Chapter 157: The Fate of God's Work
Thinking of this, even if Qin Yuanfeng was calm in his heart, he couldn't help but feel his heart beat.
In this era, copyright is on the rise, Japan has highly valued various patents, Panasonic, Toshiba and other companies will never leak the advanced technology, once a company plagiarizes, it will be regarded as a public enemy of the industry!
In order to save the market and lead the old players to resist the impact of the sixteen-bit machine, Nintendo will announce the Nintendo Christmas sale in October.
It's a deception and likewise a business tactic to raise the player's sense of anticipation and make them wait.
However, the Nintendo sFc did not open well at all, and it was not officially sold until 91. In order to prevent players from rioting, they took advantage of the situation to launch the long-planned handheld gameBoy series.
In this series, most of the 8-bit games can be ported, but because of its portability and playability, many games are not suitable for gB.
What they need is a classic masterpiece that can play a lot of time and keep players from getting bored!
So, Nintendo's eyes were on Tetris.
The sleeping memory was awakened, and he remembered something again.
For example, in January '88, Tetris became popular on computers. Alexey is not an idiot, he understands the value of his things. So, when Nintendo came to the door, his asking price was definitely not low.
But what kind of company is Nintendo? The leader in the industry, Yamauchi Pu has always only bargained with others, how can he tolerate a Soviet man to bargain for himself?
However, with the imminent sale of gB, there was no time for them to continue negotiations, and on the one hand, they used extremely vicious tactics against Alexei, who was weak and weak, and on the other hand, they secretly risked the world's condemnation - piracy!
Success or failure is a hero, he also remembered that when intellectual property rights were really mature, he had only seen the news about the "Tetris copyright dispute", but it was already yesterday's yellow flower. Nintendo's status as the king of handheld computers is already unshakable!
This is the company that keeps calling on everyone to play genuine, and this is the industry leader who rejects the genuine market with a population of 1.3 billion!
In the new model, this handheld series that helped Nintendo survive the defeat of the Second Age of electronic entertainment in the future, what he did at the beginning of the sale!
No wonder...... Qin Yuanfeng let out a long sigh, no wonder the Nintendo Executive Committee was dispatched.
They are going to receive their results at CES and sit in front of everyone's eyes to confirm the "Nintendo's discernment" statement!
This makes Alexei unable to refute it if he wants to refute it in the future!
"What a vicious approach...... Typical businessman means......" Qin Yuanfeng closed his eyes to adjust his mood, slowly opened his eyes, and said word by word: "It's really ...... Makes me incredibly disgusting! β
Alexei's feelings also calmed down, but he still gritted his teeth and said: "I can swear to my faith!" Just bring down Nintendo! I'll immediately transfer all the rights to Tetris! β
Qin Yuanfeng didn't speak, he coveted the copyright of the small square, but this condition was absolutely impossible to achieve.
At least not at all.
To knock down this behemoth, you can only use the method of drawing little by little, which is a natural process, at least for five years, it is impossible to let Nintendo, which has a net profit of billions a year, go out of business.
Even he couldn't.
"Mr. Alexey, I regret what happened to you, can you elaborate on what is going on?" He sighed and said, "We have a common enemy, and I need to understand the cause and effect of this. β
Alexei nodded, gritted his teeth, and said, "The beginning of things...... It's because I opened Tetris. β
"In January of this year, I applied for a patent for this game, but because of the communist system of the Soviet Union, this game does not belong to me completely, but half to me, and generally belongs to the Soviet Scientific Computer Center. In March, the people at Nintendo found me. β
"Do you know who is looking for me?" He sneered: "NOA Company, President of Nintendo North America, Minoru Arakawa." β
"With him came another person, NOA North American Sales President, Henk. Rogers! β
are all connected...... Qin Yuanfeng nodded, and the last pieces were put together.
Rogers didn't appear on the list because the other party didn't need to participate at all! The other party has been a Nintendo person since the beginning!
The hidden Rogers appeared where he was supposed to be.
No, there is still a doubt.
In that case, how could the plan be put on Sega's table?
He listened quietly.
"Minoru Arakawa wanted to buy the full rights to the game and offered half a million dollars. Before that, I had sold the rights to Bulletproof and Microsoft in the United States. β
"These two companies only make computer game software. That's it, my game sales are also close to 100,000! I made a profit of $250,000. I don't believe that putting it on Fc with such a high level of popularity, it is just doubled! The popularity of FC can be said to be dozens of times that of computers! Hundredfold! How could I possibly agree to such a price! β
"Unexpectedly, Nintendo started in May, and I don't know where to get a copy of his company's software, which is extremely similar to Tetris. Sue me for plagiarism! This lawsuit has not been fought until now! And because I was in dire need of money, I asked Microsoft to invest in Tetris for Sega. But the other party did not sign the contract! β
"In July, Rogers and his partner Stein approached me and promised me that as long as I opened the arcade version of Tetris, Nintendo would drop the charge. At that time, I thought that the copyright was still in my hands, and the center and I personally could not afford to drag it on with such a leading enterprise. So I agreed. β
Qin Yuanfeng had basically understood all the contexts. The plot appeared on Sega's table because of this, and he continued: "I didn't expect that after you opened the arcade for Nintendo, it gave the other party more reason to say that Tetris should have been opened by them?" β
"That's right!" Alexei trembled angrily: "Moreover, I have never received a penny of the copyright due!" β
"At this time, a company called eLoRg approached me and applied to accept my copyright and was in charge of the sale of Tetris. I was struggling with Nintendo, so of course I agreed. β
Qin Yuanfeng shook his head: "If I'm not mistaken, this eLoRg company itself is Nintendo's leather bag company. After it gets your Ken, it should refuse all cooperation with companies other than Nintendo, right? β
"Yes!" Alexey gritted his teeth: "Nintendo figured out that GuΓ² is such a step-by-step Tetris opener!" β
Qin Yuanfeng sighed secretly, Alexei is still naΓ―ve, now that intellectual property rights have just been taken seriously, there are loopholes everywhere, Nintendo is indeed pirated, and it is cut first and then played, but legally speaking, the other party really got Alexei's Ken.
If that's all it takes, forget it, but unfortunately, Nintendo's people are not enough to swallow elephants, and what they want is the naming rights of Tetris!
Their vision is indeed very unique, and they can see the potential of Tetris at a glance. That's why I want to eat this little cube completely. Through the guΓ² channel, Alexei and himself were linked, and then through a series of means to force the other party to give up or transfer the patent, and before that, he also pulled out Alexei's piracy lawsuit, one qiΔ and one qiΔ, all in order to finally prove that "I am the founder of Tetris!" β
Even if they weren't, they had to remember that Tetris is a Fc game, not who drove it!
In fact, they did get to this point in the end, and they all know that Tetris is fun, but who knows his real opener, Alexey?
Alexei has no choice now, the center has been bought, and he personally can't afford to drag on the other party at all, Qin Yuanfeng can think that the center's persecution of him is to make him give up his identity as a Tetris driver, at least not so obviously.
And Alexei already hated it so much that even if he gave up, he would let Nintendo lose a piece of meat!
Therefore, when Qin Yuanfeng found him, he immediately agreed to meet.
Thinking of this, Qin Yuanfeng also recalled a lot of things, such as the famous Tetris copyright dispute, which involved countless companies, and the number of pirated copies in it was innumerable. But he didn't expect that the biggest piracy was actually the current sanctimonious game leader!
And this dragon head is still forcing the original author to death!
His gaze turned, and after a long time, he suddenly grinned: "Mr. Alexey, do you want to...... Pit Nintendo together? β
"Okay?" Alexei's eyes brightened, and he knew Nintendo's status very well: "Mr. Qin, are you sure you can make them suffer?" I don't want to bring them down, oh, it's just my angry words, I know it's impossible. But I'm very happy to be able to make them suffer. β
"Possibly." Qin Yuanfeng sneered and licked his lips: "If things are really as I thought, the Heavenly Dao is ninety-nine, and one of them will be lost, and one will be alive." β
"There's still a glimmer of chance."
He laughed, "If my guess comes true, this time...... I'm afraid Nintendo will have to suffer a blood loss that I can't think of at all! β
Nintendo thinks very well, the methods are very vicious, and the actions are even said to have no lower limit to describe, it is difficult to imagine a company that shouts rights protection and refuses piracy, in fact, it is piracy to save itself.
However, they overlooked one thing.
That's the attitude of Pu Yamauchi!
The attitude of the Iron Emperor played a crucial role in this matter! If Qin Yuanfeng's guess is true, this time, even if Nintendo has arranged a situation a few months ago, it has left a negligible, but extremely deadly hidden danger!
Sega is absolutely aware of this hidden danger, but they don't know what Nintendo wants to cover up in CES.
Only Qin Yuanfeng, a traverser like him, can perfectly link Yamauchi's attitude to this matter and find out the only missing weakness in Nintendo's layout!
