Chapter Forty-Eight: Cheap Memory Tablets (Ask for Recommendation Votes!!) )
Carly Terry is the kind of woman who is not pretty, but has a great temperament, and even if she stands motionless, she can always attract people's eyes like an out-of-body sword.
When Jester drove his Ford Mustang to Los Angeles, he met Carly, who had been waiting for him for a long time, with light makeup on her face, a dark purple evening dress and a few simple accessories.
Jester suddenly discovers that the CEO of his publishing company is not only a strong woman, but also a very charming woman.
She didn't have the pretentiousness of those little girls, and the first thing she said when she saw Jester was not 'Am I pretty today', but "Why are you here so late?" Cause me to wait for more than an hour! ”
Carly grumbled with some exasperation.
Jester could only make a haha, not because he did it on purpose, but because there was a traffic jam on the road.
Looking at the time, it was almost seven o'clock, and the time when the banquet started was seven thirty, there was not much time, but fortunately, the distance was not far, Jester beckoned Carly to get in the car, and then slammed on the accelerator, and the high-powered Ford Mustang roared and roared away.
"I didn't expect you to drive such a bad car, it's better for me to drive it myself!" Sitting in the car, Carly kept teasing Jester.
"I just love this muscle car." Jester pouted disapprerovingly, those flashy sports cars were a mobile coffin in his eyes, and the slightest carelessness would cause the car to be destroyed and killed, how could there be such a heavy muscle car to make people feel at ease.
Named one of the 10 most luxurious hotels in the world, the Presidential Suite was unquestionably equipped with a 12-acre garden, and this time the dinner was also held in the garden.
Hayao Nakayama has a very high position in the Japanese business community, before the acquisition of Sega he was the president of the Esko Trading Agency, and he is also the founder of the Zhongshan Caviar Group.
Jester took Carly and showed the reception staff his invitation card before entering the venue.
The garden has been luxuriously furnished, and the surroundings are as brightly lit as day.
Elaborately dressed waiters shuttled through it from time to time, providing food and drinks to the guests who came to the dinner.
Jester drove all the way, and also felt a little hungry, so he casually took a stack of fragrant meat rolls that had been cooked from the food plates around him, and took a bite casually, the meat rolls that had been peeled as thin as paper almost melted in his mouth, and a rich smell of meat immediately filled his mouth, which immediately made his index finger move.
"The food at the top hotels is also top-notch." Jester finished the stack of meat rolls in his hand that he didn't know what kind of ingredients and how he cooked them, and then picked up another plate with great satisfaction.
Carly looked at Jester with a darkened face, she looked at Jester with some incomprehension, didn't he really know what this dinner party was for?
After solving a few more plates, Jester, who was not so hungry, also noticed Carly's strangeness, and he said with a smile: "I know that this kind of dinner party is mainly social, but you look at these people, they are not the directors of a large group, they are the American leaders of a multinational company, how can a small company like ours be looked down upon by them, rather than taking the initiative to please these people and being looked down upon, it is better to mess with time, and even if I can participate in this banquet, it is only because President Hayato Nakayama sees that we are going to sign a contract with Sega, And I think this contract may not be as simple as just a copy of "American Cubes". ”
The game distribution rights of Mars Entertainment have been handed over to Jester Holdings, and when the Fengxing Publishing Company was established, Jester also authorized the game distribution rights of Mars Entertainment to the Fengxing Publishing Company by the way, so this time it was Fengxing Publishing that signed with Sega, not Mars Entertainment, and Carly, who is the CEO of Fengxing Publishing, is also very clear about the process of this transaction.
"You're saying they still want to license the three Bejeweled games?" Carly said thoughtfully.
"I guess so, Sega is having a hard time right now, their new arcade game may not be released until next year, at least at the end of this year, and if they want to survive this difficult time, one American Cube is not enough for them, and our three new games are good enough, if the price is right, I think Sega will still take it." Jester laughed and uttered his analysis.
Just as Jester was talking to Carly, the protagonist of tonight's dinner, Hayao Nakayama, finally arrived, surrounded by everyone.
He was a middle-aged man who was not tall, with a pair of glasses, and he was somewhat elegant, and he stood at the forefront, saying something to the crowd, he was in Japanese, and Jester didn't understand it very well, but he could still feel a decisive feeling in the tone of the other party, as if it was a clash of gold and iron.
Of course, this may be a psychological reason, and Jester knows that this is an old man who is called Contra.
Contra is a transliteration of Sanskrit, and he means the person with the strongest fighting spirit, and Hayabusa Nakayama is such a person.
He led Sega against Nintendo for half of his life, repeatedly defeated, and did not give up, which can be called a true portrayal of this spirit, in the last three years of his tenure, finally let Sega surpass Nintendo in terms of share, although it was later defeated by Sony, Microsoft, and completely withdrew from the home game console industry, but at that time he had retired due to physical reasons, which can be regarded as a kind of commendatory comfort for his contribution to the entire video game industry.
When he finished speaking, some Japanese people applauded, and then he said a few simple words of thanks in English to let everyone enjoy the dinner.
Jester was a little bored, he really didn't have much interest in this kind of banquet, although there were many beautiful women in it, and there was no shortage of celebrities.
In his mind, it would be much more interesting to continue playing the masochistic "Thunderbolt" in his office.
After a while.
What Jester didn't expect was that Hayabusa Nakayama, the head of Sega, walked straight towards him, stopped in front of him, and he still took the initiative to stretch out his hand.
"Hayao Nakayama."
Hayao Nakayama stood in front of Jester, introducing himself, next to the accompanying staff, Jester didn't see Yu Suzuki, probably didn't accompany him to Japan this time.
Jester hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it with the old man.
Looking at it up close, Hayabusa Nakayama is still a very kind person.
Jester thought.
"If you let Suzuki-kun bring it, I received it, and I'm in good health." Seeing that Jester seemed a little nervous, Hayakuo Nakayama teased a little humorously, and then he looked at Jester and said in a very admiring tone, "I deeply admire Mr. Li's talent in game development. ”
Jester also smiled a little embarrassedly, and said modestly: "Mr. Zhongshan has won the award." ”
Unexpectedly, Hayabusa Nakayama shook his head directly, and his tone became categorical: "I, Hayakuo Nakayama, never say flattering words, and Mr. Li doesn't need to be modest, sometimes, modesty is not a virtue." ”
After finishing speaking, Zhongshan Hayabusa bowed slightly, and said apologetically: "I still have some trivial matters to deal with, Mr. Li enjoy it to the fullest." ”
After that, Hayao Nakayama walked to the other side, surrounded by everyone.
Seeing that Hayayao Nakayama was so polite to a young man who didn't seem to have any background, Jester also attracted the attention of some people.
Not everyone knows who Jester is, and apparently many of you here have heard the news that Mars Entertainment, which has been in the limelight lately, and one of their games has sold $100 million in sales.
Those who know whispered a few words to those who don't know, one to ten, ten to hundred, and it didn't take much time for Jester's identity to be known.
These people only have a trace of curiosity about Jester, but they are only a trace of curiosity, their identities are impossible to take the initiative to hand over Jester, and Jester is not qualified to do so.
It's just a lucky kid who has gone on shit in the game industry.
Nothing to pay attention to.
This is what these people think, and Jester doesn't care about it, he even thinks with some bad taste, you disdain me today, and I will make you unattainable in the future.
However, not absolutely, there are exceptions.
"Hello, Mr. Li." A middle-aged man with a small stature and even a little short came to Jester's side, his face was very square, black-haired, yellow, and his English did not have the kind of Japanese tongue curl, "Under Lee Kun-hee, Gong is the third son of Lee Byung-cheol, chairman of South Korea's Samsung company." ”
"Oh."
Jester just calmly agreed, he had come to this world to see enough celebrities, and he was surprised enough, he had even seen a mythical figure like Sandy Weir, let alone a future three-star president who was not in power yet.
Although this person will personally build Samsung into a huge empire in the future, he is now just a small person who is not worth mentioning in the eyes of these big people at this banquet, just like himself.
However, Jester still asked suspiciously, "Mr. Li, do we know each other?" ”
Li Jianxi smiled a little embarrassedly, and quickly explained: "Mr. Li, I just heard that Your Excellency's company is going to do a game console business, and I think we can have a certain amount of cooperation." ”
This makes Jester feel strange, even in 2014, when Samsung claimed to use electricity, it didn't make game consoles, and there were no rumors about Samsung making game consoles or games in his memory, could it be that the wings of his butterfly had such a big impact that Samsung had to do something they hadn't touched for more than 30 years?
"Don't you Samsung also make game consoles!" Jester's tone became extremely startled.
"No, no, Mr. Li misunderstood." Lee Kun-hee quickly shook his head when he heard Jester's words, and explained to him, "We don't do game consoles, but we do what we need to make game consoles and game cartridges." ”
"Oh?" Jester's expression moved, as if he had thought of something.
Then Li Kunxi glanced around and found that no one was paying attention to them, especially the heads of several Japanese companies who stayed for a while, and then deliberately lowered his voice and said: "For example, memory tablets are much cheaper than the Japanese. ”
I saw a somewhat uncertain expression on Jester's face.
Lee Kun-hee continued categorically: "The quality of our products is definitely not worse than that of the Japanese! ”
