In addition, there is the construction of a theme park.

The plan is to build three in the United States and two in Asia, which is the initial plan, but only one will be built at the first time, according to the results of the first theme park, and then decide when the remaining ones will be built, and neither Jester nor Samsung wants to build so many theme parks independently, and it is inevitable to introduce investors who are interested in it.

How do you get those people to invest?

Only the first paradise has made achievements, and the essence of merchants is profit-seeking, as long as it is profitable, naturally, you can see the traces of merchants.

Jester told Lee Kun-hee about the matter, and Lee Kun-hee also said that there was no problem.

Because that's what he thinks, too.

There is also one thing that Li Jianxi cares about the most is the investment and construction of Texas Instruments' silicon wafer factory, although the negotiation process between the two sides is very smooth, and the preliminary intention has also been publicized, but I don't know what TSMC promised Texas Instruments on that side, and now Texas Instruments' attitude has wavered a little.

This makes Li Jianxi extremely dissatisfied, to be honest, Samsung does need Texas Instruments' silicon wafer factory, but if Texas Instruments does not have the sincerity of honest cooperation, they do not have to get Texas Instruments' silicon wafer project in hand, because Li Jianxi has other ways, although this road is much more troublesome than directly getting the established production line from Texas Instruments.

Li Jianxi hoped that Jester would act as an intermediary to contact Texas Instruments again and explain to them Samsung's attitude, because this attitude was too harsh, so Li Jianxi wanted him to be a buffer to avoid Texas Instruments from turning his face immediately after hearing it.

And Jester agreed.

After all, the more powerful Samsung will be in the future. Then the more benefits there will be for him.

Eight days later, Jester was in a manor on the outskirts of Los Angeles, where Jester met Ken Kutaragi and Hayao Nakayama, this manor Jester didn't take long after he bought it, mainly because Claudia bought it when he came to Los Angeles before, and Jester naturally didn't want to accept it.

It's not the first time I've met Hayabusa Nakayama, and the two have worked together many times, so they can be said to be extremely acquainted.

It's the first time I've met Ken Kutaragi.

Jester has seen the photos countless times, after all, he was a real Suo Qing before the crossing, for Kutaragi Ken, a Sony legend. It's almost familiar.

The surname of Ken Kutaragi is Kutaragi, which is not too popular, even in Japan, this surname is extremely rare, it is said that this surname is not a native Japanese surname, but a generation of immigrants from the Korean Peninsula, of course, just a legend.

As a matter of fact. Jester admires Kutaragi Ken very much.

"Luckily!"

Jester just saw Kutaragi Ken, so he took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his hand, with a sincere expression on his face, which made Kutaragi Ken slightly stunned. He personally didn't expect Jester to be so welcoming, and he didn't think that Jester would greet him first, not the other person next to him. Hayao Nakayama.

It stands to reason that Hayabusa Nakayama is the head of Sega, and his status in the industry is much higher than himself. Until now, Hayao Nakayama is also the vice president of the Japan Arcade Association, and because of the relationship he has worked with Jester before, Hayao Nakayama should have maintained a good personal relationship with the other party.

In this case, according to Ken Kutaragi's analysis, it seems that Jester should not have shaken hands with him in the first place.

However, since this was Jester's initiative to show favor, Kutara Kiken naturally laughed at it, and he also stretched out his hand quickly, grasped Jester's hand hard, and shook it vigorously.

"Mr. Lee's youth is astonishing."

This is not to say this because Kutaragi Ken is not modest, because Jester is only twenty-four years old now, and he is a real young man.

"I hit it off with Mr. Kuta Ryogi, and I hope Mr. Nakayama doesn't think that he is slacking off."

At this time, Jester withdrew his palm from Kutaragi Ken's hand, and then reached out to Hayao Nakayama, who was standing aside with a somewhat strange face, and stretched out his hand to him, and said a few words with a smile.

"Where."

Hayao Nakayama really didn't seem to be affected by the previous incident when Jester shook hands with Ken Kutaragi first, and the strangeness on his face disappeared instantly when Jester's gaze moved to him, and at the same time, a smile appeared on his face, and he shook Jester's hand vigorously while laughing.

At the same time, he kept saying kind words in his mouth, as if he really didn't take the previous things to heart.

In fact, just a short moment later, Hayao Nakayama knew a little why Jester would use his means when he first met, because the previous price reduction strategy of Hisao Koguchi did cause great trouble to Jester, which may also be regarded as Jester's counterattack against Hisao Koguchi's price reduction turmoil.

However, only Hayao Nakayama himself knows, he also has a hard time, although Hisao Koguchi's price reduction strategy seems to be extremely successful, not only so that Mars Entertainment's dreambox2 has to adopt a trade-in strategy, but also, even Sony's PS1 console, is forced to adopt a similar price point.

You know, at this price, it is difficult for them to make money on hardware, and even count marketing, promotion, logistics expenditures, and even lose money, that is to say, although the current Sega MD seems to be selling well, and it is gradually eating away at market share in the North American market, but only he knows that in this case, the more hosts he sells, the more money he loses.

As for whether you can rely on software to earn it back later, theoretically speaking, it is feasible, but in practice, it is difficult to say.

At least with the current market share of less than 10 percent, there is no way to complete its own ideas.

After sitting down in the room, the two sides exchanged a few polite words and immediately got to the point.

Matters related to the establishment of the World Video Games Association.

First of all, on whether to establish or not, the three parties have no opinion, and the opinions of the three parties are that such an association must be established, and then the question arises, where is the address of this association? And how does this association work? How is it managed? How to elect officers such as the president.

It's just these three rudimentary issues, and these three game companies in the world, except for Nintendo, are arguing with each other.

For example, the plan on how to elect the president is generally agreed upon by all three parties is that the president of each term is elected by the permanent members of the association, and the more subdivided issues of how to elect the permanent directors and how many permanent directors there are will be moved to the second step.

As for the question of how to manage, this is very simple, the current Mars Entertainment, Sega, plus Sony Computer Entertainment, which is backed by the mountain of Sony, has almost 60% of the world's distribution channels, as well as 90% of the platform share, although the current share of the platform share is almost all contributed by Mars Entertainment and Sega, but none of them dare to underestimate Sony, a newcomer.

As long as the resources of these three companies, which occupy the vast majority of the resources in the industry, can be connected and consistent, then it is natural to set rules for the entire world game industry.

None of this is a problem.

For example, for the current noisy game classification, although no country has taken the lead in classifying games, but in the eyes of any insightful game practitioner, it is like a movie rating, and the game rating system will definitely come in the future.

The World Video Game Association can take the lead in proposing its own rating standards before that.

Of course, this standard is only for the home console market, because the PC platform is a public platform, as long as you want, then anyone can publish games on the computer platform, which is beyond the control of Jester and other game companies.

But the platform of the home machine is not an open platform, it is not that you can develop games if you want to develop games on this platform, to say the simplest, for example, on the PC platform you want to develop games, you only need to have a PC computer is enough, and you don't need anything else.

But that's not the case with developing games on home consoles, first and foremost, you'll need to get a development machine that's dedicated to developing console games.

And what is a development machine? You just need to know that this is a necessary development tool for developing console games, and only with this thing can you develop console games.

For example, if you want to develop a game on the Dreambox, then you need to have a Dreambox development machine, and if you want to develop a game on the Sega MD, you need a development machine on the Sega MD.

And getting a development machine is not the end, you have a development machine, it just means that you can engage in the development of console games, but what is the development of games for?

A lot of people say it's playing.

It's true that games are definitely developed to play, but for whom? To the player, how can you give the player to play? It's up to the sale, and as for whether your game that has been made can be sold on the platform you want, it's up to the company that owns the platform to decide.
