Seeing Su Budong coming in, Hiro Yamauchi stood up to greet him, pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit down."

Su Budong sat down as he spoke, and then asked, "Old man, what's the matter, you come to me?"

Yamauchi Hiroshi picked up the pen in front of him, drew a few strokes on the paper, and then said, "At the beginning of this year, the contract I signed with you will probably be changed."

Su Budong raised his eyebrows, "Oh" for a moment, and then asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you know how many games Nintendo has released this year?" Yamauchi Hiroshi seemed a little confused when facing the man in front of him, but he still said something. Because this was related to Nintendo's future profitability, after all, Su Budong took advantage of the fact that Nintendo's business situation was not very good and slaughtered himself a few times. Now he feels it is necessary to let himself take the initiative.

"I'm not very clear." Su Budong said.

"There are 69 games in total, of which you, War Dragon, account for 5, including the unsold games." Yamauchi said.

"What the old man means..." Su Budong had known what kind of virtues Yamauchi Hiroshi and Nintendo had. It was already very good that he could kill them a few times. How could Yamauchi Hiroshi allow such a young boy to ride on his head?

"Because games need to be processed in Nintendo's OEM factories, and now our production pressure is very high, so I think it is necessary for us to sign a new contract again," said Hiroshi Yamauchi.

"What kind of contract is the old man planning to sign again?" Su Budong asked.

"In the future, the production cost of Nintendo of 1,000 yen per box of cassettes is required. Nintendo cannot pay this part of the cost on your behalf. The cost must be settled in one go before the game is released, and we must be given an authorization fee." Yamauchi said.

"Old man, I only have one question. Are fun games and unfunny games all cost 1,000 yuan per plate? In this case, who is willing to make good games for players to play?"

"What do you mean?" asked Hiroshi Yamauchi.

"I mean, if you make a good game, you should have certain reward measures, such as reducing a certain production fee, how about 100 yuan per plate? Or can you have a preferential policy? If the game is done too well, can you avoid the production fee in this regard?" Su Budong bargained.

"How to define good games and bad games? We are not gods, so we can't predict what kind of games players like. And 100 yuan is too little, right?" Yamauchi said dissatisfied.

"In Japan, North America, and China now have special game magazines, which will rate each game. You can try games for these magazines before they are released and let them rate them. Even Nintendo can have an evaluation agency that evaluates the quality of the game. There is a standard there. The manufacturers are naturally willing to use their limited energy to make more games. What do you think? Besides, it is not only Zhanlong who has a preferential treatment of 100 yuan in production fees. As far as I know, at least six Japanese companies have such treatment..." Su Budong asked.

"This..." Hiroshi Yamauchi originally wanted to include Zhanlong in Nintendo's management model. If Subodong did not agree, then Hiroshi Yamauchi had some ways to tear up the contract. At that time, the liquidated damages set by both parties were completely fine with Nintendo's profit payment this year. Without the large platform of FC, Zhanlong would have nothing.

Su Budong also thought of this, so he held back his breath and did not break up, but instead asked to reduce the production cost according to the standards of a good game.

"Okay, you convinced me, I agree, who told you to come from Nintendo too? If you don't give you preferential treatment, others will think that I have no tolerance. The game of War Dragon can be reduced to 100 yuan. As for the free and other things later, I want to consider it again." Yuki Yamauchi felt that Su Budong's suggestion was not a problem, after all, it is beneficial to Nintendo's long-term development.

"You asked for 300,000 copies of "Tanks Brawl" in advance, so you don't have to pay for this part of the cost, but starting from "Contra" and "Castle of Devils", you will have to pay Nintendo 100 yuan per drive. Tezuka and others have tested it just now, and these games are all excellent games."

Su Budong nodded: "Yes, I want to produce 1 million Conrats, including 600,000 overseas versions, and the Castlevania requires 1 million copies, of which 500,000 overseas versions, a total of 200 million yen. With the authorization fee of 500 million, I will give you a total of 700 million yen. Is this OK?" Su Budong climbed up the pole.

"Yes." Yuki Yamauchi always felt something was wrong. What about that arrogant young man at the time? The one who dared to challenge him? Why did he agree happily before he even said that he would sign and get out of such a domineering word?

This is unscientific, this is not very unsupervised.

It’s not that Su Budong doesn’t want to resist, but that he can’t resist himself. Nintendo’s trend has been established, the game industry has entered the feudal era, Nintendo is the lord, and game companies from all sides are the princes. If he is stubborn, the one who suffers from the damage is Zhan Long. He also gave Nintendo a lot of money before, but now Nintendo wants to pass on the risks and ask other game companies to give them money in advance.

Su Budong knew what level of making games he was, so there was no big difference between giving early and late.

Moreover, it depends on the FC platform to make money. If Su Budong and Zhan Long leave this game platform, they will probably have no say in the game industry within a few years.

No, Yamauchi Hiro suddenly realized something was wrong. Su Budong just said that he would make 1 million sets of "Contra" and "Castle of Demons"?

What the hell? Now Super Mario's sales in Japan will exceed one million, and North America's sales are said to have reached more than 4 million. Then the games of Conra and Castlevania actually want to have millions of sales?

Is Su Budong crazy about money?

"Are you sure you want us to make a double 1 million plate? If you can't sell it, you Zhanlong will take care of the loss yourself." Yuki Yamauchi asked.

"I'm sure." Su Budong said. Japan's FES cassette policies are different. One allows for enhanced cassettes, and the other does not. However, in order to save trouble, Su Budong developed it specifically to use Nintendo's own MMC chips as optimization instead of technical dynamic enhancement. Zhanlong is not like other Japanese game companies, which have experience in arcade development, so even if it wants to enhance it, it cannot be achieved in technology and industry. Moreover, as a profiteer, since it is sold in many countries, some subtle gaps cannot be seen on the 8-bit computer. Su Budong does not want to modify it back and forth because of the different policies.

"Then sign the contract." Yamauchi Hiro had already prepared and took the contract. Then Su Budong carefully reviewed the contract, confirmed that there was no trick, and signed his own name.

Seeing Su Budong signing the contract, Yuuka Yamauchi said with satisfaction: "I won't keep you."

Su Budong nodded and was about to go out, but Yuki Yamauchi called him. "If one day he couldn't stay in China, Nintendo's door will always be open to you."

Su Budong bowed to the old man, "Thank you, but I hope there won't be that day."

Because my dream is to create an empire like Nintendo, rather than being stuck in a contract change like now.

However, all dreams have to begin step by step. Su Budong feels that his path has just begun.

Hiroshi Yamauchi looked at the tough words on the contract and cursed with a smile: "I don't believe this kid when you didn't ask me." Although he hated Su Budong's rudeness, Hiroshi Yamauchi admired his talent first-class appreciation.
