Chapter 127: Refusal
"Honor's future business direction is mainly to develop computer games, handheld, console, arcade and other types of games, Honor is not very interested. Xu Qing lied.
Minoru Arakawa's eyes widened, he looked at Xu Qing in disbelief, and said, "You mean the kind of computer game that uses a bulky machine to play games?"
Cumbersome machine? Minoru Arakawa's evaluation of the computer is actually like this, Xu Qing feels quite funny.
"Yes, the kind of games that run on bulky machines will be the main business of Honor in the future. ”
Arakawa Shili shook his head a few times and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, with all due respect, computer games have no development prospects, computers are bulky, expensive, and cannot be carried at any time.
Moreover, computer games are the way the keyboard is operated, which is much worse than the operation of the controller and buttons, and not many people will like to play computer games. ”
It's not surprising that today's computer games are a comparison between fireflies and Hirotsuki compared to handheld game genres.
Nowadays, the vast majority of computer games are computer games, and because there are no strong game manufacturers willing to develop computer games.
There are very few people who play computer games, much fewer than those who play games like handhelds.
But Arakawa could not have imagined that this year the Internet would begin to explode, with more and more people connected to the Internet, and the hardware performance of computers becoming more and more powerful, and computer games began to develop as a result.
Xu Qing would not tell Arakawa about these situations, and Xu Qing continued to lie: "If Honor develops handheld games, it can't compete with Nintendo, so it can only make a living by developing computer games." ”
"Honor does not need to compete with Nintendo, it can become a third party of Nintendo and develop games for Nintendo, and the benefits will not be less. Minoru Arakawa said confidently.
"Nintendo's third-party competition is too fierce, and Honor doesn't want to be an affiliate of Nintendo. Xu Qing shook his head and refused.
"Third parties are not affiliates of Nintendo and have a lot of freedom. Minoru Arakawa explained.
Xu Qing despised Minoru Arakawa in his heart, indeed, in a legal sense, a third party is not a subsidiary of Nintendo, and Nintendo rarely occupies a stake in a third-party company.
However, in terms of actual influence, the third party is an affiliate of Nintendo, and it can even be said that it is worse than the affiliate.
Nintendo has tied third-party game development companies to Nintendo in various ways, such as royalties and cassettes, and these companies are equivalent to working for Nintendo.
Even Capcom, Konami, Namco, Hudson, and Teto, the five top third-party companies known as the Nintendo Five Tigers, can't help themselves, and it depends on Nintendo's face.
However, Nintendo's harsh system was later counterattacked, and a large number of third-party companies, including the Nintendo Five Tigers, left and switched to Sega and Sony.
These are the reasons why Honor does not want to become a third-party company of Nintendo, and of course, the more important reason is that Xu Qing wants to become a first-party company.
Like Nintendo, Sega, and later Sony, Microsoft, Ubisoft, EA, first-party companies like now.
Only the first-party company can truly control its own destiny and do what it really wants to do, and there is no need to look at the face of this one.
"Mr. Minoru Arakawa, you know better than me whether the third-party company is a subsidiary of Nintendo, so let's stop for today's meeting, and I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. Xu Qing said
Minoru Arakawa's lips moved a few times, and before he came, he thought of a strategy of softness and hardness, softness is a better attitude and a better speech.
The hard thing is that if Xu Qing does not agree to transplant the electronic pet to the GB handheld, he will use Nintendo's strength to threaten the future development of Honor Company, and the sales will be suppressed by Nintendo.
Minoru Arakawa is confident in this threat to him, and few of the companies that Nintendo has suppressed survived.
What I never expected was that Xu Qing didn't follow the routine, and actually said that Honor's main business in the future would be to develop computer games, and he was not interested in handheld games.
Nintendo is invincible in the field of handheld games, but it has no strength in the field of computer games, how can it suppress Honor?
Minoru Arakawa didn't say anything ruthless, and left the Glory Company directly.
He could feel that Xu Qing's attitude was very firm and would not change, and he told Yamauchi Pu what happened at the meeting.
Yamauchi did not blame Minoru Arakawa, but instructed Minoru Arakawa to pay attention to the situation of Honor Company, and Minoru Arakawa understood what Yamauchi Pu meant, and promised to pay serious attention to the situation of Honor Company.
On the other side of the glory company, Xu Qing and Danning were in the general manager's office, and Danning said to Xu Qing with some concern:
"The boss, with Nintendo's strong style, if they don't agree to their cooperation, they may suppress Honor. ”
"It doesn't matter, in the future, Honor's main business will be computer games, and Nintendo can't suppress Honor. Xu Qing waved his hand.
"Honor really won't develop handheld games in the future?" asked Danning.
"Handheld games must be developed, but they are not Honor's main business, and you don't need to worry about Nintendo's suppression of handheld games.
Because when we release handheld games, Nintendo may not have the energy to suppress us. ”
Xu Qing's eyes were long, and by the time Honor released the handheld game, Nintendo was already embattled.
Seeing that Xu Qing was not worried, Danning didn't say any more, and turned to talk about electronic pets.
The sales of electronic pets are becoming more and more popular, and Wal-Mart, Carrefour, and Aeon Group have taken the initiative to request to expand their sales stores.
Now the vast majority of the stores of the supermarket group that cooperates with Honor have electronic pets on the shelves, and the coverage area of electronic pets is larger and the sales speed is faster.
The bookstores also mainly asked for an extension of the sales hours of the e-pets in the store, because the sale of e-pets increased the sales of books in the bookstore, and the share of the e-pets was also a considerable benefit.
These bookstores, which originally focused on selling books, couldn't help it.
"Is there any piracy of electronic pets on the market? Xu Qing asked suddenly.
"Nothing has been found yet. Denning replied.
"Always be aware of any piracy of electronic pets on the market, and report it to me as soon as you find it. ”
"Okay. ”
With the popularity of electronic pets and the difficulty of production, it will not be long before piracy will appear in the market.
Piracy cannot be completely eradicated, but Xu Qing hopes to control piracy within a reasonable range.
Xu Qing talked to Denning about the annual meeting again, and on January 5, all the companies under Xu Qing attended the annual meeting together.
At the first annual meeting, Xu Qing was ready to make a big one.
