What does it mean for the video game industry?

Jester wanted to say it, but when he saw the faces of the people in front of him who didn't seem to understand what he was talking about, he suddenly had a feeling of playing the piano with a cow, and some ideas only made sense to play with people who were compatible with him, and it was boring to say that he didn't know anything about it.

At this time, Jester suddenly understood the story of the so-called Alpine Flowing Water Boya and Zhongzi Period in the ancient book he had read before.

If you are an experienced game designer and you tell him that he can design games in a 3D world, this is not just an extra dimension in the world, but an infinite number of possibilities.

What he wanted to say, he had basically said it before, and the rest was interrupted like this, and he couldn't think of it for the time being, but it wasn't an important thing, and he had finished talking about it before, so Jester waved his hand and let these designers who were developing the next generation of home machines leave.

He had received a call from Claudia before, but because he was in a meeting with someone from the hardware development department, he told Claudia that he would call him as soon as he was done.

The call was connected, and it was supposed to be night on the British side, but Claudia obviously hadn't slept either, and she had been waiting for Jester's call.

They had already greeted each other on the phone before, so the two didn't talk too much nonsense, and after a few casual jokes, Jester took the initiative to ask, and she called before saying that there was something and what the hell was it.

Claudia smiled, and then said: "Actually, you have been paying my attention to the news about Manchester United, now Manchester United and their new manager are not in a good situation, in the league that just ended, Manchester United lost 0:3, before they lost 1:5 to their rivals in the same city, and now the fans have been extremely dissatisfied with Manchester United, and there are even fans in the stands to play the slogan for their new manager, the arrogant Scotsman......"

Jester is a fan, he was in his previous life, and he is in this life, football is a very fascinating thing, once you like it, you can't extricate yourself, from the previous life, Jester has been a Manchester United fan for at least 20 years, and he has always had a dream that Manchester United will win a Champions Cup in the nineties, don't let Manchester United's king Cantona regret for life.

However, it will certainly not work with the input of Manchester United's chairman Edwards.

Hearing Claudia's words, Jester hesitated for a moment before asking, "So Mr. Edwards, do you have any ideas for selling Manchester United recently?" ”

Hearing Jester ask, Claudia smiled helplessly: "No, Edwards loves Manchester United very much, but Manchester United's results have not been satisfactory over the years, and the best result is the second place brought by the coach who has sat on the crater in his second season, but in the eyes of many people this is just an accident, looking at his recent results, it is simply unsightly, so if someone insists on buying it, then he will not refuse." ”

After Claudia finished speaking, Jester pursed his lips and thought carefully before he said: "We've been talking to Manchester United for three years on the chest advertising contract, and I think we need to renegotiate a new contract with them, so I'd like to meet their manager." ”

The English football system is completely different from other European countries, the British football system is very traditional, their coaches are not called coaches, but managers, coaches in other leagues only need to be responsible for arranging players on the field and arranging tactics, but the coaches of English clubs, or managers, need to consider all the things of a club, including the negotiation of commercial advertisements.

Claudia immediately agreed when she heard it, but she still paused before saying: "England is a very conservative country, and it is very difficult for you to directly buy a team that has always been very traditional in England, even if you offer a very high price, Edwards's old fox may be forced by the pressure of the fans and cannot sell it to you, so if you really want to buy Manchester United, it is better not to tell him yourself, you need an agent." ”

Jester does not deny this, now is not the future, the conservative forces in Britain are very strong, but if you want an agent, then this agent must also be an Englishman, for a while, Jester didn't think of any reliable and suitable candidates, and when he was hesitating, he suddenly heard Claudia on the other end of the phone laugh.

At this time, Jester realized that Claudia herself was not the most suitable candidate?

Thinking of this, Jester also smiled, and he said to the phone: "Let's talk about it first, it's also late for you there, you rest early, I still have some things to deal with here, and I'll go to the UK in a few days, and we'll talk about it then." ”

It's similar to the situation here in the United States, in the Nintendo headquarters in Kyoto, Yamauchi Pu also discussed with Uemura Masayuki about cooperation with Sony, and Yokoi Junpei, another giant of Nintendo's hardware development department, was also there, but he just sat on the sidelines a little blankly, watching Yamauchi Pu discuss with Uemura Masayuki without saying a word.

This made Yamauchi a little dissatisfied, although he had forcibly rejected Yokoi Junhei's construction before, but this was also the reason why they Nintendo did not have two hardware development projects at the same time, after all, their main task was to develop software and maintain their current market share, after all, the pressure on Mars Entertainment's Dreambox for them, whether it was in the American market, the European market, or the Japanese market was too huge.

Once there is negligence, there is a risk of creating signs of collapse in a regional market.

But obviously, Yokoi Junhei's anger at Yamauchi Pu canceling his palm computer project has not been completely lifted, he is not unaware of the current predicament of Nintendo, the reason why he is like this is because the current Nintendo, the current Yamauchi Pu, no longer has the kind of passion and courage he saw at the beginning, the kind of courage that made Arakawa Minoru take all the working capital of the entire company to North America to open up the situation, he has never seen it again.

It's not that Nintendo doesn't have the ability to support two projects at the same time, it's that Yamauchi is afraid.

This is what makes Yokoi Junhei the most dissatisfied.

Yamauchi Pu glanced at Yokoi Junpei with a gloomy face, of course there was a reason for his dissatisfaction, he and Uemura Masayuki were seriously discussing it for the future of Nintendo, but as the number one person in the hardware department, Yokoi Junpei put himself out of the matter like a person who had nothing to do, however, the person in charge of the next-generation console was indeed handed over to Uemura Masayuki, but at that time, your opinion was that I did not agree to abolish the handheld development department, in that case, how could I put such an important thing as the development of the next-generation console, In the hands of people like you, who have a gap in their hearts.

Moreover, if you could take the initiative to say that you could temporarily give up the plan of handheld computer and go all out to develop the next generation of consoles, then this position must also be yours, but you didn't grasp it, and now it makes me embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Yamauchi snorted coldly and expressed his dissatisfaction.

And Yokoi Junhei didn't seem to hear Yamauchi's dissatisfied cold snort, he was still the same as before, but this time he didn't stay silent after all.

"I saw that the president and Minister Kamimura discussed it very reasonably, and said everything I wanted to say, and I have nothing better to build." Yokoi Junhei said this sentence in the most bland tone, and his expression was still as blank as before during the whole process, and he didn't even look at Masayi Uemura, who was sitting next to him and had been looking at him.

Masayuki Uemura is indeed the minister of the second hardware development department, but generally in the hardware department, only Yokoi Junhei will be respected as the minister, unless Masayuki Uemura is in his second hardware development department, otherwise, no one usually calls him a minister, they all call him a senior, this is not Yokoi Junpei's order, but because of Yokoi Junhei's transcendent position in Nintendo's hardware department.

So, when Masayuki Uemura heard his former best friend Yokoi Junhei call himself so, he knew that he hadn't forgiven himself yet, to be honest, he didn't know if he was selfish when he said those words, but he can guarantee one thing, he thinks that sixteen home hosts are much more important than handheld consoles, if one of the two can only be chosen, then it must be sixteen home hosts.

At that time, President Yamauchi's attitude was that it was obviously impossible to carry out two projects at the same time.

He glanced at Yokoi Junhei and wanted to say something, but before he could speak, he heard Yokoi's voice suddenly change, and he didn't know what he thought, and he actually said his own opinion about the cooperation with Sony.

"President Yamauchi, I think what Ken Kutaragi said is very reasonable, our R&D capabilities are not as good as Sega, let alone NEC, even if it is better than Mars Entertainment, we are far behind, if they are dragged into the competition of fighting for power, it will be worth the loss." Saying that, Yokoi Junhei paused for a moment before continuing, "Actually, it shouldn't be us who should be the most nervous now, but our biggest opponent, Mars Entertainment. ”

Hearing Yokoi Junhei say this, Yamauchi Pu had some understanding, he did think about some things wrong, it is true that the addition of Sega and NEC, these two companies that must be based in Japan will definitely be their competitors, but the turmoil caused by the replacement of the host will be most affected, and it must be Mars Entertainment, which now dominates the North American market.

Because upgrading, not only the Japanese market, but the whole world. R1152
