Chapter 42: The Real Situation
Kudo Yuji's aura is completely different from Kudo's Hiroshi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf Hiroshi Kudo is like the stupid son of a landlord's family, then Yuji Kudo is more like a generation that struggles hard.
Kudo Yuji didn't say anything official, he found a place to sit down, and asked Takahashi directly, "Tell me what you think." ”
"Gold Digger is a good game, and Red & White is a good platform. Takahashi simply elaborated, "If the two excellent coincide, they will become even greater and bring more happiness to everyone." I don't think I can pass up such an opportunity, I think I have to do it right away, that's what I think. ”
Kudo Hiroshi's face changed when he heard Takahashi's words. He saw that Takahashi had prepared so much information, how could he really say such a few words when he said it.
Yuji Kudo looked calm, he stared into Takahashi's eyes, and Takahashi did not shy away from looking at him.
After some mysterious and unpredictable mental activity, Yuji Kudo said, "Not bad young man." I've read your proposal a few times, and it's really feasible. The risk is not particularly great. I see, you are bullying the Americans for not understanding the current situation in Ben. I think let's go to the United States in the next few days, do you have a U.S. passport? If not, let someone do it. ”
Takahashi, who met Yuji Kudo for the first time, didn't expect this brother who scared Hiroshi Kudo when he mentioned it, and he looked very kind.
He wondered if there might be some other factors distracting him, and wondered if Shin'ichi Nakamoto had made any effort these days.
Otherwise, I can't be regarded as persuasive persuasion at all, and I can convince people that there are ghosts.
However, Kudo Yuji's kindness to Takahashi one moment, and the next moment after facing Kudo Hiroshi, immediately became aggressive.
"You sit down!. Yuji Kudo said to Hiroshi Kudo.
Kudo Hiroshi, who was already sitting more neatly than usual, was already sitting straight at the moment.
"Why don't you let me worry about it so much?" said Kudo Yuji with a slap in his face, "What's the use of the propaganda department you set up here, making those people? Each person's salary is 200,000 a month? What do you think? Do you think the company is very rich?"
……
Yuji Kudo said with a slap in the face, and Takahashi, who was sitting on the side, realized that Hudson was far from being as beautiful as he thought.
There's nothing wrong with arcade making money, and there's nothing wrong with making money with Star Force. But the problem is that Star Force is not a Hudson game at all. It is a game of TEHKAN. Compared with this manufacturer name, the name TECMO off @ pants demon may be more widely known.
The company, whose main business is still property management, has started to make arcade games, like many companies in this era.
Lying on the ground and thinking about a group of uncles who watch the door at the entrance of the community, uncles who change light bulbs, and uncles who go to the toilet, they made "Dead or Alive" in one fell swoop, such a beautiful girl breast @ shake fighting theme game, isn't it very exciting.
However, milk @shake is not a day's work, their first work in the video game industry is the game "Interstellar Force".
The reason why Hudson was able to license some of the arcade machines of "Interstellar Force" was simply that TEHKAN was not a third party to the red and white machines.
You know, a lot has happened in the entire video game industry during the year.
The red and white machine was originally just a 15,000 yen children's toy. Compared to the arcade machine, its performance is meagre and there are many shortcomings, and the only thing that can be called an advantage is that it is cheap.
At a time when everyone looks down on and even despises this children's toy. The red and white machine is popular, because it is cheap, because the game is fun. The myth of millions of sales has happened on this platform one after another.
The whole industry was stunned, you know, when the mainstream video game industry was not optimistic about the red and white machine, the red and white machine was popular, and it can be said that it was lifted by the children themselves.
It was not until this time that those manufacturers who once laughed at the red and white machine reacted and thought of grabbing money on the red and white machine platform.
However, at this time, they have no way to enter the red and white machine market to get a piece of the pie.
Because, Nintendo uses a royalty system. Only third parties approved by Nintendo can launch their own games on red and white consoles.
As a result, the first batch of third parties of the red and white machine have become popular.
HUDSON IS ONE OF THEM, AND TEHKAN APPROACHES HUDSON AND ASKS HUDSON TO RELEASE A RED-AND-WHITE VERSION OF INTERSTELLAR POWER, AND HUDSON INEVITABLY ASKS THE LION TO BITE OFF A LARGE PIECE OF FLESH.
Hudson's move, while shameless, also saved the big crisis that could lead to bankruptcy.
You must know that Hudson's Sapporo headquarters, although its main business is radio communication equipment, in fact, the main profit comes from computer games.
At that time, Hudson was very fast in the introduction of computer games, and most of the shelves in the software store in Akihabara were filled with Hudson's games.
At that time, Hudson, with sales of 10,000 or 20,000 per software, although he was not rich, he was still passable.
However, the popularity of the red and white machine has broken all this. Their computer software was completely unsellable, and all of the rest of the game was focused on Gold Digger, except for an inferior version of Interstellar Force.
After all, this game is very good to buy in the United States, and it will definitely not be bad in the book.
The reason why Hudson no longer carried out their previous game sea strategy was that Nintendo had extremely strict requirements for the quality of games, and the cartridge production cost had to be paid in full and could not be defaulted, so it was impossible to release many games in such a situation.
Hudson, who has always made software and has relatively little actual development hardware, even if he wants to make an arcade machine by himself, he needs all the technical backbones to go all out. Shin'ichi Nakamoto went back, also because of this.
PERHAPS THEY REALLY DON'T TAKE TEHKAN SERIOUSLY, AND TEHKAN IS FURIOUS WHEN HE HEARS THAT HUDSON IS GOING TO SKIP THEIR PRODUCTION OF SUPER INTERSTELLAR POWER, THE SEQUEL TO INTERSTELLAR POWER. TEHKAN, WHO IS MORE COMFORTABLE MAKING ARCADE GAMES, HAS LAUNCHED A NEW ARCADE CALLED SUPER INTERSTELLAR FORCE BEFORE HUDSON.
After all, the other side is the main one, and you can't win a lawsuit, although Hudson has already promoted the game in magazines with "Super Interstellar Force" as the name of the game, and now he can only change the name to "Star Marine".
Unlike Hiroshi Kudo, who travels in Tokyo, Yusima Kudo doesn't stop to deal with these things.
If "Gold Digger" can't be launched soon, it will be an absolutely devastating blow for Hudson.
"All those people in the Propaganda Department are dismissed, Takahashi, you hold a player meeting to see how many people will come to see you, and then I will decide your affairs. "After Kudo Yuji completed Fuji Hiroshi's training, he made a final decision.
