In the following years, the development of Japanese car companies was hindered and they suffered various suppressions from the outside world.
The quality of Japanese cars in that era was no problem, and they were synonymous with high quality and low prices.
However, because it was too high-quality and low-priced, it resulted in a high trade surplus, which also had a huge impact on employment in the United States, triggering a wave of nationwide protests. In the end, the Japanese car companies could not bear the pressure and succumbed to the pressure of the United States.
The United States builds factories to give Americans jobs, but also uses various compromise methods such as restricting exports and canceling domestic tariffs, which is quite humiliating.
Then Japanese car companies entered a long period of downturn, and sales in the United States were no longer what they used to be.
But in fact, those car companies have always been very ambitious and have always wanted to regain their position, but they just suffered from lack of channels.
During that time in the United States, even if they made promotional advertisements, they would be strictly reviewed to ensure that they would not affect the United States' own interests.
Later, Youxing Electronic Entertainment took the initiative to go to these car companies and said that their video games would be sold in the United States. If they could obtain their authorization, they would also benefit from it, which was equivalent to helping with publicity in disguise.
At that time, these Japanese car companies didn't take it seriously. They just thought it was a publicity channel. They didn't even ask for a licensing fee and agreed to let Zhuyu Xing use their trademark to appear in the video game.
Then, the hundreds of thousands of sales of Need for Speed immediately made people in the United States remember Japanese cars again.
According to the statistical sales data of several Japanese car companies in the past month or two, they have all increased their sales by at least four to five percent.
This was something that surprised them. They didn't expect that an unintentional investment could be exchanged for a worthwhile return.
And this, of course, was seen by the always shrewd Germans.
They have always been good at doing business in the past, and they also have strong market insights.
What's more, Youxing Electronic Entertainment had taken the initiative to find them before, so they were naturally more attentive.
When they saw that Japanese car companies seemed to have generally increased sales in the United States, they immediately set their sights on Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and offered to license it for free, hoping that their car brands could appear in Need for Speed.
Zhu Youxing originally thought that it would take at least half a year for this matter to ferment, but he did not expect that their acumen was very high.
Or maybe most people in this world are more keen on business and creativity. The film and television market in Japan is far more developed than in previous generations. This is an example.
Of course, Zhu Youxing had no reason to refuse this request.
If a racing game does not have the brand authorization of a genuine car company, its influence and sales will be greatly reduced in the future. The guns, cars, and teams in Gun Car Ball must be in line with reality. This is also the success of future generations.
experience.
Zhu Youxing fully agreed to the other party's request. Of course, the free authorization was not given in vain.
Zhu Youxing even wanted to directly sign a ten or twenty year licensing contract.
However, the other party is also a thief. They only allow free licensing for three years. If it exceeds the limit, a new contract will need to be signed. This makes Zhuyouxing a little regretful.
Then he promised that in the next Need for Speed 2, their car brand will be given a little more attention, and of course, it will be ranked behind the Japanese car companies.
After all, you are the latecomers. You looked down on the promotion ability of video games before, but now you find it profitable and want to join in, then you can only be inferior to others.
The person in charge of external affairs of the Rennes Brothers car company is a very talkative person. As long as Zhu Youxing agreed to register their car brand, he did not ask for any other requirements.
This guy is quite aware of current affairs.
As for some other well-known car companies, they have naturally discovered the reason for the increase in sales of Japanese car companies, but they seem to be a little embarrassed to take the initiative to find it, but want to wait for a small game company like Yuxing Electronic Entertainment
Come find them.
Of course, Zhu Youxing, a company like this, is not in a hurry, and he also hangs on them first.
Zhu Youxing stayed in the United States for more than half a month, watching forty or fifty new energetic employees enter the American branch to work officially, and then handed over some of the video game development tasks for the United States to them.
, and returned to Japan again.
The main reason why he returned to Japan was that the development of Final Fantasy 5 in Japan was already halfway through, and he needed to supervise it. There was also the parallel development of the new Dragon Quest trilogy.
Apart from Mario, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy are the two series that Takeyusei values most most right now.
This is still a bonus period for role-playing. If you miss this period, the popularity of the two games will immediately weaken, and future game sales will be greatly reduced.
As for the Legend of Zelda, Bamboo Games is planning to wait for the new console to be released before producing several classic works such as Skyward Sword and Dream Island.
Now let’s focus on the two semi-annual products, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.
Final Fantasy 3 and 4 were previously launched on GB and SFC respectively, and their sales results in Japan were also very good, with sales reaching close to one million now.
Moreover, Final Fantasy is also very popular in the United States, more popular than Dragon Quest. Obviously, Final Fantasy will definitely have greater potential in the future.
In addition to overseeing game production, Takeyusei also needs to continue to promote the development speed of Japanese game companies.
On its own, it is absolutely impossible to meet the needs of players.
Zhuyouxing needs more and more game companies to grow.
If an industry has only one leader, the industry will be very deformed, which is not conducive to the overall development.
Now, under the leadership of Takeyusei, game companies in Japan are springing up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, and the types of electronic games are increasing with time.
Last year, the average number of logged-in games for SFC and FC game consoles was only a dozen or twenty per month.
In the previous life of 2020, the number of games logged into the computer platform Steam alone every year exceeded 10,000.
Compared with this order of magnitude, he still has a long way to go.
But this year, the number of game logins in the third month has increased by an order of magnitude, to the point where there are more than 30 games every month.
Moreover, every game is considered to be excellent and of high quality, generally maintaining a three-star rating or above.
This once again enhances the overall style of sfc, which is equivalent to telling players that they can buy sfc games with their eyes closed.
As long as you are not interested in the genre, there is no unfun game.
The entire Japanese market is under the absolute dominance of Takeyusing, and several other companies developing consoles can only sit on the sidelines.
After all, the real sales volume is there. As long as you can log in to the video games on Youxing Electronic Entertainment, you will never have to worry about selling them.
