Chapter 127: Sue Me
"Hello Mr. Lee, I'm Elizabeth, a reporter for Newsweek. Winnie, I would like to ask, how do you distinguish your computer from your home console? I heard you say before, it seems that the computer you are going to make is just a high-end console that is expensive and can only play very few games? Truth be told, this is unappealing to the vast majority of people. ”
The voice of this beautiful reporter is still very beautiful.
But there are some questions that Jester doesn't want to answer now, but his character doesn't allow him to say no comment, so in the face of this question, Jester was only silent for a few seconds, and then said directly: "Mr. Reporter, in fact, your substitution made a little mistake, when I was preparing to make such a brand, I knew that it must be niche, so at the beginning of the design, it was not ready to be accepted by the vast majority of people, as I just said, It's just a prototype for a handful of people who can experience what the next era of gaming will be. ”
"Then I can understand that it's just a game that can only play the next era you said, but the other functions are single, just to show off to others who can't play it?" The beautiful reporter's tone was aggressive, and it was clear that she didn't let Jester's thoughts go.
Hearing the reporter's question again, Jester also pursed his lips vigorously, and then he carefully looked at a beautiful woman who could score eight points for him, before continuing: "This is my last reply to this question, and I don't want this Q&A meeting to become just a question about such a product." ”
The beautiful reporter smiled and was noncommittal.
"This beautiful lady, on your first question, my answer is no, this computer will have all the functions that other personal computers can have, we will look for a software development company for our operating system, if we can't find it, then we will develop it ourselves, my reply to this can be simply summarized in this sentence, what can be done on other personal computers, can still be done on our computers, and what other personal computers can't do, our computers can still do."
"And as for your second question, yes, the game features are our selling point, and you can simply understand that this is a product that you can't show off to those who can't have it." Jester replied to this question unceremoniously, ignoring the beautiful reporter's feelings, but said directly to the emcee who presided over the meeting, "Next." ”
And the beautiful reporter who was hung aside by Jester could only stomp her feet a little angrily and sat down unwillingly.
This time, the master of ceremonies was spotted, and standing up was a middle-aged man with black hair and black pupils, and a short stature, from the extremely obvious tongue curling sound as soon as he opened his mouth, Jester judged in an instant that he had the nationality he had, Japan.
Sure enough, the diminutive middle-aged reporter stood up and bowed slightly, and then introduced himself: "Mr. Li, I'm Yuyuki Kimura, a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun, and what I want to ask is that at Nintendo's press conference before, they were equipped with incredible light guns on the Nintendo advanced audiovisual system that was ready to go on sale, and it caused a certain sensation, and this home game console called Dreambox that you announced before, to be honest, I don't see any essential difference between it and the Atari console. ”
"Huh." Jester sneered first, he could have thought of this kind of question before, and he could judge that this news reporter of "Asahi Shimbun" must have been instigated by Nintendo to ask such an obvious offensive question.
Although they are all questions, this question is fundamentally different from the previous questioning of the high-end gaming computer he demonstrated to be launched, one is a deliberate provocation, and the other is not.
So, this time, Jester's tone was not as gentle as it had been at the beginning, but became stern.
"Mr. Kimura, I am studying electrical engineering, I don't know what major you studied in college, maybe your major is not the right one, so your knowledge of hardware is limited, as far as you just asked, I found that you do not have a clear understanding of what technology is advanced and what technology is backward, I think it is better for your newspaper to send a reporter with some professional knowledge when it sends a high-tech product exhibition to cover a high-tech product exhibition, rather than sending someone like you, who knows almost nothing about this aspect to discredit your newspaper."
As soon as Jester finished saying this, the reporters or players present immediately burst into laughter, Americans have a natural lack of good impression of the Japanese, especially now when the Japanese manufacturing industry counterattacks the United States, and this reporter named Yuyuki Kimura suddenly turned red, he himself didn't expect Jester, the boss of a company, to be so mindless, and directly said such bad things to him in public, he was just about to reprimand him angrily, but was interrupted by Jester first. "To be honest, I don't think the light gun is a very high-tech technology, you can consult any hardware engineer and they will tell you so, we didn't equip our home games with similar peripherals at the beginning, just because we want to focus on making a powerful game console, because whether it is for us or players who are ready to buy a commercial game console, the game console itself is the key, and the peripherals are just auxiliary, if you just show off the peripherals and ignore the ontology, It seems to us that the cart is put before the horse. ”
"Now that we're done with our home consoles, it's natural that we're going to do a lot of peripherals, not just the kid-like light gun that Nintendo showed at their launch event, but what is there, all I can say is stay tuned, in short, our designers have great ideas."
After saying that, Jester no longer wanted to give the Asahi Shimbun reporter a chance to continue to ask questions, and directly asked the host of ceremonies to call the next one.
Because I have ordered several reporters in a row, I have called a few fans of Mars Entertainment in a row, and the questions asked are all about games, which are not difficult to answer, and Jester also smiled and made interesting replies one by one.
However, in the middle of this Q&A session, a man with a short black hair and yellow face, wearing a black suit, hurriedly walked in, he first glanced around, probably looking for a target, and then he walked directly to Jester, who had already sat back in his seat, his face was red, and his eyes were fiercely looking at Jester, who was still muttering something viciously.
Yuyuki Kimura glanced at the man in black, his face changed slightly, and then nodded quietly, and the man in black quietly handed a piece of paper to Yuyuki Kimura, and then left quietly.
It wasn't until after the man in black left that Yuyuki Kimura unfolded the paper ball in his palm, and then his face changed instantly, he first sneered twice, and at the same time, his eyes looked at Jester more and more ill-willed, obviously, on the paper ball handed to him by the man in black just now, there was unfavorable news about Jester.
Because he already had a chance to ask a question, according to the rules, it was impossible for him to get a second time, and the information in his hand was also strong enough, so he didn't care that there was another person asking questions now, but stood up unceremoniously, he didn't have a microphone, and could only shout loudly with all his might.
"Mr. Li, I just got a message here about the simulator you showed at the previous press conference, Nintendo has officially sent you a sternly worded official letter, asking you to apologize and compensate for the infringement of the simulator, is there such a thing?"
Originally, when he stood up suddenly, it caused many people to be dissatisfied, but when he heard such a powerful news, except for the person who was just about to say his problem, everyone else who could hear what he said just now focused their eyes on him.
There was no dissatisfaction in the eyes of these people, only excitement.
Jester also heard the words of the Japanese reporter who had just been satirized by himself, his face changed slightly, it was not strange that Nintendo would send an official letter to him because of the simulator, after all, in the face of his previous provocation, they didn't fight back, it was too cowardly.
It's that he didn't expect Nintendo's speed to be so fast, and before his Q&A meeting was over, their official letter was sent.
If it weren't for the Japanese reporter who said that he himself would not have been notified of the news.
According to the rules of this question and answer meeting, it is natural for the security guard to directly fork out the person who blatantly disrupts the order, but Jester did not plan to do this immediately, he first signaled to give the Japanese reporter a microphone, and then asked the security guard who had already rushed over not to do it for the time being.
In order to make everyone present hear what the Japanese reporter had just said, Jester motioned for him to repeat the previous question.
After the other party finished repeating, Jester shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I haven't received such a message yet, but I can ask, and I don't think this is any kind of infringement, this is the interest of our employees at work, and we don't take the opportunity to make profit at all." ”
After speaking, Jester asked the people around him to call to ask about the situation, and two minutes later, the employee who went out to call and inquire walked back quickly, and whispered a few words in Jester's ear, the voice was so small that no one could hear it except Jester.
The reporters below, as well as others, were all waiting for Jester's answer.
And Jester did not disappoint them, he nodded to the subordinate who went out to inquire to show his gratitude, and then said to the reporters in the audience with an unchanged expression: "This Japanese reporter friend just said that it is indeed true, we have indeed received an official letter from Nintendo Americas. ”
As soon as Jester finished saying this, there was an uproar under the stage, in the United States, infringement is not a trivial matter.
"Then Mr. Li, don't you have anything to say about it?" At this time, the Japanese reporter who had just been ridiculed by Jester suddenly questioned a little triumphantly.
Those present were also waiting for Jester's answer.
Jester didn't answer directly, but just looked at Yuki Kimura with a very strange look, and he asked rhetorically in a very strange tone: "Mr. reporter, are you really a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun?" How did you get the news of Nintendo's official letter before me, the chairman of Mars Entertainment? ”
This question made Yuyuki Kimura a little speechless, he can't say that he was found by Nintendo to dismantle the stage for you.
So he had to bite the nail on the issue of infringement and keep asking Jester, and this was also a question that made the others present more concerned.
In this regard, Jester just smiled disapprovingly, and said in a crisp tone.
"I believe that our country is a country with a legal system, if Nintendo really thinks that it is an infringement for us to make a suing emulator that cannot be used to sell unprofitable emulators, then just go and sue me, I believe that our impartial judge will make the correct judgment on this, otherwise, a qiē defense and mouth cannon are useless, I did this demonstration before, maybe the meaning I expressed at the time was not so clear, I repeat it now, I just want all American players to know, What exactly is Nintendo's game console that is not worth mentioning. ”
"Okay, I'm done, security, please get this gentleman out, such rude and unruly people are not welcome here, are you Japanese all such goods?"
As soon as Jester's words were finished, the audience was in an uproar again. RS
