After listening to Yang Yun's explanation, Hayakuo Nakayama breathed a sigh of relief: "If it's just to defeat Enix and unify the RPG game market, the easiest way is to go to Koichi Nakamura that I just mentioned." Because I know what he's up to, and if I pry him, I'm going to make it hard for Enix! ”

Koichi Nakamura, who founded ChunSoft Games under his own name at the age of 19, later became an important core figure in the Enix development team.

Dragon Quest games are not developed by Enix himself, but by ChunSoft's team, and Enix is just a release.

It's an interesting company, originally Hiroshi Naito and the Takahashi brothers, both ChunSoft employees, all working under Koichi Nakamura, and strictly speaking with Enix was just a partnership.

The Dragon Quest script was written by Yuji Horii of Enix and commissioned by Koichi Nakamura's team to develop it, which should be a typical Japanese way of working together on projects.

Those who do game coding do coding, honestly, diligently.

If you do game planning, you can do it, they don't even have to be software jishu personnel, they just need to know what games are popular, for example, Yuji Horii himself was a manga artist, and then turned into a game designer.

After these two companies made Dragon Quest, the game was a huge success and was hailed as a national RPG, at this time, Naito Kan couldn't sit still, his ambition became bigger, he was no longer satisfied with simple game production, he wanted to be the one who stood at the top. Accept everyone's cheers and attract everyone's eyes.

So Naito instigated the Takahashi brothers to jump ship. Together, the trio founded Climax.

There were many people who held the same view, during that time. Dragon Quest's original team has passed through a number of designers.

Hayao Nakayama brought Yang Yun to Koichi Nakamura, because he knew that the maker of Dragon Quest was still this ChunSoft, and if he left Koichi Nakamura, Enix would definitely be in a huge predicament, and if he couldn't even make a follow-up version, how could he maintain his transcendent status?

"Working with Sega?" Koichi Nakamura frowned, his heart churning.

Now there is a saying circulating in the gaming world, which is being spread privately by a considerable number of practitioners: "If Sega finds you." Rejoice, because you're worth the investment. Because if you refuse them, you'd better pray, you'll definitely be hit, and hopefully you won't die miserably! ”

This death, as many people know, alludes to Yoshiki Okamoto's death, although everyone knows that it is a joke, but it also illustrates one thing. Whoever competes with Sega may be in bad luck!

Hayao Nakayama smiled, "President Nakamura, cooperating with Sega should be able to increase your sales a lot." The DQ4 was released on FC in the first half of last year. The results are not very good, only more than 2 million sales, is it a big disappointment? ”

Only more than 2 million!

Yang Yun couldn't stop laughing in his heart. How many games does Sega have that are million-level?

In addition to Contra made by Longteng, Pokemon games have millions of sales. What about the others? Sega original, except for the Dragon. Which one has millions?

For this, Nakamura Koichi could only laugh dryly, but no longer answered.

Seeing that the scene was a little cold, Yang Yun changed his method and asked, "Why don't you listen to our suggestions?" The news of Falcom's joint venture with us must have been heard by President Nakamura. In my opinion, arcade games, video games, handhelds, PC games, are all excellent carriers for games. With the development of computer technology, electronic components are getting cheaper and cheaper, and computers are becoming more and more popular, and PC games will occupy a considerable proportion of the game industry in the future. Didn't President Nakamura have the idea of developing into PC games? ”

Hayao Nakayama then persuaded: "Pharaoh Control is willing to port PC games to the MD platform and enter the video game market for a piece of the pie, is ChunSoft unwilling to change its thinking, unwilling to leave an extra path for itself, and focus on developing only on video games?" ”

Koichi Nakamura said in embarrassment: "We are working on a version of SFC, and there is really nothing we can do to distract ourselves from doing other things, so you don't need to persuade me." ”

Yang Yun asked, "Is it because of the treaty of Enix?" ”

Koichi Nakamura smiled bitterly and said, "Why does President Yang knowingly ask? ”

Yang Yun laughed: "What if Enix lets go?" Would President Nakamura be willing to work with Sega? ”

Koichi Nakamura dodged: "I'm just the developer of DQ, and the decision is not in my hands!" ”

Soft eggs!

Yang Yun lost interest in continuing to talk, this Koichi Nakamura really didn't have the guts, he only knew how to use Enix as a shield.

If it weren't for his soft personality, how could the DQ R&D team lose so many designers? can't retain people, not because his platform is not good, let alone because his team has no future, but because everyone has not gained enough benefits!

As the actual development team of Dragon Quest, it is very likely that there will be little to gain in this RPG feast!

After leaving ChunSoft Company, Yang Yun sneered: "Next, you still have to continue to contact them, give enough benefits, and gradually increase them until he is tempted." Even if he has something to hide, we have to harass them so much that they don't want to work. Nakamura Koi is uncompromising, so go and poach other programmers, make him the commander of the light pole, and see how he makes games for SFC! Well, let Naito Kan do this, I believe, he must be a good digger! ”

Hayao Nakayama understood and agreed: "Naito Kan, I also think he is more suitable for personnel work, he himself is a person from ChunSoft, and he is very familiar with the employees inside, I think he will like this!" ”

Since you can't dig up the design team of Dragon Quest, let's talk directly with the distribution company Enix!

The bosses of the two super large companies have traveled to many companies along the way, which is completely a modern version of the past Su Qin Six Kingdoms Tour!

Among the two options of acquisition and independent research and development, there is no doubt that acquisition is the easiest, throwing two dollars, watching those competitors crawl over and kneel to add, that feeling is the most haode.

But the objects to be acquired are not idiots, the enemy army is overwhelming, running to their homes to kill, burn and loot, not only do they not resist, but also obediently send the most precious treasure and the most beautiful woman?

Enix is not a pure game production company, they have a wide range of businesses and industries, and games are only one part of it.

The person who received Yang Yun and Hayao Nakayama was none other than Yuji Horii, the current section chief of the game department.

This editor-turned-business leader has a desire to control everything, and most importantly, he is doing a good job and succeeding!

This is a tough battle, and neither side dares to take it lightly.

As the host, Yuji Horii showed enough respect: "Welcome to the two presidents!" This is the greatest glory of the Enix Game Department! ”

Hayao Nakayama smiled: "Section Chief Horii has also worked hard!" ”

Why did these two people come, Yuji Horii knew in his heart, he simply took the initiative to say: "I know that there has been no RPG game on the MD platform, and the latest Dragon Quest 4 has not caught up with SFC, are you here for Dragon Quest?" ”

Hayao Nakayama daxiao: "The head of the Horii section is really direct, then we won't hide it." If Enix is willing to port the Dragon Quest series license to the MD platform, we are willing to give Enix a place in LongFalcom. ”

Yang Yun followed and persuaded: "This is also good for Dragon Quest to enter the PC market in the future!" Even in a few years, the GameGear platform will be available to Enix. ”

Yuji Horii shook his head and said, "I'm sorry two presidents, it's not that we Enix are unwilling, but Nintendo's exclusive contract, so we really can't do this." ”

Yang Yun smiled faintly: "In Nintendo's new quality management system, there is no similar exclusive treaty, and we have added a number of game suppliers from Nintendo's camp on the Sega platform, could it be that Enix is different from these companies?" Is Nintendo discriminatory? ”

Yuji Horii looked depressed: "That's it! The year before last, Nintendo promoted us to a core supplier, in addition to exempting the software copy fee, there are also preferential policies such as no limit on the number of games and no production costs. But the premise is that the game is exclusive and cannot be ported to other platforms, not only the Sega platform, but also the PC side, we have long been interested in getting involved, but unfortunately the conditions are limited, and we are powerless! ”

It's a nice thing to say, it seems that every sentence is a last resort, Nintendo restricts, Nintendo does not allow it, Nintendo refuses!

Hum! Yang Yun is not a core supplier of Nintendo, of course he can't know Nintendo's internal treaty, Yuji Horii said so, then treat it as such!

Now is the time of the Warring States turmoil, and even Nintendo is losing in the attack of Sega, Enix is obviously unwilling, where can't it?

Yang Yun said meaningfully: "The outside world has always rumored how domineering our Sega is, but things are not like that at all. Today, we came to discuss the transplantation of DQ with Mr. Horii, and we took the initiative to seek cooperation. But it seems that there is no possibility for our two companies to cooperate at all? In that case, then we don't have to talk, let's go......"

Yuji Horii was dripping in a cold sweat when he heard it, and he heard a strong sense of threat.

If you want to fool Yang Yun casually, it's not that easy!

"Please...... Wait a minute......" Yuji Horii couldn't bear the pressure and gave in.
