Chapter 23 Several Methods of Finding Breakthrough Points

Since you have said all-responsible words, you must do your best.

After a brief thought, Takahashi did not send out the drafted fax, but asked Shinichi Nakamoto, "Does we have information about the American company here?"

Shin Nakamoto thought for a while and said, "Yes!"

"Help find it." Takahashi said.

As he said, he placed the red and white machine and Apple-II monitor side by side, and then turned on the "Golden Digger" in the two machines at the same time, carefully distinguishing all the differences between the two games with a serious expression she had never had before.

Play a little and record it, and soon the paper under Takahashi's hand was filled with corresponding entries.

"Finally found!"

The records on Takahashi were almost done, and Shinichi Nakamoto also walked over with a large stack of information.

These materials include magazines, periodicals, newspapers, and multiple perspectives depicting the developer of Gold Digger Doug, as well as the distribution company of "Gold Digger", Broad Bond.

Only by knowing yourself and others can you win every battle.

Takahashi prepared both ways. On the one hand, he recorded the differences between the two versions of "Gold Digger" one by one, and tried his best to be familiar with it. On the other hand, he found all the information that could be found from the other company and game producers. Read these information and try to feel their style of conduct.

Perhaps some inconspicuous detail is the winner of the entire negotiation.

Kudo Hiro, who was leisurely like a floating cloud, still admired him as he watched Takahashi busy up and down.

There are many people with higher education in this era, but not many people are doing things in an orderly manner. They are not flustered when encountering major events, and can handle problems in an orderly manner. Such people are talented no matter when and where they are judged in any way.

However, appreciation does not mean protection. Kudo Hiroshi has already thought about it. If Takahashi failed to deal with this matter, he would definitely not protect him.

So what if you play the game well, do things in an organized manner?

What Japan now lacks the most is talent.

Throw a brick over Tokyo, and nine out of ten people were talented.

Since seeing the power of capital, Kudo Hiroshi is increasingly feeling how small and incompetent a person is.

He firmly believes that as long as there is enough capital, there will be no shortage of talents.

Of course, he also knew that the attitude of large companies in Tokyo toward prospective graduates in the past two years was like a patron of ancestors. Not only did they sponsor tuition fees, but they also paid money to students they liked in various names, and even arranged academic trips as soon as they were on vacation. Students would choose wherever they wanted, and would play whatever they wanted to meet all requirements, just to prevent them from having time to contact other companies and accidentally get poached.

Of course, while many students enjoy such treatment, some people also hate it. They think it is sugar-coated shells and house arrest. They even almost made a fuss because of this.

Hiro Kudo has always looked at those big companies with a joke attitude.

Hudson doesn't need to do this at all, because top students and ordinary people are the same in the electronic game industry, starting from scratch.

Instead of hiring top students who are above the top job, it is better to find more ordinary people.

Of course, there are still some famous gaming talents in the industry like Shinichi Nakamoto who still have to work hard to win over.

However, this kind of game talent is different from top students and cannot be mass-produced. For example, mutant species have extremely small probability of appearing, and may not appear anywhere.

Takahashi also looks like a game talent, but Kudo Hiroshi believes that although there are not many talents at his level, he will never encounter them again.

Sacrifice to him this time can prove his worth very much.

The magazine "Softline" commented, "Lode-Runner-is-smooth, thoughful-and-addictive."

“The Gold Digger is so fun and addictive.”

The well-known electronic game magazine "CGW Computer Game World" also made a big fame, "one-of-the-few-thing-men's-arcade-games."

“This is a rare game that requires brain use.”

Of course, Takahashi didn't look at these correct nonsense. When he was checking the information, he found that the reason why he chose Broadbond as the publisher was because the other three of the four major publishers at that time, Mamai Online, Sirius, and Mutual Aid Entertainment, only gave a buyout price of 100,000 US dollars.

BroadBond gives Doug a ladder price, which is a bit similar to a bet agreement. When the game is sold for 10,000 copies, Doug will get a 23% share of the sales.

This is obviously different from the rumors Takahashi heard about.

What does this small detail mean? Doug is a very confident game developer. If Broadbond is not very optimistic about this game and wants to squeeze out other competitors, they are not optimistic about this game at all. They believe that although this game can make money, its sales will not be high and they cannot make a lot of money. In this way, according to the gradient agreement, the money paid will be much lower than the buyout price of 100,000 US dollars.

In addition, BroadBond Company also asked Doug to add animations, sound effects, and new titles and new names "Golden Digger Lode-Runner", which shows that this is a very controllable company.

Takahashi looked at the Broadbond company in the information and had a headache. Judging from the company's behavior, this company is very strong and centered on itself. If you want to convince them, the difficulty can be said to be hell.

However, there are always more ways than difficulties, and there must be ways to convince them.

After reading the information in his hand, Takahashi sent the fax he had drafted earlier. Before the other party replied, he had already started preparing to reply.

Taking the founding brothers and sisters of the company as clues and searching for their background information, Takahashi found a point that could be used - the brothers and sisters were very poor when they were young.

With a little basic psychological knowledge, you will know that many adult behaviors are actually feedback on their childhood experiences.

Lack of food and clothing in childhood often means that you will become a "successful person" and become a greedy for money.

I have been poor and miserable, so I am afraid of suffering and poverty again.

In this way, you can prescribe the right medicine, be strong, right? But if you want to keep being strong, you should look at the money and wait and see.

"President, how did our Gold Digger sign with the American company and what are the conditions?" Takahashi asked Hiroshi Kudo.

Kudo recalled and said, "A million dollar red and white machine copyright buyout."

"Sure?"

"Sure."

Takahashi brushed a few lines of words on the paper and handed them to Hiroshi Kudo and said, "Can we do this with such conditions?"

"This..." Kudo Hiroshi was a little hesitant when he saw the words on the paper.

"I'm full responsibility." Takahashi said firmly,
