Chapter 160: Nintendo's ban

At 11:50, West and the others came out of the conference room, and Xu Qing greeted him and asked, "How do you feel?"

West excitedly: "I was a little nervous at the beginning, I almost asked the wrong question, but then it was fine, and it was amazing and fun to interview people." ”

Knoll also had an excited look on his face, but not as heavily as West.

"It's lunchtime, I'll take you to a nice restaurant. Xu Qing took the three of West to the most expensive restaurant nearby and ordered a table of the most expensive food.

West and Knoll took time off to help with the interview, and although with the ability of the two of them, most of the courses could not be missed, but they finally asked for leave to help.

It's not good to give them money directly, Xu Qing simply invited them to a big meal during the interview.

During the meal, Xu Qing brought up the question of interview efficiency, and West said that they would speed up the interview and try to complete the interview within 5 days.

Xu Qing knew that it was a bit difficult to let West interview an average of 11 people a day, but there was no way, Xu Qing wanted to make Future Company run as soon as possible.

Because according to the information learned during this time, the Internet in this life is likely to explode in advance, to Xu Qing's surprise, I don't know if it was Xu Qing's butterfly that caused the butterfly effect.

At the same time, it also reminded Xu Qing that many things will change the trajectory in the future, but Xu Qing knows how the general trend will go in the future, and some local changes cannot weaken Xu Qing's advantages.

Five days later, Xu Qing and West had just finished interviewing all the interviewees.

Xu Qing hadn't worked continuously for so long, and after 5 days, he was a little tired.

West's mental state is worse than Xu Qing's, and their interview intensity is greater than Xu Qing's.

Looking at the faces of West and Noel, Xu Qing thought that he should send them something as a reward.

So two of the best computers on the market appeared on the West and Knoll dorm desks.

West and Noll are very grateful to Xu Qing, both computers cost tens of thousands of dollars, which can be said to be a very expensive gift.

In this interview, a total of 6 people passed the management position, 32 people passed the technical position, and there were some positions of relatively low importance.

Xu Qing made a pot of chicken soup for these people and began their official work, and they will work with people from Stanford's computer department to build a website.

After dealing with the affairs of Future Company, Xu Qing received an urgent message from Denim, Nintendo blocked the Glory Group!

"Boss, I received a call from Minoru Arakawa, president of Nintendo North America, this morning, and he said that Nintendo will ban the Honor Group from today. Denning said in fear.

"He personally called you and said that Nintendo was going to ban the Honor Group. Xu Qing was shocked.

"Yes, at first I thought someone was pretending to be Minoru Arakawa to make a joke, but a minute after Minoru Arakawa called, I received calls from several third parties to stop developing games for the Honor Group.

Then there were more and more calls from third parties, as well as calls from gaming hardware companies, and in just over an hour, I received dozens of calls to stop cooperating. ”

Denning's expression became more and more panicked, this is the ban of the world's game tyrant Heaven! In the past, Nintendo had banned several game companies, and without exception, these game companies were all banned and closed down.

Although the Honor Group now has a lot of funds, its strength is very weak, can it withstand Nintendo's ban?

Unbeknownst to Danning, his heart had become dazed when he had answered those dozens of phone calls.

Seeing that the development of Glory Group is getting better and better, is it about to fall?

"I'll think about it first. Xu Qing sat on the sofa, his brain spinning rapidly.

Nintendo's ban Xu Qing was expected, but what I didn't expect was that Nintendo's ban was so fast, from Xu Qing's announcement to develop handheld games to now, it has not been a month since Nintendo's ban came.

Moreover, Minoru Arakawa actually called Denning directly and said that Nintendo was going to ban the Glory Group, which means that Nintendo's blockade is very strong!

Xu Qing speculated that the reason why Nintendo blocked the Honor Group now was probably because the Honor Group acquired Atari.

Atari used to be a more powerful first party than Nintendo, and now it is in decline, but the heritage is still there, and the Honor Group acquired Atari, at least with the ability to develop handhelds.

Then the Honor Group will recruit some third-party development games, coupled with Xu Qing's financial resources, then a good first party will appear, which will pose a threat to Nintendo.

Nintendo is really cautious, all the first party that shows signs of rise will block it as soon as possible, not to let it grow, Nintendo doesn't know how many first parties have been killed over the years.

"How many other third-party, sales channels, and game hardware companies are willing to cooperate with Honor Group?" asked Xu Qing.

"There are also 4 third-party companies, 2 gaming hardware companies. Denning said bitterly.

Xu Qing was silent again, a successful handheld, hardware performance and game content are very important.

If you want to make the handheld have strong hardware performance, you can't do without the support of game hardware companies, there are many game hardware companies in the world, but there are very few game hardware companies that meet Xu Qing's requirements.

Now there are only 2 game hardware companies willing to cooperate with Xu Qing, how does Xu Qing make handhelds?

Not to mention the game content, it needs the support of a large number of third-party game development companies, and only relying on the Honor Group to develop the game, then the appeal of the handheld produced will be very weak.

Nintendo's handheld games have at least dozens, or even hundreds, and there are only a few games in the handheld of the Honor Group, so it is clear who consumers choose.

Originally, Nintendo's influence on global gamers is unparalleled, if the handheld developed by the Honor Group cannot compare with Nintendo in terms of hardware performance and game content, the end will be the same as the Atari collapse!

"I'll take care of this, you reassure the people in the company and try not to have a mass resignation. Xu Qing said.

Xu Qing walked out of Denim's office and walked around the office area of Honor Group, and saw that most of the people's expressions were quite calm.

Leaving the Glory Group, Xu Qing called Minoru Arakawa: "Mr. Minoru Arakawa, Nintendo must block the Glory Group?"

Arakawa really heard Xu Qing's words on the other side of the phone, and laughed for a few seconds before saying:

"Mr. Xu, in fact, I don't want to block the Glory Group, but I can't help it, your Glory Group's ambitions are too big and threaten the interests of Nintendo, so you can only strangle the Glory Group in the cradle. ”

Xu Qing hung up the phone, he didn't say anything cruel to Arakawa, it was meaningless.

Sooner or later, the Glory Group will collide with Nintendo, so let's start with this battle of blockades!
