All kinds of languages, intertwined here, colorful journalists, filled with Caucasians, yellows, and even a few rare blacks, form a vast flow of people. Thirty or forty people are on the second floor of the spacious Kempinski Hotel, which is not crowded in itself, but if you count the cameramen, photographers and so on brought by reporters...... There were nearly 100 people, tripods of various colors, and cameras...... It makes this floor seem less wide.
At the surrounding dining tables, fellow reporters sat around in twos and threes, constantly exchanging experiences in various Chinese languages, and their faces were full of excitement.
"Editor-in-Chief Takayama." On a dining table, several coffees were placed in a staggered manner, and a slightly chubby middle-aged woman bowed respectfully to the man opposite: "Contemptible Oda Suzumi." Can I sit here? β
"It turned out to be the editor-in-chief of Oda who criticized the game, and I welcomed it." At Gao Shan's table, there were already three people seated, and they all moved their positions one after another. Gao Shan smiled and pointed to the back: "However, is the venue of your society occupied?" This is the Qin Dynasty's press conference. β
"I'm tired of it." Oda Suzumi smiled and bowed: "It's Suzumi's honor to be able to discuss with the editor-in-chief of FamItsu. β
"Game criticism is also a very professional magazine, we just go in different directions, FamI is just a few years earlier, why should Oda Hime be presumptuous." Takayama was obviously very happy to receive such a hand. smiled and poured each other a cup of coffee: "We were still talking just now, Sega just held a press conference an hour ago to announce that it would part ways with the Qin Dynasty Company, which has been cooperating for nearly two years. How many people are sorry...... Everyone thought that if the first party of the two families closed the door to the Qin Dynasty, the Qin Dynasty would be in a state of collapse. Didn't expect ......"
"I didn't expect them to announce a one-hour press conference at Kempinski immediately after the Segabo meeting." A man next to him took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile: "The meaning of-for-tat is really heavy...... What does Oda Hime think? β
Oda Suzumi thought about it, but her expression became cautious. With the status of men in Japan much higher than that of women, she bowed slightly again before speaking: "Before he became the editor-in-chief of game criticism, he used to be a news writer for Fuji Television. For this briefing, my focus is a little different. β
"Oh? How so? β
Oda Suzumi's eyes flashed, her voice was a little quieter, she stretched her neck forward, lowered her voice and said, "Aren't you all here...... Is it a bit abnormal to have too many reporters? β
"Not much?" A few people at the table frowned and looked around: "We just finished attending the Segaga meeting, and we received an order from above. Let's attend the press conference of the Qin Dynasty. Segabo people are about the same ......."
"But that's Sega! It's the first party! Oda Suzumi said categorically: "Which third party has held a press conference?" Because they know that once they meet, no one will come. It's like a TV show, Sony, Panasonic they make a new TV, they open a new product, they will hold a press conference, but who cares what programs come with this TV? Players will care, what about journalists? β
She looked at the mountain that was a little clear: "Will you?" β
Takayama shook his head.
She looked at the other person again: "What about the pestle-kun?" β
"Neither will I."
"Yes, it won't." Oda Suzumi nodded: "Because I won't either." β
"Why are so many people coming?"
"You mean...... Could there be a driving force behind this fair? Gao Shan asked tentatively, frowning.
"It's not possible, it's definitely there!" Oda Suzumi bit her lip and said firmly, "I want to know who this pusher is now...... To be able to invite so many reporters, the network is really wide......"
The same discussion was going on at various tables, and the Qin Dynasty's meeting aroused their interest before it began.
"Hey...... Mr. Nakahashi. Long time no see. A foreigner smiled at a reporter who walked by with a camera. The Japanese reporter was looking at the hotel that had been surrounded with a lot of water, except for the huge banner of the "Qin Dynasty Press Briefing" directly above and the cute panda on the top, he could only see a vast black human head.
Hearing the shout, he looked back sadly, but laughed: "Mr. Leos, it's been a long time. β
"Oh, Mr. Zhongqiao, you're too late." Leos patted the chair next to him: "Sit down and have two drinks?" β
Zhongqiao shook his head again and again: "No, I still have to find a place, there is a traffic jam on the road...... Hey, the traffic in Tokyo ......."
"Mr. Nakahashi, if you don't mind, you can sit next to me. Now, let's sit down and have a couple of drinks. Leos laughed, "So, we're talking about some interesting topics here." β
Nakahashi smiled, didn't refuse, and sat down, they were all foreigners at this table, and he was a Japanese. A chubby foreigner nodded at him and continued in fluent English, "Who came here of their own free will?" β
Nakahashi was puzzled, but also shook his head.
"Everyone only knew about the Qin Dynasty meeting after receiving an order from a higher department, right? And we only came here when our superiors asked us to come, right? The fat man said mysteriously, "If it weren't for this, who would have come to the third-party meeting?" Eight-bit games are all over the place, and the graphics of sixteen-bit computers are not impressive. No one wants to come to a third-party conference. β
Nakahashi understood something, and continued to listen.
That is to say...... Who is behind this conference? Leos asked softly.
"Definitely! But the question arises, who is so bold to invite almost all the magazines related to the electronic entertainment industry in the world at once. The fat man raised his chin without zΓ i: "Look over there, the electronic Sankei newspaper." Over there, Germany's 'Ninth Art,' over there, America's 'Entertainment League,' Mr. Nakahashi, there were the most Japanese present, you see, Japan has a little bit of a relationship with electronic entertainment, which one didn't arrive? β
Nakahashi took a closer look at the venue, and raised his eyebrows in less than three minutes: "Indeed...... Electronic newspapers, tabloids, and a little famous have all arrived. β
"The strength of this behind-the-scenes is terrifying. At least that's the connection. The fat man took a sip of coffee: "And his approach is obviously to support the Qin Dynasty." Hehe...... An hour ago, Sega rejected the Qin Dynasty and announced in a high-profile manner that MD had sold 3.19 million units, which was nothing more than a message to the Qin Dynasty and wanted them to go back. Unexpectedly, the Qin Dynasty also contacted the next family, and the strength did not seem to be weak. I just don't know who it is......"
"Mickey."
Just then, a voice rang out from the table. Everyone looked over.
It was a middle-aged woman who had not spoken, lazily stirring her coffee with a spoon.
"Who are you talking about?"
"Mickey." The woman stopped stirring the coffee and looked at the crowd: "Didn't you just say that there was a driving force behind it?" It just so happened that I was also ordered to come down. But this order was given to me by my husband. He happens to be the editor-in-chief of this newspaper. β
Everyone understood, but doubts arose.
"Who's Mickey?" Nakahashi asked curiously, "I've never heard of this president, and I haven't heard of this company." They're not in the electronics industry? β
The woman sat up straight, glanced at everyone's curious gazes, and sighed, "Mickey...... There is another name. β
"Mickey Mouse."
In an instant, the table was silent.
"Isn't it...... Nakahashi was short of breath: "You...... You mean...... This time, the Qin Dynasty's partner is Disney?! Disney has an idea to enter the electronic entertainment industry?! β
"No, it won't!" "It's unlikely...... "The Qin Dynasty actually found this kind of family...... This is a company that is stronger than Sega......"
Everyone's face was amazed, they only thought that this behind-the-scenes promoter should be quite powerful, but they definitely didn't expect that it was a company comparable to Nintendo and Sega!
"Unless my husband cheats on me." The woman said cautiously: "Everyone, when I heard the news, I couldn't believe it, if it was true...... Then the electronic entertainment industry will usher in a new round of reshuffle! β
She looked at everyone deeply: "Everyone knows how big waves it will be if another powerful third party joins...... I am sure that the Qin Dynasty will not be able to wait to announce this news...... Hehe, Sega's face will look good at that time. β
At this moment, the crowd began in the center and fell eerily quiet.
"Here we go." Everyone who was sipping coffee around stood up in unison, especially the table in the middle bridge, and looked at the field almost with trembling eyes.
On the main stage, a row of lights overhead was all lit up. Immediately afterwards, the curtain in the back was opened, Qin Yuanfeng walked out in a suit and leather shoes, his beard was clean, and his shirt was straight, and he sat in the middle position.
"Thank you very much for coming." He flipped his name tag over with an unpredictable smile: "I don't think I need to introduce more." Next, let the guests appear. β
When the second person walked out, the audience erupted in exclamation.
"Kenzo Tsujimoto!" "Capcom President Kenzo Tsujimoto! How is this possible! "Didn't Capcom just join Sega?! How could you stand with the Qin Dynasty?! β
In front of the TV, Yuji Naka, Hideki Okamura opened their eyes and looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.
"This is Kenzo Tsujimoto?!" Zhong Yuji looked at it for a long time, slammed the table, gritted his teeth and said, "He actually stood with the Qin Dynasty!" Come to the Qin Dynasty's meeting! Sega hasn't gotten word yet! He was sitting with us at Sega an hour ago! It was announced on the spot that Capcom would enter Sega! This perfidious villain! β
The entire venue, from the moment Kenzo Tsujimoto appeared, showed shock for the first time.
