"Hmm, that old man Yamauchi has finally thought it through!" Boss Jia said in surprise when he saw the urgent message sent by Zhong Yu.
Boss Jia did not expect Nintendo to make such a request. Based on Boss Jia's understanding of Yamauchi, this was something that would never happen.
Yamauchi was such a proud person. It was unbelievable that he would admit defeat.
In the other world, when Yamauchi was still alive, he did not even want the number of people who played mobile games.
It was said that when Yamauchi retired in 2008, Nintendo started to make plans. They wanted to release mobile games, and the first mobile game they wanted to release was Pokémon.
However, the retired Yamauchi rejected the idea. Mobile phones were not a platform for games. Using mobile phones to play games was a disgrace!
These were Yamauchi's words. In addition, the major gaming companies in Fusang naturally looked down on mobile games. Therefore, this stubborn old man suppressed Nintendo for six to seven years. After Yamauchi's death, some of the major mobile game companies in Fusang started to make money. Finally, Nintendo started to develop mobile games. They even created a god-level mobile game like Pokémon GO.
However, Nintendo had already missed the golden period of mobile games. Moreover, they were especially reserved. Their paywall projects were not smooth. They wanted to charge for mobile games, but in the end, they did not have any outstanding mobile game projects. They only authorized some companies to develop mobile games based on their IP.
"Peng Peng, I don't think Yamauchi is admitting defeat. He wants to beat us even more!" Zhu Qiushui, who was doing her confinement, smiled and said, "This old man finally understands that defeating us doesn't mean that he won't work with us. The key is that the game he makes is better than ours, and it's enough as long as he earns more money than us!"
"Moreover, if Nintendo's game is on our platform, and the sales figures are better than ours, then Nintendo's victory will be even more irrefutable!"
"Moreover, from an outsider's point of view, this time it was Daqian who took the initiative to show goodwill to Nintendo. They even ranked Nintendo's game first!"
"Nonsense!" Boss Jia said angrily, "I'm not trying to be nice to Nintendo, I'm just trying to uphold the game's first standard!"
"Yes, yes, yes! But the problem is that outsiders are not like me. They can't understand your noble thoughts. In their eyes, you are like Nintendo, and Nintendo is returning the favor. Nintendo did not lose face! "Zhu Qiushui said with a smile.
"Damn it, this old man is getting more and more knowledgeable!" Boss Jia snorted. He was very unhappy.
"Then, will you agree to Nintendo's request?"
"Of course! Why wouldn't we agree? Once Nintendo's games enter our platform, we can earn at least a few hundred million USD a year. Why wouldn't we take the money that's sent right to our doorstep!" Boss Jia said with a grin. "Even Yamauchi Pukuro knows what's good for him!"
Just like that, a few days later, a shocking piece of news spread throughout the gaming circle. Nintendo's game consoles and games, including GB, N64, and so on, would all be available in the steam game store.
This news shocked all the gaming industry. Could it be that Nintendo and Daqian had reconciled? Then the world was changing too fast. This made Sony's camp very nervous. They immediately called Boss Jia to ask about this.
Boss Jia assured them over the phone that this was only a collaboration between the Steam Gaming Store and the Steam Gaming Store was for the benefit of the franchisees. He could not reject this offer, so he agreed to Sony's request.
But the Daqian camp and Sony will always stand together. Daqian's games will never be included in Nintendo's games!
Of course, Boss Jia did not mention what would happen if Nintendo's games entered Tianji's platform. After all, Boss Jia was very interested in the "Zelda" series.
If there was one game in the world that Boss Jia wanted to get his hands on, it would be the Zelda series. But Boss Jia had full control of this series. Unless he bought Nintendo, he would not be able to get his hands on it.
The gaming industry was shocked, but the gamers were overjoyed. This was the reason why the Steam Gaming Store could achieve so much in such a short period of time.
One of the main reasons was that the Steam Gaming Store often had discounts. Every week, there would be 10 games on sale. The discounts ranged from 10% to 30%. As long as the members were high enough, they could buy these discounted games. That was why after the gamers owned the Steam Gaming Store, they did not want to go to other stores to buy games.
Most of the games could be found in the Steam Gaming Store. Only Nintendo's games could be found through other channels. This made the gamers of the Steam Gaming Store very unhappy.
After all, players would not stand firmly on the side of any faction. They only wanted to play games that were fun to play. Therefore, many players chose to play both factions. There were GB, N64, and Thousand Machines. However, it was annoying that they could not buy Nintendo games because of the steam game store's discount.
That was why when the gamers knew that Nintendo had also entered the Steam Gaming Store, they were overjoyed. They thought they could save a lot of money and use the money to buy more games.
Boss Jia was also overjoyed.
In any case, the third E3 had helped Boss Jia achieve something unimaginable. Of course, it also allowed Nintendo to breathe a sigh of relief and regain a lot of sales and capital.
However, half of the sales and funds were from Daqian. So, it was hard to say whether it was a good or bad thing. It could only be said that Nintendo was still Nintendo. It would be difficult to defeat them in a short period of time.
On the other hand, in Fu Sang, after completing the preliminary investigation of the broadband network, with the support of Fu Sang's four major consortiums and the government, the construction of the broadband network had begun. A total of 80 billion US dollars had been transferred to Mr. Jia's account one after another, and Mr. Jia transferred it to G&S Bank's account.
The president of G&S Bank was almost drooling when he saw the 80 billion USD. That was more than ten times more than the entire foreign exchange reserves of G&S Bank!
Unfortunately, Boss Jia had made it very clear that he had great use for this money. No one should have any ideas about it. Leaving it in G&S Bank would only make them feel more at ease.
The higher-ups had also passed down the same message. In desperation, all the G&S Bank in the country could only look at the huge amount of money and drool. But at least there was an additional 80 billion USD in cash in their vault. The president of G&S Bank walked around like a tiger. Even if he bumped into the president of RM Bank, he would not be intimidated.
Do you have 80 billion USD in cash in your vault?
