Chapter 520 The Enthronement of the Han Dynasty 6
();
Although Liu Zhiyuan didn't say it, Lei Jun knew that at least the price of PS should not be raised. If it were to be raised, it would have to be the 2nd generation. And 2nd generation? He had no doubts about whether Hu Fu could win the PS again.
It’s a sure win! Because the Han Dynasty has already started developing the second generation of Tiger Talisman. Is it soon? They don’t even need to wait for the market’s feedback on Tiger Talisman. They have already started research and development.
Thinking of this, he looked at Liu Zhiyuan with admiration. His boss was indeed an extraordinary person. After the values of Tiger Talisman 2 were set, the entire development department was confused.
It's not that those parameters are too outrageous, no, to be precise, the parameters of the Hufu 2 generation are outrageous, outrageously high, but...
The Han Dynasty could do it! If it could do it, it wouldn’t be outrageous!
After Liu Zhiyuan explained a series of development steps for Tiger Talisman 2 in the development department, everyone discovered that they could really do it!
Whether it is the design concept of DVD discs or the enhancement concept of processors, it can all be achieved with the technology of the Han Dynasty!
Even if they can't do it temporarily, they can definitely do it in the next two years!
How much time did this save the Han Dynasty? How much waste did it save? He didn't believe that Sony's senior executives could design a console of this level.

Even if they can design it, I'm afraid it will take a lot of time. Maybe Sony has just started to develop the PS2 generation, and the Han Dynasty Tiger Talisman 2 generation will be completed and released.
"In the next month, you will be responsible for everything."
Liu Zhiyuan is really tired. It can be said that he did all the planning this time by himself. No one in the Han Dynasty can keep up with him.
Physically exhausted, he could still protest, but mentally exhausted, he could no longer lift his spirits. Seeing Norio Ohga admit defeat, he could no longer hold on.
"I will retreat behind the scenes and watch you this month. This is also a big test for you. Don't let me down."
Liu Zhiyuan leaned his head on the back of the chair and closed his eyes.
"I hope next time, one of you can keep up with me..."
Lei Jun said nothing because Liu Zhiyuan's last words were already inaudible.
"Click..."
He quietly left Liu Zhiyuan's office. No one knew as well as him how hard Liu Zhiyuan had been during this period.
"Hello, Mr. Li?"
"kindness."
"Mr. Liu said that we will be responsible for the next thing. Do you have any plans here?"
"..."
"Call Jack Ma, Ma Huateng and Shi Yuzhu to come over for a meeting."
"yes."
...
While the senior officials of the Han Dynasty were discussing the next steps, game-related practitioners around the world were watching this console war in stunned silence.
I thought that the Han Dynasty was sure of victory, but who would have thought that Sony would spend such a large amount of money, 199 US dollars! A console with this specification only sold for 199 US dollars! Isn't this a huge investment of money?
Of course, there are also smart people, and they have already noticed Norio Ohga's purpose.
"Sony!"
Okamura Hideki grabbed the newspaper in his hand. Because he used too much force? He could no longer read the newspaper.
"Damn! Norio Ohga and the others know how much we paid! Do they know!!!"
Fukushima Yasuhiro's face was also very ugly at this time? He was already prepared for the defeat in the console war, but what he couldn't accept was the big price reduction of Enix's games!
Although Norio Ohga has not notified them yet? But the prices of Nintendo and Sega games have been reduced, and they still want to hide away? Impossible!
Maybe the call will come next moment.
"Okay? President Okamura, it's useless to complain now. Let's think about how to solve the problem of game price reduction."
This sentence was like adding fuel to the fire. Okamura Hideki was so angry that he threw the newspaper to the ground.
“It’s impossible to lower the price of Konami’s games, don’t even think about it by one cent!”
The Sony Alliance is over. Even if the sales of PS increase, the Sony Alliance is over!
With Hiroshi Yamauchi's temper, he must be eager to kill Norio Ohga now? There is no possibility of further cooperation.
What's more, whether Sony will get involved in the game industry in the future is a big question. It needs to find a way out for Konami.
Nintendo has no plans to go back, so there is only one choice left, the Han Dynasty!
Konami has already missed two opportunities, and he must not miss it again this time. Even if the treatment is worse than Capcom and Namco, he will accept it.
If you stand in the wrong team, you will be punished by standing in the wrong team!
But the price of the game cannot be reduced no matter what? This is the capital that Konami gave the Han Dynasty to ask for conditions for joining!
It’s so difficult to raise the price of a game back after it’s dropped! It’s so difficult that the new sequel must completely surpass the previous one from beginning to end.
Who can guarantee that their own series of games will continue to surpass their predecessors? I’m afraid even Liu Zhiyuan can’t guarantee it. DDR’s popularity has declined, and the popularity of one person has declined.
He sees all this. Sometimes, if the game doesn't get better and better, players will just buy it!
Fatigue, this is the biggest problem of the series of games! In this world, even monsters like Liu Zhiyuan cannot guarantee that their games will always have new elements that can make players shine.
"I don't want to either, but the contract is there."
"Liquidated damages!!! Konami will pay the liquidated damages."
He is a little lucky now. He is lucky that Konami has only two games on PS this time. At the same time, he is also lucky that Nintendo and Sega have joined the game.
Fortunately, there are these two mountains in front of him to "protect from wind and rain", otherwise, he would not be able to pay the liquidated damages!
Contra has a liquidated damages of 10 million, and Salamander has a liquidated damages of 15 million. Konami can still come up with it despite gritting its teeth.
When he thought of the inexplicable loss of 25 million US dollars, Okamura Hideki could no longer control his emotions. He slapped everything on the coffee table in front of him and swept it to the ground.
This US$25 million is only liquidated damages, and there are also development costs for Contra and Salamander!!!
A breach of contract means that these two games cannot be logged into PS. Calculating this, Konami's losses this time may be as high as nearly 100 million US dollars!
Not everyone belongs to the Han Dynasty, but everyone belongs to a giant like Sony! A loss of 100 million US dollars is almost half the life of Konami!
"If Norio Ohga insists on lowering the price of our games, then..."
Fukushima Yasuhiro said unwillingly.
"As for Dragon Quest's liquidated damages of 20 million, Enix paid it!"
Dragon Quest is Enix's signature game, and it cannot lose its current status under any circumstances, otherwise... Enix will directly withdraw from the top third-party rankings!
Why does Enix, which is no longer a top third party, still want top treatment?
What's more, the Han Dynasty is really not inferior to Dragon Quest. The strongest game type in the Han Dynasty is RPG.
