Chapter 164: Officially Declaring War with DQ (Fourth Watch)
Salute first and then soldier, two days to manage all opportunities, a minute of hundreds of thousands of presidents to visit in person, which has shown Longteng's enough sincerity.
But Enix refuses to cooperate, well, the next thing is to press the army, since you can't be an ally, it's an enemy!
Thinking of the tragic fate of Konami, Namco, and Capcom, who also belonged to the Nintendo camp, Yuji Horii hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand what I mean, two presidents!" But I'm only in charge of the game department, and the company's president Fukushima is the decision-maker, so I need to report to him! ”
Yang Yun stood up and said lightly: "Okay, we'll come back tomorrow." I hope to hear good news from Mr. Horii! ”
Since Enix needed time to think about it, Yang Yun would give them a day.
After visiting three companies in a row, only one Climax has real moves, but unfortunately they are an unreliable ally who loves to brag, a double-edged sword that even he feels dangerous to wield.
Yang Yun said to Hayao Nakayama: "When Agamemnon conquered all of Greece, the Messenians blocked it, the Arcadians blocked it, and the Ibians blocked it, but these people finally surrendered in the face of great strength. Now that Enix is like the city of Troy, standing in my way, I must take the stronghold of this RPG! ”
Hayao Nakayama was stunned and said, "But Achilles, the god of war, also died in Troy City!" If Enix were treated as Troy, would there be losses that even we couldn't afford to lose? ”
Yang Yun sneered: "If you are afraid of losses, then you won't fight with them." We have steadily developed the Bright Liliang series and found a way to suppress Dragon Quest in terms of sales. But is it interesting to do so? Who can guarantee absolute success? Are you sure you'll make a game that's even more popular than DQ? ”
Hayabusa Nakayama was speechless. He can't guarantee it, and that's exactly why he doesn't like RPGs quite a bit! Because the game is so difficult to design!
Wait for the two fierce gods of Sega to leave. Yuji Horii was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and quickly informed President Fukushima that the matter was too big to be the master.
Yasuhiro Fukushima took this business, which can bring in billions of yen every year, and came from Kyoto on purpose.
"What are the consequences if you work with Sega?"
"Then we will offend Nintendo, and we will lose at least 80% of our old customers by abandoning SFC, but we may gain another new group of fans from the Sega platform," Yuji Horii said. It's just that the number of people is unknown, and I can't estimate the exact data! ”
"And what if you refuse to work with Sega?"
"Then Sega will become our opponent, and the Dragon Entertainment Game Company from China will become our biggest RPG game opponent, no one knows what kind of game they will make, but just look at the fate of those game companies in Konami and Capcom." ”
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, Yuji Horii didn't dare to say any more, he didn't even dare to say that Sega already occupied one-third of the world's video game market, and he didn't dare to say that the handheld market was firmly controlled by Sega. He didn't dare to say that Sega was also the world's top manufacturer of arcade game hardware.
He only knew that the more he talked, the more wrong he became, in case Yasuhiro Fukushima would be guilty of the wrong decision. All the losses incurred in the future are counted as his responsibility, then he really loses more than he gains!
Yasuhiro Fukushima pondered that the gaming industry was different from his main real estate business. The real estate market is so big, and you can't eat it all if you enter 100 companies. A piece of land for a family is enough to eat for a few years. You don't have to worry about others sticking chopsticks into your bowl.
The exclusivity of the game determines that only the people at the top of the pyramid will be remembered by players, and cooperating with Sega does not mean that Sega will give up the RPG throne in the future, and will let Enix monopolize the first position.
Yasuhiro Fukushima has seen too many cases of unloading and killing donkeys, and he decided to reject Sega this time and continue to play for the Nintendo camp, at least he will not lose Nintendo's old customers, no matter how bad it is, it will not be worse than starting over again on the Sega platform.
There was a fruit called "good" that exuded a unique smell, and the shrewdness of the merchant made him quickly think of a good idea, and he smiled at the corner of his mouth and said, "I see." If you reject Sega's decision, I'll do it. ”
Yuji Horii grew his mouth and was stunned, he didn't think about this result!
It's over! What should I do?
He could imagine Yang Yun's expression the next day, a cold, cold, cold that made people feel cold, even the coldness of looking at the dead.
Yasuhiro Fukushima doesn't need to know how companies like Capcom Konami are declining, but Yuji Horii knows it well.
The anger of Longteng and Sega is definitely not something that a small company like them can withstand!
After Yasuhiro Fukushima left, Yuji Horii hurriedly called Koichi Nakamura, and he wanted to know if Sega was behind it!
Koichi Nakamura said very seriously: "Section Chief Horii, Sega did come to me, and I rejected them with the contract between us, so please rest assured, ChunSoft will definitely complete the design of the DQ5 on time, and no one can disturb us." ”
Yuji Horii almost fainted, he was speechless.
It's so ruthless! I wanted to use the bottom of the kettle to draw salary and dig up the design team first, but fortunately, Koichi Nakamura refused.
But in this way, all the pressure is on Enix, and even if there is a dispute in the future, the loser will be Enix, not ChunSoft!
Enix is defeated and will lose completely, and Koichi Nakamura, transformed into a player, can continue to make the same type of RPG for Sega after no constraints!
Yuji Horii hung up the phone and sat down in his chair, his mind blank.
In an instant, a sudden thought startled him!
Isn't it time to prepare in advance and choose the back road?
……
Yasuhiro Fukushima directly found Pu Yamauchi, and after the two old guys met, they greeted each other's families. It didn't take long for things to bring up the game.
Yamauchi Pu was very sensitive and guessed: "Did Sega find you?" ”
Yasuhiro Fukushima looked embarrassed: "President Yamauchi." This makes it difficult for us to do so. With their approach, they must have found more than one of us. We're under a lot of pressure! ”
Yamauchi clenched his fists, trembling all over, and gritted his teeth and said, "Sega is too much! President Fukushima, at this critical moment in choosing a camp, you can't forget the cooperation between our two companies for many years! ”
Yasuhiro Fukushima had a gloomy face, and it took a long time before he said: "But we are not Nintendo, and we don't have the capital to compete with Sega at all...... Only Nintendo can keep our Dragon Quest game! ”
Yamauchi Pu was stunned, is this to sell the copyright of Dragon Quest to them?
"President Fukushima, what ...... you are?"
Yasuhiro Fukushima said bitterly: "Under pressure from Sega. Many employees of the company have changed jobs, which has brought great trouble to the development of DQ5, and it is very likely to affect the version of SFC. It's not easy for us to recruit skilled engineers in the short term, and the high salaries are no longer useful, so I hope Nintendo can lend a helping hand and help us, and if this continues, we really don't dare to continue to invest in R&D......"
Bastard!
Yamauchi Pu understands that this is going to be a benefit!
Do not give benefits. If Enix stops its development progress, then SFC will never be able to wait for the DQ5 version.
In doing so, Enix did not breach the contract, as he did not offer it on the Sega platform. It's just a matter of stopping R&D.
But this is exactly what Sega is trying to do.
Yang Yun said that it is best to buy Enix, if it can't. Then apply for Sega exclusivity, but if you really can't have Sega exclusivity. It is also possible for the two platforms to be released together, if you have to be exclusive to Nintendo. It's okay to stop publishing on Nintendo platforms.
Yasuhiro Fukushima knows very well that what Sega wants now is not DQ, but to block Nintendo and hit SFC!
Game providers, as long as they have the core jishu, they will be popular wherever they go, and when Sega and Nintendo have decided the winners, DQ5 will be released on the winner's platform!
Yamauchi Pu felt endless anger in his heart, and at such a critical moment, his so-called most solid allies had even left them behind for their own benefit.
But he can't help it, without Nintendo, and the thriving Sega, players have other options.
Looking at Yasumo Fukushima's embarrassed and aggrieved look, Yamauchi greeted the other party's family again in his heart, and then said as calmly as possible: "Nintendo has the responsibility and obligation to help its allies. I wonder what President Fukushima wants to help? ”
Yasuhiro Fukushima smiled: "The aid fund that can keep a team of 10 people running for a year will do!" That way, we'll be able to launch the next SFC release next year! ”
“@#¥%!” The funds for a 10-person team to operate for a year are calculated based on an average monthly salary of 700,000 yuan, which will be hundreds of millions of yen!
Yamauchi was angry, and he was almost furious on the spot.
But sanity eventually prevailed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "By February 20, 1992, Enix needs to release a stable DQ5 for SFC!" ”
Yasuhiro Fukushima laughed and took the initiative to reach out his hand: "Thank you President Yamauchi for your support!" I knew Nintendo wouldn't leave it alone! ”
……
Enix refused to cooperate, Yang Yun accepted the result calmly, and said to Yuji Horii with a smile: "Then Mr. Horii, we'll see you in the sales ranking of CESA!" ”
Yuji Horii couldn't cry or laugh, he could only watch Yang Yun turn around and leave, wanting to cry without tears.
100 million yen in aid funds, but it is very likely that Enix will be blocked, and Yuji Horii doesn't know if it's a blessing or a curse.
The next day, the front page of professional gaming newspapers and media was filled with the same headline: "Fengyun Games is ready to develop an epic RPG TV game!" ”

The following words are free:
Say a few words from my heart.,Today, a book friend joined the group.,Chatted with me.,Said that I used to watch pirated copies.,But for the sake of this book.,Recharge into the beginning of V.,There's no monthly pass this month.,I can only vote next month.。
In order not to be embarrassed, I said that I read some small white books, which are also pirated copies, as long as everyone has their hearts.
Then he said a sentence that almost moved me to tears, he said: "I'm afraid of him TJ for niche books, it doesn't matter if there are more gods and less than me." ”
I suddenly understood, weishenme my monthly pass is so high, but other books of the same level are several times my subscription, it turns out that you are a group of genuine book friends who are silently supporting me, and you are raising me.
Thinking about the fact that a few days ago I asked for a monthly pass, and on the same day, the rampaging sheep book friend rewarded me with 100 RMB just to get 1 monthly pass, I was really moved.
Don't say anything else, as long as you don't write about collapse, definitely not TJ, write until 2014. If you see the precursor of the collapse, hurry up and remind me...... I love to see you guys give opinions in the book review section and kill this and that!
Also Nima Blood Lion, the Yamaguchi Group has come out, talents! I almost went crazy laughing. (To be continued......)
