Chapter 44: Things Have Gotten Out of Hand

  Chìyáng Electronics Factory moved from the corner to the main entrance, from a remote place to the most prominent location in the Beijing Exhibition Area. The leaders and Yang Yun had a cordial conversation, shook hands, and were extremely enthusiastic.

  This scene was clearly visible on the Little Overlord's display stand not far away.

  However, there were deputy team leaders from Beijing exhibition area present, Shen Jun originally wanted to come over and mock a few words, but was stopped by Huang.

  Kidding me, I'm so busy that I don't even have time for lunch, my throat is hoarse, and you still want to go fight on someone else's turf?

  "Huang Zong, look, doesn't that group of people from Chi Yang look like a bunch of clowns? With this attitude, they're looking for a fight with us?" Shen Jun burst out laughing.

  Huang nodded and supported Shen Jun, mainly because Shen Jun had indeed done a few impressive things that made him look at him in a new light. Moreover, he super liked Shen Jun's competitive and aggressive personality. He believed that doing business was all about being competitive, defeating all enemies, and being the only one standing.

  The two of them looked at Yang Yun's side from time to time, laughing and chatting, while Zhao Yongping, who was sitting outside the two of them, didn't know what to say.

  Zhao Yongping is increasingly feeling suffocated and powerless, doing anything in the company feels stifling to him. He even secretly hopes that Yang Yun can launch a big satellite this year and sign a contract worth tens of millions of dollars.

  Foreign businessmen who had lunch returned to the exhibition hall one after another, visiting each exhibition area in turn. Of course, the first thing they saw was still the Guangdong Province Exhibition Area. Some buyers did not come in the morning, so more and more people gathered behind the Little King exhibition stand again.

  Huang Beiyang didn't leave this time, standing behind Duan Haisheng and watching the customers come and go.

  As expected, many foreigners noticed that Yang Yun was playing the Salomon Snake game and came with interest, standing behind to watch.

  Yang Yun demonstrated the game while explaining it in English, demonstrating each of the four games on the Chi Yang Si He Yi game card and answering many questions from customers.

  A tall white man asked curiously: "Excuse me, are you and that family the same?"

  That family refers to Guangdong Province Pavilion, Little King Company.

  "This gentleman, we are different companies."

  The white man continued to ask: "Are the contents of your two families' cards completely different?"

  Huang Bei-yang said: "Of course it's not the same, but our two machines are compatible, their cartridges can also be inserted into our machine for use. However, our Red Sun learning machine and game cards are sold as a set, we won't sell individual cartridges separately."

  This trick was taught by Yang Yun earlier, because a learning machine is sold at the highest profit as a whole machine, and selling the cartridge separately is not cost-effective, missing out on the money earned from the main machine.

  The best solution is for these overseas customers to purchase the full set of Red Sun learning machines, and also order Little Emperor game cards from Red Sun Electronics. This way, Red Sun can settle with the customer in US dollars, while Red Sun Electronics purchases the Little Emperor game cards domestically in RMB, avoiding waste of US dollars. The entire foreign exchange quota earned from exports can then be credited to the Beijing Foreign Trade Bureau.

  As soon as this plan was announced, Huang Bei Yang was overjoyed and praised Yang Yun for his cleverness. However, he also had some secret thoughts in his mind. The Little Overlord console had already sold 5 million units, and perhaps the distributors who signed contracts no longer needed the console itself but were only interested in the game cards from Chi Yang Electronics Factory. As long as the price was right, Huang Bei Yang would be willing to sell, and even if Chi Yang Factory opposed it, he would still force them to sign a contract.

  Many customers with intention turned around and walked towards the Little Tyrant's booth, they also need to confirm.

  Shen Jun didn't know what was wrong with him today, he kept staring at Yang Yun's side, and today he got stuck with him. As soon as he saw a few people walking in his direction from the other side, he hurriedly went to greet them warmly: "Welcome to Xiaobao Wang Electronic Industrial Company!"

  Yang Yun was also coldly smiling at Shen Jun, but his eyes flickered and saw several people walking over from the entrance, their momentum surging forward, rushing straight to the Guangdong exhibition area. He couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and smile.

  The leader is someone he knows, Xiao Dehua from Taiwan's Little Genius Company!

  Yang Yun's trump card has finally come into play!

  Japan has always been a game exporting country, so a purely foreign export-oriented Chinese exhibition like the Guangzhou Trade Fair would not be of interest to Nintendo.

  For the Japanese, precision instruments and equipment, high-quality parts, the most perfect game ideas, and the most outstanding game designers are all in Japan, while China is just a place for cheap labor output.

  However, Nintendo received a complaint from its partner company Konami that someone infringed on Konami's patented game "Cosmo Cruiser" at the China Joy autumn conference and intended to sell it outside mainland China.

  This behavior seriously affected the interests of Konami and Nintendo, so as a partner of Nintendo in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, Xiao Dehua of Little Genius received a notice and brought professional lawyers from Shenzhen Little Genius Operations Department to Yangcheng.

  Xiao Dehua came with a belly full of anger, because someone told him that the Little Emperor Company had signed at least $25 million in export orders, selling learning machines and game cards to all parts of the world, with North America being the most, and Asia and Africa not being few.

  Coleco's games being pirated and Nintendo's profits being hurt had nothing to do with Shigeru Miyamoto, but Coleco's most important profit-making method was the global sales of learning machines.

  Nintendo focused on Japan and the West, while Little Genius specialized in places that Nintendo didn't care about: Southeast Asia, Africa, South America, and the Soviet Union. Although these places were poor, they were more than enough to feed a Little Genius that only ate leftover food.

  Now Little Overlord actually wants to attack these underdeveloped areas, still selling the same machines and cartridges, Little Overlord Company has seriously affected the interests of Little Genius!

  Xiao Dehua absolutely cannot tolerate it!

  Yang Yun smiled, and the good show is about to begin!

  "May I ask who is in charge?" Xiao Dehua's voice was very loud.

  Zhao Yongping was busy in the back, Shen Jun heard: "I am. Are you thinking of purchasing a Little Emperor learning machine? Our learning machine..."

  Xiao Dehua coldly interrupted him, took a document from someone beside him and said: "Please immediately stop selling game cartridges with Russian Blocks and Space Cruisers, and please immediately notify your superior authorities. My team of lawyers demands to talk to him and reserves the right to sue you for illegally selling patented games without authorization and profiting from them!"

  "What... what do you mean?" Shen Jun didn't understand, Xiao Dehua's Taiwanese accent was very fast and somewhat roundabout, he was a bit confused.

  "A team of lawyers?" The people around also stared blankly, looking at these few people with unknown origins and poker faces, indeed seeming not quite right.

  Another person beside Xiao Dehua announced in English: "After verification by Konami Software Co., Ltd. of Japan, this company called Little Emperor Electronics Industry Co., Ltd. has not obtained the authorization of Konami games. Because they illegally produced and sold Konami game cartridges for profit, they will receive a court summons. Please note to all distributors who have signed procurement contracts with them that your contract with Little Emperor Company is invalid, please inform each other!"

  Wow...

  The entire booth was in an uproar. Those who were about to sign contracts and those who were signing contracts immediately stopped what they were doing, their eyes wide with wonder, staring at this side of the booth.

  "Halt! Stop! Who the hell are you to tell me to stop?! Shen Jun went mad, waving a stack of flyers in his hand: "Who are you people? Why are you spreading rumors here? Security! Security come quick! Get them away from me!"

  Rumble...

  Things have gotten out of hand, really out of hand!
