Chapter 006: Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents

In 1989, the Shenzhen market was full of opportunities.

This is a special era, the country has a small setback at the political level, that happened, coupled with the joint sanctions of Western countries, there is a shortage of materials in society, prices are skyrocketing, I am afraid that you have no goods, almost anything has a market!

Only demonstrated the game of the snake once, the cassette wholesalers in Shenzhen underwrote the 1000 boxes of cassette, the payment was very happy, and it was cash, more than a dozen people carried cash bags, around Zhao Yongping rushed to ask!

An instant hit!

Zhao Yongping and the cashier protected the 30,000 yuan in their arms, and hurriedly fled to the car, bursting into tears.

Although this is a small 30,000 yuan, it means that Huamao Electronics Factory finally has a way to live!

Zhao Yongping is less than 30 years old, he applied for a job in the factory under great pressure, and tried every means to make a living, how much pressure he was under, and how many people he endured......

1000 cassettes were sold out in less than an hour, and there were seven or eight bosses ready to visit Huamao Electronics Factory.

The factory is saved!

On the other hand, Yang Yun left ahead of schedule alone, and it was rare for him to come to the deep market, and this time he took a good turn to the local electronic product wholesale market, and he really had no bottom in his heart.

Sure enough, when Zhao Yongping was about to drive back to Chongshan, he saw Yang Yun with an iron face, and also noticed a large bag of things that Yang Yun was carrying.

It's a beautifully packaged box with a label that reads "Nintendo"!

Zhao Yongping's heart sank suddenly, because he saw a word in Yang Yun's eyes, called helplessness!

……

……

Back at Huamao Electronics Factory, the three of them came to the development workshop.

Watching Yang Yun take out the cassettes titled "Donkey-Kong" and "Super-Mario-Bros", Zhao Yongping asked, "What is this?" ”

Alexei tossed around on the test machine for a long time, put the cassette in it, and it turned out to be compatible, and he simply played the game.

Yang Yun looked depressed: "These are Nintendo's genuine cartridges!" A full set of machines costs 1200, how can I afford to buy it! It took a long time to get these plates, and there were Donkey Kong and Super Mario! I'll it! Do you want to be so cheating? The third niece of your seventh uncle! How else to play this Nima? ”

Yang Yun was a little angry and didn't choose to speak, and he didn't care if Zhao Yongping understood it or not, because he suddenly had a deep sense of powerlessness.

Nintendo is a well-known Japanese game console company, entered the FC market in 1985, developed Donkey Kong and Super Mario in less than two years, and successfully landed in Europe and the United States in 1987, and then in the following years, in North America and Japan, sold 40 million sets of cartridges, to Zuihou, the entire Shijie Super Mario series sold 160 million sets!

What kind of concept is this?

To have such an opponent is a nightmare! What kind of competition is not competition, it is not an order of magnitude at all, there is no comparison between a baby and a super heavyweight boxing champion, no, Huamao Electronics Factory can't even be called a baby, at most it is a frightened egg......

Fortunately, in 1989, Nintendo only sold genuine cards, Chinese mainland consumption power was too low, it was struggling in the Chinese mainland market, and did not pay much attention to the Chinese market, there was no large-scale distribution.

Yang Yun's eyes were on fire, if he wanted to pocket this classic game, there was only one way for him to go, and that was - copycat!

Yang Yun said solemnly: "Director Zhao, I hope to dive into research with Alexey, make this set of Super Mario as quickly as possible, and then release our own version of Super Mario!" Compare speed with Nintendo and grab the market! ”

When Zhao Yongping heard it, his first reaction was that this was a good thing, anyway, it's not all copycats, anyone can be copycats, since they have already copied 1000 boxes, then they can copycat 10,000 boxes in the future, copycat Kote's learning card, and it's not bad to copycat a Nintendo.

This is the same as stealing, at the beginning, both parties were concerned about morality and public opinion, but as long as they broke through the first hurdle, they would make an appointment with their lover in the future, and it would be an appointment.

In the past two days, the 1000 boxes of cartridges in the cottage have a small profit of 20,000, if the two copycat games are entered, the price of a single card will become higher, and the fool will not do it!

Zhao Yongping nodded, looking at Mario bouncing on the monitor, it seemed quite attractive, he himself was hahadaxiao, and asked, "Alexey!" What do you think of Xiao Yang's Jihua? ”

Alexey accidentally jumped into the pit and three lives were dead, Game-Over.

He put down the handle and said with some hesitation: "Gluttony is nothing, I haven't heard of any big company that has a patent for it." But if you copy all of Nintendo's two games, I'm afraid there will be trouble! Nintendo is also a large enterprise in Japan, so you are not afraid that it will sue you for infringement? ”

Yang Yun snorted coldly: "This is China!" I still don't believe how big a wave Little Japan can make! ”

In 1985, the Japanese prime minister paid his first official visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, which caused an uproar in China's public opinion circles.

Coupled with the incident that happened in the capital this year, the United States and other Western countries imposed sanctions on China in many ways, and Japan was among them!

This sentence is Yang Yun's angry words, he is familiar with history, of course, he knows how Sino-Japanese relations will develop in the future, little Japan in China has really made a lot of waves, countless Japanese companies have entered Chinese mainland, everywhere blossomed.

And he also knew that later Universal Group and Nintendo went to international court for the copyright of "Donkey Kong", and Nintendo also dragged Sega and Sony into an endless legal war because of cassette games, and Nintendo They are definitely not vegetarians!

In the end, everything is just one word, money.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing your parents!

Copycat Super Mario and then compete with Nintendo for the market, this nature can change!

Nintendo is a strong company, it firmly controls the exclusive right to produce all cartridges in Japan, as well as the right to distribute software, all game cartridges must be manufactured in its factory, or in an outsourced factory with strict quality control, and most of the profits from popular games developed by third parties go to Nintendo, and the risks and obligations are all borne by the developer.

If Yang Yun really copied this Super Mario exactly, it is really hard to say whether Nintendo will sue him in court.

But he really didn't want to give away the classic game of Super Mario!

Zhao Yongping is the actual helmsman of Huamao Electronics Factory, and he has a lot to think about, asking: "When was this Super Mario made?" ”

"The year before last, around 1987, focusing on the domestic and North American markets in Japan, I heard that there were millions of cassette sales, but it was difficult to see in our domestic mainland market, I searched for a long time in the Shenzhen market to find it, and I heard their dealers say that this cassette is too expensive and not easy to sell!"

"There are millions of markets...... So what are you going to do? ”
