Chapter 354: Lie down and make money

"Mr. Yamanuchi, why do you want to force me to this level?" Jia Yapeng's face turned into a bitter face.

"I didn't force you!" Yamauchi Hiroshi shook his head. "I'm just implementing our usual rules. All game cartridges with sales of less than 5,000 will be forcibly removed from the shelves in a month. There is never any exception. I have not targeted anyone. The garbage should leave the stage and make more excellent games attract attention."

"At the beginning, I reminded you to be cautious in the first printing. It is already very risky to print 50,000 copies of a new game. You have to print 1 million copies. This has nothing to do with us. It is your arrogance that has harmed you!" Yamauchi said lightly.

After Yamauchi said this, he was obviously determined to remove Pokemon from the shelves. This is no longer the result of the negotiations that can be changed.

"Okay, we are indeed a little arrogant!" Boss Jia sighed and said, "But Mr. Yamauchi, once Nintendo decides to remove the game, can we sell it on our own?"

"This is impossible!" Yamauchi Hiroshi immediately refused, "Even if the products removed from the shelves by our Nintendo, they will never be able to continue selling without our Nintendo's permission!"

"Is that true!" Jia Yapeng exclaimed, "But, I remember that's not what it was written on the contract!"

"Impossible, that's what the contract is written!" Yamauchi Hiroshi subconsciously retorted that the cooperation agreement between Nintendo and a third-party game company was drafted by Yamauchi Hiroshi himself, and he remembered every rule clearly.

All games released on the Nintendo platform will be firmly controlled by Nintendo's hands. Hiroshi Yamauchi doesn't remember that there will be a clause in the contract that allows third parties to sell Nintendo's games on their own.

Hiroshi Yamauchi has always believed that if you want to maintain the game quality of Nintendo camp and Nintendo's own profits, you must firmly control the sales channels of all game cartridges.

All game cartridges must be sold by Nintendo. Any third-party company, even the game developer, can only be sold by the share and must not be sold by itself.

Therefore, the third-party cooperation treaty of Yamauchi Hiroshi blocks all channels for self-selling of third parties and will never give third parties any opportunity to self-selling.

That's why Yamauchi Hiroshi denies it so decisively. How could there be such loopholes in the terms of the contract he designed!

"No, I remember there are some!" Boss Jia touched his head and shouted, "I remembered that it stipulated in Article 23 of the contract. Due to the wrong estimates of third-party game companies, there were too many game cartridges burned, and the sales volume was stuck exceeding 50% of the total burned volume."

"Third-party game companies must be responsible for their mistakes and acquire the excess sales cartridges in full at the burn price!"

"Chairman Yamauchi, there are such rules, right?" Jia Yapeng said.

"So what?" Yamauchi frowned.

Of course, Hiroshi Yamauchi knew this rule in the contract, because this rule was drafted by Hiroshi Yamauchi himself, and the purpose was to prevent too many cartridges from being burned, but they could not be sold, resulting in losses.

Therefore, Hiroshi Yamauchi specially customized this rule, which can transfer the losses caused by it to a third-party game company in full. This is also the reason why Shigeru Miyamoto asked Tomoto Tajiri to pay the 1 billion yen burn fee just now.

Anyway, you have miscalculated the number of the first print, what's the matter with Nintendo?

But, what is Jia Yapeng making this rule for?

Yamauchi Hiro was a little puzzled.

"But I remember that Article 21 has an additional clause, that is, when a third-party game company fully acquires the excess cassettes of the game, in order to make up for the losses, the third-party game company allows the third-party game company to sell these game cartridges on its own without paying Nintendo's 50% share in advance and not reducing the price!"

"Chairman Yamauchi, there is this clause in the contract, I remember it right!" Jia Yapeng asked with a smile.

"..." Yuki Yamauchi stopped talking. If Jia Yapeng had not mentioned this, he really wouldn't remember this clause. But once Jia Yapeng mentioned it, Yuki Yamauchi immediately recalled it. After all, this was a clause he had drafted himself.

It is true that there is this clause in the contract, but this clause has never been triggered, and it has not been used by third-party manufacturers.

Why?

The reason is simple, because manufacturers will not spend money to execute this supplementary agreement.

Because this supplementary agreement will only trigger if the game's inventory card is 50% of the total production card, and Nintendo's voluntary request to be removed from the shelves.

This means that this game is definitely a junk game, and at least it is a game that cannot be sold on the market.

In this way, the manufacturer will definitely not be happy. Not only will it have to spend money to buy the cardboard back, but it is not allowed to sell it on its own. Isn’t this the initiative to throw the money into the pond? After discovering this, many small manufacturers directly choose to self-destruct, and even if they go bankrupt, they will never buy back these game cardboards.

This made Nintendo a little nervous, so Yu Yamauchi made a rule change, allowing the manufacturer to sell it on its own, but before selling, he had to pay the profits belonging to Nintendo first.

Nintendo's logic is very simple, because once he breaks away from Nintendo's control, they don't know how many game cartridges the manufacturer has sold.

So Nintendo requires manufacturers to pay out Nintendo's share of their shares first, so that no matter how much the manufacturer sells in the end, Nintendo can earn the original share of their shares.

Of course, considering that the share of the money is paid first, and the game itself is not easy to sell, Nintendo rarely reduces its own share of the sales by 50%.

For example, after paying 1,000 yuan of the remaining 2,999, Pokemon, which sold for 3,999 this time, paid 200 yuan of the remaining 2,999, and the remaining 2,800 yuan was originally divided equally by Nintendo and the Rockets, and each person received a share of 1,400 yen.

However, under the premise of supplementary terms, Nintendo's share was reduced by half, from 1,400 to 700 yen, but the premise was that the money must be paid in advance by the Rockets in one go.

Look, how good Nintendo's abacus is. If you plan to sell your own cardboard that you can't sell, you have to take out a large amount of money to share.

Which game company can bear it? It originally had to pay 1,000 yen per bill, but now it has to pay an additional 700 yen. Who can withstand this?

So later, even though Nintendo designed this clause, there were almost no companies that were willing to spend money to execute it to purchase the right to sell it on their own. Over time, even Yamauchi Hirohiro himself almost forgot about this clause.

Until now, Jia Yapeng took the initiative to raise it.

"Chairman Yamauchi, if we are willing to pay a total of 700 million yuan, then we can sell Pokemon on our own, right?"

"That's right!" Yamauchi nodded subconsciously.

"That's fine!" Jia Yapeng took out a check of 700 million yen from his pocket and handed it to Hiroshi Yamauchi, and then smiled and said, "Chairman Yamauchi, you really made money by lying down!"

yes!

Hiroshi Yamauchi didn't have to do anything, but just took advantage of the platform's advantages and the Overlord Treaty, and after paying a small burn-in cost, he collected a huge sum of 1.7 billion yen. This is almost equivalent to Nintendo's total sales in the Fuso area in the past month. It's really a deal that makes a big profit!

Yamauchi Hiro was afraid that he would wake up from laughing when he was dreaming.
