(Three chapters early in the morning.,And replace.,The result is copied wrong.,I'm sorry.,It's right now)

Schulhoff's experience just now is a little bit of an afterthought in this plane.

But in the original history, it is a very valuable lesson.

According to the deduction of the parallel world, this lesson requires Nintendo to exchange the blood of a generation of products.

Historically, because in the 83~84 years of the game console market handover, Nintendo did not go head-to-head with Atari - Nintendo saw the collapse of Atari after entering a declining blank market and re-enclosure.

It's a bit like after the Ming Dynasty was killed by thieves, the Qing soldiers went directly to the customs to pick up the cheap. (Of course, the Qing soldiers fought the Ming Dynasty for many years outside the Guan, so this example is not appropriate.) Nintendo should be equivalent to a lucky dog who "has never fought with the Ming army at all, and directly picks up the thief mess". ）

Therefore, such a replacement of the old and the new has made game console practitioners all over the world pay less attention to the power of "first-party monopoly masterpieces".

I feel that "the main reason that determines the winner or loser of the game console industry is the hardware quality and cost performance of the game console, as for the exclusive game is not very important, first raise the share of the game console, and there will naturally be software vendors to tie you up and develop a good game for you."

As a result, the historical Nintendo, after dominating the global console industry for 12 years, suffered Waterloo - that is, the "Final Fantasy 7" defection.

I won't go into too much detail about it, so as not to get water.

In a word, it is the first masterpiece of the SFC era, "Final Fantasy 6", at the critical juncture when SFC is about to be eliminated and both sides have to iterate to N64/PS. Because Nintendo refuses to give special treatment to game developers, and is afraid that it will be difficult to bring the team after making a special one. And because Sony is a new entrant to the industry, it is required by the developer of the god work, and then "Final Fantasy 7" is changed to PS exclusive.

Finally, Final Fantasy 7 has sold a total of 100 million copies on the PS platform, which is double that of the 6th generation. At that time, most gamers were still hesitating about "whether to buy a PS or N64 for a new generation of machines", so they were pulled away by the banner of "exclusive "Final Fantasy 7" and became fans of Sony. (In 1996, before the FF7 was released, the N64 temporarily sold more than the PS, but after 97 years, the situation completely reversed, and the N64 ended up selling only a quarter of the PS's total global sales.) ）

This incident has sounded the alarm for game console manufacturers all over the world: there is no user stickiness and loyalty to such things as game consoles.

So, you can be tough in normal times, but once you catch up with the critical year of the game console system to be replaced, if you are sure that there is an eQue with outstanding appeal on the market, even if the game developer's conditions are harsh, or even if you want to ride on the head of the OEM and let the OEM be the grandson, you will have to temporarily agree to his conditions.

Otherwise, your country may collapse in an instant.

"Suo 100 million units", it is not an exaggeration to say that "Final Fantasy 7" was laid down for it. Regardless of the year, the game developers who always look down on the status of game developers and want to always maintain the strong "Party A" are destined to pay a heavy price.

A good host Party A should be tough for four or five years, and then kneel for a year or two, and so on. Hard when it should be hard, lick when it should be licked, retract and release freely, and repeat the cycle.

For example, the competition between Kun and Nintendo that is about to start today is also the same. Don't look at Tiankun's first-mover advantage, but if it weren't for the brilliant first-party monopoly masterpiece like "Future Soldier" to suppress the opponent, relying on hardware first-mover alone, it is still possible to be overturned by the opponent's explosive style.

Nintendo's FC, after all, it is possible to come up with a masterpiece like "Super Mario" to fight against Gu Ao's "Adventure Island 2", if Nintendo makes some popular shooting games, it may not be impossible to fight.

……

Schulhoff's expression is, of course, not as specific as the prophetic preconception summarized in Gu Wei's heart.

Therefore, after Shulhoff finished speaking, Gu Biao gave another outline, emphasizing that everyone must not be arrogant in the future. Even if the game consoles of Tiankun occupy the market in this generation, we must always be vigilant to the "risk of generational replacement" in order to prevent repeating the mistakes of Atari.

This kind of consciousness of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and the courage to be resolute, made the subordinates feel breathtaking.

"I'll be here today, I'll have Connor take you to the hotel in a moment, I still have some things, and we'll talk about the rest tomorrow." Gu Biao sent tea to the guests.

Shulhoff and the others got up to say goodbye.

William Clarke, who was on the side, looked embarrassed, and watched the others go out before he spoke: "I didn't bother you to handle business." Actually, I just came to express my gratitude today, but I didn't expect ......"

When he first arrived, Clark still had some doubts about Gu Biao, and was worried about what he was thinking about every day.

However, just now, after listening to the business meeting between Gu Biao and his subordinates for a while, Clark believed that Gu Biao really ignored things outside the window during this period of time, and was really competing for opportunities in the game console market.

Because the dry goods that Gu Biao and Schulhoff said are all really useful and insightful, which cannot be pretended.

The determination and courage that Schulhoff and others felt in the end, as well as the corresponding reaction, were also visceral.

Even William Clark, an old actor in diplomacy, can't see a flaw.

Therefore, a good person like Gu Biao, of course, just wants to help more friends and multiple ways, how can he calculate people.

Gu Biao waved his hand slightly to stop the other party from continuing to be polite, and motioned for the other party to sit down on the sofa, while saying slowly:

"Mr. Consultant, you're welcome, you're coming to the door, and I'm a little surprised. However, it is also an affirmation of Kissinger's tutor's academic level. I'm honored to be honored by him. ”

Gu Biao's words are very level, neither humble nor arrogant. Neither do they show off because they are kind to the other party, nor do they respect the other party's status because they are the national security adviser to the President of the United States.

On the contrary, it is very gestured to attribute everything to the teacher.

William Clark was also a half-man, and smiled slightly: "Professor Kissinger's ability is a long-tested and well-known to all in the United States. It was a blessing for the United States that he could continue to care about state affairs in Georgetown.

However, Gu You are proud of him, and naturally he also has good talents. This time, I have already inquired, from Grenada to Argentina, the most reliable contingency plan is Professor Kissinger to figure out and suggest together, as for the messed up part, it is that Schultz's staff is too hasty-

I believe that you will not be able to completely stay out of the part of Professor Kissinger's contribution, and I believe that you have at least provided a lot of creativity and perspective. This is tantamount to saving my political future, Gu, I hope to win your friendship. ”

National Security Advisor to the President of the United States, the No. 2 person in U.S. diplomacy, second only to the Secretary of State.

Such a person actually came to tell Gu Biao that he wanted to make a hardcore friend with him, and outsiders would probably find it incredible.

The former national security advisers who have friendships or intersections with Gu Biao cannot be said to be none. After all, his mentor, Kissinger, was a national security adviser before he became secretary of state.

and Brzezinski, who stepped on the pedal of people's upper positions back then, is also a national security adviser.

However, they made friends or tried to make friends with Gu Biao, all after they left office, not when they were in official positions.

Especially after Brzezinski's reputation was almost stinky after he left office, Gu Biao only maintained some basic contacts at the level of politeness, maintained this line, and did not want to be overly wooed for the time being.

Now, William Clark has made history.

On the other hand, William Clark did this at the right scale.

Because in terms of effect, it was indeed Gu Biao who saved his political future - this time, in response to the Grenada emergency, if he did not have the ability to find a strict excuse for the president to immediately use force and hear the testimony to win Congress, then what was the use of the president keeping him?

Historically, William Clark was fired by Li Gen for this ineffective handling, and the national security adviser looked at his very high status, but after all, he was the president's personal slave, and the president would be finished if he didn't want you.

Although he has not been fired, Clark is fully aware of the crisis that "if this had not been done in the first place, the president would have fired me." At this time, someone stretched out a life-saving straw, and he had to be grateful, otherwise he would not be able to get along in Watsonton's circle in the future, and there would be no one to help him.

Originally, Gu Biao just wanted to mess with the Argentines and New Zealanders and muddy the waters to make a profit.

Unexpectedly, the smoke grenades used as cover were released, but they received some other additional benefits.

The degree of this effect made him feel a little weak.

Gu Biao couldn't help but be tempted: "However, this time you did it in a hurry after all, I heard the professor say that it seems to have caused some blunt effects?"

William Clark sighed: "You have heard about it, but it's all right, it's the New Zealanders who are lost, not the Americans." We bite the bullet and don't relax, and then we take a bit of arrogance, and if we encounter arbitration, we will unconditionally support Argentina, and it will not be over soon. These small costs were acceptable compared to limiting Soviet exports. ”

It's not the Americans who pay anyway. Other younger brothers, shouldn't you pay for your eldest brother's medical malpractice, do you still want your eldest brother to compensate you?

Gu Biao was secretly happy, but his expression was "thunder in his chest, and his face was like frost", and he couldn't see any flaws at all.

It's been fooled.

If you want to blame, you can only blame the CIA for being too rough, and the one-line contact to issue the task, and then the improvisation is out of shape, and I can't understand which ABC case is the escort, and there is no way.

Gu Biao: "Yes, I've been really busy lately, and after talking to the professor about my ideas, I don't have time to care about these things - you know, my current main competitor, Nintendo, just launched a game console called FC at the end of last month.

I think about how to chase and intercept it every day, and how can I have the energy to think about anything else. Mr. Clark, when you analyze this, I suddenly became enlightened. ”

Clark: "Where, Gu, you're just too busy, with your IQ, if you really calm down, it won't be a few minutes to figure it out." In the future, as long as it is a win-win situation with the interests of the United States, you can come to me at any time. I believe that the Chinese people are friendly to the United States, in fact, even if you want to buy some advanced weapons or something, it is not negotiable - of course, you are in business, there may not be this demand, I just give an example. ”

Gu Biao: "I understand, I already feel Your Excellency's friendship." ”
