At this time, the phone on Yoshihiko Takado's desk rang. 》

But Takado Yoshihiko just smoked his cigarette by himself, just glanced at the phone that kept ringing, and didn't bother to stand up and answer it.

The phone rang for more than two minutes before it stopped.

However, less than five seconds after the phone stopped ringing, the phone rang again.

When the phone rang for a minute and there was no sign of stopping, this time Takado Yoshihiko couldn't sit still, he stood up from the boss's chair angrily, pressed the cigarette in his hand on the table, grabbed the phone with one hand and yelled directly at the phone.

"He's said many times that don't call my office at this time......"

Before Takado Yoshihiko could finish saying this, he heard an extremely unfamiliar voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Vice President Takado, I am the head of Mars Entertainment Japan Branch, Tamahide Yoshiro, please forgive me for any interruptions." ”

"Mars Entertainment?"

As soon as he heard this name, Takado Yoshihiko's brows furrowed tightly, and he felt a little unhappy, not because New Japan Project was a Nintendo's royalty franchise company and would be approached by Mars Entertainment, but because of two things, one is that he calls himself vice president, and the second is because of Capcom, who moved to Kenzo.

Indeed, he is indeed the vice president of the New Japan Project, and the president is Kawasaki Hideyoshi, but the New Japan Project has been able to develop to this point, in the eyes of Takado Yoshihiko, this is basically his personal credit, as for Kawasaki Hideyoshi, in his eyes, this boxer-born person, in addition to having brute force and muscles. The brain is basically a jar of paste.

Therefore, he was very dissatisfied with others calling him vice president.

Generally, people who are familiar with him will not deliberately touch this mold, and Kawasaki Hideyoshi doesn't care much after knowing it, because compared to Takado Yoshihiko's contribution to the company over the years, he is indeed a dispensable deposit.

Although Yoshihiko Takado is very similar to hanging up the phone after taunting Tamahideyoshiro on the phone, if this was a year and a half ago, the New Japan Project would still be a good thing, or even half a year ago. Before he was faced with this life-and-death dilemma, he might have done so.

But now, after hesitating for a moment, Takado Yoshihiko really didn't say the words that he had prepared for a long time.

He closed his eyes, took a breath, calmed his mood for a moment, and then said into the phone: "I don't know President Yuxiu Yoshiro, is there anything to discuss?" ”

"Huh."

Tamahide Yoshiro on the other end of the phone first chuckled lightly, and then said, "I don't know if Mr. Yoshihiko Takado has time." There are some things I would like to have with you in person. After saying such a simple sentence, Tamahide Yoshiro stopped talking and waited for Yoshihiko Takado's answer.

In fact, the purpose of Tamahide's call to himself. Even if the other party hasn't said it yet, he can guess that it is not far from ten, because the businessman, he himself knows best. Because he is this kind of person, he is unprofitable and can't afford to be early, and now the other party can look at him. When the company is in such a situation, it can only be the game that their company is going to develop.

This game called "Athena", in the eyes of Takado Yoshihiko, is the last big return of the new Japan project, life-saving grass, it is impossible to give up, if it was before, in the face of this kind of down-the-ground behavior, he would definitely refuse unceremoniously and directly, but now, he thinks, it's better to talk about it, look at the other party's opinion, maybe it's a good idea.

He now has a conflict with Kawasaki Hideyoshi about how the company will go next, but he knows that Kawasaki Hideyoshi also wants to treat his own children like his own children for the new Japan project, and if possible, Kawasaki Hideyoshi will not be able to watch his children go bankrupt.

Therefore, he promised Tamahide Yoshiro, and when he agreed on a meeting place, he immediately made a phone call to Kawasaki Hideyoshi.

And after hearing Takado Yoshihiko's statement, Kawasaki Hideyoshi also felt that it was not a good thing to meet Mars Entertainment, so he agreed to Takado Yoshihiko's construction, but after hanging up the phone, Kawasaki Hideyoshi was still a little dissatisfied.

Because anyway, he is also the official president of the New Japan Project, and the other party only knows to call Takado Yoshihiko for such an important matter, and he will not contact him first, he is also very dissatisfied, although he always doesn't care much about specific things, but this feeling of being despised is also very uncomfortable.

If New Japan Project hadn't been in this kind of crisis before, maybe Hideyoshi Kawasaki thought it didn't matter, but now because of the bankruptcy crisis of New Japan Project, he has a-for-tat confrontation with Yoshihiko Takado, and he realizes the need to establish his authority in the company.

If we can survive this crisis this time......

Kawasaki Hideyoshi thought so.

"Mr. Tamahidejiro, I don't like the company you represent." As soon as they met, Takado Yoshihiko didn't want to fall into disadvantage, so he went the opposite way and directly said what he thought in his heart.

However, Yuxiu Yoshiro was not angry, he just smiled: "Dislike is not an obstacle to our conversation, you see, aren't you sitting in this place with me?" It shows that there are still topics to talk about between us. ”

Takado Yoshihiko did not deny it, after he sat down, he ordered a cup of coffee from the waiter, and then said: "I don't think I need to say anything more about the situation of the new Japan project, since you found me, I must know a lot about it, although I have some guesses, but I still hope to be able to get a definite answer from you, what exactly are you for." ”

"There's really nothing to hide about this question." Tamahideyoshiro doesn't beat around the bush when he speaks, just as straightforward.

"We've heard about your company, and now you have a game development project that needs to be solved, and while it's a bit unethical, I'll say that I got a small part of the game from some other sources, and I read it and sent it to the U.S. headquarters. Mr. Li also attached great importance to it after reading it, and he asked me to come and discuss this matter with you. Mr. Lee, I don't want to see such a great game just give up. ”

Yuxiu Yoshiro's tone was very light, but from his words, I couldn't hear anything about his state of mind at this time.

Yoshihiko Takado frowned when he heard Tamahideyoshiro's statement, he didn't believe much in the so-called Jester. Lee valued the statement, but he was sure that Tamahideyoshiro was interested in their new game, so after a moment of deliberation, he tentatively spoke.

"Mr. Tamahideyoshiro, you know, we are Nintendo's royalty franchisee, we have signed an agreement with them, if we reneg on the agreement......"

Before Takado Yoshihiko could finish speaking, his words were unceremoniously interrupted by Tamahide Yoshiro.

Tamahide Yoshiro withdrew the smile on his face at this time, and he said: "Mr. Yoshihiko Takado, I know that you have some contradictions with Kenzo before moving to Kenzo, and I have no intention of resolving them, but I still want to tell you about Capcom as an example at this time, and tell you about the development after he left Nintendo's camp and joined us......"

Hearing Tamahideyoshiro talk about Kenzo Mimoto, Yoshihiko Takado instinctively frowned, although he didn't want to admit that the reason why he and Hideyoshi Kawasaki set up the New Japan Project in the first place was to prove that he was much stronger than Kenzo Mimoto.

It's a pity that the development tracks of these two companies, both in terms of R&D direction and game style, are very similar, but they are completely different, at the beginning, there is no doubt that the new Japan project occupies an absolute advantage, but with Capcom joining the camp of Mars Entertainment, the gap between the two sides is getting wider and wider.

Capcom is now the leading third-party developer under the Dreambox platform, and its new Japan project is only one step away from bankruptcy.

Hearing Tamahideyoshiro say that Capcom, who had moved to Kenzo for a long time, Yoshihiko Takado, who had been a little bored for a long time, immediately said in a puzzled tone: "Do you mean that if we join you and leave Nintendo's royalty camp, we can get the same treatment as Capcom?" ”

"Huh." Tamahide Yoshiro looked at the somewhat whimsical Takado Yoshihiko with the same eyes as looking at SB, and he said in a mocking tone, "Do you think that we are Kaizendo?" ”

Provoked by this rhetorical question from Tamahide Yoshiro, the anger in Takado Yoshihiko's eyes flashed, and he had a gloomy face, holding back his anger, and asked, "Then what does Your Excellency mean?" Want us to join you but only give us the same harsh treatment as we did at Nintendo? So if that's the case, I don't think there's much more to talk about between us! Rather than that, we might as well stay under Nintendo. ”

"Of course not."

Yuxiu Yoshiro said quietly, "Our system is completely different from Nintendo's harsh royalties, what kind of treatment you can get, it all depends on the results of the games you make, if the sales are high, naturally this game will enjoy the biggest discount, if the sales are low, then I'm sorry, the high treatment on this game is naturally not." ”

Takado Yoshihiko was not satisfied with Tamahide Yoshiro's answer, because the other party still didn't say how they were going to cooperate with him this time, especially about the cooperation on the "Athena" project.

So, he asked directly.

"So, what about our Athena?" (To be continued......) R752
