Chapter 340: Helpless Nintendo

If Pokemon can sell more than one million sets in the remaining six months, it will undoubtedly solve a big problem for Nintendo!

Now that GB sales are weak, with weekly sales of only two or three thousand pieces, and Nintendo only has four games to launch in the short term, if this Pokemon can pick up the burden, Nintendo will have very little pressure.

"That's true!" Yokoi Junhei also replied solemnly, "I think that with Fang Jun's current status in xxx, he shouldn't lie to me!"

Yamauchi Bo pondered for a long time, and then said, "What conditions did he propose? Besides, Nintendo and Sega Co., Ltd. are old rivals, and Fang Mingyuan is a shareholder of Sega Co., Ltd., so there is no benefit, how can he pull his own rival.

Yokoi Junhei shook his head and said, "Fang Jun asked us Nintendo Co., Ltd. to promise that we must subsidize thirty percent of the selling price of each set of Pokemon!"

Yamauchi was stunned for a long time, and then he slapped the table and said, "Why didn't he rob the bank!" Thirty percent of the selling price, this is simply blackmail! I'm afraid that the gamefreak game development company itself will not be able to get such a high profit margin! Yokoi Gunhei sat there speechlessly, just silently looking at Yamauchi.

"Yaga, Yaga!" Yamauchi Park walked around the office angrily, all along, it was Nintendo who put forward all kinds of conditions and restrictions to those game production companies, even if Nintendo no longer has the status of the past in the xxx game industry, but no game company dares to put forward such excessive conditions to Nintendo!

Yamauchi walked around the office a few times, then returned to his desk, stood with his hands on his desk and stood up for a long time, and then said, "Yokoi-kun, what do you think about this matter?"

Yokoi Junping had already thought about the matter many times along the way, and immediately said: "President, I think this is an opportunity! Although this Fang Mingyuan's asking price is very excessive, but if he can really do this, then we can only agree to it!"

Yamauchi Bo nodded slightly, what Yokoi Junhei did was exactly what he thought. Although, if Nintendo Co., Ltd. agreed to Fang Mingyuan's request, it would undoubtedly set a very unpleasant precedent, but today's market environment has decided that he has no choice.

If the decline of GB cannot be reversed, Nintendo will not only face financial losses, but also seriously damage the confidence of players and employees in the company! Money can be earned again when it loses, but once employees and customers lose confidence, it is not something that can be recovered for a while. Which of the two is more important, Yamauchi Bo is still clear in his heart.

What's more, now that Nintendo has fallen from the industry hegemon to the point of catching up with Sega and Sony, Yamauchi Park can't tolerate it, and the company that has been passed down by the family for a hundred years is declining in his own hands!

But it's one thing to know, it's another to be able to do it!

Yamauchi took two heavy breaths, forcibly suppressed the unwillingness in his heart, and said to Yokoi Junhei: "Okay, leave this matter to you." You can give him a subsidy of 15 percent at most! No more! It's better to do it quietly and not let the media know!"

"Yes! President!" said Yokoi Gunpei immediately stood up.

"Mingyuan, can Nintendo Co., Ltd. agree to our request?" Lin Rong brought a cold drink to Fang Mingyuan, who was working hard at the table, and said with some worry. Fang Mingyuan's meeting with Yokoi Junhei in the morning, she also participated in the whole process. To be honest, she also felt that Fang Mingyuan's promise was a bit too big! Pokemon has been on sale for quite a long time, and the total sales volume is only more than 100,000 sets, Fang Mingyuan actually dared to make Yokoi Junpei let the Pokemon sales exceed one million sets within the year, if it weren't for the fact that over the years, I saw Fang Mingyuan again and again that he could not do it, I am afraid that he would have shouted that it was impossible at that time.

Fang Mingyuan put down the pen in his hand and moved his somewhat sour neck. Since taking ownership of the Pokemon, he spends most of his day at his desk plotting a recipe for how to bring it back to life.

One million dollars got the copyright of Pokemon from Gamefreak Game Development Club, and everyone in the know thought that Fang Mingyuan was probably carried away by the success of Resident Evil this time, only Fang Mingyuan knew how cheap he was!

Although, in his previous life, Fang Mingyuan didn't have much interest in Pokemon and didn't play it, but this did not prevent him from knowing what kind of praise Pokemon had received among all Shijie players, and how long had Huaxia's TV screen been occupied by Pokemon!

Nintendo relied on Pokemon to reverse the decline of GB in one fell swoop, and also launched a series of Pokemon follow-up games, comics, books, battle cards and peripheral products, and also cooperated with XXX TV Tokyo to launch cartoons, as well as the annual theatrical version of the animated film, and gradually expanded to all parts of Shijie. It became a cartoon character and a national animation of xxx that Shijie is famous for.

Pikachu, the fast-moving, electric rat with a glowing face, folded tail, and wearing a "yellow tiger striped shirt" quickly conquered young players and many women, and quickly entered the field of vision of people in the catering industry, advertising, toys and other industries, and became an emerging animation star in the world, and its popularity is enough to make all the animation stars in Shijie jealous!

Its status in Nintendo Corporation even surpassed that of the veteran Mario. In xxx, just pull a low-age player or a female player on the street, they don't necessarily know Mario, but they must know Pikachu.

And the total value of related products generated because of Pokemon is in the billions of dollars!

A million dollars in exchange for billions of dollars in a few years, this is an absolute deal!

So when Fang Mingyuan noticed the Pokemon's ridiculously low sales volume, he immediately decided to buy its ownership. Gamefreak, which was in dire need of funds, was eager to sell it for money because of its dismal sales, and the result was that the two parties hit it off, and the negotiation process was completed in just two days.

Of course, Fang Mingyuan didn't know that in his previous life, when Pokemon was on sale, it was also a dismal sales. It took quite a long time for Nintendo to reach that height after several promotions, and because of various coincidences. But that doesn't stop him from building momentum for it in his own way.

"Mingyuan, if Nintendo agrees, do you really plan to help Nintendo?" Lin Rong sat opposite Fang Mingyuan and asked curiously. She didn't understand what Fang Mingyuan thought, as a director of Sega Co., Ltd., but he wanted to help Sega Co., Ltd.'s old rival Nintendo Co., Ltd. get out of the predicament, which sounded a bit unbelievable.

"Help, weishenme won't help?" Fang Mingyuan stretched his waist and said, "Don't you think that the confrontation between the two countries is far less fun than the melee between the three countries?"

"The two countries are clashing, the three countries are fighting?" Lin Rong was stunned for a moment, puzzled, "But it is a shareholder of Sega Co., Ltd., the better the performance of Sega Co., Ltd., the higher the profits, isn't it?"

"Hehe, that's fine, but this time Sega couldn't give me so many benefits. Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Then he lowered his head again.

"Hmph, what do you ask, you always have to be covered by clouds and mountains like this, can't you be clearer?" Looking at Fang Mingyuan, who was busy, Lin Rong said with disgust in her heart.

In fact, it wasn't that Fang Mingyuan wanted to hide anything from her, but that Fang Mingyuan didn't have the heart to explain his plans in detail with her now.

Although, today's GameStation company and Fang Mingyuan can be said to be proud, but Fang Mingyuan knows that in any industry, monopoly is terrible!

If Nintendo collapses like this, gamers will have a lot less fun in the future, and it will not be a good thing for the entire industry! Although it has a part of the shares of Sega Co., Ltd. and has become the third largest shareholder, its position is not stable. In the case that everyone else is xxx people, once there is a fundamental conflict between Huaxia and xxx, and they are on the side of the motherland, the board of directors of Sega Co., Ltd. can kick themselves out of the board of directors as long as they make up their minds to break their wrists.

Although, it is theoretically impossible for this situation to happen in the next ten years, but as the old saying goes, the store is a big bully, and the customer is a big bully, if Sega Co., Ltd. succeeds in becoming a well-deserved hegemon in the xxx game console market, and no one can shake it, its own status will naturally be lowered in Sega Co., Ltd. Only in the era of the rise of the heroes, as a foreigner, can you ensure that your interests are not violated in the xenophobic xxx!

Microsoft hasn't entered this market yet, and Nintendo needs to save it even more until then, especially if it can still make a lot of money in the process.

As for Sega Co., Ltd., they don't dare to ask themselves hard at this time! Besides, Sega Co., Ltd. doesn't have a best-selling handheld, and he got a handheld game, so in order to maximize profits, he naturally wants to find Nintendo, the boss of the handheld market, and no one can blame himself anywhere!
