Chapter 069 - Let the Japanese delegation have a toothache
The staff of the State Press and Publication Administration informed that Longteng Company was ready one day in advance.
Now Zhu Shuguang and his entourage came to Longteng Building and were warmly welcomed by all employees of the company.
Yang Yun warmly shook hands with Chinese officials and members of the Japanese delegation, and when it was the turn of the petite Akiko Kudo, Yang Yun made a point of complimenting her.
Meekness is an excellent quality that Japanese women will have, and in addition to being modest, Akiko Kudo also has an independent self-confidence and self-determination that are rare in Japanese women, which should be related to her work as the master planner of the Three Kingdoms game in Namco.
Entering the comfortable large conference room, taking advantage of the effort to arrange the seating, Zhu Shuguang summoned Yang Yun and said in a low voice: "Xiao Yang, the Japanese guests want to visit the most haode game industry manufacturer in my country, we went to Chiyang Electronics Factory in the morning, but that factory is too uncompetitive, I don't know if I ask this, I asked that and pushed it on you, I heard that Director Duan, who appeared with you at the Canton Fair, applied for sick retirement?" What the hell is going on with this Chiyang? ”
Duan Haisheng did apply for sick retirement, but it was not a big deal, Long Teng hired him as a consultant, the old man couldn't be idle at home at all, and now he had nothing to do in the field of Zhaozhuang on the edge of the Fourth Ring Road, pointing out the country, inspiring words, and saying that he would personally build a modern factory that was more advanced than Chiyang, according to Zhao Yongping, he had the demeanor of the chief designer.
However, Yang Yun didn't say much, so he could only say vaguely: "This is a bunch of bad things in the Light Industry Department, and I will talk to you in detail in the future." You may be seated! ”
The itinerary for visiting Longteng was simple, the Japanese came a total of five people, two officials, a business representative, an interpreter, and an embassy worker.
The official's question was very simple, asked about the development of the game console industry in Chinese mainland, asked about the scale of Longteng Company, and the answer seemed to disappoint them, so the head of the Game Industry Division of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, and Culture Yasuyama shook his head slightly, and he was not even interested in continuing to ask, and planned to go through the motions and errands.
But Akiko Kudo came with a purpose and asked, "Can we see your company's catalog?" ”
After the translator explained, Yang Yun replied briskly: "No problem, Huimin, show them the product catalog!" ”
Cooperate with the Japanese delegation and meet the other party's requirements as much as possible, this is a greeting from the staff in advance, saying that it is an order from above, and Yang Yun will certainly not violate the principle.
Akiko Kudo flipped through a booklet, and her expression gradually became solemn.
She didn't expect that Yang Yun would really provide a product catalog, and what she didn't expect was that this product catalog listed in detail seven or eight games that had been patented, and briefly introduced more than a dozen large-scale games that Longteng was developing.
The more I read this booklet, the more shocked I became, because in addition to the games with FC platform, there are also research projects on large arcade machines and PC software.
When she saw the words Gundam robot, her eyes almost went black, this is the core secret of Namco, she herself has only proposed to the president of the company, Namco has not established a project at all, let alone leaked it!
What kind of demon is this Longteng Entertainment Game Company?
The more I look at it, the more frightened I become, many of the games in these catalogs are well-known Japanese anime, as well as game adaptations of European and American comic movies, once Dragon Teng is authorized, the game software cartridge immediately becomes an excellent commodity, and it can be a big hit without too much publicity, Kudo Akiko finally understands what Inoue Yanxiong said, those comments on Yang Yun, it really doesn't seem to be an exaggeration!
The president of this Longteng company is indeed unpredictable, he is completely different from ordinary Chinese entrepreneurs, with advanced thinking, keen jumping, vicious vision, advanced ideas, and even more terrifying than many of their Japanese game producers!
Akiko Kudo's strange expression made the two officials also curious, and the two of them circulated the catalog booklet, also frowning, and bowed their heads to discuss something.
Zhu Shuguang noticed all this, gave Yang Yun a look, Yang Yun understood, personally took out another booklet, walked to Zhu Shuguang's side, and bowed his head in his ear to introduce: "Don't worry, there will be no leaks, 90% of this booklet is fake, scare a few of them......"
Zhu Shuguang looked through it carefully, saw several keywords of Japanese animation and American film copyright, and asked, "What's going on with these?" ”
Yang Yun whispered: "Anime, games, movies, in Japan and European and American countries, these three are generally combined marketing. Our brochures are full of unauthorized game designs, and in order to sell them publicly, we must get permission from the copyright owner. But you don't have to think about it to know that at this stage we can't get a license, because their Japanese game manufacturers will also be eyeing this, and they will also try to get a license. So these things are public information, to be precise, it's actually a design idea of ours, and it's not really implemented at all, and it's telling them that it's not that we don't want to do it, we can't do it, but the external environment doesn't allow it. ”
Only then did Zhu Shuguang understand that in the past two days, he had followed the Japanese delegation everywhere, except for Lenovo and Hope Software, which were quite capable of using the national enterprises, many of the companies he saw were old-fashioned, and there was a feeling of twilight, which really made him feel a lot of shame and embarrassed in front of the Japanese.
Now there is also an advanced company in the field of game production, which can have the first-class concept of Shijie, and can shock the Japanese, and finally save a little face.
Zhu Shuguang coughed twice and said loudly: "Longteng company is an enterprise we vigorously support, with the best programmers and game designers in China, the management level is in line with Shijie, and the design ideas are synchronized with the first-class, I believe that Longteng will become an excellent and famous game manufacturer in the world, just around the corner!" ”
The leaders of the Beijing Cultural Bureau on the side hurriedly echoed, closely following Zhu Shuguang's footsteps, and also expressed their support for the game industry, believing that vigorously developing the domestic game industry is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the Cultural Bureau will definitely support several leading enterprises to drive the rapid development of the entire industry.
The translator said it word for word to the Japanese, and now several people looked bad, uncertain, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.
It is obvious that Longteng Company has jishu, and what it has taken out has shocked the Japanese side, and their government officials have policies, and they have expressed strong support on the spot, and the government and enterprises have joined forces, so that these Japanese people with high vision have to pay attention to it.
Yasushi Nayama, head of the Game Industry Division, asked, "May I ask Mr. Yang, are you all making the games in these catalogs?" Can you get a license for a game adaptation such as Sunrise Co., Ltd.? ”
Sunrise is the copyright owner of Gundam and was founded by Osamu Tezuka and others, and Yuki Tomino is also a member of the studio and owns the copyright of Gundam.
Yang Yun did not show weakness: "May I ask who in Japan has obtained the game adaptation rights of Gundam now?" Namco? Bandai? Or Nintendo? Capcom? Who has obtained the authorization in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan? If not, can our Chinese Longteng Entertainment Game Company obtain the mainland copyright? I don't think it's hard to have a country to support us, right? Unless Sunrise is going to open a Gundam store in the capital by itself! ”
In Japan, Bandai is now the company that has been granted the rights to adapt the Gundam game, but Bandai's main business is anime merchandise, cards, and toys.
As for making video games, Bandai, which only entered this industry in 1980, is still mainly OEM, and most games even have to ask Capcom Konami and other foreign aid to help, so that they can make their own Gundam games, before 1989, only UC Gundam was developed, and SD Gundam has just been put on sale this year, and the sales volume can be imagined.
Due to the popularity of "Gundam Mobile Suit" and "Mobile Suit Z Gundam", in addition to Japanese professional game companies such as Namco Capcom, even China's Dragon Teng is eager to try, which makes Yasuya Nakayama, who is well aware of the situation of the Japanese game industry, sit on pins and needles.
Zhongshan An can't make a decision on behalf of Sunrise, and it is nonsense to let Sunrise open a Gundam store in the capital, and the Chinese market is even weaker for Japanese companies to be interested in at all, but there is a beast hidden in this weak market.
Although this beast is small and not strong enough, it has the support of the country and is full of stamina.
The most terrifying thing is that this beast has quite rich hunting skills, rich hunting tactics, and vicious eyes, as long as it is given enough time, it will definitely become a powerful male lion!
It was difficult to answer Yang Yun's aggressive question, so Zhongshan An could only deliberately avoid answering, changed the question, pointed to the manual and asked, "May I ask you to make a game of the Three Kingdoms too?" ”
Yang Yun smiled: "I know that there are also several Three Kingdoms games in Japan that have been selling well recently. However, China is the real birthplace of the Three Kingdoms culture, and it is strange that we develop and design the Three Kingdoms game ourselves? ”
Come on, I hit a wall again, Yasuya Nakayama looked at Akiko Kudo and found that she didn't mean to speak at all, and the Namco representative of the Three Kingdoms didn't speak, and as a government official, it was even more difficult for him to interfere.
Several questions in a row were very aggrieved, Nakayama became depressed, and several Japanese stopped talking.
The current scene is very embarrassing, the Japanese are most proud of the Gundam robot series is facing a change of copyright, domestic companies such as Namco Capcom and Sega are eyeing the tiger, and a Chinese are also ready to join, as the Japanese side, of course, do not want to see foreigners benefit.
Namco has made a game of Three Kingdoms that is popular all over the world, and now they Japanese have come to China, and they learn that the Chinese want to make a Three Kingdoms game that works against them, and they can't laugh at each other's inadequacy, and second, they can't congratulate each other on the big sale of the game, and they can only hold all kinds of grievances in their hearts, sullen, and can't say anything.
This product catalog booklet really made a few members of the Japanese delegation uncomfortable.
Zhu Shuguang saw with his own eyes that the Japanese were losing and retreating and had nothing to say, so he added with a smile at the right time: "Mr. Kobayashi, our game industry in China has just started, and many places have to learn from you, learn from you, and ask for your advice, this is the friendly exchange between China and Japan!" ”
Well, Yang Yun had just slashed the Japanese, and Zhu Shuguang followed by and sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound, which made Xiao Lin Zheng feel uncomfortable, and even his back molars began to ache faintly.
Refuse, I am still a guest, and to refuse the host's request is not to give the host face, agree, raise a tiger.
Kobayashi is pressing, Yasuya Nakayama can't speak, Akiko Kudo has nothing to say, and the embassy staff and interpreter keep their heads down and keep their mouths closed, and they don't know what they're thinking......
The Japanese delegation did not have the heart to continue to visit Longteng, so they casually coped with it for a while and then returned and left.
As for the code and game development schedule, think about it with your ass that Longteng will not be open to them, they have been angry enough, do they still stay in Longteng to touch a nose ash, touch a big moldy head, and continue to let the Chinese see jokes?
However, Akiko Kudo still accepted Yang Yun's invitation in private, and when she returned to the Beijing Hotel, a car quietly picked her up.
