Chapter 017: Sega, Thank You for Your Hard Work

went to CCTV to talk about advertising, or Zhao Yongping alone.

It is enough for Yang Yun to sow a seed, even without his reminder, Zhao Yongping will think of doing this advertisement in the future, it is just the difference between doing it early and doing it late.

Yang Yun now has more important things, he carries a cadre briefcase, gets into a personal taxi, and runs around the capital, along the way to the mountains of Gekan.

Half an hour later, Yang Yun came to the most prosperous Beijing Department Store, according to the brother, in the first half of this year, just added a toy and entertainment shopping mall in the Beijing Department Store, the business is called a hot ah, full of Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Japan all kinds of toys, the parents of the whole capital after the letter, are the whole family into battle, are crazy to buy.

At that time, Yang Yun had just been reborn and went to Chongshan City, so he didn't get to see the big scene of the opening.

Sure enough, on the famous commercial street of Wangfujing, there was a sea of people outside the door of the Beijing Department Store, Yang Yun immediately thought of People-Mountain-People-Sea, and finally squeezed in, followed the flow of people, and slowly moved to the newly opened entertainment mall, which has not been opened for half a year.

Looking at the shiny glass counters, the exquisite game console exhibits, the three color TVs running beating games, and the lively crowd full of people, Yang Yun sighed secretly: "Brother Sega, you have been fighting with Nintendo for so many years, it's really hard for you!" ”

I was afraid that there were dozens of people standing in the store, and Yang Yun couldn't squeeze in for a long time, so he had to stand on tiptoe and wave to a salesman who had placed an order.

The little girl stood at the counter, Yang Yun stood outside the crowd, more than two meters away, close as if thousands of miles away, the people watching the game around cheered one after another, and the ears were full of loud voices of the gentlemen in the capital, and the two basically relied on roaring to speak.

"Girl! Is your boss here? ”

"What? Boss? Not there! What are you going to buy, sir? ”

"I don't buy anything! I'm looking for your boss! Could you please bring him a message that Nintendo's enemies are coming! ”

"What? What enemy? ”

"Ren! Sky! Hall! Target! Enemy! Person! Call your boss! ”

Yang Yun roared heartbreakingly, cleared his throat twice, and watched the little girl run back to ask the leader.

Soon an older one, still a Chinese, tried to squeeze out the crowd, and Yang Yun came to a corner with a little less people, and after standing, the two rubbed their shoulders, and only then walked less than ten meters away, and were hit several times.

Yang Yun got straight to the point: "I am a game developer in China, and I want to talk to your boss, please help contact me." If you're not interested, I'll go to Nintendo. ”

Hearing Nintendo's name, where does the leader dare to delay? In the Beijing Department Store, Nintendo also has a counter, the two are old and dead, Sega and Nintendo have been working against each other for many years, you live and die, even the locally hired employees meet as if they saw the enemy who killed their father, and it is called corporate culture.

The enemy of the enemy is my friend, so Yang Yun was respectfully invited out, got into a taxi, and came to an ordinary small building.

The headquarters of Sega's China branch is here, and it looks shabby, but Yang Yun didn't care, he came to find someone to endorse it, he didn't care what it looked like, and it was useless to live in the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, as long as it was the name Sega.

The person in charge of the company, Yongye, was the receptionist, and he only said a few words after taking a look, and hurriedly invited Yang Yun to take a seat.

As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one.

Yang Yun stared at the female secretary's hand pouring tea, didn't move his eyelids, and said, "Nagano-kun, I heard that your Mega-Drive is selling well in North America?" ”

Nagano calmly corrected: "The North American version is called Genesis, and Mr. Yang is quite well-informed!" ”

Yang Yun's eyebrows moved: "The world's first 16-bit game console, priced at $228, I heard that in less than half a year, 2 million units were sold?" ”

The translation did not miss a word, and Nagano was finally moved: "Mr. Yang, there is an old saying in Chinese, open the skylight and say bright words. ”

Yang Yun finally raised his head and said with a smile: "GameBoy is about to be launched, when is Sega's Game-Gear ready to be launched?" Looks like you're once again behind Nintendo! ”

Nagano was almost shocked, he hurriedly wiped the sweat from his forehead, apologized for his retirement, and came to the reception room.

He instructed the front desk just now, and in just a few minutes, he also found out a lot of Yang Yun's information.

Entering the arena again, this time Nagano respectfully raised a small teacup and signaled: "A cup to Mr. Yang!" ”

Yang Yun drank it dry in one gulp, the teacup was too small to quench his thirst.

Nagano squinted his eyes: "In the past two months, there have been some 'fresh' cassettes on the market, and the two games on it are quite 'amazing', they are all from Mr. Yang's hand, admire, admire!" ”

Yang Yun smiled: "What does Nagano-kun think of Tetris?" Interested in porting it to your Sega 8-bit or 16-bit game cards? ”

Nagano didn't answer positively, and asked: "Mr. Yang said just now that Nintendo is talking about the copyright of Tetris, can you reveal a little about this matter?" ”

Yang Yun nodded: "Nintendo offered a one-time buyout of $100,000, and we refused." ”

The muscles on Nagano's face moved slightly, this price can only be quoted by Nintendo, this is not even the price of cabbage, this is the price of tap water, it is simply shameless.

Yang Yun continued: "The $100,000 buyout price is a slap in the face. Since Nintendo has no sincerity at all, then I have to come to his old enemy, Nagano-kun, you say? ”

Daiki Nagano: "Of course you're welcome!" I wonder what Mr. Yang's request is? ”

Yang Yun: "What we asked him for was $5 a copy. ”

Nagano almost fainted, the price of 5 US dollars, this price can not be accepted by anyone, it seems that this Mr. Yang is the same as Nintendo, he is the master of the lion's mouth, and this Mr. Yang is also very shameless!

Seeing that Yongye's face was not good, Yang Yun smiled slightly: "Sega's side, I can call the shots, and lower it a little." You have two options, one is a copy of $2, and the other is a share of sales, $0.7 for up to 1 million copies, $1.5 for 100-10 million copies, and $2.5 for more than 10 million copies. ”

The price quoted by Yang Yun must be something that Sega cannot afford.

Sega and Nintendo have been fighting for all these years and have been at a disadvantage, Genesis has only sold more than 20 million units in North America in total, not even one-fifth of Nintendo, these two plans, for Sega, is not easy.

Anyway, under the guise of letting Sega endorse it, it's okay to report the high point, Yang Yun drank tea leisurely.

Nagano quickly calculated the price, they had already reached the sales volume of 1 million, and it must be no problem within 10 million, so that the patent fee was between 1.5 million and 15 million US dollars, and once it exceeded 10 million copies, all the extra ones were calculated at 2.5 US dollars, which was unimaginable.

Looking at Yang Yun's indifferent appearance, Yongye suddenly shuddered: "Could it be that this person wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf?" How dare he guarantee to sell 1 million, 10 million copies? If we buy a patent at a high price and only sell 100,000 copies, this person will also receive $70,000, which is a lot of money in China! ”

Yang Yun seemed to see something, and said lightly: "My partner is a Soviet, and he is the owner of the international patent, so this game is called Tetris, not China." I'm just an agent, Nagano-kun, do you understand? ”

Pulling the tiger skin of the Soviets as a banner, this is the only way to look international, and there will be an equal opportunity to negotiate with the Japanese, Yang Yun has been cooperating with Alexey from the beginning, and this is the idea!

Nagano didn't dare to answer casually, the information he obtained was too little, so he could only ask tentatively: "If Sega signs the transfer agreement, can Mr. Yang guarantee it...... Exclusive? ”

Yang Yun patted his head: "Hey, I just have a headache!" Nintendo's opponent is too strong to offend it, but it will cost you a lot of money, and you must have the determination to break the boat! ”

Nagano was dumbfounded.

Is this the art of Chinese speaking?
