Chapter 144: Hideo Kojima, who writes a novel
Hideo Kojima is still in college, but it's only his final year, and it's basically an internship.
After the party, Tamahide Yoshiro proposed to go to Kabukicho to have a look and feel their Japanese culture, but he was not interested in this Jester, so he said that he was a little tired and was going to go back to rest first, and Hideo Kojima is also a person who likes cleanliness very much, and also said that he went back because one of his game designs had not yet been completed.
Tamahideyoshiro persuaded him: "Don't be in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry to get that game design, it's not bad to get together with everyone." ”
However, Hideo Kojima still shook his head and refused.
Seeing that Kojima was so persistent not going, Tamahide Yoshiro no longer insisted, but because Kojima came by company car, everyone was going to Kabukicho, and the famous Kabukicho here was not close to this restaurant, one of the cars would definitely be given to Jester, and if another one was assigned to send Hideo Kojima back, then this car would not be enough.
The taxi in this place is not very easy to play, Tamahide Yoshiro called a taxi driver he often contacts to ask, but I didn't expect that today is the taxi driver's father's sixtieth birthday, and now he is celebrating his father's birthday at home, and he can't come at all.
Hideo Kojima didn't want to delay the time of so many people, and he still had something to do when he went back, and he couldn't do anything if he went back too late, so he said directly: "I'll walk a little by myself, and I can take the train later, anyway, the nearest stop sign is not far from here." ”
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Yuxiu Yoshiro directly denied his construction.
"Then what's the matter, the nearest stop sign is not far from here, but there is no stop sign near the place where you live, five or six kilometers away, what time do you walk back."
At this time, Jester was also very interested in Hideo Kojima, who was known as the most talented designer in the future, so he said directly: "In this way, you give me the car, you don't need to send a driver, I changed an international driver's license before I came, I sent him back, and he happened to know the road and could be a guide for me." By the way, your name is ....... ”
Hearing that his big *OSS was going to send him back, Hideo Kojima suddenly bowed in fear, and thought that Jester didn't know his name, so he hurriedly spoke, and said before Jester: "Hideo Kojima, my name is Hideo Kojima, please take care of me!" ”
Jester smiled disapprovingly, he waved his hand and said, "I know your name is Hideo Kojima, and President Yoshiro Tamaki Yoshiro, who recruited you before, introduced you to me and said that you are very talented. ”
"Thank you!" Hearing Jester's compliment, Hideo Kojima bowed excitedly again.
A Toyota Crown business sedan driving on the neon flashing road, looking at the prosperity of Japan as much as the United States, Jester also sighed for the brilliant achievements of Japan's post-war reconstruction, although his soul is a mainlander, born with a hostility to Japan, but for extraordinary achievements, he still sincerely admires, the golden decade completed by the Showa generation is indeed the greatest miracle in the history of human economy.
But Jester knew that the prefix, which had been recited by the Japanese as the greatest economic miracle, would be replaced by the mainland's reopening up in a few decades.
Moreover, Jester also knows that under this prosperity, Japan's strong manufacturing industry has angered many countries, especially its suzerain, if his memory is not biased, in September of this year, the United States will unite the three other G5 member countries to force Japan to sign the Plaza Agreement, and then, it is time to shear the sheep.
According to the American saying, when sheep are fattened, aren't they just killed and eaten?
Thinking of this, Jester also thinks that using the Plaza Accord to hype up the yen is a good way to make quick money, but it's still early, and there is no need to worry, and his grandfather's best friend is still at home, and when he returns to China this time, he will go to New York to meet the future Wall Street tycoon, with Jester's understanding of him, his kind of self-respecting person, he will never allow himself to go on like this.
And the Plaza Accord is obviously a very good opportunity.
Are there any shrewd people among the Japanese? Can't these people see the insidiousness of the Plaza Agreement, and don't they know what kind of traps lie in it? No, but just like Lu Zhengxiang's sigh after the signing of the Paris Treaty after the end of World War I, a weak country has no diplomacy, although Japan's economy has become the second largest in the world, and the money is so rich that it can even buy the entire United States, but in the eyes of the real powers of the United States, he is a weak country, a weak country that does not even have its own national defense force.
Hideo Kojima sat in the back seat, and glanced at Jester who was driving from time to time, he likes to play games very much, and prefers to watch movies, so he is very familiar with Jester, saying that it may not be an idol, but when a game fan sees a maker who can only be dreamed of when playing games, there is still some little excitement, in fact, in that restaurant before, Hideo Kojima wanted to ask some questions about game design, but the other party is a big * OSS, and he is just an intern, At that time, so many seniors present wanted to be close to the big *OSS, and their juniors were not qualified to talk to themselves.
At this time, the rearview mirror on the roof of Jesterton Guò saw that Hideo Kojima, who was sitting in the back row, had a few words to stop talking, and immediately knew that the other party might be restrained, so he just smiled disapprovingly and took the initiative to speak.
"I just heard President Yuxiu say that you studied economics in college?"
Hearing Jester's sudden questioning, Hideo Kojima, who was still a little distracted before, was shocked at first, came back to his senses, and then said with some embarrassment: "Yes, but I don't like economics, and I didn't change my department if I wanted to, so I didn't study this major much in the past few years in college." ”
"Huh." Jester smiled at first, and was about to say something, but he saw an intersection in front of him, so he opened his mouth first to ask, "Which way to turn ahead?" ”
Hideo Kojima glanced up when he heard this, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the left side while speaking out of his mouth.
As soon as Jester hit the steering wheel, the car turned in the direction that Hideo Kojima said, and then he continued to ask: "No wonder President Yuxiu said that your university evaluation is not good, if you are applying for an administrative or business position, maybe President Yuxiu will directly pass you, but fortunately he took a second look, but I didn't expect you, a student of the Department of Economics, to apply for game development." ”
As soon as Jester turned to game development, Hideo Kojima's interest suddenly rose.
He was not as reserved as he was at the beginning, he became active, he said embarrassedly: "The teacher didn't change my major, and I didn't have any interest in economics, so I released their pigeons, and I basically didn't go to a few classes in the past three years." ”
"Oh?" Jester was puzzled at first, and asked curiously, "Then what have you done in college in the past three years?" ”
"Write a novel!"
Speaking of what he used to do in college, as long as he doesn't talk about economics, Hideo Kojima also has a desire to talk, in fact, his novels are not taken seriously, and he has also read them to his friends and classmates, and they don't have a good impression of Hideo Kojima, who participates in club activities outside all day long and plays sparrows, so some people don't even read it and directly reply to him that his writing is terrible.
Although this was a bit of a blow to Hideo Kojima, it strengthened his confidence that he would write an excellent novel that would impress everyone.
Hearing Hideo Kojima say that he had written a novel, Jester was a little surprised, he really didn't know that Hideo Kojima had this experience, he only knew that Hideo Kojima liked movies very much, and he was able to choose to engage in the game industry only because he wanted to make games as exquisite and excellent as movies, and the games could express his ideas and ideas more perfectly.
However, when he heard Hideo Kojima talking about the novel he wrote, he looked excited, Jester also had some curiosity, he knew that the plot of the hidden dragon spy in later generations was written by Hideo Kojima, and the designer who was able to write such a classic plot must have written a very good novel, and he had never heard of Hideo Kojima having experience as a writer before, so Jester asked tentatively: "Are you interested in becoming a writer?" ”
Unexpectedly, hearing Jester's words, Hideo Kojima shook his head.
"No, I don't want to be a writer. I used to write novels to express my ideas, but it didn't achieve the visualization I wanted, I wanted to be a director, but, you know, Japan is not the United States, the film industry is not that developed, and the cost of film is not something I can afford, so ......"
Hideo Kojima didn't finish speaking, but Jester had already guessed, and he continued with Hideo Kojima's words: "So you chose to make games? ”
"Yes?" Hideo Kojima nodded solemnly.
Then he said with a very serious expression: "I want to express ideas in a game way that I can't express in words." ”
"So why did you choose Mars Entertainment? You know, we're not a Japanese company, and we're definitely going to be ostracized by those Japanese game companies, so you're not afraid of being criticized? For example, watch a Japanese person help the Americans crack down on their own businesses! Jester continued to ask in a slightly curious tone, and he also listened to what Tamahideyoshiro had just told him about the recruitment problem, not only those who have worked in the industry for several years and have deep R&D experience will not leave the company he has worked for a long time lightly, even the best Japanese graduates, his own company is not the best choice.
Although their own Mars Entertainment is much more famous than K Society, Namco, Hudson and other Japanese game developers, and it can even be said unceremoniously, they are not on the same level as themselves, but these elite graduates of Japan who like video games are still rushing to those Japanese companies, and they can only recruit some of the rest of others.
This feeling also made Jester very speechless and depressed. R1152
