When both sides have a strong intention to cooperate, the negotiation process will also be very fast.

In just three days, Jester and Claudia reached a general intention to cooperate, and the rest of the specific terms were also discussed very smoothly.

The new company, Jester, will have a 70 percent stake, Claudia will have a 30 percent, Jester will have to contribute 60 percent in addition to the game, and Claudia will be responsible for the establishment of the channel and the other 40 percent of the funding.

The initial investment amount of the entire European branch is 15 million US dollars, and Claudia said that she only had 4 million before, but now that she can eat the investment of 6 million US dollars without any pressure, it is obvious that what she said before is not true.

At the end of the negotiations, Adam Edgar's most exciting Queen's concert was about to be held, Adam Edgar originally booked a ticket late, and the position was not good, and Jester also heard Adam Edgar say that Queen had a concert in Wembley recently before coming to London, so Jester did not have a ticket.

But Claudia's energy in the UK really impressed Jester, and after asking how many of Jace's group wanted to see this concert, he got more than 20 tickets for the concert that had been doubled in price that afternoon, and even two tickets to the VIP box.

On the afternoon of the concert, Jester met Claudia dressed in casual clothes, her hair tied in a simple ponytail, a pair of canvas shoes on her feet, a pair of light blue jeans on her slender thighs, a white T-shirt and a light blue jacket.

The front of the coat was not zipped up, and Claudia stood casually with her hands in the pockets of her coat.

This was the first time Jester had seen Claudia without a formal suit, and the first time he saw her, she was wearing a tuxedo-long dress, and she had been wearing a formal professional suit for the past few days.

I didn't expect that now I have changed into such a simple casual dress, and it has a unique flavor.

Claudia smiled a charming smile at Jester, who was a little distracted, and said with a smile: "It's very inappropriate to go to rock and roll and then wear a formal suit." ”

Jester agrees with this.

Wembley Stadium was built in 1923 for the 1924 World Exposition, mainly to show the British Empire's strength of the landmark building, so it was not called Wembley Stadium at first, but called Empire Stadium, but because the stadium is located in the Wembley district of northwest London, over time, there is a Wembley Stadium saying, and it has been used to this day.

The current Wembley Stadium is not the modern super stadium that Jester has seen in football games, because the future stadium was rebuilt after 2,000 years, and the current stadium is still a mecca of British football culture for decades.

In front of Wembley's goal, Jester saw the pair of white towers that were once the symbol of Wembley Stadium, which will be demolished after the redevelopment of the new Wembley Stadium and will forever become history.

Looking down from the highest part of the stadium, there is a feeling that it will be overwhelming, and the mountains are small, after all, this is a huge stadium with more than ten floors high and can accommodate 120,000 spectators, and Jester listened to Claudia before, this time Queen's Wembley concert sold nearly 150,000 tickets.

This amount, even compared to the two most famous matches in Wembley Stadium's history, the White Horse final and the Stanley final are not far behind.

When Jester and Claudia arrived, the audience had already entered one after another, because Claudia was holding a ticket for the VIP box, so Jester and Claudia walked through the special passage, instead of squeezing the ordinary passage that was already overcrowded.

The concert was scheduled for five o'clock in the afternoon, and when he arrived at the box, Jester looked at the time and saw that there was still more than an hour left.

Then Jester looked around, as if trying to find something to do for the boring hour, to make the time less boring.

Claudia seemed to be prepared, though, as she took out two Pokemon animatronic pets from her bag and handed one to Jester.

She then used a communication cable to connect the two electronic pets.

To be honest, this setting connected by a communication cable seems quite stupid to Jester, but it is not the case in the eyes of people today, and the two handhelds that can communicate with each other are very fresh and interesting in the eyes of players in this era, and it is a setting that can be called a breakthrough.

"What are you going to do?" Jester took the little fire dragon's Pokemon pet machine and looked at it, and then asked Claudia with some curiosity.

"Small pets can fight with each other!" Claudia replied excitedly.

Only then did Jester sigh, he remembered.

It seems that he added a setting to the electronic pet inside when he was making this Pokemon version of the electronic pet machine.,In order to echo the Pokemon that will definitely come out in the future.,In addition to borrowing a lot of functions cultivated in the Pokemon Songzi.,It also additionally added the setting of learning skills and pet upgrades through guò battles.。

However, Jester hadn't experienced this feature himself, after all, he was too busy with his work to do everything.

Holding Claudia's electronic pet machine, Jester thought that it would be good to take advantage of this gap to watch Queen's concert and experience it.

Jester pressed the start button, and the black and white LCD screen that was still black lit up, it seems that Claudia has played a lot, the little fire dragon in his hand has evolved into a fire dinosaur, and the skills have also been learned three, but Claudia's Jenny turtle has not evolved yet.

Because the communication line is not very long, Jester and Claudia sit very closely, almost side by side, and Jester can smell Claudia's scent.

Jester felt that something was wrong, so he took the initiative to sit aside a little.

Claudia then sends an invitation to Jester to talk, and Jester agrees.

The final result is undoubted, Jester, who has never played the Pokemon animatronic pet of this world, is completely destroyed by Claudia, who is experienced in combat, and Jenny Turtle also learned a skill after winning the battle, which also makes Claudia happy.

Unconvinced, Jester played a few more rounds, but the final result was the same, until the fire dinosaur in his hand refused to fight because he was hungry.

"Seriously, it's a great idea to have two handhelds connected to each other! How did you come up with the idea? After taking the fire dinosaur's pet machine in Jester's hand, carefully feeding it food, and letting the fire dinosaur go to sleep, Claudia asked Jester with a smile.

"This ......"

Jester wiped his nose and thought for a while, and said: "I wanted to make a development game at the time, because we don't have a home console yet, and such a game is not suitable for arcades, I thought of Nintendo's GW palm game console at that time, so I had the idea of making a palm game as well, and then there was a Pokemon electronic pet, as for the communication line can be interacted with...... Actually, it's very simple, I think two people who keep each other's pets will definitely want to let their respective pets meet and communicate with each other, and I was going to use infrared to interact at first, but then my colleagues in hardware research and development told me that it was unrealistic, so I gave up. ”

"Infrared interaction?" Claudia's eyes lit up when she heard Jester's words, and she also felt that it was much better to interact with infrared than to use two different machines to interact with each other with a communication cable.

As they chatted, Jester and Claudia talked about the newly formed company.

"Your plan is that the new product released by the company is the European version of the card game called "World Storm" and the Pokemon electronic pet machine you brought?" Fiddling with the Pokemon electronic pet machine in her hand, Claudia asked in a whisper.

"Hmm."

Nodding, Jester explained: "I personally think that the card game "World Storm" is very suitable for the first release in Europe, because the consistency in the background is also suitable for enhancing the sense of substitution, and the electronic pet machine I have also read your investigation report, I think what you said is good, and the Pokemon electronic pet machine has been successful in Japan and the United States, in Europe I have let people do market research in the past few days also found a lot of clusters, and in some large shopping malls even found that there are stores pù on sale, The sales are not bad, so it is a good choice to use these two to open up fame. ”

Claudia smiled when she heard this, and corrected Jester: "We are no longer a new company without a good reputation, Sega used your success in the United States to advertise in order to promote your four arcade games, so Mars Entertainment now has a lot of fans in the UK." ”

"Huh." Jester smiled indifferently and smiled, "Then I have to thank Sega." ”

Then, Claudia also withdrew her smile and continued to ask, "And then?" ”

"Actually, my initial plan is not only this, but also the official release of "GAME" in Europe, the initial plan is to release the German version and French version in addition to the English version, and the promotion plan is also the same as when I was in the United States, I plan to use the demo version of "Guild Wars" to open up the sales of "GAEM" magazine in Europe." Jester said simply.

"Actually, we can wait for Sega's promotion plan, and after they help us promote it, we will start the official promotion, after all, Europe is not the United States, you rely on the fame of Mars Entertainment in the UK to promote the magazine, there may be a possibility of operation, but in France and Germany, there is no possibility." Claudia pondered for a moment before she spoke.

"Okay." Jester frowned and thought for a moment, then agreed.

During the conversation, countless spectators poured into the stadium, on the platform set up on the side of the court, the staff had already set up the scene, and all kinds of rock and roll instruments had been moved, and in the center of the stage, there was also a piano.

Although the Queen members did not appear yet, the crowd that had already stuffed the entire stadium into a sea of people was constantly cheering, shouting the names of the Queen members, and each name was pronounced by the live DJ, which would attract a burst of cheers.

Especially when Freddie McRae's name was called, the cheers were the loudest.

Looking at the exciting scene under the box, Jester was also a little nervous, he suddenly found that Adam Edgar's choice was very correct, Claudia also wanted to get him a ticket to the VIP box, but he refused, and replied in a dismissive tone: "You don't understand the rock scene at all, and you can't integrate that passion in the box at all." ”

Jester really feels that way now.

"The next time until the end of the year, maybe I won't make any big moves, all of them are accumulating energy for the CES exhibition at the end of the year, whether it is a few games that are being produced now, or home consoles are for this exhibition at the end of the year, Nintendo has also confirmed that it will attend, and will officially launch the American version of their FC game console NES at the exhibition, but the specific news has not been leaked, but according to Nintendo, NES is not just a pure game console."

Jester spoke to Claudia again.

Claudia also nodded, and she asked thoughtfully: "You mean, our European branch is also slowly preparing for these two months, and then attack again at the end of the year."

"Hmm." Jester nodded, then shook his head again, "It's not that I don't do it at all, like the cards and electronic pet machines of "World Storm" that I just said can be ready for release events immediately, but more games, we will have to wait until the end of the year, and then it will be our first battle with Nintendo." ”

After hearing Jester's words, Claudia was a little puzzled, and seemed to have a strong concern when Jester talked about Nintendo's arrival.

Although Nintendo's FC released in Japan has been incredibly successful, Mars Entertainment is still ahead of Nintendo in terms of the quality of the current game, and this is not to compete with Nintendo in Japan, but in the United States, which already has a large number of fans, she doesn't understand why Jester is afraid of Nintendo.

So, she also voiced her doubts.

Jester just shook his head, and didn't say it in detail, the current Nintendo may just be a successful game company in Japan, and it is not much better than Jester's Mars Entertainment in terms of popularity in the entire world, and even in the United States, or North America, Jester's Mars Entertainment is even more famous than Nintendo.

But Jester may only know in this world, that is, how successful this game company, which is still limited to Japan, will be in North America, in the world, in the history of that world, in the period of '84 to '87, Nintendo has almost become synonymous with video games.

However, these Jester obviously can't be said carefully, he just said perfunctorily: "I just received news from the Japanese branch, Nintendo has recently taken advantage of the success of FC in Japan to force many game manufacturers to sign a plan with them called the royalty system, although many manufacturers do not agree very much, but still have the intention of signing a contract with Nintendo." ”

"Royalty system?" This confused Claudia again, and it was the first time she had heard it.

"Well, the royalty system." Jester nodded and continued, "I don't understand the details for a while, you just need to know that this is a Nintendo game distribution system, the purpose of which is to circle those game dealers who release games on FC. ”

"Is this system difficult to deal with?" Claudia still didn't understand.

Jester was silent for a while before he spoke: "Yes, it's very difficult to deal with, and this royalty system was created by absorbing the collapse of Atari, this system can ensure the quality of the game in the biggest way, and it can also allow Nintendo to avoid almost all the risks, and can also earn the maximum profit from game release, I have to say, Nintendo's Mr. Yamauchi is a genius in terms of games." ”

And Claudia is extremely curious about the royalty system in Jester's mouth, she really can't figure out what kind of system can avoid risks while still making the greatest profits, according to the principle of equivalence, shouldn't you make high profits while also taking high risks?

For example, the simplest,A home console game always needs to burn the cassette for sale,The more you sell,The more cassettes you need to burn,The cost of hundreds of thousands of initial cassettes is millions of dollars,While earning excess profits from large sales,But also before the sale,I don't know if I can sell it when I can prepare a sufficient amount of cassette,This is the risk that needs to be taken。

So, she asked Jester about it.

Jester smiled, just about to answer, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of mountains and tsunamis, he raised his eyes to look at Wembley Stadium, at this time, the members of Queen had already taken the stage, and the soul of Queen, who was also their lead singer, Freddie McRae, who was affectionately called Uncle Beard by later fans, also sat in front of the piano in the middle of the stage.

At this time, the music sounded, and a flowing piano sound came out of the microphones surrounding the audience, and at this moment, there was a moment of silence in the stadium of more than 100,000 people.

Listening to this slightly familiar prelude, Jester knew that the first song Freddie McRae would sing at this concert was "Bohemian Rhapsody", which he had loved so much, a song as gorgeous as a choir song, and one of Queen's masterpieces, although it was not as famous in China as the other two songs that almost became the Empress's symbol.

And the moment this melody sounded, the fans of the more than 100,000 Queen bands in the audience instantly boiled.

Almost everyone was frantically shouting Freddie McRae's name.

"I'll tell you more when the concert is over, so let's listen to the song first." Jester said this to Claudia when he saw that Freddie McRae had already started singing, and he didn't want to miss the highlights of the concert, especially one of his favorite Queen songs.

"Okay."

Claudia just brushed the hair on her forehead indifferently and smiled in agreement.
