As a negotiator who does not play cards according to common sense, Alexei is very serious on the surface, shaking his head to indicate that he is not joking, but in fact he scolded Yang Yun in his heart.

Just yesterday, after talking with Sega, Yang Yun stopped Alexei and said: "Go to negotiate tomorrow, if Nintendo agrees to the joint venture, you don't have to agree immediately." Instead, keep asking them to give you the Legend of Zelda and Contra as a pairing. ”

"Hitch...... Hit the head? Alexey didn't understand what it meant.

"Yes, to put it simply, it's one get two free, Tetris for Super Mario, Nintendo will give Zelda for free, and Contra will be two!"

Alexei died on the spot, and he almost fainted when he looked at Yang Yun.

How ruthless must this be? What does Nintendo rely on? It's Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda, and now even the two core games of others have been dug up, which is too ruthless, right?

And Contra, it seems to be Konami Corporation, right? This is not a Nintendo game, they can also send?

"Whether it can be their business or not, whether it is mentioned or not is our business. It's Christmas Advance Sale! It must be one for three, and we must not suffer! Yang Yun laughed, his teeth white, pointed, and flashing with a ghostly light......

Thinking of this ghostly light, Yang Yun's expression was like that of a hungry wolf, and Alexei couldn't help but shudder.

He tightened his face and said quite seriously, "Mr. Arakawa, I'm not joking, and you heard it right. KTT has agreed to establish a joint venture with Nintendo to create a third-party company to jointly operate the two games, Super Mario and Tetris, and in order to compensate KTT for some losses, we ask Nintendo to transfer the full copyright of the two games The Legend of Zelda and Contra free of charge! ”

"Baga Crush!" Minoru Arakawa roared, "You've gone too far! ”

Alexey stood up, he was close to 1.9 meters tall, stood up like a mountain, and said solemnly: "This is the fairest trade!" Maybe I should consider meeting EA, or Sega! ”

……

……

"The price is all over the place, pay it back on the spot~" Yang Yun crossed Erlang's legs, trimmed his nails with a Swiss army knife, and from time to time picked up the pure Colombian coffee in his hand, took a sip, and closed his eyes to enjoy it.

Alexei still has lingering palpitations, he may have really offended Nintendo this time.

At first, he made an unreasonable request, and forced people to agree, but he temporarily reversed it, and the lion opened his mouth and made an unreasonable request again, no wonder Arakawa Minoru smashed the water glass in front of him, almost smashing the office door.

This kind of negotiation technique is really like a rogue behavior, zuihou also said threatening words to meet with EA Sega, does Nintendo really eat this set? It won't backfire, right......

Yang Yun chuckled, "Easy, Easy!" If Arakawa is angry, he will lose his correct judgment, and we will have a chance. You can rest assured, Nintendo will not miss us, without us, his loss will be even greater, and irreversible. ”

Alexei shook his head in disbelief: "Yang, if I were your competitor and you treated me like this, I would definitely smash the water glass in your face, and never return to the negotiating table." ”

Yang Yun hahadaxiao: "So you should be glad to be on my side!" ”

Alexei worried: "Weishenme you will be so confident? Nintendo is no fool! ”

Yang Yun asked: "Empathy, if you are Yamauchiura, if you are quite interested in a game of haode, but the software company wants to raise the price to make more money, will you be reluctant to give money and refuse, let the software company turn around and go to the competitor's side, or will you meet the requirements of the software company?" ”

Alexei thought for a moment: "I will calculate the pay and return of the two results, and if the effort exceeds my bottom line in order to meet the requirements of the software vendor, I would rather give up." ”

Yang Yun snapped his fingers and agreed: "Yes! This is a rational way of thinking, as long as the person is rational, they will choose this way, and Yamauchiura is the most rational person. And after rational calculation, it is the bottom line that determines action. As long as we grasp Nintendo's bottom line, Weishenme doesn't get close to it to the maximum extent and strive for more benefits for ourselves? ”

Alexei was puzzled: "But you're not Yamauchi Pu, how do you know what their bottom line is?" And what you said is based on the premise that Yamauchi is optimistic about Tetris' prospects, how do you know that he is quite bullish? ”

Yang Yun smiled: "I don't know, so I'm testing little by little." I told you yesterday that if Nintendo agrees to a joint venture, you will ask for it again. Sure enough, Nintendo agreed, and proposed a third-party evaluation to calculate the equity distribution. Then I roughly guessed what Yamauchiura really thought, he was reluctant to give up Super Mario, and he was reluctant to Tetris, he had to grab both hands, and both hands were hard, he wanted to take advantage of it, he didn't want to suffer a little loss, his bottom line was: let out part of the benefits, but definitely not lose control. ”

"And you make two demands, 50% equity is the first, The Legend of Zelda and Contra are the second. The Legend of Zelda is a puzzle game made the year before last, that is, in 1987, and it was also produced by Shigeru Miyamoto, and together with Super Mario, it is called the two cornerstones of Nintendo. And Contra, which is a game by Konami, was also launched in 1987. Now that I'm asking Yamauchiura to buy one get two free, what do you think he's going to think? ”

Alexei asked uncertainly: "Rejected you?" ”

Yang Yun nodded and smiled: "That's right!" Yamauchiura will definitely reject me. The Legend of Zelda is absolutely impossible to give to me, in fact, I don't really want the Legend of Zelda, it's just a cover for me to put out. But since Yamauchi is willing to divest even Super Mario, this old guy may propose to let Zelda Legend also share it, and then take control of the joint venture, which is no different from annexing our KTT. So, if he proposes this kind of plan, you refuse, insisting that only Super Mario is 50% on both sides. ”

"OK, I understand, the legend of Zelda is your companion who dangled a shot and created psychological pressure on Yamauchi Pu, and deliberately left them to pay back the money on the spot. But what about Contra? ”

Yang Yun closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said: "Contra is Konami's game, Yamauchiura will not use it as a bargaining chip, he will definitely find a way to take it from Konami, and then give it to me as a small gift for him to show his sincerity." ”

Before the matter was decided, Yang Yun was very tight-mouthed, and even Alexey would not tell him, and no one knew what Yang Yun's true intentions were.

In this negotiation, Yang Yun hollowed out a lot of thoughts, tossed around, tossed a few rounds, in addition to sharing Super Mario and taking the opportunity to enter the game peripheral industry, he also had to inch inch, and asked for two games at one time.

Nintendo won't know, the Legend of Zelda is just a cover, and Yang Yun's real goal is actually Contra!

If he hadn't taken advantage of this opportunity to get Contra for free while Nintendo was in crisis, I'm afraid he would have missed it forever!

Long Teng has already robbed Konami's Salama Snake, if you don't grab Contra in this way, Konami will not be able to sell it to Long Teng, no matter how much money you spend, because the two are mortal enemies!

"Let's have a game of intrigue!" Yang Yun was highly motivated.

……

……

Minoru Arakawa has never been so irritable, and even in the most difficult times in the early days of his business, he will tenaciously tell himself that he will overcome the difficulties.

But the truth is not as he wants.

Howard has already left for New York State, the Federal Trade Commission has moved seriously this time, the pressure has never been greater, and yesterday just held a press conference, and today there is a one-sided phenomenon in public opinion.

"We didn't do anything wrong! In the past three and a half years, all we have done is to single-handedly drag this half-dead industry back from the abyss. It's us who saved the home video game industry! ”

That's what the arrogant Nintendo press officer said, and the fact that he was able to brand himself as a savior after receiving a subpoena from a federal court, made the FTC and the mainstream media that supported them even angrier.

Nintendo's vicinity was full of media coverage vehicles, and every employee who entered and exited would be surrounded by reporters, especially company executives, who would not have been able to move an inch if it weren't for the security guards.

"If you didn't do anything wrong? Then weishenmeFTC will complain about you? ”

"As a large international company, where is Nintendo's social credibility? Have you ever taken the interests of consumers seriously? ”

"What do you think of Senator Thomas's accusations that you present yourself as God and an insult to the American people?"

The Associated Press, AOL, The Washington Post, ABC, NBC, and dozens of influential media outlets were all present, and the long guns and short guns were aimed at Nintendo, which was on the cusp of the storm.

In addition, many employees of bankrupt game console companies in the United States, together with radical young people in society, pulled up banners and shouted slogans such as Nintendo's exit from the United States and vigilance against the Japanese invasion, and marched and demonstrated again and again in front of Nintendo.

What a bunch of junks these press officers are!

Arakawa Minoru was anxious, thinking hatefully, there was a conference call at night, and he decided to throw all this rotten burden to Yamauchi Pu!

But once again, the conference call was a mess.

Shigeru Miyamoto couldn't believe his ears, he had already been deeply hurt once when Yamauchi agreed to share Super Mario, and now the other party actually proposed to add a Legend of Zelda, which would kill him!

The two children created by himself have been painstakingly managed for a few years, watching them grow up little by little, and now they have to share with another company, as if they are forced to marry a woman they don't love, and they have to call their two favorite children other people's mothers.

Shigeru Miyamoto would rather be single with a child, no matter how hard and tired he is, he has to raise it by himself.

But Yamauchi Pu did not treat the child as a child, but as a commodity that could be exchanged, and the goods with a clear price were marked, which made Miyamoto Shigeru very cold.

However, Yamauchi Pu didn't have to care about other people's thoughts, and after pondering, he said: "The Legend of Zelda can't do it, Contra, you find a way to get it and transfer it to KTT!" ”

Gunpei Yokoi was silent, Minoru Arakawa was silent, Shigeru Miyamoto was silent, and Deputy Director of the Legal Department Nobu Ohiro said in embarrassment, "Mr. President, this is a product of Konami ......"

"I know! Give them a 5% reduction in management fees, and in the intellectual property rights of the disk system, we have reduced it by 10 percentage points, accounting for only 40%! Yamauchi said.

Nobitabu is ready to fight: "Are we going to discuss ...... with Konami?"

"What did you say?" Yamauchi roared: "You can't do this little thing? Do you think you should refuse Contra and send out The Legend of Zelda? ”

Daxiongxin's scolded dog was bloody, and he didn't dare to say anything more.

Gunhei Yokoi plucked up his courage and said, "Mr. President, shooter games should not be removed from the Nintendo platform, I think KTT's request is too much, should we think of other ways?" ”

Yamauchi Pu rarely didn't scold him, but asked coldly: "If you don't mind working overtime continuously before the Christmas promotion and the New Year, I agree that you will slowly discuss other solutions!" ”

Everyone shut up, no one wants to work overtime every day for a month before the year, for them, time is their worst enemy, and if it drags on, it will be their Nintendo, not KTT.

Besides, this is a decision made by Yamauchi Pu, and even if something happens in the future, it will definitely not be blamed on their staff.

The task of negotiating with Konami fell to Nobu Onobi.

Let Konami do it!
