637 Million Dollar Prize Game Championship Tournament

(Happy holidays to all.) )

"If possible, we'd better be able to become a Nintendo licensed software vendor. That way, it will be easier for us to grow in the future. Wu Jiang said.

Xie Kai looked at Wu Jiang and didn't speak for a long time.

He thought that Wu Jiang's ambition was big enough and his vision was broad enough to build Kaisheng into a company like Nintendo that supplied home game consoles, and became a huge game platform that other game development companies wanted to cooperate with.

As a result, Wu Jiang only wanted to be a software vendor.

"It's impossible for Nintendo not to be tempted by our two games, which are currently the hottest arcade games in the entire world. Xie Kai looked at Wu Jiang and said calmly.

"Before, the people from Nintendo looked for Xiangjiang, but Mr. Liu was not in China and looked for me. Let's port the game to the cassette used by the FC console ourselves, they are responsible for providing sales, we bear all the costs, and in the end they want half of the sales......" Wu Jiang said with a wry smile.

"They're robbing money!" Liu Dongsheng jumped up suddenly.

Xie Kai was not angry.

Now Nintendo, from the 83 devil domestic game console market downturn, launched 8-bit home TV game consoles with great success, they have such qualifications.

"What about Capcom?"

"They want us to hand over the core program of the game to them, and they will do the porting, and we will take 60% of the profit regardless of the cost. Wu Jiang said.

"That's not bad, when did the little devil be so kind?" Liu Dongsheng asked in surprise.

Xie Kai didn't think there was anything good about this condition.

Aside from the cost, share the profits, but also the core program of the game.

"Their conditions should be more than that, right?" Xie Kai asked with a smile.

Wu Jiang nodded, "Their people said that in order to transplant the game design more perfectly, they hope we can provide the design drawings of the game substrate......

Wu Jiang didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Xie Kai immediately laughed, "These little devils are really loud!

"Make an appointment at 10 o'clock. It was Mr. Kenzo Tsujimoto, the owner of Capcom, who came here in person. Wu Jiang said.

"Meet us with this little devil. Xie Kai smiled coldly.

Wu Jiang looked at Liu Dongsheng, Liu Dongsheng was already unhappy with him, "Look at what I'm doing, it's him who offered to give you a million annual salary!"

One sentence reveals too much news.

Kenzo Tsujimoto, who is in his thirties, has the rigor of an RB person and is polite.

At 9:58, he appeared in the conference room next to Wu Jiang's office with two assistants.

One of them, a middle-aged man with glasses, was a translator.

What Xie Kai didn't expect was that Wu Jiang himself knew Japanese, and introduced Liu Dongsheng and Xie Kai to Kenzo Tsujimoto.

Kenzo Tsujimoto's eyes looked at Xie Kai for a long time, and his small eyes rolled wildly.

Xie Kai knows English, German, Russian, and half-baked Arabic, Persian, and even some Urdu, but he doesn't understand Japanese.

They didn't know there was a negotiation and they didn't have a professional Japanese interpreter, which was even more uncomfortable.

After the greetings, I went straight to the point.

"Wu Jun, cooperating with us will be a very beneficial thing for the development of Kaisheng. As a Nintendo licensee, we can also share the rights with you...... "Kenzo Tsujimoto's conditions are those mentioned earlier.

Wu Jiang knows a lot about Capcom, "President Tsujimoto, we are very satisfied with the conditions you have given. However, the design drawings of the game substrate and the core program of the game are the foundation of a company. ”

The design of the game baseboard, the other party does not count on it at all.

Until now, Wu Jiang himself has not obtained the design drawings of the game substrate.

All game substrates were produced by Factory 691, then injected by the Computer Research Center of 404, and then supplied to Kaisheng Machinery Factory through Hongqi Machinery Factory.

Wu Jiang definitely wouldn't tell the devil that he hadn't seen these things.

"Wu Jun, we need the core program and game substrate design drawings in order to better and more perfectly ...... arcade games all the way to FC games," Kensan Tsuji said shamelessly. "So far, most of our FC games have been ported to arcade machines, and we have always pursued perfection, and we have a very good reputation among players. ”

Seeing that this thing shamelessly wanted to steal the substrate design drawings he had worked so hard to draw, Xie Kai suddenly became angry.

"Mr. President, you don't need a game program or a game baseboard, you can also transplant it, right?" Wu Jiang asked with a smile.

"No, without that, it's almost a complete redevelopment, and even with a detailed and complete game setting, it would require a lot of manpower and material resources and add a lot of costs. I don't think you want to see that. Kenzo Tsujimoto said calmly.

In a country like China, where there are no video games at all, there are two such games, and they have applied for patent protection, and they can't even follow suit.

Without Kaisheng's game board, the game designed by a small company will not have a clear and smooth picture, and there will be no players at all.

What do these Chinese understand?

"President Kenzo Tsujimoto, you want the design drawings of the core program and game baseboard, not to better port arcade games to FC consoles, but to facilitate the development of games of the same type. As for the gaming board, according to our information, your company is developing an SP1 gaming boardboard based on a 16-bit processor, right?" Xie Kai's words made the translator look at him in amazement.

Wu Jiang unceremoniously translated Xie Kai's words.

"How is that possible!" Kenzo Tsujimoto was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted and shook his head in denial. "I don't understand what you're talking about. We're also working on arcade games, but we've shifted our focus to FC game development. ”

"Hehe, is it? Few of your company's FC games are original, most of them are transplanted arcade machines, right?" Xie Kai looked disdainful.

Kenzo Tsuji looked at Xie Kai with a frown, not knowing where this young man came from.

Just now, Wu Jiang introduced Xie Kai as a shareholder of Kaisheng, which he had never heard of before, and he never inquired about who designed the "Street Fighter" game.

No one even knows where the gaming substrate is made.

The only thing I know is that Kaisheng's game consoles are produced in Chinese mainland.

"We want to work together and make money together. If you don't have the sincerity to cooperate, there is really no need for us to continue talking. Kenzo Tsujimoto had an idea.

It is likely that the game was developed by this young man.

What if this young man is dug up to Capcom?

How many shares can the Chinese give?

"President Tsujimoto, if you really want to cooperate, show sincerity. If you want a game program and a substrate, it is difficult to achieve cooperation. "Xie Kai doesn't want to talk nonsense with the little devil. "Everyone in the game industry knows that the game substrate is the core. ”

The original SP1 gaming board was the world's first arcade board developed based on a 16-bit processing chip.

This has made it extremely difficult for many companies to follow the trend and imitate.

After all, Capcom is only just beginning to develop.

If they get a Kaisheng substrate, they will be able to launch their own 16-bit substrate in just a few months, and it will be even better than what Xie Kai has made.

Lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, Xie Kai will definitely not do it.

At such a point, the two sides simply cannot continue to talk.

Kenzo Tsujimoto left directly with someone.

Wu Jiang looked at Xie Kai with a wry smile, "Originally, we could have taken the opportunity to make the game sell more popularly." If it does, we can sell at least a million copies of this game alone. ”

"Millions of copies, Mr. Wu, you underestimate our game, let me tell you, if it is developed into an FC game, at least five million copies, or even tens of millions of copies, are possible!" Xie Kai said calmly.

Wu Jiang's understanding of "Street Fighter" is still insufficient.

"I am ready to launch a batch of game consoles in China, but the number of game console substrates provided by Hongqi Machinery Factory every month is too small. Wu Jiang complained, "If you produce ...... here"

Xie Kai glanced at him, "Mr. Wu, give you a task, you will regard it as an assessment at the end of your internship period, and Kaisheng will do big things." ”

Wu Jiang looked at Xie Kai in surprise and inexplicably.

"Here's a plan to hold the world's first Street Fighter tournament and give a million dollars as a reward!"

"Are you crazy?" Liu Dongsheng shuddered when he heard the million-dollar bill.

Millions!

Or dollars!

Isn't this too much to play?

"Yes, Xie Kai, aren't we too crazy?" Wu Jiang knew that their arcade was very profitable, but Xie Kai took out a million to reward the champion team, which was too scary.

There has never been such a crazy thing in the game console industry all over the world.

"How many arcade machines have we sold so far?" Xie Kai asked.

"About 100,000 units. Although the market is not yet saturated, there are not as many orders as before...... "Wu Jiang explained.

Xie Kai himself knows that the price of their arcade machine has been reduced from $3,000 to $2,200 at the beginning, and it is for this reason.

Before 100,000 units, it brought him a profit of 200 million US dollars.

"If we hold a Street Fighter Championship in half a year, some people who think they have good skills, or feel lucky enough to become champions, will they practice desperately?" Xie Kai asked Wu Jiang.

Wu Jiang instantly understood.

"The price will rise for me!" Xie Kai said coldly, "Finally, we have a chance to grab the foreigner's money, why not grab it?" In addition, the domestic market is ready to launch game consoles, and I will negotiate with Hongqi Factory to give priority to the supply of game substrates." "At the same time, we are ready to build a top-notch game design team, and after the game tournament is over, we will launch new games." ”

Wu Jiang couldn't help but look at Xie Kai a few more times.

Understood.
