Chapter 507: A Trust

"Long time no see, Mr. Li. ”

"Haha, long time no see, look at your outfit, just came back from Egypt?"

"That's right, this project is very interesting, I've been to more than 30 countries for so long, and I'm still some way from the goal, and it should take another two months to reach the basic preparations. ”

"Thankfully, hard work......"

A middle-aged man hugged Li Fangcheng.

Li Fangcheng's smile on his face, it is not difficult to see that he is in a good mood when he sees the person in front of him.

It's just a hug between a man dressed in an exotic place and an oriental man, and in this situation, it's really not romantic.

Li Fangcheng came from thousands of miles to find the person, what kind of person is it?

This point, up and down in the Age of Miracles, no one knows!

Oh, there is.

Mu Mengxue.

But Mu Mengxue didn't even tell her sister.

……

It's under this undercurrent.

No one knew that the Age of Wonders had caught up with Hudson.

The group led by Mu Mengqi started negotiations with Hudson for three whole days.

What the final conditions will be, no one knows.

Only after the two sides have left.

Coincidentally, they all showed satisfied smiles.

……

Taito。

It's a very unique company.

When Lin Ying'er got all his information on her phone, her face suddenly became solemn.

When it comes to famous Japanese game publishers, people immediately reflexively conjure up names such as Nintendo, Sega and even Capcom Konami.

Not many people will know that there is such an old shop, which has been around for nearly forty years.

Not many people know that Taito has made an indelible contribution to the game industry!

In the past 40 years of life, there is no immortal - fortunately, when people look up and praise the grandeur of the pyramid, not many people are willing to recall the difficult legend when the first cornerstone was erected.

Of course, big history is not erased or forgotten forever.

Those who have a heart will carefully caress away the dust of time and sing about the past full of dreams and passion......

In January 1920, the Soviet Union Republic was located in Odessa, a military port on the shores of the Black Sea.

Mikhail Kogan was born into a wealthy Jewish merchant family, and because he was the youngest of six brothers, he was naturally especially loved by his parents.

When he was young, his father gave Mikhail Kogan a particularly loud Christian name "Marko",

This also led to his lifelong love for this unintentional nickname.

For a long time afterward, if an acquaintance called him Mikhail or Mr. Kogan, he would often choose to pretend to be deaf and dumb in anger, but if people called him "Marko", he would have received a very warm and vigorous hug.

That's where Marco got his name.

However, the good childhood was fleeting.

Beginning in 1932, with the rapid expansion of the power of the German ** party led by Hitler, a fierce anti-Semitic wave was set off in the whole of Europe, even Odessa, a small city in remote Eastern Europe.

The Kogan family was forced to sell all their possessions and embark on a life of exile when Mikhail Kogan was only 12 years old.

The experience in his early years allowed him to enter the society early and have a strong psychological endurance.

In 1944, Mikhail Kogan arrived in Shanghai by steamer, intending to start his own business in the famous commercial city, but was forced to move to northern China due to a series of repressive policies against Jews.

I don't know why, among the dozens of large and small Chinese cities he once set foot in, Mikhail had a special affection for Tianjin, a declining northern commercial port, and finally established a Taidong trading company near the port area.

It's just that there are thousands of lucky things, but the unfortunate experiences are often so similar.

Within a few years of arriving in North China, the outbreak of war made Michal go away again, and this time he went to Tokyo, Japan.

The first pot of money earned from Tianjin Wei became the starting capital of the future Japanese country.

After the war, Mikhail Kogan was able to set up an office in a building in Tokyo's Setagaya Ward that belonged to a wealthy Jewish man and officially registered Taitoyo & Co.

However, this trip to Japan was not ideal.

It can be said that there were very few dark periods in his life.

For several years in a row, because of various complex interpersonal relationships in Japan, he was anxious.

It was not until 1953 that Mikhail Kogan officially changed the name of Taito Trading Co., Ltd. to Taidong Trading Co., Ltd., and the English trademark was the word TAITO in capital letters in the downward five-pointed star pattern.

This is the earliest Taito.

Mikhail Kogan has done a lot of things, from clothing suits to winemaking in the wine industry.

It can be said that he has gone through a lot of hardships, even so, if it weren't for an accidental incident later, he would not have been able to gain a foothold in Japan again.

Osa, who helped Japan, traveled all the way to return the ashes from Siberia to Japan, and this behavior was recognized by the Japanese people.

After that, Mikhail Kogan, who seized every opportunity, sold all the wine industry that had not improved, and still switched to the music industry, renting and selling refurbished machines to the military.

This will bring the whole Taito to life.

After that, by chance, I got acquainted with the owner of AMI, a famous North American record player manufacturer, and obtained the full authority of the brand of record player in Japan by virtue of his relationship with the same Jewish descent.

Mikhail Kogan has since embarked on the road to take-off.

Here's an interesting story.

When Mikhail Kogan once went to VV Trade to negotiate business, he found that the young staff in charge of reception was very shrewd and capable, and on a whim, he strongly recommended it to the president of the society, the Veriansky brothers, and the whole youth was used exceptionally.

This person is Hayao Nakayama, who later served as the president of Sega and the president of the ESP Group!

The power of fate is sometimes so magical.

Who would have thought that the glory of Hayato Nakayama would be able to achieve glory in the future because of Mikhail Kogan's unintentional help.

Taito, which has developed well in the entertainment industry, began to introduce pachinko games in '58, which is known as the ancestor of arcade game consoles.

This introduction was a success.

ServiceGames, an old rival of Taito, saw such an opportunity, and not only introduced pachinko machines, but also formed an exclusive strategic partnership with the long-established manufacturer Bally and other digital companies.

ServiceGames, which has deep pockets, is not content with an attachment business model like Taito.

Started to open its own chain game venues in major Japanese metropolises.

This behavior has doubled its business performance, and Sega was born out of ServiceGames and was quickly established!
