"Mr. Yamauchi, why are you pushing me to this extent?" Jia Yapeng's face turned into a bitter gourd face.

"I didn't force you!" Pu Yamauchi shook his head, "I'm just enforcing our usual rules, all game cartridges that sell less than 5000 will be forcibly removed from the shelves after a month, there have never been any exceptions, I didn't target anyone, garbage should leave the stage, so that more excellent games can be noticed"

"At the beginning, I warned you to be cautious about the first printing, and printing 50,000 copies of a new game is already very risky. You have to print 1 million copies, it has nothing to do with us, it is your arrogance that harms you! Yamauchi Pu said lightly.

When Pu Yamauchi said this, he had obviously made up his mind to remove Pokemon from the shelves, which was no longer the result of negotiations that could be changed.

"Well, we're a little arrogant!" Boss Jia sighed and said, "But Mr. Yamauchi, once Nintendo decides to remove the game from the shelves, can we sell it ourselves?" ”

"It can't be!" Pu Yamauchi immediately refused, "Even if it is a product that has been removed from the shelves by our Nintendo, it will definitely not be able to continue to sell without the permission of our Nintendo!" ”

"Really!" Jia Yapeng exclaimed, "But, I remember that the contract is not written like this!" ”

"No way, that's what the contract says!" Yamauchi subconsciously retorted that the cooperation agreement between Nintendo and the third-party game company was drawn up by Yamauchi himself, and he remembered every rule clearly.

All the games released on the Nintendo platform, their life and death will be firmly in the hands of Nintendo, Yamauchi does not remember, there will be a clause in the contract that allows third parties to sell Nintendo games on their own.

Pu Yamauchi has always believed that if you want to maintain the quality of the games in the Nintendo camp and Nintendo's own profits, you must control the sales channels of all game cartridges.

All game cartridges must and can only be sold by Nintendo, and any third-party company, even the developer of the game, can only share and must not sell it on its own.

Therefore, Yamauchi's third-party cooperation treaty stucks all third-party self-sales channels to the dead, and never gives any opportunity for third parties to sell on their own.

That's why Yamauchi Pucai denied it so decisively, how could there be such a loophole in the contract terms he designed!

"No, I remember there is!" Boss Jia touched his head, and then exclaimed, "I remember, it's stipulated in Article 23 of the contract." Due to the miscalculation of the third-party game company, the burned game cartridge is too large, and the sales volume exceeds 50% of the total burned volume. ”

"Third-party game companies must be responsible for their own mistakes and buy the excess sales cartridges in full at the burn price!"

"Chairman Yamauchi, there is such a rule, right?" Jia Yapeng said.

"So what?" Yamauchi frowned.

Of course, Yamauchi knows this rule in the contract, because this rule was personally drafted by Yamauchi himself, and the purpose is to prevent too many burned cassettes from being burned, but they cannot be sold, resulting in their own losses.

Therefore, Yamauchi Pu specially customized this rule, which can pass on the full amount of the resulting losses to third-party game companies, which is why Miyamoto Shigeru asked Tajiri to pay the 1 billion yen burning fee just now.

Anyway, you guys miscalculated the number of the first printing, what's the matter with Nintendo.

It's just that why did Jia Yapeng mention this rule?

Yamauchi was a little puzzled.

"However, I remember that Article 21 has a supplementary clause, that is, when the third-party game company acquires the excess cartridges of the game in full, the third-party game company is allowed to sell the game cartridges on its own in order to make up for the loss, provided that the third-party game company pays Nintendo's 50% of the royalty in advance and does not reduce the price!"

"Chairman Yamauchi, there is this clause in the contract, I remember it right!" Jia Yapeng asked with a smile.

"......" Yamauchi Pu stopped talking, if Jia Yapeng hadn't mentioned this stubble, he really didn't remember this clause. But once Jia Yapeng mentioned it, Yamauchi Pu immediately recalled it, after all, this was a clause drawn up by him himself.

Yes, there is a clause in the contract, but it has never been triggered, and no third-party vendor has used it.

Why?

The reason is simple, because the vendor simply does not spend money to enforce this supplemental agreement.

This is because this addendum will only be triggered when the game's inventory cartridges are 50% surplus and the total production cartridges are removed, and Nintendo actively asks for them to be taken off the shelves.

This means that this game is definitely a garbage game, and at least a game that doesn't sell in the market.

In this way, the manufacturer must not be happy, not only to spend money to buy the cartridge back, but also not allowed to sell it themselves, this is not the initiative to throw money into the pond? After discovering this, many small manufacturers directly choose to blow themselves up, even if they go out of business, they will never buy back these game cartridges.

This made Nintendo a little nerve-wracking, so Yamauchi Pu made a change in the rules and let the manufacturer sell it on its own, but before selling, it was necessary to pay the profits that belonged to Nintendo.

Nintendo's logic is simple, because once he is out of Nintendo's control, they don't know how many game cartridges the manufacturer has sold.

Therefore, Nintendo requires the manufacturer to pay Nintendo's share first, so that no matter how much the manufacturer sells in the end, Nintendo can earn the original share.

Of course, considering that you have to pay a share in advance, and the game itself is not easy to sell, Nintendo rarely reduced its own sales share by 50%.

For example, this time the Pokemon priced at 3999, after paying the 1000 burning fee, of the remaining 2999, 200 is the retailer's profit, and the remaining 2800 was originally divided equally by Nintendo and Team Rocket, and everyone received a share of 1400 yen.

However, under the premise of supplementing the terms, Nintendo's share was halved again, from 1,400 to 700 yen, but only if the money was paid in advance by Team Rocket.

You see, Nintendo's abacus is so good that if you plan to sell your own cassette that you can't sell, you have to pay a large share of it first.

Which game company can stand it.,It's going to cost 1,000 yen a piece.,Now you have to pay an extra 700 yen.,Who can afford this Nima.。

So even if Nintendo designed this clause later, there were almost no companies that were really willing to spend money to implement it to buy the right to sell on their own, and over time, even Yamauchi himself almost forgot about this clause.

Until now, Jia Yapeng took the initiative to bring it up.

"Chairman Yamauchi, if we are willing to pay a total of 700 million in shares, then we can sell Pokemon on our own, right?"

"That's right!" Yamauchi nodded subconsciously.

"That's it!" Jia Yapeng took out a check for 700 million yen from his pocket and handed it to Yamauchi, and then said with a smile, "Chairman Yamauchi, you really made money lying down now!" ”

Yes!

Yamauchi Pu didn't have to do anything, just took advantage of the advantages of the platform and the overlord treaty, and collected a huge sum of 1.7 billion yen after paying a small burning cost, which is almost equivalent to Nintendo's total sales in the Fuso area in the last month, and it is really a business that makes an explosion while lying down!

Yamauchi Pu was afraid that he was dreaming, and he was about to wake up laughing.
