Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

Chapter 487 391. The glimmer of fireflies lights up the world

…

As the news of pokeni's acquisition of Sega spread, the global game industry was shaken, and countless game manufacturers were trembling with fear one by one.

The game industry is going to change, and the guys are all terrified.

The most critical point is whether we should re-align with the team and what changes will happen in the future. Everyone is now in the guessing stage.

Square's president, Mr. Masashi Miyamoto, was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time after seeing the relevant news.

Before this, pokeni was considered one of Square's competitors. Both companies made games, and both were frequent visitors to PS.

It is Sony's largest third party.

If it hadn't been for the previous falling out with Hiroshi Yamauchi, Square would still be Rentendo's largest third party now.

However, after pokeni acquired Sega, it suddenly changed from a third-party game production company to a first-party, that is, a game platform company. This change was really unexpected and directly caused Miyamoto to Masashi's heart almost beat out of his chest.

I expected something big to happen this year, but I didn't expect it to happen on such a big scale, and I was caught off guard and completely unprepared.

What does it mean?

In the future, pokeni will not only be the largest game manufacturer, but may also become the second largest game console developer.

With multiple identities, it is obvious that the relationship between Square and pokeni is about to undergo subtle changes.

Square is like a brick, it can be moved wherever it is needed.

Miyamoto Masashi's rule of life has always been to not offend anyone who is young and can't be offended. Maybe he and Qing Zhiyuan will have a wonderful cooperation in the future.

But...

It seems a little too early to consider these things now.

Qing Zhiyuan has not yet announced the future Sega development plan, and he does not know what kind of things he will make. To be honest, in Miyamoto Masashi's view, Qing Zhiyuan's side is completely up to date.

You don't even know what he has in his hand and whether he wants to punch it out.

So far, everyone has speculated that they will go into full-scale war with Sony, but this is just a guess, and Qing Zhiyuan has not expressed his position.

However, Miyamoto Masashi feels that Qing Zhiyuan should be a smart man, and once he can take action, Square will inevitably become the target of winning over.

Now for him, the best way is to wait and see what happens, what to do or what to do.

Until Sega makes any new moves, Miyamoto Masashi must still hold onto Sony's lap as the best option.

…

Capcom president Kenzo Tsujimoto was also confused.

"What? Pokeni actually bought Sega?!"

This news is even more shocking than the fact that the yen has depreciated again today.

The depreciation of the yen has now become so commonplace that people have become accustomed to it, but one day it will eventually pass, Tsujimoto Kenzo firmly believes.

However, P Corp’s acquisition of Sega is a bit unbelievable.

ah……

If this happens, the console market will be in turmoil again, and many things will change in the future.

For the previous Sega Saturn, performance was one thing, but the lack of exclusive game masterpieces was a fatal problem.

But after the acquisition of pokeni, it was completely different. Now pokeni is recognized as the world's top game manufacturer in the field of game development.

You can even think that the games developed by p company are not made for this era at all, but are truly the next era, at least two or three years ahead of the present.

pokeni's games have become exclusive products of their own platforms...

What a powerful advantage this is!

Tsujimoto Kenzo only saw Pokeni's software strength, but never thought that P Club's hardware strength, or hardware reserve capacity, was actually not weak.

After P Corp took a stake in Nvidia, it already had an advantage in graphics cards. In addition, when it was developing PS with Sony, pokeni participated in the design. Although in the end Qing Zhiyuan may not violate the confidentiality agreement and forge a PS. , but pokeni, which owns some intellectual property rights, can completely develop new key technologies and apply them to future Sega game consoles.

In other words, Pokeni plus Sega are very powerful in terms of software and hardware.

Stronger than Tsujimoto Kenzo imagined.

…

At the same time, Namco Nakamura Masaya also had the same idea.

"It's scary. Pokeni's game is too big. I didn't expect that it would directly acquire Sega!"

What he didn't expect even more was that President Okawa Isao and President Nakayama Hayao would actually agree.

This is very strange.

According to Nakayama Hayao's temperament, how could they let go of their pride.

You must know that pokeni was just a younger brother a few years ago, and Qing Zhiyuan was much younger than Zhongshan and Dachuan in terms of age, and he was completely a junior.

However, all this was accomplished by the young man from pokeni. I have to say that Qing Zhiyuan is indeed very powerful.

The rising star grew into a behemoth and swallowed up the once all-powerful big shot. This kind of thing actually happened.

However, the difference between Namco and Square is that they are more like Sony's second party than an ordinary third party. Sony actually gave a lot of discounts to win over Namco.

So whether to jump to pokeni in the future, Nakamura Masaya is obviously much less motivated.

But it's not impossible. The key lies in what kind of machines P will develop if they really enter the console field in the future.

When the market reaches a sufficient scale, it is normal to sometimes sell products on multiple platforms for the sake of profit.

…

Relatively speaking, the position of third parties is actually not that clear. Many third parties are on all platforms, because for them, the more players they can see, the more money they can make. .

If you want to sign an exclusive agreement, the platform will need to offer greater profits.

For example, when Sony signed Square's Final Fantasy 7, it gave it a royalty discount.

In short, the whole world smells a smell of gunpowder.

Although this smell of gunpowder is very likely just an illusion, everything depends on Qing Zhiyuan's decision in the future.

However, no one is ready to bet on pokeni. Instead, they are waiting to see what happens and wait for the next console war in the future.

…

The news from Japan was not late at all when it reached the United States. Now, thanks to network communications, things that might have taken more than a day to reach can now be reached in just a few minutes. Synchronization can be completed.

P Agency itself first sent a message simultaneously to Sega on the official website of the United States.

As soon as the official news came out, the fact of the acquisition was confirmed.

This is also the advantage of POKENI. They have already laid out the Internet field. On the day the news was released, the number of visits to P-net America reached more than 300,000.

The phone numbers at Sega's US branch were all buzzing.

President Peter Moore just replied to his friends and businessmen, which took up all his workload and time. In the end, his voice became hoarse and he could only explain:

"If you want to know the specific situation, just look at the company's official website homepage."

When pokeni takes over from Sega, it is not starting from scratch. Neon may be under a lot of pressure. After all, the market is basically occupied by Sony, and third parties are also waiting and watching.

But in the Omi region, pokeni's influence is on the one hand, and Sega has a relatively solid foundation.

So after hearing that pokeni acquired Sega, some game manufacturers were very happy.

For example, Richard Gilbert, the president of EA, said that EA was one of their main partners as early as the Sega MD era. Later, because Sony's PS technology was indeed powerful enough, EA switched to the PS platform.

However, they also develop games on Saturn, such as FIFA 96, which is a game released on Saturn.

It's just that the sales volume of Saturn itself is very small, so EA can't make much profit.

Now after hearing that pokeni acquired Sega, Richard Gilbert's first reaction was:

"Great. This way, Sega's funds will not be so tight. It seems that the next generation of Sega's console is worth looking forward to."

But at the same time, he was also thinking with regret, if only he could be one step earlier and buy Sega before pokeni.

If I had known that President Isao Okawa would sell Sega.

…

The whole world is going crazy. The news of pokeni’s acquisition of Sega is simply a blockbuster, which has sent the gaming industry into a rumble and sent rocks flying.

EA is happy with this news, because Sega is coming back.

Koei Company is also very happy. They have been old partners with Sega before. Even in the Saturn era, Koei's Romance of the Three Kingdoms 4 still chose to be released on Saturn...

In short, the acquisition of pokeni has given many friends and businessmen who had lost confidence in Sega before once again seen hope, and this hope is so strong that it can even make people hear the beating of their hearts.

In addition, the happiest thing is that there are actually two companies.

The first one is Sega.

After Sega was acquired, Hayao Nakayama swept away the previous gloom and became energetic.

You must know that not long ago, President Nakayama wanted to resign as president due to physical reasons. However, with Qing Zhiyuan's persistence, Nakayama Hayao decided to continue to contribute a little to Sega.

Sega employees were also delighted.

After pokeni acquires Sega, it does not mean the death of Sega. As Qing Zhiyuan said, this is a new life.

Sega's overall strength has increased, and employees don't have to worry about subsequent development. Pokeni will be Sega's biggest help in terms of funds and software.

It feels so good to have P Club as my backing.

Before this, Sega's internal morale was actually somewhat unstable, and there were even private contacts with other companies to change jobs. However, when Pokeni acquired Sega and promised not to lay off employees, these guys who had previously committed "back-breaking behavior" It was as if we had taken a reassurance pill and settled down instantly.

Everyone has feelings for the company. After changing to another employer, they still continue to do the work they love, and there is more support. There is nothing more wonderful than this.

Even because they were so happy, Sega employees cheered Qing Zhiyuan's name loudly after Nakayama Hayao announced the acquisition:

"Qing Zhiyuan! Long live!"

"Sega! Long live!"

"pokeni! Long live!"

"Long live!"

…

Sega's side can be described as a carnival.

But the one who is even happier than Sega——

The second one is naturally pokeni himself.

After hearing the news of the acquisition, the members went crazy. They had no intention of working and just wanted to eat.

Moreover, this melon is from our own company, and there is nothing more exciting and exciting than this.

"Wow, the president is so awesome, isn't he? Is he so generous?"

"It was like a thunderous blow, catching everyone off guard, and the whole world was shocked! The floor in the industry was shaking!"

"Oh my god, when I saw this news, I was almost moved to tears. I used to like Sega so much, but I never thought that one day Sega would be acquired by us."

"I am so moved and excited that I don't know what to say. Being able to work at pokeni is really the luckiest thing in my life."

"An event as big as the acquisition of Sega should be regarded as a very important event in the history of gaming, right? It will be written into textbooks in the future, right?"

"Yeah, and we are witnessing history!"

"More than just witnessing history, we are obviously participating in history, okay? This is pokeni, it is our own company!"

"I'm so excited. I've never been so excited when I got married."

"Hahahaha, if you say that, does Mrs. You agree? Wouldn't she be angry?"

"No, no, I have to call my wife and tell her that we acquired Sega."

"Hahaha, does your wife care about this? Why not see if the salary will increase in the future?"

"Nonsense, my wife is concerned. She is a Sega fan. She likes Sega more than our games. This guy really is.

They used to say that although our games were of good quality, they were flashy and lacked the innocent excitement and high-emotional pleasure of Sega.

I have to call her now and talk to her.

have a look?

The Sega you loved is now ours. "

"Hahaha, I really have you. Then I will also call my high school classmate and show off to him."

"The president is so domineering! The most handsome man!"

"And have you noticed that the president's confidentiality measures are very good and watertight. We didn't know until now, and we knew it together with the whole world."

…

"President, are you too outrageous? Are you hiding this from everyone?" Ken Akanishi walked into Qing Zhiyuan's office with a smile, holding two cups of milk tea in his hand, and placing one cup in Qing Zhiyuan's before.

"Haha," Qing Zhiyuan took the milk tea and laughed, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, mainly because I was too busy and didn't have time to tell you about it.

What's more, what if the news leaks out and the negotiation fails and something goes wrong? "

"Yeah, of course I know, it was just a joke, just a joke."

Ken Akanishi looked extremely happy.

You know, this is Sega.

He had never dreamed of acquiring Sega before, let alone that the president would accomplish it so easily.

"President, you are really amazing. I am so impressed with you."

"No, no." Qing Zhiyuan waved his hand and laughed.

Akanishi Ken sat on his desk and raised his chin to signal Qing Zhiyuan.

"Look, how happy are these guys outside?"

Through the glass wall, the postures of the members outside can be seen at a glance. Everyone's face is now filled with great happiness.

It's as if the acquisition of Sega was the highlight of their lives.

This sense of identification with the company really moved Qing Zhiyuan.

Without this sense of identification and pride for the company, one would not be happy, excited and proud of the company's big moves at the strategic level.

This shows that the members really treat pokeni as their own home, and they have a strong sense of belonging to pokeni.

Seeing this scene, how could he not be moved.

Qing Zhiyuan took a deep breath and looked back.

"Akanishi-san, do you know?"

"Huh?" Akanishi Ken turned around and looked at Qing Zhiyuan.

The latter was looking at him with a pair of big watery eyes, which made Akanishi Ken panic all of a sudden.

"Ahem, forget it, I'll tell you all."

Qing Zhiyuan was about to say something, but after thinking about it he decided to go outside.

…

Qing Zhiyuan walked out silently, Akanishi Ken followed him with a confused look on his face.

"Everyone!"

Qing Zhiyuan raised his arms and everyone immediately fell silent.

Countless pairs of eyes focused on Qing Zhiyuan.

Qing Zhiyuan looked around, then climbed onto Ayase Akane's table and stood on it.

Akane Ayase sat in her seat and looked at him with some horror.

"No need for me to announce it, right? Everyone should have seen the news from the media news,"

Qing Zhiyuan shouted, "We successfully acquired Sega!!!"

Hua Hua Hua...

Everyone present was excited by the roar, their blood boiled, and they all clapped.

The applause lasted for a long time.

"But, what I want to say is,"

Qing Zhiyuan stood on the table, looked around, glanced around, and even turned around.

It's like he wants to engrave everyone's appearance into his memory.

"The acquisition of Sega is entirely due to you. Without your hard work and your efforts over the years, pokeni would not be what it is today."

“Just imagine, if we were a small company 8 years ago, not even 5 years ago, we wouldn’t have enough strength to acquire Sega.

Both in terms of money and technology.

Even if I have enough money, if I don’t have enough strength, I will only be laughed at and kicked out.

However, it is precisely because of you that you have made it possible for pokeni to grow from an inconspicuous small company to the big name it is today.

The world cannot ignore our light. It is because of you that the little lights of fireflies can be shocking enough to light up the world!

It was you who gave me the confidence and leverage to acquire Sega.

It's you who make pokeni special.

It is you who make it impossible for the world to ignore us.

It’s you who make pokeni stand at the top of the game.

It’s you…”

“Thank you all, thank you for being with me all the way.

Thanks! "

After speaking, Qing Zhiyuan bowed deeply to everyone.

Countless people at the scene were moved to tears.

I don't know why, but at this time, there was a rush of energy in my heart, and my blood was burning.

People can't help but want to fight for Qing Zhiyuan.

…
