These words made Li Fangcheng feel that there was a deliberate sense of targeting.

"Hehe, President Zhongshan is relieved, I don't dare to say anything else in the Miracle Era, I am not afraid of anyone to make games, we have absolute confidence!" Li Fangcheng paused: "As for the game, is President Zhongshan still not at ease about the three games produced in the Miracle Era?"

"Your company's three games are really good, but, hehe. Hayao Nakayama showed a meaningful smile: "Mr. Li came here this time, presumably there is something wrong with Sega?"

I don't know why, seeing this smile, Li Fangcheng felt a little sudden in his heart, as if Sega's attitude towards the Age of Miracles was a little different from before.

"That's right.,Miracle Times recently made a game.,Encountered some technical obstacles.,After the initial compression of the game.,The memory capacity exceeds the current size of 256K.,So,I want to discuss the solution with President Nakayama.。 Li Fangcheng thought about it, but still said it.

"The solution? Isn't this a fixed way? Lower the image quality, compress the memory, and that's it. This doesn't need to communicate, right?" Hayao Nakayama frowned and asked, if he came here on purpose, it would be such a trivial matter, and he would value the face of the Miracle Age too much, right?

"President Zhongshan doesn't know.,If it's just this way.,Of course I won't come over to trouble you.,The main thing is that Age of Wonders doesn't want to reduce the image quality of the game to meet the current cartridge capacity.,So we came up with two other ways.,I hope President Zhongshan can give some suggestions.。 Li Fangcheng took out a document and handed it over.

"One way is to expand the capacity, and the president of Nakayama should also know that expanding from 256K to 512K or even larger capacity, of course, the disadvantages are quite obvious, and the price will rise due to the rising cost. Li Fangcheng explained.

Suddenly, Hayao Nakayama raised his hand to stop Li Fangcheng from continuing: "Mr. Li, I saw that you wrote here that you hope to keep the level of the selling price unchanged, and that Miracle Times and Sega can jointly bear the additional costs." ”

"That's right, what's wrong?" Li Fangcheng wondered, this was a plan made in consideration of Sega's costs.

It can be said that no third party would do such a thing. And if it is another third party, it will never do this, after all, no matter how you look at it, the cassette is no longer under the control of the third party, and it is still taking part of the responsibility at this time, which is an unjustifiable problem.

"Li Jun, do you mean that you want to control the cost of the cassette?" Zhongshan Hayato looked at Li Fangcheng expressionlessly and nodded in confirmation before continuing: "No third party dares to make such a request, Mr. Li, I can understand that this is the first step towards the first party in the Age of Miracles?"

What? to the first party?

Li Fangcheng's heart was shocked!

"What does President Zhongshan mean by this?" Li Fangcheng suppressed the panic in his heart as if he was facing a great enemy, and asked calmly!

If another person said this, Li Fangcheng would not have such a big reaction, but who is this person in front of him?

President of Sega!!

One of only two first-party!

Once Sega has determined that the Age of Miracles has the intention to go to the first party, then you can imagine how fast the total collapse of the Age of Miracles will be in the future!

"Li Jun, the Miracle Era has made some good achievements, but don't forget that the third party has no pricing power, and all those who try to get involved in vain will become an unfriendly third party. Zhongshan Hayao said with a serious face: "What's more, Li Jun, you underestimate the cost, I won't disclose how much it costs, but I can tell you that you want to bear half of the additional cost, which is impossible, otherwise, you will face the possibility of loss." ”

"Loss?" asked Li Fangcheng with a frown.

"It seems that Li Jun is also making a game on the console for the first time. The sales of cassettes are not well understood. Hayabusa Nakayama frowned and explained a specific situation of the cassette.

Of course Li Fangcheng knows about the advance payment or something, but there is another difference, profit sharing.

No matter how much the cartridge is sold, Nintendo and Sega usually charge half of the cost of the selling price, that is to say, the profit of a cassette can actually be calculated clearly, if according to Li Fangcheng, then the likely consequence is the loss of the Miracle Era.

For example, for a cassette priced at 6,000 yen, 3,000 yen is Sega's income, and the other 3,000 yen is the income of the Miracle Era.

And this includes labor costs, publicity costs and so on.

If the additional cost is 2,000 yen of Sega's 3,000 yen income, then in the face of 3,000 yen, deduct half of the cost, that is, 1,000 yen, and you will be left with 2,000 yen of income.

If the income of 2,000 yen is deducted from various costs, it is not a matter of whether you can make money or not.

"So, what does President Zhongshan mean that this road will not work?" Li Fangcheng said helplessly after learning about it.

"That's right, unless, increase the price of cassette, but you can also guess the consequences, why the price of cassette is stable in a range, is because the price range of cassette is a certain range, beyond this range, the decline in sales is inevitable. Hayabusa Nakayama shook his head, really sighing at Li Fangcheng's ignorance, sure enough, the Age of Miracles still lacks experience in console games.

"In that case, President Nakayama might as well take a look at the second method. Li Fangcheng said unwillingly: "The second way is to have a technology to cut off the integrated block of the cassette and change it to another way, and the general method is like this......

Li Fangcheng explained the principle and idea of the black dot cassette, including his pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages, and said it all over again, and after finishing speaking, he looked at Nakayama Hayabusa's reaction with burning eyes.

One minute, two minutes...... Suddenly, Hayakuo Nakayama's hand trembled, and he slapped the paper in front of Li Fangcheng!

"Li Fangcheng, you have disappointed me so much, Sega, when did you use naïve technology for the sake of cost? What are the consequences of such a cassette made by such a technical method? Inferior cassette is simply the behavior of a low-level workshop! Sega, it will never accept such a production method! Mr. Li, if you still want your game to enter the core lineup of the console, you can either reduce the memory to the size of 256K, or wait for Sega to eliminate the core lineup of the Age of Wonders. Hayao Nakayama stood up and walked to the door: "Li Jun, give you a word of advice, Sega, it's the Sega of technology." ”

Happy New Year and all the best!
