"President, do you really promise them to print 1 million cassettes for the first time?" Miyamoto said incredulously after Tian Jizhi and Jia Yapeng left.
Miyamoto has never seen such a ferocious printing volume of 1 million cassette tapes printed for the first time.
But the problem is that these are the sequels of well-known game IP, which can only have the number of burning. You know, when the Super Mario Brothers burned for the first time, they only burned 100000 copies.
Of course, in less than a week, all the 100000 copies were sold out, so that they had to burn 2 million copies.
After that, the Super Mario Brothers sold each issue, and the burning volume of the first issue was about 5 million.
But that's the Super Mario Brothers, the most terrible game in history. How can Pokemon be compared with the Super Mario Brothers.
"I don't know, Mr. Tian Jiri, when he became so arrogant!" Miyamoto sighed. He felt that this Tian Jiri Zhi and the Tian Jiri Zhi he knew didn't seem to be alone.
"No, they are not arrogant. I believe Pokemon can sell 1 million Fusang's total sales in less than a year! They see their games very thoroughly." Yamauchi Pu shakes his head "This is a very excellent game, but also a game type that has never appeared. This is really a game full of genius creativity. It can't be included in Nintendo's hands. It's a huge loss!"
"In fact, I could have pocketed this game today, but it was the secretary who ruined my plan!" Yamauchi's face turned black, then looked at Miyamoto Mao and asked, "Miyamoto, you said you and tianjijun were friends. Do you know the secretary?"
"I don't know!" Miyamoto shook his head. "I've never seen this man. In fact, I went to Tian Jijun once three months ago and communicated with him about the production process of the game, but I didn't see the Secretary in the company."
"It seems that he is a new member of the company. This person is not a small obstacle for us!" Pu shook his head and said, "Gong Benjun, do you think Tian Jizhi will be willing to sell if we buy Tian Jizhi's company directly?"
"I think I need a chance!" Miyamoto said. "I know Mr. tianjiri very well. He doesn't care much about money. He only cares about his games."
"I heard that Pokemon encountered difficulties in its development before. I wanted to suggest that the company invest in tianjijun's company in exchange for equity."
"But Mr. Tian Jiri seems to have received financial support from other capital. I think the secretary is probably sent by the investor to supervise Mr. Tian Jiri. I asked Mr. Tian Jiri what the equity composition of the company is and how many shares he still has, but Mr. Tian Jiri always avoided talking about it. There should be an agreement that bound him and made him unable to answer this question!"
"From this point of view, this foreign capital, even if it does not control the company, at least occupies a considerable part of the equity, which can limit tianjijun's behavior!"
"If we can't beat the capital behind this stock and want to buy tianjijun's company and get the copyright of Pokemon, it will become a very difficult thing!" Miyamoto said.
"That's what I'm worried about!" Yamauchi nodded. "So I agreed to their request. They want to print 1 million copies for the first time, so give them 1 million. Anyway, we can make a net profit of 1 billion. Why not?"
"However, one month after the sale, we will settle with them for the first time, and then the 1 billion yuan will be deducted from their sales share. If their sales are less than 1 billion yuan, they must pay this fee!" said Yamauchi Pu with a smile "No capital will like a company that does not make money but loses money. And this is our opportunity. As long as we communicate with them at this time and propose to buy their company, I don't think they will refuse!"
"Hey!" Miyamoto's mouth immediately replied, but his heart was cold.
Such an opportunity is obviously based on the initial sale of Pokemon with extremely poor results, otherwise the other party's capital will not give up the game of Pokemon.
As the platform side of the game, if Nintendo wants to suppress the sales of a game, it's simply too easy.
Just don't give any publicity, and then put the game card tape in the most inconspicuous position in the store, then an excellent game will become the tears of the times.
At that time, it's normal to sell no more than 1000. Nintendo has a lot of such games.
At that time, the Pokemon will first print a million, but the sales volume is less than 1000. The capital behind it will throw away the Pokemon and the Rockets company like garbage, and this is the opportunity that Yamauchi Pu wants.
I only pity Tian Jiri Zhi. I'm afraid he will be the victim of the competition between the two sides. That's too sad!
Although Miyamoto felt sorry for his good friend, Miyamoto's loyalty to Nintendo was beyond doubt, so he would only faithfully execute Yamauchi's orders.

Fami Tong is one of the most famous game magazines in Fusang. It has the most comprehensive game information of Fusang. All loyal fans of Fusang will choose to order a copy of fami Tong as their reference for the game.
There is a program in fami Tong that attracts readers' attention, that is, fami Tong will announce the list of games Nintendo will sell next month in the third issue of each month.
At this time, Nintendo is invincible in the home console market and handheld market, and there is no match in the world. Even a competitor can not be found. Therefore, the latest Nintendo games released by fami Tong basically represent most of the console games in the world next month, which can not be missed for fans.
But in fact, those famous masterpieces don't have to wait until this time to release the news. They began to warm up a few months ago. However, once you get on the "fami Tong" preview of next month's works, the sale will become a certainty, and readers will habitually choose the games they want to buy next month according to the information on "fami Tong".
Even for many extreme Nintendo game lovers, buying two or three game cassettes a month is already a very luxurious thing. After all, the average price of a game cassettes is about 5000 yen, which is equivalent to 110 a month for ordinary people.
So when buying games, you should be very careful. You must choose those interesting games, otherwise you will waste your precious money.
In this issue of the weekly, "fami Tong" often uses dozens of pages to introduce these newly listed games.
Although there is no explicit provision, familiar readers know that fami Tong has different expectations for these games.
The game with the highest expectation can have four full color pages and thousands of words of game information to introduce all the news of the game in all aspects, so as to arouse the curiosity of readers.
This time, the first one is the GB version of final fantasy 5, which is full of four color pages.
However, because the FC version of final fantasy 5 has been available for a long time, everyone is clear about the specific playing methods and contents, and fami Tong has no new information to write. We can only guess whether there will be any exciting changes in this GB version compared with the FC version, whether there will be an additional story ending, or some new monsters or characters, Weapons and props.
Anyway, four color pages have been written for all kinds of speculation. It doesn't matter if they are wrong. The other is just speculation.
Under the highest expectation of four color pages, it is a popular game with two color pages.
Then there is a selection of games with one color page.
Then there is the expectation game of sharing one color page with 1 ~ 2 works.
As for all the remaining games not mentioned, they will focus on the last page. There will be no specific content and comments on them, only a simple line of game name and development company.
This page is habitually called a garbage dump by readers of fami Tong, which means that only garbage will appear in the introduction of this page.
In this issue of fami Tong on April 21, 1993, the game Pokemon produced by the Rockets appeared in the garbage, and it was the last place in the garbage.
