While Shuang was living a comfortable life in Takahashi and Little Geisha, in Manhu's factory, one after another graphics cards were coming off the production line, passing the tests of one quality inspector after another, and then being shipped to the warehouse.

And in Yueben, which is separated by a sea from China, it is a different scene at this moment.

"Why is this happening!" Shimada's expression can only be described as hideous, "Why can't it be sold!"

In the new building near Shinjuku, TEC's Tokyo headquarters, Shimada's roar is heard.

"Yes...... It's our fault......" The head of the sales section hurriedly bowed and admitted his mistake, and cold sweat continued to flow down his bare head. Although he feels that the unsalable new work of "Hot Blood Series" has little to do with him, it is pointless to argue about right and wrong at this time, as long as he admits his mistakes.

"You're wrong! What's the use of your mistake!" Shimada was still roaring, "The cumulative sales of the 'Hot Blood Series' on the red and white machine can exceed 5 million units, and there are a few companies whose games can reach this sales! Why! Why can't the new work be sold? You say! Say it!"

He didn't give anyone time to speak, and soon there were all kinds of smashing sounds in the room.

TEC said that Ben's recent situation is not good.

Although after the fire of the first game of the "Hot Blood Series", TEC said that he had embarked on the road of heroism, but the water in the company knew that it was not safe to rely on a game series alone. Maybe one day this series of games won't sell, and the company will soon be on the street?

However, after several explorations and the release of several games, he gave up on the idea of developing a new game series. Instead, he concentrated on launching a new work of "Bloody Series".

Due to the rapid frequency of new works in the series, each time there is a difference in theme. Sales have not been bad all the time.

Although because of the subject matter, most parents don't want their children to buy this game. The sales of a single model have never exceeded one million.

However, several "Bloody Series" works, which have sold hundreds of thousands, have also won a lot of popularity for the series.

Even comic magazines and peripheral manufacturers have come to TEC to cooperate.

In addition to taking his brothers to squander, the rich TEC said that he also thought of a way to manage his finances, which was to build a new headquarters building.

This is almost the favorite investment method of contemporaneous video game manufacturers.

One is because they can afford to build a building with abundant cash in their hands, but once the building is built, not only will the image of the entire company be greatly improved. The price of this building will also multiply when it is completed.

Of course......

That was under the premise of the growing housing prices in Tokyo at the time.

Now that housing prices have collapsed, the price of the built building has shrunk several times on paper, but no one has bought it even if it wants to sell it at the right time.

Almost all game manufacturers that built buildings without exception fell into financial crisis.

However, video games, especially those on consoles, have a fast payback character. Issuing a new game with a bank loan can still get some blood back quickly.

However, TEC said that this game was smashed.

Today, when they have launched the super red and white machine, in order to seek stability, the sales of the latest work of the "Hot Blood Series" "Bloody New Life", which is still released on the red and white machine, are far from meeting their expectations.

Although it is still profitable, it is far from enough to repay bank loans.

A huge cloud hung over the TEC book, making Shimada, who was already a little mentally disturbed because of the sale of three million copies of "Brain Exercise", even more irrational.

However, among all the well-known video game manufacturers, TEC is not the most miserable.

The most miserable well-known video game company is Takahashi's old club, Hudson.

The reason why Hudson is the most miserable is not because they make games that rarely sell a million copies.

Rather, it was because the Hokkaido Takushoku Bank, with which they worked the most, went bankrupt.

The bankruptcy of the Hokkaido Takushoku Bank meant that Hudson had to immediately repay all the loans he had made to the Hokkaido Takushoku Bank.

However, Hudson, who also built the new headquarters building, how can he have the money to pay it back?

Even if it is repaid with the building, it will be insolvent.

Just an hour before the repayment deadline arrived, the desperate Kudo brothers' spirits were about to completely collapse. Konna extended an olive branch, and they wanted to buy Hudson for five million yen, with the condition that they help Hudson pay off all his debts.

Konami's olive branch took everyone by surprise.

The intersection between Hudson and Konami is mainly in the early days of the release of the red and white machine, and Kona, who was unable to release the red and white machine game, had to hang Hudson's name on his own game and let Hudson publish it on his behalf.

For example, this is the case with the famous game "Little Pig".

It stands to reason that this is a good cooperation and should represent the beginning of friendship.

But how can there be so much friendship in the mall, as the only Hudson who "helped the little game manufacturer" to publish red and white machine games on behalf of him at that time. Seventy percent of the sales from the sale of game cartridges are deducted.

In addition, the relevant taxes and fees should also be deducted from Konami.

Although Conami made money in the end, it was not a matter of saying that they had no grudge against Hudson.

They didn't turn against Hudson right away because they also had to use Hudson's channels to launch a red and white version of the game.

At that time, although Nintendo had a good relationship with Hudson, they couldn't see that Hudson couldn't make more money by picking off the second layer of skin like this.

Therefore, they invited new video game manufacturers to enter the game distribution system of red and white machines.

In this second batch of lists, there are not only 10,000 companies that have accepted the invitation, but also Kanami.

Komi, who has made more money directly than he can count by publishing games, naturally has a deeper resentment towards Hudson.

This is where the "friendship" between the two manufacturers ends.

Later, Konami expanded into sporting goods and other fields in addition to making their classic shooter games.

In this economic collapse, they have suffered a lot of losses. But compared with other manufacturers who build headquarters buildings, it is still much easier.

The Kudo brothers, who had no other way, took Konami's olive branch and sold Hudson for five million yen.

On the third day of the sale, the two Hudson founders left Hudson almost out of the house.

The high-level of Konami, after this battle, can be regarded as a big revenge. Not to mention how cheerful the mood is.

As the producer of "Kirby of the Stars", the HAL Research Institute has built a headquarters building and has not yet paid for it.

Nintendo's old man Pu Yamauchi opened his mouth and said that he could help the HAL Research Institute pay off its debts, but there was a request, that is, that Satoshi Iwata should become the president of the HAL Research Institute.

In a short period of time after Wanhu withdrew from Yueben, the video game industry in Yueben has undergone tremendous changes.
