Author: Fortunately I didn't go

Hiroshi Yamauchi?

The sudden appearance of President Nintendo surprised Ethan.

But strangely, it could not hide the normal etiquette. He greeted him with a smile, and then made the middle-aged man who was twenty-eight years older than him get up quickly.

Extend your right hand and hold it with it.

After saying hello to each other, Ethan then asked what he was thinking.

"Oh~ Mr. Yamauchi, it was really a surprise to see you in Boston."

"If I read it right, are you here to travel?"

"This beautiful lady beside you...is Ya's wife?"

This speculation made Hiro Yamauchi smile and nod, saying, "Mr. Jones, what you said is completely correct. I am here to travel, and this is my wife, Michiko Inaba."

While speaking, he also introduced Ethan's identity to his wife.

Since Hiroshi Yamauchi spoke Japanese, Ethan did not understand.

But after the lady bowed and said the ‘Nice to meet you’ in Ethan’s memory in a strange tone, Ethan almost popped up ‘me too’.

Pressing his instinctive reaction, he changed his words: "Same here."

"This is..." After reporting his identity, Yamauchi Hiroshi became curious about Evelyn's identity.

Ethan responded with a smile, "My sister."

"Oh—" Yamauchi Hiroshi's smile became even stronger, and he bowed again, saying, "Ms. Johnson, I have long admired Daname, and it is a great honor to see him today."

"Hello." Evelyn stretched out her right hand and held it with a simple grip.

After they were about to part, Hiroshi Yamauchi also took the initiative to reveal the reason for the trip.

Nintendo has cooperated with many companies in Ameriga, so at the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the founding of Ameriga, some old friends invited him to witness history. Because those friends were too enthusiastic, they could not resist it.

He came to Ameriga with his wife half a month ago.

The first place they visited was Ohio, because the American poker company located there had been decades of cooperation with Nintendo. Then they went to Illinois, visited Mirova, and then went to California to meet Disneyland.

I watched the celebration performance there, and the reason I came around to Boston was to witness the image of their own country's sailing boats during the grand festival.

That’s right, the island nation sailing ship was in the international sailing team that participated in the 200th anniversary celebration of the founding of Amerika in New York. It was a sail training ship called Moonkomaru.

When this fact appeared, Ethan called it a coincidence and said that he came from New York.

At the same time, he smiled and said, if Hiro Yamauchi appeared earlier, he might have been able to see him get off the boat.

After a brief exchange, Ethan wanted to say goodbye.

However, just as he sighed that the world was too small and he could meet people he knew when he came to Boston, Hiroshi Yamauchi bowed again and said apologetically: "Oh Mr. Jones, please forgive me for taking the blame. Please ask

Will you be back in California recently?”

It seemed that I knew that my words were offensive, so Yamauchi Hiroshi immediately explained: "Because I had the plan to visit you in my itinerary, but before leaving, some difficult things suddenly appeared in the company.

That's why I delayed a few days on the itinerary of Mi."

"So, when I arrived in California as planned, it was already July 2. As the festival was approaching, I did not rashly visit your company. I originally wanted to go to California when Quanmi resumes work after the celebration.

You apologize, but you didn't expect that we actually met here..."

Yamauchi Hiroshi's explanation made Ethan nod slightly.

He felt that he understood the other person's words.

This guy probably wanted to take advantage of the celebration to get along with his American partners, but he happened to encounter an accident, so all the itineraries were disrupted.

Ethan understood this kind of intention of actively communicating, but his communicative behavior...

He felt that it was spared.

"Oh, Mr. Yamauchi, fortunately you didn't go to my company, otherwise I would be the one who is rude."

“In fact, by mid-June, I had already left the company to enjoy the holiday.”

"We have no intention of going back recently. After all, the four-point school openly takes a summer vacation, and it only takes this time for hundreds of years..."

Stanford's school system is a four-point system, that is, a year is divided into four quarters, and different courses can be selected for each period. In this case, many students can choose classes in the summer.

Of course, the school does not force students to go to summer school. If students are willing to learn, they can stay. If they are unwilling to learn, they can rest during this period.

But this year is different. Because of the special time of two hundred years, the school directly took a big holiday, so Evelyn had time to come out. This was not only because she wanted to show off her bad luck, but also because the teacher also went out to celebrate.

And when Pac Man still has room for shipping in the short term...

I have nothing to do when I go back early!

And when Ethan thought that such meaningless guest words were enough for just a few words, endless gratitude appeared on Hiroshi Yamauchi's face. The guy who was almost fifty years old said directly: "Oh-

Is that true? Then I am so lucky to see you here."

‘???’

Ethan didn't understand.

The next second, Yamauchi Hiroki had already solved the problem.

"Mr. Jones, that's right. I'm visiting you. In addition to blessings, there are actually some things I want to talk to you. If I can't find you after going to California, it's really a pity for me.

”

‘Talking about business?’

This direction made Ethan laugh.

He thought Hiroshi Yamauchi was here to establish a relationship! The result was a business talk?

Harmful--

It seems that he feels too good about himself!

Since it was about business and he happened to meet him, Ethan turned his head and looked at Evelyn. Seeing the girl nodding slightly to show her understanding, he smiled and shouted that it was a coincidence.

I raised my hand and asked the hotel to open a private room for them.

After sitting in the private room, Yamauchi Hiroshi, who knew the precious time, immediately told him about his work.

First, he and Ethan and Evelyn talked about the sales of "Snake Game" in the book.

Although the two parties signed the contract in November last year, after obtaining the authorization, Nintendo immediately organized the production of arcades and purchased radio advertisements for publicity in December last year. There was a craziness of public opinion.

The distribution of goods became quite smooth at the end of the year, so when the New Year came, the game console halls in various areas of the book were full. From middle-aged people who were doing nothing to young people who had no homework,

They all enjoyed happiness in the entertainment city.

"When I came here, the arcade shipments of Snake Game had reached 15,000 units, and our price was 599,000 yen per unit, which was about 2,000 US dollars.

That is to say, in just half a year, the sales of "Snake Game" in our book have reached 30 million US dollars, and the dividends belonging to the two are 4.2 million."

"According to the current situation, this hot momentum will continue, because cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Yokohama, and Nagoya still have a large demand for "Snake Game" arcades, with 50 million people gathered here

In other words, 15,000 arcade machines are not enough.”

Yamauchi Hiroshi said a set of data with a smile.

And this number...

To be honest, this is indeed higher than North America’s dividends!

"Oh, Mr. Yamauchi, it seems that choosing you Nintendo is really the right choice. If it were other companies, I think they would definitely not be able to give such good data in a short time."

Ethan and Evelyn looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

After all, no one can reject the green US dollar bill.

Ethan's scenes also made Hiro Yamauchi nodded with joy.

At the same time, he also modestly said, "Mr. Jones, you have exceeded the award. The excellent results of a product depend on both the promotion during sales and the excellent content itself."

This flattery made Ethan laugh.

After briefly talking about the sales of "Snake", Hiroshi Yamauchi expressed his desire again. He said that after coming to the United States, he realized that "Snake Game" was outdated, the most popular electronic product at the moment.

The game is Ethan and their new launch of "Pac-Man".

He had experienced this game at Disneyland in Los Angeles, and the amazing gameplay made him feel like an agent again, "Mr. Jones, we Nintendo want to maintain good cooperation with you and continue to act as an agent.

"Foodman" game."

“For this purpose, we are willing to take the initiative to modify the contract terms of Snake Game.”

"Previously, when we signed the agency contract for "Snake Game", we agreed in the contract that the quantity of dividend settlement is based on the shipment volume for each natural year, and the issuance of the dividend report is the first quarter of the following year of the natural year

The bottom, the payment time is within three months after the report is checked.”

"But now, if Mr. Jones is still willing to hand over the game "Pac Man" to our Nintendo agent, then we Nintendo will be willing to settle dividends for half a year, that is, to settle twice within a natural year, and at the same time, the issuance of the settlement statement is also

The payment time was changed from one quarter to two months, and the payment time was changed from three months after the statement was checked to one month.”

“For this…”
