PS: There is no way to guarantee the update for the time being, so I can only try my best, so ...... Sorry guys!

————————————————————————————————————————————

The development of the situation is the same as Kutaragi Ken feared, the weak Japanese government failed to withstand the pressure from the boss, sold the poor Sony Computer Entertainment to the whole, and the PS2, which had just gained a foothold in the North American market, was once again shackled, and the export license that had been in effect for less than three months was cancelled, of course, according to the Minister of International Trade and Industry, it was only temporarily invalidated during the investigation, and once the results of the investigation confirmed that the PS2 had nothing to do with Iraq's military plans, or that Sony Computer Entertainment did not play a key role in Saddam's crazy conception, then the PS2 export license will be re-effective。

Ken Kutaragi saw these words in that very formal announcement: "...... In order to ensure the smooth development of the investigation, Sony Computer Entertainment must suspend the export of PS2 and related equipment accessories during the investigation...... After the results of the investigation are announced, the Ministry of International Trade and Industry will review the export license of the PS2 again based on the results of the investigation......"

"Hmph~" Kutaragi Ken snorted coldly, he could guess what role the Japanese government played in this, but he was powerless to overturn such a decision, and even lowered his face to ask for help from Sony headquarters, but maybe it was because it involved too sensitive topics such as Iraq and military use, or maybe too many people were jealous of the development speed of Sony Computer Entertainment over the years, and in the end his request for help did not receive any effect.

With the cancellation of the PS2 export license, urgent paperwork from all over the world is piled up like snowflakes on Ken Kutagi's desk. In North America, PS2 game consoles stored in warehouses ready for the year-end business war have been sealed by local commercial management departments, and sellers who hoard PS2 game consoles have also received court bans, even if a few PS2s are still allowed to be sold, it has also been added with a lot of restrictions, anyone who buys must show identification such as a social security card or driver's license. In Europe, the originally lengthy process miraculously started almost simultaneously with North America under the operation of well-intentioned people, and the PS2 stored in warehouses and sellers in Europe soon suffered the same fate. In such a situation, it is conceivable how much room PS2 will have.

“…… Ships destined for ports in North America and Europe will be mothballed if they are loaded with PS2 consoles...... There are still four big ships on the way, so please decide whether to continue to the scheduled port or turn back to the port of Tokyo!"

Looking at the document in front of him to be approved, Kutara Muken's brows furrowed, and his heart was very conflicted. If it was before, the game console was very time-sensitive, Goods with relatively high profits are usually transported by cargo planes, in order to grab time, but under the strong pressure of DreamBox128, especially the price lowered by the other party from time to time, it is very difficult for Sony Computer Entertainment to deal with it, this time in order to win the year-end business war, Kutaragi Ken asked experts to make calculations, and then uncharacteristically chose a freighter to transport PS2 game consoles, that is, I hope to take advantage of the advantages of logistics costs, and occupy a favorable position during the year-end business war, at least not when the other party cuts prices, Sony Computer Entertainment is powerless to fight back。

But who would have thought that this clever plan has now made Jiu Ta Liang Mu Jian a bit of a dilemma. If a ship full of PS2 containers sails to ports in North America and Europe as originally planned, as long as the containers get off the ship, they will probably be greeted by the mothballing of the commercial department, and even if they are unlucky, they will not even be able to run away, but if they return now, not to mention the wasted fuel, the warehouse of the Port of Tokyo will not have a place for these containers for a long time.

Kutaragi Ken hesitated, but he also knew that he had to make a decision as soon as possible, after all, freighters on the ocean could not always float on water. Standing by the window, Kutaragi Ken gritted his teeth and made a ruthless decision, since there was no hope for the overseas market, he simply planned to set the main battlefield of the year-end business war in Japan. In any case, even if the PS2 console doesn't make money, he has to beat DreamBox128, otherwise his good days within Sony may come to an end.

Determined to pick up the phone and give a series of instructions to his subordinates, the four freighters will return to the port of Japan, and then the unloaded PS2 game consoles will be transported to the key areas of the year-end business war through the logistics company, and increase the operation of the sellers, and strive to make a comeback at the end of the year.

……

Time passes little by little, unhurriedly, Christmas is getting closer and closer, the atmosphere of the year-end business war is getting stronger and stronger, all kinds of goods are put on the shelves, in order to attract customers, major shopping malls, supermarkets have launched a variety of promotional activities, customers who have accumulated a lot of money in their hands haunt the stores, looking for their favorite goods, PS2 game console promotion is also at this time officially showed the signboard.

"28,890 yen, PS2 console take home!" Advertising posters like this have been erected in front of many game stores, and advertisements for PS2 game console promotions have appeared in TV newspapers from time to time, and the carefully selected price is just about 1,000 yen lower than the price of the DreamBox128, which is not much, but it has had a big impact on the psychological balance of players.

Looking at the daily rising sales data, Kutaragi Ken's tightly knit brows finally relaxed, and the Sony Computer Entertainment Building gradually returned to its former joy, although the Oriental Industrial Group did not make any strange moves, but Kutaragi Ken instinctively attributed it to the attractiveness of overseas markets. After all, the PS2 console has been lost, Nintendo's legendary console has not appeared, the aging N64 and the fading Dreamcast have not been able to have much impact, and the overseas market is almost an undefended area for the DreamBox128, "Maybe the other party has shifted its main focus to the overseas market, which is easier to start......" Kutaragi Ken guessed in his heart.

As it turned out, Ken Kutaragi seemed to have guessed correctly, and on the eve of Christmas, Square Enix held a large-scale press conference in New York, USA, showing CG footage of Final Fantasy 10 and the latest game development footage. In the CG clip of the game, under the bright moonlight, a woman dressed in white stood on the bank of the river, in front of her eyes, there was a little silver light wafting in the blue air, the woman reached out to touch, a gust of wind blew, her shoulder-length long hair fluttered gently, and a blue bell hanging down between the hair strands on her right cheek made a crisp jingle sound in the wind. The woman looked back in the twilight, a shallow smile curling into a brilliant arc on her lips......

Many male gamers fell at this moment, and it seemed that what appeared in front of them was no longer a CG character on the big screen, but a goddess in their minds. The goddess's clothes are as white as snow, as if shrouded in a layer of silver-white light, the goddess's earrings are pendant, pure blue with colorful colors, just like the nature of a girl, the goddess's necklace is crystal pure, bursting with bright and gorgeous edges, just like the fire of hope in the hearts of the world. Whether it is the lucky players on the scene, or the players who watched the live pictures through the Internet and TV, or even the Final Fantasy fans who are far away across the ocean, at this moment only the perfect figure of the woman in white in the CG clip of the game is left, and it is at this moment that the name of Yuna, the heroine of "Final Fantasy 10", is engraved in the minds of many players.

Handing the latest performance statistics report in his hand to Ken Kutaragi, Akihiro Aoyama said with a solemn face: "President, this is yesterday's sales data, since Square Enix announced the game development screen of Final Fantasy 10, PS2 sales have dropped a lot......"

Glancing at the key data in red on the report, Ken Kutaragi smiled lightly and said, "It's okay, Final Fantasy 10 is still early to be released......

"If Final Fantasy 10 is released now, then it's okay!" Akihiro Aoyama slandered Ken Kutaraki's indifference, but on the surface, he still echoed with a smile on his face: "What the president said makes sense......"

"Don't worry too much, it's just that the opponent wants to move us, we just need to push forward according to the original plan. Kutaragi Ken stood up and patted Aoyama Akihiro on the shoulder, and said kindly: "Aoyama-kun, it's up to you next!"

"Yes, President!" Akihiro Aoyama stood up and nodded violently.

After Akihiro Aoyama left, Ken Kuta's relaxed expression darkened, and he sighed fiercely as he looked at the bright red numbers on the sales report......

In less than a day, with the help of Kunpeng Anime, the CG footage of the clear version of Final Fantasy 10 landed in Japan, setting off another wave of craze among Final Fantasy fans, and at the same time, Capcom and Konami also shot one after another. Capcom brought the elaborate DreamBox128 platform of the big production "Ghost Warrior", as the spokesperson of the game and the prototype of the game's protagonist, Takeshi Kaneshiro also appeared at the scene of the sale, dressed in the costume of the game's protagonist Wise Zuo Masuke, holding a cool "Thunder Chopping Knife", from time to time posing in a variety of handsome shapes, which immediately caused many girls to scream of happiness on the scene, as well as the strong resentment of male players.

The game screen of "Ghost Warrior" is playing on the large-screen TV at the door of many game stores, holding the "Thunder Chopping Knife" Wise Zuo Masuke standing on the roof, fighting with an armor phantom demon holding a thick-backed broadsword and a prototype shield, the sound of the collision between the weapon and the shield echoes in the speaker, and the knife and shield are exchanged on the screen, under the "purple lightning" attack launched by the wise Zuo Masuke from time to time, the huge phantom gradually can't support it, and falls from the high roof......

There was a long queue in front of the game store, in addition to the fanatical players who came for the wonderful content of the game, and even some star-chasing girls who were just for the poster of Takeshi Kaneshiro in the game packaging also arrived at the scene, and the flow of people slowly but firmly moved towards the store, and the people standing in the line were looking at the lucky ones who came out of the store with a mixture of envy, jealousy, worry, and other emotions......
