I want to make a game

"Liu, you have to let Jack Ma take a good look at my people. The NBA Finals will be here soon. The others are fine. The Pistons and Lakers cannot miss one person."

Listening to Stern's worried explanation, Liu Zhiyuan smiled and reassured.

"Don't worry, David, I guarantee you won't miss a hair. Believe me, this event will definitely increase the NBA's global audience."

Liu Zhiyuan actually has more crazy ideas about the NBA, but it would be too wasteful to use them on the Gremlins 2. Wait, when the Han Dynasty's 32-bit console is launched, he will make NBA LIVE directly become a game with tens of millions of sales.

"Why don't you come over? I'm really worried."

How could Liu Zhiyuan go to Japan now? Not to mention the big and small things of the Han Dynasty, the timing of this passing is not suitable. Jack Ma risked everything to fight with Pu Yamauchi there!

What did he do in the past? Pick peaches? What would Jack Ma think, and what would others think? This is laying a minefield for himself, which will explode one day sooner or later.

"Believe Jack Ma, believe me. Don't worry about security. I'll tell them how to get those stars back..."

This comfort lasted for more than ten minutes, and Stern finally understood the meaning of Liu Zhiyuan's words.

"Oh, well, since you won't go there, I have to trust Ma Yun once."

Ending the topic, he continued.

"Liu, when are you going to join the NBA? The Trail Blazers have already agreed."

Why did Stern agree to his outrageous request? In addition to the fact that he had indeed helped Stern, it was also directly related to his joining the NBA.

Together with Paul Allen, it can be said that their team is the richest in the NBA. The two owners with astonishing wealth can bring too many benefits to the NBA.

"What did Paul say?"

"Just waiting for you."

"Okay, let's go to next season."

Liu Zhiyuan thought for a while.

"Oh, by the way, I'm not very satisfied with the current Trail Blazers lineup..."

Before he finished speaking, Stern interrupted.

"Liu, you are my friend, and you are also a friend of the NBA, but you have to understand that as the president of the NBA, I have to maintain the most basic fairness, so... I can't help you in this regard."

"Hey... David, I'm not that kind of person. I'm also the president. I understand what you're saying. I just hope that when I run the team in the future, you won't stop me from doing things that go beyond the line."

"There is something wrong with the NBA, and it has a great impact on me. Don't forget NBALIVE..."

"All right."

He really doesn't have much interest in the NBA. If it weren't for Paul Allen's resources, he wouldn't have joined the NBA at all. He's too busy with his own game and is also involved in other things?

While Liu Zhiyuan and Stern were talking about some things about the NBA, the NBA star friendly match in Japan that Liu Zhiyuan organized at great expense was also coming to an end.

"Player No. 37392, congratulations, you have won a ticket to the NBA Finals of the 1989-90 season, and you will get a set of signed jerseys from all NBA teams, and..."

The basketball fans at the scene looked at the lucky man who walked to the center of the court with envy. This was not the first time. From the beginning of this game, Jack Ma kept shouting the numbers on the back of the NBALIVE game cartridge.

"Hey boy, what position do you play?"

A basketball game lasts 48 minutes, but this game lasted more than 2 hours. Why? Because the players drawn by Jack Ma can not only win prizes but also play several rounds with NBA stars on the court.

"Point guard...point guard..."

This lucky guy couldn't even express his excitement.

"Magic, you are my idol, can you sign your name for me later?"

The magician smiled and handed the ball over.

"No problem, we have as many as we can."

After saying that, he smiled and shouted to the stars standing over there.

"The 16th one, this is my 16th fan, it seems I won this game."

"Johnson, don't be too arrogant, I also have 15 fans."

"I'm 14."

"Asshole, that's because Jack Ma didn't draw my fans, otherwise you wouldn't know where you were ranked."

"..."

This kind of interactive activity is very popular with fans. In the past, having a signed poster of these stars was enough to make them so excited that they couldn't sleep.

"Give me a Gremlins 2 and NBA LIVE."

"Give me one too."

"..."

Most of the players who bought the Pokémon II are repeat purchases, because if they want to play against the stars, they must have Pokémon II and NBA LIVE, which is the admission ticket.

As for repeat purchases, you can just resell them later. The new products of the Han Dynasty have never been said to be unsalable. Every time they were not sold out, if the Han Dynasty had not had methods to target scalpers, they would never have had their turn.

purchase.

The area around the stadium has been completely occupied by basketball fans. Those players who are not interested in basketball have already left here of their own volition, because apart from Gremlins 2 and NBALIVE, there are no other games sold here.

Anyway, I don’t like basketball, so why bother crowding around here and annoying people? Elf II is available for sale everywhere.

Ma Yun looked at the lively scene below and couldn't help but sigh at Liu Zhiyuan's power. He was still interacting with players and spending money, but the effect was much better than that of Hiroshi Yamauchi.

"Minister Ma, the time is almost up."

Ma Yun nodded. It was already 7 o'clock in the evening, and there was still one last hour left. The starting ceremony in Japan was about to end. For 11 hours, he really didn't drink at all, but he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

In this situation, how could he have the mind to think about those things? He didn't even go to the toilet once. This was his first time hosting such a big event, and he didn't dare to leave for a moment.

"Send out the sales, and then prepare for the Tetris event."

Jack Ma drew a few more players and then announced that the NBALIVE event was over. At the same time, the 11-hour sales of Han Dynasty also appeared on the big screen.

"Little Elf II, 392,934 units."

"Pocket Pokémon, 518,420 copies."

"Need for Speed, 349,385 copies."

"NBALIVE, 207,623 copies."

"..."

As soon as this sales volume appeared, Hiroshi Yamauchi's face became frighteningly cold.

"SFC, 378,492 units."

"Super Mario World..."

The gap widened again. He simply couldn't figure out how he came up with these promotion ideas. How could this look like a game launch? They were not like this before.

The belt given by Pocket Elf is barely a match, but what does the sports car later mean? Then there is a friendly match composed of NBA stars, this is not a game launch ceremony at all!

"Send everyone out. In the last hour, I want to make Liu Jun understand that this is Japan and the territory of Nintendo."

Although he lost to Liu Zhiyuan and Sega in Akihabara last time, the situation at that time was completely different from now. This time it was the launch of SFC and the launch of Nintendo's new console.

He never thought that he would fail in Akihabara, and he would not underestimate Liu Zhiyuan. He also prepared many means for this, but the result was that SFC sales lagged behind.

But... there is still a chance, there is an absolute chance to counterattack.
