Chapter 1256 The price-cutting turmoil that ended without success(1/2)

Taking the technical means in 2020, three or five students who have just passed the electronic game development school can easily make it.

Because they have the best ideas, endless reference, and very intelligent software.

However, these elements were not available to Kirin Games in 1982.

They only had the sketches given by Yin Jun and some explanations.

So they worked for 6 months before they made the first edition.

After two months of continuous improvement and polishing, the final version was finally completed.

These days, Sega, Korami and Namco's technicians are in Xiangjiang, and the engineers of Kirin Game Company have worked together to improve the game.

After listening to the report from the technicians, Okubo Goku laughed from ear to ear when he talked to Yin Jun.

There is no way, the past month has been too miserable for electronic manufacturers other than Nintendo.

After receiving "Super Mario Bros." in December last year, Nintendo ported it to arcades and home video game consoles as fast as possible.

Then, electronic game manufacturers around the world watched Nintendo quickly reach the peak of his life!

In February, Nintendo's sales on "Super Mario Bros." exceeded US$65 million, 80 million in March, and directly exceeded 100 million in April. In the four months, the average sales of US$1.2 billion are!!

After all, they actually sold $700 million this year with "Super Mario Bros.", and their cost was only $500 million to Yin Jun and very little production costs.

The copyright fee of 500 million yuan is all given in three years.

From this point of view, Nintendo will be able to pay the 500 million yuan at most in the next year and start making a big profit in net profit.

With a game having a life cycle of at least 5-10 years, Nintendo's "Super Mario Bros." is conservatively profitable at US$2 billion.

Wow, it's just a game!

2 billion US dollars is still a net profit, not sales!!

How come you say it won’t make people envious, jealous and hateful?

For this reason, many Japanese game dealers are even mocking Yin Jun.

Xiao Yinjun only has a genius design mind, but no genius negotiation means.

Such a good game was sold for just 500 million US dollars, and at most it would only require some unimportant patents from Nintendo.

At first glance, it is indeed the case.

If Kirin Games did it themselves, even if it could not make $100 billion like Nintendo, at least $100 billion can still be guaranteed.

Yin Jun exchanged Nintendo's patent license for the 500 million US dollars that was lost.

Is it worth it?

Many people certainly find it not worth it.

But Okubo Goku didn't think so.

The more he had contact with Yin Jun, the more he felt that Yin Jun was asking for, and had a very clear and terrifying plan, but now everyone didn't know it.

Specifically for "Super Mario Bros.", it is certainly a classic among classics, but Okubo has long known that Yin Jun must have creativity that is not inferior to it.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to agree to Yin Jun's harsh conditions and persuaded his two allies to agree.

For today.

When the technicians first came into contact with "Conra" and then reported to Okubo Goku with an extremely respectful and surprised mood, Okubo Goku played the game several times with a few companions.

After Yiyi reluctantly put down the game controller, it took a long time for Okubo to calm down the agitation in his heart.

It’s really Yin Jun!

He is worthy of being the most amazing man in the world!

He said that he could create a game that is not inferior to "Super Mario Bros.", that is, there is!

"Contra"!?

good!

very nice!

As long as you are a boy, even an adult who is already working, you will definitely be attracted by this game and keep playing it regardless!

Although it will lose many girls players, as long as it deeply captures male gamers, it will still be able to make a fortune.

After all, electronic games are games for men!

They discussed and said that they must get "Contra" so that they can fight against the increasingly powerful Nintendo and gain a foothold in the game market.

Even if everyone is a Japanese manufacturer and will not start a war directly, but if we work hard for our own profits, we will fight with our abilities to gain market share, isn’t that wrong?

However, although they were optimistic about "Contra", they also felt that Yin Jun's appetite has always been very high and the price was very high. Should we all work hard and kill the price a little?

Our deposit has been given long ago, so do they have to give some benefits?

The deposit mentioned by several people is the technical patents and authorizations purchased by Yin Jun from Sega, Namco and Korome before because he wanted to develop the "Game Boy".

Like Nintendo, they signed a contract at the end of last year and transferred the patent to Yin Jun.

Speaking of which, their sincerity is enough.

Where do people who do business dislike making too much money?

So it is natural for them to lower the price.

Okubo Goku also went to Yin Jun's office with this mentality and discussed it with him.

After understanding Okubo Goku's intention, Yin Jun smiled and signaled him to listen to a call.

"Hey, Mr. Yamauchi?" Yin Jun spoke in English after dialing the phone with hands-free.

Okubo Goku was stunned when he heard this, and then sat up straight.

Yamauchi who is qualified to let Yin Jun call himself must be Nintendo's Yamauchi.

"What? Mr. Yin, have you considered it clearly?" As expected, Yuki Yamauchi's voice came from the other side of the phone.

"I have told you that this matter has been decided to cooperate with Sega and the others, and I can't change it." Yin Jun smiled, "I just can't figure it out. I want to ask you why you know so quickly? They just came here the day before yesterday, and today you know about the general matter of "Conra"?"

Hearing this, Okubo Goku felt a chill all over.

Why?

How is that possible!?

Why did Hiroshi Yamauchi actually know about Conra?

There was a traitor among us!

Okubo Goku didn't have time to think about it extra. As Sega's helmsman, he knew very well what the center point of the problem was.

The most terrifying news revealed to Okubo Goku this phone call is that Yamauchi Hiroshi not only knew about "Contra", but also offered Yin Jun a price!

Even though he didn't know how many details Yamauchi Hiroshi knew, Okubo Goku knew that with Yamauchi Hiroshi's vision and courage, especially after having such a good cooperation foundation with Yin Jun, his offer would definitely be not low.

"Haha, this matter is not suitable to tell Mr. Yin." Yamauchi said with a breakdown: "If you are not satisfied with my 600 million US dollars and the quotation of those patents, then we can use the method of sharing and cooperation, what about it?"

"You have your persistence, and I have my promise, too." Yin Jun said, "Since I promised Sega and the others last year, I won't regret it now."

"Is that so regretful!" There was an indescribable regret in Yamauchi's words, but his next sentence made Okubo Goku stunned: "I don't know if Mr. Yin, do you have plans for the next game? We can also cooperate."

"have!"

In Okubo Go's eyes that were unspeakable or nervous, Yin Jun nodded, "No worse than "Super Mario Bros." or "Contra". We will meet you next year at the latest."

"good!"

Yamauchi laughed, "Then please keep it for Nintendo, we will give you the best reward!"

"Everyone is competing fairly, let's talk about this matter until the game comes out!"

Yin Jun did not agree to Hiroshi Yamauchi, and after saying a few more words to him, he hung up the phone.

"Mr. Yin, I understand!"

Without waiting for Yin Jun to say anything, Okubo Goku immediately gave up all his previous plans, "500 million US dollars will be paid within three years. We can sign a formal contract tomorrow."

Yin Jun nodded with a smile, without making any additional requests, "I wish us a happy cooperation."

"The new game project you just mentioned..." Okubo Goku immediately said the topic, "We Sega also have a chance, right?"

"Yes." Yin Jun said, "Everyone competes fairly, I have the final say."

"Okay!" Okubo Gou breathed a sigh of relief, "I'll go back and prepare. The three of us will come tomorrow morning and officially sign the contract!"

Yin Jun has already discussed the details of the contract with them, including the patents given by Sega and other three companies, which were all part of the contract.

The only difference before was in terms of value.

Now Okubo Goku already knows that if he is too stubborn, he will definitely be poached by Nintendo, and of course he will never hesitate again.

The question of money is easy to talk about, the key is whether you can get good projects.

If a project like "Contra" is lost, he will definitely regret it for the rest of his life.

Before leaving, Okubo Goku still couldn't help but ask Yin Jun another question: "Mr. Yin, I wonder why you disagree with Nintendo's better conditions, but agree with our worse conditions?"
