Chapter 227 Free License

The development of Japanese car companies was hindered in the following years and suffered various pressures from the outside world.

The quality of Japanese cars in that era was no problem, and they were still synonymous with high quality and low price.

However, due to the high quality and low price, it led to a high trade surplus, which also had a huge impact on employment in the United States, triggering a nationwide protest wave. In the end, Japanese car companies could not bear the pressure and succumbed to the oppression of the United States. The U.S. built factories to give Americans jobs, and used various compromising means such as restricting exports and canceling domestic tariffs, which is quite humiliating.

Then Japanese car companies entered a period of downturn for a long time, and their sales in the United States were not the same as before.

But in fact, those car companies have always been very ambitious, and they have always wanted to find their way back, but they are suffering from no channels.

During that time in the United States, even if they were advertising, they had to be strictly reviewed to ensure that they would not affect the interests of the United States.

Later, Youxing Electronic Entertainment took the initiative to find these car companies, saying that their video games would be released in the United States, and if they could get their authorization, they would also benefit from it, which is equivalent to helping publicity in disguise.

At that time, these Japanese car companies didn’t take it too seriously. They just thought that this was indeed a publicity channel. They didn’t even ask for the license fee, and agreed to let Zhu Yuxing take their trademark to appear in the video game.

Then, the hundreds of thousands of sales of Need for Speed ​​immediately made the American people remember Japanese cars again.

According to the statistical sales data of several Japanese car companies in the past one or two months, they have increased their sales by at least 45%.

This is a surprise to them. Unexpectedly, an unintentional investment can be exchanged for a very valuable return.

And this, of course, was also seen by the shrewd Germans.

They have always been good at doing business in the past, and they also have strong market insights.

What's more, Youxing Electronic Entertainment had actively sought them out before, so they were naturally more attentive.

When they saw that Japanese car companies seemed to have generally increased their sales in the United States, they all immediately set their sights on Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, and offered to authorize it for free, hoping that their car brands could appear in Need for Speed.

Zhu Yuxing originally thought that it would take at least half a year for this matter to ferment, but he did not expect that their sensitivity was very high.

In other words, most people in this world are more sensitive in terms of business and creativity. The film and television market in Japan is far more developed than in the previous life is an example.

Of course, Zhu Yuxing has no reason to refuse this request.

If a racing game does not have the brand authorization of a genuine car company, its influence and sales will be greatly reduced in the future. The guns, cars, and teams in Guns and Cars must be in line with reality, which is also the success of later generations. experience.

Zhu Yuxing agreed with the request of the other party, and of course the free authorization is not for nothing.

Take Yuxing even wanted to directly sign a ten-year or twenty-year licensing contract.

However, the other party is also a thief. They only allow free authorization for three years. If they exceed it, they need to sign a new contract. This makes Zhu Yuxing somewhat regretful.

Then he promised to put a little more emphasis on their car brand in the next Need for Speed ​​2, of course, to be ranked behind the Japanese car companies.

After all, who made you a latecomer, you looked down on the publicity ability of video games before, and now you find it profitable and want to join in, you can only be inferior.

The external person in charge of the Rennes Brothers car company is a very talkative person. As long as Zhu Yuxing agreed to register their car brand, no other requirements were mentioned.

This is a guy who is quite knowledgeable about current affairs.

As for some other well-known car companies, they naturally found the reason for the increase in sales of Japanese car companies, but they seem to be a little too embarrassed to take the initiative to find them, but want to wait for a small game company such as Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. come find them.

This kind of company, Zhu Yuxing, is of course not in a hurry, and also hangs them first.

And Zhu Youxing stayed in the United States for about half a month, watching with his own eyes 40 or 50 energetic new employees enter the United States branch to officially work, and then hand over some of the video game development tasks for the United States to them. , and went back to Japan again.

The main reason for him to return to Japan is that the development progress of Final Fantasy 5 in Japan is halfway through, he needs to supervise it, and the parallel development of the new Dragon Quest trilogy.

Except Mario, Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy are the two series that Take Yusei is most valued by now.

It is still a bonus period for role-playing. If you miss this period, the popularity of the two games will immediately weaken, and future game sales will be greatly reduced.

As for The Legend of Zelda, that Zhu Yuxing is going to wait for the release of the new console to make several classic works such as Sky Sword and Dream Island.

Now, stabilize the two semi-annual goods of Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.

Final Fantasy 3 and 4 landed on GB and SFC respectively before, and their sales in Japan were also very good, and they have reached nearly one million sales so far.

And Final Fantasy is also very popular in the United States, more popular than Dragon Quest. Obviously, the future potential of Final Fantasy is bound to be stronger.

In addition to overseeing the work of game production, Take Yuxing also needs to continue to promote the development speed of Japanese game companies.

It is absolutely impossible to meet the needs of players by relying on one’s own family.

Zhu Yuxing needs more and more game companies to grow up.

If there is only one leader in an industry, the industry will be very deformed, which is completely detrimental to the overall development.

Under the leadership of Take Yusei, game companies in Japan have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, and the types of video games are also increasing over time.

Last year, the average number of logged-in games for SFC and FC game consoles was only a dozen or twenty games per month.

In the 2020 period of the previous life, the game that the STEAM family on the computer platform logged in every year has exceeded 10,000.

Compared to this order of magnitude, he still has a long way to go.

And this year, the number of game logins in the third month has increased by an order of magnitude, to the level of more than 30 games per month.

And each game is considered to be excellent, the quality is also very good, generally continue to maintain above Samsung.

This once again enhances the overall style of SFC, which is equivalent to telling players that they can buy SFC games with their eyes closed.

As long as you are not interested in the genre, there is no unpleasant game.

The entire Japanese market is under the absolute dominance of Zhu Yuxing, and several other companies that develop consoles can only drink soup on the side.

After all, the real sales are there, as long as you can log in the video games on Youxing Electronic Entertainment, you will never worry about selling them.
