Chapter 353

"Mr. Yamauchi, why do you force me to this extent?" Jia Yapeng's face turned into a bitter gourd face.

"I didn't force you!" Yamauchi shook his head. "I'm just implementing our consistent rules. All game cassettes with sales of less than 5000 will be forcibly taken off the shelf in a month. There is no exception. I don't target anyone. Garbage should leave the stage and let more excellent games get attention."

"At the beginning, I reminded you to be careful in the first printing. Printing 50000 copies of a new game has been very risky. You have to print 1 million copies, which has nothing to do with us. It's your arrogance that hurt you!" Yamauchi Pu said faintly.

Yamauchi Pu said this. Obviously, he has made up his mind to get the Pokemon off the shelf. This is not the result that can be changed by negotiation.

"Well, we are really arrogant!" boss Jia sighed. "But Mr. Yamauchi, once Nintendo decides to get off the game, can we sell it ourselves?"

"It's impossible!" Yamauchi immediately refused. "Even the goods taken off the shelves by Nintendo can't be sold without the permission of Nintendo!"

"Really!" Jia Yapeng exclaimed, "but I remember that's not what the contract says!"

"No way, that's what the contract says!" Yamauchi subconsciously retorted. The cooperation treaty between Nintendo and a third-party game company was drawn up by Yamauchi himself. He remembered every rule clearly.

All games released on the Nintendo platform, their life and death will be firmly in the hands of Nintendo. Yamauchi doesn't remember that there will be a clause in the contract that allows third parties to sell Nintendo games by themselves.

Yamauchi has always believed that if you want to maintain the game quality of Nintendo camp and Nintendo's own profits, you must control the sales channels of all game cards.

All game cassettes must and can only be sold by Nintendo. Any third-party enterprise, even the game developer, can only share, and must not sell by itself.

Therefore, Yamauchi Pu's third-party Cooperation Treaty has stuck all third-party sales channels, and will never give any third-party sales opportunities.

So Yamauchi Pucai denied such a decisive decision. How could there be such a loophole in the terms of the contract he designed!

"No, I remember!" boss Jia touched his head and shouted, "I remember. It is stipulated in Article 23 of the contract. Due to the wrong estimation of the third-party game company, there are too many game cards burned, and the sales volume is more than 50% of the total burned volume."

"The third-party game company must be responsible for its own mistakes and purchase the excess sales tapes in full according to the burning price!"

"Chairman Yamauchi, there is such a rule, right?" Jia Yapeng said.

"So what?" Pu frowned.

Of course, Yamauchi Pu knows this rule in the contract, because this rule was drawn up by Yamauchi Pu himself. The purpose is to prevent too many cassettes from burning, but they can't be sold, resulting in losses.

Therefore, Yamauchi Pu specially customized this rule, which can transfer the full amount of the losses to the third-party game company, which is why Miyamoto asked Tian Jiri Zhi to pay the burning fee of 1 billion yen just now.

Anyway, you miscalculated the number of the first print. What's the matter with Nintendo.

Just, what does Jia Yapeng do with this rule?

Shan Neipu was puzzled.

"However, I remember that there is a supplementary clause in Article 21, that is, after the third-party game company has fully purchased the excess game tapes, the third-party game company, in order to make up for the loss, allows the third-party game company to sell these game tapes on its own without paying Nintendo 50% of the share in advance and reducing the price!"

"Chairman Yamauchi, there is this clause in the contract. I remember it right!" Jia Yapeng asked with a smile.

"...." Yamauchi Pu stopped talking. If Jia Yapeng didn't mention this, he really didn't remember this clause. But once Jia Yapeng mentioned it, nashannei Pu immediately recalled it. After all, this is the clause He personally drafted.

It is true that there is this clause in the contract, but this clause has never been triggered, let alone used by a third-party manufacturer.

Why?

The reason is very simple, because the manufacturer will not spend money to implement this supplementary agreement at all.

Because this supplementary agreement will only be triggered when the inventory of the game exceeds 50% of the total production and Nintendo takes the initiative to take it off the shelf.

This means that this game is definitely a junk game, at least a game that can't be sold in the market.

In this way, the manufacturer is certainly not happy. He not only has to spend money to buy the card back, but also is not allowed to sell it himself. Isn't he taking the initiative to throw the money into the pond? After discovering this, many small manufacturers directly choose to explode themselves. Even if they close down, they will never buy back these game cards.

This makes Nintendo a little troublesome, so Yamauchi Pu made a change in the rules and let the manufacturers sell by themselves, but before selling, he had to pay Nintendo's profits.

Nintendo's logic is very simple, because once he is out of Nintendo's control, they don't know how many game cards the manufacturer has sold.

Therefore, Nintendo requires manufacturers to pay Nintendo's share first, so that Nintendo can earn the original share no matter how much the manufacturers finally sell.

Of course, considering the need to pay the share in advance and the fact that the game itself is not easy to sell, Nintendo has rarely reduced its own sales share by 50%.

For example, after paying 1000 burning fees for the Pokemon at the price of 3999 this time, 200 of the remaining 2999 are the profits of retailers, and the remaining 2800 was originally divided equally by Nintendo and the Rockets, and everyone was divided into 1400 yen.

However, under the premise of supplementary terms, Nintendo's share will be halved from 1400 to 700 yen, provided that the money must be paid in advance by the Rockets.

You see, Nintendo's calculation is so good that if you want to sell your own unsold cassette tapes, you have to pay a large share first.

Which game company can stand it. It would have to pay 1000 yen a piece, but now it has to pay an additional 700 yen. Who can bear NIMA.

So even if Nintendo later designed this clause, there were few enterprises that were really willing to spend money to implement it to buy their own sales right. Over time, even Yamauchi himself soon forgot this clause.

Until now, Jia Yapeng has taken the initiative to mention it.

"Chairman Yamauchi, if we are willing to pay a total of 700 million, then we can sell Pokemon by ourselves, right?"

"That's right!" Yamauchi nodded subconsciously.

"That's all right!" Jia Yapeng took out a check for 700 million yen from his pocket and handed it to Yamauchi PU. Then he smiled and said, "Chairman Yamauchi, you really made money lying down!"

Yes!

Yamauchi Pu didn't have to do anything. He just took advantage of the platform and the overlord treaty. After paying a little burning cost, he received a huge sum of 1.7 billion yen, which is almost equivalent to Nintendo's total sales in Fusang in the last month. It's really a business that makes a lot of money lying down!

Pu in the mountain was afraid of dreaming and would wake up with a smile.
