CHAPTER 349: GENESIS GENESIS (I)
Christmas in '89 was booming.
The electronic entertainment industry has become the Christmas choice of many families, especially in Europe and the United States, who are looking forward to the entry of Japanese game consoles and games into the market.
However, this year, many families were surprised that their children did not propose Christmas gifts?
"Oh, Jonathan......" In Paris, a blonde, blue-eyed, well-established mother touched her child's head in her sophomore year of high school and said depressedly, "How can you do without presents at Christmas?" It's conventional...... Can't we put up a Christmas tree and no presents in our socks, right? This is a non-conforming ......"
"I don't care! I don't care! Jonathan is a big fat man, and he is rolling around on the couch at the moment, shouting as he rolls, "I want a gift!" February's gift! I don't want Christmas presents! Woooooo ”
"Alright, Jonathan!" His father, who was also a big fat man, slapped him twice on the buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "Don't play tricks on your mother, how old are you?" Get up and tell Daddy why? ”
Jonathan rolled up from the couch with a reluctant face, rubbed his nose and said, "Our family is not very wealthy...... If you want Christmas, you won't have it anymore. Dad, it's just once a year, and what I want hasn't come out for Christmas yet......"
The father touched his head lovingly: "Okay, Dad will buy it for you when the time comes......"
"Oh...... No! No! Jonathan jumped up excitedly, like a big wolfdog wagging his tail desperately, and smiled flatteringly: "Dad...... Let me buy it! ”
"You?" The parents looked at their son in surprise: "Isn't it different for the parents to buy you and put them in your socks?" ”
"It's different! It's not the same! Jonathan waved his hands excitedly, "Oh, Dad, Mommy, you don't understand that feeling!" I fell in love with it the first time I saw the ad! It's so dazzling! That's cool! This kind of thing...... You have to open it and play it as soon as you get it, so that you can experience that long-awaited feeling! ”
When his parents finally agreed, Jonathan cheered, rushed into his room, and quickly grabbed the phone: "Hey! Billy! My parents said yes...... Your parents agreed?! That's great! When the time comes, let's go and line up together! Be sure to buy that new console as soon as possible...... Don't worry, there shouldn't be too many people, after all, it's not Nintendo's console......"
While Jonathan was on the phone, the major shopping malls in the United States were already overcrowded.
It's Christmas Eve, and the whole street has been immersed in a sea of joy, and you can hear spontaneous, singing Christmas songs everywhere, and Christmas trees are brightly lit.
"What?! No?! A twenty-four-five-year-old young man banged on the table angrily: "Why are you still hanging up advertisements without you?!" The whole street is full! Isn't Carrefour the agent of the host of the Qin Dynasty?! Not on sale at Christmas! When will it be released!? ”
"No way...... "Christmas, the waiters are almost home, and standing in front of the stage is the department manager in suits and leather shoes. He said with a sad face: "The propaganda must have been started one step earlier." The release date is February, according to internal sources. Come back in February. Or...... Now there are MD and FC on the shelves, do you want to take a look? ”
In this Carrefour shop, there were several teenagers who followed the angry youth, and when they heard this, they looked at the people in front of the counter with a strange gaze, and shouted in unison: "Who wants it!" It's ugly to death! ”
"Ugly and dark! It's not modern at all! "Yes! Compared with the handheld of the Qin Dynasty, it is simply heaven and earth! ”
Similar scenarios are happening in all corners of the world, and NEXT's phone is almost blown up.
"Mr. Jobs." Jobs, who was cutting the turkey, washed his hands, picked up the phone, and heard the voice of the secretary inside: "The people who asked the host of the Qin Dynasty at Christmas even exceeded the people who asked about FC...... Mr. Jobs, this console, sales are probably going to be very amazing. ”
Jobs thought for a while and said, "They got off to a good start, but Qin Jun's funds will always be a hurdle that cannot be bypassed." Anyway, the channel dealer is looking for him to withdraw money, not looking for me. We just have to wait for the day when his funds collapse. ”
"Mr. Jobs......" hesitated on the phone: "We...... Don't make a move? If his console sales are good...... We're not bad at taking over. ”
"No!" Unexpectedly, Jobs suddenly roared, and then, taking a deep breath, said, "SORRY, I WAS IMPULSIVE." NEXT doesn't make games, never does! ”
"Whoever wants to take over, let him go, all I want is Qin."
Qin Yuanfeng definitely didn't expect that his console was not on sale, and from the company to the individual, it had already been carved up by a group of people.
Christmas is fast over, however, the tide of this console war has officially begun to get hotter and hotter!
All over the world, Nintendo's distribution points, and the Qin Dynasty's distribution points, all hung huge banners, and advertisements were spilled out like no money. Nintendo has not shied away from going head-to-head with the Qin Dynasty!
A lot of gold yuan was spilled out, and Yamauchi Pu sat at the headquarters and sneered, Nintendo has money in the past six years. No matter how influential the host of the Qin Dynasty is, he will dilute it with intensive advertising!
It would be great if the Qin Dynasty played an ad against him!
Every advertisement is tens of thousands of dollars, and the Qin Dynasty dares to drag Nintendo?
Look for death!
However, the fact is that the Qin Dynasty really started the Jinyuan War with Nintendo, and how much Nintendo released, they will definitely not be too less!
"Is this waiting for the capital chain to collapse early?" In Nintendo, all the directors were dumbfounded.
They didn't understand at all that the Qin Dynasty was crazy!
Now that every penny has to be carefully calculated, the other party dares to continue the advertisement!
Because of the overwhelming popularity of this kind of advertising, various Chinese versions, GB, and this unknown host have now been hyped up to the world!
This is the result of thousands of dollars piling up!
Every day, the major dealerships receive numerous phone calls, some asking about GB, but more people are asking about the host that has been refusing to play its name!
"That's cool...... countless teenagers, looking at the console that made them fall in love with it again and again, anxiously waiting...... February is coming.
Nintendo did not retreat, they were quietly waiting for the time when they counterattacked. Like a beast licking its claws, it already regards the Qin Dynasty as its own bag.
The Qin Dynasty would not retreat, Qin Yuanfeng looked at the calendar again and again, silent, waiting for the earth-shattering change to happen.
The days passed very quickly, no matter how much they urged, the Qin Dynasty would never announce the name of the host. This mystery is bound to remain until the end!
In February, in the atmosphere of players being anxious and the two rival companies making their own calculations, finally arrived.
Paris, night, eight o'clock.
At the end of winter, in Paris, a cold wind crivels through the streets, but on February 1, which is not a festival, the streets are suddenly filled with countless teenagers.
They walked out into the streets in groups of three or five with expressions of great expectation, each of them, from time to time, carefully touching their trouser pockets, as if their hearts were in them.
"Hey! Able! "A young man just walked out of the house, and his eyes lit up immediately.
In front of his house, a half-new car had been parked, and on the car, several young men as old as him were desperately waving at him, their faces full of excitement: "What are you waiting for!" Hurry up! Start at nine o'clock! It's only an hour! ”
With a whistle, Abel immediately jumped into the convertible, and the teenager driving the car triumphantly patted the door: "How about my father's car, I named him Bumblebee!" Enough energy! ”
"Nonsense!" "Hurry up! There's no time to watch you show off the car! "Bernard, do you have a driver's license?"
A few hands reached for his hair indignantly, rubbing it hard several times, and Bernard said depressedly, "Sit down...... Let's go! ”
A series of whistles, with the excitement of a carload of young people, drove non-stop towards the destination.
"It's finally time for this day......" Abel patted his trouser pocket and smiled excitedly, "This time, I must buy a white limited edition of the mask!" He is the pride of our Paris! ”
"Bastard! I want to buy it too! I'm ready to buy both! "I want it too! Only 700 units! Hope it's in time! "God forbid...... Don't have too many people! In order to buy this console whose name I don't know, I didn't even ask for a gift for Christmas! Oh...... Just a bunch of candy! That's not a gift! ”
The sound of chattering, through the guò convertible, stained the long street.
Able stood up excitedly and let out a wolf howl in the car, shouting, "Mask! Here we go! ”
"Guys!" Like Napoleon's triumphant return, he waved his arms and shouted like a revolutionary: "Where is our goal!" ”
"Piazza Tocadero!" The three men, hoarse, shouted in reply with extreme excitement.
"What's there!"
"Eiffel Tower!"
"Hahaha! God bless us on our triumphant return! ”
However, their agitation did not last ten minutes.
Not long after they drove out, they made a strange discovery......
Traffic jam?!
"Oh! Bastard! Bernard looked at the somewhat congested streets around him dumbfounded, and slapped the car window hard: "What's going on?!" How could you choose a traffic jam today! Do these bastards all visit the Eiffel Tower in the middle of the night?! ”R1058
