Chapter Seventy-One: Mr. Trump [Asking for Recommendation Votes!First Update]

"This is Mr. Trump, the head coach of the San Francisco Giants, the star team of Major League Baseball. Under his leadership, the San Francisco baseball team has gone from one glory to another, and is the pride of all San Franciscans and the hope of San Francisco baseball!"

Nick introduced to Takahashi, although Takahashi already knew about the life achievements of this Mr. Trump before this.

Mr. Trump's pale blonde hair looks quite rich, his shoulders are big and his waist is round, and he also looks very rich, listening to Nick's words, his chest is even bigger.

At this time, Nick turned around and introduced Takahashi to Mr. Trump, "This is Mr. Takahashi, the president of Manho Co., Ltd. In just two years after its establishment, Wanhu Entertainment has become the world's leading game manufacturer. There are several home console games that have sold more than one million, among which arcade machines such as "Tetris" and "Bubble Dragon" have also exceeded 300,000 and 100,000 respectively, making them a rising star in the game industry. ”

"Hello. ”

"Hello. ”

Mr. Trump and Mr. Takahashi greeted each other amicably after Nick's introduction, and then the two shook hands in a friendly manner.

The clenched hands shook and shook to the grandmother's bridge.

When he let go, both hands were already bloodless and a little pale because of the excessive force.

"Mr. Trump, I used to watch baseball games a lot when I was in Ben. I only learned about your prestige at the beginning of the narrator's mouth, saying that 'the San Francisco Giants are like real giants because of Coach Trump.'" I've admired you ever since, and it's such a blessing to have the privilege of meeting you today. Takahashi said.

Mr. Trump is like a wild animal in a zoo, although he lives in a civilized society, he still has a little bit of wildness in his bones.

He was still happy to hear Takahashi's almost nonsensical but well-researched compliments, but he said directly, "You don't need to compliment me like that, you came to me because you wanted to make that video game, right?" I've also received a lot of commercials, so if you want to use my name, let's talk about the price. ”

In the American sports industry, it is definitely a lucrative industry. Because there are countless people's entertainment activities, which are driven by sports competitions.

Tickets that people buy when they go to the site, the radio they listen to while driving, the TV they watch in the tavern. They are all banknotes that nourish the sports industry.

And in the United States, large-scale sports competitions are almost always clearly marked, how much is a player, how much is a coach. Depending on the fame, the price varies somewhat. Of course, coaching is a backstage job, far less than the boys in the front of the house can attract the screams of the girls, and cannot arouse the pursuit of the little boys.

As a result, older men who have become coaches often receive far less attention than active players.

And the degree of attention can be converted into monetary value, so the price of the coaches is also as much as that of the active players.

So why didn't Takahashi look for the agent, but found this Mr. Trump, who is his agent.

It's because the sports video games that can be produced at this stage will not have a player as the main selling point at all.

Because, under the current technical conditions, unless the players are made into a three-headed Q version of the character, even if the player is not a mosaic, it cannot make people tell who is who.

Because of the limitations of hardware, it means that almost all of the sports games that come out now are the type that leads the whole team to victory from the perspective of a coach.

Although in the actual game process, there will still be one player after another as the control character in the course of the game.

However, this kind of featureless player, even if he has a name, will not give players much sense of substitution. On the contrary, it would be better if I could put myself in the role of coach.

In addition to Nick, who came with Takahashi, there was also John, who had just joined Manho North America.

After John met Takahashi, who understood him, he became more open-minded, although he was still a little afraid to see more people. Fear of those people hurting themselves. There is still a tendency to hurt others before they speak. But he was able to overcome his fears and follow Takahashi to communicate with these people in reality, rather than the "people" in the tubes on paper.

Oddly enough, although John thinks that the future of games will be interactive and social, he himself has a social phobia and does not like to socialize.

Perhaps, it was this mixture of longing and fear that led him to the idea of building a game based on interaction and socialization on the Internet.

Takahashi appreciates Trump's direct asking price, but the previous courtesy and flattery are also essential. Although almost all of them will say that they don't like others to say flattering words.

However, often when these compliments are actually spoken, they are still enjoyable.

Trump is such a person, what Takahashi said at the beginning is just some general routines, but the effect at the moment is not bad.

"Ten thousand dollars. "We're going to pay $10,000 for the right to use your name, and only a master strategist like you can be worthy of our baseball game." We'd like to ask for your permission to put your name on Trump's Top of Baseball before our game?"

Although Trump is more or less a celebrity, he is very happy about this kind of thing that can promote his reputation more, or something that others give him money.

He said, "You have to do a good job! I'm going to supervise you, I'm going to make this game well! If you make a game like Aliens, I'm not going to allow it! Don't want to sell a game like that!"

"Of course not!" Takahashi replied with a calm expression, but Nick, who was in the blind spot on Trump's side, already had a happy expression on his face.

You must know that $10,000 is just a naming fee, but in fact, the ceiling of the expected naming fee is $100,000. In addition to the naming fee, there is another amount of money, which is the cost of directing the game.

You must know that no one who can program and make games knows baseball as Trump, the old fritter coach. With the guidance of professionals, you can really make a game look decent.

And the expected goal of 200,000 US dollars can be achieved at this moment, but 10,000 US dollars has been achieved.

Big Money!

Nick's heart was filled with this feeling.
