Chapter 059: Namco and the Glory Battle

The second general meeting of Longteng Entertainment Game Company was held.

Yang Yun announced four resolutions to deepen the reform of the company.

The first resolution is to add a new product department, with Zhao Yongping as the department manager, responsible for the production of all Longteng company-related products, and look for an independent factory in Zhongguancun, whose products include but are not limited to learning machines and game cards, as well as large-scale industrial-grade integrated circuit boards, miniature semiconductor circuit boards, etc.

These are the main products of Chiyang Electronics Factory and Dabawang Electronics Company, Zhao Yongping is familiar with the way, and can quickly get started and take up heavy responsibilities.

Yang Yun did not abandon the research and development of large-scale industrial-grade and miniature semiconductor circuit boards, mainly for the future large-scale arcade and handheld machine production in advance, and now focuses on jishu reserves.

Once he has unified the domestic FC market and gained a foothold internationally, he will expand his business to make his own arcade large boards and portable handhelds, as well as develop related game merchandise, which will be handled by the product department led by Zhao Yongping.

The second item, a new procurement department, by Fang Jindong is responsible, the most important thing at present is the import of foreign computer chips, and by the way, take on the responsibility of game copyright purchase, set up a legal affairs department, Fang Jindong, a northeastern man, patted his chest and promised to do so.

The procurement department involves a lot of resources, and the scope of coverage is miscellaneous, now Longteng Company is small, with few personnel, Zhao Yongping and Jiang Shaoyun Jiang Yang, these people need to contribute to provide convenience for Fang Jindong, and everyone will pick up materials to be high.

The third thing, the expansion of the R&D department, through Zhao Yongping's matchmaking, as well as Yang Yun's efforts, respect for the choice of the parties, as long as the R&D personnel of Dabawang Company are willing to go north, they will be fully accepted by Yang Yun and integrated into the R&D department of Longteng.

Some of these people are Yang Yun's colleagues in Huamao Electronics Factory, and some are newcomers recruited by Dabawang later, of course, including the three "traitors" who jumped from Longteng Company.

Yang Yun didn't have any special expression, treated everyone equally, and didn't even say a word of blame, but after the meeting, Jiang Shaoyun rushed to the homes of the three "traitors" overnight, sent praise and condolences on behalf of Yang Yun, and promised to promote and reuse in the R&D department within a year, and this infernal drama finally came to a perfect end!

There is also the fourth thing of zuihou, the reorganization of the R&D department, Yang Yun served as the chief designer to personally guide the design ideas, and carried out flat management of the R&D department.

For example, in the group that already exists, the study card project team is in charge of Zhang Guotai and Zhu Shiqiang of the former Dabawang company, one of them is a senior engineer of the Kete study card, and the other is the Jishu section chief of the pyramid study card.

The FC reeling game project team is in charge of Zhang Guoqiang of Tsinghua University, a senior who has not yet graduated, and finally identified this stage, full of confidence and ambition, with Ma Liang, a young man who came over from the heavy mountain, and four or five young team members of the same age, ready to do a big job.

The SLG project team of the historical simulation game is in charge of Yan Inoe Yanxiong, and Yang Yun started the localization of the Three Kingdoms game, which is equivalent to designing it from scratch, and now this is the top priority, rushing to grab the task in a hurry, and the pressure on this project team is the greatest.

In addition, the planning team includes Liu Cixing's copywriting support, Matsumoto Yoshino and Xiang Tian's art support, and supplemented Su Xiuyun and other computer professional artists.

In the future, there will be a large-scale arcade game production team, PC RPG games, shooting games, casual games and other categories, Yang Yun provides the general design ideas, and then hands over to his subordinates to handle specific matters.

After the meeting, Yang Yun left a few senior executives and said: "Time is urgent, don't say anything else, our company is goal-oriented, after I set the goal, I don't look at the process no matter what you do, I just want the result." Lao Zhao, the construction of a new factory is entrusted to you, whether you are acquiring other factories or building a new factory from scratch, I hope to be able to start production before December, can you do it? ”

There is still more than a month to go, which is a bit tight, but Zhao Yongping nodded and said solemnly: "No problem Mr. Yang!" ”

"Haode, Longteng now has more than 1.8 million yuan in the account, the orders at the Canton Fair will be settled soon, and there will be another batch of capital injections after a while, money is not a problem, we communicate in a timely manner during the acquisition process."

Yang Yun looked at Zhang Guoqiang again: "Guoqiang, don't count on the 11 R&D personnel recruited by Dabawang Company this time, I will recruit all of them and hand them over to Inoue's group." Your group,I'll provide two game plans.,In addition to the side-scrolling game.,I hope you can expand your thinking.,Make a full-width pattern game.,You realize the jishu first.,I'll fill in the content.。 ”

Zhang Guoqiang tilted his face and said with a look of grievance: "Mr. Yang, you must not favor one over the other, my grandfather, my father, and me, our whole family is a fan of the Three Kingdoms, you might as well let Ma Liang be in charge of the full-width scroll game, I can go to the Three Kingdoms Group to play......"

Yang Yun deliberately kept a straight face and blamed: "Nonsense! Where is the revolution not doing? The pony is younger than you, and it's just when you first arrive, and you haven't even figured out the door, so if you don't carry the heavy responsibility, who will? ”

Everyone bowed their heads and laughed secretly when they heard this, and they understood Zhang Guoqiang's mentality very well.

To do the Chinese's own Three Kingdoms game, especially to do the Three Kingdoms game under the command of Yang Yun, will definitely be a classic in the future, let your name appear in the production team, this is the supreme honor, if it is not for the professional restrictions, even Zhao Yongping wants to participate.

Yang Yun continued to arrange: "Inoue, it's still the old way, first crack the Three Kingdoms game of the glorious company, find a way to simulate the place where you can't get the source code, and replace it with other ways, you lead everyone to build the game framework first, and I will be responsible for filling in the content, and then hand it over to you for integration." ”

Inoue took over this important task solemnly, with a very sincere attitude, and said: "There are many game manufacturers in Japan that make Three Kingdoms games, and Namco's Three Kingdoms series is also quite famous, and I have already dealt with their planners, if we just want to refer to KOEI's game system, we can try to cooperate with Namco." ”

Is Inoue and Namco's planner in a relationship? Yang Yun's eyes lit up and nodded: "We'll talk about this later." Is there anything you don't know? If not, the meeting will be adjourned. ”

Zhao Yongping spoke, and he asked the most concerned question on behalf of everyone: "Mr. Yang, the failure of Chiyang's restructuring, what should I do with the 55 million order?" What kind of relationship do we maintain with Chiyang Electronics Factory in the future? ”

After thinking about it, Yang Yun decided not to hide it, and said solemnly: "After doing this order, you are a passerby." ”

In the negotiations the day before, Huang Beiyang finally compromised, Chiyang Electronics Factory will not be restructured, and the $55 million order can be made next year, Yang Yun will not limit the licensing contract provided to Chiyang, but it is limited to the four games of Circus, Saloman Snake, Rocket Car and Adventure Island.

The cooperation between Yang Yun and Huang Beiyang is likely to be only this short one-year period, neither of them will dismantle each other's Taiwan, and they must not use excuses to suppress or discredit each other, Huang Beiyang wants political achievements, and he can be promoted and transferred within a year, Yang Yun proposed a transfer fee of $5 per copy for a total of $6 million, which will be settled within one year.

Huang Beiyang was promoted, Yang Yun made a fortune, this is the final result of the negotiation between the two, and this is also the most haode result.

……

……

Yang Yun left Inoue Yanxiong and Matsumoto Yoshino, he really didn't expect that these two people would still have dealings with Namco, which was a big surprise.

"Inoue, in the Japanese game world, what is the relationship between Koei and Namco?"

"KOEI was established for a shorter time than Namco, KOEI is more like a personal game studio, established less than ten years ago, mainly professional historical simulation games, mature main products have Nobunaga's ambitions, and Namco does more miscellaneous things, and is a well-known game company with decades of production experience." ”

Yang Yun nodded, in 1983, Nobunaga's ambition made the game Koei a success, tasted the sweetness, and has been so professional, Koei has done very successfully, and Namco is because of the miscellaneous, but it has not made much achievements in game software, to engage in Gundam and Saint Seiya's game peripheral products, and finally had to merge with Bandai and reform Bandai Namco.

Yang Yun asked: "Is it understandable that after Namco made a hugely successful Three Kingdoms game, Glory is a work that follows the trend?" ”

Inoue shook his head: "The first to make the Three Kingdoms was KOEI, and after the great success of Nobunaga's ambition, they quickly launched the Three Kingdoms game, but the sales were not very good. Last year, Namco produced the first Three Kingdoms SLG strategy game on the Nintendo FC platform, Three Kingdoms - Central Plains Overlord, which was released in May last year, although it was expensive, but it was well received by players. KOEI came to its senses and launched the FC version in October last year, but because it was half a year late, sales were not as good as Namco's. ”

Yang Yun is clear, these two are mortal rivals, if you sing and I will appear, either you follow the trend, or the master and apprentice will fight, and they are in a state of stalemate.

According to the experience of his later life, Namco now seems to have the upper hand in sales, in fact, only the continent of the Three Kingdoms 2 Overlord has been well received in the follow-up, although it is classic, but it is not long, and it has no follow-up on the PC side, and its Three Kingdoms series cannot be passed down for a long time.

And the glory is different, the production is exquisite, more flowers, new versions are launched every three or five times, and there are more Nobunaga's ambitions, Three Kingdoms, Taiko Ambition, the Age of Discovery, Dynasty Warriors and other familiar classic games, and now it doesn't matter if they are suppressed by Namco, and when it comes to 90 years, the glory of the Three Kingdoms will break out, and the Three Kingdoms on the PC side is a reborn work!

Yang Yun likes this situation the most, the situation of the two powerhouses competing is much similar to the current competition between Nintendo and Sega, his heart is alive, fishing in troubled waters, and profiting from chaos, this is what he likes to do the most.

Yang Yun asked, "Inoue, what is your personal relationship with the designers of Namco?" ”

Inoue was a little embarrassed: "At Nintendo's carnival party in 1985, I had the pleasure of getting acquainted with Miss Akiko Kudo, who is Namco's game planner, very dedicated and very cute......"

"Haha......" Matsumoto Yoshino knew the story, couldn't help laughing, and gave Yang Yun a brief explanation, that is, Inoue Yanxiong's unrequited love, 4 years have passed and still haven't pursued it, this year came to China, when he was about to break his thoughts, he didn't expect that another village might have another chance.

A game planner is the soul of a game and holds the core idea of game development.

Yang Yun had a whim, if this woman could be poached, the R&D cycle could be greatly shortened: "Inoue, if I give you a certain amount of financial authority, can you let her come to China and join us in starting a business together?" ”

Inoue Yanxiong's mouth couldn't close in surprise, but he gradually smirked.
