Chapter 243 Nintendo
Nintendo can be said to be the longest-lived TV game platform company and the most influential and famous game platform manufacturer in history. It is the leader of portable game console platforms. In the future, Mario, Donkey Kong, The Legend of Zelda and Pokemon. Nintendo mainly produces and sells home game consoles and game software, including Nintendo GameCube and the world's best-selling handheld game console GameBoy series.
Of course, Nintendo is not as good as it will develop in the future, but it is also ranked alongside Sony, Sega and Microsoft as the "four major game consoles" manufacturers. The achievements can be said to be quite gratifying and can generate considerable profits every year.
However, the profit is relatively high. The current game market is still in the initial development stage, and many families do not have game consoles. In addition, Nintendo's red and white machine and gameboy have not yet been developed, so the profit can be imagined.
Judging from the scale of Xiashe today, Nintendo is even lower in total sales and profits, and the gap is obvious. However, Nintendo's future is bright, especially in a few months, red and white machines will be developed.
This time, in order to show sincerity, Nintendo sent people to Shigeru Miyamoto, the current director of the intelligence development headquarters, who will be the "Father of Mario" and the "Father of Modern Electronic Games" in the future!
Shigeru Miyamoto graduated from Kanazawa Municipal University of Fine Arts and Technology in 1975 and then joined Nintendo. His debut work "Donkey Kong" hit a profit of US$120 million in North America, with a remarkable achievement. In the future, Shigeru Miyamoto will create one myth after another for Nintendo and the Japanese gaming industry. Even foreign political and economic magazines have selected him as one of the most influential people, and have ranked first among the ten best game designers in the world selected by authoritative magazines. It can be said that Miyamoto will make great contributions to Nintendo's development to that level in the future.
Shigeru Miyamoto is only 30 years old, about 1.7 meters tall. He looks a bit funny. But people can't just look at his appearance. Although Shigeru Miyamoto is not as famous as later generations, he is also a famous game designer.
Speaking of which, since the founding of Tianxia Society, several popular comics have been suitable for making games, resulting in many game companies wanting to buy the copyright of these comics. However, Zhao Chen refused, including two major game companies, Nintendo and Sega.
"Teacher Zhao Chen, I'm very happy to see you, I'm disturbing you!"
Miyamoto's face was full of smiles. When he smiled, his small eyes narrowed into thin slits, and he looked like a funny actor.
"I'm the same. I didn't expect Mr. Miyamoto to come in person!"
The two shook hands and sat on the sofa in the reception room. A staff member brought the tea.
"Teacher Zhao Chen, I don't talk nonsense, for fear of wasting your time. I believe you know that our company's visit is also clear. I still want to buy the comic adaptation rights this time!"
Miyamoto Shigeru is very respectful to Zhao Chen. Although he is the editor-in-chief of Nintendo, he is not only not as large as the World Club, but also has a huge difference in personal reputation.
Although Shigeru Miyamoto is famous in the game industry, he can only make a move by his Virgo "Donkey King". But Zhao Chen is different. He is not only a world-renowned cartoonist, pianist and film screenwriter, but also the president of the World Club. He owns many companies, and the difference in both financial resources and reputation is more than one level. There is no way, the current game is only in the initial development stage, and it is far less than as popular in the future.
Zhao Chen said with interest: "Oh, is your company still doing the same for "Dragon Ball" as last time?"
"No, "Dragon Ball" is second, this time it is mainly for "Pokemon"! Teacher Zhao Chen, as long as you are willing to sell it, the price is not a problem!"
"Pokemon!" At the sound of it, Zhao Chen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. A cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He knew very well that "Pokemon" was the first game "Pokemon", and other products such as comics, animations, toys, and mutants were considered peripheral products.
These peripheral products are actually quite good, among which the sales of comics are nearly 100 million, and the animation scenes occupy the top ten ratings of the island country animation. The animation theater version can sweep the box office of billions of yen in the island country every time. As for peripherals such as toys, there are only a few comics that can be compared.
But that's the case, the combined profits of these peripherals are not as good as those in the game. In the future, "Pokemon" will be worth tens of billions of dollars. How could Zhao Chen sell this golden rooster that lays the egg?
"Oh, I wonder how much your company can pay?"
Zhao Chen means the lowest price of Nintendo. He just asked curiously. He would not sell the copyright of the Pokémon game anyway.
"Pokemon is now famous and is also a work by Mr. Zhao Chen. Since our company has come with sincerity this time, we plan to buy the Pokemon game adaptation rights at a high price of 10 million yen!"
When Miyamoto talked about it, his voice couldn't help but raise a little. Perhaps ten million yen was really not enough for him. In terms of conversion, it was almost 100,000 US dollars, which was definitely a high price. At least Zhao Chen had never heard of the adaptation rights of comics in recent years that they could be sold at this price.
What made Miyamoto Shigeru proud was that Zhao Chen was obviously stunned for a moment, with an unbelievable look. Miyamoto Shigeru thought that Zhao Chen might have been shocked by this high price.
Miyamoto Shigeru's idea is indeed correct. Zhao Chen was indeed stunned by this price, but in his opinion it was not a high price, but a low price that could not be lower. Just think about the difference between a hundred thousand US dollars and a hundred billion US dollars. The gap during this period is tens of millions of times!
It is also considered that Shigeru Miyamoto has a shallow knowledge. This guy is working on games all day long, so how much time does he have to check Zhao Chen's background? On the other hand, he looks at this price from his own perspective, mainly because he may not be able to make so much money in a year.
"Mr. Miyamoto, all copyrights of "Pokemon" are not sold!" Just when Miyamoto was still feeling a little proud, Zhao Chen's words were like pouring him a basin of cold water.
"What, Teacher Zhao Chen, is it a price issue? Don't worry, our president is very interested in the adaptation rights of the Pokémon game. I believe he will increase the price!"
It is obvious that Shigeru Miyamoto was surprised. He wanted to promote this business. The main reason is that Nintendo's senior executives are very optimistic about the huge potential of "Pokemon" adaptation into a game. If it fails this time, although there will be no punishment, it will inevitably be neglected by the senior executives.
"Mr. Miyamoto, no matter how much your company pays, I will not sell any adaptation rights for "Pokemon"!"
"But, Teacher Zhao Chen..."
Miyamoto's face changed drastically, and he wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Zhao Chen without hesitation: "Mr. Miyamoto, I have just said that the copyright of "Pokemon" is not discussed! I still have a lot of things to deal with now, so I won't accompany Mr. Miyamoto. If you have any questions, you can discuss with my secretary!"
Zhao Chen waved his hand and stood up, ignored Miyamoto Shigeru, and turned to his office.
"Teacher Zhao Chen!"
"Mr. Miyamoto, please forgive us for our president! The president is so busy that he has no spare time every day. If you have anything else, you can tell me that I will convey your words to the president!"
Zhao Chen's exclusive secretary had a professional smile on his face. He had seen this situation more and had to face it almost every few days. There were too many people who wanted to meet Zhao Chen. If he really accompanied these people, Zhao Chen would probably not even be able to take out his work time.
Shigeru Miyamoto took a deep breath, said nothing, and left the world club.
When the middle-aged secretary saw this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Shigeru Miyamoto would get angry at him.
There is no way, this is the job of a secretary! The profession of a secretary is very good, the benefits are good, but the work is also complicated, and I will meet many big people, especially female secretary!
After seeing Miyamoto Shigeru leave, the middle-aged secretary returned to the president's office.
"President!"
"Oh, he left?"
"Yes, I dared to ask, Nintendo's price is quite high, why is the president?"
"Do you think you can make more money by selling raw materials or finished products?"
"Of course it's the finished product!"
"That's all. Why should we push money to others? There is no need to rely on others' breath!"
"What does the president mean?"
Chapter completed!
