On the other end of the line was Sid. Mel, who also doesn't know Sid. Mel replied with something, but it was clear from the slightly satisfied look on Jester's face that Sid. Mel's answer should have satisfied him.

After talking on the phone, Jester casually flipped through the architecture of "Age of Empires" that he had just completed a few days ago, and some of the things in it were written by himself according to the RTS games of later generations, and then used the current hardware conditions as a reference.

I flipped through it in general, and found no mistakes or omissions, so I closed the text and threw it aside.

I looked down at the watch on my wrist again, the time was about the same, Jester also planned to attend tonight, Kazuo Hirai's dinner, as the boss of Mars Entertainment, Jester was naturally invited, of course, Jester also casually asked, did you invite Nintendo and Sega.

In this regard, to deliver the invitation letter|excellent|excellent|small|say|more|new|most|fast|www.|The Sony employee just smiled and quickly replied: "Sega's is on the invitation list, but Nintendo's is not." ”

In fact, Jester's willingness to attend Kazuo Hirai's dinner today, in addition to giving Sony a face, he still wanted to discuss something else with Sony-before this year, Jester had an idea of establishing a game association and a game show.

However, because of the delay caused by many things, I want to take this opportunity to talk to Sony and Sega about this matter.

He had contacted some game developers in the United States, such as EA, Xuele Mountain, Weizhen, etc., and they were still quite interested in this mentions, not only about the professional game show that Jester said. After all, every year they go to the consumer electronics exhibition, such an exhibition based on electrical appliances, there is always a feeling of being under the fence.

In fact, these companies have organized several small dedicated game exhibitions on their own. But it didn't come to be, and now Jester wants to take the lead in organizing an all-American one. Naturally, they raised their hands in welcome.

And Jester wants something much bigger than them, and Jester wants to do not only the United States or North America, but also Europe and Japan, plus North American game shows.

Things in Europe are easy to do, Jester asked Claudia to do this before, and the first few times Jester talked to Claudia on the phone, Claudia also said that it went very smoothly, and Europe basically has a little influence on game development companies. They were all very interested in Jester's mention.

The only thing to worry about is Japan, where its influence is not big enough to guarantee that the vast majority of game developers will participate.

Moreover, because of his relationship with Nintendo, Jester estimates that if this event is organized by himself, then Nintendo will definitely not participate, just like they refuse to participate in the Japan Arcade Association, but if he can convince Sega, plus although he has only just joined the game industry. But Sony, which has a great influence in Japan.

With the consent of these two, then even if Nintendo is thrown aside, then this thing can be done.

And. Not to talk about the relationship between Sega and Nintendo, just looking at the relationship between Sony and Nintendo, Jester knows that his idea is still easy to realize.

Kazuo Hirai's banquet was held in the banquet hall of a five-star hotel in Los Angeles, and he held it in his capacity as vice president and head of marketing department of Sony Computer Entertainment North America.

Banquets are very formulaic, and Jester has never had much interest in this kind of formulaic banquets. That's why he doesn't usually attend any banquets, if it weren't for the fact that this time there was something he really needed to talk to Hisao Koguchi. And Kazuo Hirai discussed, so it's like this kind of banquet. Jester won't be in attendance.

And Kazuo Hirai has obviously been his biggest opponent in the future, Mars Entertainment and the controller of Mars Entertainment, Jester. Lee has had a very in-depth investigation into Jester. Li has always disliked the habit of attending this kind of banquet, and it is also clear that although he sent an invitation to Jester, in fact, he is not very hopeful that Jester will participate.

However, to his surprise, before the dinner began, he received the rule of his subordinates, and Jester had already arrived at the banquet site, which greatly surprised Kazuo Hirai.

And Jester, even if he participated in this banquet, was sitting alone in the corner and drinking, although he came to Hirai Kazuo today to discuss something, but he couldn't show Xiàn too initiative, and with his understanding of Hirai Kazuo, coupled with the situation Sony is in now, Jester also concluded that Hirai Kazuo would definitely come to him.

Sure enough, after Kazuo Hirai finished speaking, announcing the start of the banquet, how long has it been in the United States, Kazuo Hirai walked in the direction where Jester was with a smile on his face.

And to Jester's surprise, it was Hisao Koguchi who came with him.

Jester also stood up, took the initiative to meet him, and shook the hand of Kazuo Hirai, who had already stretched out his hand, after the two let go of their hands, Jester turned his head to look at Hisao Koguchi, the competition between the two companies was extremely fierce before, and Hisao Koguchi's previous price reduction strategy was aimed at Mars Entertainment, so he met Jester. Li, it's still a little embarrassing.

The smile on Jester's face remained the same, though, and after he withdrew his palm from Kazuo Hirai, he reached out to Hisao Koguchi.

"Mr. Koguchi, I am impressed by your ability and vision." Jester said something heartfelt in the end, after all, the previous family's price reduction strategy caused him great trouble, even now, this trouble still exists, the price factor, like a lasso, may be re-hung on his neck at any time.

Although Jester's words were praised, there were still some thorns in them, and Hisao Koguchi was also a smart person, of course he could hear it, but this scene was not suitable for him to refute Jester's words, so he just smiled and didn't answer.

Three people chat, as long as one of them really wants to talk, then they can quickly enter the state.

In a few words, Jester talked about his special world game show, and Sega, represented by Hisao Oguchi, and Sony, represented by Kazuo Hirai, were naturally very interested in the topic that Jester talked about, and this kind of topic is only qualified to talk about Jester and Mars Entertainment.

Jester sighed deliberately, pretending to be a little depressed and said: "Actually, it was a very good thing for the industry, I have basically negotiated between the major game companies in North America and the game companies in Europe, and they all said that this is a good thing, but the Japanese side is ......?"

Jester didn't say anything about the Japanese side, but Hisao Koguchi and Kazuo Hirai were both heroes, so they naturally heard Jester's meaning.

"Nintendo disagrees?"

Hisao Koguchi asked out loud, he knew the contradiction between his boss Hayao Nakayama and Pu Yamauchi, so he didn't have a good impression of Nintendo, so, after Jester finished speaking, he immediately thought of Nintendo, and besides, there was nothing more suitable for this matter besides Nintendo.

Jester didn't say anything, just nodded quietly.

"My plan is to set up an association composed of our game companies, even to organize this thing, and we had better set a standard for future games, just like the censorship system for movies, there are too many games now, it is too bottomless."

Hearing Jester's words, Hisao Koguchi and Kazuo Hirai both nodded, Kazuo Hirai may have only read the information about this, but Hisao Koguchi knows more deeply, because the current game market is very chaotic, and all kinds of uncontrolled games are flooded on the market, even if it is Sega's platform, there are a lot of them, not to mention the most widespread PC platform.

Therefore, many media, many officials and even many parents now hate these game development companies.

Kazuo Hirai didn't say anything, it seems that he has been thinking about something after Jester spoke, and only after Hisao Koguchi expressed his support for Jester's two mentions did he take the initiative to say: "I think that if Nintendo doesn't want to set up an organization with us to regulate the game industry, then we can set it up ourselves." ”

In this sentence, Kazuo Hirai used us, and after hearing him talk about us, Jester and Hisao Koguchi's eyes flashed with a hint of discoloration.

However, Jester smiled: "I haven't talked about this matter with your headquarters, if you are really interested in this, please inform your respective headquarters, I personally hope to be able to hold a special worldwide game exhibition within the year." ”

Formulating rules is Sony's favorite thing to do, and even the headquarters agreed to join the video game market to fight, more because of the right to speak on the CD-ROM standard, Kazuo Hirai knows, he only needs to mention the so-called World Video Game Association mentioned by Jester to the headquarters, and the headquarters will definitely agree to it as soon as possible.

Moreover, as for Jester's question that he and Nintendo did not negotiate, I am afraid it is not as he said.

Because even if Nintendo's grudge with Mars Entertainment is deep, he will not give up this opportunity to make rules in the game industry, the biggest possibility is that Jester only said about the game show, but not about the world video game association.
