Chapter 079: Sales Channels with Global Coverage

During the lunch break, Yang Yun finally got off the stage and gave up the position of judge to a senior clerk.

Donnie ordered takeout and set aside a separate room for Alexei and Yang Yun to enjoy the food.

Yang Yun picked up a piece of classic pizza and chewed it slowly, and said: "From your anxious expression, you can guess that Nintendo still has no news." ”

Alexei nodded, worried: "Will they refuse?" ”

"No!" Yang Yun is sure: "Konami has to sort out the copyright, the documents have to be sent to the United States for signing, and Nintendo has to deal with the federal court charges, all these preparations will take time, so we don't have to worry, maybe there will be news in the next few days." Don't forget, Sega's Pitt is secretly working hard, he has united a number of American companies, united with friends in politics, together to put pressure on the Federal Trade Commission, and secretly organized a group of people to march in front of Nintendo. All this pressure is ultimately put on Nintendo, so Nintendo will definitely not wait to reach a deal with you, he is more anxious than you. ”

"Weishenme: They can't wait?"

"Because of antitrust! Stripping away the two core games, Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda, and taking them out to work with you, an American company, will be of great help to Nintendo's rapprochement with the Federal Trade Commission! Unless they are ready to give up the North American market, they will definitely cooperate with us! ”

In real history, in order to obtain court forgiveness, Nintendo had to cooperate with a number of American counterparts to authorize the game development kit of the SFC Super Ren and GameBoy platforms, leaving an unequal amount of access quota for American game software companies, and these preferential conditions have always been the private land of Japanese manufacturers, and even large companies like EA cannot easily get Nintendo's authorization.

So Yang Yun saw this opportunity and slashed Nintendo fiercely, next time there will be such a haode thing, I don't know what year and month it is.

Alexey saw Yang Yun's calm and steady appearance, and finally relaxed a little.

However, Yang Yun's next sentence made him almost jump up: "Even if you really refuse, we happen to cooperate with Sega EA, and I haven't visited EA Labs yet!" ”

Collapsed again......

At least $50 million in cooperation, if you give up, you will give up, such a big deal, Alexey can't do it.

Yang Yun smiled: "Just kidding, I don't want to give Tetris to Sega!" By the way, how many dollars do I have on my personal account now? ”

Isn't this playing with people!

Alexei wanted to cry, tried to calm himself, and said: "1.05 million US dollars, I also have 250,000 yuan, I will lend you if you need it." ”

Yang Yun patted his arm: "No need, in cooperation with Parker, I still use my own private property." ”

The card game must be mastered by itself, and even the Parker brothers can't take the lion's share, otherwise how will we implement the marketing strategy of selling the Three Kingdoms and bundling the Three Kingdoms in the future?

Alexey shrugged: "Yang, you're such a business genius, Downey Toy Store has already sold for $1 million, right?" How much can I give you? ”

Yang Yun hahadaxiao: "The 1 million in addition to various costs, George is willing to give me 250,000, but I am ready to invest in the new card factory, plus the 1.05 million, I can control 65%." ”

Alex served: "Let the Parker brothers be your distributor, and your Longteng company will immediately have a global sales channel for game toys!" Yang, you are such a natural businessman! ”

Yang Yun smiled: "Thank you for the compliment!" ”

……

……

Minoru Arakawa came to New York for the third time, and he hated the city quite a bit now, but even if he crossed the entire continent, he had to come, his head was getting more and more headaches these days, and if he didn't get KTT done, I'm afraid he would have to be admitted to the hospital to recuperate.

Alexei received him, still with a lukewarm expression, not saying a word, waiting for Minoru Arakawa to take the initiative to speak.

"Mr. Pagetrov, will you make any new demands this time?"

The words were full of anger and disgust, but there was a faint message that Nintendo had given in!

Alexei suppressed his excitement and said lightly: "As long as Nintendo is willing to transfer the Legend of Zelda and Contra, we will not make new requests." ”

Minoru Arakawa tried to restrain his anger: "We won't transfer the Legend of Zelda. This is Contra's authorization agreement, this is our Zuihou's bottom line! ”

"Okay, then let's talk about cooperation, one and a half, 50% each, how about the new company registered in New York? It's a big city bigger than Seattle Raymond, and I've even got an office! But for the sake of fairness, how about we hire Pricewaterhouse International Accounting Firm to settle in? Come-on! We're already the most haode partner, don't put on a poker face, okay? The sooner you start business, the sooner Nintendo will get the understanding of the Federal Trade Commission......"

When he saw it, he accepted it, Alexei instantly changed to a smiling face, and regarded himself as the master, and took it down with a big grin.

This negotiation was really easy and perfect, and it was exactly what Yang Yun expected!

What else can Minoru Arakawa say? KTT has even arranged the aftermath, which can only show that this is a haode thing that KTT has long anticipated, and they are robbing while the fire is burning!

But knowing that the other party has bad intentions and takes advantage of the fire to rob, what can Nintendo do?

Minoru Arakawa could only work hard to let the new company be set under his nose, and under the pretext that Seattle Raymond had developed transportation and facilitated the shipping of Japanese products, he won over the inconsequential condition of the company's location, which could be regarded as saving a little face.

This is an unprecedented shame in Nintendo's history!

Minoru Arakawa endured his physical discomfort, exchanged preliminary opinions on cooperation with Alexey, and set an official signing date, just three days later!

After Minoru Arakawa left, Alexei couldn't believe what had happened.

What seemed to him to be basically impossible to happen, it was actually completed little by little under Yang Yun's remote command!

Although he himself feels that Tetris and Super Mario are almost completely equivalent games, there is no meaning of exchange and sharing at all, and the game Contra is not selling well on the Nintendo 8-bit FC platform, compared with Tetris Super Mario, it is not a level game at all, even if he becomes his own and gets his hands, he doesn't feel that he has taken much advantage.

But this incident, at least made Nintendo bow its head, and as Yang Yun said, KTT took the opportunity to enter the animation game toy peripheral industry, no matter how to put it, it was a slight gain!

"Yang! You did it! ”

"We did it!"

"That's right! I did it! I brought Nintendo to its knees! ”

"Alexey, it seems that you are not lightly ill, I did it! xiexie! ”

The two of them were in the KTT office, excitedly speaking, you punched, I slapped, and the penetrating screams made the employees working outside also enthusiastic, spreading the news to each other: KTT is going to officially cooperate with Nintendo!

After beating the landlord, the next step is, of course, to divide the land.

Yang Yun said, "Help me arrange a meeting with EA and let me attend as your senior advisor." ”

Alexei hahadaxiao: "Yang! I've seen through this trick, Sega is destined to be an unlucky guy to be tied up again, right? You've played this trick in the capital, and you didn't even consider Sega in Jihua! ”

Yang Yun laughed mysteriously, and said to Lu Meng in the Three Kingdoms Killing: "I was really ...... See through it? ”

……

……

EA, Electronic Arts, and Larry Probst, president of EA, RECEIVED A CALL FROM ALEXEL, and the two sides happily agreed to meet at EA headquarters at 2 p.m. tomorrow.

Hanging up the phone, Alexei put on his coat, stood up and said: "Hurry up and prepare, this time it is our turn to travel through the whole of America, it will be a long journey." ”

EA is headquartered in San Mateo, a small town next to San Francisco, California, between San Francisco and Silicon Valley, 4,000 kilometers from New York, and five or six hours by plane.

Yang Yun thought for a while and said, "Why don't you let Fujita Qi go with us?" There are some things that are more convenient to talk about together. ”

It's easy to ask Fujita, and Sega is also on pins and needles these days, full of anticipation for KTT negotiations, and hope and fear coexist.

Hearing Alexey's call, Fujita Qi and Pete immediately rushed over, ready to accept this worrying result.

Yang Yun did not disclose any information about the outcome of the negotiations, but asked, "What is the relationship between Sega and EA?" I need a clear answer. To use a Chinese proverb, I'm afraid of accidentally hurting my teammates. Let's be honest, we're getting ready to book two flights to San Francisco. ”

This problem, after the first negotiation with Nintendo, when Yang Yun asked Fujita Qi for help, he was keenly discovered.

At the beginning, Yang Yun proposed who should pay for the millions of dollars, Fujita Qi pretended to be stupid, and Pete said that he couldn't help.

Then Yang Yun flickered and said that EA agreed, so Fujita's expression changed greatly, and he immediately said that he would ask the headquarters for instructions.

Yang Yun vaguely felt that Sega seemed to be quite jealous of EA, and there must be something hidden in it that he didn't know, so he didn't disclose the results of Nintendo's negotiations, but proposed to go to San Francisco to meet EA in front of Fujita Qi, he must know weishenme!

Sure enough, Fujita Qi's expression changed greatly, although he tried to restrain himself, but the collapsed blood vessels on his neck, his slightly trembling body, and his desperate expression made Yang Yun understand one thing, Sega didn't want to see EA grow up, EA was a great threat to them!

Yang Yun waited quietly, and Alexei and Pete were thoughtful.

Fujita Qi finally recovered and said, "It's not a secret anymore, and it doesn't hurt to say it." EA intends to enter the video game console industry, and has already approached a number of hardware manufacturers this year, and is even preparing to buy the Atari production line. ”

Yang Yun was surprised: "Atari is a bankrupt company, does EA want to pull it back from hell?" Others don't know, don't you Sega know how much money you have to burn to make hardware and platforms? How many years has EA been around? Six years, or seven years? Wouldn't they be too self-conscious? ”

Fujita Qi shook his head: "Do you know, EA is preparing to go public, and has found an investor to join forces to acquire the Atari production line, and this investor is Warner." ”

Hiss......

Yang Yun was also shocked, what does Warner mean? When Atari went bankrupt, Warner sold it, and now it is working with EA to re-acquire Atari?

Could it be that I didn't run it well, found a master like EA, and then revived the rhythm?

It's not easy to say that EA has successfully gone public with the help of Warner, EA has rich experience in game production, and now wants to enter the video game industry, and the two sides have joined forces to re-acquire Atari to revitalize the United States and sell American-made game consoles to the world, which is not impossible.

Yang Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Alexey, you have worked with EA, are they really ready to enter the video game industry?" ”

Alexei nodded: "Maybe yes, I heard that they provided game software to Nintendo. ”

What the?

Is EA a Nintendo faction? Yang Yun couldn't believe his ears, and looked at Fujita Qi in surprise, and sure enough, Fujita Qi gave an affirmative answer.

Yang Yun's mind was spinning rapidly, now was the critical moment to finish fighting the local tyrant and divide the property, should he regard EA as a tiger, or try to turn him into a friend?
