Doesn't it mean that $5 is the bottom line? That's how fast that line has become......

Alexei took the paper, saw these conditions listed by Yang Yun, and gasped: "Yang! Do you really think Nintendo's GameBoy will sell more than 10 million units? ”

Yang Yun smacked his lips: "What is 10 million units!" Maybe there will be more! If they don't agree to this condition, then you drag it, they can't afford it! ”

Until 2000, GameBoy sold more than 100 million, not counting the number of game cartridges! If the Japanese don't accept it, Nintendo's [100] [year] [celebration] [canon] will be yellow, and the GameBoy without Tetris will definitely be overshadowed in the North American market!

Alexey thought it was incredible, but the contract proposed by Yang Yun was indeed beneficial to them, and he fought hard for it, and he should get the consent of the Japanese.

After the breakup, Yang Yun returned to the state-owned 938 factory to meet old friends, and Alexei returned to the Edward Building and informed Nintendo.

"Mr. Uchiyama, this is my new proposal."

"Or is it divided? Hmm, licensing by volume? ”

If the sales volume of the game cartridge containing Tetris is less than 1 million sets in North America, the patent fee is $1/set, and the sales volume is 1 million-10 million, the patent fee is $2/set, and the sales volume exceeds 10 million, the patent fee is $3/set.

And this segmented license agreement is for all game cards, GameBoy and Famicom can be ported, and the fee is charged by the number of copies.

This is the bottom line set by Yang Yun, which is indeed much cheaper than the $5 set plan, almost 50% concession, but the scope has been expanded, and the idea of the entire game card industry has been started.

Nintendo's negotiator Uchiyamakhut fell into deep thought, no one knows whether the new game console will sell well or not, based on past experience, Famicom has sold more than 3 million units in Japan and 4 million units in North America, and more than 10 million is a very easy thing, and the GameBoy should not be too bad.

However, the number of Famicom's game software is four or five hundred, and the playability greatly exceeds that of the GameBoy, and Nintendo's launch of the GameBoy is the pursuit of market segments, focusing on portability and compactness, but because there are so many people playing games, it is bound to compete with Famicom.

Therefore, the GameBoy is not as playable as Famicom, and it is a new product, so no one can say how much it will sell in North America.

If it is a sales of 1 million units, Nintendo will have to pay $1 million in royalties, and more than 1 million units, they will have to spend tens of millions of dollars, which is far from the $100,000 buyout they originally planned, but it is less than half the initial offer of a $5 COPY.

Uchimankhut bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, Mr. Pagiterov, we can't meet your request. ”

Alexey hugged his chest and said coldly: "Why don't you discuss with the headquarters again?" ”

Uchimankhut was very tough: "I don't think the headquarters will agree, farewell!" ”

Alexey closed his eyes to see off the guest, in fact, he was extremely worried in his heart, he could only hope that Yang Yun could do something good now.

……

……

Coming out of the State Patent Office, Zhao Yongping's face was full of joy, the patent application materials have been submitted, and the Dabawang learning machine finally has a name now.

The improved production process, appearance, trademark, makeover learning card content, and the source code of the three games such as Snake were all applied for by Zhao Yongping, knowing that he was plagiarized, he could also say that it was original.

Yang Yun thought about it for a long time, some of the patent applications handed over by Zhao Yongping must be beaten back, and he and Alexey took the Tetris patent first, and it is impossible to hide it from everyone for a long time, and sooner or later it will be revealed.

When that day comes, what Zhao Yongping will think of him, you don't have to think about it.

So Yang Yun made up his mind to help Zhao Yongping again, and then leave this big whirlpool ahead of schedule.

"Director Zhao, I have a small suggestion."

"You say."

The two of them found a small restaurant casually, and the original jihua went back to Chongshan after eating.

Yang Yun said: "When the Kote study card is turned on, there is a line of Kote's words, which I think is a bit interesting. When our overlord is turned on, can we also learn to do it? ”

Zhao Yongping frowned: "Show the words of the Overlord Learning Machine?" ”

Yang Yun shook his head: "The animation is not intuitive, we use sound!" ”

Zhao Yongping's eyes lit up: "That's right! Let's find a celebrity to advertise! ”

Yang Yun smiled, Zhao Yongping was a little transparent, and he was really a master of doing business.

Zhao Yongping put down his chopsticks and became interested: "Who are you looking for?" The person's voice must be unique, recognizable, and famous, and the words spoken must be convincing, and it is best to deal with children's programs. Pregnant! Sister Ju Ping, or Uncle Dong! ”

Yang Yun gave a thumbs up: "Director Zhao really has a good eye!" If these two people can be found, the fame of the overlord will be played out at once. ”

Sister Ju Ping and Uncle Dong Hao, those are the gold medal hosts of CCTV's children's programs!

Tangram's children's program has penetrated into thousands of households and is welcomed by hundreds of millions of children across the country.

And Uncle Dong, as the voice of Mickey Mouse, the host of the puppet show of Funny Head and Uncle Dong, and the famous column Big Windmill hosted later, plus a golden beetle character that will never grow up, is also popular among thousands of children!

But after thinking about it, Zhao Yongping suddenly became discouraged: "These two people are national first-class announcers and famous hosts of CCTV, can we invite them to such a small factory?" ”

Yang Yun smiled: "It's man-made!" Director Zhao, you are a graduate student of the National People's Congress......"

Zhao Yongping gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "Okay!" If you don't go, we'll be running this thing in the capital these days! ”

The National People's Congress is a good school that has trained a large number of politicians, and Zhao Yongping's classmates are basically mixed in the political circle of the capital.

So it didn't take long for Zhao Yongping to contact Huang Pingsheng, a classmate of CCTV.

Huang Pingsheng wore glasses, was polite, wore a shirt and trousers, and was the most popular cadre style at that time.

After greeting each other, the two of them had their own feelings.

Huang Pingsheng said: "Boss Zhao, you are the only one in the class, and it is said that you have made a lot of money?" ”

Zhao Yongping had a bitter face: "Pingsheng, don't scold me." What kind of boss am I? I became the director of a small factory, I worked more than cattle all day long, ate less than chickens, and worked early in the dark, and in the end I was all exploited by my superiors. ”

The two of them hahadaxiao talked about meeting Ju Ping and Dong Hao, and Huang Pingsheng was a little embarrassed: "I'm on CCTV, and I'm just the deputy editor-in-chief of a small column, I'm afraid it's not easy to arrange!" ”

Zhao Yongping complimented: "No matter how difficult it is, it's better than us entering the door, right?" ”

Huang Pingsheng waved his hand: "If you want to enter the door, there are still ways, and CCTV and other TV stations are the same, and they will not refuse to advertise businesses." ”

Zhao Yongping is clear, this is estimated to cost money. But he didn't have much budget in his hand, and he didn't know what the price of inviting these two hosts was, so he cautiously asked: "If you invite the two of them, how much will this advertising fee be?" ”

Huang Pingsheng pouted: "It's not good for me to help with the price, so let's arrange it, you go and talk to the advertising department yourself!" ”
