"It's okay if Nintendo is willing to be a third-party game developer, but it is actually ambitious and wants to take a piece of the pie from the home game console market, this is unbearable!" Li Zetian sneered in his heart, and a trace of ruthless coldness flashed in his eyes. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, it is no wonder that Li Zetian is so aimed at Nintendo, as the saying goes, "If you don't die when you fight a snake, you will suffer from it", who made the other party so awesome in his previous life, if he let it develop, it will be difficult to say what will happen after that, and it is likely to subvert the hegemony of Flamingo Company.

Chairman Mao said: "Strategically we must despise the enemy, and tactically we must attach importance to the enemy!"

In this life, Nintendo was frustrated, and its financial resources and talent and technology were much worse than in the previous life, Li Zetian no longer listed Nintendo as his number one enemy, but in terms of specific tactics, Li Zetian still attached great importance to the other party and tried to defeat it as much as possible!

In addition, it is also an example to other companies that are ready to move in their hearts and want to enter the home game console market!

Li Zetian wants them to know that the home game console market belongs to the Flamingo company, which company dares to enter this market, see if I don't kill him, let him fall into the same fate as Nintendo!

In this way, the Flamingo company has established a strong prestige, and if any company dares to set foot in the home game console market in the future, it will have to weigh its own strength.

Without competitors, the Flamingo Company would be able to form a monopoly and make high profits, which is naturally not a problem.

At this time, the Flamingo Company and Nintendo Company competed against each other, which has caused a huge shock in the industry!

Third-party game developers, as well as companies looking to make the move into home consoles, are feeling the chill. Obviously, the Flamingo company wants to bring down Nintendo with its very firm attitude, and the FC price is low, so the price of the Flamingo-1 is lower than that of the FC. Nintendo gave away game cartridges, and the Flamingo Company also sent game cartridges.

For players, there are not many games on FC, but there are so many more options on Flamingo-1, plus the Flamingo company is so famous, as a player, there is no doubt that the first choice will be to buy the Flamingo-1 console.

In fact, it is.

After the Flamingo Company launched a promotional campaign, it set off a craze for buying Flamingo-1 game consoles, and Nintendo's FC sales plummeted, and Nintendo's internal rush was like ants on a hot pot.

"President Yamauchi, the Flamingo Company wants to kill us!"

"Yes, all the means are competing against Nintendo!"

"Because of the royalty system, many companies are not used to the Flamingo company, and even have the idea of setting up their own portal and building their own game console platform! Nintendo launched the game console at this time, and it happened to hit the muzzle, and the Flamingo company doesn't take Nintendo's knife, who will open the knife?!"

"Bagaya Road, the Flamingo Company is simply disgusting!"

“……”

The crowd was abusive.

It's just that what else can they do now but scold?

Yamauchi frowned, and his heart was also very anxious. He can see that the Flamingo Company is determined to suppress Nintendo Company fiercely.

At this moment, Yamauchi suddenly felt regret, shook his head, and sighed in his heart: "I knew that today, I wouldn't have allowed Nintendo to enter the home game console market in the first place, tens of millions of dollars of investment and several years of energy have been wasted, if this time it fails, Nintendo will definitely break its muscles and bones, and it will collapse!"

Yamauchi Pu knows very well that this confrontation with the Flamingo Company is inevitable that he will be banned in the future.

There was a lot of quarrel in the office, like a vegetable market.

Yamauchi Pu propped his hands on the table, holding his chin, and at present, there was a mess in front of him, and he felt a headache and upset!

A week later, FC sold less than 10,000 units, which was a failure, which also led to Nintendo's failure to win over third-party game developers.

In the shopping mall, profit is paramount, FC has not sold many machines, how many games can be expected to be sold on this platform?

At this moment, Nintendo is facing a dilemma, FC sales are low, but Nintendo has to spend a lot of money to develop games on the platform, which is obviously a loss-making business, but if you don't do this, where will FC have sales!

……

Flamingo Corporate Headquarters, CEO's Office.

Nolan Bushnell smiled and said to Li Zetian: "Mr. Li, it seems that Nintendo should not be able to make any waves!"

Li Zetian said lightly: "Don't jump to conclusions too early, Flamingo Company must be vigilant at this moment, lest competitors have a chance to turn around!" Li Zetian paused and reminded, "Right now, Flamingo Company must work hard to do a good job in the development of Flamingo-2 game consoles and related game software." In addition to the Flamingo, third-party game developers must be contacted and asked to work closely with Flamingo to develop the game! Since Flamingo-2 uses CDs as the game storage medium, it is naturally impossible to use game cartridges. In other words, the Flamingo-2 console is not compatible with the Flamingo-1 console, which is our biggest problem! So, when the Flamingo-2 is released, there must be a lot of new games, but the quality of the game must be guaranteed. If you don't have enough good games, you can delay the release time of Flamingo-2!

Nolan Bushnell nodded, "Well, okay, Mr. Li, don't worry, I'll take care of these things." ”

Later, Li Zetian chatted with Nolan Bushnell about Flamingo's overseas development layout.

Nolan Bushnell said that so far, Flamingo has established game development branches in 28 countries and regions around the world, including the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and France. In addition, we have established partnerships with many film and television companies to adapt movies into games, or games into movies and cartoons.

Li Zetian nodded frequently after hearing this, was very satisfied, thought about it and said: "Flamingo can try to diversify its development, it is not just a game development company, I hope that Flamingo can thoroughly tap the value of a game, such as establishing its own toy company, manufacturing its game character toys, such as establishing its own film and television company, creating movies and animations belonging to Flamingo Company, and establishing Flamingo Game Park, establishing game novels, comic magazine publishing houses, etc. What we want to do is to build a huge game entertainment empire!!"

After listening to Li Zetian's bold words, Nolan Bushnell was very excited and excited, "Mr. Li, Flamingo Company will definitely become a very great company!"

"I hope so!" Li Zetian smiled faintly and reminded, "However, what I said before needs to be done slowly and not in a hurry! Don't forget what the essence of Flamingo is! This is a company with games as the core, and the better the quality of the game, the easier it will be for us to build game IP !!"

"Hmm!"

The word IP was actually very unfamiliar in the 80s, but because it was often pronounced in Li Zetian's mouth, it became a hot word.

Creating value around IP has become a business consensus!

……

Three days later, Flamingo brought together more than a dozen of its subsidiaries, including Namco, Konami and Koei, for a meeting and asked them to develop a new game for the Flamingo-2 console.

With the news coming out, the industry couldn't help but be shocked.

"Uh, Flamingo's new game console was developed so quickly?! It is said that it is also the world's first game console equipped with a 16-bit processor with super performance!!

"I heard that the second generation of Flamingo consoles made a huge and disruptive innovation, which shocked all the heads of the Flamingo subsidiary at that time!"

"My friend, who works as an assistant to the CEO of Namco, said that she saw the Flamingo 2nd generation console in person, and it was so cool that it looked like a flying saucer!!!

"Wow! Chronos-Li is out again, and the Flamingo-2 game console must be very awesome!!"

"Hehe, it doesn't need to be said!"

“……”

Nintendo was struck by lightning, it took several years to develop FC is only an 8-bit game console, and in a blink of an eye, Flamingo's 16-bit processor is about to come out!

FC's only performance advantage will soon be overtaken. What else can Nintendo compete with The Flamingo Company?

Some third-party game development companies that have "objections" and have secret communication with Nintendo saw the posture of Flamingo Company, and even the 16-bit game console was about to be developed, and the fire in their hearts was immediately extinguished, and they immediately shamelessly contacted Flamingo Company, willing to be willing to be a "third-party game development worker".

Nintendo Corporation, headquarters.

"How can this be?!" Yamauchi's eyes were bloodshot, he had just received the news that almost all third-party game developers had abandoned Nintendo. At the same time, the Flamingo Company announced that all game consoles and game cartridges that are not damaged within one year of the Flamingo Company can be traded-in, but a part of the funds need to be added. As soon as the news spread, it was as if an atomic bomb had been dropped among the players, causing a huge sensation. Sales of the Flamingo-1 skyrocketed, while the FC was largely unsalable.

The previous confrontation had already made Nintendo very uncomfortable, and now it has shown the big move of "trade-in", which is simply so powerful that Nintendo almost feels desperate!

"Aren't you afraid of losing profits if the Flamingo Company trades in the old for the new?" Yamauchi angrily threw off a blue and white vase on the table.

If Li Zetian knew about his question, he would have liked to tell him.

In addition, it will not take long for Chinese mainland to be rampant, and the old goods will be repackaged and sold in China, and the price is cheaper than pirated game consoles such as Xiaobawang, which can not only combat piracy, but also make money, killing two birds with one stone!"
