Sega is not going bankrupt even though the economy is not going to go bankrupt due to the poor state of Saturn's consoles, coupled with the setbacks in the arcade market. What's more, Sega's management level is not good, but it has extremely strong hardware research and development and game development capabilities, but it is only the frequent tricks of the upper leadership that it has reached today. Sega's technical capabilities have always been at the forefront of the world, especially the performance of various types of 3D games, so if you can master Sega, it means that you can take the lead in the future game market. However, the current crisis of Sega is not fatal, Zhang Lexing feels that it is not yet the opportunity to make a move, but he does not plan to let Sega Company go easily, even if Hayato Nakayama can't negotiate, he can also start from Sega's parent company, CSK Group.

Bandai's fate is obviously not as good as Sega's, and it was originally able to come back to life with the animochi, but Zhang Lexing has already let Camry Toys get out in advance, and even sold to Japan, although there is a little bit of competition with "Pokemon" for the market, but after all, it has not flowed into his house. But Bandai was unlucky, and when he rejected Sega, it was very exciting for the company, but after the new president Kazunori Ueno took office, he found that he was facing a mess, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the people below couldn't come up with any clever tricks to turn losses into profits.

Bandai's own level of game development is actually not very good, and few works can exceed one million, but the number of animation works it has mastered is still very rich, it can be said that it is a treasure trove of adapted games, and Bandai's production and sales capabilities in toys and other aspects are also very strong, and there are also strong players like Sunrise in animation production. The reason why former president Makoto Yamashina wanted to merge with Sega was to learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and use Bandai's abundant resources and Sega's technical capabilities to create a strong consortium, but unfortunately he did not succeed.

Zhang Lexing is actually quite interested in Bandai, one is because of its accumulation in the toy industry, and the other is that there are many animations in Bandai's hands, especially the Gundam series, which is definitely a money-making vault. If Camry Toys can eat Bandai or a part of Bandai, it will be a great improvement to the competitiveness of Camry Toys in the Asian market and even the world market. Bandai is a family business, which was not so easy to deal with, and Zhang Lexing was only worried that due to his own influence, Bandai and Sega really merged, but what he didn't expect was that history turned a corner and returned to the original trajectory, and the merger between Bandai and Sega was terminated.

Now Zhang Lexing's opportunity has come, for Bandai, who is already standing on the verge of bankruptcy, as long as he pushes it slightly, it is enough to make him fall into the abyss and have no chance to turn over, but Zhang Lexing still made two preparations, on the one hand, he sent someone to contact Bandai and try to win it before bankruptcy. If Bandai is always reluctant to be acquired, it will be easy to do, as long as it continues to snipe in the market, and does not let Bandai find a chance to turn losses into profits, it will not be long before it will naturally fall into the abyss of bankruptcy, and then the assets in the hands of Bandai will be put on the shelves for public sale, as long as the shot is fast and resolute enough, the same can take the part that Zhang Lexing needs. But all of this will take some patience and will take some time to finally tell.

……

By the end of June, the effects of the failed merger between Sega and Bandai had faded away, and few people had talked about it except for the parties involved and some fanatical enthusiasts, and attention had been focused on Hong Kong, a big city in southern China, as July 1, 1997 approached.

"Lexing, do you think the dress I'm wearing fits?" Chen Zishan changed her clothes, came to Zhang Lexing, turned left and right, and asked.

Today is June 30th, and it is very close to the return of Hong Kong to China, in order not to let everyone miss the celebration, Oriental Industrial Group deliberately took two days off, leaving only the necessary personnel on duty. The core activity of tonight's "97 Hong Kong handover" was from 11:38 p.m. to the handover ceremony held at 0:12 p.m. the next day in the Great Hall of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center. For such an important event, Zhang Lexing will definitely not forget to bring Chen Zishan with him. Chen Zishan learned that she could participate in such an important moment, she began to be excited a few days earlier, and prepared a lot of clothes to wear at that time, so after dinner today, she rested for less than five minutes, and kept taking out all kinds of clothes from the wardrobe to change non-stop, one would be a delicate evening dress, and the other would be a slim slim dress.

Zhang Lexing raised his head and looked at it, this time Chen Zishan changed into an orange short-sleeved dress, and wore a pair of white diamond-encrusted high heels under her feet, and the whole person looked extremely elegant.

"This set looks good, so let's wear this. Zhang Lexing nodded with satisfaction, and then remembered the weather outside and the forecast on TV, so he instructed: "Shanshan, you can take another thin coat, now it has begun to rain outside, and it is relatively late today, maybe it will be cold, don't catch a cold." ”

Chen Zishan felt a warmth in her heart, leaned over, touched Zhang Lexing's face like a dragonfly, and then turned around and went back to the room to get her coat.

……

At 10:30 p.m., Zhang Lexing and his entourage came to the outside of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center, and after passing through the strict security line, only Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan were left, and even Ma Guanghai could only guard the periphery of the Convention and Exhibition Center with other bodyguards. When passing through the security check, Zhang Lexing also saw a foreigner who was blocked out because of incomplete documents, and listened to people nearby say that it was still a prince of some country.

After entering the venue, the guest seats under the stage were basically full, and under the guidance of the on-site staff, Zhang Lexing and Chen Zishan quickly found their seats and sat down, coincidentally next to Hong Kong's most well-known richest people and their families. Because there are usually some business dealings, Zhang Lexing immediately stood up and greeted these rich people.

At about 11 o'clock in the evening, military vehicles slowly and quietly drove out of the Wutongshan Tunnel in Shatoujiao, Shenzhen, and then turned onto Shayan Road and slowly drove towards Shatoujiao Port. On both sides of the road were people who had been notified or had come spontaneously, waving colored balls and color associations in return salute to the officers and men on board, and the silent streets of the night were awakened by the roar of engines and the roar of crowds.

The time gradually came to 11:38 p.m., and the handover ceremony officially began. The guards of honour of both sides are shown to take the stage, followed by the main representatives of both sides taking the field, and then after the captains of the guard of honour of both sides salut each other, it is the turn of the British to perform in the last 12 minutes of Hong Kong.

Prince Charles delivered a speech with a solemn face, followed by the British flag team entering, playing the British national anthem, and lowering the British flag, in the process, most of the British faces were slightly disappointed, while the faces of the Chinese were full of expectations. The British flag gradually lowered, the music came to an abrupt end, and the venue became as silent as a vacuum, which made people feel a little unbearable, as if they had waited for a long time, the majestic national anthem of the People's Republic of China suddenly sounded, and the five-star red flag and the regional flag of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region were raised, and after 150 years, Hong Kong finally returned to the embrace of the motherland.

Looking at the raised national flag and regional flag, Chen Zishan felt that her vision had become blurred, and her heart was filled with a surging passion. Zhang Lexing was also watching, originally he thought that he would not be excited after experiencing it once, but when the national anthem sounded, an indescribable emotion also gushed out, and he knew that he was wrong.

At the same time, most of the Chinese people who stayed up late to watch the handover ceremony excitedly shouted their own shouts, and the streets across the country rang out with firecrackers and cheers from time to time, and some even couldn't sleep all night with excitement. After dawn, all kinds of celebrations swept the whole country, and people all had the same thought in their hearts, "The motherland is strong, Hong Kong has returned home."

For example, a company that produces Nintendo's red and white machine (FC) cassette has tinkered with a "97 Hong Kong-Beijing Rally Car", and Alien Technology, which claims to specialize in the production of "original" FC games, has entered the PC game and spent a huge amount of money to develop a "Chivalrous and Pride: No Smoking Storm". In order to expand its influence, it not only marked the return of Hong Kong to the public, but also specially organized the students of Beijing No. 4 Middle School to have a patriotic game contest.

Fengyun Interactive has also made preparations for this event, and the game that came out is "Rise of the Dragon", a game that simulates management + strategy, which is provided by Zhang Lexing and developed by the creative workshop. Set in ancient China, Rise of the Dragon spans multiple eras such as the Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, and Song dynasties, with the game's focus on building cities, but also includes many military conflicts from different eras.

The release date of "Rise of the Dragon" was set for July 1, 1997, and although it was a niche game, the title with a beautiful meaning still attracted many players, including many people who did not originally play simulation management games, such as Zhao Wei, who claimed to have a "real-time strategy heart".

Tanks, cannons, machine guns are the childhood dreams of many men, and "Supreme Alert" can just meet the needs of players in this regard, plus fighting with people is endless, so Zhao Wei's favorite thing is to go to Fengyun Game Club to play the online game of "Supreme Alert" with those players when he is fine. Now that Hong Kong is about to return, as a Chinese Zhao Wei is still very proud, naturally he is interested in those games on the market under the banner of patriotism or Hong Kong's return, but he chose to choose, and finally he still liked "Dragon Rising", although this is a simulation type game that he has never played, but the double insurance of Fengyun Interactive + Creative Workshop still makes him very assured about the quality of the game, at least compared to those games that have not even seen the trial version.

queuing up to buy back a set of games, Zhao Wei hurried back to the dormitory, intending to experience it. Turning on the computer, Zhao Wei skillfully installed the game, and started directly without reading the game manual. When he actually entered the game, Zhao Wei learned from his classmates to play the demo version of "Rise of the Dragon", moved the mouse to build a few roads, and placed a few houses on the side of the road, and soon his "city" ushered in the first batch of immigrants.

But as Zhao Wei continued to go deeper, he gradually encountered many problems, either the house could not be upgraded, or there were always fires in places, and even the population declined, which made him anxious. In desperation, Zhao Wei had no choice but to move out the game manual, and after reading it carefully, he found that it was not easy to build a city. Players have to attract immigrants by building roads, planning housing, agriculture, industry and commerce. It is also necessary to provide various services for the residents, including fire prevention and disaster prevention, police, drinking water, food, ancestor worship, linen, music, herbal medicine, pottery, acrobatics, acupuncture, Buddhism or Taoism, tea, plus the silk, lacquerware, and drama required by the nobles, and keep an eye on all aspects of the life of the ancient people at all times, such as public security, employment, celebrations, and sacrifices, so that the people can live and work in peace and contentment, and then they can further use trade, military and diplomacy to protect the territory and defend the people, and open up the territory.

Zhao Wei suddenly realized that he had built the city too freely, and there was no prior planning at all, which led to exhaustion and filling in the gaps everywhere, so he restarted the current level and started his rise again. Zhao Wei sank into it, and gradually tasted the fun of simulated management, especially seeing the gradual upgrade from simple sheds to high-end residences, and seeing the city slowly growing bit by bit, which made him feel a sense of accomplishment, and also felt the true meaning of "governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh".
