Chapter 24: Change
Video games are still evolving, and almost no one knows what the future of video games will look like. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Like any industry that's still being explored, the video game industry is full of strange things.
The video game consoles jointly designed and produced by Hudson and other manufacturers are just one of the many chaos.
One game manufacturer after another is just a trendsetter in one big era after another. Not every vendor leader is as wise as everyone thinks.
Takahashi's rejection of Yuji Kudo was just the beginning, and other manufacturers of the joint host also came to Takahashi one after another to persuade him.
Move it with affection, and say it with profit. Even many employees of 10,000 households are said to be excited, wanting to devote themselves to the great co-hosting business, overturn Sega, step on Nintendo, and complete a feat that can go down in history books.
However, Takahashi did not waver in the slightest. There is no intention of joining the co-host camp. I wouldn't even try.
The people who came to persuade were in a state of despair in the face of Takahashi's "stubbornness". However, all the shares of Wanhu were in the hands of Takahashi's uncle and nephew, and the uncle handed over all the management rights to Takahashi, and no one could change Takahashi's decision.
In order to stabilize the interior and calm people's hearts. Takahashi spent a lot of time demonstrating the feasibility of joint hosting.
Although Wanhu is the de facto Yiyantang, Takahashi hopes that every decision he makes can be understood by every employee of Wanhe.
Although it is an internal document, an internal document that can be sent to ordinary employees is far from confidential.
A large number of feasibility reports of the joint host flowed out, and the faces of the managers of the joint host enterprises were crooked, as if they were deformed old winter melons.
"Smack!"
A large hand was lined up on the oval conference table, and even the solid wood conference table trembled because of it.
"Bastard! Yaga! Takahashi is too disagreeable! Sanctions! Must be sanctioned! You have all read this document, Takahashi actually said from all angles that our co-host is not good. Many of you have seen Takahashi. Don't you think Takahashi is too arrogant? I think we must sanction 10,000 households, sanction Takahashi!"
It is not easy for the people sitting here to get together.
When they heard this angry and trembling thin old man, they did not express their position immediately, but drank tea when they should drink tea and smoked when they should smoke.
"Sanctions? How do we sanction? Besides...... I think some of what Takahashi said really makes sense...... "Yuji Kudo, who first met Takahashi, admitted the shortcomings of the joint host at the moment, and there was a risk of causing public outrage, and said in front of everyone.
He fearlessly glanced at everyone at the oval conference table, the managers and those in power were almost older than his age, but he was fearless.
"But......" Kudo's words shifted, "I think success or failure is not said by others, but by oneself." Takahashi said that if we fail, we will fail? Takahashi said that if we succeed, we will succeed?
Is Takahashi a god?
Even God can't control our success or failure.
When a child achieves good grades, should he thank the Lord or his daily efforts?
When a person is sick and cured by a single call, should he pray for God's renewed health or thank the doctor?
I think Takahashi is right. Our co-host, indeed, is having a problem.
What do we need now!?
What is needed is to solve the problem, not to solve the person who points it out.
If you solve the problem and point out the problem, the problem doesn't exist?
The existence of the problem leads to failure, can we raise our heads and say to the gods in the sky, God, why do you not take care of me so much?
I'm sorry!"
Yuji Kudo suddenly stood up and bowed at a right angle of 90 degrees to everyone present.
"As one of the initiators of the joint host, as one of the chairman of the company initiated by the joint host, I saw the problem but did not point it out, and it was my fault to seek a solution to the problem. I am willing to accept the punishment. But I hope that all the presidents here will work together to fix the problems I created and create a successful home game console.
This is the problem I see and the solution I think of, so please take a look. β
Confucius wept bitterly when his young disciple Yan Hui died, and someone asked Confucius, "Why are you so sad? Is it because Yan Hui is so good?"
Confucius's evaluation of Yan Hui is six words, "Don't be angry, don't be offended." β
If you don't transfer your anger to someone else, you won't make the same mistake a second time.
Easier said than done.
How many people in the world have shifted their anger, knowing that they are making mistakes, but knowingly making mistakes again and again.
None of you recognize the problem?
No!
Including the angry old man just now, they have already discovered the problem. However, instead of thinking about solving the problem, he wanted to sanction Takahashi, who had put the problem from under the table to the countertop.
He transfers his anger to Takahashi and then gives himself a reason to make mistakes.
The old man who is over the age of sixteen cannot be said to be naΓ―ve, but sometimes he still makes mistakes.
There was silence in the conference hall, and Yuji Kudo's assistant distributed the documents he had prepared to everyone.
In the silence, there was only the sound of page after page of the book.
Many people looked at the joint host who had been working hard for several months, and approved worthless documents, but the serious expressions on their faces became more and more relaxed, and some even showed a smile.
This is certainly not because they are perverted, but because of ...... Someone carried the pot, and the pressure on their shoulders became lighter.
The president of Taito took the lead in putting down Yuji Kudo's documents and said to everyone, "I agree with President Kudo's opinion and agree with his solution. I'm ashamed to say that I really wanted all the profits from game production before, and I was scared of being bullied by Nintendo......
Now I don't think so!
That's not right!
I agree with President Kudo's opinion that we game manufacturers should provide a subsidy to hardware manufacturers if we don't sell a single game.
But at the same time, hardware manufacturers also need to reduce the price of each host. Only when the console is cheap can more people buy it, and more excellent games can emerge.
I hope that people don't just focus on the small profits in front of them and think that they will be able to make all the money on software and hardware. Only by working together can we achieve things with a unified goal!
What do you think?"
"I ...... Agree ......"
"I agree. β
"I agree ......"

Voting in the conference room is proceeding.
