Coquettish Rebirth

Chapter 552 Forced to sell Pokemon rights?

Jia Hongjian never spoke to Wang Suizhou during the flight for several hours. After landing, Wang Suizhou left alone, while Jia Hongjian and others were greeted by Hatta Hideaki, Tajiri Satoshi and others. Take the Shinkansen to Kyoto (). [Just look for novel materials] When Jia Hongjian and the others finally arrived at the hotel and settled down, Tajiri Zhizhi asked Jia Hongjian a little worried after the reception banquet after drinking and eating: "President, are you really coming this time?" Do you want to promote our "Pokemon" to the American market?"

"That's right." Jia Hongjian nodded as a matter of course, and then he saw the hesitation on Tajiri Tomo's face and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, do you think Americans are all monkeys and their IQ is not enough for them to understand this rpg game?" What Jia Hongjian said was of course a joke. Originally, he wanted to make Tajiri Tomo laugh, but what made people laugh was that he really saw Tajiri Tomo's serious face, as if he totally agreed with Jia Hongjian's words, and didn't feel it at all. What a joke!

"Well, although it is a bit too much to say that they are monkeys, you must know that the IQ of the yellow race in Northeast Asia is the highest. Our average IQ is 110, while their whites only have 100. And in the United States? Their teenagers have different IQs. This kind of energy is too much to like all kinds of sports all day long, and playing guns or driving RPGs and other role-playing games is really not talented!"

God, is the thinking of Japanese gamers in the past so solidified?You must know that this is the era when Japanese games were most popular in the 90s!In the 21st century, it will be slowly surpassed by European and American game manufacturers in the fields of game creativity and technology!But think about it, if Ri's own thinking is not so solid, how can their later technology and even creativity be surpassed?

"Except for real monkeys, I generally think that everyone in the world is suitable for playing rpg games regardless of age!" Jia Hongjian said very seriously at this time, he is very serious about the market and opponents, "As a gamer, you should know Japan's "The Rhodes Island War"?" Jia Hongjian finished his question. [] Seeing Satoshi Tajiri nodding, he went on to say: "The Rhodes Island War is correct. If the impression is correct, it should have been planned by Japan in 87? The Rhodes Island War itself is a tabletop game. ? But do you know that this is a Japanese adaptation of European and American tabletop games? In fact, the first tabletop rpg game to appear in the United States is called "Dungeon and Dragon" ()!"

Yes.As a fake nerd, Jia Hongjian played a lot of games when he was young in his previous life, watched a lot of anime, and even watched "The Rhodes Island War".Later, in the 21st century, after learning about the legendary "Dungeon and Dragon", I curiously began to search the history of the entire board game. Later, Jia Hongjian was the first group of people who started playing board games in Shanghai, and even the first one in Shanghai. The board game restaurant was opened by a friend of Jia Hongjian!

What does this board game mean?Basically, many post-70s and post-80s have played games like "Strong Hand Chess" or "Monopoly". But there is a special category in such board games.That's a tabletop rpg -- a role-playing game played on the tabletop.The ancestor of this desktop rpg can be regarded as "Dungeon and Dragon" appeared in 1974.According to Jia Hongjian's understanding, there were no game consoles that were particularly full of fantasy colors back then, so people began to come up with such a game that mainly relied on imagination to imagine the situation and the picture!

This kind of desktop rpg is easy to play and complex to play. It is to give a certain number of points and then create a character that can be a mage, a warrior, or a thief.Then go on an adventure together in a certain context.During the adventure of several people. (Just find the material of the novel) A gm-like character is responsible for arranging mazes, designing monsters, and describing the current situation everyone is facing, and can even deliberately set players off!And players have to lead their characters to grow step by step under the description and rules stipulated by the GM, experience various things and finally pass the level!

Although such a board game sounds less attractive and more interactive than video games.But Jia Hongjian has learned about the "crazy characteristics" of some European and American game nerds!For example, in a certain game that Jia Hongjian played in his previous life, a player chose the role of bard, so in this online video game, this guy never used bard to fight monsters and level up, but damn it Like a bard, I beat some lyrics on the street every day, making it seem like I'm really singing!

It is even rumored that there will be a dedicated rpg server in some online games on foreign servers!What does it mean?That is to say, in this server, everyone is not allowed to be their real self, and they have to do their best to play their role in the game ()!All speeches should conform to the background of the game and the background of the characters as much as possible.What you do should try to match the game design and the character's background!And there are quite a few people playing such a "playing house" rpg server!

From this aspect, can it be said that Europeans and Americans don't know how to play role-playing games?In fact, in the middle and late 90s, when Japanese gamers finally started to bring rpg games to the American market, they finally discovered that Americans can actually play rpg!

Hearing Jia Hongjian's lecture, Tajiri Satoshi lowered his head, not knowing whether he listened or not.But Jia Hongjian didn't want to care too much.No matter what, since history can be a big hit, there is no reason why Jia Hongjian made the same foreshadowing so it shouldn't be a hit!

So the next day, Jia Hongjian brought Xiao Zhang and Tajiri Satoshi to Nintendo's headquarters. "You want to bring "Pokemon" to the American market? Impossible!" Jia Hongjian, who had just expressed his thoughts after the meeting, was directly rejected by the iron-blooded master Yamauchi Hiroshi! "Why is it impossible?" According to the habits of ordinary Japanese workers, this sentence would never be asked at such a time, but Jia Hongjian is not an employee of the family, so he asked directly!

Hiroshi Yamauchi glanced at Jia Hongjian, who seemed to be a little angry, but after seeing Jia Hongjian still didn't give up, the old man reluctantly said after a while, "What game will be operated in what market and when? This is our Nintendo. It’s up to the higher-ups to decide, you game manufacturers just make the game well!” While talking, Hiroshi Yamauchi’s aura of a du cai emperor suddenly radiated, but Jia Hongjian didn’t feel much at all. He's afraid of the aura of such a mere corporate boss if he dares to shake his face and leave on the spot.

"Hi!" Tajiri Satoshi next to him was so frightened by this aura that he trembled, his mouth bald, and subconsciously wanted to pull Jia Hongjian back.But Jia Hongjian didn't like this set! "Hey old man! How about we make a bet?" Jia Hongjian's words stunned everyone except Xiao Zhang!Why is it because Xiao Zhang doesn't understand the Japanese language... so the reason why others are stunned is that Jia Hongjian used some honorifics at the beginning, but the words just now don't use honorifics at all!Talking to the elders and the leader like this is like pointing at someone's nose and scolding in Japan ()!

"Mr. Jia!" At that time, Miyamoto Shigeru immediately stood up and sternly stopped Jia Hongjian, while Tajiri Satoshi directly stepped back and knelt down to apologize to Hiroshi Yamauchi, and kowtowed continuously!But Jia Hongjian's legs were slightly bent at this time, but they were still straight. "Hey, old man, I wanted to find a Japanese game company to make supporting games for our animation company's cartoons. Many people in China thought I was a fool. When I bought a company in Japan and started making games, I came to you Nintendo. You all think I’m a fool for saying how this game can sell 400 million yuan. What about now? How stubborn are you going to be? Are you going to make that bet or not?”

His questioning like this is simply a slap in the face of Japanese society, it is simply a rebellion!At that time, I saw the eyebrows of the old man Yamauchi moved, as if he was extremely angry!At this moment, Shigeru Miyamoto suddenly walked up to Jia Hongjian and knelt down, "The president, Mr. Jia, is too young and a foreigner to speak inappropriately. Please understand that he is very talented and very important to us at Nintendo." ...Don't cancel the contract with them!"

What?Could it be that such a question has already triggered a contract for Nintendo to act as an agent for games produced by Gamefreak?At this moment Hiroshi Yamauchi raised his eyebrows and said, "What is your game like?" "It's very simple. I brought a team with me to make electric bicycles in China. I came here to bring Chinese electric bicycles to the Japanese market. If I succeed and sell [-] units within a month, how about you agree to let me bring "Pokemon" to the American market?" Jia Hung-chien asked very easily and confidently.

"Then what are you going to do if you lose the bet?" Hiroshi Yamauchi suddenly asked, "If your sales volume is less than [-] units, how about selling the rights to this game and Gamefreak to Nintendo? Do you have such an awareness? ?”

What?If it sells less than [-] units, then in the end, not only will there be no way to let "Pokemon" enter the US market in advance, but even they will have to be forced to sell both the game company and the rights to the "Pokemon" series to Nintendo?This is a huge treasury!Historically, Nintendo survived the crisis by relying on the monster-level game "Pokemon"!
