Time passes inexorably between the years.

The warm winter sun has always been lovely.

Some people like it, they are willing to eat it, some people dislike it, and winter has come.

In Tokyo, Japan, snowflakes are falling.

"Zhongyujun, Christmas is coming soon, this winter, it is extraordinarily cold, you say, is the winter in China cold?"

A middle-aged man with extraordinarily vicissitudes of life said slowly in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"President Nakayama, I don't know about the winter in China, but I believe that this year's winter will be very warm in Akihabara. The man known as Nakayu-kun replied.

"Akihabara...... It's a pity that we've wasted too much time this year......"

President Nakayama, that is, Hayao Nakayama, as the president of Sega, is undoubtedly appalling in his aging appearance at the moment!

Hayao Nakayama, who once wanted to pick Nintendo off the horse, the high-spirited and heroic president, is now like aging dozens of years old, gray hair, full of vicissitudes at a glance.

President...... We're almost done with Level 1...... Not really...... Why don't we record a level first...... At most, we have small profits and quick ......turnover," Zhongyujun said through gritted teeth.

"Is it really too late......" Hayakuo Nakayama's tone was calm, as if everything was expected, no sorrow or joy.

"It's our fault!President, I'm sorry!" Nakayu-kun lowered his head and said loudly.

"Okay, let's just take it one off the other, just order it, Christmas night, as long as you are there, stay for an hour...... No, half an hour...... If you stay for half a stay, we'll give this cassette to ...... Those who like us......"

From half an hour to half an hour, Zhong Yujun looked at Hayakuo Nakayama, whose face was a little darker, and his heart was sour......

When did Sega actually come to give away the cassette......

Use the lowest special move to win over the player......

But as a developer, he knows the real horrors of the Age of Wonders......

The all-round crushing of sixteen hosts made Sega's already small amount of money go down the drain at once.

Billions of R&D expenses have been killed in the overwhelming cost-effective concept advertisements of the Age of Miracles.

The situation faced by Sega has become so serious that ordinary players can hardly imagine.

The quality of the console is high, the performance is excellent, and the hardware is better than Nintendo and Sega.

If the hardware has a huge advantage, forget it, but most importantly, it's cheap!

On this basis, it also burns money to promote it, for fear that some people don't know the general, and the overwhelming publicity has made it a trend to have a star host.

Status symbol, after this word is spread intentionally or unintentionally, even for the sake of face, in the case of economic prosperity, will buy one.

In the beginning, Nintendo and Sega could only fight against the Age of Wonders with console price cuts.

But everyone is not stupid, Age of Wonders is a disc game disc, and Nintendo and Sega are cartridges, as long as you are not die-hard fans, you can understand which is more cost-effective in the long run.

So whether it's Hayao Nakayama or Minoru Arakawa, who came back from the United States, both of them tacitly use the game lineup as a new publicity point.

However, they are planning the plan, setting up the project, designing, producing, negotiating the delivery channel, negotiating the price and so on.

After going back and forth, it cost millions of dollars to do, and as a result, just two days after it was launched, I ran into GamePaly in the Age of Miracles......

Moreover, the game also has multi-platform support......

This directly shattered their intention to advertise the core of the game lineup - the company said that it had no games and was deceiving players, but the fact was that six games came out at once......

Those advertisements that try to satirize the miracle era as nouveau riche and have no background are directly reduced to after-dinner jokes.

After this battle, not to mention the losses of the two families, the era of miracles is on fire again......

Minoru Arakawa is silent and aloof—his disdain for the Age of Miracles when he first arrives in Japan makes him a laughing stock, and his authority is gone.

It would be fine if Arakawa really lost his majesty, but Hayao Nakayama turned white overnight.

The huge financial deficit made Sega, which was already burdened with a heavy load, unable to resist.

The two cassette production workshops under the name were sold into assets, and the real estate under the name was also sold and the self-operated stores changed hands......

Fortunately, most of them are assets under the names of other affiliated leather bag companies, but in order to make his ideas come true, he didn't even say anything about shareholders.

Hayabusa Nakayama quietly disposes of these assets because the capital chain is on the verge of breaking, and once the salary cannot be paid and there is no need for Christmas, it will fall apart now.

"Nakaji-kun, honestly, how sure are you?" Hayao Nakayama paused for less than a second and continued, "The certainty of overcoming the Age of Miracles ......"

“…… In the current era of miracles, it would be good to be able to contend and defeat...... I'm not sure ......," Nakaji-kun said with some difficulty.

"Aren't you even sure......" Hayabusa's voice became less and less emotional.

"Suzuki Yu said, the person in the Miracle Era, he couldn't imagine the possibility of confrontation, Nakayu-kun, only you are the only ones who still have the courage now......"

A soft sigh, the helplessness and pain in it, but outsiders don't know.

"We will definitely do it as soon as possible! Please believe us!" Zhongyujun once again expressed his determination.

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you, you go and get busy, I'll work hard for you. Hayao Nakayama looked at Nakayu-kun's dark circles and bags under his eyes, and sincerely instructed.

"Hey!"

Nakayu-kun left, and the room fell silent again.

After a long time, Hayakuo Nakayama opened the drawer, took out a cigarette, and lit it tremblingly.

Nikoladin's pungent nose made Hayabusa Nakayama cough violently.

Smoke, choking, smoking.

In the fog of smoke, no one knew how embarrassed Hayao Nakayama was, and he didn't know whether the tears were choking on the smoke or too sad, and he couldn't stop flowing.

"Suzuki, if I had listened to you and cooperated with the Miracle Era......

"Today, will we still face such a dilemma......

In the dark, no one answered.

Yu Suzuki took a long vacation half a year ago, and so far, he has not returned to Sega.

The reason is that it has been said many times at the meeting that we should work together with the Miracle Era, not suppress it......

In the eyes of Hayakuo Nakayama at that time, this was almost equivalent to public submission!

Although everyone knows that Sega's software strength is not good, Sega's most helpless and proudest thing is precisely its independent research and development of games.

Yu Suzuki, who has repeatedly proposed to cooperate with the Miracle Era, even persuaded others to give advice to Hayao Nakayama...... What he didn't know, however, was that in Nakayama's eyes, this was already equated with disloyalty.

In the end, Hayao Nakayama, who couldn't bear it anymore, directly scolded Yuichi Suzuki in public and removed him from his position as section chief.

Yu Suzuki, just so idle at home......
