Super Game Empire

On April 9, Tokyo was rainy and the climate was a bit cold. Yang Yun walked out of Tokyo International Airport and took a Toyota business car sent by Sega. The car was smooth and the light music of Hirashi's Rakan was surrounded by Hiroshi's light music. He watched him get in the car.

The rain on the window made me feel a little moved...

This trip to Tokyo was for business, on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was for his cute little princess. Okawa Nanase was born, and she was a girl, and her mother and daughter were safe. This was the one Igarashi Hanyue secretly beat him.

I took a photo of the little girl's cradle, and was yawning with her eyes closed. Her lazy expression looked very cute.

First, the business car was running through Tokyo streets quickly and soon arrived at the University of Tokyo Affiliated Hospital. Under the leadership of Sega employees, Yang Yun came to the ward of Kobayashi Mustang and saw Shikio Nakayama and the people from the Kobayashi family.

"President Yang!" Many people who knew Yang Yun greeted him respectfully.

Shizuo Nakayama came over and helped introduce Kobayashi Kenmin and Kobayashi Keno. The old lady and daughter-in-law of Kobayashi did not come. Kobayashi had a sudden cerebral congestion. After the accident, the children did not dare to tell the truth to the old lady.

The man came to the hospital, and the woman was at home doing housework and chatting with the old lady.

"What's going on now?" Yang Yun felt the atmosphere was a little heavy, probably because he was almost out of reach.

Kenmin Kobayashi looked sad and shook his head and said, "The doctor is rescuing it, but there is no hope. My father is too old, has high blood pressure, diabetes, and he drinks alcohol and smokes every meal..."

After a silence, Yang Yun was also quite emotional. Kobayashi was a good person. Although he was from Sumitomo Trading Company, he did not have any discrimination against the Chinese. On the contrary, he took good care of Yang Yun, which gave Longteng a lot in recent years.

Help.

In 1990, Yang Yun participated in Sega's carnival for the first time as a game supplier. At that time, he won the honorary title of Sega's best game in 1989 with the game "Saroman Snake", which was awarded by Kobayashi Mustang.

award.

Later, Kobayashi Mustang represented Sega Co., Ltd. to give Yang Yun a 2% stake. After Longteng reversed the acquisition of Sega, he took the initiative to withdraw funds from Sega within a few years. After retirement, he maintained contact with Longteng and Sega. When Longteng was frustrated, he was frustrated.

Constantly put pressure on the Japanese parliament and prevented the parliament from adopting retaliatory policy subsidies to foreign game companies. He has always been a friend of Sega and Longteng, and is the partner that Shirooshi Nakayama values ​​the most. He is also Yang Yun’s mentor and friend. Yang Yun learned from him

It's a lot.

At this moment, the door of the operating room was pushed open and the family surrounded him, but the doctor shook his head coldly and said nothing. There was a burst of crying in the corridor, wailing constantly, heart-wrenching.

"Sad to mourn..." Yang Yun and Nakayama Hayao could only say this to Kenyu Kobayashi. The whole scene was chaotic, and of course it was not easy for anyone to lose their loved ones. Although they were outsiders, they also had deep feelings. They were also sad.

No more.

"The company should treat his descendants well."

Yang Yun said this, and Shinto Nakayama nodded: "I know, I will take out 100 million yen from the president's fund for senior Kobayashi's funeral and funeral arrangements."

"Okay. He has devoted his life to us, and we cannot treat him badly. Let's ask you for your children. If you can take care of them, we will help them."

"I will."

After leaving the hospital, the two of them sat down at the tea art hall they often went, enjoying tea, watching dance, and listening to music, and their mood slowly calmed down.

"You know what happened to Sony's gaming division that lost $230 million last year?"

"I know. Why, can Ken Kaoriki resign? "

"I didn't resign, but it wasn't much better. Because he was not good at leading the Sony Games Department, he was transferred to the logistics department to work in an idle position a few days ago."

"ha!"

After hearing this news, Yang Yun was in a much better mood. Ken Kutaraki made a fair comment. He was actually very talented and visionary. If it weren't for chance or luck, he would be very likely to carry forward the Sony game department and take up Sony.

The president of the group.

But people who are too talented are afraid of having ambitions. I think Sony first cooperated with Nintendo, but if the cooperation fails, it will do it by itself. As soon as it starts, it plans to control the CD standard by itself, monopolize the entire console market, control all high-precision components, and allow all games.

The producers are begging them, and the PS promotion is also false, claiming to handle 560,000 polygons at the same time. How advanced CPU is and how powerful graphics are, I wish I could beat Nintendo and Longteng in one move.

Yang Yun launched SS a year in advance, and continued to expand his strength from CPU and GPU, slowly narrowing the gap with Sony in hardware, and constantly launching classic games, leaving Sony far behind in software, and will

Enix and Square are firmly tied to Longteng's chariot. Sony's PS platform is indeed good, but it can only be defeated again and again without any rice.

"We have been fighting for four or five years, right? I wonder if Sony's loss this time will make their upper-level team shake their mindset?"

"I think it will definitely be, in the Asian financial crisis in 1998, Japan has not fully recovered yet. Sony was slightly profitable in Europe and the United States last year, but the gaming department dragged them down. Rumors have been that Sony's senior executives are interested in laying off the Sony gaming department.

.”

"President Zhongshan, have you ever thought about eating the Sony Games Department?"

"Yang, I know what you mean, haha!"

The two of them laughed tacitly and held teacups to each other.

This is to use KTT to acquire Nintendo, find an outside third-party company as a cover, take down Nintendo's most valuable brand and abandon all other negative assets, so as to achieve Yang Yun's goal of indirect control of Nintendo.

If Sony Games is really cut off, it will never simply remove the department, transfer personnel, and then discard all the instruments and employees. It will definitely be a global bidding, sell a suitable price, and reduce its own

loss.

Shikao Nakayama is a Japanese, and the company of Sega Corporation of Japan has been operating for decades. Even today, it has not been revoked. It still stands in the Japanese gaming industry. In the hearts of some Japanese, Sega is just used by Chinese people.

Just conquered, they still represent Japanese game culture, or the Japanese spirit of "You can defeat me, but you can't defeat me."

Once, Hayao Nakayama also surrendered to Square, Korome Capcom went bankrupt, Nintendo sold it, and the Japanese game industry was getting bottomed out, but after he truly saw Yang Yun's strength, he knew that he was defeated, Japan

The game industry is also impossible to defeat Longteng. Didn’t the European and American game industry also express their surrender to Yang Yun and become a vassal of Longteng?

Following the trend is the choice of smart people. He is a professional manager. As long as he can make money and achieve his career, he doesn't care who he fights for. He asked himself that if Sega is still in his hands, he would definitely lose to Nintendo.

With Sony, why did he think so much?

"If Sony Games falls again, there will be no flag in the Japanese gaming industry. I can take over Sony Games, but this matter needs to be planned carefully. Senior Kobayashi is gone. My influence on Congress is limited, maybe I can't.

Don't look for a partner again." Nakayama Shizuo thought for a long time before saying this, and he was indeed full of concerns.

Yang Yun nodded: "I will ask Yang Zhan and Wang Zhe to come and help you. Your combination has almost no rivals in Japan. I believe that if Sony Games are sold, no one in the world can compete with you."

"First of all, I'm going to break with Longteng."

"This is a must. A wonderful performance is not a one-person show. There must be a protagonist and a supporting role. This time I am willing to play your supporting role."

"But please believe in my nature, and this time I won't be taking the opportunity to eliminate dissidents, right?"

"How is it possible for President Zhongshan? Do you remember what you said when we first met? 'Now I'm glad that you have the Allied Army again', we are the Allied Army!"

"Haha! Among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Huang Zhong is almost seventy years old and still goes to the battlefield. I, Shiroozuo, Zhongshan, is 67 years old and is not as old as Huang Zhong. I wonder if I can still have a second youth in my career?"

"Try it!"

After breaking up with Shinto Nakayama, Yang Yun refused to send a car to the company and took a taxi to wander around the streets of Tokyo.

Whether Sony really sells the game department is still a different story. Moreover, Sony's gaming status is a special one, not an independent brand like Nintendo. It is a department under the name of Sony. The so-called brand value is almost zero after sale.

Moreover, Sony's Ps platform has no effect on Longteng at all. He wants to acquire Sony Games for only two purposes.

One is to block the mouths of the Japanese government and Japanese public opinion. Longteng forced one Japanese game company after another to death. It seemed too ugly to eat. When Nintendo almost went bankrupt, the Japanese Congress also issued a decree to carry out the Japanese animation and game industry.

The Japanese people were also quite dissatisfied with the subsidy, believing that the Chinese learned games and animation production from Japan, but they actually surpassed their teacher and wanted to drive the teacher off the altar. This is a deception of the teacher and an ancestor, which they cannot bear.

.

The second purpose is to minimize the number of enemies. He takes over Sony Games and can give other manufacturers in the game industry a hope, believing that Sony may make a comeback in a few years. As long as Longteng cannot achieve global monopoly on the surface, it will not

There are lawsuits related to antitrust competition, and I am safe. This is the case with KTT's acquisition of Nintendo, and now I have asked Shiroo Shinto to acquire Sony Games.

“Your destination has arrived!”

The taxi driver respectfully reminded that Yang Yun came back to his senses from his thoughts, paid the fare and tip with a smile, and walked out of the car.

Walking through the busy streets and passing through a quiet alley, a Japanese-style residential area of ​​a single-family villa appeared in front of him. The house with lavender planted at the door was his destination. (To be continued...)
