On the phone, Jester could hear the tiredness in Claudia's tone.

During this time, this young woman did her best for the business of the European branch, and looking at the sales number in front of her, Jester naturally wanted to know how much the other party had paid for it.

However, Jester was not a good talker, so he could only use the phone to encourage Claudia.

Hearing his words of encouragement, Jester could clearly feel Claudia's happiness on the phone, but the two of them were too busy, and after chatting about work, they hung up after a few words of friends.

The confrontation with Nintendo in North America, Jester is the first to win, but the subsequent confrontation will definitely be more intense, according to Yamauchi Pu's temper, Jester knows that he will definitely not give up, and when Nintendo is ready for a qiē, it will inevitably be a fierce counterattack like a tsunami.

The other Jester is not afraid, what he is most worried about is that Nintendo will directly fight a price war with him.

This kind of market throat cutting war is actually better than bloodletting, after cutting the throat to see whose blood drains first, the problem is, whether FC or NES is far stronger than its own Dreambox in terms of cost and profitability or production capacity, compared to the distribution volume, compared to the selling price, than the production capacity, it is impossible to fight with Nintendo in this area before the production capacity of its own production base in the mainland is perfect.

Fortunately, Nintendo has suffered a loss in selling the console, according to Yamauchi's stubborn nature, they have no plans to play a throat war with themselves for the time being, but businessmen seek profits, if Nintendo can't gain a foothold in North America this year, then Jester doesn't dare to guarantee that they won't play this hand, in Jester's memory, in N64 came out, but the market has basically been Sony and Sega's world, in order to regain the market, Minoru Arakawa has done something that lowers the price to the point where Nintendo barely makes money to sell it.

At that time, relying on the price reduction of N64 and the wave of timing of "Ocarina of Time" was extremely beautiful, and it almost turned the scene at that time completely over, if Nintendo did not continue to die on NGC, then maybe the entire history of video game consoles would have to be rewritten.

Of course, the price reduction of the N64 was made by Arakawa several times to Yamauchi Pu Tiyì, and on the premise that if you don't do this, I will resign, so the old man Yamauchi had to agree.

Because at that time, Nintendo had reached the point where it had to make sacrifices.

However, this approach is obviously a positive disobedience to Nintendo's unassuming tyrant, coupled with Microsoft's entry into the video game industry, Minoru Arakawa's kind of brain-wrenching Nintendo's game department without going through the brain, finally made the successor of Pu Yamauchi, who has been favored by the industry for 20 years, be swept out of the house by Pu Yamauchi himself, without giving face to his son-in-law at all.

As long as Nintendo does not significantly reduce the price within a year, then a year later, when the production capacity of its manufacturing center in the mainland reaches the standard, then it will be completely unafraid of the production cost.

Isn't it just a throat cut, who is afraid of whom, my labor cost only needs a few people from you in a workshop, and you dare to compare with me to cut your throat?

But if it were Sega, Jester might not think so.

After all, in the history he is familiar with, Hayakuo Nakayama's old stubbornness can do any incredible thing, he was able to stalk Nintendo back then, and now he is about to replace Nintendo's way, and he has also become Sega's roadblock, and he can't guarantee that he will also come to himself for such a realistic version of Contra for more than ten years.

When I think of Sega, Jester has a bit of a headache, recently Sega's new console MS is also officially on sale, and the million-selling masterpiece that he promised to make zuò for them has not even started, Hayabusa Nakayama has called several times, and his tone and attitude are becoming more and more unpolite, and "HANGON" has reached the most important stage of research and development, so he had to perfunctory agree before.

When I went to Japan this time, I must have hidden the UFA from Sega, and I don't know how Hayao Nakayama will embarrass himself.

While thinking, Jester sighed, after the production of "Fire Emblem" was completed, he started to make it for them, maybe it could be just in time for the Christmas sale, just in time to help them expand the sales of MS.

In fact, Jester still wants to make a million-level game for Nintendo, because he doesn't want Sega to immediately enter the research and development of a sixteen-bit machine when he sees that the eight-bit machine is hopeless, in Jester's eyes, the short-term upgrading of this function is completely unnecessary, and it is too wasteful of R&D costs, so he plans to make such a million-level game for Sega, and leave a little thought for those people in Sega about MS, so that they will not go all out to develop Sega MD after seeing that MS is hopeless to compete.

Jester has already explained to Tamakiyoshiro that he is going to Japan, so this time the Japanese side is also more prepared, after all, it is the first time that the company's No. 1 person has visited the branch, although this branch does not have a formal game development team, and it is basically a game publishing employee.

Originally, the distribution was supposed to be the work of the popular release, but like the European branch, the popular distribution did not have time to operate outside of North America for the time being, and in order to be able to distribute goods around the world and compete with Nintendo all over the world, Jester handled it for the time being.

However, he has already thought that within the year, he will transfer the distribution rights of the Japanese branch back to Fengxing Publishing, and the Japanese branch of Mars Entertainment will officially set up two or three game design teams to officially become a game development company.

And Europe ......

Jester thought of the tired voice of Claudia on the phone just now in order to open the European market, and then he sighed, Europe will let it go first, Japan is better to say that it is a wholly-owned holding, Europe, after all, it is not his own company...... Jester could only comfort himself with this.

After Hironobu Sakaguchi knew that Jester wanted to go back to Japan, he immediately said that he wanted to go with him, and after he learned that the main soundtrack of the game "Fire Emblem" had not yet been determined, he immediately said with some excitement that he knew a very good musician in Japan, and like him, he was also a fan of DND games, and he had also found each other to score several of his works before, and the level was very good.

When Jester heard Hironobu Sakaguchi's statement, he immediately thought that the person he was talking about was not Nobuo Uematsu, right?

The specific impression Jester can't remember clearly, there are not many famous soundtrack poems he knows, and the ones that can be called are those few palace-level gods such as Yoshiro Mori, Hisaishi Jean, and Oda Tetsuro, but when he looked at Square Enix's information, he did have an impression that Nobuo Uematsu had a very good relationship with Hironobu Sakaguchi, and Nobuo Uematsu was such an excellent soundtrack artist who could finally come to work at Square Enix, all for the sake of Hironobu Sakaguchi's face.

Of course, Jester must not be able to say this, because how could he know who Nobuo Uematsu was now? So Jester just pretended to hesitate, but reluctantly agreed under Hironobu Sakaguchi's repeated requests.

"Okay!"

After receiving Jester's accurate reply, Hironobu Sakaguchi was also very excited, and bowed to Jester again and again to thank him.

But since he let Sakaguchi Hironobu follow him back to Japan, he naturally won't lose sight of Yuji Naka, and he had heard Yuji often sing songs of his hometown in the apartment assigned by the company, and he would always take out his sister's photo to look at it for a long time, Jester also learned that this was the first time that Yuji Nakatsu left home to such a far place, and he also carried out the research and development of the simulator for half a year with high intensity, so Jester immediately gave him half a month of leave and asked him to go back to Japan with him.

It's not about work, it's just for him to go to Japan to take a break.

This time Jester went to Japan mainly for a simple recruitment, unlike before going to Europe, directly brought a team of dozens of people, so he didn't bring too many personnel, except for Hironobu Sakaguchi and Yuji Naka, there were only two accompanying assistants, just two ordinary administrative staff in the company, helping them to bring a little necessary information.

However, after hearing the news that Jester was going to Japan, Carly came to Jester again, and she said to Jester succinctly and clearly: "If you want Fengxing Publishing to officially take over the distribution work in Japan next year, it is best to send someone to familiarize yourself with the work now, otherwise it is very irresponsible for a distribution company to directly take over an unfamiliar huge market in a year, and sending someone over now will not be too passive when taking over in the future." ”

After thinking about it for a moment, Jester thought that Carly's opinion was good, but he immediately thought about it, who would be the best to send?

To be honest, his recent time, his energy is mainly focused on Mars Entertainment, and he really has a relationship with his own publishing company, but at most, he asks how the logistics center is built, where the flagship experience store is built, how many franchise stores are there, and what is the number of sales last month, as for personnel rights, Jester because he doesn't know much about distribution and marketing, so he has also delegated power to his trusted CEO Carly, but he also needs his own signature when he is appointed at the top level, and the general appointment, All you need is Carly's signature.

Of course, it is only the personnel right, and for the most important financial power of a company, Jester must be firmly grasped in his hands.

"Meg is good......"

Jester came up with a suitable character, which was with Carly. Terry recruited at the same time, is currently the third person in the popular release, responsible for the construction of the flagship store, Jester also knows that this woman's ability is very strong, she can bring EBAY to the top back then, and she can also take charge of HP, a technology group with deep heritage, in terms of her ability, there is no problem in serving as the general person in charge of a region, but before he finished his sentence, he was interrupted by Carly mercilessly.

Carly looked at her boss, she didn't understand how the other party didn't care much about the publishing company that created the biggest profit for him, but instead attached so much importance to this company that only developed games, in her eyes, Jester's most permanent place should be the publishing company, not the research and development company, because the distribution right is the biggest right of a game company.

And, how could he know so little about the top people in his own company?

Is there such a boss?

Carly couldn't get angry, though, because Jester had given her a trust that she didn't have in any other company of her kind, and she was very grateful for allowing her to show what she had learned.

She heard Jester talk about her best lieutenant, Margaret. Whitman immediately frowned, and said with some unhappiness: "I said my boss, you don't even know that Meg can't leave her husband, right?" She came to California because her husband was interning at a California hospital, otherwise how could she quit her job as a sales executive at Procter & Gamble to work as an assistant at a consulting firm? Do you think she would have been able to poach her if she was still at Procter & Gamble, the shell company you started with? ”

Seeing the embarrassed look on Jester's face, Carly wanted to continue to say a few words, but immediately, Jester's face suddenly became a little reluctant.

He muttered quietly: "You're still from ATT, I'm not going to dig it up, what's wrong with Procter & Gamble?" Can Procter & Gamble be more famous than ATT? ”

Hearing Jester's words with such a wry smile, Carly was a little speechless. R1152
