25 April, Tokyo.

Namco Co., Ltd., Masaya Nakamura came to the office early. Humming a Japanese folk song that I hadn't sung for a long time, I sat down leisurely.

He is in a very good mood, Namco has set up a $50 million super masterpiece this year, which is also an RPG, intending to follow the pace of the flag on his head and ask for directions first. Moreover, the Qin Dynasty immediately sent a commissioner to guide how to produce high-precision CG, which is a treatment that no other company except Square Enix has.

Moreover...... The Qin Dynasty is seeking to go public, and according to his understanding, the situation is very optimistic, and a set of combination punches in early April has made several large players pay attention to this oriental company. If this kind of step continues, once the Qin Dynasty goes public, they will also get a lot of benefits.

His office is modest, but every day before he arrives, his desk is covered with today's electronic newspapers and important Japanese newspapers, and a television is placed across from his desk. He didn't immediately read the newspaper, but leisurely sipped his tea.

He was complacent, and Japan's economic crisis really didn't cause any harm to the companies under the Qin Dynasty. This year, following the east wind on the other side of Yunhe Mountain, Pac-Man's sale at the end of March sold a million sets of surprise numbers, although it can't be compared with the monster on the other side of Yunhe Mountain, but in just one week, tens of millions of net profits, plus the sale of several large copyrights. He is very confident: as long as he follows the Qin Dynasty and is optimistic about Longteng, this economic crisis is not so terrible.

Presumably, Square Enix's Wada-kun thinks so too...... Feeling the warm tea in his mouth, the fragrance of tea could even diffuse through his nose, and the wrinkles on his old face were relaxed, and he sighed: "Good tea." ”

Putting down the teacup, he unfolded the newspaper on the table.

Humming a little song gently, he swept the front page of the Fuji newspaper, and couldn't help but let out a sneer in his mouth: "These politicians, Toshiki Umibe's land law dispute has been fruitless for several months, and now they still have headlines on the front page?" Seibu Group relented? What a bunch of beam-jumping clowns. ”

He continued to look, but, at first glance, his smile froze.

He thought he had seen it wrong, and when he looked at it again, there was a "snap", and his big hand opened all five fingers, and slammed it on the table, and the person stood up suddenly, looking around in astonishment, as if there was an invisible demon around him. His chest heaved so badly that he sat back down after a few seconds.

What's going on!?

He stared at it again, yes...... That's right, you read that right!

The Qin Dynasty and the Mitsui Consortium made a VAM agreement! Borrow 20 billion! These 20 billion have gone to lay servers around the world?!

Namco doesn't have servers, but he knows that Nintendo, Sega have them! The Qin Dynasty should also have an internal server! Small and medium-sized companies cannot afford the maintenance and construction costs of servers, however, he knows very well that servers can't make money!

The server is stored with the company's data, how can this data be sold to others! In other words, the company gritted its teeth and had to bear the money!

He felt a chill in his hands, a company, tens of thousands of dollars in maintenance costs...... So...... What about a country?

A continent!

His heart fell to the bottom in an instant, he never thought that he would see such bad news early this morning! And it's a bet against the Mitsui consortium! He's not going to die!

There was some cramping in his heart, and he immediately took out a few pills from his jacket and ate them, his hands trembled a little, and he reopened the newspaper.

He still doesn't believe it! Still don't believe that the Qin Dynasty would make such a choice!

"On the pros and cons of investment - there may be network profits and pitfalls."

"The Internet has been developing for more than ten years, and it is slowly infiltrating and integrating into everyone's life little by little. However, it has not been able to usher in vigorous development. Why? Because there is a serious refutation in this. ”

"The network needs the support of servers, and the server needs to be set up with hundreds of millions of dollars. Who pays for this money? It will not be the government, but the major enterprises responsible for laying the network to spend. However, how does the web make money? At present, the known method is to recover funds through server rental. Among them, there may be business opportunities, but they have not been found in the past ten years of development. The money from the lease is not even enough to maintain the network! ”

"The Qin Dynasty, at a press conference held in Shanghai yesterday, spent $16 billion to build a global server. This was nothing, but the total assets of the Qin Dynasty plus the brand were only 5 billion, and the VAM agreement with the Mitsui Group borrowed 20 billion US dollars for a period of five years. However, the Qin Dynasty is facing a listing, and I would like to ask, how can he recover 20 billion funds in five years? With a drop in the bucket of server rentals? Amusing. ”

"If there is a huge deficit in this year's Qin Dynasty schedule, Mitsui Bank will immediately pursue the loan – a clause in the VAM agreement between Qin Dynasty and Mitsui Bank. Even if the gap is not large, but how many years from now? What about when a server is about to upgrade? They are faced with a dilemma: should they sell the server to pay off their debts, or should they hand over their efforts to Mitsui Bank? ”

"Brush ......" he slammed the newspaper shut, clenching his eyes in pain as he saw ...... I saw the signature: Takuya Aso, a professor at the University of Tokyo.

The name...... The name made his eyelids jump.

The name is not surprising, but behind this name, the weight represented is the Taishan Beidou of the Japanese computer industry and the network industry!

University of Tokyo ...... There is a monster inside, Hitachi supercomputer Hitachi SR2201/1024, one of the most developed supercomputers in the world at present, the strongest brain composed of computers in more than ten rooms, right there!

Takuya Aso is the business director of HitachiSR2201/1024!

His words basically finalized the conclusion of whether the server can be profitable. Hitachi supercomputers are not profitable, billions or even tens of billions of yen are posted every year! This is still the case of the entire Asia-Pacific top company leasing loan! How can you make a profit from a global server that is thousands of times behind!

Masaya Nakamura stroked his forehead and his temples beat hard!

How so!

It's only been one night, how did the world change so dramatically?! Why did the VAM agreement even stand up to the supercomputing manager? How could this matter inexplicably attract the attention of so many people?

Qin Jun...... How do you let our third parties deal with themselves? You don't need us anymore!

By the time he woke up from his anger, the newspaper in his hand had been crumpled into a crumpled ball of paper. The next second, he immediately picked up the phone and frantically began to call the number that he already knew by heart.

"Hello, Mr. Nakamura." The one who answered the phone was an assistant: "Qin Dong has not seen a guest recently, and he specially told us if a third party calls." Please be sure to pass it on to you, this is a great opportunity, and every penny of the Qin Dynasty has been spent where it should be spent, and it will never let down the third party. Please believe in the Qin Dynasty. ”

Nakamura didn't know what he was saying, and after putting down the phone, he slumped in his seat.

Believe...... Hehe...... I believe in you...... But could the Qin Dynasty's understanding of the network surpass that of supercomputer masters? How much did others go first? The business circle of supercomputers can't support themselves, what subsidies do you rely on?!

The "jingle bell" phone rang again, he picked up the phone, and Yo Wada forced a shocked voice to come: "Nakamura-kun, have you seen it?" ”

"If you're talking about today's newspaper, I saw it." Nakamura Masaya gritted his teeth and said, "Wada-kun...... What do you think? ”

"Don't worry what I think!" Yoyo Wada's anxious voice changed tone: "Turn on the TV!" Drive to NHK one! Right now! ”

Masaya Nakamura immediately turned on the TV, but the picture that appeared on it made him cold from head to toe!

"I can't say that there is a problem with Qin Jun's investment. Perhaps, he did see a monetization opportunity in the network. I'm just saying that as Sony's technical director, Sony set up the company's servers even at the end of '88. We don't see any profitable opportunities. ”

On the TV, a man with glasses wearing a badge of "Kobayakawa Man" on his chest calmly said to the camera: "Sony's servers were originally built on Japanese supercomputers, and what we left behind is Sony's record history, several years, a whole room of floppy disks. If you are willing to sell your company's secrets, these things are indeed very valuable, billions of dollars. But, is it possible? ”

"The global server and the global network have only been connected for a month or two, but the Qin Dynasty asserts that there is a huge business opportunity in it, and this business opportunity is at least more than 10 billion. Forgive us Kyocera for being stupid, we didn't see any opportunities in it. A shareholder of Kyocera said implicitly, "Because of the huge computing business, Kyocera and Todai Supercomputer Affairs Department have been working together for a long time. Tens of millions of dollars in rental costs are just as much as the maintenance costs of Hitachi SR2201/1024. And there are only a handful of companies in the world that are willing to pay tens of millions of rental fees. Will they take a fancy to the Qin Dynasty's $100 million server? ”

The implication is that it's a good thing that the server can earn back maintenance fees! How much does it cost?

Hehehe...... It's not dawn yet.

"I don't agree with a global investment server. The Qin Dynasty is not small, but it is still too small compared to companies like Sony, IBM, and Intel, which are the pioneers of the Internet. Neither in terms of capital nor popularity, these companies have not built a global server, precisely because the server consumption is too large, and the future is unknown. The Qin Dynasty's move was too inconsiderate. A shareholder of the Toshiba Group said leisurely to the camera.

"I am not optimistic about Qin Jun's investment this time, and I firmly believe that it will drag down the good situation of the Qin Dynasty's listing." Epson, a supervisor made the same statement.

Masaya Nakamura's hands were clenched together, how could he not understand when he saw this?

Nigi will ...... The part of the Mitsui consortium that belongs to the electronics industry has finally started.

Maybe they didn't want to do it, but the interest negotiations from the Mitsui consortium made them nod.

His lips were trembling, and in Japan, he knew too well the power of the Nigi Society, and these companies ...... Sony, Kyocera, Toshiba, Epson...... Maybe add Hitachi, Panasonic, this is the situation of monopolizing Asia!

These words...... If it comes out of the mouths of these giants, it will inevitably drift across the ocean, forming a whirlpool of public opinion centered on Asia......

This is to cut off the last expectation of those big families from the root! Knock the Qin Dynasty into a hell from which there will be no return!

Black clouds crush the city...... The storm is coming. The first wave of the Mitsui consortium's attack, carrying the public opinion of the whole of Japan, like a tide, quietly formed a dark hand and strangled the throat of the Qin Dynasty!
