Chapter 87: Decide on an idea
Sony's starting path was to use Nintendo to borrow chickens and eggs.
The result was the PS console, one of the console Xeon series, which shook Nintendo and Sega, starting with a contract full of intrigue and becoming the hegemon of the second era of video games.
In terms of performance, many people think that Sony was cheated by Nintendo, and when making the disc, Nintendo chose to launch it, but what was absolutely unexpected was that Sony had huge ambitions from the beginning.
How is it possible for a top international company to enter the video game market just for a small profit?
If the plot is not big, why waste so many manpower, material and financial resources?
In particular, there is the presence of Ken Kutaraki.
It is undeniable that at the beginning, in addition to planning the core technology of the console, Sony did have the idea of cooperating with Nintendo to publish, after all, Sony had just set foot in, even if it got the core technology of the console, but for the follow-up production, software lineup, publicity and distribution, etc., there are still many places that are in a situation where they are half-understood.
Therefore, in the cooperation with Nintendo, he even did not hesitate to use most of the funds to set up a production workshop.
The investment of more than 100 billion yuan was taken out so ruthlessly.
But Sony didn't expect that Nintendo had actually understood Sony's intentions, and when the production workshop was completed, Nintendo resolutely chose to quit.
For Sony, which has always been complacent, it is tantamount to taking a salary from the bottom of the kettle.
The early stage was smooth sailing, and suddenly faced such a huge blow.
But Sony is Sony, with many talents, a soul figure stood up at this time and became a soul figure like Hiroyuki Suzuki to Sega and Gunpei Yokoi to Nintendo.
Kutaragi Ken!
It was at the board meeting that time, when it came time to decide whether or not to withdraw from the video game market, that the man stepped up.
A small number of directors feel that they have come to this point and should continue to walk, but the other half of the directors believe that Sony should stop losses in time when it is not clear and unclear about the entire industry.
At this time, Ken Kutaragi stood up and said: "In the position of game consoles, if we coax, Sony will become the laughing stock of others for the rest of their lives." ”
This sentence made these retreating directors wake up one after another, Sony is a top company, and if you retreat, you will never have a chance!
Nintendo has chosen not to cooperate with Sony, and Sega knows about the cooperation between Sony and Nintendo, and will not choose to cooperate with Sony.
So at this time, there is no way to retreat, but to face the difficulties.
It is precisely because of the firmness of Kutara Muken that after coming up with a feasible plan in the follow-up, he chose to continue to walk, and this time he let the video game market come out of a hegemon!
It's hard to imagine how terrible the ripple effects of a contract can be.
It can be said that if Nintendo did not sign that contract.
will not open Pandora's box and release a hegemon above Nintendo and Sega.
Nintendo will not fall the empire either.
Therefore, every time Li Fangcheng signs a contract, he brings special personnel to formulate the contract or review the contract, of course, the contract signed this time is equivalent to the renewal of the contract, so Li Fangcheng basically confirmed that there is no problem with the contract signed before.
As long as it is strictly controlled and does not give Sega the right to develop and develop, then Sega will not be able to launch games with the same or similar kernels during the contract period.
Otherwise, Miracle Times can take Sega to court with a single piece of paper.
After the signing was completed, Li Fangcheng went to the room where Ling Donghua was a few people.
"Boss, what's the matter, Nintendo didn't embarrass us, right?" As soon as he entered the door, Ling Donghua immediately asked.
"No, they didn't have time to win us over, how could they be embarrassed, what about you, okay. Li Fangcheng looked at everyone with a concerned face.
"Nintendo was also very polite to us, in addition to sending people to follow us. Ping Xiangtong said calmly.
"Well, that's good. After Li Fangcheng knew that there was nothing wrong with everyone, he also put his mind at ease.
"I didn't expect that as soon as we became famous, there were so many rights and wrongs. Lin Ying'er also sighed softly.
"Normal, and then there's trouble. When Li Fangcheng talked about this, he couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
The problem of the Tang Ze family has not been thought out yet.
It's exciting, but it also comes at a great cost to rebuild a team.
And the current team has its own tasks on it, if you have to force a team in, the consequence is likely to be that the team that originally cooperated well is completely messed up, which is the most terrible thing.
There is not much time left for the Age of Miracles, there are so many games to be done, each one is extremely time-consuming, if the original plan is to be completed, it is not completed, then it will not be able to catch up with the release of MD, and the loss is the most terrible!
Thinking of this, Li Fangcheng couldn't help but say irritably: "You guys pack up your things and leave early tomorrow morning." ”
After finishing speaking, Li Fangcheng walked to the balcony by himself, leaving a room of people looking at each other.
Looking into the distance and feeling the cold winter, my thoughts are still a little chaotic.
In the final analysis, Li Fangcheng has never experienced the situation where others have sent hundreds of millions of dollars in assets to him.
No matter how much I have seen in my previous life, I have not been more tormented by this personal experience.
Those who have seen it are often because they have not experienced it personally, so they often look at things from a third perspective, without a sense of substitution, and of course they don't feel the complex psychology brought about by this kind of thing.
Now Li Fangcheng understands a little bit that sometimes those who accept bribes are not unforgivable because they really have a lot of evil, and a single thought often represents completely different consequences.
Desire is one of the driving forces for everyone to live in the world.
"What's wrong?" Ping Xiangtong's voice sounded softly beside him.
"What's wrong?" Li Fangcheng subconsciously asked.
Ping Xiangtong looked straight at Li Fangcheng, and suddenly laughed out loud: "You almost wrote the words 'I'm annoying' on your face." ”
"Uh. Li Fangcheng smiled awkwardly, as if it was true, in front of them, he subconsciously forgot to cover up, this boss should be disrespectful.
"Do you want to know, or do they want to know?" Li Fangcheng coughed twice to hide his embarrassment.
Ping Xiangtong tilted her head, blinked her big eyes and asked, "Is there a difference?"
Li Fangcheng struggled in his heart, thought about it and nodded and said: "There is a difference, if you want to know, you can tell you, they want to know, forget it, there are things that can't be said to too many people...... After all, it is easy to affect everyone's emotions......"
"I want to know. Ping Xiangtong smiled and said with a smile that Li Fangcheng looked like something was going on.
Taking a deep breath, Li Fangcheng said everything about the Tang Ze family to be attached to the Age of Miracles.
Ping Xiangtong was in a frightened heartbeat, and listened to what Li Fangcheng said.
So in the end, I was very hesitant to say yes or not. Li Fangcheng smiled bitterly and said his hesitation.
"Actually, the Miracle Age has been established for such a short time, isn't it time and talent that are most lacking?" asked Ping Xiangtong after calming down.
"Hmm. Li Fangcheng seemed to know something.
"Isn't that it? Since someone can help us make up for the shortcomings in these two aspects, why don't we agree?" Ping Xiangtong looked at Li Fangcheng and asked directly.
It's like a thunderclap from the bottom, and Li Fangcheng's hesitation is completely blown up!
That's right, why hesitate to ask this question? Actually, this question shouldn't exist.
If you miss this opportunity, where else will you find so much talent?
A family that can start from scratch must have a lot of capable people who can support it.
Otherwise, how can it accumulate enough capital to become a third party in more than ten years?
And talent, for the Age of Miracles, is the most missing piece.
The most worrying thing about the miracle era is technology.
Before, I was worried about funds, but now the funds are constantly in place, so what is really lacking now is people and time!
Don't look at the fact that there is a good team now, but in the whole world, it is just a drop in the ocean.
If you want to involve all other aspects of the industry later, this point is still missing in the eyes of even the management.
The firmness of his eyes, as he thought clearly, became more and more radiant.
Sure enough, that sentence was confirmed, and the authorities were fascinated by bystanders.
What about having an extra R&D team? What I have in mind is the idea of a game, and there are a lot of good games, so let Meng Hao take the lead and open up a new project team.
"Thank you, Xiang'er, for thinking too much. Li Fangcheng took a deep breath and said with a smile at Ping Xiangtong.
"I still remember what you said, entrepreneurs, you should be fearless, otherwise even the boss will back down, we shrimp soldiers and crab generals, can not have this ability to turn the world upside down. Ping Xiangtong couldn't help but quip.
Li Fangcheng's body was shocked, and he immediately laughed: "Haha, that's right! We, but we are the ones who want to create miracles!"
The two looked at each other and smiled, and it was not clear.
With a decision, a lot of things are simpler.
Li Fangcheng walked into the house and watched several people chatting.
Coughing twice, seeing that everyone's attention was on him, Li Fangcheng smiled and said, "Let me tell you a piece of news, the Tang Ze family is ready to unite with the Miracle Age, and all of them will merge into the Miracle Era." ”
In an instant, several people behaved differently.
Ling Donghua opened his mouth wide, Meng Hao subconsciously opened his eyes, and Lin Ying'er also opened her small mouth slightly, with a look of surprise.
"This, really?" Ling Donghua was a little stunned.
"Well, I haven't answered them yet, on the condition that we get 51% of the shares, but we have to involve a team of developers in making the game. Li Fangcheng did not go into details.
"That's not bad, there are quite a few of them, right?" Ling Donghua asked.
"I don't think anyone knows this question better than Lin Ying'er. Li Fangcheng looked at Lin Ying'er with a smile.
