Game Development Giant

Chapter 319 Li Jianxi’s phone call

"oh?"

Hearing what the other party said, Jester also became interested in the second place he mentioned. He just went to the scene to take a look on the first day of the qualifiers. At that time, Umehara Daigo was killing everyone in the qualifiers, with almost no one. He is capable of defeating many people, but he never expected that there would be others who could fight him evenly.

While thinking about it, Jester asked for the results of the qualifying round.

Then I saw the second place directly.

"Richard Bruce." Jester read out the name above, and then looked at his nationality, British. It showed that he ranked second in the qualifiers, losing only to Daigo Umehara. One game, and even in the losing game, the battle between the two was quite anxious. In the best-of-five game, Umehara Daigo won three to two in the end. In the end, he even won quite thrillingly, using a brking technique to succeed. Only with the final combo did he defeat Richard Bruce.

This time, there was basically no suspense in the match between Umehara Daigo and Park Zhiheng. Although it was a tie-break match, Umehara Daigo still played quite easily. At the beginning, they banned each other's characters. Umehara Daigo was in the previous qualifiers. It has also been revealed that one of the roles he is good at is Ken, ≡万≠书≡巴≠小≠说.nsb.m. In the competition with Richard, he took the initiative to choose the role of Ken twice. Park Zhiheng had obviously done intelligence gathering in this area before, so he banned Ken from the very beginning.

When Umehara Daigo faced the opponent and banned a character he was good at, his face showed no expression. As a master of "Street Fighter", it is naturally impossible for him to be good at only one character. Before Umehara Daigo, he had been using After a long period of random observation, he should be good at a lot of characters. First, Park Zhiheng banned the characters, then Umehara Daigo banned them, and then Umehara Daigo made the first choice.

Daigo Umehara obviously didn't know anything about what Park Zhiheng was good at using. He must have read the opponent's information before. This is the finals. Umehara Daigo doesn't want to ban anyone casually. The slightest mistake here may cause irreparable losses. After all, it is the knockout round. In the previous In the competition, the character Park Zhiheng used the most was Gu Lie, and Umehara Daigo also chose this forbidden character.

After selecting the characters that were banned, Umehara Daigo also selected the ones he would use. Zangirv.

This character did not appear many times in previous games. More than 80% of the appearances were in the hands of Umehara Daigo. It seems that this character, in the hands of Umehara Daigo, can explode with power that is completely different from other players. Park Zhiheng frowned when he saw that Umehara Daigo chose the Soviet wrestler Zangirv who rarely appeared. He had heard that Umehara Daigo was very good at using this unpopular character, but it was impossible to have so many videos to play back in this era. He used the opponent's game process to find flaws, and he had never seen Umehara Daigo's use of Zangief with his own eyes, so. Seeing that the other party chose this role, and he had personally experienced the other party's strength during the preliminaries, so he couldn't help but feel a layer of darkness in his heart.

After thinking for nearly a minute. Until the time to choose was about to come, for the sake of safety, he chose Chunli, his best choice, which was very easy to use. Also a very powerful character.

Then, the game begins.

Twelve minutes later, Jester watched as Chun-Li's health was cleared from the sky and hit the ground by one of Zangirv's secret skills, Cyclone Piling, on the big screen. A bright red K word appeared on the big screen at the scene, and he applauded heartily. Fighting games of this era naturally cannot be as exciting as later generations, but in his opinion, this game is simply Umehara Daigo. exhibition match.

Although Umehara Daigo won seven games in a row without a single perfect kill, through these seven games, Umehara Daigo performed an almost perfect teaching drill for the players and players present. , in the hands of Umehara Daigo, this is not very easy to use. Many people even think that this character is very difficult to use well. Even if it is used well, the energy spent on this character is enough to practice other more useful characters. .

But through these five games, Umehara Daigo has told those who are biased against the character of Zangief, you are wrong.

After the game ended, the audience stood up and gave Umehara Daigo a very warm applause. Jester also applauded. He looked at the schedule in his hand and concluded that this morning's game was over. The four-to-two race will not start until three o'clock in the afternoon, and it will be drawn on the spot. In the hall on the other side, there is the "All American Rallycross" race. However, the interpreter estimated the time on his forehead, and the race there should be coming to an end soon. Yes, their finals are tomorrow afternoon, before the closing ceremony of the carnival, so Jester is too lazy to go and watch. It happens that he hasn't eaten all morning, and at this time Jester also feels a little hungry.

He was just about to go out to a fast food restaurant not far from the Anaheim Convention Center to solve his stomach problem, but far away, Jester saw one of his assistants walking towards him in a hurry. Came over quickly.

Before Jester could figure out what was going on, the assistant had already arrived in front of Jester. Then, the news the assistant brought really surprised Jester.

A phone call just came to my office.

The caller was no stranger to Jester, it was Lee Kun-hee who was far away in South Korea.

After receiving the report from his assistant, Jester nodded, and then drove directly to the company headquarters. While rushing him, he was still thinking about what would happen when Li Jianxi suddenly called him.

He is a strategic partner of Samsung. In Samsung Trading Company, he is the second largest shareholder after the Lee family. After the death of the founder of Samsung Trading Company, Lee Byung-cheol, a year ago, he started relying on Lee Byung-cheol's will. The purge was so massive that it could even be called a ruthless purge. The targets of the purge were naturally his brother Li Mengxi and the veterans of the companies who supported his brother.

Over the past year, Samsung has also been slowly recovering from this traumatic purge. Just recently, judging from the board meeting documents handed over by Samsung, Lee Kun-hee has indeed changed many of Samsung’s internal rules. , a series of changes were made. These changes were obviously well thought out and were similar to what Jester remembered about Samsung’s reforms just after Lee Kun-hee came to power.

Anaheim Center is not far from Costa Mesa. It's more than half an hour's drive. After Jester rushed back to the company, he immediately called Li Jianxi back.

It was probably still late at night in Korea at this time, which was why Jester was confused. He couldn't figure out why the other party called him so late. But as soon as he picked up the phone, Jester knew, I thought wrong.

"I'm in New York."

Li Jianxi's voice on the phone was a little unhappy, but Jester could also tell that the unhappiness was not directed at him.

Before Jester could speak, he heard Li Jianxi continue.

"I came to the United States this time mainly to examine the market prospects of our Samsung US branch in the United States. I also sent you our company's financial report some time ago. I don't know if you have read it. Our products are in the North American market. , there was almost no sales, and I always listened to the reports of some people below, but I felt that I couldn’t tell anything, so I decided to do it myself without notifying anyone.”…

"I have visited more than a dozen large shopping malls in New York in the past two days. I have to say that here, Japanese products, especially consumer electronics from giants like Sony and Panasonic, occupy the most important position, followed by the United States and Europe. You can tell by the location and size of their counters in shopping malls... As for our Samsung products, I have only seen them in two not-so-high-end shopping malls, and even In these two low-end shopping malls, our Samsung products do not occupy a very important position."

"Furthermore, I found that our products are crudely made and ugly in appearance. Needless to say, Americans who don't know anything about our products, even myself, have similar products from Sony, Sharp, and Panasonic next to me for comparison. Under the circumstances, even if their price is much more expensive than ours, I will not buy it."

"I feel very disappointed. You told me before that our Samsung's future lies in consumer electronics. I think so too, but from the current point of view, the gap between us and these Japanese manufacturers is really too big. It’s so big that it’s hard for us to compete at the moment…”

Hearing this series of similar complaints, Jester could hear Li Jianxi's disappointment. In his mind, Li Jianxi came to the United States to see on the spot why Samsung's products could not be sold in the US market, but When he personally visited the site and understood the gap between himself and the world's top companies, he felt deeply disappointed.

After all, he is also the second largest shareholder of Samsung, so of course he needs to take some responsibility for Samsung.

After thinking for a while, Jester organized his words. He was thinking about what kind of advice he should give to Li Jianxi. However, after Jester thought about it for a while, he felt that these things could not be understood on the phone and they had to meet in person. Interview afterwards.

Therefore, Jester could only say to Li Jianxi.

"Well, I'll go to New York the day after tomorrow and tell you in person."
