I want to make a game

If Liu Zhiyuan knew Hiroshi Yamauchi's inner thoughts, he would definitely laugh at him and call him an outdated piece of wood.

Historically, Hiroshi Yamauchi was very dissatisfied with Minoru Arakawa's obsession with Tetris. Especially when he knew that Minoru Arakawa wanted to exploit legal loopholes, he became even more furious. Although Tetris later proved to be another artifact that saved Nintendo.

But a gap arose between the two, which was also a major reason why Arakawa later left Nintendo.

"Director Arakawa, the president is very angry and asks you to come back immediately. Please don't embarrass the president."

"I understand, I'll go back tonight."

Arakawa Minoru replied calmly.

When Hiroshi Yamauchi's secretary hung up the phone, he firmly pressed the receiver to the phone, his originally kind face now full of ferocity.

"Check! Who is it that dares to intercept Hu? Find Peng Jianming for me, no matter where he is!"

Arakawa had been preparing for Tetris for almost half a year, but now he was called back by Hiroshi Yamauchi, and everything was in vain. He swore not to let him know who it was, or he would definitely beheaded.

He was very optimistic about Tetris. He thought it was another pillar of Nintendo. However, Hiroshi Yamauchi did not agree with him spending a lot of money to buy Tetris, so he had to think of other ways.

Originally, he was studying the loopholes of the Tetris contract and preparing to find out about it. Suddenly one day his subordinates reported to him that Tetris on the market was disappearing at an alarming rate.

He quickly went to investigate and found that all the copyrights to Tetris had been bought.

He hurriedly investigated the person who bought Tetris. The information about Fukada Electronics Company and Peng Jianming soon appeared in front of him. When he saw the information, he was so angry that he shredded it all.

Fukada Electronics is just a leather company, and Peng Jianming has nothing to do with games. He knows there must be someone behind him, but no matter how he checks, he can't find it.

Sega is powerless, and Sega won't use this method. They can't embarrass Nintendo, and if they can embarrass Hiroshi Yamauchi, their son-in-law, Sega will definitely publicize its purchase of Tetris.

He began to reach inside Nintendo. Because HUDSON cooperated with Japan Electric to develop consoles, he suspected that the other party had bought it.

His series of actions made Hiroshi Yamauchi even more dissatisfied. He spent a lot of money to do a bunch of meaningless things, and even forced HUDSON to leave. He had his reasons.

Arakawa is now investigating the PC-E company. As a result, Yamauchi Hiroshi said that he must go back. Once he goes back, he will not dare to do these little tricks again under the eyes of Yamauchi Hiroshi.

Because Hiroshi Yamauchi did not agree with him to acquire Tetris at all, this was a decision he made secretly.

Arakawa Minoru could already sense that Tetris was far away from him, and he gritted his teeth and muttered to himself.

"Is PC-E yours? Sony and Panasonic have also been dishonest recently."

He values ​​Tetris too much. Although he dominates the world in North America, he wants to be the master of Nintendo. He wants to return to Japan.

If you want to be recognized by Hiroshi Yamauchi, you must make a big enough contribution, and Tetris is his bargaining chip.

Now that someone has taken away his chips, how can he not get mad and angry?

Liu Zhiyuan's arrangement worked, and Minoru Arakawa would not set his sights on the Han Dynasty at all. The $4,400 purchase price was the highest buyout fee for a game that Minoru Arakawa had ever seen, although there was still a liquidated damages of 14 million.

Moreover, this acquisition was too decisive and too fast. He simply did not believe that Liu Zhiyuan's small company with US$200 million had such courage.

Arakawa Minoru's eyes are always on those big factories. If he investigates Liu Zhiyuan very seriously, Liu Zhiyuan can be investigated to the bottom of Liu Zhiyuan by him with Arakawa Minoru's energy in half a month at most.

Minoru Arakawa's ability is still very strong. After he came back, the popularity of Super Mario 3 quickly caught up, and now he is fighting with Liu Zhiyuan's Might and Magic.

Today you expect to be number one, tomorrow I will be number one.

Hayao Nakayama was not calm when he saw this scene. He surpassed Super Mario 3. He did what the previous president of Sega failed to do. His lifelong dream was to surpass Nintendo.

Now his dream seems to be shattered.

"Liu Jun, do you want to start our second step?"

When Liu Zhiyuan received the call from Nakayama Hayao, he thought something was wrong with him. Unexpectedly, he lost his temper. He thought about how people in later generations would evaluate Nakayama Hayao.

His great contribution to Sega cannot be denied, but his ability is mediocre. He does not have Yamauchi's ability but tries to use Yamauchi's methods. He has an unshirkable responsibility for Sega's withdrawal from the first party.

The corners of Liu Zhiyuan's lips were raised, which was a sign of disdain, but Hayao Nakayama couldn't see it. He had never called President Liu until now. From this, it can be seen that he had never put Liu Zhiyuan on the same level.

"Don't worry, President Nakayama, the popularity is very good now. The more we fight with Super Mario, the more popular we will be."

"But..."

Hayao Nakayama still understands this truth. In the past, he couldn't catch up to the popularity of Super Mario, but he has seen the scenery that overwhelms Nintendo, and he doesn't want to go back.

"President Zhongshan, the plan cannot be changed at will. What if we move the second step ahead of time and Super Mario 3 catches up again? Should we take the third step? If we catch up, we can take the fourth step?"

"We have the upper hand now, and we will wait until Super Mario 3 really surpasses us."

Liu Zhiyuan explained the pros and cons to him, and Nakayama Hayao finally hung up the phone reluctantly.

"Hey, this is Adou."

Why did Liu Zhiyuan work so hard to help Sega? He no longer planned to cooperate with Sega. The reason was that he really couldn't help it without a little effort. He was playing a good hand of cards to a pulp, and he was talking about Nakayama Hayao.

Having MD does not mean that it will win the market. In fact, MD has no advantage at all in Japan. Yes, MD cannot even suppress FC in Japan.

Japan is Nintendo's territory. Except for arcades, Sega never had an advantage until it quit the first party.

The reason why MD can truly share the console market equally with Nintendo is in Europe and the United States. Europe and the United States are MD's life-saving straw.

In this life, he cannot just watch MD suffer a disastrous defeat in Japan, or at least let Nintendo feel in danger. Yamauchi Hiroshi is already old, and he is immersed in his dream of being an emperor and cannot extricate himself.

As long as there is chaos, Nintendo will definitely make mistakes. Later generations have proved it. If Hayao Nakayama finally got a good hand after several years of hard work, it ended up being ruined.

Hiroshi Yamauchi has always been a master of bombs since he entered the gaming world, but he just likes to throw bombs first, and from big to small. Fortunately, the one he kept was not a 3.

Seeing that the Nintendo empire was about to collapse, Hiroshi Yamauchi finally came to his senses, took the blame and resigned, calmed the dissatisfaction of other third parties, introduced a new president, and joined forces with Microsoft to revive Nintendo.

What was Hayao Nakayama doing when Sega was dying?

He was betting, and he knew that the bet didn't even have a one-in-a-million chance, but he still gambled. The result was that Sega directly withdrew from the first party.

This is the gap between Nakayama Hayao and Yamauchi Hiroshi, the gap in ability that is visible to the naked eye.
