238. Objection of Dongying Company
From June to September, War Dragon seemed to have entered the harvest period, and various good news kept coming, which made Lin Muyu want to regret the bet he made with Su Butong more than once. On this day, Su Butong took the initiative to mention it.
This matter: "Why don't we just forget about our bet?"
"Forget it? Why forget it?" It's not even the end of the year. In the past three months alone, the profit of the company Su Butong invested has already exceeded 30 million yuan, or even calculated in billions of yuan. But Lin Muyu was a little angry.
I don’t want to admit defeat to Su Butong.
"The dividends will be generous this year, don't regret it." Su Butong is telling the truth. It seems that this year's profit will be more than twice that of last year.
"I regret it now, what do you want to do?" Lin Muyu bit her lips and immediately became charming.
"Hey, it makes sense. Tell me what you think." Su Butong knew that there was no reason to talk to women, so he asked Lin Muyu to analyze why he could make so much money, so as to satisfy his vanity.
Heart.
"What do you think? You're just lucky." Lin Muyu pouted and said. It's not like she hasn't analyzed it before. Su Butong is really lucky. Do you think he does business in a systematic way? Not at all. That's right.
Hit it with a hammer, then hit it with a hammer. You have no idea what he wants to do, but what he does is often unexpected and very profitable.
"Although I made a lot of money this year, you also squandered a lot. Didn't your animation company also make money?" Lin Muyu tried to start with the weak link of Su Butong's investment.
"Animation production is not something that happens in a day or two. Let's just leave it there for now. Maybe we will make money next year." Su Butong didn't think it was a big deal. "I think your listing plan can be implemented. What do you think?
Woolen cloth?"
"I...I still need to revise it." When it came to her plan, Lin Muyu immediately became honest. At first, she designed the listing plan centered on the Dragon War game, but Su Butong made it clear that she did not want the game company to
If it goes public, his plan will also need to be adjusted and modified accordingly.
"Bu Dong, something happened!" Zhang Yang rushed to Su Butong's office and said with a pale face.
While all kinds of good news made people feel the incomparable vitality of War Dragon, a not-so-good news came from Nintendo, that is, Nintendo officially informed that starting from September, Nintendo will no longer produce any new games of War Dragon!
……………
Tezuka Takashi came to Hiroshi Yamauchi's office and said, "I have sent a fax to Zhan Long, telling them that this year's quota has been used up."
The game quota is a plan formulated by Nintendo to avoid repeating the mistakes of Atari. In theory, each game company only has a quota of 3 games per year. However, because Dragon Wars is so good, the quota was relaxed to 5 games.
Even so, War Dragon still exceeded the quota limit, which is why other manufacturers took this issue as an excuse. After all, this year, these seven manufacturers have only made less than 10 games in total. But they feel that War Dragon has made more money.
That part of the money should be earned to a large extent by them.
"Zhanlong has produced 7 games this year. Which of these 7 games is not a masterpiece? Is Su Butong's creativity endless? Or do Chinese people have special talents in making games?" Pu Yamauchi said with a wry smile: "7
Game companies jointly protested that Zhan Long released too many games this year, saying that we at Nintendo favor Zhan Long, and this guy Su Butong has already caused public outrage."
"But I don't understand why they should ignore their protests and no longer accept Zhanlong's game production application. If Zhanlong switches to Sega at this time, I think it will be a huge loss for us. Didn't I say before
Is Sega helping War Dragon make arcade games?”
"Idiot, our Nintendo has become a trend. Do you think Zhan Long will defect to Sega at this time? Is Su Butong's brain in trouble?" Pu Yamauchi said: "I do this for two purposes. One is to calm down.
Let's take a look at the anger of other manufacturers. Partners are very important to us at Nintendo. We cannot completely rely on one Zhan Long for our future development. The second is to suppress Zhan Dragon. If Zhan Dragon is not suppressed, Zhan Dragon will be suppressed every few times.
A hit game will be released every month, which will also have an impact on our company's games. Also, if Su Butong is smart, he will know that I still left a hole for Zhan Long, that is, we did not say we would not take them.
Games that have already been produced. After all, we are Nintendo, and we still have the final say on the company’s policies.”
However, as if God played a joke on Nintendo, news of a man named Hiroshi Yamauchi's rage also came:
"Hudson will join forces with two Japanese companies, NEC, to develop a fantasy game console, codenamed: PCE!"
"Hudson? How dare they?" As the first third-party game manufacturer to cooperate with Nintendo, Hudson enjoys the special treatment brought by Nintendo, but it is also the first company to show its rebellious intention to challenge Nintendo's game dominance.
For a time, it was no longer news that Zhanlong's quota had expired, and everyone in the industry was surprised that Hudson was so decisive.
"It is said that the new game console will be a 16-bit game console... which means that this game console will support many arcade games on the market, and you can play arcade games at home..." Tezuka Takashi said.
"Tell Hudson that they will no longer be able to enjoy Nintendo's most favorable treatment. This is their punishment!" Hudson's rebellion made Hiroshi Yamauchi very angry.
……………
Zhanlong high-level emergency meeting.
"This is all my fault. I forgot about the quota and just focused on playing games." Su Butong first admitted his mistake to everyone.
"Bu Dong, you can't be blamed for this incident alone. We all failed to fulfill our responsibility to remind you." Wang Jiang said seriously. No one wants to see such a big thing happen to the company.
"The question now is how much impact the quota limit will have on our war dragons and what consequences it will have." Lin Muyu said, holding his chin with the back of his hand.
Chu Xingyun, the interim head of the game group, said: "The games we are currently working on include "Plants vs. Zombies" and "Street Fighter"... Everyone is very enthusiastic now. If they don't make games, I don't know what to ask them to do.
Do you have to clock in at work every day?" Chu Xingyun asked worriedly.
"Don't worry too much about this. We are waiting for the third development team to come back and let them lead everyone to make arcade games... We can transplant Castlevania to the arcade platform. We just need technological innovation to develop games on the FC platform. Technically we
We are already very proficient, now we need to expand the scope of our technology... Starting from this month, we will shift our game development direction to develop both FC games and arcade games."
"But having only one Castlevania game will not be enough to support our development plan for the coming year..." Chu Xingyun worried.
"For FC Games, we can develop traditional Chinese novels such as "Journey to the West", "Water Margin", and "The Romance of the Gods". Journey to the West can be a side-scrolling game, and Water Margin and Fengshen can be RPG games..." Su Butong
Said. "Games that have been developed before can continue to be sequels. In a word, we should not be afraid of not having content, but we should think about how to make good content." Su Butong has a lot of things in his mind.
At this time, Zhan Long was informed of the news that Hudson would join forces with NEC to develop game consoles. NEC sent an invitation to Zhan Long.
