Chapter 1591: Choice
"By no means, if we land on the Thousand Machines Platform, then we will never have a chance to defeat Daqian!" Satoshi Iwata said hurriedly.
"Why is it gone!" Minoru Arakawa asked dissatisfied.
"Let me ask you, after "Pokemon" is released on the Thousand Machines, will our other games also be on the Thousand Machines platform? Do we want to go one step further in the future and bring our console games to the PlayStation platform again? Satoshi Iwata asked.
"This ...... Also to study...... Not necessarily something" Arakawa is a little distracted.
"Hmph, you don't need to be here to bother, I tell you, there must be two in everything, there must be two in two, there must be three after three, and after three there is infinity!"
"Once Pokemon is on the shelves, it will inevitably bring a lot of profits to Nintendo. And if you look at these profits, it will drive more games to join the Qianjibian platform, or the PS platform. ”
"I dare to make a prediction for you here, once the opening is opened, it will not take more than three years at most, and almost all of our new games will land on these two platforms!" Satoshi Iwata said loudly, Arakawa actually planned to log all the games into these two platforms, and naturally he had no confidence in his heart, and he couldn't refute Satoshi Iwata at all.
Even if it is refuted, the weakness of the heart can be seen at a glance.
Thinking of this, Minoru Arakawa didn't bother to pretend anymore just now, and said directly, "Even if you log in all of them, why not?" This will bring more profits to the company and allow us to accumulate more strength to prepare for a counteroffensive in the future. ”
"Hahaha! When the time comes, will you still be willing to counterattack? Do we still have weapons for a counteroffensive? Iwata Satoshi laughed, but there was a hint of sadness in his laughter.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Minoru Arakawa frowned.
"Arakawa-kun, you should know that the reason why we at Nintendo have been able to hold on until now is because our Nintendo's games can only be played on Nintendo's consoles!"
"Think Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda and other classic game images and stories, can only be carried out on our game consoles, as long as these are there, our Nintendo is unbeatable, our Nintendo's game consoles, keep fighting!"
"But once you've got all the games on the enemy's platform, and all the players who love Nintendo games can play our games on the enemy's platform, why would they buy the N64? Why buy GBA, isn't it more cost-effective to buy only one game with better performance, more PS and thousands of machine changes for games? Satoshi Iwata asked loudly.
"Arakawa-kun, I can make another bet with you, once the platform is released, it will also take three years for the sales of our Nintendo's next-generation game console, I'm afraid that even 1 million units will not be able to break through, no one will want to buy a console that can only play dozens of games, not to mention that these games can be played on other platforms!"
"By that time, our console business would be ruined!"
"Nonsense, when the time comes, we can take back all the games that have been released, and declare them exclusive to the next-generation console, and the same can only be played on our Nintendo's game consoles."
"And at that time, our game will attract more loyal players on the enemy's platform, and then redirect them back to our console platform, and our console will be thriving and impossible to destroy, you are alarmist!" Minoru Arakawa is very confident in what he says, because that's what he thinks.
"But why don't you say there's another scenario?"
"Players who still stick to our console will be attracted to other gaming platforms, and then completely taken away by Daqian and Sony, never to come back, and we will lose these loyal fans forever?" Satoshi Iwata.
"You're also guessing, there's no evidence!" Minoru Arakawa snorted coldly, and the two of them were about to quarrel in the ward again.
"You two shut up for me!" Pu Yamauchi, who had been silent, finally spoke, and Minoru Arakawa and Yan Tian obediently closed their mouths at the same time.
"You two think very well and have your own ideas, so I'll talk about my thoughts now." Yamauchi Pu said in a calm tone, and then looked at Iwata Satoshi on the side and said, "Actually, I don't have much thought, and I don't know which of you is right, but as long as it reminds me of the fact that I once had to pay us half of the share!" Now that I have become our master, our company has to pay 30% of the share to him, and I feel very uncomfortable! ”
"I, Yamauchi Pu, the leader of Nintendo, have struggled for 60 years, and to this point today, it is not to find a new master for myself and work for others to make money!"
After Yamauchi Pu said this, Arakawa Minoru's expression instantly changed, and Iwata Satoshi looked at Yamauchi Pu excitedly.
Yes, at this time, Yamauchi Pu turned to look at Arakawa Minoru and said, "Arakawa-kun, you go home, I think Yoko must be very hopeful that her husband can have time to spend more!" ”
"Chairman, what are you ......" Minoru Arakawa stood up and looked at Yamauchi with a tight gaze.
"Arakawa-kun, I know your talent, and I also know that Nintendo's success in the world is inseparable from your operation in North America, and it is no less than Satoshi Iwata's contribution to the company!"
—————
"But you are just a businessman, you are an operator, you may be able to win more profits for the company, and take you to the property management to run a game company that is also the best!" Pu Yamauchi showed a rare sincere expression and looked at Minoru Arakawa.
"So, I'm being expelled?" Minoru Arakawa's expression was extremely stiff and complex.
"I have two sons and two daughters!" Yamauchi continued, "It is difficult to follow my plan that Kakuren (the eldest son) will inherit 3.03% of the shares, and Manjo (the second son) will also inherit 3.03% of the shares. At the same time, I will give Yoko and Tominoko 1.97% shares each. ”
"But I changed my mind, I decided to divide 10% of my shares equally among the 5 of you, and each of you can get 2% of the shares!" Yamauchi gasped.
"Chairman!" Arakawa Minoru looked at Yamauchi Pu with some shock, although he was Yamauchi Pu's son-in-law, he was not a son after all, and there was no blood of the Yamauchi family in his body at all.
However, after the meeting of the distribution of shares, Yamauchi Pu actually divided 10% of the shares in his hand completely equally, and he Arakawa was like his own child, and he actually got 2% of the shares, which is so important!
However, Minoru Arakawa also understands that this is actually compensation from Pu Yamauchi, because in order to get these shares, Minoru Arakawa must launch the company, and at the same time cooperate with Satoshi Iwata to let him take over the power in his hands.
"Chairman, you will regret your decision today!" Minoru Arakawa said with his head down.
"Hehe, who knows, at least the old man doesn't regret it now!" Yamauchi laughed.
"I see!" Minoru Arakawa stood up, then bowed deeply to Satoshi Iwata and said, "Iwata-kun, I hope you can make the company prosperous!" ”
"Arakawa-kun, please rest assured, I will do my best and die!" Satoshi Iwata also stood up and returned the salute to Minoru Arakawa.
"Hehe, I hope so!" Minoru Arakawa shook his head, and then left the ward directly, while calling his wife and explaining the situation today.
"Husband, didn't you say that you have united with these major shareholders of ****, and you have received 30% absolute support, if your father does not agree, you will directly force the palace?" Minoru Arakawa's wife, Yoko Arakawa, who was once Yoko Yamauchi, asked puzzled.
"My father gave me the treatment of a son, how can I disobey him!" Minoru Arakawa shook his head, and in the end, if it wasn't for the 2% shares of Pu Yamauchi being sent out, which moved Minoru Arakawa greatly, he would have been ready to directly use the equity to force the palace.
"So what do we do next?" Yoko Arakawa asked in a panic.
"Let's leave, this is a giant ship that is about to sink, it is actually quite good to be able to give up the delusion and get off the ship early!" Minoru Arakawa laughed, "Actually, it was Iwata-kun who really suffered, because he was destined to fight a war that he couldn't win, just like Fuso in 1943." ”。
