Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-Five You are the one who is courting death!

Hiroshi Yamauchi is not a self-made person.?

In fact, Nintendo is their family business. It used to be a card-making company, which is the kind of "Yao Ji" in China.

Yamauchi Hiroshi is the third generation of the family. He has been spoiled since childhood. He is a very famous private college in Japan, and is surrounded by noble elites, so his vision is naturally very high.

When his father passed away, 22-year-old Hiroshi Yamauchi was ordered to take over Nintendo in the face of danger.

The first thing Yamauchi did was to drive all the old ministers and important officials out of the company who were dissatisfied with him, and replaced them with his classmates, seniors, etc. from Waseda University, all of whom were highly educated talents.

Originally, everyone thought that this playboy would definitely destroy the company, but unexpectedly, Nintendo's performance has improved greatly in less than a year after managing the company, and even occupied more than 60% of the daily market in just a few years, making him the absolute overlord.

When Dugu Qiu was defeated in the card industry, Hiroshi Yamauchi felt that his company was too small and there was never much way out for playing cards, so he changed to doing electronic game projects.

Yamauchi's luck was also good. At this time, he met the genius designer Junhei Yokoi. It was Yokoi's series of genius Akira, especially the appearance of Akira's Cross Keys, Red and White Machines and Gameboy, which made Nintendo the world's number one home electronic game console company and maintained its strength for decades.

Although Nintendo is repeatedly beaten by Sega in the arcade market now, their potential in home video games is very strong.

Yin Jun even knew that if there were no accidents, the emergence of red and white machines in 1983 would have officially established their dominant position in the home game market.

But!

It's not 1983 now.

Yamauchi Hiroshi did not become the overlord of the home video game market because of the emergence of red and white machines and gameboy. At that time, no one could go against his intentions.

Why?

Because the only consoles and standards in the home electronic game market are designed by Nintendo, he opens these source codes and releases them to you so that you can make games according to this, so that games can appear on Nintendo's game consoles, that is, red and white machines, and sells game cartridges to make money.

Yin Jun thought Yamauchi was a little ridiculous.

I have not achieved anything yet, but I am already so domineering.

If his Nintendo is dominating the home video game market, I don’t know if he wants to drive himself out of Japan directly.

After following a few words and asking him not to worry, Yin Jun hung up the phone.

The boy didn't care much about the pressure from Yamauchi. According to the current technical exhibition, it would take 1985 years to have the opportunity to make the game version of "Resident Evil" that was launched in 1985. In fact, in Yin Jun's opinion, it was a bit difficult. Only in 1995, 1995, will it really be an epoch-making beginning.

When I think that it will take at least several years or even more than ten years to make video games, what does Yin Jun care about now?

In just a few minutes, the phone ringed again.

"Hey, hello." Yin Jun answered the phone.

"Hey, I am Mr. Yin of Yamauchi. May I ask if you have any changes in your ideas after considering it?" A slightly proud voice from the other side of the phone came from the other side of the phone.

"Sorry, Mr. Yamauchi, the technical conditions for making games are not yet mature, so I haven't changed my mind." Yin Jun said lightly.

"Haha, now it's not mature, then it will mature in the future." Yuuki Yamauchi smiled, "Otherwise, let's negotiate the contract first, you get the money first. As for when to open it, you don't have to worry about it, okay?"

Yin Jun frowned, thoughts moved, and asked, "If I were to sell the copyright, what would Mr. Yamauchi bid?"

"The Resident Evil project is something we, Nintendo, valued very much. I am willing to pay $10,000 to buy the right to disconnect. What do you think?" Yamauchi said, "This price is world-class."

The boy shook his head and laughed.

According to the global average US dollar price of Resident Evil O, a total of more than 50,000 copies were sold, so the value of the game is US$150 million.

Not to mention that there are a total of 20 versions of "Resident Evil", as well as the difference between the hardcover version and the regular version, which has brought about a total of more than 200 million US dollars in revenue.

Even if all the fees are added, the Resident Evil game can bring 800 million US dollars in net profit.

And without the authorization of "Resident Evil" comics, there is no way to do electronic games.

Hiroshi Yamauchi certainly didn't know that the game "Resident Evil" can make so much money, but the price of 10,000 US dollars seems to be too sincere for this best-selling comic with more than 20,000 copies worldwide per episode.

And this is not a simple authorization purchase, but a buyout, which means that the future "Resident Evil" video games have nothing to do with Yin Jun.

Seeing Yin Jun not speaking, Yamauchi continued, "Mr. Yin, please don't hesitate anymore. The price I gave is definitely the highest. If you don't agree today, then if you want to sell this copyright in the future, I'm afraid you can only give less money... You know what I mean."

Yin Jun smiled, "Why, Mr. Yamauchi, are you threatening me?"

Yamauchi Hiroshi couldn't expect Yin Jun to break up and said, and after a little stunned, he said, "Mr. Yin misunderstood. I just want you to understand that the electronic game market is not a familiar field. In this industry, there are still some rules that you need to adapt to. Only Nintendo can give you the greatest benefits!"

"Mr. Yamauchi, don't regret it." Yin Jun smiled and hung up the phone.

Yamauchi Hiroshi held the phone that was hung up, but a smile appeared on his face.

When he thought that Yin Jun had no other choice, he could only surrender to himself.

10,000 US dollars is not a small amount. Yin Jun wouldn’t be wasted such a money, right?

Little did he know that just when Yamauchi was proud, Yin Jun had a scheming in his heart.

If Hiro Yamauchi just contacted the electronic game design company to ban him, Yin Jun felt that it was nothing, and at most he thought Hiro Yamauchi was just stingy.

But he didn't vent his anger after banning it. Now he came to threaten himself again, and he seemed to be determined to take it. Yin Jun felt that if he didn't teach him a lesson, he really didn't know that Prince Ma had three eyes!

Sitting on the sand, Yin Jun began to think about how to cheat Nintendo.

Nintendo's most famous weapon is two levels.

One is the red and white machine.

One is gameboy.

The prototype of gameboy is gameamp;amp;ath. Whether in terms of function or appearance design, there is definitely no way to bypass it.

Moreover, gameboy requires a lot of games to fill, otherwise it will be an empty shell, and Yin Jun has no way to use it even if he holds it.

But on the red and white machine, Yin Jun has more places to do things.

First, what is the most eye-catching thing about the red and white machine?

Isn't it the cross key button?

In my previous life, it was precisely because Nintendo firmly controlled the "up, down, left and right" buttons on the cross keys on the gamepad that Sega's Sega Saturn, Sony's Ps, and Microsoft's-bo were unable to use this classic design, so that various complex designs were used to make up, down, left and right keys.

Of course, these companies are not good people either. For example, Sony's separate up, down, left and right keys have also applied for patents, and others are not allowed to use them.

But no matter how you compare it, Nintendo's cross key button is recognized by people after 2018. As soon as the patent for the best up and down left and right buttons expired, Microsoft's-bo immediately changed to the cross key, which shows how obvious its advantages are and how popular it is!

It is now 198o. Except for the Yarida company on the other side of the ocean, it has dominated the United States with home video game consoles, Japan's home game console market is occupied by Nintendo.

Sega is now also starting to make home gaming consoles, but it is far from mature.

Except for a few of them, Yin Jun didn’t know any famous electronic game console manufacturers.

But Yin Jun knows that it is the patent for Nintendo's handle cross keys, which expired in 2oo5 years.

Generally, foreign countries, including Japan, design patents have a period of 20 years before the 90s, and the United States has only 17 years!

However, some countries count 20 years from the date of application, while some countries count 20 years after the promulgation of the patent.

No matter which one, Yin Jun feels that Nintendo has not applied for a patent for the cross keys now.

Because it was regressed for 20 years, it was the patent protection method adopted by Japan in 1985.

Even the Japanese mainland has not applied for a cross key patent. Can Nintendo's US branch, which will not open until around June?

Since they did not apply, Yin Jun took the patent as the first choice.

Who told you that Hiro Yamauchi is so awesome?

After I have seen it for a few years, how can you be awesome?

Without such a classic cross key method, how can your red and white machine attract game fans?

Then I will give Sega the authorization and let it chase you Nintendo to fight. That must be a very pleasant thing!

If Yamauchi Hiroshi was predicted by Weibu, he would probably be so angry that he would explode.

I am a good thing I know, but someone else applied for a patent for me and then threatened myself. I don’t mention the frustration in it!

I really want to die, I can't blame anyone! 8
