Chapter Forty-Six: No Book Is Written Without Coincidentality
WW: We've been waiting for you a long time. Try it today, the effect of the next big chapter"
"Sell standards? Well said! Suddenly, a crisp voice came from behind the two, startling the two of them and turning their heads in unison. didn't notice that because the two of them were originally quite close to each other for the convenience of talking, even if they weren't grinding their ears and temples, they were all the same, so they turned their heads in unison, Fang Mingyuan's lips just rubbed against Lin Lian's soft cheeks, and immediately a strange feeling spread from his lips to his heart.
Lin Lian was also taken aback, she could feel Fang Mingyuan's lips sliding from the corners of her mouth to the edge of her earlobes, and the warm breath made her feel soft all over. Fortunately, the two of them were just separated by one touch, otherwise Lin Lian might have collapsed directly on the seat. Girls in the post-60s and early 70s in China naturally can't be as clear about things between the sexes as girls in the post-80s and 90s. But in the early 90s, these girls born in the 60s and 70s were holding hands in public occasions, and they didn't know how many pairs of white eyes were watching them, and they didn't know how many mouths were gossiping.
Don't look at Lin Liandu, she has been working for a year or two. For the little thing between men and women, it is still hazy and not much is known. Except for his parents and relatives at home, he has never had such close contact with any young man. Although I knew that it was just an accident, this heart was beating rapidly, and my hands and feet were sore. There were immediately two more clusters of redness on the powder, which was as white as jade, but he didn't dare to look at Fang Mingyuan again.
Seeing her appearance, Fang Mingyuan, who was also a little surprised, felt a little more strange in his heart. In his previous life, although he said that he was not satisfied, and Zuihou was not married, his girlfriend had three "I am not the first brother who knows nothing about women, so when I look at Lin Lian's appearance, I already understand seven or eight points in my heart." He couldn't help but feel a little excited, one is not the age of his previous life, and now he is already a mature young man, and the desire for women is the nature of men, which cannot be erased by anything. Especially when he faced a beautiful woman like Lin Lian, who was like a lotus out of the water.
But at this moment, it is obviously not a time to fall in love, Fang Mingyuan forced himself to continue to admire Lin Lian's shy and pretty face, and looked at the seat behind him.
"How are you?" Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but shout. Sitting behind him were a man and a woman. The man was in his forties, with a square face, sitting there with his eyes closed, quite dignified. The woman is around twenty, and her blonde hair is shining under the reflection of Yang Ke outside the window, and the pretty face is beautiful and moving, it is Aso Kazuki's friend Uda Mitsuri!
Uda Mitsuri was also annoyed at this time, she had nothing to do on the plane, and occasionally heard the conversation between the two people in the front seat, and she listened to it a few times when she was bored, but the more she listened, the more concerned she became, Zuihou couldn't help but shout "good" and alarmed the other party. Such eavesdropping is obviously extremely impolite. But unexpectedly, a familiar face leaned out from the front seat. She couldn't help but cry out, "Why are you!" ”
Since Uda Mitsuri took over the persimmon business in Pingchuan County, he has been stationed in Japan to manage the sales of decorative cakes, and the acquisition has been handed over to the people in the company, plus Fang Mingyuan later came to the capital, and Fang Mingyuan has not met for a long time, and this suddenly met on the plane. It was a great surprise to both of them.
"You know?" Lin Lian and the middle-aged man said in unison. It's just that one speaks Japanese and the other speaks Chinese.
"Second uncle, it's him, he's Fang Mingyuan!" Uda Mitsuri grabbed the hand of the middle-aged man next to him, and said excitedly.
The middle-aged man's originally puzzled gaze. Immediately became hot, Teng stood up all of a sudden. Both hands immediately held Fang Mingyuan's hand, and said extremely enthusiastically: "Contemptible Utian Zhong, he is the second uncle of Utian Guangli, please give Fang Jun more advice!" "Huh?" Yi Mingyuan looked at him in surprise, this one is still the elder of Uda Guangli, but when he sees himself, he doesn't need to be so polite. He noticed that Chen Zhong, who was sitting in the back, stood up. Hurriedly shook his head at him, signaling that it was okay.
"Fang Jun, my second uncle made a special trip to Hong Kong to meet with Fang Jun this time, but as soon as he got out of the airport, he learned from Aso. Fang Jun was going to Tokyo today, and we hurried back again. I didn't expect to see you on the plane. Uda Mitsuri's words explain that they will appear here. But Fang Mingyuan was even more confused, what did Uda Mitsuri's second uncle do with him? The cake business is now unrelated to himself. Or is there something wrong in Pingchuan County that I don't know?
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will soon arrive at Tokyo's Haneda Airport, so please sit back in your seats, fasten your seatbelts, and the plane will land shortly." At this time, the sweet voice of the flight attendant came from the announcer of the plane, and Fang Mingyuan also saw two flight attendants walking towards them in a hurry.
"Fang Jun, after getting off the plane, can you take some time to talk to us, there is something important!" Mitsuri Uda said urgently. Fang Mingyuan was still at a loss, but it was not easy to refuse Uda Guangli's proposal, so he could only nod.
Half an hour later, in a corner of the café at Haneda Airport, Fang Mingyuan and Aso Kazuki, who came to pick up the plane, sat opposite each other with Uda Mitsuri and Uda Zhong.
"Fang Jun, probably you don't know, my second uncle Uda Zhong is the second largest shareholder of Sega Co., Ltd. and the vice president of the company. I accompanied him to Hong Kong this time, just to discuss with Fang Jun face-to-face about "Bubble Dragon" and "Zuma".
Prison Tian Mi Li said that the sky was broken, which made Si Jingbao puzzled, and "Mingyuan understood their intentions.
Born Sega Corporation or Sega Corporation. Huaxia is generally referred to as Sega or Sheng, a long-established Japanese video game company that used to produce arcade hardware and arcade games, home game consoles and corresponding games, and computer games, and can be said to be the most comprehensive video game company. In his previous life, Fang Mingyuan was no stranger to it at all. Masterpieces such as the "Cherry Blossom Wars" series, the "Sonic Adventure" series, the "Return to the Warriors", "Shenmue", "Light and Darkness", and the "Phantasy Star" series are all his works. It is even one of the four major home console manufacturers that once tied Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft. The Saturn it produces, Fang Mingyuan also owned one in his previous life, which was praised by gamers in his previous life as a game console with the pinnacle of concave game graphics, and his expectations for it were even higher than Sony's Wang. And this time, it was Sega who competed with Nintendo for "Bubble Ball" and "Zuma"!
"Fang Jun, it's really my luck to be able to meet you on the set! Please advise me in the future! Uda Zhong stood up again and bowed deeply. Although he knew that the Japanese had taken bowing as a daily routine, and at the end of the day, if he didn't bow thirty or fifty times, it would not be fragrant to eat, but his appearance still made Fang Mingyuan a little uncomfortable Hey, the more respectful he is, the bigger the plan is. It's just that he didn't think of anything at all, and Mitsuri Uda, who was interested in the persimmon business. There will be a second uncle who is the vice president of Sega Corporation.
"Guangli, I said, why did you suddenly remember to inquire about Fang Jun's whereabouts?" Aso Kazuki was also surprised.
Mitsuri Uda clasped his hands together. said pleadingly: "Xiangyue, I can't help it." The second uncle accidentally learned that Fang Jun's family was in Ping" County, and when he asked me, could I still hide it from him? ”
Fang Mingyuan looked at Yutian Guangli with a headache, this time Yutian Guangli really gave him a problem.
"Mr. Uda, you are the second uncle of Mitsuri Uda, so I don't want to hide it from you, to be honest, between you and Nintendo, for now, I am more inclined to Nintendo! As I said on the plane, Nintendo is not only selling products, but also standards. Do you understand that? Fang Mingyuan said bluntly.
Yu Tian Zhong nodded, as an industry insider, how could he not understand what Fang Mingyuan was referring to. Over the past decade, the rapid growth of Japan's video game console industry has attracted a large number of manufacturers who want to join this new industry. And due to Nintendo's "great success on the plane. Every manufacturer trying to get a piece of the home game industry has to cooperate with Nintendo. Develop game software that can only be played on "airframes." Nintendo quickly made its own standards the industry standard, and it reaped a lot of benefits. "Fang Jun, I don't deny that Nintendo, by virtue of its status as a pioneer, has become the industry standard setter in the Japanese home game industry. But I think Fang Jun must also know that every time a software company that has signed a contract with Nintendo develops a game software, it must entrust Nintendo to evaluate it to determine whether it meets the standards, and it must be processed into game cards by all Nintendo-owned factories before it can be released. After deducting costs, Nintendo receives at least 10 percent of the gross profit from the total selling price of each box of game cards, and it does not assume the risk of inventory, development, or whether the games sell well or not. In addition, the agreement stipulates that each manufacturer contracted with it cannot develop more than one game for Nintendo in a year, and it must not be applied to other manufacturers' models. Don't you think such an agreement is a bit too harsh? Uda Zhong said in a deep voice. Although there was only a teenager sitting in front of him, Uda Zhong didn't dare to have the slightest contempt in his heart. This teenager, in these two years. The results achieved in Japan are a bit too impressive. And whether Sega can win the battle with Nintendo this time can be said to be completely in the hands of this teenager.
Sega's new home game console will be launched this year, but whether a new home game console can be recognized by the market depends on the hardware performance of the game, and on the other hand, whether it can support enough game masterpieces cannot be ignored. Although it is said that Sega itself also produces games. But it alone can't hold up this piece of sky for its own game console. In Japan, most of the established software production companies have signed exclusive agreements with Nintendo. There is really not much left for Sega, and in the past two years, the most dazzling new game company, I am afraid that it is not owned by the female North Touch company, and several of its games have achieved applauding and popular results in the game market, for such a company with great potential, how can Sega not
Look?
However, although Sega's offer is high, the news from within the Burning Wood Kita Division seems that this teenager attaches more importance to Nintendo. So when Uda Zhong learned that his niece Uda Guangli knew Fang Mingyuan, he immediately took her to Hong Kong to visit Fang Mingyuan, but he didn't expect to learn that Fang Mingyuan was going to Tokyo today at the Hong Kong airport, and immediately rushed back by plane, hoping that it would be best to block him at the airport, no one thought that it would happen that he would be in the front and back seats of the plane with Fang Mingyuan.
Fang Mingyuan nodded, but smiled silently. Uda Zhong is right, using its position in the industry, Nintendo's signing conditions are quite harsh, which has caused many companies that cooperate with it to be quite dissatisfied, but Fang Mingyuan, who has experienced his previous life, knows that this move was the right choice at the time. This condition has enabled Japan's game software industry to avoid the chaos that has erupted, ensured the healthy development of this new industry, and enabled the real leader to find a huge success, which is only five times a year. In addition, the contractor is a fierce competitor in the country, so these software manufacturers are trying their best to increase the interest of their products and improve the quality of their products, and go all out to develop best-selling products. In this way, Nintendo was prevented from following the old path of the leading manufacturer of home game consoles in the United States, because the games of the machine were mixed, and a large number of shoddy games made Americans completely lose interest in its game consoles.
There are several software companies in the information that Fang Mingyuan just read, since signing a contract with Nintendo. In just three or four years, the turnover has increased tenfold or even dozens of times, and it has become a large enterprise with an annual turnover of more than 100 million US dollars, and its profits are naturally considerable. Today, Nintendo has become a strategic partner with its partners.
Nintendo has even aggressively expanded the scope of this strategic alliance to other areas.
Movies featuring "Super Mario" took the United States by storm and generated a lot of profits for film companies. In the United States, a large number of magazines, books, audio-visual products, and even notebooks and many daily necessities are branded as the protagonists of Nintendo games. There are also many TV shows and video tapes that use Nintendo games as content or backgrounds. In the United States, there are far more cartoons according to Nintendo's game rules or set in the background of any other children's television show in the United States. It can be said that in these years, countless companies have bathed in the sunshine of Nintendo, made a fortune, and thrived.
Confrontation with Nintendo, so to speak. It's to fight against the many allies behind it! The difficulty is as you can imagine.
In the future, the reason why Sony and Microsoft were able to step into this field and get a piece of the pie was because of the huge investment in the early stage. And Sega. However, it did not have such financial resources, which caused it to lose continuously in the game console market in the future, and finally had to withdraw from the market.
"I'm afraid you don't know, Sega and Nintendo also had a holiday, we once launched a small game console, and developed a rechargeable battery for it, but we later found out that the chemicals in this rechargeable battery produce carcinogens during charging. As a result, the world's first rechargeable battery was banned by the U.S. Department of Health shortly after its launch. This is a mistake that we did not find before production, and it is only natural that it should be banned. But after the news came out. Nintendo, however, fell into the trap by publishing an advertisement in the newspaper. Say something "better than bringing you cancer.!" Uda Mitsuri gritted her teeth and said, but even if this beauty gritted her teeth again. The lethality is also very small, but it made Fang Mingyuan see the other side of Uda Guangli.
Fang Mingyuan just smiled faintly, this shopping mall is like a battlefield, the industry is an enemy, although Nintendo's hand is ruthless, but the relevant government departments in Japan don't care, what is he, weishenme wants to seek justice for Sega?
Uda Naka and Uda Mitsuri glanced at each other. They can all see that at least for now, Fang Mingyuan is still good Nintendo.
Uda Zhong clenched his fists, then slowly let go, and after doing this a few times, he said solemnly: "Fang Jun, I heard that you are interested in obtaining the Huaxia production authorization from Nintendo, the kind of model that has gradually declined. There is no investment value at all. I have a Tibi..."
At this time, on the Nintendo office building, two people known as Nintendo's soul characters, Shigeru Miyamoto and Junhei Yokoi, were also discussing Fang Mingyuan.
"That, the magical Huaxia kid heard that he is already on his way to Tokyo." Shigeru Miyamoto withdrew his gaze from the street outside the window and said softly.
Yokoi nodded speechlessly. Nintendo's negotiations with Henbibi have been going on for some time, but the management of the subsidiary, which is controlled by Enix Corporation, is in the hands of a Chinese teenager. And the game copyrights of "Bubble Dragon" and "Zuma" that they want to get are completely in his hands. Speaking of this teenager, even the two of them are "the soul of Nintendo." I have to admit that it was a magical genius. At least when they were his age. Or two obscure Japanese.
And he not only owns the copyright of the two best-selling comics "Yu Yu Hakusho" and "Hunter". He has become a well-deserved leader among Japan's rookie cartoonists in the past two years, and has also established a joint venture game production company with Enix Co., Ltd., and his first work "Age of Discovery" has set off a sales storm in the game market in Japan and even in the whole Shijie, although they have no way of knowing the specific financial situation of Hatji, but one thing is certain, that is, Enix Co., Ltd.'s investment is undoubtedly the most successful example of the game industry in recent years. In just over a year, we have earned a return of several times or even more than ten times the amount of investment. This is also weishenme, although Fang Mingyuan is far away in Huaxia now, his position in the company is unshakable. Even his agent in Japan. That Kazuki Aso has become a well-known figure in the Japanese game industry, and no one dares to despise her in any way because she is a woman.
And its second game "Age of Discovery" phenol has also received great praise and rich income in the industry, and the "Age of Discovery" series of products has now become a cash cow for the female company, cultivating countless "Age of Discovery" loyalty in the whole Shijie This huge intangible wealth. Even Nintendo, from the point of view, is also salivating. "Yokoi senior, said that the "Resident Evil" game recently published by the North Leakage Company, have you read it?" Shigeru Miyamoto walked back from the window to Gunpei Yokoi's desk and propped himself up. Looking directly into his eyes, Xi said, "Few...
Yokoi nodded again. It's been some time since Resident Evil was published, and it's caused a wave of zombie horror in the Japanese publishing world. The Japanese say about terror. Originally had the largest readership in East Asia, "Resident Evil" can be said to be another category in the Japanese horror genre. Compared with those who only involve a small number of people, or a small range of affected people, "Resident Evil" greatly expands the victimization area, and it also makes it easy for readers to have a sense of substitution. And compared to the ethereal thing like ghosts, the virus causes the dead to still have the ability to eat. It's more in line with human logic, and it's easier to believe that this is something that could happen in the future. So as soon as it was announced, it was a great success in Japan.
"I heard that although "Resident Evil" was not written by the Chinese teenager himself, the entire background, setting and basic outline of the whole book were created by him, and others just fleshed out the whole story according to his setting and story outline. I think. I'm afraid this "Resident Evil" was not originally intended to be written, but a game script! Shigeru Miyamoto said in a deep voice. It's just that for various reasons, this game can't be pushed out for a while, so they use this way. Build momentum for the game first.
If Fang Mingyuan was sitting here at this time, I am afraid that he would have to applaud his words. In the previous life, it was indeed the "Resident Evil" game that appeared first, and then gradually launched the game of the same name. And because Fang Mingyuan couldn't remember clearly what year "Resident Evil" came out in the previous life, he wrote the script and outline in advance and handed it over to the company's game production staff. After a period of preparation, it was found that at the current level of computer hardware. It is difficult to meet the standards set by Fang Mingyuan. That's why I turned to the next best thing and launched "Resident Evil". One is to build momentum for the game, as Shigeru Miyamoto said; Second, it is also to hold the copyright in your own hands first. In this way, even if the Japanese company in the previous life preemptively produced it, it will not prevent the company from publishing this series of games.
"Miyamoto-kun, I understand what you mean, but if you want to perfectly adapt this into a game and express it on the screen, the hardware requirements for computers and game consoles are too high. Don't say it's comparable. Even the defense that we plan to go public at the end of this year is probably quite difficult. Yokoi said calmly. And the copyright of this is in the hands of the female north company. As a game software company, how could it be possible to transfer it to Nintendo? In terms of the level of game production of the company. The prospects of this game are completely predictable, and no one will give up such a future cash cow.
"That, didn't the teenager want to be more authorized than to produce in Huaxia? I don't believe that with this, can he still refuse? Shigeru Miyamoto insisted. Yokoi-senpai, I think this can be resolved entirely through negotiations. And the current game software of the female North Division is built for the performance of the computer, but I think they will not see that the future prospects of home game consoles, there can be such an opportunity, to step into the field of home game consoles, and make their games a cross-platform product, which will undoubtedly greatly expand their profit range, and they will not be tempted. ”
Yokoi Junhei looked him straight in the eye and said in a deep voice: "Miyamoto-kun, to be honest, I don't think the theme of "Resident Evil" is not in line with the style of our Nintendo-produced games, most of our games can be said to be for people of all ages, but "Resident Evil" is obviously only for adults to play
"Yokoi-senpai, I admit that what you said is good, but I think that our games in recent years have paid too much attention to all-age suitability, although such games give players a sense of warmth, a kind of pleasure that can sit and have fun with the whole family, although I think that for a long time, the main customers of home game consoles are still those teenagers under the age of thirty, but one day, now these home game console customers will become middle-aged, and when it comes, It's not enough to just be able to give them that thrill. People's tastes are very tricky, even if they are delicacies from the mountains and seas, they will eventually get tired of eating crookedly one day, and at that time, it will be too late for us to change! Shigeru Miyamoto said.
Yokoi Junhei lowered his gaze in silence, and he also understood that what Miyamoto Shigeru said was not unreasonable. It's been more than six years since its birth. In the past six years or so, Nintendo, which has been a leader in the field of home consoles in Japan, has made huge profits, and such a considerable profit will naturally attract other companies in Japan to set foot in the field of home consoles. At least he knew. Sega, the long-established arcade game maker, is working on its own home console, which is likely to hit the market this year. And it is said. Sony's R&D department is also working on a new type of home game console. But! How easy is it to change the style of Nintendo's products for more than ten years? Just like in previous years, the Coca-Cola Company abolished the old formula and launched a new one with a lot of hype. But Coca-Cola's most loyal customers around the world disagree. It's only been three months. Coca-Cola had to succumb to the angry reaction of consumers. The old recipe is reused, and the new recipe is abandoned. Afterwards, the New York Times called Coca-Cola's modification of the formula one of the biggest mistakes in the American business community in the past 100 years.
He doesn't want Nintendo to have that day in the future!
