"You're completely famous this time." At the headquarters of the popular publishing company in Los Angeles, Hayao Nakayama smiled and threw the latest issue of the Wall Street Journal on the table, he spoke Chinese, and Jester on the side heard it very clearly, but Carly, who was sitting next to him, was a little confused.

Jester was also a little surprised that Hayabusa Nakayama, a Japanese man, was so good at Chinese that he could barely hear the Japanese tongue-twisting accent.

Hayao Nakayama also saw Jester's surprise, but he didn't explain.

Since Hayakuo Nakayama understands Chinese, he is also happy to communicate with each other in Chinese, and at the banquet before, Hayao Nakayama's fluent Japanese English really made Jester unaware.

Since they can communicate in Chinese, they don't need a translator.

It's just that Carly on the side can't see it a little clearly, so she doesn't understand Chinese.

Jester picked up the "Wall Street Journal" that Hayabusa Nakayama threw on the table, just glanced at it and smiled bitterly, most of the news reported on it is true, but these media are hateful, and after disrupting and reorganizing most of the true information into their own words, it completely changed the meaning.

The story was accompanied by a photo of Adam Edgar, the now popular vice president of publishing.

According to the Wall Street Journal article, the first person to buy a license plate in dollars for dollars from those who received it was a senior executive of a newly established game publishing company, and the owner of this distribution company and Mars Entertainment is the same person, Jester Lee.

None of the information in this report is false, and the person who wrote this article did not use speculation or inducement to make readers think that the deception of this videotape of Mars Entertainment is a fake.

But it's the kind of reporting that is the most terrifying, and it leaves all readers to make their own judgments. And based on the information they give, the conclusions that can be drawn speak for themselves.

Mars Entertainment cheated.

Led by the Wall Street Journal's article, which was mostly true but had no truth at all, countless newspapers and magazines, large and small, began to criticize Jester for the fraud.

It is said that Jester is trying to deceive the players who trust him into the villain of an Atari collapse.

The momentum is almost a fraction weaker than Henry Stuart's racism.

There are even some people who complain about Henry Stuart, saying that they can be forgiven for such naked deception because they are angry and scolding out ugly words, and this kind of remarks even have some supporters.

Jester was also a little unexpected, who would have thought that Adam Edgar's unintentional actions at that time would plunge his game company into a crisis of confidence almost instantly.

However, it is not possible to explain the situation publicly, and Jester had to spend a lot of money again to have Adam Edgar hold a press conference to explain the situation of the next day, as for the media believe it or not, this is not something Jester can manage.

However, to Jester's relief, many players have spontaneously come to Costa Mesa to cheer on Mars Entertainment.

Jester's eyes even tingled when he saw the players holding up the 'We Believe in You' signs, and he couldn't say anything but thank you to the players who had come to support him.

He was so moved that he wanted to cry.

There are players like this, what more can you ask for?

"Mr. Nakayama, I have a lot of confidence in my game, I have a large number of players who support me, and when the dust settles, every untrue statement will collapse in the face of ironclad facts, you should understand this." Jester put the newspaper in his hand on the table and said to Hayabusa Nakayama without humility or arrogance.

"Okay, let's not talk about these unpleasant topics, I came to the United States this time to complete the previous signing of "American Cubes" with you, and second, to talk to you about the licensing of "Bejeweled", "Zuma", and "Bubble Bobble".

Nakayama Hayao obviously didn't want to continue to talk about this issue, he waved his hand, and then said solemnly with a straight face.

"That's what I mean." Jester nodded, he didn't want to think about this problem that had already made him anxious now, and he couldn't think of any good way to break the game for this kind of method of the other party's overwhelming people, but as long as his trial at the end of the month could be a big success, the rumors that were unfavorable to him would come to an end.

Of course, when formal negotiations began, the two could no longer talk in Chinese, but changed to English, and there was no objection between the two sides about "American Cubes", after all, Yu Suzuki had already discussed with Jester before he went to the United States, but in the negotiations of "Bejeweled", "Zuma", and "Bubble Dragon", the two sides had objections.

"I heard that Mr. Suzuki didn't come this time because he joined the R&D department and is working on a very special game?" Jester asked quietly.

Hearing these words in the ears of Hayao Nakayama, the look on his face remained unchanged, but it made his eyebrows jump sharply, he glanced at Jester deeply, before Suzuki Yu said that Jester was extremely well-informed in Japan, and he still didn't believe it, but this time he believed most of it.

Because Yu Suzuki is indeed leading the development of a very special game now, and it is also the biggest hole card that Sega thinks will be able to fight back next year, which is also the biggest secret of the company, except for himself and Yu Suzuki and the software and hardware engineers who are involved in the development, even the other directors of the company are not very clear about this.

Although Hayao Nakayama believed what Suzuki told him, he wasn't sure if Jester really knew about the game his company was working on.

He was about to deny it, but Jester's next words prevented him from saying the denial.

"I heard that it was a motorcycle game, and the way it was played was very different from the mainstream way we know it now." Jester smiled and uttered the words that silenced Nakayama for five minutes.

Five minutes later, Hayao Nakayama glanced up at Jester, and his tone became extremely unpolite: "Mr. Li, this game is our company's secret, if you want to get the license for this game, then we have nothing to talk about." ”

"No, no, President Nakayama, you misunderstood, I didn't want to get this game, but I wanted the two of us to cooperate." Jester still had a smile on his face and said what he was going to do, "We can license the arcade versions of the three Bejeweled games to you in Japan and Europe for the same price as American Cubes, but only if you agree to send us a hardware development team to work with you on that particular motorcycle game." ”

"This ......" Hayao Nakayama, who originally wanted to say this impossibility directly, just said this, and then seemed to think of something temporarily, and suddenly stopped his words, and did not say the rest of the words.

He just looked at Jester with his sharp sword-like eyes, as if trying to understand what was going on in the other party's heart, but Jester just looked at Hayao Nakayama calmly, with no other expression on his face except a smile.

"Mr. Lee, since you've heard of this game, you should know what it means to us at Sega." Hayao Nakayama didn't see any useful information in Jester's face, so he could only say in a calm voice.

"Of course." Jester nodded.

"Then you should know that it is impossible for me to agree to this condition just by virtue of what you said." Hayao Nakayama continued to speak in a deep voice.

After being silent for a while, Jester also knew that it was impossible to get Sega's technology without bleeding by himself, so he nodded and said bluntly: "Mr. Nakayama, what conditions are needed, you can say it directly." ”

Then Hayabusa's already cold face smiled again, and the fingers of one of his hands on the table kept tapping on the table, and said, "The home console of American Cubes ......"

Unexpectedly, before he could finish speaking, Jester's face changed, and he said categorically: "It's impossible." ”

Hayao Nakayama didn't expect Jester to answer so simply, he really didn't know how much weight the game Sega was developing? If it weren't for the brand new home machine he will launch next year to open the market against the current Nintendo, then even if Jester exchanged ten "American Cubes", he would not have agreed.

Because of this game, it is too important for Sega.

"Mr. Li, if you want real cooperation, you need sincerity." Hayakuo Nakayama's face was gloomy again, he was very dissatisfied with Jester's unhesitating refusal just now, and his tone became a little angry, "Don't keep thinking about things that can take advantage of others, in this world, there is no good thing about pies." ”

In the face of Hayakuo Nakayama's angry accusations, Jester laughed.

"You're looking to generate sales for Sega's new console?" Then, in an extremely bland tone, he stated Nakayama's purpose.

"Yes and what." Although Jester guessed his thoughts, Hayabusa's face did not change in the slightest, and he still had a gloomy face, and said angrily.

"In this way, I promise to launch a game that I personally designed for your new console platform, and I can guarantee that the total sales of this game in Japan will not fall below one million units within a year, and if you can't do it, the home console rights of American Cubes will be given away for free."

Then, Jester smiled and said something that shocked Hayabusa Nakayama.

"What!" Surprised, Hayao Nakayama stood up from his seat, his sharp eyes staring at Jester without blinking, but he still couldn't see anything special as before.

"Is that true?" Suppressing the shock in his heart, Hayao Nakayama even expected to become a little impatient that he had never been able to wait before.

One million games means at least one million home consoles, which is too important for Sega today.

"It can be written into the contract, and if it is breached, the American Cubes will be presented with both hands." Jester leaned back in his chair with his hands behind his head, a smile on his face and a tone of certainty.

"Good!" Hayao Nakayama stared at Jester for a full minute before he spat out the word.

Hearing this word also made Jester's heart relax, and even gave him a faint sense of excitement, he knew how important the arcade game that Sega was developing would be in the future.

But now Jester's heart can be completely let go.

"Hang-On" is here.
