Chapter 4 Life Experience [Subscribe Only]

Sega was founded in the 50s of the 20th century and has a history of more than 30 years. Although the www.biquge.info"Periscope" pinball game was launched in '66 and was well received around the world, in 1983, the game industry in the U.S. market collapsed and suffered a huge amount of survival.

Therefore, although Sega was more aggressive than Nintendo, more focused on hardware, and launched home game consoles earlier in its home country, it did not achieve a status similar to Nintendo. On the contrary, under the squeeze of the red and white machine, the next-generation host had to be launched in advance as a confrontation.

Of course, at this time, Sega was still one of the largest video game companies. Sega's arcade machines are unique among many manufacturers.

However, they were not satisfied with the arcade market, and began to actively maintain friendly relations with major game manufacturers to seek cooperation with Nintendo in the case of the home console market.

Of course, the good attitude is because of weakness, and it is not a scientific thing to want others to give up the huge profits of Nintendo and eat the small meat of Sega.

However, it is man-made.

Although it can be said to be the number one contributor to the rise of the home game console market, its old-fashioned and domineering style has made many manufacturers who cooperate with them, although they make this money through them, but slowly go to their opposite.

Each manufacturer has its own interests, and such a relationship between Nintendo and Wanhu is not unique, but not uncommon.

On the one hand, everyone is in a rational position to make money and approves of accepting Nintendo's excess "exploitation", but this kind of "humiliation (harmony) of the spirit of collaborators" makes everyone grit their teeth and make money, and at the same time, they can't wait to break Nintendo's bones.

In such a situation, the persimmon family didn't talk about cooperation, so they invited the presidents of various game manufacturers to come over and drink tea, and promoted the relationship, which also played a good role.

Although Takahashi still came to the Sega headquarters alone in relatively cheap clothes, he was not looked down upon like when he arrived at Fujiya.

As a member of the video game industry, Sega's young female employees, although they also watch idol dramas and variety shows that seem to be mentally retarded, but they don't have more than that, they must know all the celebrities related to video games, remember what they look like, and be able to provide them with accurate services when they enter Sega.

"Hello, how can I help you?" A young and beautiful young lady, no matter which world no longer values her appearance, she can enjoy a softer world than others. A Sega woman who thought she was quite tall and became tall in high heels asked Takahashi.

"Hello, I'm Takahashi of Wanhu, and I'm invited to meet with the president of your society today. Takahashi said as he handed over his business card and invitation.

Born in 1932, Hayao Nakayama is the current president of Sega, and at this time, he has gradually entered the old age from middle age, and he still maintains a vigorous and majestic energy.

He dropped out of the Faculty of Literature and Science at Chiba University in 1959.

In 1968, he founded the Esko Trading Organization and served as the head office, and in 1979, he merged the company he founded into the American Sega controlled by David Rosen, and served as the vice president, and was also the first executive of the Sega company at this time.

In 1983, although the Great Depression in the American video game industry caused Sega to suffer heavy losses, it also became an opportunity for Zhongshan, and he joined forces with several bankers and entrepreneurs to acquire a large number of Sega shares, became president, and abolished the U.S. headquarters and changed the headquarters to Yuanben.

At the same time, Sega of the United States changed its name to Sega, and in the same year, Sega entered the home game console market and launched the first home game console SG-1000.

Takahashi followed the leader as he recalled Hayabusa's personal history.

Although the personal resume is short, it can always get to know a person in the shortest possible time.

What kind of decisions were made when, and what kind of achievements were made, illustrate a person's ability and strength.

For example, Hayao Nakayama, in Takahashi's opinion, is a very capable person.

Entering Hayao's office, it seems that it is not an office, but a tea ceremony hall.

He warmly beckoned Takahashi to sit down, and then made a pot of tea for Takahashi himself.

"Actually, I don't always make tea, but I think it's like life. You can't be too anxious, but you can't be too relaxed. Only by having a degree of relaxation can we achieve the best results.

Takahashi, as a newcomer who just came to prominence last year, you have achieved such results this year. Do you think you're in too much of a hurry? I think you might need some precipitation to go further. ”

Takahashi listened to the "life tea" that Hayao Nakayama brewed to him, but he didn't drink it in one gulp. Perhaps, for those who don't know where the future road leads, the steps are too big to pull the egg. It's like a company that doesn't make potato chips but makes videos, and it becomes a joke because of people, and at the same time, because of the collapse of the backstage.

It is impossible to stay away from politics in business, from multinational conglomerates to street vendors, everyone is politically connected.

The difference may lie in the fact that the former can profit themselves by influencing politics, while the latter can only follow the policy and follow the trend.

It is a miracle that Wanhu has been able to retain its current high degree of autonomy on many levels.

Probably only this peculiar piece of land can give birth to a 10,000-household-style enterprise led by Takahashi.

Although the economy is mainly controlled by a few chaebols, they only control the economy. To put it mildly, a country like Ben and South Korea did not deserve to be called a country but a colony a hundred years ago.

Under the new order established by the Americans, although in the process of the rise of 10,000 households, there are countless people who are snooping, but these people themselves have no way to seek 10,000 households by means other than commercial means, and the Americans are on the other side of the ocean, and when they reflect it, it is no longer an easy thing to swallow 10,000 households in one go.

Moreover, since 10,000 households entered the Chinese mainland market, they have a Chinese mainland background to some extent. Now is the honeymoon period between China and the United States, and they will work together to deal with the "axis of evil" -- the Soviet Union. If you want to move thousands of households, you must also be restrained.

"I don't agree with you. Human life is only once, and it is everyone's choice to go fast or slow. It's fast for you, but it's probably slow for me. You haven't tried my life, have you?" said Takahashi with a smile.

"Tea, tea. Nakayama stopped by passing on his life experience and instead talked to Takahashi about his views on the video game industry.
