Chapter 71 Mr. Trump
"This is Mr. Trump, the head coach of the San Francisco Giants, the star team of Major League Baseball. Under his leadership, the San Francisco baseball team has moved from one glory to another, the pride of all San Francisco people, and the hope star of San Francisco baseball!"
Nick introduced to Takahashi, although Takahashi had known about Mr. Trump's life achievements before this.
Mr. Trump looked quite rich with light blonde hair, and his big arms and round waist looked very rich, and he listened to Nick's words and his chest was even bigger.
At this time, Nick turned around and introduced Takahashi to Mr. Trump, "This is Mr. Takahashi, the president of Wanhu Co., Ltd. In just two years, Wanhu Entertainment has become the leading game manufacturer in Japan and even the world. There are several home game games that have sold over one million, including Tetris, Bubble Dragon and other arcades, with sales exceeding 300,000 and 100,000 respectively. It is a rising star of light in the Japanese gaming industry."
"Hello."
"Hello."
Mr. Trump and Mr. Takahashi greeted each other friendly after Nick introduced them, and then the two shook hands friendly.
The two hands that were tightly clasped and shook, and then shook to Grandma's Bridge.
When I let go, my hands were already bloodless and pale because of the excessive force.
"Mr. Trump, I often watched baseball games when I was in Japan. At the beginning, I realized from the commentator of Japan that he said, 'It is because of Coach Trump that the San Francisco Giants are like real giants'. Since then, I have admired you very much. It is so lucky to have the honor to meet today." Takahashi said.
Mr. Trump is like a wild animal in a zoo. Although he lives in a civilized society, he still has a trace of wildness that comes from his bones.
He was still very happy when Takahashi was almost talking nonsense but verified compliments, but he said directly, "Don't compliments me like this. You found me because you wanted to make that video game, right? I have also taken on a lot of commercial advertisements. You can use my name, just talk about the price."
In the American sports industry, it is definitely a money-making industry. Because there are countless people's entertainment activities for sports competitions.
The tickets people buy on site, the radio they listen to while driving, and the TV they watch in the tavern are all banknotes that nourish the sports industry.
In the United States, the price is almost clearly marked, how much does a player cost and how much does a coach cost. Depending on the fame, the prices vary. Of course, coaches are a backstage job, and are far less likely to attract girls' screams than boys in front-stage games.
Therefore, the old men who have become coaches often receive far less attention than the active players.
The attention can be converted into money value, so the price tags of the coaches are as many as those of active players.
Then why did Takahashi not find the agents of those players, but found Mr. Trump, who is his agent?
It is because the sports electronic games that can be produced at this stage will not use a player as the main selling point at all.
Because, under the current technical conditions, unless all the players are made into three-headed Q-type characters, even if the players are not a mosaic, people cannot tell who is who.
Because of the hardware limitations, it means that the sports games that are now available are almost all the types of people who lead the entire team to win from the perspective of coaches.
Although in the actual game process, one team member after another will be used as the manipulators to switch continuously during the game.
However, such a player with no distinction will not make the player feel much more immersive even if he has a name. On the contrary, it would be better if he could put himself in the role of a coach.
In addition to Nick, the other one who came with Takahashi was John, who had just joined Wanhu North America.
After John met Takahashi who understood him, he became more open-minded, although he was still afraid of meeting more people. He was afraid that those people would hurt him. He still had the tendency to hurt others before others spoke. However, he was able to overcome his fear and follow Takahashi to communicate with these people in reality, rather than the "people" in the electronic tube on paper.
Strangely, although John believes that future games are interacting and socializing, he himself has social phobia and does not like socializing.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this mixed desire and fear that he has the current idea and wants to build a game based on interaction and socialization on the Internet.
Takahashi appreciates Trump's direct asking price, but his previous politeness and flattery are also indispensable. Although almost everyone will say that they don't like others saying things to compliment them.
However, often when these compliments are really spoken, they will still enjoy them happily.
Trump is such a person. What Takahashi said at the beginning was just some common routines, but the effect is pretty good at this moment.
"Ten thousand dollars." Takahashi said, "We will pay 10 thousand dollars to buy your name. After thinking about it, only a strategic master like you can be worthy of our baseball game. We would like to ask you to allow us to put your name before our game, and how about "Trump's Baseball"?"
Although Trump is more or less a celebrity, he is extremely happy about such things that can promote his reputation more or others give him money.
He said, "You must do the game well! I want to supervise you and make this game well! If you make a game like "e.t. Alien", I will definitely not allow it! Don't want to sell such games!"
"Of course not!" Takahashi replied calmly, but Nick, who was in the blind spot of Trump's vision, had a happy expression on his face.
You should know that 10,000 US dollars is just a naming fee. In fact, the expected ceiling of the naming fee is 100,000 US dollars. In addition to the naming fee, there is another amount of money, which is the cost of guiding the game.
You should know that people who can program and make games do not know baseball as an old coach. With the guidance of professionals, they can truly make a game look good.
The expected goal of achieving 200,000 US dollars was achieved at this moment.
A big profit!
