Since he didn't plan to buy Nintendo, Shuichi Minamino decided to poach some talent!

As Nintendo established its gaming division, Nintendo produced several successful toys and games over the years, most notably the Ray Gun and the Super Quirk (a type of assistive arm toy). Most of the invention concepts originated from a Nintendo employee, Gunhei Yokoi.

Yokoi Junhei, the father of GB, was a key member of Nintendo's early days, and made great contributions to Nintendo's hegemony!

Gunhei Yokoi was the first professional technician to enter Nintendo, and he presided over the design of Game & amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; ATCH uses D-pads to make the game more user-friendly. In 1965, he worked for Nintendo, where he developed and designed Game & amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; atch, red and white machine, Game Boy, VIRTUA BOY and other products. In 1996, he withdrew from the company and established KOTO Co., Ltd.

In 1965, Yokoi Junhei entered the Nintendo company, in the previous more than a year he worked for Sharp and other large and small enterprises, because he could not accept the constraints of the outdated regulations and repeatedly changed jobs, Nintendo from managers to workers are all young people, Yokoi felt that the relaxed working environment was very suitable for him and decided to stay for a long time, he was mainly responsible for the maintenance of the playing card assembly line.

This information is because he read a game magazine in his previous life and accidentally saw it on it.

"It's only 1960, and it seems that this Gunhei Yokoi hasn't joined Nintendo Games yet. I'm digging him up in advance, and I don't know if Nintendo Games will be as brilliant as it will be in the future. But none of that matters anymore. The future TV game dominance is destined to be my Shuichi Minamino. Shuichi Minamino sneered.

"Nako, come in. Shuichi Minamino said to Nako Kino over the phone.

"What's the matter?" asked Nako Kino, who was as beautiful as a flower, after walking in with high heels.

"You go and look up a guy named Yokoi Gunpei, he seems to have graduated from Tongshisha University, and once you find him, bring him to me. "Minamino Shuichi.

"Okay~" Nako Kino didn't ask much, but went to run errands.

Three days later, Gunhei Yokoi arrived at Shuichi Minamino's office.

When Nako Kino found Yokoi, he thought it was a hoax at first. After all, the chairman and general secretary general of a large group came to him, do you think he can not be vigilant?

However, after some identification, Yokoi Junhei came to the Minamino Group headquarters building with curiosity. When he came to the door of this Great Xia, he believed that Ji Younako was not lying to him. Because he knew that this building was the landmark of the Minamino Group.

In the past few years, he can be said to have been quite mixed up, and he thinks that the boss of a large group has something to do with him? Anyway, he can't figure it out even if he wants to break his head.

Under the leadership of Nako Kino, Gunpei Yokoi came to Shuichi Minamino's office.

"Hello Mr. Minamino. After seeing Shuichi Minamino, Junhei Yokoi looked a little restrained, and he didn't dare to look directly at Shuichi Minamino and didn't dare to sit down.

"You sit. ”

In the end, Yokoi Junhei still sat down tremblingly.

"Your name is Yokoi Gunpei, right?

"Yes. ”

"What company do you work for now?" asked Shuichi Minamino.

"A small company. ”

"Would you like to work for my Sony?"

"Huh?" said Yokoi's face was stunned. He had never encountered such a situation when a big boss of a group invited him to work in the other company. He's just a small person, and he doesn't have much fame.

"Would you like to?"

"I, I'm willing!" Yokoi nodded solemnly after thinking for a moment. He felt that this was an opportunity, and he had to take advantage of it. Regardless, Sony is a big company. It is still a multinational company, and its products are all going abroad. I don't know how many thousands of times better than the small company he is in now.

"Very well! I'll ask you a question, what do you think is the use of television?" asked Minamino Shuyi and Yokoi Gunpei.

"Television? Television can broadcast programs, has the role of pastime, entertainment. Yokoi replied after thinking about it carefully.

"You're right. Television is used to pass the time and entertain people. What entertainment do you think the TV can have?"

Nagano Shu slowly guided Yokoi Junhei at first.

"Uh~ I don't know. Yokoi Junhei thought for a moment and said with an embarrassed face.

"What do you think of the TV market right now?"

"In the market, many families basically have televisions. ”

"Very good, what do you think would be if the TV could play games?" said Shukazu Minamino.

"Playing games?" exclaimed Gunhei Yokoi, really, he really hadn't thought of that.

In those days, there were basically no games, and even games were not digital games.

The concept of games is too much of a physical object.

Such as solitaire and so on.

"My Sony TV is absolutely world-class. I think TV is not only for watching TV, but also for playing games! My company is developing a game that can be played on TV. Are you interested in joining the research group?" said Minamino in a deep voice. He didn't bother to explain so much to the other party. Anyway, let him go to research and development, I believe that with the talent of this product, he should be able to go the right way.

Sure enough, Nanno Shuichi's words made Yokoi Junhei stunned after hearing it, and then muttered to himself: "TV games, TV games, ......"

"Would you like to join?"

"I do!" Yokoi nodded vigorously.

He felt that Shuichi Minamino had opened a door to his train of thought, a door that he had never thought of and had never thought of. And what was inside this door was what he was interested in!

"Very good! I'm going to set up a research group, and I'm going to invest 10 million yen in it, and you're the research team leader!" said Shuichi Minamino.

"Nani?" Now Yokoi Junhei is a little flattered!

He's a newcomer, and the other party not only let him join Sony, but also let him serve as the leader of the research team, this trust is too much, right?

"Okay, that's it, I want you to open your mind and develop it. I hope that the TV game will be developed soon. Minamino said with a smile.

In this way, Yokoi Junhei became a person of Shuichi Minamino and an employee of Sony.

After Gunpei Yokoi left, Shuichi Minamino looked at the sky outside the window and said to himself, "I hope that there will be a game called Super Mario in the next few years, and even if it can't appear, other TV games are good!"

If he wants to do it, he will be the world's first and the leader!
