"Oh, Jia Jun. My dearest friend. I have never liked you so much in my life!" At the entrance of Nintendo's headquarters, Nintendo's employees and reporters were surprised to see Nintendo's President, Yamauchi, waiting for someone at the entrance.
When he appeared, Yamauchi immediately hugged him with unimaginable passion. Those who were familiar with Yamauchi swore that they had never seen Yamauchi so passionate in their lives. This passion was even more passionate than the passion he had for his wife!
Except for Yamauchi, all the senior executives of Nintendo lined up at the entrance of the company to welcome the arrival of this guest.
This was an unprecedented treatment given by Nintendo. Even when the Minister of Dazo Province came for an inspection, he did not receive such treatment!
The person who received such a warm welcome from Yamauchi was our Mr. Jia Yapeng.
Nintendo, or perhaps Yamauchi, was currently in a state where their favorability towards Boss Jia was bursting.
But a day ago, when Yamauchi received a call from Mr. Jia, he was furious. He thought Jia Yapeng was going to betray him. Yamauchi thought Jia Yapeng was going to betray him.
However, Yamauchi never expected that the news he received was that Jia Yapeng had slapped Capcom's president in the face at the press conference, causing his face to swell up.
Yamauchi was so happy that he ate an extra bowl of rice. He had not had such a good appetite for a few years.
This was the darkest time for Nintendo. Four of the Eight King Kong had betrayed Nintendo and joined Sony.
Just a few days ago, these guys were standing in front of Yamauchi, promising that they will support Nintendo's console and will not join Sony.
But now, a few slaps landed on Yamauchi's face. So, when Boss Jia's slap landed on Capcom's president's face, Yamauchi was overjoyed. It was so satisfying.
Especially when Yamauchi heard that Sony's press conference was ruined by this slap. Yamauchi only had one word in his heart. "Happy!"
"I didn't expect it. We were the ones who betrayed us, but at the crucial moment, the most reliable people were the Chinese. How embarrassing!" Yamauchi sighed in the company's internal meeting. It could be seen that Yamauchi had a very good impression of Boss Jia.
That was why Yamauchi had brought all the executives of Nintendo to the entrance of Nintendo to welcome Boss Jia to attend their press conference.
And this scene was also recorded by countless cameras and video cameras, especially the scene of Jia Yapeng and Yamauchi hugging each other at the entrance of Nintendo. It became a classic moment in history.
Many years later, many video game media would use this picture when reviewing the history of video games. They would talk about the love and hate story between Nintendo, Daqian, and Sony in the video game industry.
Ten minutes later, Boss Jia and Yamauchi appeared in Yamauchi's private office. At the same time, the service staff placed sushi, sake, and other traditional Fusang food in Yamauchi's office lounge.
It was around 12 o 'clock at noon, which was the time Yamauchi had specially invited Boss Jia. Boss Jia thought that Yamauchi would invite him for lunch.
In fact, Boss Jia's guess was right. But they were not having lunch in the hotel. They were having lunch in Yamauchi's office.
"Although I often have lunch here, you're the first guy who can have lunch with me here!" Yamauchi said with a smile. Then he picked up a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Jia, I'd like to propose a toast to you!"
"Thank you, Yamauchi Senpai!" Boss Jia smiled and drank the wine in his glass.
"Mr. Jia, I really need to thank you. You helped me vent my anger. Nintendo will never forget this slap. From today onwards, we will be friends forever!" Yamauchi said excitedly.
"Mr. Yamauchi, you are flattering me. This slap was for myself! It's fine if he insulted me, but he can't insult my country! " Boss Jia's face was cold. It seemed that Kenzo Yamauchi had angered his Boss Jia.
"Hahaha, I don't care who you slapped for! I was very happy to see this slap. Nintendo will never forget it! " Yamauchi laughed. He then took out a contract and placed it in front of Jia Yapeng. "Mr. Jia, please take a look at this!"
"This is …" Boss Jia curiously looked at the contract and found that it was a new game cooperation agreement.
"This is the new cooperation agreement that I have decided to sign with Mr. Jia!" Yamauchi laughed. "This agreement has two main changes compared to the previous one. First, Daqian games will be exempt from review every year. Other than the review of the game's performance, which is to check if the game is running smoothly and if there are not many bugs, there will be no other review. The game can be released directly on Nintendo's platform! "
"Second, the profit sharing ratio between Nintendo and Daqian games will be changed from 50% to 50% to 40% to 60%. In the future, 60% of the profits will belong to Daqian. Nintendo will only take 40%!" Yamauchi's contract was really a big gift.
Putting the first point aside for now, the second point alone could cause Nintendo to lose hundreds of millions of USD in profits.
It seems that Nintendo had paid a hefty price for this.
But don't think that Nintendo is only doing this because of Boss Jia's slap. This slap is not worth hundreds of millions of USD of profits.
The reason Yamauchi had taken the initiative to change the contract was because he wanted to keep a tight hold on the Da Qian Corporation and prevent it from running away.
After all, Sony PlayStation's cooperation agreement is much better than Nintendo's cooperation agreement. Any third party will be tempted. If Nintendo does not spend more money to keep Daqian, Daqian will be snatched away.
Of course, although Nintendo's new contract had increased their profits, it was still not as good as Sony's contract. But this contract was built on the fact that Nintendo's console was the number one console in the universe.
