The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 656 Interview [Additional]

"Authorization of all cultural products!" Hearing this condition, Iwata felt a lot more at ease. At least the conditions for IP authorization are negotiable, and Hiroshi Yamauchi, a tyrant, has never restricted the business of IP authorization. The price is right, and all IPs under Nintendo can be licensed.

It's just that this authorization method needs to be confirmed.

"Huang Sang, I need to confirm with you, are you talking about authorization, exclusive authorization, or IP sale?" Satoshi Iwata asked rhetorically.

"I want to buy it, are you willing to sell it?" Huang He rolled his eyes, and then said, "I know your company's attitude, so I don't expect exclusive authorization. I only ask for the authorization of all cultural-related products of your company."

"You can authorize me or other people. Your company can obtain unimaginably low-priced chips without paying any price. If you are still dissatisfied with such conditions, there is really no way to continue Let's talk!" Boss Huang said with a sneer.

"Naturally, we can negotiate this condition!" Iwata said, and then he began to think about it. Nintendo has a lot of IPs, and the most valuable ones are undoubtedly Mario, Pokémon, Zelda, etc. And a series of IP products related to games.

However, Nintendo's game IPs die from drought, and die from waterlogging.

For IPs like Pokémon and Mario, thousands of manufacturers want to purchase licenses every year.As for the remaining unknown game IPs, there are very few people interested in them.

60% of Nintendo's game IPs have not been purchased by any manufacturer for a year. In general, in terms of IP sales, Nintendo can probably bring tens of billions of yen in sales in a year.

However, if this deal is concluded, it will be calculated based on the purchase of up to 1 million chips, which will be 60% cheaper. On average, it will be about 400 yen cheaper, and the total purchase cost will be 400 billion yen. This figure It has already exceeded the price of Nintendo's IP licensing for the whole year.

Of course, this number is a limit number, which is actually impossible to achieve, but Satoru Iwata is sure that he can save at least 200 billion in costs, so this transaction is undoubtedly extremely profitable.

"Huang Sang, how long does the authorization you want last?" Iwata Satoshi then asked.

"Forget it, I'll explain it to you once and for all!" Boss Huang said, "The time for IP authorization is the time for us to start cooperation on memory chips. I will give you memory chips for as many years as you sign the IP authorization." Discount. It’s just that this discount can only reach 60% at present, because the market will change in the future, the price of chips will continue to drop, and our profit margin will continue to decline. At present, we have to reduce the price by 60%. Less cost."

"If the overall cost rises in the future, but the market price falls, then the 60% discount will not be sustainable and needs to be renegotiated and signed, so both of us have the right to terminate the cooperation at any time in the next year and renegotiate the relevant conditions !By the way, I can only grant discount authorization for chips below 500MB. The price and cost of more than 500MB are not the same.”

"Also, our Jiangnan Group has the right to investigate and know about the use of all chips. Once we find out that your company has not used the chips in game consoles and related products after purchasing them, but instead used them in other products or simply sold them to If it is a third-party company, then we will charge 10 times the liquidated damages as compensation!" Huang He drank his saliva, and then continued
"In terms of authorization, what we are asking for is the authorization of all Nintendo products. Whether it is a product that has been launched or a product that will be launched in the future, as long as it is within the contract period, we have the right to use it. Of course, these cultural IPs are only Only products belonging to the Jiangnan Group can be used." Huang He said.

"..." Satoru Iwata thought for a while, and then said, "I would like to add two things, first, the authorization of IP is limited to the use of non-video game products, and these IPs must not be used on any products related to video games! "

"Second, our IP authorization is limited to companies directly controlled by your company, and it is also not allowed to be transferred to third-party companies in any way."

"Okay, but I have an additional condition, that is, this is a secret act, and neither party is allowed to leak this agreement!" Boss Huang said.

Just kidding, if other companies know that they are selling chips at a 4% discount, they may immediately fall into chaos.

"Okay!" Satoshi Iwata also agreed very decisively. The low purchase price of memory chips can conceal its own production costs, thereby causing unexpected results to competitors. This is what Nintendo needs.

Ever since, this cooperation agreement has been basically reached. Although Nintendo's board of directors still needs to approve it, I believe that those people on the board of directors will never refuse this condition.

After all, this cooperation condition seems so perfect. Nintendo does not need to pay a penny. It only needs to authorize the IP to obtain a real reduction in procurement costs. This is a price adjustment they cannot refuse.

The next thing to do is the work of the subordinates. They will implement these agreements, and then sign and seal the agreements to take effect.

It seems that Makoto Ito's workload will start to increase extremely again.

"Come out! Come out!" Muto Yugi was still in the hidden position outside the VIP passage, and I was excited to find that the yellow crane came out of the VIP passage.

Muto Yuki was really excited at this time. You must know that after the press conference, Muto Yuki squatted here for nearly three hours, and the whole person was about to squat numb. At least dozens of red marks were left on his body, and it was almost dark at this time.

Fortunately, the yellow crane finally came out from the VIP passage, Yugi Muto gritted his teeth, and then patted his cheek vigorously, making his blood boil, and then suddenly got out of the grass where he was hiding , Pounced directly on our boss Huang.

Then in the next second, five or six people around Boss Huang acted instantly. Before Yugi Muto realized what happened, he felt that his limbs were being controlled almost at the same time, and then completely lost his ability to move.

"Boss, go away, I'm afraid it's not safe here!" the head of a bodyguard said with some fear.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm a reporter, Mr. Huang He, I'm a reporter here to interview you, I have a few questions I want to ask you, please give me a few chances!" Muto Yugi knew that he was given by Huang He's bodyguard He blocked it, so he quickly exhausted his life's strength, tearing his throat and shouting.

"Reporter!" Boss Huang's expression moved slightly, and then he said with a smile, "Since you are a reporter friend, don't treat him so roughly, let him come over!"

Hearing Boss Huang's words, the bodyguards let go, and Yugi Muto hastily sorted out his wrinkled clothes, as well as various leaves of plants and trees attached to the surface of the clothes... He even found a caterpillar from his sleeve , and then walked to Mr. Huang He and said, "I am very glad to meet you, Mr. President. I am Muto Yugi, a reporter from "Game Guide". I am very glad to have the opportunity to interview you!"

This Muto game's speaking skills are very high. Boss Huang didn't agree to his interview at all, but in his mouth it turned out that he had already agreed.

"Muto Yugi?" Boss Huang was stunned for a moment, then looked at his hair and said with a smile, "Your hair isn't that cool either!"

"If you need it, I can make them all stand up tomorrow!" Yugi Muto hurriedly grabbed his hair and lifted it up, like he was grabbing a duck around his neck. His appearance was very interesting.

"Hahaha!" Boss Huang couldn't help laughing a few times, and then said, "If you have any questions, just ask, and I will try my best to answer your questions. But my time is limited, and you only have 3 minutes!"

"Yes!" Yugi Muto nodded vigorously. When he was squatting outside the door, he had already sorted out the questions he wanted to ask several times, and then he opened his mouth and said, "Excuse me, are you from Huaxia Jiangnan Group?" Chairman, and Chairman of 00 Game Center, President Huang Hehuang?"

The first thing Muto Yuki had to do was to confirm the identity of the other party, although he had asked his colleagues to search the Internet through a blurry photo he took, and then came up with the amazing identity of the chairman of Jiangnan Group.

But after all, this is just a blurry photo, and it still needs to be confirmed.

"I was right!" Boss Huang admitted.

"Then President Huang, are you coming to Fuso this time to attend the Nintendo DS launch event?" Muto Game asked.

"more or less!"

"Then you must be a loyal player of Nintendo and love the games developed by Nintendo very much!"

"I haven't actually played Nintendo games much, but I think a lot of the games Nintendo makes are really good!"

"Then why did you make a special trip to attend Nintendo's NDS launch event? Do you know that you are the only president of a large company that bought hundreds of billions of yen at the scene, which is unique" asked Muto Game .

"Oh, President Iwata of Nintendo invited me to come..." Boss Huang smiled and answered the question very simply, which made Muto Games very satisfied.He had interviewed those big shots before, but he had never answered questions so simply.

Then he asked a lot of questions related to NDS, and when the 3 minutes were about to run out, Yugi Muto felt ruthless, and then asked, "I think Nintendo specially invited you to this press conference. Other intentions. I wonder if your company plans to cooperate more with Nintendo?"

This is a question directly related to company secrets. Although Muto Games asked it out, I felt that Huang He would not answer this question, and then I heard Huang He say, "Well, President Iwata is very fond of Blizzard Games under our group. Interested, we discussed a lot about all the products of Blizzard Games entering the console market..." Boss Huang said with a smile.
