It's a pity that the new CEO Satoshi Iwata strongly rejected these ideas, and they originally planned to hold it up, as the son-in-law of Yamauchi Pu, Minoru Arakawa, who was obviously more inherited, but finally gave up on his own.

Anyway, Nintendo's board of directors quarreled over this matter, and in the end, Iwata Satoru barely managed to control the situation, and with the support of several good major shareholders, he still stabilized his position and continued to develop the development of the console.

However, Iwata Satoshi was also forced to make a promise to the board of directors, that is, to turn Nintendo into a profit within one year, and return the market value to more than $8 billion within three years, otherwise Iwata Satoshi would resign himself.

All of this made Iwata Satoshi feel a lot of pressure, and just as he was trying his best to fight again, a lawyer's letter was suddenly placed on Iwata Satoshi's body.

"What! This guy Tajiri also signed a non-compete agreement! After reading the contents of this lawyer's letter, Satoshi Iwata's angry screams were so loud that even the employees who were more than ten meters away and separated by a wall could hear it clearly.

This is a lawyer's letter from Daqian, and the content of the above is very clear, Tajiri Zhi violated the non-compete agreement signed with Daqian, not only joined Nintendo, a company that has returned to the game company, but even misappropriated Daqian's R&D resources to manufacture the game "Pokemon", which seriously violated the non-compete agreement and constituted an infringement of intellectual property rights for Daqian.

So Daqian asked Nintendo to compensate Daqian for a huge amount of 10 billion yen.

Anyone who reads this lawyer's letter is going to go crazy.

Soon, Tajiri appeared in front of Iwata Satoshi, and he still had a confused expression, I don't know why Iwata Satoshi suddenly called him over angrily.

"Tajiri-kun, tell me now, have you signed a non-compete agreement with Dazen?" Satoshi Iwata asked, suppressing his anger.

"What kind of non-compete agreement, when I left Daqian, I just sold my shares, and other than that, I didn't sign any agreement!" Tomomichi Tajiri.

"What's going on with Daqian's lawyer's letter? And a copy of this dedication agreement! Satoshi Iwata handed the lawyer's letter in his hand to Tajiri and asked, "Could it be that this is forged by Daqian?" ”

Tajiri glanced at it, then shook his head and said, "No, this is indeed an agreement I signed, but this is not the agreement I signed when I left Daqian, it was the agreement signed when my company was acquired by Daqian!" You see, this is not the right time. ”

Tajiri explained.

"But this is indeed a non-compete agreement!" Iwata Satoshi was anxious, "It is very clear that once you take the initiative to resign from Daqian, then from the date of resignation, you will not be allowed to engage in the game industry for three years, nor will you be allowed to join a game company, and join the design, planning and production of any game!" ”

"This treaty is also true?"

"It should be true...... "Tajiri's face also became very ugly, and he remembered that when he was recruited by Daqian, he did sign it.

But at that time, Tajiri was just a nameless little game maker.

————

Although he has his own company, the company is a mess, not to mention that he didn't make a penny, and he lost all his money.

So when Boss Jia took the initiative to come to the door to buy Tajiri Zhi's company, Tajiri himself was very moved, and he really had the idea of cooperating with Daqian for the rest of his life.

Where would you have expected that you would leave your own company in the future, or even become an enemy of Daqian in the future?

To put it simply, people are poor and short-sighted, and poor people don't think too much about the future, and it's right to take it if they have money, so Tajiri Tomo's contract is quite straightforward.

It's just that after Tajiri and Daqian broke up, Tajiri seemed to have completely forgotten this contract, if he hadn't taken out a copy now, Tajiri wouldn't have remembered it!

"Iwata-kun, is this contract troublesome?" Tajiri couldn't help but ask.

"You ......" Iwata Satoshi was about to cry angrily at this question, and he snorted coldly, "It's serious, and according to the contract, 5 billion yen in liquidated damages need to be compensated." I think Tajiri-kun, you should take this money! ”

"What! 5 billion yen, I want to come out! Tajiri was shocked.

"Shouldn't you come up with the non-compete agreement for your money?" Iwata Satoshi was shocked again, how legally blind this Tajiri is to ask such a question!

"But I joined your company, didn't Nintendo pay for the money?" Tajiri really began to panic this time, and he always thought that this compensation should be paid by Nintendo!

"See clearly, this is a non-compete agreement, an agreement signed by you and Daqian in your personal capacity, and it is you who breaches, not us. Not to mention that we Nintendo don't know that you have a non-compete agreement, even if you do, it is your own breach of contract, and we Nintendo have nothing to do with it! Iwata Satoshi gritted his teeth and said, Tajiri fell on the sofa, and Nan Nan muttered to himself, "Where did I get 5 billion yen?" How can I have so much money! ”

"Tajiri-kun, I remember that your monthly salary at Nintendo is 10 million yen, as well as the sales share of Pokémon, as well as your salary in Daqian, and the 10% stake in Team Rocket that you sold, these add up to more than 5 billion yen, how can you have no money!"

"But I've spent all this money!"

"It's all spent!" Tajiri nodded with a sad face, Iwata Satoshi was completely speechless, it seems that Tajiri can only sell his property to pay off his debts.

But that's not the point, Satoshi Iwata doesn't care about Tajiri Tomo's loss of money at all, he cares more about the second half of this lawyer's letter, and he took out a few pictures from it, these are a few of the popular elves in "Pokemon".

But if you look closely, you will find that these elves are still slightly different in some details.

"Daqian said, these elves are theirs, their intellectual property, and we are plagiarizing them!" Satoshi Iwata asked.

"It's a complete non-existent thing!" Tajiri was anxious, "These elves are all designed by me, what does it have to do with Daqian." ”

"But Daqian gave evidence to prove that the information of these elves had been established in Daqian's internal data management system as early as July 96, and Daqian had also reported to the Intellectual Property Administration of the United States half a year later, what is going on?"

"That's right!" Instead, Tajiri looked at Satoshi Iwata with a puzzled expression, "These elves were designed by me in early 96, and they were originally intended to be used in "Pokemon Gold and Silver", but there were enough elves at that time, so I planned to use them later!" It's just that he left later, and Daqian can't be used! ”

"Don't worry, there is no doubt that these elves were designed by me, and from the paintings created, they were all done by me alone, this is my thing!" Tajiri said confidently.

"This law blind ......" Iwata Satoshi was completely stupid, and he suddenly found that cooperating with Tajiri was probably a complete joke.
