Chapter 1827 Beyond Kirin Culture!
The secret weapon that Casar found is the eight classic games produced by Kirin Games.
Because he discovered it.
So far, although these eight games have been extremely popular on the Game Boy's platform, their gaming platform is the only handheld game console, the Game Boy's portable one.
Although the game boy has already achieved a total of 100 million units of horror sales, compared to family game consoles and arcade machines, it is really a terrible thing.
For arcades, there are more than 40 million units in the United States and more than 20 million units in Japan. Together with the world's largest number, there are at least 180 million units in stock.
Home game consoles are now sold more worldwide, with about 200 million units. Almost one out of every three children in the United States owns a home game console, whether it is a boy or a girl.
Kirin Games Company and several Japanese game companies have deep cooperative relationships. Even now the headquarters of Kirin Games Company has been moved to Osaka, Japan, and Nintendo and others.
Originally, Casar felt that he had no chance.
But after so long observation, he found that none of the Japanese manufacturers had obtained the copyright authorization for these eight games, which made people think a little deeply.
Casar is not that reckless.
He sent someone to investigate the production and procurement plans of companies such as Nintendo and Sega.
It was discovered that they really had no plans to start production of these game cartridges, so his heart suddenly became active.
If Atari can obtain the authorization of these eight games, it would be a great thing!
With the status of these eight games in the minds of players, no matter how poor Atari is now, once the arcade machine including these eight games is released, the game cartridges of the home game console will definitely be resurrected immediately!
Atari's current stock market value has fallen from its peak of US$3 billion to US$1 billion, and it is still falling.
Faced with such a situation, people from top to bottom in Atari were very anxious.
Once Atari's situation reaches the last step, the workers and R&D engineers will be fired, and the senior executives will leave with a shameful resume.
None of these are what they want to see.
In fact, Atari had fired more than 3,000 employees in the second half of last year, which made the company's atmosphere even more solemn.
However, as long as Casar can obtain the eight games licenses from Kirin Games, all these difficulties will no longer be difficulties. Atari's second spring will inevitably come!
Then the question is.
Even the Japanese that have such a good relationship with Kirin Games Company has not been able to obtain the authorization of these eight games. What ability does Atari have to make Kirin Games Company spit out such a large piece of fat?
To say plagiarism. Version...
Small companies may still dare to do this, but companies like Atari dare not.
If you want to say that their market value has plummeted by two-thirds anyway, it is better to take a risk...
That must be a joke!
Although Atari is about to lose weight, behind Atari is Warner Brothers!
Patent identification is very easy and simple and cruel in terms of this game.
Once you are identified, you are a plagiarism version, not only will Atari be fined a huge sum of money, but Warner Brothers will be greatly affected.
In the United States, patent law is so domineering!
So, Casar can only think of a solution from the front and see how to impress Kirin Games.
Of course, he knew it too.
Even if it impressed Qilin Game Company, the final decision was still in Yin Jun's hands.
Casar thinks he is a very outstanding businessman and manager, but he really has no confidence in facing the smartest genius in the world to show off and make conspiracies.
After all, being so arrogant is just a joke about the IQ of the people all over the world!
It seemed that 1984 had passed and the brand new 1985 was a brand new year. If Casar could not come up with a good plan, Atari would be completely finished, so he could no longer bear it and flew directly to Japan. Osaka, the president of Kirin Games Company, and then came to Xiangjiang with Tomokazu Nakada, the president of Kirin Games.
Tomokazu Nakata was going to return to the headquarters to provide a year of overall report.
In addition, the conditions given by Casar are very tempting, so of course he doesn't mind bringing this beauty and squad over here.
To be honest, this is actually caused by Tomoto Nakada's vanity.
Two or three years ago, Yarida was the super overlord of the world's electronic game industry, and he didn't even look at Japan. This group of gamers.
But now that time has changed, the president of Yarida has to come to the door in person and ask for cooperation with a shameless face, which naturally greatly satisfys Tomoto Nakada's vanity.
But he is not an idiot. Yin Jun specifically told him not to let go of what Casar asked for, so he was only responsible for conveying it to Yin Jun.
When he returned to the headquarters, Tomoto Nakata walked a little bit and seemed very energetic.
Last year, Qilin Game Company has successfully squeezed the Qilin Group's cash bull market and Qilin culture, and has become the king of cash bull market itself!
Yes!
Since the establishment of Qilin Group, Qilin Culture's position in Qilin Group has been unshakable.
With "Qilin Weekly" and its derivatives, especially various toy figures, etc., the overall profit of Qilin Culture once accounted for 90% of Qilin Group!
In those years, almost all the companies under the Kirin Group relied on Kirin culture to make a living.
Fortunately, this is a boss's industry, otherwise the people of Qilin culture will definitely have to be on the top of the sky.
But even so, the people of Qilin Culture speak louder in the headquarters and walk more powerfully.
At that time, the employees of Kirin Game Company, who had just founded and had only twenty or thirty people, could only look at them with a slight look and vowed to catch up with the big brother and chase its tail.
As a result, I never expected that in just three years, Kirin Game Company soared by more than a dozen steps in a year. Today, it can surpass Kirin Culture!?
The same thing as Qilin Group is based on the company summary made over the past year of the lunar calendar.
Although it is not yet February’s Spring Festival, Kirin Games has sold 60 million game kids this year, and the price is still US$120. Based on the net profit of 50%, this single contribution contributed 3.6 billion US dollars to Kirin Group!
In this way, it exceeded the sum of all the profits of Qilin Culture.
no way.
No matter how good the peripheral products of Qilin Culture are, they cannot always buy them. The total turnover of peripheral products in a year has not reached 3.6 billion US dollars, let alone profits.
Even if the "Qilin Weekly" and single-line books have been added, it has not yet reached it.
But the profits of Kirin Games are far more than that.
Their game cartridges last year sold a total of 300 million boxes of game cartridges, and each box was sold for US$20!
These game cartridges are actually very low in production, and they are produced in Japanese factories, and a box costs less than 1 US dollars.
That is to say, the various patent licensing fees for Nintendo, Sega, and Namco were higher, and the profit margin dropped to 50%, which brought another net profit of 3 billion US dollars.
It is precisely because of such a large amount of cash cow that Huo Jianning has such great courage to acquire hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars of land and real estate in Xiangjiang.
Say something arrogant that doesn't make people like.
Now there are no more than 5 companies with a market value of more than US$6.6 billion in Xiangjiang, let alone the profit is US$6.6 billion.
You said that with such a result, how could Tomoto Nakada be unhappy?
Of course, he also knew that the biggest reason why Qilin Game Company has such achievements is the boss's genius.
Whether it is a game boy or several games, the main planners are the bosses. At best, they just realize the boss’s ideas.
Such work can be done by Kirin Games, Nintendo, Sega, and even other second- and third-rate game companies.
So Tomoto Nakada often mentions this to his subordinates at the headquarters of the Kirin Game Company in Japan, so as not to be too proud and stop working and making progress.
Nowadays, the Kirin Games Company has more than 1,500 designers in the Japanese and central part of Japan.
These people were divided into 13 groups, of which 8 groups corresponded to these eight games. The three groups were responsible for three games such as "Xiangjiang Square", mainly to update the versions of these games, add new gameplay, etc.
The remaining two groups are responsible for the development and creation of the two games, "Street Fighter" and "King of Fighters".
"Street Fighter" was selected into the official publication from the supplementary supplement in July 1983.
After more than a year of publication, the praise level cannot be considered the best, but it is really not bad.
Especially a group of comic fans who like fighting think "Street Fighter" is more beautiful than the cruel and cold "Beidou Fist".
Game fans and comic fans usually have two types of people who overlap more frequently.
They began to instigate the Qilin culture early on and asked them to develop games such as "Beidou Shenquan" and "Street Fighting".
Tomoto Nakada also received all these suggestions, and he was also very moved.
But he cannot reveal the development status of "Street Fighter".
But he has written letters to Yin Jun several times, hoping to make the game "Bei Dou Shenquan".
Even Nintendo came to me and told Hiroshi Nakata that if you don’t do “Bei Dou Shenquan”, you might as well just authorize us, so that we can make money together and share the money together.
Why do you want to share the money I can earn?
Did you think of us when you Nintendo made a lot of money?
While Nakata Tomoto rejected Nintendo, he also decided to come to Hong Kong this time and talk about this matter with the boss-
