MTL - Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up-Chapter 20 Digging the roots of Nintendo

If an enterprise wants to develop rapidly, it cannot do without the support of talents, and the rise of a new force will inevitably step on the corpse of an old overlord. This is the law of natural development. Enterprise development must also capture the market share of other enterprises, and must grab food from others. This is even more the case in the game market. The children in each family are fixed. The more time they spend playing Heiyun games, the less time they spend playing other companies’ games; they don’t even play anymore.

Bao Zixuan knew that the rise of a game giant in the 1980s and 1990s would have caused huge repercussions all over the world, that is, RB game giant Nintendo. This card factory established at the end of the 19th century has developed into a game giant; in addition to the extraordinary ability and forward-looking vision of corporate leaders, it is also inseparable from the performance of two geniuses.

Yokoi Junhei and Miyamoto Hat, one has swept away thousands of troops in hardware production, and the other is alone in game development. Right now, neither of these two have performed particularly well, so it was a good time for Bao Zixuan to start. So after the signing with Taidong Co., Ltd., Bao Zixuan handed Xiao Jiade a task, that is, to forcefully dig Hengjing Junping and Miyamoto hat. Now there are some eyebrows, it is Bao Zixuan's turn to appear, and he has to personally persuade the two people join.

Hat Miyamoto has just graduated from college for two years now, and he entered Nintendo through his father's relationship. He is currently just an ordinary game designer with very average wages and salaries. It is relatively low within Nintendo. After Xiao Jiade explained his intention, he heard that Xiangjiang Company was not interested at first. When he learned that it was the production company of Xiangjiang Cube and Pac-Man, especially the boss of the other party, the game developer, wanted to When he saw him, he readily agreed.

In order to avoid the people of Taidong Co., Ltd., Bao Zixuan chose a high-end coffee shop in Tokyo to meet him. When Xiao Jiade came in with a Miyamoto hat, after introducing the two parties, he chose to leave because he wanted to give the client a secret space. When Miyamoto hat saw that this old man who was a few years younger than himself was already a well-known designer in the industry, he was still very envious. After everyone said hello, we started to get to the point.

Bao Zixuan: "Miyamoto-kun, Attorney Xiao has already introduced my intention to you. Although our company has just started, the current two games are selling very well in Asia, and I also intend to increase the development of new games, so I will I hope that Miyamoto-kun will join us, and we will create brilliance together."

Miyamoto Hat: "I'm just a small game designer, why did Bao Sang invite me. I don't quite understand."

Bao Zixuan: "Looking at a person's development depends on the long-term, not only his fame, but also his talent. The game industry places more importance on a designer's love for games, otherwise everything is empty talk. I've seen Miyamoto Some of Jun's works in college, although some are immature, are full of creativity. And I appreciate your attitude towards games."

Miyamoto Hat: "If I join your company, what position will I get and the corresponding treatment."

Bao Zixuan: "You will become the head of the game development department of our entire Black Cloud Company, with an annual salary of 120,000 US dollars, with an annual increase of 5%. You will receive a 3% commission of the profits for the games developed by your department, and there will also be company option rewards. If you work in Hong Kong, you have the opportunity to return to RB on weekends twice a month, and the first-class company will reimburse you all, including your family.”

Miyamoto Hat: "This is an irresistible salary package, but how much power do I have as the person in charge of game development, and I know that Bao Sang is a leader in game development."

Bao Zixuan: "You can take full responsibility, and I am going to study in the United States soon and set up a North American branch there. I will only exchange ideas with you, and I will not take care of other things; I still have other companies to ask for. manage."

Miyamoto Hat: "Can I bring someone over from RB?"

Bao Zixuan: "That's your business. After you join, you will be responsible for all the development staff. I will only ask the company to arrange their logistics and wages."

Miyamoto Hat: "It's a pleasure to work with the boss." After speaking, he stretched out his right hand, and when Bai Zixuan saw the suit, he also stretched out his right hand; the two held their hands together. Bao Zixuan called Xiao Jiade. After a while, Xiao Jiade prepared the contract. When he saw the 10-year contract, he felt a little unhappy, and the amount of liquidated damages was rather scary, but the rest were satisfied and hesitant. Still signed.

Bao Zixuan finally let go of his heart when he saw Miyamoto Hat's signature, and handed the check for $100,000 to Miyamoto Hat, "This is your signing fee." About your Nintendo Contract lawyer Xiao will help you get it done. And when Bao Zixuan returns to Xiangjiang three days later, Miyamoto Hat will go back with them. After a few people had lunch in the cafe, both parties were very satisfied, and Miyamoto Hat left with a smile.

After sending off the Miyamoto hat, Bao Zixuan asked, "When will Yokoi Junpei arrive?"

Xiao Jiade: "The appointment is at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and there are still 45 minutes." After waiting in the cafe for about 40 minutes, everyone finally saw Yokoi Yokoi. Unlike new hires like Miyamoto Hat, Yokoi is now a mid-level manager at Nintendo.

Xiao Jiade left the private room after introducing him again.

Yokoi Junpei: "It turns out that Bao Sang is so young, it seems that I am really old."

Bao Zixuan: "How could Yokoi-kun say such a thing when he is only in his 30s!"

Yokoi Junpei: "I don't know what advice Bao Sang asked me from an employee of a competitor company to come over."

Bao Zixuan: "Today is a rival, tomorrow is a friend."

Yokoi Junpei: "I already know what Bao Sang called me to come here, but why did I give up my stable job to go to Hong Kong with you, a company that doesn't know when I can see hope! I'm not a game developer, a company A company doesn’t make a good console by making a few good games.”

Bao Zixuan: "The platform I can give you is something no company or individual can give you, and one year of work with me is equivalent to five years or more of your work at Nintendo. Heiyun is not a listed company, and the salary is not restricted by the board of directors. , our revenue this year may exceed 100 million US dollars. And I will provide your game console development department with no less than 10 million US dollars each year for research and development, I only send one financial person to oversee the accounts, and the rest are You have the final say. At the same time, you have to complete the tasks I gave you. I didn't plan to make money for the first three years, at least in your game console development department."

Yokoi: "What treatment can I get."

Bao Zixuan: "The annual salary is 600,000 US dollars. UUkanshu www.uukanshu.com will increase by 10% every three years, and you will receive a 3% commission on the profit of the product developed. This is valid for a long time. As long as you work in Heiyun until you retire, your family will enjoy it forever. This part of the income, unless the black cloud goes out of business. And there are future option awards. There are two opportunities to return to RB for the weekend every month, and the first-class air tickets are fully reimbursed, including your family.”

Yokoi: "I still have a contract in the company, so I can't leave easily."

Bao Zixuan: "The lawyer will take care of everything. After the two shake hands, you can boldly recruit the talents you need. This is up to you, Yokoi-kun."

In fact, Yokoi was not very happy at Nintendo during this period of time, and some of his development required a lot of money. And unlike games, which can bring benefits immediately, hardware products cannot be profitable until a certain number of sales are sold, so the board of directors and company management put a lot of pressure on him. After comprehensive consideration, Yokoi Junpei still agreed to accept Bao Zixuan's invitation.

It was still a ten-year contract. Yokoi Junpei didn't say anything. After signing the contract, Bao Zixuan handed over a check for $300,000 to Yokoi Junpei. He was completely relieved to see the huge sum of money. What is more reassuring is Bao Zixuan, because after bringing Yokoi Junpei and Miyamoto Hat to Xiangjiang, it is not so easy for Nintendo to rise.

Signed a check for 10 million yen and handed it to Xiao Jiade, and officially hired Xiao Jiade as the legal counsel of the RB branch of Heiyun Company. The first task given to him was to register some patents required for hardware, the most important being the shape of the handle and important hardware patents such as cross keys. Although He Mingcheng has been entrusted to register in Xiangjiang, the speed is not very fast. In the future, Xiao Jiade in RB will also be responsible for the work of registering patents.
