"I want to succeed."

As soon as Hisao Koguchi finished speaking, Hayao Nakayama took the initiative to speak, and he looked at the young man who was talking with some appreciation.

"You're not alone in this approach."

Hayao Nakayama continued, with a smile on his face and a gentle demeanor.

"About nine or ten years ago, when Atari was still the hegemon of the video game industry, and their consoles swept the world, not only in the United States, Canada, Europe, but even in Japan, they didn't have the slightest resistance, and their research on video games was too far ahead of us."

"At that time, many companies were interested in Atari's profits, so they imitated their game consoles, and at that time there was no software patent law, which was only passed in the 80s, so they were unscrupulous to imitate their games to make zuò games, and Nintendo cooperated with Panasonic to produce a home console at this time."

"This host of theirs, using the kind you said, sells it at a price lower than the cost, and after occupying the platform share, it relies on the game to recover the previous losses."

After speaking, Hayao Nakayama was still smiling, he looked at Hisao Koguchi and asked, "Have you heard of this?" Do you know what happened to Nintendo?" This matter is too long, and Hisao Koguchi may not be twenty years old at the time, and it doesn't look like the future at this time, so you can get it by searching for all kinds of cases.

Therefore, when Hisao Koguchi heard Hayakuo Nakayama talk about this incident, he was also surprised, because he really hadn't heard of it.

Moreover, although he had not heard of it, he could analyze it. The analysis process is also very simple, he has not heard of Nintendo's achievements in home games before Nintendo's FC. That's pretty straightforward.

In other words, Nintendo's original plan - failed.

After hearing this case of Hayabusa Nakayama. Although Hayao Nakayama's face was gentle and his smile was not cold, in Hisao Koguchi's opinion, it was more unbearable and unacceptable than the angry shouts he had named before.

He opened his mouth to say something, but he couldn't say a word.

But Hayao Nakayama laughed. He waved his hand and signaled the other party not to be nervous: "I'm just joking, not disagreeing with your opinion."

With that, Hayao Nakayama continued to talk about the follow-up of this incident about Nintendo.

"Many of you here have actually heard of this matter, but I want to say in detail that this plan was successful at the beginning, and Nintendo's sales at this below-cost production price sold two or three hundred thousand units in a very short period of time, and now two or three hundred thousand units may not be nothing. But at the time, it was a remarkable number."

"However, because it was sold too fast. Nintendo's capital turnover remains the same, after all, if you sell game consoles in this way, you will lose money if you sell one more, and most of their games at that time were made after other people's, and they lacked the means of self-development, so the sales were not high."

"That's why they failed."

But the funniest thing is that after this incident, the devastated Nintendo actually made an incredible decision, that is. Yamauchi actually made a rule that Nintendo sells every piece of hardware. All have to be profitable."

"In my opinion, this is too rigid. I don't know how to be flexible."

After Hayao Nakayama briefly brought up this old matter, the faces of all the people present became clear, if they saw Hayao Nakayama say this, and did not know what he thought, these people would not be qualified to become the director of Sega, and sit here for a meeting.

"I think Hisao Oguchi's proposal is very good, if it weren't for his body reminding me, I might not be able to remember this old Nintendo thing, which is very valuable for us."

Hayao's tone was extremely confident: "What I'm most worried about now is the influence of Mars Entertainment, as for the development ability of the game, I am not worried, our Sega's game development ability is as strong, and we can make games that players are welcome to like and are willing to buy, and our financial resources are not comparable to Nintendo back then."

In this era, the leaders of Nintendo and Sega, the two most famous and powerful game companies in Japan, are very tough, and the decisions they made are basically not opposed by anyone within the company, not to mention, this time this decision is even more reasonable and convincing.

The command of the meeting was dismissed, and Hayakuo Nakayama asked Hisao Koguchi to wait a little.

After waiting for everyone to leave, in the conference room, only Hayao Nakayama and Hisao Koguchi were left, and Hisao Koguchi looked at Hayao Nakayama a little unclearly, his president, and didn't know what happened to his president left alone.

And in the eyes of Hayabusa Nakayama, there were flashes of approval from time to time.

"Xiaokou, if I let you pass away and let you be in charge of the sales of our hosts, do you have the confidence to do a good job?" Hayao Nakayama asked in a consultative tone.

Hisao Koguchi's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Hayao Nakayama's words, he didn't understand why his president would ask him so much, he stretched out his finger and pointed at himself, and said with some embarrassment: "President, but I'm a developer, not an administrator......"

But before Hisao Koguchi finished speaking, Hayao Nakayama smiled and posed. [,！ Waving his hand, he said indifferently: "It's not necessarily in any department, we are not a few people who change positions at any time within Sega, Yu Suzuki used to be an administrator, but now he is engaged in game development."

Yu Suzuki is now the soul of Sega game development, hailed by countless game newspapers and magazines as one of the two best game developers in Japan, along with Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto, and even in the United States, except for Jester. Lee's position is recognized as unassailable, and Yu Suzuki often appears in second place.

Even Jester has talked about it on different occasions, and his favorite Japanese designer is Hiroshi Suzuki.

As a member of Sega's game development department, Hisao Koguchi naturally has great respect for his immediate boss, especially after working with him in development, he is even more admired for Suzuki Yu's talent.

Therefore, when he heard Hayao Nakayama compare him to Yu Suzuki, Hisao Koguchi hurriedly waved his hand modestly and said, "My talent is shallow, how can I be qualified to compare with Yu Suzuki's predecessors."

"Let's not talk about that."

Hayao Nakayama also felt that the topic was a bit far, and quickly began to change the topic, in fact, he didn't think that Hisao Koguchi could be compared to Yu Suzuki, but Yu Suzuki didn't have the slightest interest in administrative work, and the only thing he was interested in was game development.

Originally, Yu Suzuki was the most optimistic successor to Hayao Nakayama, but he had no intention of doing this, and of course Hayao Nakayama couldn't force it.

And now he saw Hisao Koguchi again, in fact, according to Hisao Koguchi's status, he was not qualified to attend this meeting, but because Yu Suzuki had recently encountered a bottleneck problem in a game that was being developed, Yu Suzuki really didn't have time to return to the headquarters from the development center, so he entrusted Hisao Koguchi to take him to this meeting.

Nakayama Hayabusa's answer to Hisao Koguchi's just now, he carefully observed it, and found that this young man is a rare talent with strategic vision, and he can look at the problem from the overall picture, rather than just from a one-sided view, which is very important for a Sega company that aspires to become the best game company in the world.

So, Hayao Nakayama had an idea of wanting to cultivate it.

"Do you want to work in administration?" Hayao Nakayama pulled the problem back on track, and this time there were no fancy questions, but straight to the heart.

Hisao Koguchi originally wanted to say that he didn't want to, because now he has a half-done development project in his hands, and if he leaves at this time, then this project will definitely extend the research and development time, but he also knows that such an opportunity is extremely rare, because he is willing to engage in administrative work.

"What are you worried about?"

The experienced Hayabusa Nakayama immediately caught something from Hisao Koguchi's hesitation, and with this kind of demeanor, he could certainly make a reasonable judgment about his subordinates' thoughts in an instant - hesitation is not that he doesn't want it, but that there is something unspeakable.

Seeing Hayakuo Nakayama asking, Hisao Koguchi said his worries one by one.

After hearing Hisao Koguchi's words, the look of satisfaction on Hayakuo Nakayama's face became more and more prosperous, he smiled, waved his hand, and said: "According to reason, I should let you finish the work at hand first, but, time waits for no one now, it is less than a month away from the launch time of their game console announced by Mars Entertainment, compared to this matter, your current job is irrelevant, sometimes, you have to make a trade-off, I can only give you some advice, and not to help you make a decision."

"Go to the United States, or complete your current work, you can choose for yourself, I will wait for you for a day, if you make a choice, you can come to me at any time."

Hayao Nakayama said the above with a light smile, and then encouraged Hisao Koguchi a few more words, and let him leave first.

And Hayao Nakayama looked at the background of Hisao Koguchi's departure, but fell into a blind thought, and his mind once again came to the picture of Hisao Koguchi's tongue fighting Confucianism at the meeting just now, which couldn't help but remind him of himself when he was young.

"Young and fearless, ......" (to be continued)
