Chapter 85: Tang Ze's decision

Li Fangcheng didn't know the ending of Arakawa Noko, he only knew that he waited for a while for Tang Zekaiyan to come back.

Li Fangcheng looked at Tang Zekaiyan, who was full of excitement, needless to say, he already knew that it must be good news.

"Mr. Li, how do you feel that you are older than me, such a calm appearance, I only saw it in my father. Tang Zekaiyan said with a little frustration.

"It's nothing, it's something that can be guessed at a guess, there's nothing to be excited about. Li Fangcheng waved his hand, indicating that it was no big deal.

Tang Zekaiyan looked at Li Fangcheng like a freak, and said for a long time: "When I came, it was because Lin Yinger told me, so I rushed over as soon as possible, and the senior leaders of Sega didn't know yet, just now they were still discussing the copyright fees of the two games produced by the Miracle Era, Lai Fault and Lianliankan, the price I just told you is that they have basically agreed, and what is already being discussed is your video game, the matter of family members." ”

"Well, it's necessary to have a meeting to discuss it, and it's normal for Sega's leadership, or the shareholders, to be discussing that. Wait, how do you know?" Li Fangcheng was suddenly a little curious, could it be that this Tang Ze family is still a shareholder?

"How can the Tang Ze family be a shareholder. Tang Zekaiyan sighed and said, "I know, it's because I'm also one of the people involved, but that's because I was the one who introduced these two games, and I participated in it by the light of the Miracle Era." ”

"Don't talk about this, I just told them that Nintendo is inviting you to become their second party, and also gave a lot of preferential policies, but the shareholders who have been hesitant immediately raised the price from $28 million to $35 million, and also said that they must stabilize you, Sega will officially invite the Age of Wonders to become the second party camp of Sega, as for the family members of this game, they said that the profit sharing can be the same as what we ordered before, only two percent. Tang Zekaiyan revealed the information he had gotten.

"$35 million? Li Fangcheng nodded, this price is completely satisfied.

"Yes, and I heard that President Nakayama has sent a legal counsel to sign a contract with you, and it is estimated that he will be there in half an hour. Tang Zekaiyan said with certainty.

What is even more surprising is the profit distribution of small members, using Sega's channels, this thing still has to be done, but Sega is willing to make concessions and only charge 20% of the profit, which is almost a rare situation, generally speaking, the profit share, many times is 64 points, the highest is 73 points, this 82 points of the situation, extremely rare.

But even if it is so, it is not enough to make Li Fangcheng the most concerned.

The most important thing is that today's Tang Ze Kaiyan is very weird, although he used to help or something, but it didn't reach this level, let alone this kind of unreserved, and even the Sega's hole cards were all revealed.

This had to make Li Fangcheng wonder, could it be some conspiracy?

"Kaiyan-kun, I have a question. Li Fangcheng thought about it, but he was still ready to ask clearly, otherwise he would not be able to settle down.

"Forehead ......" Tang Zekaiyan choked suddenly.

Both of them fell silent at once......

Be quiet.

The topic of two people can't go on all at once.

"Well, it's time too......" In the end, it was Tang Zekaiyan who broke the silence.

"Mr. Li, are you curious, why the Tang Ze family has no reservations about the Miracle Age recently, right?" Tang Ze Kaiyan looked at Li Fangcheng and asked.

"Yes, if we don't know for sure, I can't even believe in our next collaboration. Li Fangcheng nodded and said.

"Originally, this matter should have been said by my father, but since you have asked, I might as well talk about this matter on behalf of my father. Tang Zekaiyan nodded, and said with a somewhat complicated expression.

"The Tang Ze family, which has existed for 20 years, started from scratch by his father, from the beginning of an ordinary store dealer, slowly became a wholesaler, it took ten years, and then started from a wholesaler, prepared funds, and almost bankruptly prepared the first production line, and spent five years to become a producer. All the way to the present, he has worked hard bit by bit, and finally reached the top after his good friend Mr. Yu Suzuki entered Sega, under the mutual hostage of each other. ”

Tang Ze Kaiyan slowly introduced the history of the Tang Ze family, although Li Fangcheng didn't know what the purpose was, but he still listened quietly, but since there is a peak, it proves that the back must be going downhill, otherwise he would not know where the peak is so soon.

Sure enough, Tang Zekaiyan took a sip of water, and his tone changed a little: " That year, it was 1984, because the Tang Ze family started in sales and production, with the mutual cooperation of Mr. Suzuki and his father, he made a ruthless transformation into a third party, and spent a lot of money to recruit a group of top game designers, hoping that they could help Tang Ze's QZ company make some famous games, and in the first year, it was indeed a few popular small games, and for a while, everyone felt that Tang Ze's family had unlimited potential and was about to usher in great development. ”

"However, what I never expected was that many of Sega's second-party and third-party families were red-eyed!!" Tang Zekaiyan said through gritted teeth.

"They're a bunch of beasts that eat meat and don't spit out bones!"

"When our family didn't have the slightest defense against the third party of Sega, they did it!" his hands clenched into fists, and Tang Zekaiyan's eyes were a little remorseful.

After taking a deep breath, he continued, "Maybe it was crawling that threatened their status, or maybe it was an act under permission, they unfolded their fangs aimed at the lifeblood of the Karasawa family, and overnight, the game producers, designers, etc. of the Karasawa family all left QZ Company!!"

"And I just undertook three game development tasks for Sega, and at this time, the core personnel of the project fled, which brought immeasurable losses to the entire Tang Ze family!" Speaking of which, Li Fangcheng already roughly knew the situation behind.

Because the later Tang Zejia, which is what it is now, regained its role as a manufacturer and wholesaler, and returned to the channel and distribution side, it has been preserved to this day.

"Later, the Tang Ze family did not have the ability to develop any game, and the recruited people were either poached, or the rest were useless people, the Tang Ze family, dormant for more than ten years, climbed the mountain with difficulty, but overnight, fell into the sky like a meteor, I have to say that this is the Tang Ze family paid for their innocence. Tang Zekaiyan shook his head and said.

"In fact, we might as well look at the point, success is gratifying, but the lessons and experiences of failure are just as valuable. Li Fangcheng also said regretfully.

If Sega's third party doesn't fight in the nest, why not have a team that has been formed for five years, but there is no excellent second party, Nintendo must present classics every year, and Sega ...... Don't mention it.

Sega's preferential treatment of third parties is actually a natural advantage, but unfortunately, Sega itself did not expect that such a generous treatment, in exchange for the third party to fight for the place, for the second party's super treatment, the final result is a nest fight.

"No, in fact, you shouldn't know why the Tang Ze family would work so hard to make games? We were originally engaged in production and distribution, and we have already made a lot of money, why do we have to make games, to do such a thankless task. Tang Zekaiyan first nodded, and then shook his head and said.

"Well, I really don't know, although the third party sometimes makes money really quickly, but it shouldn't be enough to drive you to work so hard. Li Fangcheng thought for a while and said.

"Yes, if it's just to make money, we don't have to put so much effort into it. Tang Zekaiyan said with a wry smile: "However, whether it is my father or us, our family is born with an inexplicable love for games, and I didn't have the opportunity or ability to make games before, but now that we have money and Sega, we just want to make games, this feeling...... It's that kind of eager, very eager emotion, a kind of obsession that you may not understand. ”

"It's not ...... for the time being," Li Fangcheng strengthened the word temporary.

"For the time being, I understand, no matter what, I have to ask you to wait, Sega will definitely show the greatest sincerity to cooperate with Mr. Li. Tang Zekaiyan breathed a sigh of relief and motioned to call.

Li Fangcheng made a gesture of please, and watched Tang Zekaiyan go outside to make a phone call alone.

And at this moment, not far from Li Fangcheng's hotel, an old man wearing a kimono and clogs was visiting the shrine, and at the moment he was washing his hands while listening to the phone held up by his assistant, which was reporting some things.

"It's better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail...... That's what the young man said?"

"Yes, that's exactly what he said. On the other end of the phone, it was Noko Arakawa.

The old man turned around, slowly wiped his hands clean, and said to the frightened woman on the other end of the phone, "Yezi, you have disappointed me too much. ”

"Hey, let the president punish you!" Noko Arakawa was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and she almost couldn't hold the phone.

Noko Arakawa's head looked at the ceiling, the mist in her eyes was a little filled, from entering Nintendo two years ago to now, no one knows how much she has paid for this position, with her age and qualifications, in fact, it can't be counted, it is precisely because of the hard work day after day, others work 8 hours, she works 12 hours, others work 10 hours, she even does 15 hours.

Persistent efforts and perseverance have made great contributions to Nintendo's market development projects in Europe, and some people have even vaguely compared her with Minoru Arakawa's achievements in developing the market in North America.

This makes Noko Arakawa full of motivation and desire.

And now, right now.

Under the emperor's order, he had to die!

All efforts have come to naught!

At this time, it is useless to say anything, Nintendo, or the old man on the other end of the phone, will not give her any more chances.

This is the anger and disappointment from the emperor, no one can resist it, at least she can't resist!

The despair in Noko's eyes grew more and more solemn, and she knew that the next step was to wait for the sentence.

She, the end of the abandoned son!

Hard work and resentment, in exchange for the ending!

Scold~
