(Three chapters in the morning need to be replaced, but the result was copied incorrectly. I'm very sorry, it's right now)

Although the experiences that Schulkhof just summarized are slightly hindsighted in this time and space view.

But in the original history, it was a very valuable lesson.

According to the deduction of parallel worlds, this lesson needs to be exchanged for Nintendo's blood with the blood of a generation of products.

Historically, Nintendo has never confronted Atari head-on during the game console market handover from 1983 to 1984 - Nintendo entered a recession blank market after seeing Atari collapse and regained land.

It's a bit like after being killed by a bandit in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing soldiers went directly to the pass to get a bargain. (Of course, in history, the Qing soldiers fought with the Ming Dynasty for many years outside the pass, so this example is not suitable. Nintendo should be equivalent to a lucky dog ​​who "has never fought with the Ming army at all, but directly picked up the mess of the bandits.")

Therefore, such an alternation between the old and the new makes game console practitioners all over the world not pay enough attention to the power of "first-party exclusive masterpieces".

Everyone thinks that "the main reason for determining the outcome of the game console industry is the hardware quality and cost-effectiveness of the game console. As for exclusive games, it is not very important. If you increase the share of the game console first, you will naturally have software vendors to curry favor with you and develop good games for you."

Therefore, after 12 years of dominating the global game console industry, Nintendo encountered Waterloo - the "Final Fantasy 7" turnaround.

I won't go into details to avoid water.

In a nutshell, the first masterpiece of the SFC era, "Final Fantasy 6", is about to be eliminated by SFC, and both Ren/Soviet parties have to iterate to N64/PS respectively. Because Nintendo refused to give special benefits to game developers, fearing that the team would not be able to lead the team after special operations. Because Sony is a new entry, it takes the requirements of the masterpiece developer, and then "Final Fantasy 7" changed to PS exclusive.

Finally, "Final Fantasy 7" sold a total of 100 million copies on the PS platform, doubled the 6th generation. At that time, most players were still hesitating about "whether the new generation of machines buy PS or N64", so they were pulled away by the banner of "exclusive "Final Fantasy 7" and became Sony's fans. (In 1996, before the release of FF7, N64's sales were originally higher than PS, but the situation completely reversed after 1997, and N64's final global sales were only one-quarter of PS.)

This incident sounded a wake-up call for game console manufacturers around the world: game consoles have no user stickiness or loyalty.

Therefore, you can be tough, but once you catch up with the critical year when the game console system needs to be replaced, if you determine what kind of appeal is on the market, even if the game developers are in a harsh manner, even if they have to ride on the main manufacturer and let the main manufacturer be their grandson, you have to temporarily agree to his conditions.

Otherwise, your country may collapse instantly.

It is no exaggeration to say that "Final Fantasy 7" was built for it. Regardless of the years, they all look down on the status of game developers. If they want to always maintain the strong "Party A" game console dealer is destined to pay a heavy price.

A good host should be tough for four or five years, and then kneel down for one or two years, and repeat it over and over again. When it should be hard, when it should be licked, lick it freely, and repeat it over and over again.

For example, the competition between Kun and Nintendo is about to begin today is the same. Although Tiankun has the advantage of first-mover attacking, if it weren't for the outstanding first-party exclusive masterpiece like "Future Warrior", it would be possible that the opponent would be turned over by the opponent's hit-and-shooting game just by relying on hardware.

After all, Nintendo can use masterpieces like "Super Mario" to fight Gu Ao's "Adventure Island 2". If Nintendo creates some popular shooting games, it may not be impossible to fight.

...

Shurchoff's statement is certainly not as specific as Gu Ao's introspection.

Therefore, after Shulhof finished speaking, Gu Ao made a summary and emphasized that everyone must not be arrogant in the future. Even if Tiankun’s game consoles occupy the market in this generation, they must always be alert to the “risk of intergenerational replacement” to prevent repeating Atari’s mistakes.

This awareness of being prepared for danger in times of peace and decisive courage made his subordinates amazed.

"I'll be here today. Let Conner take you to the hotel later. I have something to do. Let me chat with you tomorrow." Gu Ao brought tea to see you off.

Schulhof and others stood up and said goodbye.

William Clark, who was standing beside him, looked embarrassed and watched the others go out before saying, "Didn't disturb you from handling the business? Actually, I'm just here to express my gratitude today, but I didn't expect..."

When he first came, Clark still had some doubts about Gu Ao, and was very worried about what he was thinking about every day.

However, just now, after listening to the business meeting discussion between Gu Ao and his subordinates for a while, Clark believed that Gu Ao has really turned a blind eye to the outside world during this period and is truly competing for the initiative in the game console market.

Because the practical things Gu Ao and Shurhof said are practical and useful, and they are very insightful, and they cannot be pretended.

The determination and courage that Schulkhof and others felt in the end, as well as the corresponding reactions, were also from the heart.

Even veteran actors like William Clark who engage in diplomacy can't see any flaws.

So, a good person like Gu Ao, of course, just want to help more friends and go more ways, so how can he plot against others?

Gu Ao waved his hand slightly to stop the other party from being polite, and Xu Fu signaled the other party to sit down on the sofa, while slowly saying:

"Mr. Consultant, you are really surprised that you will come to me. However, this is also a recognition of the academic level of the tutor Kissinger. I am honored to bring honor to him."

Gu Ao's words are very skillful, neither humble nor arrogant. He neither shows off his character because he has done kindness to the other party, nor does he respect the other party's MG status just because he is the national security adviser to the US president.

Instead, it would be very stunning to attribute everything to the mentor.

William Clark is also a half-person genius, and smiled slightly: "Professor Kissinger's ability is a long-tested and obvious to all the United States. It is a blessing for the United States to continue to care about state affairs in Georgetown.

However, as his proud soccer, you naturally have great talents. I have already found out about this incident. From Grena to Argentina, the most reliable emergency plan was all about Professor Kissinger's suggestions. As for the messing part, it was Schultz's staff who were too hasty.

In the part that Professor Kissinger contributed, I believe you can't be completely out of the matter. I believe that you have provided at least a lot of creativity and perspective. This is tantamount to saving my political future. Gu, I hope you can win your friendship."

The US President's national security adviser and the second-ranked figure in the field of US diplomacy, second only to the Secretary of State.

Such a person actually came to Gu Ao to make a hard-core friend with him, and outsiders would probably find it incredible if they talked about it.

Former national security advisers who have friendship or interactions with Gu Ao cannot be said to be without them. After all, his mentor Kissinger was a national security adviser before becoming Secretary of State.

There is also the Brzezinski, who was stepping on the pedal at the time, who was also a national security consultant.

However, they made friends with Gu Ao or tried to make friends, but they were all after they stepped down and not when they were in office.

Especially after Brzezinski left office, his reputation almost became bad. Gu Ao only maintained some basic connections at the level of politeness and maintained this line, and did not want to overwhelm it for the time being.

Now, William Clark has made history.

From another perspective, William Clark did this with a perfect scale.

Because in terms of effect, Gu Ao really saved his political future. This time, when dealing with the Grenada emergency, if he was not able to find a strict excuse for the president to immediately use force and hear and defend the Congress, what use is the president to keep him?

Historically, William Clark was fired by Li Gen for the sake of this ineffective treatment. The national security adviser seemed to have a high status, but after all, he was a private slave of the president. If the president didn't want you, you'll be done.

Although he has not been fired now, Clark has fully realized the crisis of "if this matter was not done, the president would definitely fire me." At this time, someone came over with a life-saving straw, and he must be grateful, otherwise he would not be able to survive in Watsonton's circle in the future and no one would help him.

Gu Ao originally just wanted to mess with Argentina and New Zealanders and make money from it.

Unexpectedly, when the smoke bomb used as a cover was released, I received some other additional benefits.

The extent of this effect made him feel a little guilty.

Gu Ao couldn't help but tempt: "But, this time you were in a hurry. I heard from the professor that it seemed to have caused some stiff impact?"

William Clark sighed: "You have heard of it, but it's okay. The New Zealanders are lost, and there are no Americans. We bite to death and don't relax, and then we are a little arrogant. If we encounter arbitration, we will support Argentina unconditionally, and it will pass soon. Compared to limiting Soviet exports, these small prices are acceptable."

Anyway, it’s not Americans who pay the bills. Isn’t it okay for other brothers to pay orders for their medical accidents? Do you still want your brother to compensate you?

Gu Ao was secretly happy, but his expression was "there was thunder in his chest and the face was like frost", and there was no flaw at all.

Already got away with it.

If you want to blame, you can only blame CIA for being too rough and sending tasks on a single line, and then adapting to the situation later. If you can't understand which ABC case is to run away, there is nothing you can do.

Gu Ao: "Is that so? I'm really busy lately. After talking about creativity with the professor, I didn't have time to care about these things - you know, my current main competitor, Nintendo in Japan, just launched a game console called FC at the end of last month.

I'm thinking about how to surround it every day, and I don't have the energy to consider anything else. After your analysis, I suddenly realized."

Clark: "Where is, Gu, you are just too busy. With your IQ, if you really calm down, you will understand it in a few minutes. From now on, as long as it is a win-win situation with the United States, you can always find me. I believe that the Chinese people are friendly to the United States. In fact, even if you want to buy some advanced weapons or something, you will not be able to discuss it - of course you are doing business, and you may not have this demand, so I'll just give an example."

Gu Ao: "I understand, I have already felt your friendship."

In the third update, pass this plot quickly in one breath.

It’s better to go through the third update tomorrow. In this way, I paid back two more updates in February, leaving only 10 more updates to 3 months.

I will definitely pay it back in March. I sent the wrong message at the first time at around 5 o'clock. I only found out after washing up. I was very sorry.
Chapter completed!
