just went to pick up the film.
The old and the young had no choice but to stay in a huff, and poor Miyamoto volunteered to wait for the rabbit, and slept at the door of the long office for several nights in a row.
When I came back for a long time, I found this living treasure, sitting there in a daze like a clay sculpture and wood carving.
"Isn't this Mr. Miyamoto?" asked Chang Chang in surprise, he has always been familiar with people, "how can you have time to come to Hong Kong to play?" ”
Shigeru Miyamoto rubbed his eyes, making sure that it was indeed a real person in front of him, and stood up and grabbed the long clothes.
"Good you liar, I waited so long. Miyamoto Shigeru was bitter and bitter, and said with grinning teeth, "You didn't dare to sign such a big order without anything, are you tired of it?" ”
I was caught off guard for a long time, and I was suddenly a little unable to stand up after being pulled by this guy, and I held the table to stabilize, and suddenly became angry: "The little devil is really fucking arrogant!
Suddenly, two strong men with big shoulders and round waists rushed over from the aisle, and without saying a word, they separated the two first, one protected the chairman, and the other grabbed Miyamoto Shigeru by the neck and lifted it up.
If you want to say that the security guard of Digital Oriental is professional, then Miyamoto Shigeru is a weak scholar, and he can withstand this trick to lock his throat, and suddenly there was a voice of "lotus, lotus", but he couldn't speak, and his face was red.
After a long time of tidying up his clothes, he took a breath, and said viciously: "Throw him out for me, where is the madman!"
The security guard faithfully carried out the chairman's order, basically did not let Miyamoto walk, ran to the door all the way, shook his hand at the door, exhaled and said "Hi!", Miyamoto flew out five meters away.
“...... Damn, not only deceive, but also beat people!" Miyamoto rested for a long time before he recovered his strength, got up and scolded and went back to President Yamauchi.
Yamauchi was not young, and he rested in the hotel, and after listening to Miyamoto's crying, he understood what was going on.
"Stupid, how can you talk like this, it's strange if you don't be thrown out. Hiroshi Yamauchi began to get dressed, "I'll go for a trip, and you lead the way." ”
Yamauchi's visit has been known for a long time, and it is nothing more than a matter of supply, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and no matter how much the factory is built, it cannot be built overnight.
"Cao Sang, you Chinese have a saying that people can't stand without trust, your company promised to supply millions of pieces this year, where? Now we need it, Nintendo has to pay, we want the goods. The more Yamauchi spoke, the more anxious he became, and he regretted it in his heart, knowing that no matter how difficult it was, he would have to design and manufacture it himself.
Cao Changjiu smiled and took a sip of tea to hide his embarrassment: "President Yamauchi, it's not that we don't talk about integrity, you must know that we are also a start-up enterprise with a huge investment. You have ordered so many goods, and you don't give much deposit, of course, the construction of this factory is slow. ”
Before Yamauchi could speak, Miyamoto said angrily: "You can't get the goods, is it still our problem, if you take out something now, Nintendo will have money." ”
Cao Changjiu was a little annoyed, and said to Miyamoto: "You shut up for me, and if you talk again, I'll throw you out." ”
Miyamoto was furious, but he didn't dare to speak, because the young chairman could really do such a thing.
Cao Changjiu turned his head to Yamauchi Hiroshi and said, "President Yamauchi, when will your products be launched?"
Hiroshi Yamauchi refused to say, but said that the sooner the better.
Cao Changjiu sighed: "I'll give you a clue, in one to two months, the chip production line can start, and at the latest in June to July, the first batch of processor chips can arrive in Japan." ”
"That's good!" Yamauchi calculated, although it was a little late in June and July, but it would be almost enough to prepare for it in Japan, "just do as you say, please deliver it as soon as possible." ”
"But!" Cao Changjiu likes to say but, because this is the beginning of the bargain, "This is the fastest construction period I have calculated, and I have to pay overtime." Ask Nintendo to pay us a deposit, otherwise I can't guarantee this efficiency, and I can't blame me if I can't deliver the goods in June. ”
Yamauchi gritted his teeth hatefully: "You are blackmail!"
"Everyone has to send arrows on the string, and grasshoppers on the same rope can only help each other in the same boat, otherwise no one will have a good life. "Now is not the time to talk about it, we should understand and support each other, we should be win-win, and don't do things that harm others and ourselves." ”
Hiroshi Yamauchi is about to explode, but in the face of this helpless reality, he can only give in, and he is right for a long time, as long as he adds a lot of strength at the critical moment, he can supply the goods, which is good for everyone.
It's just that the more Hiroshi Yamauchi thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, the more he feels that something is wrong there, as if he has been calculated, but he can't say it, so he has to hold it in his heart.
The problem was successfully solved, Cao Changchang was very interested, and he also specially opened a table of banquets for the two gods of wealth.
Hiroshi Yamauchi was invited to the banquet, but only drank sake.
Sake has been heard for a long time, and Cao Changjiu poured a small bowl, smelled it, and gently took a small sip, dry, what kind of wine is this, the degree is too low.
Cao Chang looked up and saw that the old man in Yamauchi actually mixed the sake with water, drank it heartily, shouted good wine vigorously, and had a red face and a thick neck after a few glasses.
Damn, the devil is like this, and he has a heart of contempt for a long time. Before coming to dinner, I was afraid that the devil would have a master, so I specially found two guys with one or two catties of liquor and beer to help him, ready to do a big job.
But judging from this situation, the old devil and the little devil can get drunk by themselves, although they drink sake mixed with water......

The brothers are right, you are persevering, thank you!
