Chapter 438: Overture to the End (1)
"Your Excellency Suzuki." A very well-mastered volume came from Yuzu Suzuki's ears, and he closed his eyes and twitched for a few seconds before he slowly opened them, looking at the silhouette of the city looming below. I have mixed feelings in my heart.
"Arrived in Shanghai?" He asked lightly.
"Here we are." The assistant replied respectfully and flipped through his record book: "Qin Dong has promised to meet with us, and the time is set for tonight." It's nine o'clock in the morning China time. Are we going to book a hotel right away? ”
Yu Suzuki nodded casually.
A week ago, he received a request from several directors asking him to contact the Qin Dynasty company in Hong Kong to reach an agreement on mutual cooperation. He was going to say no. But a fatal piece of news from Hayakuo Nakayama made him make an appointment with Qin Yuanfeng immediately the next day.
"Make an appointment......" He looked at the rapidly receding white clouds outside the window, and smiled silently: "Two years ago...... Qin Jun also wants to make an appointment with me......"
He closed his eyes with a helpless smile and continued to lean back on the sofa: "Now...... I still need to make an appointment to see him......"
"Let me rest a little longer, call me when it's time."
At the same time that the plane was steadily parked at Shanghai Airport, the Qin Dynasty also started a new day of work.
Pixel, set of code, are typed out on the computer at a rapid pace, and then carefully combined into a huge library of numbers. With each additional line, Qin Yuanfeng's heartbeat became more eager.
Pokemon, as these codes increase, are slowly constituting its unique world. Now everyone in the group has no distractions, especially Ken Sugimori and Tomoshi Tajiri, who put in 200% of their energy, and now the meals are delivered directly to the office, except for Yokoi Junpei, who is responsible for the final debugging of compatibility, no one usually raises his head at work.
A cigarette was handed over, and Yokoi Junhei took it directly without looking at it, lit it and took a deep puff, exhaling the clouds of smoke. Qin Yuanfeng also ordered one himself, sat in the smoking room, took a puff and smiled: "Very idle? ”
"Sort of." Yokoi Junping waved his hand: "I'm old, I can't be idle anywhere." I think Qin Jun should immediately get a handheld for the next generation, or a big project like a host for me to do. ”
Qin Yuanfeng smiled: "Don't worry, as long as the Qin Dynasty and China have finished contacting, the next ...... I'm afraid I'm going to start the development of the TV console. ”
"So fast?" This time, on the contrary, Yokoi Junhei was taken aback, and quickly shook his head: "Qin Dong, I just said that." Listen to it. The Qin Dynasty did not want to stabilize the market in two years, and the most important thing was ...... Money. Sony lost 700 million yuan in a plan, but it encountered an economic crisis, with a loss of more than 7 billion yuan on the books, and the actual loss may be close to one billion dollars. The current funds of the Qin Dynasty, I am afraid that it will be a little difficult to play the host......"
"Not this year, it's next year." Qin Yuanfeng smiled and cocked Erlang's legs, and took a sip comfortably, others didn't know, but he knew very well that Jack was now like a pangolin in the United States, desperately digging all the crude oil collected in the oil market. Just wait for the earth-shattering war in the bay to begin!
"During this time, the Ministry of Finance was liquidating the profits of the Qin Dynasty. Strive to report to the Shanghai Taxation Bureau as soon as possible. He continued: "The handheld is probably the only model that can be profitable. All other models, regardless of the model, are hardware loss-making, and software is profitable. Therefore, of the budget of seven or eight billion US dollars, the cost of making the system is probably only about 500 million, and the other 300 million is the funds left for the host to lose money. As a rough calculation, the amount of tiered money we get from Sega is about $10 million a year. That's not much for the current Qin Dynasty......"
"yes...... The financial route of the first party will not focus on this, but the main engine, which ...... the main engine" Yokoi Junhei sat down in his chair like a toad, took a sip of canned coffee: "According to this trend, the year-end settlement of Genesis, according to my experience, it is very likely to exceed eight million units, which is a profit of nearly 100 million dollars." However, the money that the host makes is not a big part compared to the money that the software shares. Nintendo's annual net profit of one billion, four-fifths of which is in the share. I guess ......"
He pondered for a moment: "At the end of the year, I am afraid that the Qin Dynasty will be able to stabilize the income of about 150 million." Coupled with DDR music copyrights, there should be tens of millions of dollars, and the writeable cassette tape should bring tens of millions of profits...... There is also the previous electronic panda, which is Dongka's share, but the popularity has dropped significantly recently, and if there are four million, it is time to open champagne to celebrate......"
Is the annual net profit nearly 300 million...... Qin Yuanfeng narrowed his eyes and looked at the cigarette butts in front of him.
Still is...... Inadequate......
If you want to enter the console market, it is still too little, how many years and months will it take to accumulate about one billion US dollars, and Sony to come to that crazy war in 94?
"After this work, I am ready to start selling the copyright of the Qin Dynasty."
"Oh?" Yokoi Junhei laughed: "Enlightened? It's just that your game genre, not an RPG, is hard to get the copyright of the adapted comics. At the same time, you don't have a character like toys, marbles, cards......"
The two of them looked at the second development group opposite, and Yokoi Junhei coughed lightly: "When I didn't say it." ”
"So, your business is coming right away." Qin Yuanfeng stood up with a smile, crumpled the empty cigarette box in his hand, hit the trash can accurately with a shooting action, and said with a smile: "Before this, I'll find you something to do first." ”
"Tonight, let's go have dinner together. I have an old friend I think you might be interested in meeting him. ”
"Who?" Yokoi yawned heavily: "Don't delay me with a nobody." ”
"Yu Suzuki." Qin Yuanfeng smiled bluntly.
Gunpei Yokoi stopped yawning halfway through, scratched his head, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face: "He...... It's really a ...... A respectable opponent to be missed......"
"It's just that I really didn't expect that we would meet again in this kind of place......"
The meeting with Yu Suzuki is very common, and he chose the best Western restaurant in Shanghai at present, and he and Junhei Yokoi both attended, which was enough to give Yu Suzuki face.
"Qin Jun." Suzuki Yu couldn't say anything in his heart, but his face was unwavering: "I haven't seen you for a long time, it's really terrifying." ”
"Long time no see." Qin Yuanfeng sat down across from him and motioned for the waiter to start serving, before he smiled and said to Yu Suzuki, "I don't think I need to introduce this much, right?" ”
"Yokoi-sensei." Yu Suzuki greeted respectfully, and Yokoi just nodded his head and stopped talking.
"Qin Jun, I'm not here to eat." Yu Suzuki sighed, his heart full of helplessness. It's only been a few years? The other party is no longer the genius planner who asked himself to review, but the first party who is high up, even if it is him, he must be treated carefully.
"You're for something I refuse to cooperate." Qin Yuanfeng picked up the wine glass with a smile, shook the ruby-like red wine, and said with a smile: "Teacher Suzuki...... You're still that fast-talking. But I'm worried, you don't have many shares in Sega, and there are old acquaintances such as Ko Okawa, Tetsu Kayama, Yasuo Tabe, and Hideki Okamura, working under these butchers, can they really use your talents? ”
Yu Suzuki looked up in amazement. My heart was already full of surprise and disbelief.
Surprised, the other party's natural tone, as if he was not Qin Yuanfeng, but Yamauchi Pu.
It's too natural, so natural that he doesn't believe it, the respect of the third party disappears in the blink of an eye on the other party, and is replaced by self-confidence, strong self-confidence.
It is unbelievable that this negotiation was meant to cooperate, but I didn't expect the other party to poach people.
"Hehe, Qin Dong said with a smile." He finally realized that this was no longer the student who had just graduated from college, but was indeed the chairman of the first party.
Qin Yuanfeng just smiled, unwilling to say? Yes, anyway, Sega is also declining according to its original history, and it is not up to you to decide whether it will come or not when the time comes.
"Okay. Let's talk about Sega's partnership plan. He smiled and flicked his wine glass, listening to the crisp sound of Dangdang: "Sega's business is in business machines, arcades, and TV game consoles, and I really can't find much in common." As for wanting Qin Dynasty to start on MD, if it's a question, I think it's better to have a casual meal tonight. ”
They are all people who know the roots, everyone has nothing to hide, and the most direct equivalent exchange is the best way to save time. So, everyone didn't think about how to go around in circles at first.
Yu Suzuki pondered for a moment, and finally slowly opened his mouth: "No first party will put its masterpiece on other platforms, of course I will not propose such a stupid construction ...... But Qin Jun, do you remember what you did when DDR was released? ”
"I've done a lot, and I don't know which one you're talking about."
Yu Suzuki leaned over slightly, lowered his voice and said, "At that time, Sony plagiarized the idea that Nintendo used to target the company's new console, FC's follow-up console, and as a result, you pierced it, right?" ”
"Yes, later, Nintendo and Sony got into a big lawsuit. There is no one year or two years that can't be over. And once the court determines that it is plagiarism, Sony's console will be ordered to stop production, so one of the two sides wants to correct the other party's plagiarism, and the other tries to avoid plagiarism, and you probably don't want to hear all kinds of insider information. I just want to tell you one thing. ”
He took a deep breath: "At the beginning, Nintendo accused Sony of plagiarism, and Sony counter-accused Nintendo of vicious competition and industry monopoly. They were inextricably matched, but ......"
"Where did that mainframe drawing go?"
Yokoi's back straightened slightly, as if he had thought of something, he restrained all his expressions, and looked at Suzuki Yu seriously.
