Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

"Have all the models been localized?" Bai Chuanfeng looked around with his Walkman.

"Hay, except for the body of the Walkman, the packaging and instructions are all translated into English."

The head of the manufacturing department, Yamaguchi, stood behind Bai Chuanfeng, explaining patiently.

This is the first batch of goods to be shipped to the United States on the other side of the ocean. Some inscriptions on the casing have all been changed to English.

And in order to adapt to the US market, but also to differentiate it from local products.

Some differentiated changes have been made in the color matching, and the colors such as blue and green that the American people prefer are replaced.

Bai Chuanfeng is even thinking about whether to release a white Walkman alone, he knows that old beauties like this kind of tone.

"Cooperate with the legal department to carefully review the contents of the manual.

The laws of each continent in the United States are different, and we must pay attention to avoiding the influence of this aspect. "

Bai Chuanfeng handed the Walkman in his hand to Yamaguchi, and made another special statement.

Exporting to foreign markets is such a trouble, and we must always pay attention to all kinds of strange legal provisions.

"Hay" Kazuo Yamaguchi took the Walkman, he was both nervous and excited.

That's the country of the United States. It's unbelievable that our products are going to be sold in the country of the United States.

In Kazuo Yamaguchi's impression, the United States is invincible.

Now that Baichuan Electric's products can be sold to the other side of the ocean, he feels a little excited for no reason.

If the products produced by itself can conquer the US market, then this might be another victory for Neon.

Bai Chuanfeng didn't know what Kazuo Yamaguchi was imagining. What he cared about was that the first batch of shipments must be guaranteed to go smoothly.

In fact, it is not the first batch, to be precise, it is the first batch of the second-generation Walkman.

The first-generation model has already been launched on a trial basis in Marshall's department stores in some areas.

The response has been very positive, and Marshall has been pushing for new models to ship.

The new model in the local market has just been launched, and the localization for the US market was not completed until this month due to limited production capacity.

Bai Chuanfeng also went through it himself before he was relieved.

Recently, he plans to fly to the United States again.

On the one hand, it can be regarded as escorting the launch of new products, and on the other hand, there are other things to do.

When Bai Chuanfeng was making the final explanation to Kazuo Yamaguchi, Asuka Kobayashi hurried over.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing her serious face, Bai Chuanfeng said something to Kazuo Yamaguchi, and walked aside with her alone.

"Nakamura Masaya-san called. He hopes you can come over."

When Kobayashi Asuka just received the call, she felt from the other party's tone that it must not be a pleasant thing.

"Namco?" Bai Chuanfeng was taken aback.

I just finished discussing cooperation with the other party last month, what can I do now.

But doubts are doubts, Bai Chuanfeng is still planning to go there immediately.

The headquarters of Namco is also in Ota District, not too far from Shirakawa Electric.

After only ten minutes of driving, Bai Chuanfeng and Kobayashi Asuka had already arrived at each other's gate.

It is still the vermilion building with the white logo.

"Bai Chuan-san, your company must give me an explanation!"

As soon as Nakamura Masaya saw Bai Chuanfeng, he questioned angrily.

Bai Chuanfeng was even more puzzled, but he also knew that this was not the time to talk nonsense.

"Nakamura-san, please tell me what happened?

If the responsibility lies with Baichuan Electric, I will definitely give you an explanation! "

Seeing that Bai Chuanfeng was still responsible, Nakamura Masaya finally calmed down a little from the anger in his heart.

"Please come with me." Saying that, Nakamura Masaya led the way without saying a word.

Bai Chuanfeng and Kobayashi Asuka looked at each other, and then followed them calmly.

After a while, the group came to a game hall, no, this is different from the game hall.

Surrounding the arcade are not young people or children playing games, but Staff-san in overalls.

This is the place where Namco tries to play arcade games. Not only arcade machines developed by itself, but also products made by other manufacturers are also displayed here.

"Shirakawa-san, please look!" Under the leadership of Nakamura Masaya, a group of people came to an arcade machine.

Um? The moment he saw this arcade machine, Bai Chuanfeng had a feeling of deja vu.

The cool promotional poster of the space plane is exactly the same as the one on the handheld of Baichuan Electric.

Is this Namco transplanting their own "Thunderbolt"? The speed is quite fast.

Under the gesture of Nakamura Masaya, Bai Chuanfeng excitedly went up to experience it.

Well, not bad, the restoration is very good, and I have made some innovations of my own.

And because the arcade machine has a color display, the experience is more exciting and impactful than the handheld machine.

However, limited by chips and logic circuit technology, arcade machines at this moment are still far behind compared to later generations.

But overall, it's pretty good.

As for why Nakamura-san looked so angry just now, Bai Chuanfeng didn't understand, so he decided to send a rainbow fart first.

"Nakamura-san, your company's "Thunderbolt" is very well designed. To be honest, it is much more exciting than the handheld."

"This is not our product!"

Um? ! !

Bai Chuanfeng was dumbfounded!

Kobayashi Asuka was also dumbfounded.

They looked at each other, and then at the people around them.

Only then did they realize that, except for themselves, everyone else had strange expressions.

Especially Masaya Nakamura, whose face was almost black.

After realizing it, Bai Chuanfeng quickly returned to the arcade and looked carefully, and finally found the logo in an inconspicuous corner at the bottom of the screen.

A logo he is familiar with, Nintendo!

Nintendo? !

Duang~A bell ringing echoed in Bai Chuanfeng's head...

This old six! After regaining his senses, Bai Chuanfeng felt his blood pressure go up.

"So your company authorized "Thunderbolt" to Nintendo again?" At this time, the dark-faced Nakamura Masaya asked angrily again.

"Absolutely nothing!"

Bai Chuanfeng finally knew the reason for the other party's anger, and Nanmenggong thought that he ate two fishes from "Thunder and Lightning".

"Nakamura-san, Shirakawa Electric is a highly reputable company and will never do such a thing!"

Just kidding, small clubs may do this kind of thing, but with the current scale of Baichuan Electric, they definitely don't bother to do so.

"So…"

Seeing that Bai Chuanfeng is so swearing, and considering that Bai Chuan Electric's reputation is indeed not bad.

Nakamura Masaya believed what Bai Chuanfeng said for the time being, if this is the case...

The two looked at each other, and then turned to the Nintendo arcade in unison.

Finally, under Bai Chuanfeng's piercing eyes, he saw the difference in the name of this arcade machine.

Thunder hail? ! lightning? !

Damn, Nintendo, the sixth son, is simply a genius!

Putting these two traditional Chinese characters together, even Bai Chuanfeng, a Chinese native, can hardly see the difference.

Not to mention the neon people around me.

Lao Ren has captured the essence of the cottage, talent.

Regardless of emotion, Bai Chuanfeng pointed out the difference between the two to Masaya Nakamura.

"Ba Ga, these guys are bastards!"

Nakamura Masaya cursed angrily, why?

Because their Namco's "Thunderbolt" arcade machine has just been completed, and today is the first day of listing.

However, it was overtaken by Nintendo, and there are already similar arcade machines in the game arcade.

This... Lao Ren is really not a good person.

Although it was not the owner who caused the loss, the other party also violated the copyright of Baichuan Electric.

"Bai Chuan-san, do you have any suggestions?" Because it concerns two clubs, Nakamura Masaya is also seeking Bai Chuan Feng's opinion.

"Nakamura-san, my suggestion is to sue!" Bai Chuanfeng was not used to Lao Ren, and he would take action when it was time to do so.

"Prosecute?" Nakamura Masaya frowned.

It's not that he doesn't want to sue, but the current environment. Even if you sue, there is a high probability that it will be useless in the end.

Because this phenomenon is too frequent and common, everyone is copying me and copying you.

In fact, Namco also launched its own defense game based on "Brickbreaker".

It's just that Nintendo's copying is too obvious this time, and what's more important is the copyright that Namco paid for.

Before I put it into commercial use, I was preempted by the other party's prostitution. This is the reason why Nakamura Masaya is so angry.

As for plagiarism, to be honest, he was used to it.

But Bai Chuanfeng doesn't think so, even if the prosecution has no substantial benefits in the end.

Then it is a good deal to be able to occupy the commanding heights of morality and accuse the other party.

Can't help it? maybe.

But it is still possible to splash dirty water on you and win the sympathy of the players.

Don't underestimate the propaganda in the public opinion field. The ancients have told us the truth that the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest.

By the way, it is also a deterrent to other friends and merchants, so don't reach out indiscriminately.

So when it comes to suing, it's time to spend some money on public opinion propaganda.

"Nakamura-san, this matter must not end here.

Otherwise, the video game market will only become more and more chaotic in the future. If this continues, who is willing to concentrate on making games?

Namco is also a game content producer, will such a thing happen to your company in the future? "

Nintendo is also cunning, he did not port "Thunder" to his own handheld, but changed the platform.

It is unreasonable for similar or similar games to appear on handhelds.

After all, handheld players might play both games, and that would reveal their secrets all at once, and the impact would not be very good.

As a listed company, Nintendo still needs to show some face.

But put it on the arcade, the senses are different.

After all, the arcade machine has a CTR color screen, and the handheld machine has an LCD black and white screen. There is a huge gap between the two.

If you don't compare it with Namco's arcade machines, it is really not easy to associate the two with each other, and the gameplay is similar at most.

So the old man is cunning.

Nakamura Masaya thought about it for a while, and felt that what Bai Chuanfeng said made sense.

Namco is also a game content producer, if he does not maintain the copyright of original content, no one will care about your interests in the future.

"Alright, just follow what Bai Chuan-san said.

Namco will contact Nintendo. If the other party does not immediately stop the sales of related game consoles, we will sue immediately. "

As a traditional neon person, Nakamura Masaya first thought of the conservative idea of ​​negotiating with the other party.

But Bai Chuanfeng doesn't care, he knows how Nintendo will choose.

"Nakamura-san, the legal department of Shirakawa Electric will act together with Namco."

Although the contract is signed, the copyright of the "Thunderbolt" arcade machine has been owned by Namco.

But as a creator, Shirakawa Electric can also serve as an assistant, giving Namco a wave.

"So please Bai Chuan-san."

Nakamura Masaya was overwhelmed by Shirakawa Kaede's integrity.
