Chapter 53: One Billion

Yokoi Junhei, Kimura Masaino, Miyamoto Shigeru, Takeuchi Genyo, Tezuka Takashi, Osawa Chek...

This team consists of more than a dozen people, including well-known hardware designers and well-known software developers. This is Nintendo's core team.

The group of people had serious facial expressions, like a bitter winter wind blew through the corridor and into the Mario Club.

The people who originally wanted to be as noisy as the vegetable market immediately shut up. Although arcades are the big heads of each company now, as a representative to Nintendo, it does not mean that they can underestimate Nintendo's core personnel.

At Miyamoto's command, the tester nervously reset the game and started playing "Endless Fantasy" again.

"Light and darkness have been duel for a thousand years...

Darkness shrouds the earth...

The brave man of light awakens again…”

The plot of the game is progressing little by little. Miyamoto Shigeru was responsible for explaining to everyone when the tester was playing. As Miyamoto Shigeru, who produced Nintendo's most popular game, was absolutely authoritative in explaining game design.

The people in the core team listened to Miyamoto's explanation and showed their expressions of thinking from time to time.

Hiroshi Yamauchi is probably the one with the least facial expressions. Although he is the president of Nintendo, he directly instructed Nintendo to enter the field of electronic games. But he himself does not play electronic games. According to legend, he has never touched any electronic games.

As the most successful game company in the future, the president has never played electronic games at all and has never played them. This is indeed an interesting thing and a big news.

The tester played for about half an hour, and Miyamoto Shigeru also explained for half an hour. He took the water handed over by his assistant, drank all the water, and then quietly waited for the core team to discuss.

Yamauchi Hiroshi said first, "I think this game is good, much better than the game that is now jumping around. The chairman of Hokkaido Takumi Bank also contacted me some time ago and asked me to slow down the review of Wanhu's game as much as possible. Because Takahashi's kid received 100 million yen from Hokkaido Takumi Bank and signed a betting agreement. If his game is not sold well, he will hand over Wanhu's shares to Takumi Bank.

However, it seems that this game is pretty good now, why should I listen to him? Nintendo just owed them 4 billion yen, so they wanted to kill me but didn't dare to kill me.

Let’s see if there is any problem with this game. If not, after Takahashi’s money is paid, he will start preparing to produce it. And he will promote this game with all his strength."

After saying that, Hiroshi Yamauchi said that he had no idea about the others, he left Mario Club and walked upstairs.

Director Tsuruda's face was a little numb when he looked at the changes that had happened in a short period of time.

Just like a person who is shocked by the shocked department every day, he will no longer be shocked. After being surprised again and again, Director Tsuruda will no longer be surprised.

These Nintendo executives followed the tone set by President Hiroshi Yamauchi and went through a series of discussions.

Finally, the testers were asked to test whether there were any fatal bugs in this game, and in addition to the content review, to see if there is any content that is not suitable for children to contact.

If there are no bugs and there is no problem with the content, this game will be listed on the production sequence and will be promoted first after tens of thousands of households pay.

The core Nintendo staff left the Mario Club, and they walked to Takahashi one by one and expressed their congratulations to Takahashi.

Yokoi Junhei quietly gave Takahashi a thumbs up, while Miyamoto Shigeru patted Takahashi on the shoulder to express his encouragement.

After Nintendo's core personnel left, representatives from other game companies also lined up to express their congratulations.

Takahashi responded one by one, not slapping people with smiles. Besides, at his level, there is no need to be angry with these agents.

The representative of Taidong seemed quite alternative in a peaceful state. He seemed very panicked. He felt that the Nintendo headquarters building was very cold. He wanted to go out and bask in the sun, leave here, and embrace the sun.

Although the representatives of other manufacturers didn't say anything, they had already quietly brought this representative from Taidong to the blacklist in their hearts.

On the one hand, Takahashi is able to alarm the entire Nintendo senior management, and on the other hand, Taidong agents are rash and loss. For these creatures who seek profit and avoid harm, they are of course on Takahashi's side.

If Takahashi hadn't shown politeness and politeness to them and a little distant, they might have started to waving flags and shouting for Takahashi and inviting Takahashi to go to the store where there is a young lady at night.

Takahashi didn't have much joy on his face. Things that seemed magical to others should happen in his own opinion.

He turned his head and said to Director Tsuruda with a stiff face, "Director Tsuruda, I don't know if your bank can continue to lend me a loan. You're going to be produced when you look at the cassette, but I don't have much money."

"How much does it cost to make a cassette? Gao Sang...I can go and apply for it for you..." Director Tsuruda's attitude is more respectful now than before.

On the day of signing the contract, Takahashi, who learned about the price of each cassette agent, knew that the current capacity of the cassette he used was 2,000 yen per OEM.

Takahashi's sales of the game "Endless Fantasy" have not reached the level of eating a fat man in one bite, and it seems like selling a million sets.

Based on the number of former Wanhu arcade players and the sales data of the first generation of "Dragon Quest" and "Final Fantasy" in memory, he set an expected sales target of 500,000 copies.

The OEM fee for a cassette is 2,000, and 500,000 cassettes is 1 billion yen.

Takahashi increasingly feels that Nintendo's premium model is simply the originator of krypton gold games in the future. After the first recharge of 100 million yen, various recharge activities will be followed. As long as it falls into this pit, it will be difficult to get out.

At the same time, Takahashi also understood why Nintendo had to set up a threshold for pledge. Only manufacturers who had the financial resources to afford pledge can survive in the set of game rules designed by Nintendo.

"Billion yen." Takahashi said lightly.

"What...billion yen?" Director Tsuruda, who thought he would no longer be shocked, was shocked again.

He felt that he didn't understand the world of video games very much. The total valuation of Wanhu Company was only 1 billion yen, and Takahashi wanted to borrow 1 billion yen when he opened his mouth. This is too exaggerated.
