631 [Let the devil convince orally]
I'm alive to make Nintendo uncomfortable!
In the Sega company building in Shinagawa District, Tokyo, Japan, Kang Jianfei finally met Hayao Nakayama who said this.
is short and short, only as tall as Kang Jianfei's chin, with a hairstyle similar to that of a certain head of state, wearing a straight suit, and the whole person looks very energetic and combative.
Today, Kang Jianfei owns 80% of the shares of the entire Japanese Sega company, and Hayabusa Nakayama, as the president of the company, only has the remaining 20%.
After knowing that Kang Jianfei was coming today, in addition to not being able to leave people's posts, Hayato Nakayama took all the employees of the company to the ground floor hall of the headquarters building to greet the big boss.
"Kangsang, long admired the great name! When we meet for the first time, please advise. As if holding a memorial service to mourn the dead, Hayakuo Nakayama gave Kang Jianfei a 90-degree bow.
"Hello, President Nakayama, I have long admired you, and Sega has developed very rapidly under your leadership." Kang Jianfei smiled and shook hands with Hayakuo Nakayama.
Before Kang Jianfei crossed over, his experience since he was a child allowed him to develop a pair of vicious eyes, just looking at the eyes of Zhongshan Hayabusa, he knew that this was not a guy who was willing to be subservient.
In another time and space, Hayao Nakayama was originally an executive of Sega, and took advantage of the collapse of the American game industry to unite with several Japanese merchants to acquire Sega's industry in Japan. In the following years, he joined forces with the CSK consortium to take the company's shares from several of his previous partners, and finally took full control of Sega.
Such people, because of the butterfly effect. Now only David has been acquired? With 20% of the shares in Lawson's hand, is he willing to work for Kang Jianfei for the rest of his life?
Before Kang Jianfei met with Hayakuo Nakayama, he had already done two things to show goodwill to the other party: First, the company's internal management remained unchanged. still let Hayao Nakayama run and manage the company; The second is to invest in the company's research and development of 16-bit game consoles, and not to dilute the shares in the hands of Hayao Nakayama after the additional investment.
For people like Hayao Nakayama, sometimes it doesn't matter how many shares the company has, but whether he can control the company and let the company run and develop with his thoughts and ideas.
In another time and space, after Hayao Nakayama cooperated with the CSK consortium, his shares were not as large as CSK. But because he is in full control of the company, he has a very good relationship with CSK.
Like the later Alibaba, Mr. Ma's personal shareholding is less than 10%. But he is the real owner of the company.
It was precisely because Kang Jianfei made two gestures of goodwill that Zhongshan Falcon reciprocated the favor and led the whole company's employees to greet Kang Jianfei, which was his expression of goodwill to Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei glanced at the Sega employees behind Hayakuo Nakayama. One by one, they were in good spirits. That kind of self-confidence is very contagious, and it is the spirit of the Japanese in the 80s, which is completely different from the Japanese after 2000.
Kang Jianfei also had contact with some Japanese before crossing, saying that the Japanese are workaholics is pure nonsense, Nima stayed in the company one by one to grind foreign workers, and the that could be done in half a day could be delayed until the evening to work overtime, and even if the work was completed, the leader did not leave and the employees would stay with him.
As for the Japanese who came to China on business. When the boss is there, they are very diligent, and they are busy before and after being like a grandson. My boss returned to Japan. They became uncles, all at ease, and they didn't take care of things at all.
Whether the national economy is prosperous or not can definitely affect the spiritual outlook of the people of a country, and the future Chinese will become more and more confident. At this moment, the Japanese in front of Kang Jianfei were at their most energetic, and they were all full of energy, with businessmen clamoring for "buying the whole of the United States" and politicians shouting for "Japan can say no".
At some point in the future, this qiē will all disappear, and the self-confident Japanese will be beaten from heaven to hell for a while.
After welcoming Kang Jianfei, most of the employees returned to their posts, and only a few followed behind Hayabusa Nakayama to accompany Kang Jianfei to inspect the entire company.
Kang Jianfei first walked around the company with Hayao Nakayama, and then came to a showroom, which was full of Sega's representative products over the years.
Sega is an old company that traces its roots to David? The Rosen era has a history of nearly 50 years. In the showroom, from the old coin-operated jukebox, slot machines, pinball tables, and quick photo booths (the first generation of stickers), to the new arcade machines, 8-bit home game consoles, laser disc game consoles, and more than a dozen video games developed by Sega, it is a completely condensed history of video games.
After visiting the showroom, Hayao Nakayama brought Kang Jianfei to the company's R&D department, which is the focus of today.
Hayao Nakayama picked up a game console and said: "This is a trial version of the 16-bit home console developed by our company, and the sound problem has been solved, that is, there are still some flaws in the image color." ”
The game console that appeared in front of Kang Jianfei is no different from the home machine that has been popular in later generations, after plugging in the game cartridge to link to the TV, the game screen is a little dim, and the tone looks uncomfortable, it seems that there are indeed some problems that need to be solved in imaging.
Now the world's home game consoles are 8-bit, and 16-bit game consoles, if they are successfully launched, will definitely cause a huge sensation and snatch back a large piece of the red and white console market share from Nintendo.
In another time and space, Nintendo's 8-bit red and white machine occupies a huge market for home game consoles around the world, and this kind of good shape makes Nintendo not rush to develop a 16-bit machine. As a result, Sega took advantage of Nintendo's paralysis and launched 16-bit consoles to grab the market, and in a short period of time became the world's second largest game console manufacturer after Nintendo.
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "Although I don't understand the technology, I believe that President Zhongshan will be able to deal with technical difficulties." ”
"I'll do my best!" Hayao Nakayama suddenly bowed very solemnly to Kang Jianfei.
"I brought a gift to President Nakayama today." Kang Jianfei beckoned to Liu Fei, who immediately opened the suitcase. took out the bag of each article and handed it to Yang Liqing, and Yang Liqing then held the manuscript and handed it to Kang Jianfei.
Since several of Kang Jianfei's personal secretaries and assistants did not come to Japan, Yang Liqing also made a cameo appearance as a private secretary this time.
Zhongshan Hayao's eyes only stayed on Yang Liqing for less than a second. His attention turned to the bag in Kang Jianfei's hand, and said, "I'm looking forward to Mr. Kang's gift." ”
Kang Jianfei opened the bag, took out a stack of manuscripts, handed it to Hayakuo Nakayama and said, "President Nakayama, please take a look." ”
"the_king_of_fighters "King of Fighting," Hayao Nakayama opened the manuscript, and the first thing he saw was a title, followed by a synopsis of the content. "In 19xx, martial artists from all over the world simultaneously received an invitation card from the author R, inviting martial artists from all over the world to participate in the martial arts tournament held by him. In the middle. There is a young Kusanagi Ryu who has been able to manipulate flames since he was a child, and the young Kusanagi Ryu ancient martial arts heir Kusanagi Kyo, with years of comprehension, he can even defeat his father Kusanagi Shibo. Become the most powerful heir in the family. Competitive Kyo. After receiving the invitation, he formed a team with his friends, including the showy Nikaido Komaru, and the judo Olympic gold medalist Goro Daimon, to compete in the tournament ......"
Hayao Nakayama didn't understand what was going on at first, even if he saw the character design of the game character, he thought it was a comic created by Kang Jianfei, but when the game character's move setting appeared. Hayao Nakayama realized it in an instant.
"Mr. Kang is going to develop a fighting game?" Hayao Nakayama asked.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "With this idea, these are the game plans I did. and some character settings. ”
Although Hayabusa Nakayama is extremely capable, he is not a traverser after all, and he said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Kang, although kung fu games have had a small range of popularity after the launch of "Street Fighter" last year, I am afraid that the market for this type of game is not large. ”
At this time, the concept of fighting games had not yet been formed, and many people regarded it as a branch of sports games, and even called fighting games kung fu games directly because Nintendo ported "Kung Fu" to home consoles.
The so-called basic elements of future fighting games, such as combos, gas storage, and teaming, have not yet appeared or are not mature at this time, and there are some problems with the balance of the game, so although the appearance of "Street Fighter" last year was refreshing, it did not bring much profit. Street Fighter is already making a lot of money for a small company, but for Sega, which is aiming to surpass Nintendo, developing a fighting game is a waste of time.
When Kang Jianfei wrote the game plan, he also had a basic understanding of the current fighting games, so he wrote all the elements that any player who has been exposed to fighting games in the future knows into the planning book.
"President Nakayama, I call this kind of fist and foot or sword fighting game a fighting game," Kang Jianfei said, "I think the development of fighting games has a lot of prospects, and action movies have always been one of the main genres of movies all over the world, whether it is a man or a woman, there is a desire to be a hero to save the world, or to become a strong man." At present, the most important factor restricting the development of fighting games is the extreme imbalance between characters and moves in fighting games, which reduces the playability of the game. Look at these settings that I added......"
Zhongshan Hayao's attitude towards Kang Jianfei has always been limited respect, after all, Kang Jianfei is the major shareholder of the company, and said that he will not interfere in the operation and management of the company, and he will also make additional investments free of charge.
But it's just respect, Hayakuo Nakayama doesn't think Kang Jianfei has any talent and vision for the development of game companies, so he doesn't care about Kang Jianfei's opinion.
However, out of politeness, after carefully reading Kang Jianfei's game plan, he immediately realized the development prospects of fighting games, and then bowed straight 90 degrees: "Mr. Kang, your idea is very exciting and operable, I retract my previous wrong view of fighting games. ”
"I'm just putting forward some immature ideas, how to make the game out of it, which requires your help, President Nakayama." Kang Jianfei smiled politely, but he was scolding his mother in his heart: I'll go to you Japanese devil, I've bowed three times today, and I really worship Lao Tzu as an ancestor.
After reading the game setting, Hayao Nakayama ran to see the character design, each character has three shapes on the front, side and back, and even a color picture of their moves, and then there is also the character's name, age, origin, personality, etc.
In Kang Jianfei's design, some basic characters are the same as the original "The King of Fighters", but many Chinese fighters have been added. Among these Chinese fighters are hidden masters from the mainland, boxing gym apprentices from Europe and the United States, and kung fu stars from Hong Kong, one of whom is based on Bruce Lee. When the game is made, a licensing agreement will be reached with Bruce Lee's family.
There are increases and decreases, and some characters in the original "King of Fighters" are from "Street Fighter", and Kang Jianfei deleted all the fighters from "Street Fighter 1" or changed the appearance name, so as not to cause copyright disputes in the future.
Zhongshan Hayabusa watched it for more than half an hour before he carefully read the character information of "The King of Fighters" and exclaimed: "Mr. Kang, you are simply a genius in game planning and design. Compared to your plan, Capcom's "The King of Fighters" is like a kindergarten game. You've got the whole story and characters right, and it's going to take at least half a year for a team to complete such a rich and perfect character and story setting. ”
Kang Jianfei said: "I want the game graphics to be as gorgeous and exciting as possible, and it would be better if it could be 3D." If you can't make 3D, you can also use a cartoon character. ”
"Although there are some difficulties, I will try my best to overcome it," Hayao Nakayama said with admiration, "With your game information, Mr. Kang, the development of this fighting game is only left in terms of technology and numbers, and I think it will be able to see the prototype in half a year at most, and after a period of adjustment and improvement, it may be available by the end of the year." ”
Kang Jianfei said with a smile: "When the time comes, I will release a set of comics in Japan and Hong Kong, called "King of Fighting", and there will be a live-action movie of this game later." ”
Hayao Nakayama's eyes lit up when he heard this, if Kang Jianfei could make a movie himself, then this would be a big boost to the promotion of the "King of Fighters" game in Asia, he patted his ass and said: "Mr. Kang, you can join Sega, this is an honor for Sega and myself, I believe that Sega will develop more smoothly with your help." ”
Kang Jianfei smiled and accepted Nakayama's compliments with peace of mind. Yang Liqing, who was standing behind him, saw that Kang Jianfei spent half a morning convincing the Japanese Nakayama Hayao, and immediately admired and respected Kang Jianfei even more. (To be continued......) RL
