Rebirth of the Tech Madman

Chapter 120: Japanese game companies

"Shang_Beach" will be broadcast soon, and various publicity activities will begin soon. Last year, "Chu Liuxiang" was busy before and after the hot screening. You won't forget it so quickly. It's rare to be free now. Why don't you go out with me? Turn around and relax."

   Tang Huan's thoughtful and patient persuasion finally allowed the traditional and passive Zhao Yazhi to agree.

Logically speaking, because of her work relationship, she often deals with handsome men who seem to be outstanding. She is still very immune, but now she can't resist the domineering and gentleness of the men next to her. The intensive offensive of the organization has already fully dedicated the body and mind without knowing it, almost to the point where words are obedient.

   So just like that, the next day, Tang Huan got his wish and took Zhao Yazhi on the flight from Xiangjiang to Japan.

"Seriously, your dream of traveling around the world is not so difficult to realize. After a while, our private jet can be put into use." Tang Huan whispered to Zhao Yazhi while flipping through the manuscript in his hand. Chatting.

   "I am so tossed by you every day, let's talk about it until that time if I live." The charming woman gave a dissatisfied look.

   "At that time, I will let you go back to your old career, put on the uniform of a stewardess, and we will play role-playing games together." Tang Huan whispered a few words with a smirk.

   "Ignore you." Zhao Yazhi snorted, closed her eyes, and leaned on the man's shoulder to rest.

   Tang Huan smiled slightly and didn't bother him. Recently, he galloped and released on this little woman to his heart's content. He was enjoying himself, but the woman was a little overwhelmed.

It has always been Tang Huan’s habit to use time fragments to do trivial tasks. At this time, he is reviewing manuscripts of C language programming technology. As a high-level language that will be widely used in the next few decades, it is naturally better than assembly language. It is easier to explain your ideas in software engineering through books.

   After the plane arrived over Tokyo, Zhao Yazhi began to prepare for the two people to be busy before landing, and the level of detail was not worse than those of the flight attendants on the job.

   "Professional quality is okay." Tang Huan joked.

   "Sit down." Zhao Yazhi pinched the tender meat on Tang Huan's waist.

   Tang Huan smiled and listened to his words, and looked very good, making Zhao Yazhi pursed his lips.

  Sun Zhengyi, who is in charge of Xiaobawang’s business, and Yaskawa Hideaki, who is in charge of Fangyuan’s computer business, came to the airport to greet them together. Seeing the two men’s spirited spirits, the report that business operations are extremely smooth is not a lie.

   The elegant and exquisite woman next to Tang Huan naturally attracted the attention of Sun Zhengyi and Yaskawa Hideaki. The former suddenly enlightened and asked in English: "This is the heroine of the MV "Farewell My Concubine" for the game console commercial, right?"

   Zhao Yazhi smiled and nodded her head gently. She only recently learned that the MV for "Farewell My Concubine" with a somewhat Peking Opera art form is even more popular in Japan than Xiangjiang.

   Tang Huan is not too surprised by this, just like the 12 girls band in the previous life made their debut in Japan and then returned to the mainland to be welcomed. People's preferences are not so easy to fathom.

   After introducing everyone to each other, Tang Huan got into the car amidst the polite voice of Yaskawa Hideaki.

   "I'm going to accompany me. Mikhail Cogan, the owner of Taidong Company, is back from the United States today. I'm going to stop him and talk about the acquisition again."

   Tang Huan nodded, and exhorted, "Don't work too hard, you know, the goal you picked is a bit difficult."

   "From the current market situation, Taidong should be the most suitable target, and I must win it." Sun Zhengyi replied with high spirits.

Tang Huan smiled and gave a thumbs up. He was able to understand the source of the opponent’s motivation. As a Korean with unpleasant experiences, the young and arrogant Sun Zhengyi had a great resentment towards mainstream Japanese society. The most obvious example is changing the name from Aberdeen Justice to Sun Zhengyi.

Starting from the Gregorian New Year, the sales momentum of Xiaobawang game consoles began to grow explosively, and the distribution channels have also been further expanded. Famous retail giants such as Sogo Department Store have opened special counters for customers to try before buying. .

  Pure Cassidy game console hardware, its profit is average, the focus is still on the game, you can simply think that the more the number of launches, the more you earn.

   Tang Huan allowed EA's development department in the United States to increase its horsepower to make games, and he also asked Son to actively recruit game developers from Japan, and even acquire a mature and large-scale game company.

   As for the mode of opening the Cassidy game console hardware platform and authorizing third-party development companies to make games, Tang Huan does not intend to implement it for the time being.

  In order to control costs and ensure profit margins, Japanese game industry manufacturers do not blindly pursue the most advanced technology.

   In 1983 in the past, Nintendo launched an FC game console with the same 8-bit CPU as the Atari 2600. This is an obvious example. Of course, the success of FC in the market also shows that this approach has some truth.

   Therefore, now the Cassidy game console is absolutely technically crushed in the field of video games in Japan, but the Japanese are also very powerful. Tang Huan, who is afraid of him, dare not open up authorization as soon as he comes up.

   And in the original time and space, Nintendo's open hardware platform was very strategic.

   In order to ensure the quality of the software and avoid the tragedy of the Atari crash, Nintendo created a royalties system in 1984, that is, third-party game developers have to pay royalties based on the sales situation in addition to purchasing high-value development platforms.

   This method has brought huge profits to Nintendo. Since then, Sega, Sony, etc., all game console manufacturers have followed suit and adopted a royalty system.

   Although this experience is very successful, Tang Huan still does not intend to adopt it immediately. Let Son of Masayoshi expand the scale of the development department of EA Japan to see the effect.

Japan’s game development and production resources are very rich. The "six major software vendors" selected by Nintendo: HUDSON, namely Hudson, Namco, Dadong, Capcom, JALECO, and Konami. Has come out.

Among them, Hudson, Capcom, and Jelico are still small workshops, and there is no value for cooperation at the risk of technical leakage, while Namco, Dadong, and Konami have developed well. Especially before Nintendo entered the field of video games, Sega, Namco, and Dadong shared the profits of the Japanese arcade market.

   Other well-known game companies such as Guangrong, Square, Enix, etc., are either still in their infancy or have not yet been established.

   As for other companies that focus on gaming as their main or sideline business, there are too many to count.

   Why is Japan’s game industry so prosperous? In Tang Huan’s view, in addition to its own traditional factors, it is also related to the special situation after World War II.

   At that time, the Allies occupied the Japanese islands by military force. The US garrison alone once exceeded 100,000. As we all know, the American soldiers are the most unwilling to be lonely, and their purses are also bulging, so naturally they are looking for all kinds of fun.

   An earlier game was a coin-operated jukebox. Many companies, including Sun Zhengyi's Taidong, made money from American soldiers.

   In this respect, the Japanese are very talented in making games and pleasing people.

Under Tang Huan’s instructions, Sun Zhengyi made full use of resources in this area. The establishment and expansion of EA’s Japan Development Department went very smoothly. In order to implement the localized operation mechanism more quickly, acquiring a Japanese game company is undoubtedly a shortcut. .

   In order to save unnecessary investigation time, Tang Huan directly delineated the valuable industry scope for Sun Zhengyi: Nintendo, Sega, Namco, Dadong, Konami.

   Among these goals, for well-known reasons, Nintendo does not have to worry about it, and Sega is also useless. Its controller is ambitiously preparing to do it.

   As early as the end of the 1960s, Sega was acquired by the American businessman Charles Bluhdorn, Charles Bludorn’s corporate group Gulf and Western Industries.

  Gulf&WesternIndustrie is also known as Gulf+Western, and it acquired Paramount from Hollywood in 1966.

I have to say that there are too many smart people in the world. Business people may have this idea for a long time. After establishing a strong industrial capital, then investing in some entertainment industries like movies may have better business results. And it can satisfy some hobbies of being a man.

   That's it. On the American side, Warner controls Atari, and Paramount has Sega as a company.

But Tang Huan knew that things changed and ambitions were not so easy to achieve. Atari crashed the entire game console market because of greed, and Charles Bludorn passed away in 1983~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Their goals are all in vain.

   In addition, Sega holding the Gulf+Western thigh, strictly speaking, is not the real Sega Japan at present, and this situation will not change until Hayao Nakayama truly takes power.

Compared with Sega, Namco founded by Nakamura Yaya, Daito founded by Ukrainian Jew Mikhail Kogan, and Konami founded by Jingzheng last month are more grounded in the control of local resources in Japan, but The first two have already developed quite strong strengths, but Konami's capital operation is more difficult.

   But in actual operation, Sun Zhengyi holds the specific direction.

   Tang Huan wondered with a joking attitude, whether Sun Zhengyi has such a soft spot for Taidong, is it related to the arcade game "Space Invaders" that he once reselled from Japan to the United States.

   However, according to the original historical trajectory, Taidong has not been listed. The founder Mikhail Cogan died of a heart attack while traveling in Los Angeles in 1984. After the following year, Taidong was included in Kyocera's banner.

From the perspective of the founder’s possessiveness, Mikhail Kogan, a Jewish Jew who is now over sixty years old, may be more suitable to talk about than the Japanese who are run by the father-to-child family model, such as Nakamura Masaya and Last month Keisha. The acquisition thing.

   I have to say that Sun Zhengyi’s entry point is still commendable, but why did he just say that the progress was not going well?

   After this information flashed in his mind, Tang Huan stopped going into it, and chatted with Hideaki Yaskawa about the operation of Fangyuan Computer, which supports Japanese in Japan.
