1060 Admit Defeat?
The current Yamauchi Pu is not the only overlord of the video game industry ten years later.
Although Nintendo has a clear advantage, they can't take advantage of the joint confrontation of Konami, Sega and Namco.
Especially on "Xiangjiang Cube", the three alliances gave Nintendo a hard blow, which really made Yamauchi a lot more sober.
Pu Yamauchi is definitely a smart person, and he has a very strong sense of foresight when it comes to video games, and he has his own unique ideas.
He, like another genius on the other side of the ocean, Joe's gang leader, has been doing closed design since the beginning of Nintendo.
Nintendo's home video game consoles can only allow games that meet their own set programs to run, and all manufacturers can only design games with the standards they give, and the games designed are only allowed to run and sell on Nintendo game consoles.
In the end, all the money from the sale was owned by Nintendo, and then they divided it among the design companies according to the agreement.
Glance!
ISN'T THIS THE MODEL OF THE APP STORE?
The completely closed, completely domineering operation mode completely cut off the future of other companies' free design and development, and only made their family grow abnormally.
In fact, it's not obvious yet, it will be a few more years, and when classic games such as Super Mario Bros. come out and Nintendo's red and white machines are fully formed, it will be a real monopoly pinnacle.
Nintendo relied on this hand to control almost the entire home video game console market, defeating game companies such as Sega, Konami, and Bandai.
If it weren't for the fact that Sony Games relied on Sony's huge strength to smash the artifact of PlayStation with money, I am afraid that until 2020, Nintendo will still be alone in this home video game market.
But in any case, Yamauchi, as an Oriental, can have such advanced thinking and make a closed system, which is really a great talent.
Such a person, when encountering difficulties, will definitely not simply complain, but will actively find a way to solve it.
So, the next afternoon, in the café of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Xiangjiang, Yin Jun saw Yamauchi Pu who rushed over from the dust.
Compared with the last time they met, Yamauchi Pu had a tired look on his face this time.
He had a whole day meeting yesterday and didn't come up with a solution.
Just as Yamauchi Pu said to Yokoi Gunpei, the design of a creative appearance, in a legal sense, does not matter whether it was invented or not, they only recognize the priority of the patent application.
Yin Jun took advantage of this, so no matter what they did, they couldn't get out of Yin Jun's pass.
According to what Yokoi Junpei said, holding a press conference to expose Yin Jun's suspicion of stealing ideas, in fact, before Yokoi Junpei said, Yamauchi Pu had already thought about whether to do this.
But soon Yamauchi gave up this immature idea.
Doing so, except for being able to vent and create a bad impression on Yin Jun, does not have any substantial benefits for Nintendo.
Even others will laugh at Nintendo, how can the things you develop be easily taken away by Yin Jun? Is this Yin Jun smart, or are you stupid?
What's more, as long as there is a press conference and says that Yin Jun steals ideas, then it is to offend Yin Jun to death, and if you want to get the permission to use the D-pad, then there is no possibility at all.
In order to be vindictive, he directly lost the only chance to turn over, and Yamauchi Pu is not so stupid.
Yes.
Yamauchi Pu came over today to get back the cross key patent that originally belonged to them through negotiations with Yin Jun.
As soon as he came up, Yamauchi's attitude was very low.
Seeing Yin Jun sit down, Yamauchi Pu stood up directly, bowed deeply, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Yin! The last time we met, my attitude was so bad, please forgive me for my rudeness!"
"It's okay, it's okay, to do business, naturally you have to use some means and methods, Mr. Yamauchi, you blame yourself too much!" Yin Jun also stood up with a smile and said.
Although he spoke enthusiastically, the boy knew that he did not feel guilty at all.
This is how they do business, when they have the upper hand, they will be fierce and kill their opponents, but when they are at a disadvantage, they will be very humble and pretend to be grandchildren.
Don't say it, many people eat their set, thinking that they have repented, or know the lesson, and finally let them go, so that the Japanese themselves have a chance to make a comeback.
The most famous one was the one after World War II, when they knelt and licked MacArthur.
As well as the U.S. troops stationed in Japan, staff, etc., all of them were served and curried favor with meticulously.
It was precisely because they were so insignificant that a few years later, when the coalition forces were in great trouble in Korea, MacArthur immediately remembered Japan and the military factories that were operating at full capacity a few years ago, so he gave Japan a lot of orders, which led to the first time that Japan had a flight on the ruins after the war.
After several years of fighting on the DPRK side, the Japanese side received orders for several years, not only for arms, but also for all kinds of daily necessities, and the amount was huge, so that Japan's dying heavy industry suddenly regained its vitality.
It is precisely under the leading role of these pillar industries such as Mitsubishi Heavy Industries and Mitsui Heavy Industries that various light industries, electronics industries, and consumer goods industries in Japan ...... And so on, it has only been so successively recovered and developed, to the point where no one was in sight in the 90s.
Yin Jun knew most of the Japanese himself was this kind of urine, so he looked at Yamauchi Puqian and Gong, and immediately became vigilant.
However, the ancestors are very religious, when we are hostile to some people, we don't have to show it on our faces, everyone is an actor, so why do we have to tear it on our face?
Yamauchi Pu didn't understand what Yin Jun was thinking, and he was relieved to see that Yin Jun's attitude was not bad.
What I am most afraid of is that Yin Jun is young and vigorous, and he doesn't talk about it, he just drives himself away.
He asked Yin Jun to sit down first, and then sat down again, "Mr. Yin, in fact, the reason why I came this time, I think you already know! I won't say any unnecessary apologies, and please focus on the overall situation and cooperate with us Nintendo, we will work together to achieve the greatest success, defeat the Americans, and become the number one in the world!"
"Mr. Yamauchi, what do you mean by that?" Yin Jun was startled.
Tomoyoshi Nakata went to Japan to personally guard the electronic substrate for the production of "Super Mario Bros.", and the design replenishment of Xiangjiang's side is also in secret, even if someone notices it, but how much difference can the appearance of the arcade machine be? They still think that Kirin Games is stocking up parts for "Xiangjiang Cube".
Could it be that Pu Yamauchi is so powerful that he knows about this game and wants to get ahead of Konami them?
But even so, there is no need for him to grovel so much, right?
Seeing Yin Jun's appearance, Yamauchi Pu thought that Yin Jun was pretending to be stupid, waiting for him to say it first, so he held back his shame and continued to say earnestly: "We just learned from the patent office that you have applied for a design patent for the cross key of a home game console in Japan...... Coincidentally, this is somewhat similar to one of our applications. It's a shame that we had a bit of a crash, but I'm glad we can see the same thing and think about it. ”
D-pad?
Only then did Yin Jun react.
No way?
Is it really ahead of Nintendo?
When he first applied for the D-pad patent, it was already the time when Nintendo started to do Game&atch, and Yin Jun applied for the patent for the D-pad with the idea of trying his luck if he could do it, and if he didn't work, forget it.
The first phase of the application is 18 months, and Yin Jun knows this.
But I've been a little busy lately, maybe the people in the company feel that the first stage of such a small patent has passed, there is no need to trouble him, and they want to wait until the second stage is completed and the overall situation has been decided, so Yin Jun doesn't know that he has passed the first stage!
All right!
The boy got excited, without the classic D-pad, I see how your Game&atch, and the Gameboy in the back, come out!
Compared with such a classic D-pad, whether it is Microsoft's XBOX or SONY's PlayStation, it is not so convenient to operate.
Countless people complained about the design of their up, down, left and right buttons, but there was no way, Nintendo firmly occupied the best design, and because of this, countless fans followed Nintendo fanatically, resulting in their sales profits have been super good since then.
Now that the D-pad is in your own hand, can Nintendo still be so good?
Definitely not!
Happy thoughts flashed, and Yin Jun returned to reality.
Looking at Yamauchi Pu's sincere face, Yin Jun was even more sincere: "Is it? I didn't expect such a coincidental thing, it's really the same as a hero!"
Yamauchi Pu smiled bitterly: "Mr. Yin, you don't have any plans to make a handheld game console, why did you suddenly think of applying for this patent?"
"The last time I went to Japan, one of the purposes was to apply for these patents and game ideas. Yin Jun said without changing his face: "For example, I applied for a patent for the "Xiangjiang Cube" we made. Of course, I have applied for all these patents not only in Japan and Japan, but also in the world. ”
And so it was!
Yamauchi's heart sank immediately.
Although he expected that Yin Jun would definitely not be so careless, before coming to Xiangjiang, he had already asked Nintendo's people to hurry up and apply for a patent for the D-pad around the world - whether it works or not, if it doesn't work, at most it will be rejected, if it succeeds, then Nintendo has not completely failed, and there is still the capital to negotiate!
However, Yin Jun's fluttering words completely shattered his hopes and made him hate Yin Jun even more!
