Chapter 65: Nintendo's Visit
In the past few days, Li Guangyu has either inspected the branches of his various groups in RB, or has gone to the real estate group to deal with some matters, and at the same time negotiate the recruitment of the real estate group.
At the same time, Li Xuemei sent an assistant to Li Guangyu, Li Xuelan, a 23-year-old high-achieving student who studied at Harvard Business School at Harvard University and obtained a master's degree in business administration (MBA) from Harvard.
Li Guangyu was very strange at the time why Li Xuemei didn't wait for Li Xuelan to graduate before introducing herself to the company, Li Xuemei's answer was that Li Guangyu was currently short of people, and after a while, there would be no assistant position, anyway, her sister just waited for graduation, and the rest had already passed.
Li Guangyu is now short of people, so he agreed to Li Xuemei's request and let Li Xuelan serve as his assistant.
Today, Li Guangyu took Li Xuelan to Xingyue Real Estate Group as usual, because the company was newly built and Gan Qinglin and they didn't understand Japanese, so Li Guangyu still had to come here from time to time to watch.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Li Xuelan walked into the office and said to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, Nintendo's president Hiroshi Yamauchi has called, please ask if you have time tonight, he will have a banquet for you at the Imperial Hotel." ”
Li Guangyu felt very strange, his company did not have any business dealings with Nintendo, how could Hiroshi Yamauchi think about entertaining himself?
"Xuelan, you replied to Mr. Yamauchi for me and said that I would be on time in the evening. Li Guangyu said.
Lee also wanted to meet the legend who brought Nintendo to the top and see what he was looking for.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Guangyu went downstairs and came to the private room that Yamauchi had set.
Hiroshi Yamauchi looks like he is in his early forties, definitely not like he is in his fifties, and he looks very kind and polite.
"President Yamauchi, thank you for having me. Li Guangyu said.
"Li Sheng, please take a seat. Hiroshi Yamauchi poured a cup of tea for Li Guangyu.
"President Yamauchi, is there anything you invited me to come this time?" asked Li Guangyu straight to the point.
"Mr. Li, I heard that your company is working on the development of home consoles and PC versions of games. Are you interested in working with us at Nintendo?" asked Hiroshi Yamauchi.
Li Guangyu didn't expect Yamauchi to come to him to cooperate, in the RB game market, Li Guangyu's Xingyu Group is currently Nintendo's biggest rival in the arcade market.
"President Yamauchi, at present, our game company has just started research and development, as for the current progress, I don't know too much, this matter needs to be discussed between your company and President Li Xuemei. Li Guangyu said shirkably.
"Mr. Li, I know that you basically have Seiko Epson as an agent in the RB game market, and Seiko Epson is not a professional game company, so I think it is more beneficial for both parties to cooperate with our two companies. ”
Lee Kwang Woo knew that with Nintendo's years of development in RB, Lee Kwang Woo and his cooperation could develop RB's game market even more. But when you cooperate with Nintendo, the benefits you get are not necessarily more than the profits of Seiko Epson.
Moreover, Lee Guangyu didn't want to take out his own games to cooperate with Nintendo, especially Super Mario who robbed Nintendo. Li Guangyu cut off Shigeru Yamamoto, which is equivalent to breaking Nintendo's arm alive.
"So how is President Yamauchi going to cooperate?" asked Lee Kwang-woo.
"Mr. Li, we at Nintendo have experience in developing home game consoles, you can license the game to our company, and we will pay your company royalties according to the number of sales. Hiroshi Yamauchi said.
Li Guangyu didn't expect Yamauchi Hiroshi to directly want to cut off the way for Xingyu Video Game Group to enter the home game console market, Nintendo's abacus is very fine, but unfortunately Li Guangyu knows that the next ten years will be the world of home game consoles and computer games. How could Lee Kwang Woo give up.
"President Yamauchi, I have no intention of licensing the company's games. ”
Yamauchi Hiroshi heard that Li Guangyu did not have the intention of licensing the game to Nintendo, and said: "Mr. Li, you don't have a foundation for the development of home game consoles, and cooperating with us can quickly open the market, and the price can be negotiated, you can consider it." ”
Li Guangyu didn't think much about this, he was determined to enter the family game market, let him give such a big market to Nintendo, and he only charged a little royalty, he didn't do it.
"President Yamauchi, I think for the time being, our Xingyu Group has no plans to license our own games, if our group has this consideration in the future, we must contact President Yamauchi. Li Guangyu replied.
Hiroshi Yamauchi saw that Li Guangyu really did not have the will to cooperate with Nintendo in this regard, so he did not force it.
Yamauchi said to Li Guangyu: "Mr. Li, then what do you think about the RB market when your home game console is launched, and is it possible to cooperate with our Nintendo?"
Lee Guang Woo heard that Nintendo wanted to eat the sales market of RB, but he could cooperate with Nintendo in this regard.
"President Yamauchi, it's too early to talk about the listing of our home game console, but after the listing in the future, the two companies can discuss in detail. Lee Kwang Woo replied.
After hearing that Li Guangyu did not refuse, Yamauchi finally felt that it was not in vain, and Nintendo could make a lot of money if he was able to eat the Xingyu Group's home game console in the RB market. The main reason is that several games of Xingyu Group are too famous, and if Nintendo had these games, it would have been on the top spot of RB Games by now.
Later, he also talked with Li Guangyu about the sales of the game changed to the computer version, and there are still relatively few computers, so the game can't make much money, so Li Guangyu also agreed to discuss the two companies in detail in the future.
……
Back in the suite, Li Guangyu thought about the meeting with Hiroshi Yamauchi tonight, Nintendo Yamamoto Shigeru had already gone to Li Guangyu's side, and now the important person is Yokoi Junhei.
It's a pity that Li Guangyu can't dig up this game boss, and now people are the second-in-command in Nintendo, and the power is only under Hiroshi Yamauchi. However, without Shigeru Yamamoto, Nintendo's 80s would have lost a lot of color.
In the past few days, Xiangjiang has been very lively, MacLehose went north, and the content of the meeting with the Chinese leaders was also transmitted back to Xiangjiang, and the commitment made by the Chinese leaders to Xiangjiang also made many families in Xiangjiang feel relieved.
Li Guangyu paid special attention to the leader's remark that Hong Kong's enterprises are welcome to invest in the mainland, especially in Shenzhen. Li Guangyu knows that the door to the north is gradually opening, and Li Guangyu is now thinking about how to rush in and not cause the suppression of Britain and Treasure Island.
Li Guangyu, whether in his past life or in this life, admired the old man very much, it was he who led Huaguo on the road of rapid development, and at the same time pointed out the way for the recovery of Xiangjiang Lisboa and the stability of the local area.
