Chapter 129 Look at the Good Things You Have Done. Fourth Update.
Han Hongkun has been staying at home doing nothing.
He has no interest in his father's business and thinks that it is a waste of time.
If you have that time, it’s better to stay at home every day to gain weight.
Anyway, dad has already made money, so what else does he make? That's what he thought anyway.
But when Zhao Zhijie told him to open a video game store, his heart suddenly moved.
He suddenly had the urge to do something big himself.
Of course, he had to get to know the video game store first.
The first thing is to play this so-called high-definition complete version of The King of Fighters.
This King of Fighters is much more handsome than the King of Fighters in his family!
And there are three times more characters in it than in the King of Fighters at home.
Isn't this a good time to have fun?
As for opening a store, you can wait until you have fun.
Soon, Han Hongkun bought two hundred coins directly from the counter where Big Fat Xing was.
It's only a hundred dollars, and he wants to kill the entire real video game store!
…
At the same time, in Japan in the middle of summer, the game arcades here are also crowded with people.
In Japan, arcades have long become one of the most popular forms of entertainment, and are more mature than the current Chinese business system.
Not long after the arcade version of The King of Fighters came off the production line, they were sent to various arcades one after another.
The bosses of the arcade were a little skeptical at first because they heard that the game was bought by Sega and N2K from a small company.
Can a game made by a little-known company work?
However, their doubts did not last long, and the heated scene left them with no unnecessary words.
Now they are looking at the customers who come in one after another with smiles on their faces, watching them look at the dozens of King of Fighters machines with joy, anger, or obsession.
In this way, machines other than the King of Fighters are instantly less popular.
Maybe fighting is really a kind of survival instinct of human beings. As long as it is related to fighting, people will like to get involved in it.
In just one day, fifty King of Fighters machines generated revenue of one million yen for them.
This is equivalent to earning the purchase cost of five or six King of Fighters machines in one day.
When Sega and N2K saw how popular their games were, they immediately raised prices for arcade owners without being polite at all.
But the arcade owners didn't complain much. Later, even if the price of one machine increased to 400,000 yen, they were all willing to pay for it.
Just kidding, only a fool would miss a business that can pay back its investment in a few days.
Even if the price doubles again, some of them may still consider biting the bullet and buying it.
This series of actions was naturally noticed by NGS, the largest game manufacturer now.
NGS itself actually has an arcade business.
The earliest Donkey Kong and early plumber games started in arcades.
Later, NGS did not abandon this business line, but it did not attach as much importance to it as home computers.
But the bustling commotion here still caught the attention of NGS executives.
"Miyazaki, look at the good stuff you've done, now that real game that left NGS is selling like crazy through arcades."
At the weekly meeting, Akira Nakamura took the lead.
With a cold face, he slapped the real game-related data he had recently collected on the conference table.
Miyazaki remained calm on the surface, as if he was not affected by this.
But inside he was quite unhappy.
Why are you shouting so loudly? I've seen this data, okay?
You are one level below me, how dare you go against me like this?
Miyazaki wanted to directly exercise his higher-level rights.
In Japan, it is very common for people to be crushed to death at the highest level.
Akira Nakamura seems to be a bit of a loser.
However, the two sides had a competitive relationship in the early days, and there was no real superior-subordinate relationship in a strict sense. There was no way to really fall out with Akira Nakamura.
Not to mention that the data that Nakamura showed was a real slap in the face.
It’s uncomfortable, really uncomfortable.
I really want to find a way to get rid of this guy Akira Nakamura!
Miyazaki said calmly: "So what? He is only developing in the arcade industry, which is gradually declining. This proves that he no longer has any ability to challenge us. As long as he offends our NGS, he will not be able to stand out in the home console market." , isn’t this a good example?”
Akira Nakamura sneered: "Is this really so? But according to my investigation, Sega and Nippon Electric are currently promoting the home console version of the King of Fighters game, and because of the popularity of arcades, many players have expressed their dissatisfaction with home consoles. King of Fighters Interest.”
Akira Nakamura slapped another piece of data he had compiled on the table, embarrassing Miyazaki again.
He gritted his teeth: "Then let this guy who defies our NGS know how powerful we are, and all his related games will be cleared... We won't let this guy make a penny from us, and let those guys who are ready to take action know If you provoke us, you will be punished."
Akira Nakamura shook his head: "It seems that you still don't understand. We at NGS may not always be able to sit back and relax. Sega, Nippon Electric, even Atari and other companies are all staring at us. As long as we make a little mistake, we may have to Finished."
"Nakamura-san, that's about it. He's just a game developer. How much influence can he have? No matter how great the influence of his games is, can it be compared with the foundation we have established for several years? Moreover, we still have a trump card. For example, the handheld business will be launched in the year after next.”
Akira Nakamura was a little silent.
He wanted to say something more.
But other shareholders participating in the meeting obviously wanted to be at odds with each other.
This made him a little disappointed.
He couldn't say whether Zuo Zhen could affect the overall situation, but he felt this was a warning.
But others feel they are in an advantageous position.
How could I lose such a dominant position?
Akira Nakamura didn't say anything more in the end.
If you say more, it will have some impact on yourself.
Forget it, just take care of your own area.
Concentrate on making the next hit game.
Recently he is working on the latest Mario game, the third one, with Miyamoto.
It's already starting to look a bit obvious now.
The second half of the meeting was a routine business report within the company, and Akira Nakamura was not in the mood to care.
After the meeting ended, a shareholder came to Akira Nakamura and persuaded Akira Nakamura not to be so tit-for-tat. After all, everyone was looking down and not looking up.
Akira Nakamura dealt with it casually for a few words before returning to his game development department.
As soon as he entered the development department, Miyamoto took the initiative to find Akira Nakamura.
"Director Nakamura, let me tell you good news. I have roughly figured out the development direction of Super Mario 3. I plan to specially strengthen the transformation gameplay this time!"
