Yuko is a very ordinary girl, and even though she is a graduate of Kyoto University, it is difficult to find her ideal job in this man's society. Fortunately, her luck is not bad, only half a year after graduation, she was lucky to find a job at the front desk at Nintendo, although it is completely out of line with her major, but after all, she can still maintain her life in Kyoto, otherwise she may have returned to her hometown to get married and have children now.

As usual, Yuko took out her makeup bag and prepared to touch up her makeup, for her the front desk is a place full of opportunities, and she must always be prepared. As she was pouring powder on her face, Yuko suddenly noticed that a hand reached over and knocked on the countertop, and when she heard the sound, she looked up, and a strong man with a cold expression appeared in front of her.

Yuko instinctively shrank back, and asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Hello, what do you need?"

A sunny and handsome young man stepped forward and said a call, but unfortunately Yuko didn't understand at all, so she could only repeat the question just now in a daze.

Fortunately, the translator came to solve the siege at this time, and he said in Japanese: "We have a problem buying your company's game console, and now we have come to visit President Yamauchi of your company. ”

Yuko understands this time, it is the game console that has malfunctioned, and this time is too common. A few months ago, when the company's products were launched, Yuko was still very happy for a while, although this is not too directly related to the front desk, but if the company makes money, maybe her salary can also rise. But recently, Yuko heard that many people called the company to complain about product failures, and Section Chief Yokoi and Section Chief Uemura were busy every day, and her heart was cold again. For those users who come to the door because of the malfunction of the game console they bought, Yuko can occasionally encounter one or two, but it is the first time that there is such a big battle as today. Yuko didn't dare to slack off, so she picked up the internal phone and informed the president's secretary that it would be better to deal with a hot potato like this from the top.

……

Zhang Lexing originally thought that the front desk of a company like Nintendo could at least say hello in English, but he didn't expect him to say a bunch of words, but the front desk lady was muttering there like an idiot, obviously not understanding a word. Fortunately, I brought a Japanese translator this time, otherwise this ugliness would have been a big one.

After waiting for about ten minutes, someone finally came downstairs to lead Zhang Lexing and his party to the conference room upstairs. Walking into the door of the conference room, Zhang Lexing found that there were already two people waiting in the conference room.

"I'm sorry for the trouble caused by our company's game console!" the gray-haired middle-aged man bowed sincerely, and the slightly younger middle-aged man next to him also bowed deeply.

"My name is Zhang Lexing, we are from the United States, you are President Yamauchi, right?" Zhang Lexing asked the middle-aged man who looked older and had gray hair, of course, the sentence was converted through translation.

"Exactly, Mr. Zhang, we will definitely be responsible for the game console you bought. Yamauchi's expression was very sincere.

"President Yamauchi, to be honest, this FC game console you developed is really ...... It's too bad!" Zhang Lexing shook his head and said contemptuously: "The processor is still 6502, the same as Atari's, but the image processor and sound processor are a little more powerful...... The worst part is that it still freezes while playing the game, which is simply an unforgivable mistake. ”

No matter who it is, when he is criticized in front of him for the proud work in his mind, he is afraid that his mood is not much better, and Yamauchi Pu's face is really getting worse and worse. Zhang Lexing also unexpectedly found that the face of the middle-aged man next to Yamauchi Pu seemed to be worse, maybe the FC game console was more important in that person's heart.

After talking for a while, Zhang Lexing felt that the heat was almost over, and changed the topic, "However, President Yamauchi, although the FC game console designed by your Nintendo is relatively low, according to the analysis of our company's experts, I think your choice can control the cost well, and the console will be very easy to popularize in the future." But now this crash should be solved immediately, otherwise it will ......"

"We estimate that it is a hardware design problem, but due to time constraints, we have not yet found out the specific cause. The middle-aged man next to Yamauchi Pu frowned.

"I haven't asked yet, President Yamauchi, who is this next to you?" Zhang Lexing asked.

"His name is Gunhei Yokoi, and he is the section manager of the first design section of our company, and he participated in the design of the FC game console. Yamauchi introduced.

Zhang Lexing has some impressions of Yokoi Junhei, knowing that he has participated in the design of GameBoy and VR-Boy, and is also known as the father of GameBoy. However, it is a shame to say that Zhang Lexing did not know that there was a person in the world when he was obsessed with Nintendo games, until 2003, when he saw on the Internet that Yokoi Junpei was awarded the Game Industry Special Meritorious Lifetime Award (LifeTime Award) at the annual conference of game developers on the Internet, he knew that the classic cross buttons on the GameBoy and FC game consoles he played were all from this person, and at this time it has been almost six years since Yokoi Junpei died.

Seeing Yokoi Junhei this time, Zhang Lexing's mood was still a little excited, but his face was still well controlled and not revealed, after all, the purpose of his visit this time had not been achieved.

"Our hardware engineers have solved this problem perfectly, President Yamauchi, you can find someone to try it out. Zhang Lexing took out a modified FC game console and put it on the conference table.

Obviously, there is no more suitable candidate than Yokoi Junhei, Yamauchi Pu gestured to Yokoi Junhei, and Yokoi Junhei, who had long been eager to try, immediately walked over, took the modified FC game console and connected it to the TV in the conference room to start testing.

When Yokoi Junhei was busy testing, Zhang Lexing was not idle, chatting with Yamauchi about the development of Nintendo. Listening to Yamauchi's narration, Zhang Lexing knew that Nintendo actually had a long history, and was established as early as 1889, but at that time it was still a company specializing in the production and sale of handmade Japanese flower cards. It wasn't until 1977 that Nintendo began to get involved in the video game industry, and the company began to grow with the popularity of arcade games, and the success of the Atari console inspired Yamauchi to develop a home game console. A few months ago, the FC game console was successfully launched, and the first batch of 470,000 FC units were sold out in only two months, Yamauchi felt that he had seen the dawn of victory, but he didn't expect things to suddenly take a turn for the worse, and a large number of FC game console fault complaints flocked to Nintendo, but the cause of the failure could not be found in a short time, and the prospects of FC game consoles suddenly became precarious. At the end, Yamauchi couldn't help but sigh.

"President, there's no problem!" shouted Yokoi in surprise.

"Great!" said Yamauchi's face with joy.

"President Yamauchi, we have a detailed solution to this problem, I don't know if your company is interested?" Zhang Lexing said in a good time.

Yamauchi Pu quickly calmed down, and said with a hint of majesty: "Say, what do you need in exchange?"

Zhang Lexing didn't plan to go around the bend either: "Since President Yamauchi said it so clearly, let's talk about it, but before that, I hope to find Mr. Shigeru Miyamoto." ”

A hint of surprise flashed on Yamauchi's face, but he quickly calmed down and found someone to call Shigeru Miyamoto.

"Okay, Shigeru Miyamoto is here, you can talk. Yamauchi Pu said calmly.

Zhang Lexing took out a game cartridge from the leather bag of the entourage and pushed it over from the conference table, "President Yamauchi, Mr. Miyamoto, you can take a look at this first." ”

Shigeru Miyamoto glanced at Pu Yamauchi, and after getting a positive look, he immediately picked up the game cartridge and plugged it into the FC game console in front of the TV, then turned on the switch of FC, sat down and started to try the game.

Soon the game selection screen appeared on the TV screen, with the words "SuperPrince" at the top of the screen and the singles and doubles selection below. Shigeru Miyamoto skillfully chooses a single-player game, and soon a cartoon prince appears on the TV screen. Under the operation of Miyamoto Shigeru, he quickly ran to the right, and soon several question mark bricks and ordinary bricks appeared in the picture, and at the same time, a chestnut boy (Goomba) also quietly attacked. As a veteran of the game, Shigeru Miyamoto jumped a few times, stepped on chestnuts, and successfully ate mushrooms, but a new challenge appeared in front again.

During the trial period of Shigeru Miyamoto, Zhang Lexing introduced the background setting, game purpose, process distribution, operability, and hidden elements of this game to Yamauchi Pu, but Yamauchi Pu was itchy to listen to it, and couldn't help but ask for a cassette from Zhang Lexing's hand to try it out in person.

This game is more than two hours, and the time is almost noon, but Yamauchi Pu and Miyamoto Shigeru still can't stop. Yamauchi Pu is better, he thinks more about what are the characteristics of the game in front of him, what are the fun places that can attract players, and how many players can be attracted and how much money can be made. Shigeru Miyamoto was completely immersed in this game, as excited as an ordinary player encountering his favorite game, as if he had experienced his happy childhood from the game.

It was Yamauchi Pu who stopped first and invited Zhang Lexing and others to lunch together. At the dinner table, the guests and hosts talked happily, and Yamauchi Pu talked about this game several times, but Zhang Lexing always smiled and said nothing. After lunch, everyone came to the conference room again.

"Mr. Zhang, you can talk about your conditions. Yamauchi said calmly.

"President Yamauchi, take a look at this game again. Zhang Lexing took out another cassette and pushed it off the table.

Shigeru Miyamoto took the game cartridge and plugged it into the game console in front of the TV, and soon a new game screen appeared on the TV screen. Looking at the same game scene and familiar game characters, Shigeru Miyamoto was stunned, and he didn't even react when the controller in his hand fell to the ground. Even Pu Yamauchi, who had always been calm, had a surprised expression on his face, and his eyes were looking straight at the TV screen, as if he was seeing the most incredible thing in the world.

After a while, Yamauchi Pu, who came back to his senses, asked excitedly, "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by this?"

"Don't you find this game more appealing than the previous one?...... Don't you think it's more beneficial for your company to use Mario as the protagonist of the game?" Zhang Lexing said several reasons in one breath, and Yamauchi Pu also began to fall into deep thought.

The benefits of using Mario as the protagonist of the game are obvious, not only the sales benefits of a game, but more importantly, the expansion of Mario's influence, which is the hole card that Zhang Lexing has the confidence to impress Yamauchi. Yamauchi Pu is worthy of a generation of heroes, and he quickly made a decision. The boss spoke, and the next negotiations were completed by the younger brothers, and after three days of talks, the two sides finally reached an agreement.

The main contents of the agreement finally signed by the two parties are: "Super Mario" and "Gold Digger" brought by Zhang Lexing this time will be sold by Nintendo, and KF-Panda studio will receive a 35% share, plus a down payment of 200 million yen; The copyright belongs to Nintendo, KF-Panda studio has the right to continue to use Mario's name and character image, but all games that use Mario can only be launched on Nintendo's game console; KF-Panda studio has the right to develop games on Nintendo's console, without additional payment, the developed game can be launched by itself, or sold through Nintendo, but the developed game must be reviewed by Nintendo, and the review can be released; if the game cartridge is entrusted to Nintendo to manufacture, you need to pay an additional cassette manufacturing fee, and the price is negotiated separately; there is no limit to the number of games released each year, but the first batch of each game must be released in at least 20,000 copies, and if the retail store has less than 20,000 reservations, the sale will be suspended, and the contract period between KF-Panda Studios and Nintendo will be settled in Japanese yen for a period of six years.

And the "Super Prince" used to throw bricks and attract jade also triumphantly withdrew from the stage of history and became Zhang Lexing's private collection.
