Chapter 107 Inspection and Decision

Of course, ideas are thoughts, reality is reality. If you want to break away from Nintendo selling video games in a notebook, you will not be able to do this for a while.

After putting away the shock of his body and sighing at the scene in front of him, he saw that it was already evening and realized that his goal had reached Hiroshi Yamauchi, who happily invited them to a meal.

Because he was a newcomer, Yamauchi Hiroshi did not create any local characteristics. He took them to a Tokyo restaurant that had already been booked, and solved his desire for politeness through a business banquet.

That night, the group rested in Tokyo and set off again the next day. They set out from Tokyo and passed through Shinagawa and Kawasaki. It took more than an hour to arrive at Yokohama, the second largest city in the book.

There is also an video game city like Akihabara, but Yamauchi Hiroshi just took them out for a walk. Then, the group came to the horse carriage lane built by Benzi a hundred years ago to open Yokohama Port.

"A hundred years ago, when our country built this road, its original purpose was to provide convenience for the past carriages, but with the development of Yokohama, it gradually became an economic center. The first Western-style theater in our country, the Yokohama Colosseum, was there, and that happened in 1875..."

Under the introduction of Hiroshi Yamauchi, the modern Yokohama Center was also presented to the two of them. Although the commercial atmosphere here is very strong, with hotels, theaters, and banks everywhere, there is also Nintendo's storefront, and now there are arcades for "Snake Eater". When Ethan and Evelyn appeared, their sights were full of young people who pursue fashion.

If it were just this, Ethan and Evelyn could actually question Hiroshi Yamauchi's fraud, but when Hiroshi Yamauchi took them forward and came to a branch lane in the carriageway, the scene of Sega's door hanging on top and Nintendo's "Snake" arcade was stunned, which made the two of them stunned on the spot.

After seeing the puzzled faces of Ethan and Evelyn, Hiroshi Yamauchi said proudly: "Sega did not get an agent, but their store also needs to make money, so he can only buy our machines."

"But I didn't sell it to them, what I want is a share."

"Not much, fifty percent of the total income a day."

"The clerk at the door is our Nintendo person."

Yamauchi waved to a young man.

This action made the other party bow excitedly.

And Ethan looked shocked!

Damn it!

Is Hiroshi Yamauchi so good at playing?

Use Sega's storefront to set up your own machine?

What's the difference between this and NTR in person!

Of course, after being excited, Ethan also discovered a problem.

That is, Nintendo has its own store in the notebook, and they can easily turn it into a game hall to operate arcades. In such a place, they do not need to share the profits of arcades with middlemen.

Ethan actually has something to say about this.

When Nintendo uses arcades to eat players' profits, the money sold in arcades is not worth mentioning to them.

But in the end, he decided not to say anything.

Because he understood why Hiroshi Yamauchi showed him these things.

This is not only telling the breadth of Nintendo's business in the book, but also showing the depth of their business. After all, the real estate left by these ancestors is why they can succeed at will.

I use my own store to do business, so what I do is a net profit?

If Tokyo's Akihabara shows the book's consumption ability in electronic games and Yokohama's horse lane shows Nintendo's control over the book's single area, then the next areas such as Osaka, Nagoya and Sapporo are actually showing the book's concentration in electronic games consumption.

Because of its dense population and convergence in a few cities, the game companies here only need to grasp a few cores, which can gain a lot of wealth. In addition, road traffic is convenient and railway traffic is smooth, and radiating to surrounding people has become an advantage that North America cannot reach.

And this advantage...

It can indeed save a company countless labor costs.

After walking around and spending five days visiting the nine cities in the book, Ethan also has an intuitive understanding of the market here. If the previous understanding comes from learning and accumulation in previous lives, then now, the discernible reality of the naked eye can allow him to think better in his future judgment.

For Evelyn, these five days of running around, she also experienced the closure of the notebook, because the entire notebook market is everywhere, and most of the cars running on the road are Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Suzuki, and those hanging on the street are Sony's neon light boxes, there are Aeon and Maruben in the supermarket, and the real estate industry is either Mitsubishi or Nomura, or Mitsui or Sumitomo.

Of course, there are also foreign brands, but the only one that can be seen everywhere is called Coca-Cola.

"Coca-Cola is still amazing." This fact made Evelyn feel a little moved.

"There's no way, who has made them do the best of this industry?" Ethan smiled and shook his head.

After reading the book's major centers, Yamauchi Hiroshi also changed direction and took the two to the book's spiritual hometown, cultural origin, and also the location of Nintendo's headquarters, Kyoto.

Since Ameriga did not bomb Kyoto during the WW2 period, this is one of the few cities in Benzi that have pre-war buildings, but this is not the point, because what Yamauchi showed to the two was Nintendo's production base.

When Yuushi Yamauchi unveiled the veil of the legendary Nintendo game department, Uji's building located in the suburbs of Kyoto looked no different from the R&D offices of other companies. It was very ordinary, but after the display area of ​​Nintendo's popular products appeared, a super weird player who sold more than 1.2 million pieces in a single year, a super serving machine with an average annual sales of more than 700,000 pieces in three years, a love tester that was popular in the notebook, and a light gun that brought Nintendo $30 million in revenue...

These products all tell Nintendo's dream-making ability!

Waiting for Ethan to see the Yokoi Junhei with a big back, Masayuki Uemura, and Genta Takeda wearing glasses...

The fact that Nintendo's four kings already had three of them made him laugh.

Because these talents are the foundation for Nintendo's success in transformation!

If you can gather one talent, it is luck, and if you can gather three, it is vision.

After visiting Nintendo's headquarters, R&D center and production line, Ethan's inspection has actually come to an end, but before he made a decision on whether to cooperate or not, Yamauchi Hiroshi took him to another place, which is the famous Heian Shrine in the eastern part of Kyoto.

On the edge of the temple, there is a secluded East Road.

According to Yuuchi Yamauchi, hundreds of years ago, in the fifteenth century, it was still a dirt road, leading to the Holy Guardian, the Imperial Palace, and opposite the villa was the residence of the Imperial Doctor.

And now...

This is their home.

Yamauchi's ancestors bought this place a hundred years ago.

And their Lord, became neighbors.

Asked his subordinates to lift the huge door bolt and push open the door that had a history of more than 500 years, Yamauchi made a request with nostalgia and walked in with Ethan and Evelyn.

Walking on the century-old stone road, looking at the lush and wild garden, staring at the small bridge across the flowing water, and admiring the tea room made of cedar wood, Yamauchi said with a smile: "Mr. Jones, I don't know what you think about chip cooperation."

"I don't know if you have other partners, and I don't know if you will communicate with other electronic companies in the notebook, but there is one thing I want to tell you honestly."

“In our country, few people can own real estate here.”

"And the one who really makes electronics..."

"None of them deserved!"

Hiroshi Yamauchi pointed to the land under his feet and smiled confidently: "Mr. Jones, I believe that after these days of inspection, you should have a general understanding of the strength of our Nintendo, but I want to say that there are actually more I can show..."

"I am sincere in wanting to negotiate this cooperation with you."

“Because working with us can maximize your interests.”

Speaking of this, Yamauchi Hiroshi raised an affirmative smile at Ethan.

“I can guarantee this.”

"I can assure you in my ancestral home."

When this statement appeared, Ethan also had a bright smile on his face.

"I believe in your strength, Mr. Yamauchi."

The calm words could not help but feel excited. Although Ethan still did not give a positive answer, Yuuki Yamauchi was not in a hurry. He left his own space for Ethan on the grounds that he had left the company for a long time and needed to go back to handle affairs. At the same time, he also arranged accommodation for Ethan in the Okazaki area next to Heian Shrine, and asked his secretary to wait around for 24 hours.

If you have any questions, you can contact us as soon as possible.

Nodding to express his gratitude, after closing the door, Ethan, who walked into the house, also lay down on the tatami, closed his eyes slightly, and asked his sister: "What do you think of Nintendo?"

“They are excellent enough if they are from a partner’s perspective.”

“It can even be said to be very perfect.”

After walking for a week, Evelyn was tired and lay down to rest like Ethan, while also expressing her own opinions she had accumulated over the days, "But from a competitive perspective, they are a bit scary."

"Although I told me before that Nintendo has many excellent products in the notebook, I found that those products are simple but creative things after I went to their factory."

"It is a terrible ability to reinnovate technologies that have been popularized or even eliminated."

"Because in this way, they will never be stuck by others."

This fact made Ethan chuckle.

He knew that Evelyn was right.

In his previous life, from which perspective NS looked at it was all electronic waste.

But there is no way, creativity is amazing.

"Then do you think the chip license can be given?" Ethan asked what he was thinking.

"Can you give it." Evelyn gave her answer very decisively.

"Why?" Ethan was a little curious.

Evelyn said: "Because I have confidence in you."

‘???’

This answer exceeded Ethan's expectations.

He turned his head slightly to look at his sister.
