Chapter 1484

[PS: Thank you readers: the leader of Huang's word family gives a reward]

Iwata found himself completely in a dilemma. Although tianjichi's non competition agreement compensation can make tianjichi responsible, it has nothing to do with Nintendo.

But if Tian Jiji embezzles Daqian's intellectual property rights, Nintendo can't escape.

Here is a common law for everyone. It doesn't mean that the copyright of animation or character cultural products completely designed by ourselves belongs to the creator.

First of all, it depends on whether the creators work in the enterprise when creating these cultural products, and then whether they are created in their work.

If so, the copyright of this cultural product belongs to the company and has nothing to do with the creator.

Of course, Tian Jizhi can argue that this was done in his spare time, not the copyright of the company.

However, it is generally difficult to find evidence for this kind of thing, unless the business scope of the company has nothing to do with Tian Jizhi's cultural products. For example, Tian Jizhi is responsible for moving bricks in a real estate company, and then he draws a Pikachu, which can basically be regarded as Tian Jizhi's own copyright.

But the problem is as like as two peas are playing games, and the contents of Pokemon and pet elf are exactly the same.

More importantly, Daqian has applied for cultural and intellectual property rights in advance for these stolen character images, which is basically the thing of Daqian. If Tian Jizhi files a lawsuit, he won't even win 0.001%.

These things have been used in pet elves. Once thousands of lawsuits are filed, Nintendo will lose a sum of money. These pet elves must be erased immediately and are not allowed to be used again.

But the problem is that the most popular elves in pet elves this time are the elves brought by Tian Jizhi, especially the water jumping fish. They are very popular and can be described as the popularity champion in pet elves.

If such pet elves are erased, God knows how much trouble will be caused.

So now Iwata is one of the first two, but the lawyer's letter of Daqian is indeed on his desk. If it is not handled, Nintendo will be charged with plagiarism when the court is officially opened.

Iwata Cong couldn't sleep for three days and nights until the fourth day. He finally narrowed for a while and suddenly received a phone call. Then an unexpected person appeared in front of him.

————————

"Mr. Arakawa, I didn't expect that we would meet in this attitude!" looking at Arakawa in front of me, Iwata Cong's expression was full of bitterness and strangeness.

When receiving Arakawa's phone call, Iwata Cong thought that the other party was just communicating with him. However, as soon as Arakawa reported his title, Iwata Cong was shocked.

Because now Arakawa has a title on his head and has become the president of Daqian game. He actually succeeded Zhong Yu and became the controller of Daqian game.

This change makes Iwata Cong deeply feel the malice of the world.

A few days ago, Ishikawa Arakawa was the abandoned pawn of Nintendo. He was the son-in-law abandoned by Pu Yamauchi and the loser ousted by himself. He should have been as pitiful as a drowning dog.

Who wants to get it? In the blink of an eye, this guy has become the global president of Daqian game and the controller of the world's No. 1 game enterprise.

Now Nintendo ranks second. Arakawa actually rode on his head in another way.

Although Nintendo still has the second place, in a few years, God knows if Heaven can be saved?

The most uncomfortable thing is that Arakawa is still holding Nintendo's weakness. He specially represents Daqian games to discuss this infringement with Nintendo.

"Yes, Mr. Mengjia likes it. I'm ashamed!" Arakawa sighed, which made Iwata Cong more uncomfortable.

"Isn't Mr. Arakawa afraid to see the old president in the future?" although Iwata Cong wants to ask this question, now Arakawa has an advantage, and Iwata Cong doesn't dare to provoke Arakawa.

Moreover, Arakawa is actually only the son-in-law of Yamauchi PU. What people want to see in the future is the ancestors of Arakawa family. What has anything to do with Yamauchi Pu? Yamauchi Pu is not qualified to scold him.

"Mr. Arakawa, I don't know what you're going to do this time!" Satoshi Iwata made himself as miserable as possible, and then looked at him. "Mr. Arakawa, we were still colleagues a few days ago, and you know Nintendo very well. Their company is in a bad situation now, so we can't accept more blows!"

"I know, so I came with a better solution!" Arakawa also said with a very sincere expression. "As long as Mr. Iwata can agree to my conditions, this event will pass, and the copyright of several pet elves can be completely transferred to Ren Tiantang!"

"Oh!" Iwata Cong was happy at first, and then keenly realized that there was no free lunch in the world. Since the other party offered such conditions, the price must be high.

"What do you want?"

"I want the legend of Zelda!" Arakawa said very simply.

"It's impossible!" Iwata jumped up and said, "Arakawa, don't you understand how important Zelda legend is to Nintendo? How can I sell this game to Daqian!"

"Oh, no matter how important it is, can there be Mario Brothers and Tetris important?" Arakawa said disdainfully.

"..." Iwata Cong was stunned. Although the Zelda Series in later generations was blown to the sky, in fact, in 1999, the Zelda series was actually an important game brand of Nintendo.

Although "Zelda · flute of time" has been on the market and has a good reputation, in fact, the sales volume is not very good. In particular, with the defeat of the N64, the sales of Zelda flute of time has fallen by about twice as much as that of the other world, and it is only less than 3 million copies so far, which is far from what Nintendo expected.

Nintendo is really the ace IP. In fact, it is still the Mario Brothers.

"But it's not just a few pet elves that can be replaced!" Iwata Cong refused again, but his tone was not as tough as before.

"Of course, this is not comparable, so we can also pay US $180 million to buy all the copyright of Zelda legend series!" said Iwata.

"180 million dollars!" Iwata really hesitated. After all, the total profits brought by Zelda series to Nintendo have not reached 80 million dollars so far. It seems that this price has sold the copyright of Zelda.

And if this $180 million can be recorded, Nintendo's financial situation will undoubtedly be much better.

At least this year's financial report will directly become positive, from loss to profit, and he can also explain to shareholders.

But vaguely, Iwata Cong felt that this was not enough. After all, the reputation of Zelda · flute of time was really good enough. All the players who bought the game were deeply attracted.

Only this game can only rely on the N64 platform at present, and the player base is too small, so it has no reputation in the game circle.
