Chapter 242: We don't need a CD

"Mr. Zhang, there are only 31 game companies that have signed a cooperation agreement with our company, and more than one hundred have invested in the arms of Changi Company, a few have invested in the Sega camp, and more are willing to trust heaven. "
Matsuda Shioji of the Huadao Fairy Company, made a phone call and reported the situation to Zhang Yang.
"What are the strengths of these thirty-one companies? Have you developed a particularly popular game?" Zhang Yang asked.
"They have companies that have developed good games, but they seem to be particularly popular. In fact, these companies belong to the second and third gears in the island country. The first gear companies are still the Nintendo and Sega camps."
It seems that those companies are still not optimistic about Zhiduoxing. Nintendo is still there. Even if Nintendo does not have a 32-bit game console, those companies dare not sell games to other companies, fearing that they will lose the world's largest platform.
"Okay, I know. You can help me contact Nintendo. I can help him get the VCD technology license and ask if they are willing to cooperate."
If you can cooperate with Nintendo, then you can work together to suppress the Shunyi company. The memory of the previous life tells him that Chang Ni is the big boss in the future. With a long-term strategy, he defeated Nintendo and reached the top of the industry.
And after Nintendo broke into trouble, both sides were in lawsuits, because the name PS was originally tailored for Nintendo.
It’s just that the demand of Johnny was too high. Nintendo felt that Johnny’s appetite was too big, so he turned to cooperate with Philips, and Johnny developed the PS himself, but Nintendo said that the name was from them, and Johnny was stolen. Nintendo's creativity.
In fact, Zhang Yang is very clear that this kind of thing is also a lawsuit between the two sides. It is a tacit agreement between the two sides. Through each other's fame, they can increase their company's exposure and brand awareness, and it is also a forced manufacturing.
The final result must be a settlement, and even the details of the settlement will not be announced.
The two companies are litigating, and the amount of compensation is so low that it is only enough for lawyers' fees. What is the company's plan? The picture shows that the relevant media will continue to report on this matter, let more game fans pay attention to their company, and notice some of their new moves.
Of course, if one party really has an obvious defeat, then no one will be soft-hearted and will definitely want to swallow the other party.
...
"The president, the president of the Huadao Elf Company, sent a fax saying that on behalf of the parent company Zhiduoxing, we asked if we had any idea of ​​cooperation."
"They can help us get the authorization of VCD technology, so that we can use CDs to store games, and are willing to cooperate with us in many ways."
Yamanouchi sneered: "The technology of VCD is not as mature as that of CD. Previously, Zhiduoxing took this opportunity to exclude some pirated games."
"The same storage capacity, even the production cost may still be on the CD, we can even refuse the company, why should we cooperate with Zhiduoxing?"
"President, but the reason why we refused to cooperate with Philips at the beginning was because our previous agreement stated that if the cooperation broke down, we could not cooperate with other companies on CD-ROM. This is VCD-ROM. , Different, isn't it what we need?" the subordinate advised.
Yamauchi shook his head: "Don't you forget that the amount of data stored on our cassettes can actually exceed that of optical discs. So why do we stay close and give up our advantages and cooperate with them?"
"Zhi Duoxing, a Chinese game company, has risen so fast. Their sales have exceeded 3DO, and they are ahead of PS and Saturn for the time being. Do you know what this means?"
"If we collaborate with Zhiduoxing and launch a VCD game console at the same time, then VCD will become mainstream and Zhiduoxing will develop faster."
"Now we are the first in the industry, but other companies are also eyeing our position. We should let other companies follow our standards, rather than we follow the standards of other companies."
Yamauchi was a little disappointed with his assistant. VCD is not a particularly advanced technology. Compared with CD, there is no improvement in the game console. Why should I put down my body to cooperate?
"President, I understand what you mean, but I heard that companies such as Shini and Songxia are researching VCDs, and many foreign consumer electronics manufacturers have been authorized. In addition to developing VCD format video recorders, they have also begun to intervene in games. Machine field."
"It is said that this format is more advanced than the CD and can continue to improve. The storage capacity is only about 700M at present, but it can double or even double in the future. By then, we will fall behind."
Yamauchi looked at his assistant: "Have you ever played hundreds of M games? And our cassette, can't we store hundreds of M of data? If their technology can be improved, ours can't?"
"Even if they have more potential for improvement in the future~EbookFREE.me~ Do storable games require that much storage space?"
"Even if it is really needed in the future, what would be difficult for us to buy it again? At least for now, we can't cooperate with Zhiduoxing Company and let Zhiduoxing Company grow."
"Zhiduoxing not only grabs our market on video game consoles, their handhelds and electronic pets are also snatching our main handheld market now. In terms of the company's development strategy, Zhiduoxing and Sega are our biggest Nian's opponents, Shini and Songxia, are not counted."
"Also, how did Zhiduoxing rise? Have you forgotten? They used the loopholes in the Chinese market to produce products that imitated our FC and also occupied the Eastern European market. Before you were asked to contact the Eastern European market, the other party was unwilling to cooperate with us. Right?"
"Another one you didn't find, Zhiduoxing's game console is actually compatible with CD game discs of other companies. However, they use different systems. The other party must have installed a compatible package in their own game console."
"This company has long planned to be compatible with game discs from other companies. If we do, believe it or not. In the future, our game discs will definitely have a large number of pirated products in the Chinese and Eastern European markets. At that time, The night of regret."
"But you don't refuse Zhiduoxing at all, you can test whether you are willing to let us invest in Zhiduoxing. If you can, then other aspects are easy to talk about."
Soon, Zhang Yang received a call from Matsuda Shiji, and learned that Nintendo actually wanted to buy shares in Zhiduoxing before talking about the next cooperation. Zhang Yang also understood the other party's attitude.
This attitude of Nintendo also makes Zhang Yang very unhappy. If so, let you know that the position of the Nintendo industry leader can't sit for a few years!
