Zhang Lexing moved the mouse and pressed the left button, closing the last email on the display, his work today is almost over, if there is nothing unexpected to disturb, he can make a love meal for Chen Zishan again. Walking out of his workshop and coming to the private kitchen on the same floor, Zhang Lexing came to the sink near the windowsill, turned on the faucet and washed his hands, and he saw Chen Zishan and her mother Chen Xinyu walking on the lawn downstairs through the window.

According to Chen Xinyu's thoughts, it is best to stay in the house in the first trimester of pregnancy, and lie on the bed honestly without moving. “…… What if you have a miscarriage? Chen Xinyu said with deep understanding of her experience, she had suffered this loss in the past, otherwise Chen Zishan might have a brother or sister.

After just trying for a day, Chen Zishan couldn't stand it, lying on the bed as if she was paralyzed, and she couldn't even turn over, I'm afraid few people could endure it. In the end, I had to invite a doctor, and after some professional guidance, Chen Zishan finally had a chance to let off steam, and when the weather was good, she could go downstairs to the lawn accompanied by a nurse or her mother. As for work, Chen Zishan has basically let go of her subordinates, and only when necessary will documents be sent to her for signature, and now the most she does every day is to listen to soft music and lie down to rest.

Watching Chen Zishan and her mother walking slowly on the green grass in the sun, Zhang Lexing took out a towel to clean the water on his hands, then opened the storage compartment, took out a small pumpkin, washed it and cut it into thin slices with a knife, put it in a bowl and put it in the steamer, turned on the fire and started steaming. Then I scooped some japonica rice from the rice bucket, washed it and put it in a saucepan. Zhang Lexing is going to make a simple pumpkin stem rice porridge this time, according to the doctor, this porridge is very suitable for pregnancy, not only to promote the development of fetal brain cells, but also to prevent pregnancy edema, hypertension and other pregnancy complications, in short, it is very good, and it is not too troublesome to do.

Zhang Lexing took out the steamed pumpkin, carefully mashed it into a puree, and then threw it into the boiling stew pot, and slowly stirred it with a long-handled spoon while continuing to boil......

Tokyo, Japan, in the Sony Computer Entertainment Office Building......

Sitting in his president's office, Ken Kutaragi listened to Akihiro Aoyama's report on the preparations for the "PS-One" project: "President, all preparations are in place, and the factory is working hard to prepare enough goods for July 7...... There are still some problems with mobile phone adapters that use mobile phones to access the Internet, and it is necessary to coordinate data exchange with network communication providers, and the production line of dedicated chips needs to be readjusted, so it can only be postponed to the autumn...... The development of the dedicated LCD screen for the PS-One is nearing completion, and it is expected to be available in the spring of next year, when it comes to the 'MobilePowerOne' power bank, our PS-One can even be used as a portable gaming ......."

Taking a deep breath, the expression on Ken Kutaragi's face was still very grim, the "PS-One" project was going well, he should be more satisfied, but that damn DreamBox128 hung over the head of Sony Computer Entertainment like a big sword, making him restless all the time, especially when he saw the other party's global sales numbers going straight up.

But who made PS2's performance too bad, it's been almost six months, but in terms of weekly sales, except for the first day, it has never surpassed DreamBox128, even if the opponent continues to be so flat and no longer break out a few times occasionally, PS2 will never be able to catch up with the opponent, and will only be pulled further and further away by the opponent. But who is to blame for this, blame the Japanese government, blame them for not treating the PS2 as a conventional weapon-related multi-purpose product, but the same performance, the processor is even more than one DreamBox128, but no one cares, sometimes Kutaragi Ken feels like a second-class citizen, which is really sad.

In fact, if it weren't for the Japanese government's sideways, Sony Computer Entertainment would not have the ability to open up the European and American markets, for no other reason, or its own problems, although it has been adjusted, although the core factory has been put into production, but the problem of insufficient production capacity of PS2 game consoles can not be solved in a moment. Even if the Japanese government does not restrict the export of PS2 game consoles, Sony Computer Entertainment can at best advance the release date in North America by a month.

Unable to rely on the PS2 game console to directly resist the opponent, especially when the opponent also has the help of "Final Fantasy 9", Kutaragi Ken had no choice but to set his sights on the mature PS game console production line, knowing that the PS-One could not compete with the game consoles of the new century in terms of performance, so he asked his researchers to find another way, from the size and volume, and then add fashionable network functions, so the PS-One, which has gathered the latest scientific and technological achievements, made its debut.

There is still more than half a month to go, PS-One is about to be officially launched, and when I think of facing the pressure of "Final Fantasy 9" as soon as I first appear, Ken Kutaragi, who was still full of confidence, is also a little lacking in confidence, but in front of his subordinates, he is still very good at controlling and does not reveal his negative emotions.

"Aoyama-kun, in order to fight for more living space for PS2, you must prepare for the sales of PS-One, and the company's success or failure is in one fell swoop!" Kutaragi Ken commanded with a majestic face.

Akihiro Aoyama stood up and nodded violently: "Yes, president, I will definitely do my best!" ”

……

Okawa sat on a hospital bed, and next to him were his most trusted lawyer, Shiraya Kuchiki, and Tetsu Kayama, who was known as the successor to the president of Sega.

"Mr. Okawa, it's all our fault for not working hard enough." Kayama Tetsu looked at Okawa Gong's emaciated cheeks and said ashamedly, "Actually, you don't have to do this!" ”

"Yes, Mr. Okawa, have you really figured it out? That's 50 billion yen, which is not a small amount. "As an old relationship for many years, Kuchigi Hakuya doesn't want to oppose Okawa Ko's decision, it's just that this amount is too big, and it must be confirmed at least once again anyway.

Okawa Gong, who was sitting on the hospital bed, shook his head calmly, and said in a slightly weak voice: "It's okay, anyway, I don't have to count on this money to live, Sega needs it more than me, otherwise the current situation will be difficult to hold on." ”

When Shoichiro Iriko was still the president of Sega, Okawa Ko had a lot of expectations for this person and looked forward to the future of Sega, but after Shoichiro Iriko left and he personally took over as the president of Sega, he gradually understood Sega's current predicament, which was more difficult than he imagined before, and it was already difficult to deal with the loss of more than 28 billion yen, not to mention that there were DreamBox128 and PS2 outside.

Now Okawa Gong seems to understand a little bit of Shoichiro's original suggestion, and the withdrawal of the Dreamcast console from the market may really be a solution, but he is unwilling, he has always been unwilling. Sega began to fight with Nintendo a long time ago, and later a Sony appeared, during which there was both the joy of short-term success and more endless failures, but Sega persevered. If the Dreamcast console really withdraws from the market, then with Sega's current situation, I am afraid it will be difficult to return to the home game console market in the future, which is why he is so unwilling, so he has today's scene. Okawa hopes that the money he donated will help Sega survive the toughest of times, and maybe things will turn around.

"But ......" Kayama Tetsu still couldn't accept it, the old man in front of him had already contributed a lot to Sega, and now he was taking out his personal property for free, which made them feel embarrassed by the senior management of Sega.

"Don't push me anymore, I know that the North American company is planning to promote the music game Space 5, and if you don't accept my donation, you're going to have a hard time pulling out enough money to push the project forward, which will only make things worse for the Dreamcast console." Okawa turned his head to look at Kuchigi Hakuya, and said tiredly: "Okay, help me take out the contract, sign it now!" ”

"Yes, Mr. Okawa." Kuchigi Hakuya dug out the pre-prepared property transfer agreement from his briefcase and handed it to Okawa on the hospital bed.

Kayama Tetsu looked at Okawa Ko, who was watching the agreement on the hospital bed, and remembered the bits and pieces he had done for Sega over the years, especially when he saw that he was very haggard from being tortured by his illness, and his heart couldn't help but feel sour......

Compared to the troubles of Sony Computer Entertainment and Sega, the mood of the people on Nintendo's side is obviously much better, and they even held a special event to celebrate the global sales of the GameBoy exceeded 100 million units, and it was not one, not only in Kyoto, but also in North America.

Minoru Arakawa, who had not been seen for a long time, also appeared at the celebration scene of the North American branch, and told the media: "From a business point of view, the GameBoy handheld has achieved unexpected success by virtue of its unique lightweight type, more than 1,000 games, and a wide user base suitable for all ages......

Minoru Arakawa spoke appropriately, but Yamauchi Pu, who was in Kyoto, didn't know if he was carried away by the unprecedented results achieved by the GameBoy, and he openly announced at the celebration that the performance of the GameBoy's successor, the GameBoyAdvanced, was comparable to that of the Dreamcast console. As soon as this remark came out, the reporters at the scene were in an uproar, of course, they felt very happy, anyway, no matter whether what Yamauchi Pu said is reliable or not, there is content written on tomorrow's page, and some people have even begun to plan to interview the current president of Sega Ogawa Ko, when the time comes, Yamauchi Pu said that "the performance of GameBoyAdvanced is comparable to that of the Dreamcast console" and ask it, no matter how Okawa Ko answers, or even does not answer, in short, there can be content to write. If Okawa thinks that what Yamauchi said is unreasonable, then he can write "Okawa Gong angrily denounces Nintendo's irresponsible propaganda", and if Okawa does not answer the reporter's question, then it can be written as "Okawa Ko is speechless in the face of the reporter's question", anyway, for some reporters, the same thing may not be understood by the person concerned.

Beijing, China, Capital International Airport......

GamaSoft President Kim Jae-yeon and his entourage walked out of the airport terminal in the dust, they were lucky to see the people who came to pick them up, a huge sign in Korean that read "Welcome GamaSoft President Kim Jae-yeon and his party", under the sign stood a few Chinese, it was obvious that this group was to greet them.

Kim Jae-yeon came to China this time to expand his company's overseas business, after all, China is a relatively close place, and the cultural aspect is in the same line, so the acceptance of games should be relatively high. The reason why some people came to pick up the game was also introduced by a well-connected game development company, which began to try to sell the game to China last year, and at that time, it was represented by a company called "Shortcut Computer" that came to pick up the game today. Kim Jae-yeon's trip was mainly to negotiate with Shortcut Computer to represent their company's games, and by the way, to investigate the game market in China, and even he had more ideas. Kim Jae-yeon has heard many people say that it is cheap to hire people in China, and he has the idea of stopping by this time to see if it is true, and if that is the case, he also wants to invest in building a game production team with lower development costs.

It's already hot in Beijing in June, but it's still relatively comfortable to sit in an air-conditioned car. When the car drove into the city, the high-rise buildings along the way made Kim Jae-yeon often look out the window, before he came, the imagination of China in his mind should be a very backward place, who knew that when he arrived in Beijing, he was very surprised to see the situation, and even felt that it was more prosperous than Seoul, at least the city looked much bigger than Seoul. Kim Jae-yeon couldn't help but be a little worried about whether the Chinese so-called cheap rumors he had heard were true, but from a good place, there should be many people in such a prosperous place who could afford to consume game software......

Li Wenbo closed the game he was debugging, and couldn't help yawning, now he is no longer using the original "game dream factory", that thing was okay when I first started using it, and it was relatively fast to develop a game or something, but I really went deeper, and I couldn't do it if I wanted to make a game with higher efficiency and a larger scale, so with the help of a friend, he has now used a more professional XNAGameStudio lite version, and the game in development is also nearing the end, and it will be debugged for a few more days, They're going to put it out for others to try out.

Yawning again, Li Wenbo clicked on the ISDN dial-up connection on the desktop, and after connecting to the network, he casually opened the "Lianzhong Game World", ready to play two games of arch pig to relax. After entering the account and password, as soon as he entered the game hall, he saw a very eye-catching advertising banner, which read: "Lianzhong Club opens exclusive membership service, only 120 yuan a year". This advertisement has been appearing for several weeks, and when I saw it for the first time, Li Wenbo also looked at it curiously, which said that Lianzhong will open a members-only area to provide paid members with a better environment, faster speed, more awards, more complete services, and a more secure online space, and there are dedicated servers and full-time administrators.

However, Li Wenbo has no interest in this, anyway, he only occasionally plays with two arch pigs, spending 120 yuan a year for this, which seems a bit too extravagant. Looking away from the advertising banner, the mouse pointer moved to the "arch pig" in the game list, a standard quick click, after choosing the right room, Li Wenbo yawned and began to play with the arch pig......
