please make money

At that time, many software vendors will gradually become full-fledged, and the attitude towards their brutal exploitation will also change from the previous "dare to speak out" to small-scale conflicts.

At that time, Hiroshi Yamauchi knew his mistake. He wanted to cheer up and work hard again, but investors would not give him any favors. The company's stock price would be cut in half, and he would also step down.

But ten years is too long, seize the day and night, Aliya is not interested in playing a game with this old man.

Laugh to death, you think I am the invincible hydrogen man Sea God Shura God, but you don’t know that I am actually Xiao Huohuo with the third stage of fighting power, with infinite potential in the future.

With the basic disk on the game side, the Ai Group's 2000 billion old base can be ruined by itself—well, make good use of it—and it's over, cool!

If you have a bottom in your heart, you will naturally be magnificent, and you will speak with a strong "what I say is the truth".

The same is true for Alia. She was not annoyed when she was rejected by the two executives. She just smiled and said that she would leave two suitable positions for them, and we will cooperate in the future.

Hiroshi Yamauchi was very upset, but he had nothing to say, and now he felt awkward.

You say you want to leave, you are the host, how can there be any reason to slip away in front of the guests?

But to continue getting along with each other, I have just brazenly bullied and trampled on the other party—who would have thought that someone could actually spend 100 billion yen without blinking an eye?

Alia, who has not had time to fool Mr. Lei, actually doesn't even have 100 yen on her body, but what she shows is that she has the courage to have 1000 billion to [-] billion yen.

She pointed to Shigeru Miyamoto, and chatted with Hiroshi Yamauchi with great interest: "President Yamauchi, is this an employee of your company?"

"...Not yet." Hiroshi Yamauchi twitched his eyes and forced a stiff smile.

"But I am very optimistic about him. He is the child of a friend of mine and he is very talented."

"I have the same opinion as you. I also think he is very talented—no, very, very talented! If there is someone who can change the video game industry in the future, there must be someone, Then I think Miyamoto-kun must be indispensable!"

The higher Alia's evaluation of Shigeru Miyamoto, the worse Hiroshi Yamauchi will be.

You must know that he also suppressed this young man a lot before, and he was going to boil his temper twice before he got it in his pocket.

If you express your opinion like this, should I praise him or belittle him?

As for the fact that talents are rare, Hiroshi Yamauchi doesn't really feel that much at the moment, after all, Shigeru Miyamoto at this moment is not the Shigeru Miyamoto he was later on.

If Shigeru Miyamoto was standing here three years later, and Alia even boasted that he was poaching people, Hiroshi Yamauchi would have to beat Alia out even if he lost his face.

Three years later, Shigeru Miyamoto will lead more than 400 developers, and use world-class technical strength to create a notebook and even the world's strongest home game development team, which is the predecessor of the "NC Information Development Department" in the future. "Mario 64", "Link - Crossed Out - The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time" and other classic works.

The importance of talents is self-evident, especially in the game industry, a supporting talent can even carry an entire club, he is the soul.

Back then, due to the commercialization of the old company's development and the deterioration of the internal environment, Yokoi Gunpei couldn't bear the high pressure from the club, so he chose to dismiss him and change to a new owner.

As a result, on the second day after resignation, Lao Ren's share price fell by the limit at the opening!

When he went to consortium B to develop Wonder Swan, which claimed to be able to rival the Game Boy, consortium B became even more popular for a while.

Then Junpei Yokoi had a car accident...

At that time, because the vehicle broke down, he got out of the car to check the damage of the car. During the inspection, he was hit by another car and died of his injuries.

At that time, the most widely circulated theory was that because of the fear of Yokoi Gunpei's genius design ability, Hiroshi Yamauchi, the president of Ren Hell, murdered Yokoi Gunpei.

The truth of the facts has long been untestable, and the current Yokoi Gunpei is still a talent valued by Hiroshi Yamauchi, and Miyamoto Shigeru is not Yokoi Gunpei's disciple.

So if this corner is dug up, what guilt can there be?

Aliya beckoned to the people around her, and Aunt Zhou listened to it a few times, then nodded.

A moment later, a thick envelope was delivered, along with a blank envelope, letter paper, and a pen-style brush that is very characteristic of notebook stationery.

That is to say, in terms of stationery, you can always trust the brains of the book, they can really make these small things with the details very useful...

In front of Hiroshi Yamauchi, Aliya waved her hand and it was two words - letter of appointment!

Don't look at the changing customs here, but it is traditional to use Chinese characters for official documents, and official documents are all Chinese characters plus a small amount of hiragana.

There is no need to bring a translation to show it to the Chinese people, just like the writings that were popular in Europe back then were in Latin.

Although they have carried out the reform of consistent language and writing, some changes have to be made. In the end, they can only come up with a combination of Chinese language training and reading.

So to be honest, they can't understand Alia's writing Chinese characters, so they just point to the nose of a "gentry" like Hiroshi Yamauchi and scold him for being uneducated.

The same is true for the letter of appointment. Aliya's handwriting itself is excellent, after all, it is one of the literary gold fingers that the protagonist always has.

When the pen falls, it is really as if hearing ghosts and ghosts, and seeing dragons and snakes walking away from time to time, it has a grand style.

At this level, no matter what, he must be at the level of a calligraphy fairy...

With the momentum, the content of the writing cannot be simple and straightforward, "You should not be humble when I hire you to develop a game today".

"Gai Wen said that the king is no higher than Zhou Wen, and the uncle is no higher than Qi Huan. They all wait for sages to become famous. 』

"Today the sages are wise, how can they be so ancient?" 』

"The trouble is that the owner does not make friends, and the scholar Xi Youjin?" 』

I heard that in ancient times, no sage king surpassed King Wen of Zhou, and no overlord surpassed Duke Huan of Qi. They all relied on sages to achieve fame.

Now the sages in the world are wise and talented. Could it be that only ancient times had such people?

What is worrying is that the monarch is unwilling to make friends. How can the magi be used?

Hey, it's very tasteful, you Miyamoto-kun is a talent, it's his loss that Hiroshi Yamauchi doesn't like you, I think highly of you!

He doesn't even want you if you leave the relationship, so I will accept it...

Eloquently wrote a revised version of Gaodi's Edict of Seeking Virtue, Alia put down her pen with satisfaction.

Although I offended the original author, Mr. Ban Gu, I'm sorry, I really need your masterpiece to help me complete this show.

Aunt Zhou dried the ink carefully, folded the letter paper in front of everyone, put it in an envelope, and folded two thick separate envelopes.

The two envelopes looked like gift money at first glance, and they looked like the style of throwing money at people to sign employment pledges.

Although everyone has read the content of the letter, some of them can't understand it, and those who can barely understand it can't make a sound.

Those senior executives who could understand and speak up could only envy Shigeru Miyamoto for how he got into the eyes of such a big boss and was respected by others as a corporal.

Ah, this damn sense of ritual...

Alia took out a golden business card again, with two folded envelopes totaling 100 million yen in gift money, plus a letter of appointment written in front of everyone.

Then he handed these things to Shigeru Miyamoto with a sluggish face: "Miyamoto-kun, I said before that a talent like you is worth fighting for at any price, please accept these now—— You don't need to promise anything, it's just my heart."

Miyamoto's face turned red, the young man's blood was excited, his hands were shaking, his lips moved, he didn't know what to say.

What other scene is more suitable than this kind of scene to say the phrase "a man dies for his confidant"?

ah!my lord!

You treat me as a national scholar, how can I refuse your kindness, instead of thinking about day and night and forgetting to sleep and eat, eager to repay him in case!

"Miss Ai - please allow me to join you! Work for you!"

"No, Miyamoto-kun, what I value is your talent, I will support you and let you work for your dreams!"

"If that's the case, thank you very much!!" Miyamoto didn't care about the gift money, the letter of appointment was enough.

Aliya, who bought bones with a lot of money, showed a moved expression, and quickly helped the other party who bowed deeply, like a scene of a monarch and his ministers getting along.

Shigeru Miyamoto, the father of video games! Get da☆ze!

Of course, Aliya is not the only one who has her eyes on his talent. It is conceivable that today's incident will be fermented in the industry and eventually become a hurricane.

She is ready to dig a big hole, and then use other people's water and other people's fish to build a new fish pond!

Hiroshi Yamauchi was rude first, so he could only watch this good show as a spectator throughout the whole process, and then applauded awkwardly and politely.

OK, OK, very touching, very touching, so when are you leaving?

Alia won't leave, what's the trick to get Shigeru Miyamoto into his hand, the magic of turning 100 billion yen into [-] trillion yen is the highlight.

She raised her hand and said, "Let's talk while walking, President Yamauchi, what do you think of my proposal before?"

"..."

Can we leave this alone?It's okay to talk about poaching people!

Hiroshi Yamauchi could only practice Tai Chi vaguely: "I don't know Miss Ai, what specific proposal are you talking about?"

"What do you think about the combination of software and hardware?"

"...The idea is very good, but it is a bit too difficult to operate, which requires the cooperation of many industries."

Making a game console by yourself is like a cook who has to prepare a farm before cooking. It's somewhat obsessive-compulsive.

In fact, after the collapse of Atari, Lao Ren analyzed in detail the reasons why Atari caused the disaster and learned lessons from it.

They believe that the high-quality output of game software must be guaranteed. This is the top priority. At this time, they have not said that they plan to develop their own game consoles.

The information that later generations can see is often due to the long history that makes the stories in the text descriptions always so legendary.

It was as if Atari's edifice collapsed in an instant, followed by Ren Hell's dynasty being established in the blink of an eye.

But in fact, the old Ren, who had already emerged as a force at that time, was just a fledgling mainframe manufacturer, and he walked away tremblingly.

Not to mention that it is still at the initial stage of Atari's collapse, no one has enough strength to replace it, and the foreign army has not yet been formed.

More importantly, Hiroshi Yamauchi, who has learned the lesson, and the entire club adhere to the idea of ​​"preserving lack rather than excess", and they have no intention of introducing a third party.

In other words, there was no preparation for a banquet at the beginning, and of course there was no need for a farm to provide raw materials.

This is a fatal conservative idea for market development.

How can a self-made game support an entire newly built home console platform?That's not a stand-alone machine with game content, but a platform!

Aliya is very clear that Yamauchi Hiroshi's views have not changed at this moment. This person is domineering and conceited, but he is indeed cautious and resourceful.

In fact, if the market response was not too strong, Lao Ren's initial positioning of the FC red and white machine was really satisfied with only a million installed capacity.

Alia pointed to an Atari Lynx, which is the latest model of the popular Atari.

"President Yamauchi, do you think this game console is good?"

"...with all due respect, the color screen is really good, but the quality of the game is terrible, and the price itself is too expensive."

"I also think that no matter how superior the hardware equipment is, if it is not matched with interesting game software, it will be no different from scrap iron."

Hiroshi Yamauchi suddenly felt a sense of confidant - why do you say you are taking the white dragon fish?

If you revealed your identity early, aren't we just heroes who see the same thing?

"For the game as a product, since it is not a necessity of life, once consumers feel that it is not fun, they will give up without hesitation!"

Yamauchi Hiroshi added that this is also his firm belief that the game must be fun, rather than relying on the amount of money to gain novelty and crazily cheating for quick money.

Atari has cheated money to the point of madness. Six weeks before "ET" was produced, there was a frenzied update of the version. As a result, there was even a blank cassette sent directly to the player - so fast that the manufacturer couldn't keep up. The update speed of the online game developer is up!

"I also think that for consumers to fall in love with game console products, they must first be able to afford them."

Aliya gently touched a sample of a booth at the trade fair, which were some disassembled game consoles.

The style of the current game consoles is different from the customary "host body + game carrier" in the future, and many of them can only play a few games.

This type of game console is actually a smaller version of the early arcade machine, and even the handle style is similar to the arcade machine.

The current market is filled with more than a dozen different styles of TV game consoles, but the total market size is less than 300 million units. People would rather play the arcade itself.

Hiroshi Yamauchi nodded again and again. He is mainly engaged in the toy business now, so naturally he has a deep understanding of this.

"Take into account that most of our clients are young children who have no financial means."

"It's simple. You can develop a learning machine and trick parents into it."

"what?"

"No, it's nothing, just kidding - how do you think the cost can be reduced?"

"... Make the content of the game less, just like eating a small amount of food?"

"No, no, my idea is different from yours, President Yamauchi, I think we should start with the most basic cost."

"What is the most basic cost?"

"For example, start with the reform of hardware. What is the most expensive hardware?"

"Naturally, it is the IC chip of the game console."

"Then, in President Yamauchi's opinion, how much should the cost of IC chips be reduced to achieve the goal of small profits but quick turnover?"

"This..." Hiroshi Yamauchi was led into the pit by her, and he really thought about it seriously. After all, he had thought about a big price cut on hardware before.

"Two thousand yen, can it be done?"

"Two thousand—if that's the case, then the cost of the whole machine can be controlled within [-] yen!"
