The internal phone rang, and Ken Kutaragi reached out and pressed the call button, and the voice of the secretary's lady Anri Fujiwara came from the speaker: "President, Mr. Fukai is here." ”

"Well, let him in. Kutaragi Ken said casually, and then closed the call. Fukai Ichiro's appearance was not a surprise to him, but he came back earlier than expected, and it seemed that either things were going well or badly, and he couldn't help but feel a little more anticipation and nervousness in his heart.

There was a knock on the door, and Kutaragi Ken closed the document on the desk, sat up straight and said, "Please come in!"

The door of the president's office was gently opened, and Ichiro Fukai walked in with a solemn face, then bowed respectfully and said, "President, I'm back." ”

"Sit down and tell me, what's going on?" Kutaragi Ken stretched out his hand and motioned for Ichiro Fukai to sit across from him.

Fukai Ichiro nodded respectfully, pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat down, and then introduced the situation: "President, according to your commission, I went to visit several influential directors and actors. ”

"Hmm," Kutaragi Ken leaned forward slightly, looking expectantly and asked, "How's it going?"

Ichiro Fukai shook his head and sighed, "President, I'm sorry I didn't complete your commission. I visited a number of influential actors and directors on this trip, but they all refused. For example, JackChen, he refused very simply, and seemed unwilling to deal with us, and JetLi, and he didn't want to contact us, and then I asked someone to investigate, they should have signed a contract with another company, and it is very likely that it is the Oriental Industrial Group that is promoting DreamBox128, and the situation of others is similar, and the weight is basically already signed with others, and we can't get involved. ”

"Impossible," Kutaragi Ken hammered the table dissatisfied, and said, "There are so many famous directors and actors in the world, I don't believe he can sign them." ”

"That's true, but if you want to connect with those Hollywood stars, Sony Computer Entertainment is probably not the right fit. President, I think it's necessary to apply to the headquarters and ask the people in Colombia to help, after all, they have a lot of connections in the film industry. Fukai Ichiro made his own suggestion, and his gaze turned to Ken Kuta, waiting for his decision.

Kutaragi Ken is in a very conflicted mood now, intellectually speaking, he understands that what Ichiro Fukai said makes sense, if you want to invite a star with enough influence to help the PS2 game console, it may be difficult to rely on Sony Computer Entertainment alone, after all, everyone is a person in two circles. However, in terms of men's self-esteem, he is reluctant to ask people from other departments to help, after all, Sony Computer Entertainment can have today's status in the Sony Group, which can all depend on the hard work of him and his subordinates, and he was promoted to the director of Sony Group in the first half of the year in recognition of Sony Computer Entertainment's good performance last year and his efforts in it.

Six years ago, the PS project was almost canceled, and if it weren't for Ken Kutaragi's refusal to give up, coupled with a little coincidence, Sony Computer Entertainment would definitely not have the current glory. In Kutara Kiken's view, Sony Computer Entertainment's current achievements are all based on his hard work, and basically did not rely on the help of other companies under the Sony Group, and Sony Computer Entertainment's status today is also their own hard work. Now, if he asks for help from other companies, how will the top view Sony Computer Entertainment, and whether he will still rely on him as much as he does now, Kutaragi Ken is very worried in his heart.

Many people are like this, "it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift", "once the sea is difficult to water", and they have tasted the sweet taste brought by career success and power, and it is difficult to let go of it. If Ken Kutaragi hadn't stuck to the PS project, if he had been just an ordinary clerk, then he might not have to worry about it now. Unfortunately, he is now the president of Sony Computer Entertainment, and once many decisions are made, the impact will not only be on him, but will even lead to a significant decline in the status of Sony Computer Entertainment in the entire group.

Kutaragi Ken waved his hand at Ichiro Fukai, signaling Ichiro Fukai to go out first, he planned to think about it alone and weigh the pros and cons carefully. But less than ten minutes after Ichiro Fukai left, the phone indicator on the desk turned on again, and Ken Kutaragi frowned, reached out and pressed the call button.

The voice of the secretary's lady Anri Fujiwara came from the intercom: "President, Mr. Koshi Okawa of Sega Company called you, do you need to pick it up?"

"Okawa Gong?" Kutaragi Ken couldn't help but frown again. Speaking of which, Sony Computer Entertainment and Sega are not completely unconnected, and when they first entered the game industry, the two temporarily formed an invisible alliance to deal with their common enemy, Nintendo. However, with the SS game console and PS game console successively exceeding one million sales, coupled with Nintendo's N64 game console has not been released for a long time, the two gradually went to confrontation, so that from the second half of 1995, Kutaragi Ken has never contacted the then Sega president Hayao Nakayama, but I didn't expect Okawa to take the initiative to call today, which is really intriguing.

"Well, Miss Fujiwara, let's get the phone in!" Kutaragi Ken thought about it and decided to hear what Okawa was going to say first.

After a while, the voice of the elder Okawa came from the phone: "President Kutaragi, I'm Okawa Ko." ”

"Oh~" Kutaragi Ken immediately said in a slightly joyful tone: "Mr. Okawa, I heard that you haven't been in good health recently, don't work too hard, just do what is there and let your subordinates do it." ”

Okawa Gong heard the irony in Kuta's words, but he didn't feel the slightest displeasure, at least not from the tone of his voice, and still said very calmly: "President Kuta, are you free tonight? I happen to have a membership card for the Ginza Shikaming Club here, why don't you relax together?" ”

Kutaragi Ken frowned, what kind of place is the Ginza Deer Ming Club, as long as it is a man in Tokyo, he knows it, of course, he also understands that Okawa Gong will definitely not invite him to go with him to solve the man's physiological problems. But after all, everyone is still a competitor, especially Sega's SS (Saturn) game console is still defeated by the PS game console, and now if everyone sits together, Kutaragi Ken doesn't know what to say, do you want to ask Okawa Ko, when is your Dreamcast console going to close.

Just when Kutaragi Ken hesitated and was about to find some excuse to refuse, Okawa spoke again: "President Kutaragi, I think you should be interested, because President Yamauchi is also preparing to come over tonight." ”

"President Yamauchi?" Kutaragi Ken was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Mr. Okawa, do you mean Mr. Yamauchi from Nintendo?"

"Of course. Okawa replied briefly, and then fell silent, obviously waiting for Ken Kutaragi's answer.

Unexpectedly, Yamauchi Pu would also come back tonight, and the thoughts in Kutaraki Ken's heart changed suddenly, if it was just a meeting with Okawa Gong, to be honest, he was not interested at all, but the appearance of Yamauchi Pu made him have to pay attention to it. He could not have taken Sega seriously, or even Nintendo, but if the two families joined forces, it would be a scene he didn't want to see. In the past, when the three were fighting, Nintendo and Sega could be said to be mortal rivals, but now the situation is different, Sega's situation is getting worse, Nintendo seems to be faltering, and Okawa Gong is not like the previous presidents of Sega, in case he says that Yamauchi Pu, even if the two do not merge but unite, it is also a headache.

Of course, it should be impossible to talk about cooperation on this occasion today, there is no reason for the three companies to work together, even if they have this kind of thought, it is impossible for Kutaragi Ken to agree, he has his own pride, he doesn't want to rely on others for what he wants to do, he hopes to rely on the strength of himself and his team to complete, and besides, a company like Sega with a low eye, he can't look down on it at all, although he still has more respect for Okawa Gong.

But since Yamauchi Pu is going tonight, then he can't help but go, not to talk about cooperation, but to make others unable to talk about cooperation, thinking of this Jiu Ta Liang Mu Ken said happily: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and tonight will trouble Mr. Okawa." ”

"Hehe~" Okawa Gong's hearty laughter came from the phone: "Then I will wait for President Kutaragi at the Ginza Deer Ming Club tonight." ”

Koshi Okawa pressed the spring of the telephone, pressed the phone in the president's office on the dial pad, then put the microphone to his ear, and said with a smile: "Hey, hello, is it convenient for President Yamauchi to answer the phone now?" I'm Ko Okawa ......."

At night, Ginza, Tokyo's busiest business district......

Yuji Kobayashi held the toilet partition, and with a "wow" sound, he spit out the uncontrollable undercurrent in his mouth, and the clean porcelain white toilet immediately became a mess. After spitting, he casually pressed the flush button, shook his head, which was still a little heavy, came to the front of the sink, turned on the faucet and washed his face with cold water, and his spirit seemed to feel better.

Holding the sink, Yuji Kobayashi looked at himself in the mirror, and there was an illusory feeling in his heart. The restroom he is in now is located in the Ginza Deer Ming Club, this kind of place was not originally available to him with his income and status, but some time ago he happened to do a big boss a big favor, and the other party invited him to this club to enjoy life in order to thank him. Before he came, Kobayashi had heard a lot of rumors, such as high consumption and elegant kimono escort girls, but now after experiencing it, it feels like it is true, especially the kimono girl who belongs to him tonight, although he can't explore more deeply like other nightclubs, but just by relying on the woman's clever words, he has enjoyed a satisfaction that he has never experienced before, and even took a few more drinks than usual.

Staggering out of the bathroom, Yuji Kobayashi declined the help of the waiter on the side, and walked towards the private room where he had just stayed by holding on to the wall. After turning a few corners, he reached out and twisted the handle to push the door open, stood at the door and waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Mr. Yamada, I'm back again, haha......"

The people in the room were all looking at Yuji Kobayashi with a stunned look, he laughed twice and found that the situation was a little wrong, shook his head, and looked carefully into the room again, his face became embarrassed, it turned out that he went to the wrong room. Yuji Kobayashi smiled wryly, bowed embarrassedly, and said, "I'm sorry, I went to the wrong room!"

After speaking, Yuji Kobayashi took the door casually and ran away. After running a few steps, he suddenly remembered something, carefully recalled what he had just seen in the room, and the three men sitting on the sofa seemed to look familiar. Kobayashi Yuji's footsteps slowed down, and he thought hard as he walked, when suddenly it seemed like a lightning bolt crossed his mind, and he whispered in surprise: "How is this possible! How can it be the three of them!"

Kobayashi Yuji almost couldn't help but want to go back and confirm his conjecture, but before he came in, the big boss specially explained, what are the rules of this kind of club, and the kind of deliberately disturbing others belongs to the unpopular category, the first time it can be said that he went to the wrong room, and if he goes again, he will be kicked out of the club, and he will even be affected by the big boss who brought him.

Forcibly resisting the impulse in his heart, Kobayashi Yuji hurriedly returned to his private room, and after drinking the remaining wine in the glass, he made an excuse and left the room early. Out of the Luming Club, he found a phone booth on the side of the road and dialed a number to go out. After about five minutes, a black van drove up and stopped on the side of the road, and Yuji Kobayashi pulled the door and sat in, took a camera from his assistant, and whispered instructions to the driver. The black business vehicle quickly started, turned around along the road, and stopped on a street near the Deer Singing Club. Yuji Kobayashi changed the lens of the camera, adjusted it, then set up a small tripod in the car, fixed the camera, and began to wait for his goal.

This wait was more than an hour, and just when Yuji Kobayashi thought he was wrong and was about to give up, the goal finally appeared. The first to come out was Nintendo's Yamauchi, who, accompanied by two entourage, got into a white Nissan sedan on the side of the road, started the car and drove away. Immediately after that came out was Ken Kutaragi of Sony Computer Entertainment, who seemed to come alone, got into a black car on the side of the road, and drove away in the same direction. The last one to come out was Sega's Okawa Ko, whose expression was not clear from the frame of the camera, but it could be seen that his body was not very good, and he left with the help of others when he went out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity,Yuji Kobayashi took a lot of photos in one breath.,The results are not bad.,At least you can clearly see the faces of the three people.,The only thing that's a pity is that there is no group photo of the three people together.,But this kind of thing can only be thought about.,In this kind of high-level club.,If you dare to take out the camera.,The result is not just as simple as being kicked out.,Maybe even disappear somewhere in Tokyo Bay.。

After taking the photo, Yuji Kobayashi asked the driver to drive him back to his studio, he had already woken up from drinking, and found that the big news made him excited, he wanted to wash out the photo as soon as possible, and then send it to the editorial office with some text commentary, he believed that the editor-in-chief would be very interested in this matter. Nintendo's Yamauchi Pu, Sony Computer Entertainment's Ken Kutaragi, and Sega's Okawa Ko, these three people gathered in a high-end club in Ginza, and it was obviously impossible for them to talk to the escort girl, and he didn't see a woman at that glance just now, which shows that most of these three people came here to talk about something. Yuji Kobayashi didn't know exactly what to talk about, but it didn't prevent him from imagining and guessing some possibilities. In fact, no matter what the situation is, if these three people can get together, it will be tantamount to a big earthquake for the gaming industry.
