After talking with Liu Nian, Boss Jia finally made up his mind. Previously, Boss Jia was hesitating whether he should transfer all his games to the N64 and continue working with Nintendo instead of releasing his own console as soon as possible.
But now, Boss Jia understood. According to Liu Nian, Daqian should be able to develop the second generation console around the year 2000. In history, Sony's PS2 was released in 2004, and Nintendo's Wii had to wait until 2006. If Daqian really released the second generation console in 2000, then those two companies would be beaten up by Daqian.
"Looks like Nintendo will have to take advantage of us!" Boss Jia muttered. Then, he called Liu Nian back to his house for dinner. At the same time, he called Yamauchi Yamauchi, who was in Fusang.
"Daqian promises that on the first day of the N64, all of Daqian's console games will appear on the first release list, including" Pokemon 2 "and" Red Alert Console Edition ". Boss Jia promised over the phone.
"Great! That's great!" On the other side of the phone, Yamauchi couldn't help but say "Good". Then he realized that his attitude seemed to be a little too eager, so he took back his words and said indifferently, "Thank you for your support, Mr. Jia!"
"But Yamauchi Senpai, I have a small request. I hope that Nintendo will agree to it!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"What request?" Yamauchi Yamauchi asked curiously.
"I want the authorization to use" Snake "," Tetris "," Tank Wars ", and" Super Mario Bros 1st Gen "! Boss Jia said.
"What! That's impossible! Jia, you shouldn't have made such a stupid request! " When Yamauchi Yamauchi heard Boss Jia's request, he instantly exploded. He even used the word "stupid".
Boss Jia's face suddenly turned dark. Does this Yamauchi Yamauchi not understand the situation that Nintendo is facing now?
However, Boss Jia couldn't fall out with Nintendo. He could only say in a friendly tone, "Yamauchi Senpai, I don't think this request is stupid. These four games are old games from the 70's. For Nintendo, they can no longer generate more profits. Instead of letting them be unknown and useless, why not license them to Daqian and make some profits?"
"Jia, we, Nintendo will never license our games to other consoles. Not to mention, these four games are Nintendo's trump cards. They have a huge brand influence in the market................." Yamauchi's words....
.... Boss Jia's expression changed. He finally understood why Yamauchi Yamauchi's attitude suddenly exploded. Yamauchi Yamauchi thought that Boss Jia wanted to run these four games on other consoles. He wanted to use the IP of these four games to develop his own console. Yamauchi Yamauchi, of course, exploded.
What was even more explosive was that the Daqian also wanted to make consoles. Were there shameless traitors everywhere in the world?
"Senpai, I think you've misunderstood me!" After knowing Yamauchi Yamauchi's thoughts, Boss Jia knew how to deal with this stubborn old man.
"I've misunderstood you? You want to license these four games. Aren't you planning to install them on a handheld console? " Yamauchi Yamauchi's sense of touch was very sharp. After hearing the names of these four games, he knew what Boss Jia wanted.
"Of course not!" Boss Jia laughed, "Actually, I don't plan to put these four games on a handheld console. I plan to put them on …"
"I see!" After listening to Boss Jia's explanation, Yamauchi Yamauchi's attitude improved a lot. As long as Boss Jia didn't want to get involved in the console industry, it was fine. Otherwise, with the current lineup of Daqian games, if they left Nintendo, Nintendo would lose a lot of money.
Therefore, even though Yamauchi Yamauchi just called Boss Jia stupid, he regretted it as soon as he said it. If he really broke off his relationship with the Daqian and let the Daqian into the PS camp, Yamauchi Yamauchi would cry to death.
Luckily, Boss Jia's senpai didn't care about this. He explained his real intentions, and Yamauchi Yamauchi was finally relieved.
However, even if it wasn't installed on a handheld console, it might be even scarier than a handheld console in the future!
"Senpai, can you agree to my request now?" Boss Jia asked.
"This …" Yamauchi Yamauchi hesitated.
"Senpai, do you think that even if you don't give me these games, the Daqian can't develop more suitable games?" Finally, Boss Jia stopped suppressing the anger in his heart. His imposing manner made Yamauchi quiver.
That's right. If Yamauchi Yamauchi Yamauchi does not agree to this request, then he will really break off relations with the Daqian. In the future, Pokemon will be sold on the N64 because of the 1 billion USD contract. But other games will have nothing to do with Nintendo.
Furthermore, with the Daqian's current game development capabilities, it's not like they can't develop more outdated games.
If the Daqian side with Sony …
"Fine!" Yamauchi Yamauchi finally understood and nodded. "Nintendo can give the Daqian the rights to these four games. But when you sign the contract, you must agree that these four games can only be used on that console. They cannot be used on other platforms."
"No problem!" Boss Jia agreed. In the end, both parties agreed that the Daqian Games will get the rights to use these four games for 20 years at a price of 10 million USD.
"Phew … it's settled!" Boss Jia heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he moved from the gaming department of the research center to the communications department. Although this place was used to research and develop all communication-related technologies, it was basically the research and development base for the Da Qian mobile phone.
Unlike the lazy Liu Nian in the gaming department, the entire communications department was buzzing with activity. A large number of researchers were working hard. Cell phones were flying in the hands of these researchers.
These semi-finished mobile phones are the Daqian mobile phones 2. In fact, after the Daqian mobile phone was developed, Boss Jia ordered the development of the second generation mobile phone.
Furthermore, Boss Jia had only given the research and development team one year to come up with a new mobile phone with great improvements every year. This was Da Qian's request to the entire Communications Department. If they could not complete this task, the supervisor would deduct all their salaries.
The Daqian mobile phone was developed in January 1995. So, there are only four months left before the Daqian mobile phone 2 is released.
"Chairman!" Seeing Boss Jia appear, Minister Xu, the person in charge of the Communications Department, hurried over. Unlike the people in charge of the other departments who were scientific researchers, the person in charge of the Communications Department was not involved in scientific research. He was an out-and-out manager.
It couldn't be helped. Sometimes, researchers needed capitalism to spur them on.
"Although time is tight, I hope our second generation Daqian mobile phone will have this feature!" Boss Jia passed a piece of paper to Minister Xu.
