Chapter 358: Yamanuchi's Doubts
Chapter 358: The Doubts of the Mountain
Yamauchi was choked by Uda Naka's words and was speechless for a while! Although Nintendo Corporation has always been tightly controlled by the Yamauchi family, it is, after all, a listed company with many shareholders. The Yamauchi family only holds a controlling stake. In order to ensure the status of the Yamauchi family in Nintendo Co., Ltd., he wanted to transfer shares to Fang Mingyuan, which could not be done in a moment. If the transfer of shares can completely pull Fang Mingyuan into his own camp, Yamauchi will definitely not be stingy with those shares, of course, this must be under the premise that the Yamauchi family still holds the controlling stake!
"Uda-kun, how much of Fang Jun's shares can be held on the board of directors of Sega Co., Ltd.?
Uda Zhong smiled and said, "President Yamauchi, you won't bother with this. Fang Jun is a director of our Sega Co., Ltd., and I believe President Yamauchi has known this for a long time!"
Yamauchi Bo gritted his teeth, resisting the urge to spit on Uda Naka's triumphant face. If this had been five years ago, how could a mere Uda Nakaru be placed in the eyes of his Yamanuchi? And Uda Naka, who would never have dared to be so presumptuous in front of his Yamanuchi? The root cause of this lies in the reversal of the status of Sega Corporation and Nintendo in the Japanese game industry.
I don't know what kind of good fortune Sega Co., Ltd. had in the beginning, and actually decided to let a Chinese person become a shareholder, and even entered the board of directors! But Sega Co., Ltd.'s adventure has obviously been richly rewarded now! If time can be turned back, Yamauchi must be ahead of Sega Co., Ltd. and draw Fang Mingyuan into his own camp!
"Ahem!Ahem! President Yamauchi, get down to business!" Fang Mingyuan on the side coughed lightly twice, glanced at Yokoi Junhei, who was sitting next to Yamauchi, and then said, "I believe that Yokoi-kun has already informed President Yamauchi of my conditions, and President Yamauchi will come in person this time, so he will definitely bring me good news?"
As soon as Yamauchi heard this, he didn't say anything about the anger in his heart! In the matter of the release of "Pokemon", Fang Mingyuan's side is a fixed price, and it is not negotiable at all. If you are willing to raise it, that's no problem, but if you want to lower it, even if it's 0.5 percent, it's absolutely non-negotiable! In the past few days, Yokoi Junhei has discussed with Lin Rong many times on the phone and in person, but the result is nothing!
If it weren't for GB's sales this week, which had fallen below 3,000 units, and the sales of "Resident Evil" were so booming, and Yamauchi Bo also knew that Fang Mingyuan would not be able to stay in Japan for long, if he couldn't reach an agreement with him again, I'm afraid that next, he would have to work hard and go to China!
Yamauchi Bo has always been mean-spirited because of his mean exports, and he was ruthlessly compared to a monster by the Japanese business community, and when Sony released PS, he said with extreme disdain, "If the PS console sells 1 million, I will fall head-to-foot!" It's just that when the sales of PS exceeded one million units, he did not fulfill his promise.
From his reluctance to participate in various social activities, he defined himself as "without ambition, everything today is just luck after several failures", which shows his temper. However, Yamauchi is also a person sixty miles away, and even if he has a fiery temper, under the effect of the years, he has become a little more sleek now.
Besides, for Japanese industry insiders like Uda Zhong, Yamauchi can still put on the old man's shelf, but for Fang Mingyuan, Yamauchi can not do this.
"Fang Jun, before that, I want to ask Fang Jun, have you decided to help me?" Yamauchi said solemnly, "Just as Director Fang Cai Uda said, Nintendo Corporation and Sega Corporation have always been competitors in the market! If Fang Jun just wants to make more money, it seems that there is no need to do so!"
As long as Nintendo can be completely defeated, and then step on a stinky foot to make it difficult to turn over, the Sega Society will be happy to pay extremely large rewards for it! Because the fewer competitors, the greater the market share that Sega will have!
Fang Mingyuan smiled and said, "I agree with what President Yamauchi once said. And Nintendo's red and white machine has also brought beautiful memories to many people's childhood. Although Nintendo is an old rival of Sega Corporation, for me, Sega Corporation and Nintendo Corporation are both part of my life experience, except that Nintendo represents memories, while Sega represents the future!"
Fang Mingyuan's words made Uda Zhong's expression fly, while Yamauchibo's expression was a little gloomy.
"I don't know which of my words can get Fang Jun's approval. Yamauchi's smile was a little bitter.
"It's not the hardware that determines the market, it's the software, if you can't make the software that makes people feel fun and want to play, no matter how much you want to open up the market, you can't do it, and everyone will only be happy when they play software games. Fang Mingyuan's voice was not loud, but it was very clear.
This is the most common phrase that Yamauchi Bo says on weekdays, and it is under the guidance of this concept of game production that Nintendo has always aimed to make "light-hearted" games, "Mario" and "Pokemon" have become the most popular game brands for all ages, and with these star-studded game stars, Nintendo has become the most profitable and large-scale game manufacturer in the industry.
Yamauchi raised his eyebrows, his face was a little happy, he didn't expect that Fang Mingyuan actually knew his words! This made him feel a little brighter on his face.
"I'll admit that many of Nintendo's games are suitable for all ages, both adults and children can play, and whether it's Saturn, or PS, it's more suitable for adult players. Even if it's to give my children a childhood worth remembering, I don't want Nintendo to fall like this. In this way, President Yamauchi can understand it, right?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile.
Lin Rong secretly laughed on the side, of course, Fang Mingyuan's words were also a little sincere, but most of the words were still in his mouth. Of course, he didn't have that good intentions, and he had to pull Nintendo just for the sake of childhood memories. His real intention is to stir up the Japanese home game console market even more "chaotic"! In this way, he can "mix" the water and "touch" the fish cheaply, and seek the greatest benefit from it!
