Chapter 893: Four Old Guys
The conversation with Liu Nian finally made Boss Jia have a decision in his heart, before our Boss Jia has been hesitating, whether to transfer all his current games to N64 and continue to cooperate with Nintendo, instead of launching his own game console as soon as possible.
But now Boss Jia has figured it out, according to Liu Nian's words, Daqian should be able to develop a second-generation game console around the millennium, and Sony's PS2 in history was in 2004, and Nintendo's wii, it will have to wait until 2006, if Daqian can really launch the second-generation game console in 2000, then these two companies will be beaten by Daqian so that his parents don't know.
"It seems that it can only be cheaper Nintendo!" Boss Jia muttered, and then called Liu Nian to go back to his house for dinner, and at the same time made a phone call to Yamauchi Pu, who was far away in Fusang.
"Daqian guarantees that on the first day of N64's launch, all of Daqian's console games will be able to appear in the first sequence, including "Pokemon 2" and "Red Alert Console Edition"" Boss Jia promised very simply on the phone.
"Well, that's great!" Yamauchi Pu on the other end of the phone couldn't help but shout hello, only to realize that his attitude seemed to be a little too eager, so he took himself back, and then said indifferently, "Thank you Jia Jun for your support!" ”
"But Yamauchi-senpai,There's a small request in the next.,I hope Nintendo can agree to the next!!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"What requirements?" Yamauchi asked curiously.
"I want licenses for four games: Snake, Tetris, Tank Wars, and Super Mario Bros. 1!" Boss Jia said.
"What! This is absolutely impossible, Jia Jun, you shouldn't make such a stupid request! When Yamauchi Pu heard Boss Jia's request, he exploded instantly, and even directly used the word stupid.
This made Boss Jia's face suddenly show a burst of ruthlessness, this Yamauchi Pu still hasn't understood, is the situation that Nintendo is facing now?
However, Boss Jia couldn't fall out with Nintendo, he could only say in a kind tone, "Yamauchi senior, I don't think this request is stupid, these 4 games are already old games in the 70s, and they can no longer generate more profits for Nintendo, and this is unknown in their hands, useless, it's better to license it to Daqian, and you can also get some profits, isn't it?" ”
"Jia Jun, we at Nintendo will never license any games to any other game console, not to mention that these 4 games are Nintendo's absolute trump cards back then, and they have a huge brand influence in the market, don't even think about it!" Yamauchi's tone became even more blunt.
"Other game consoles!" Boss Jia's expression moved, and he finally knew why Yamauchi Pu's attitude exploded instantly, because Yamauchi Pu thought that Boss Jia wanted to run these four games on other game consoles, and borrowed the IP of these four games to develop his own game console, and Yamauchi Pu of course exploded.
What's even more explosive is that Daqian actually wants to engage in game consoles, is there shameless traitors everywhere in this world?
"Senpai, I think you've got me wrong!" After knowing Yamauchi's thoughts, Boss Jia knew how to deal with this stubborn stinky old man.
"What do I mean by mistake? If you want to license these 4 games, aren't you going to install them on a handheld game console? "Yamauchi's sense of touch is still very keen, and when he heard the names of these 4 games, he knew what Boss Jia wanted.
"Of course not!" Boss Jia smiled, "The thing is actually like this, I don't plan to put these 4 games on the handheld, but on the ......"
"I see!" After listening to Boss Jia's explanation, Yamauchi's attitude has obviously improved a lot, as long as Boss Jia doesn't want to get involved in the game console industry, that's fine, otherwise, with the game lineup that Daqian has now, if he leaves Nintendo, Nintendo is afraid that he will lose a lot of blood.
So don't look at Yamauchi Pu just now and scolded Boss Jia for being stupid, but he regretted it as soon as he said it, in case he really broke with Daqian because of this and let Daqian enter the PS camp, then Yamauchi Pu really wanted to cry to death.
Fortunately, Boss Jia didn't care about this, and then explained his true intentions, which finally reassured Yamauchi Pu.
However, even if it's not installed on the handheld, it seems that the thing with the game installed may be even more terrifying than the handheld in the future!
"Senior, can you agree to the junior's request now?" Boss Jia asked.
"This ......," Yamauchi hesitated.
"Senior, do you think that even if you don't give me these, Daqian won't be able to develop a suitable game?" Boss Jia finally stopped suppressing the anger in his heart, revealing such a momentum, which made Yamauchi Pu a spirit.
Yes, if you don't want to agree to Daqian, then you're really going to have a complete break with Daqian, and maybe Pokemon will be released on N64 because of the $1 billion contract in the future, but other games, I'm afraid it's really completely out of touch with Nintendo.
Besides, with the current game research and development capabilities, it is not impossible to develop the kind of game that is somewhat backward.
If Daqian turns to Sony's camp at this point......
"Good!" Yamauchi Pu finally figured it out, nodded and said, "Nintendo can give Daqian the authorization of these four games, but when signing the agreement, it must be agreed that these four games can only run on that thing, and they are absolutely not allowed to appear on other platforms." ”
"No problem!" Boss Jia readily agreed, and finally the two parties agreed that Daqian Games obtained the 20-year license for these four games at a price of $10 million.
"Whew, that's it!" Boss Jia breathed a sigh of relief, and then transferred from the game department of the research center to the communication department, although it is the research and development of all communication-related technologies, but in fact, it is basically the research and development base of Daqian mobile phones.
Unlike Liu Nian, who is lazy and lazy in the game department, the entire communication department is a hot scene, a large number of scientific researchers are fighting, and the semi-finished mobile phones are constantly flying in the hands of these scientific researchers.
These semi-finished products are Daqian mobile phone 2, in fact, after the successful development of Daqian mobile phone, Boss Jia directly ordered the research and development of the second generation of mobile phones.
And Boss Jia only gave the R&D team a year, and every year he came out with a new mobile phone with great improvement in function, which was Daqian's request to the entire Ministry of Communications.
Daqian mobile phone actually completed the research and development work in January 1995, so at this time, there are only 4 months left before the advent of Daqian mobile phone 2.
"Chairman!" Seeing Boss Jia appear, Minister Xu, the person in charge of the Ministry of Communications, hurriedly walked over, unlike the direct heads of other departments who are scientific research workers, the person in charge of the Ministry of Communications does not engage in scientific research, and is an out-and-out manager.
No way, sometimes researchers also need capitalism to spur it.
"Although the time is a bit short, I hope that our second-generation Daqian mobile phone can have this function!" Boss Jia handed a note in his hand to Minister Xu.
