"If Nintendo is willing to be a third-party game developer, that's fine, but it has ambitions and wants to take a share of the home game console market. It's unbearable!" Li Zetian sneered in his heart, and his eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness. Cold color.
In fact, it's no wonder that Li Zetian is so targeted at Nintendo. As the saying goes, "If you fight a snake, you will be harmed." corporate dominance.
Chairman Mao said: "Strategically despise the enemy, and tactically pay attention to the enemy!"
In this life, Nintendo has suffered setbacks, and its financial resources and talents and skills are much worse than in the previous life. Li Zetian has not listed Nintendo as his number one enemy, but in terms of specific tactics, Li Zetian still attaches great importance to the opponent, and try to destroy it as much as possible!
In addition, it is also a warning to other companies that are eager to enter the home game console market!
Li Zetian wants them to know that the home game console market belongs to the Flamingo Company. Which company dares to enter this market, let me not kill him and let him end up like Nintendo!
In this way, Flamingo has established a strong prestige. In the future, any company that dares to set foot in the home game console market will have to weigh its own strength.
Without competitors, Flamingo can form a monopoly and make high profits, of course.
At this time, Flamingo and Nintendo competed against each other, which has already caused a huge shock in the industry!
Third-party game developers and companies trying to get into home consoles are feeling a chill. Obviously, the Flamingo company's attitude to want to crush Nintendo is very firm, the price of the fc is low, then the price of the Flamingo-1 is lower than that of the fc. Nintendo sends game cartridges, and Flamingo also sends game cartridges.
For players, there are not many games on FC, but there are too many choices on Flamingo-1, plus Flamingo is so famous, as a player, there is no doubt that the first choice Presumably will buy the Flamingo-1 game console.
In fact, it does.
After the Flamingo Company engaged in promotional activities, there was a wave of buying the Flamingo-1 game console. Nintendo's FC sales plummeted, and Nintendo was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
"President Yamauchi, the Flamingo Company is trying to kill us!"
"Yeah, all means are fighting against Nintendo!"
"Because of the royalty system, many companies are not used to Flamingo, and even have the idea of starting their own business and building their own game console platform! Nintendo launched a game console at this time, just hit the gun, Flamingo company If you don't take Nintendo, who will you take?!"
"Bagaya Road, the Flamingo Company is simply too hateful!"
"… "
The crowd cursed.
It's just, what else can they do now besides cursing
Yamauchi Pu frowned tightly, and his heart was also very anxious. He could see that the Flamingo Company was determined to severely suppress Nintendo.
At this moment, Yamauchi Puton felt regretful, shook his head, and sighed in his heart: "If I had known today, Nintendo would not have allowed Nintendo to enter the home game console market, and the investment of tens of millions of dollars and years of energy were wasted in vain. Now, if this time fails, Nintendo will definitely be broken and devastated!"
Yamauchi Pu is very clear that this time against the Flamingo Company, it is inevitable that he will be banned in the future.
The quarrel in the office is like a vegetable market.
Yamauchi put his hands on the table and held his chin. The chaos in front of him was in front of him, and he felt a headache and upset!
A week later, fc's total sales volume was less than 10,000 units, which was not a success. This also led to the failure of Nintendo to win over third-party game developers.
In the shopping mall, interests come first. FC has not sold many machines. How many games can be expected to be sold on this platform
At this moment, Nintendo is facing a dilemma. FC sales are low, but Nintendo has to spend a lot of money to develop games on this platform. This is obviously a loss-making business, but if you don't do this, where will FC sell
…
Flamingo company headquarters, ceo office.
Nolan Bushnell smiled and said to Li Zetian: "mr.li, it seems that Nintendo should not be able to make any waves!"
Li Zetian said lightly: "Don't jump to conclusions too early, Flamingo Company must be vigilant at this moment, lest competitors have the opportunity to come back!" Li Zetian paused and reminded, "Right now, Flamingo Company must work hard to be a good flamingo company. The development of Bird-2 game console and related game software. Besides Flamingo Company, third-party game developers must be in touch and let them closely cooperate with Flamingo Company to develop games! Since Flamingo-2 uses CD as Game storage media, naturally, game cartridges cannot be used. In other words, the Flamingo-2 game console is not compatible with the Flamingo-1 game console, which is our biggest trouble! Therefore, when the Flamingo-2 was released, the new There must be a lot of games, but the quality of the games must be guaranteed. If there are not enough good games, the release time of Flamingo-2 can be delayed! The brand of 'Flamingo, must be a high-quality product' cannot be smashed!"
Nolan Bushnell nodded and said, "Well, okay, mr.li, don't worry, I'll take care of these things."
Later, Li Zetian and Nolan Bushnell chatted about Flamingo's overseas development layout.
Nolan Bushnell said that so far, Flamingo has established game development in 28 countries and regions around the world, including the United States, Canada, Japan, South Korea, mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United Kingdom, and France. branch. In addition, it has also established cooperative relations with many film and television companies to adapt movies into games, or adapt games into movies and cartoons.
Li Zetian nodded frequently after listening to this, and was very satisfied. After thinking about it, he said, "Flamingo can try to diversify development. It is not just a game development company. I hope Flamingo can fully realize the value of a game. For example, to establish your own toy company to manufacture its own game character toys; for example, to establish your own film and television company to create movies and animations belonging to Flamingo Company; Magazine publishers, etc. What we want to do is to build a huge game entertainment empire!!!”
After listening to Li Zetian's rhetoric, Nolan Bushnell was very excited and his heart was surging, "mr·li, Flamingo Company will definitely become a very great company!"
"I hope so!" Li Zetian smiled faintly and reminded, "However, what I said before needs to be done gradually, and it should not be rushed! Don't forget what the essence of Flamingo is! This is a game-centric company. , the better the quality of the game, the easier it is for us to create a game ip!!!"
"Um!"
The word ip was actually very unfamiliar in the 1980s, but because it was often read in Li Zetian's mouth, it became a popular word.
Creating value around IP has become a business consensus!
…
Three days later, the Flamingo Company convened a meeting of more than a dozen subsidiaries including Namco, Konami, and Koei Co., Ltd., and asked them to develop new games for the Flamingo-2 game console.
As the news spread, the industry was shocked.
"Uh, how could Flamingo's new game console be developed so quickly?! It is said to be the world's first game console equipped with a 16-bit processor with super performance!!!"
"I heard people say that the second-generation Flamingo game console made a huge subversive innovation, which shocked all the heads of the Flamingo subsidiary at that time!"
"My friend is an assistant next to the CEO of Namco Palace. She said that she saw the shape of the second-generation Flamingo game console with her own eyes. It was so cool, it was like a flying saucer! She also said that the second-generation game console The machine was designed by Chronos Li himself!!!"
"Wow! Chronos Li has come out in person again, and the Flamingo-2 game console must be very awesome!!!"
"Hehe, it goes without saying!"
"… "
If Nintendo was struck by lightning, it took several years to develop the fc only 8-bit game console. In a blink of an eye, Flamingo's 16-bit processor will come out!
The only performance advantage of fc will soon be overtaken. How else can Nintendo compete with Flamingo
Some third-party game development companies that have "reverse intentions" and have secretly communicated with Nintendo saw the flamingo company's posture, and even the 16-bit game console was about to be developed, and the fire in my heart went out immediately. Now, I immediately contacted Flamingo Company shamelessly, willing to be a "third-party game development worker".
Nintendo Corporation, headquarters.
"How is this possible?!" Yamauchi Pu's eyes were bloodshot. He had just received the news that almost all third-party game developers had abandoned Nintendo. At the same time, Flamingo announced to the public that all game consoles and game cartridges that are not damaged by Flamingo within one year can be traded in, but they need to increase some funds. As soon as the news spread, it seemed as if an atomic bomb had been dropped among the players, causing a huge sensation. Flamingo-1 sales skyrocketed, while fc was basically sluggish.
The previous confrontation has made Nintendo very uncomfortable, and now it has performed the "trade-in" big move, which is so powerful that Nintendo is almost desperate!
"Flamingo Company trades old for new, aren't you afraid of losing profits?" Yamauchi Pu angrily dropped a blue and white vase on the table.
If Li Zetian knew his question, he would like to tell him.
"If you lose your sister, can't you sell the second-hand goods in South America? You can still make a lot of money! In addition, it won't take long in mainland China, and piracy is rampant, so repackage the second-hand goods and sell them in China, the price is lower than that of Xiaobawang. The pirated game consoles are still cheap, not only can combat piracy, but also make money, killing two birds with one stone!"
