Chapter 263: Gunpei Yokoi suffers a car accident

"Nani! Dragon's version of "OnlyLove"? How can this be? Gunhei Yokoi was stunned, he was a little overwhelmed after seeing NHK's TV news.

Japan is experiencing the first severe typhoon of the year for the past two days, and he stayed at home for two days without leaving the house, which is also a common way for many Japanese companies to cope with severe natural disasters, allowing some employees to rest at home.

Yokoi Junhei stood up, picked up the phone and was about to dial Yamauchi Pu, but as soon as he dialed out two numbers, he took the initiative to hold it down, thought about it, and felt that it was better to inquire about what happened first, so he turned to Kamitsuki Jingzheng.

Because the project of "OnlyLove" has always been followed up by him, he has to question weishenme that this kind of thing will happen, otherwise he will not know anything when he reports to Yamauchi, which is an act of looking for death.

There was no signal on the phone and no sound could be heard, and it was only then that Gunpei Yokoi realized that it was most likely the typhoon that had cut the communication lines in the nearby community.

No, he had to know what was going on for such an important thing as soon as possible, how could Weishenme, who was obviously working with Konami, suddenly become out of control?

Could it be that he hit the common dead knot of Capcom and was preemptively launched by Longteng to launch the same game?

Yokoi Junhei put on his coat, put on a waterproof jacket, then took out a large black umbrella from the cloakroom, grabbed the keys to the car, and prepared for the trip.

He looked at the pouring rain outside the house, and the branches that were blown crooked by the wind, and was a little worried, and finally gritted his teeth and prepared to go out, but he was seen by his wife at the door and hurriedly stopped him.

"Where are you going in such bad weather? It's so dangerous! ”

Yokoi said worriedly: "The company is in big trouble. I'm going to see the president. ”

Madame persuaded hard: "It's dark now, and the other employees of the company have already left work. Even if you meet the president, what role can you play? ”

Yokoi Gunpei sighed: "I know. But I know better that if I don't go now, I will probably be in a more difficult situation in the future! ”

As the main contact person for the "OnlyLove" project, if he can't deal with emergencies in the first place, resulting in irreparable damage, Yamauchi's anger will definitely come to his head.

Pushing open the door, the wind was wrapped in the rain pouring in, and the beaten Yokoi Junhei couldn't open his eyes for a while, but he still rushed out. Ran into the garage and started his Toyota sedan.

The rain was very heavy, coupled with the strong wind, so that the windshield wipers were completely insufficient, and the most high-end sweep was also useless, only at the moment of brushing you could see the road conditions ahead, but after 1 second, the whole glass window became blurry again.

At an intersection, the chassis of the car appears to have hit something, and it is also possible that the engine has entered water. No matter how much Gunpei Yokoi pressed the clutch and accelerator, the vehicle could not continue to move forward, and after fully releasing the clutch, the vehicle shook twice. Quickly turn off the heat.

Yokoi tried to re-ignite several times, but it couldn't start, under the dim street lamp. He gritted his teeth and braved the pouring rain to open the car door. Be prepared to review the issue.

But in his distraction, he forgot to turn on the double flashing warning lights. Forgetting to look in the rearview mirror and forgetting the habit of driving safely at traffic intersections, he just wanted to start the car quickly and get out of this hellish place!

The tragedy happened all of a sudden, a Honda car with a strange driving route came from behind, maybe it was a bad view from the outside, maybe the driver mistakenly took the accelerator as a brake, and when the Toyota broke down in an emergency, the Honda car knocked Yokoi Junhei out of the whole person, and fell directly five meters away, after rolling a few laps, Yokoi Junhei was blocked by the roadside sill, half of his body was thrown into the water, struggling in pain.

It was an intersection, and there were a lot of vehicles coming and going, and soon someone stopped to urgently check on Yokoi's injuries, but fortunately an ambulance passed by, and the paramedics quickly lifted him into the car and took him to the hospital with the alarm.

……

……

As Yokoi Gunpei expected, on this stormy night, Yamauchi Pu was restless in his villa.

The typhoon made all the communication signals bad, he couldn't contact Minoru Arakawa, he couldn't contact Kazuki Keimasa, and he couldn't contact Yokoi Junpei, Yamauchi Pu could only ask several other executives of Shigeya Miyamoto to rush to his villa, and he was on the verge of anger.

An hour later, there were a few subordinates standing outside the door who looked like chickens in soup, and Yamauchi's wife was handing dry towels to a few people to wipe off the water stains.

Yamauchi Pu came to the door, but still didn't see Kazuki Jingzheng and Yokoi Junpei, and roared angrily: "What's going on with Konami? Can any of you contact Jingzheng last month? And what about Yokoi? ”

No one can answer these questions, the mobile phones in people's hands have long been useless, only the landline phone in Yamauchi's house is still unblocked, and even he can't contact Jingmasa and Yokoi Junhei, and the others can't do anything.

When everyone was at a loss, the landline rang suddenly.

Everyone saw Mrs. Yamauchi take the phone and whisper her name, and then her face was full of astonishment and horror, and finally the earpiece fell from her hand and hit the wooden floor, and the sound woke everyone up.

"Yokoi Junping him...... Seriously injured after being hit by a car...... Admitted to the University of Tokyo Hospital...... Rescuing ......"

What the!

A group of people exclaimed, Yamauchi Pu was so surprised that he couldn't believe that he couldn't close his mouth, Miyamoto Shigeru was almost scared and his legs were weak, and everyone asked nonsense, but Mrs. Yamauchi couldn't say why, Zuihou people went out collectively again, and rushed to the University of Tokyo Affiliated Hospital in the wind and rain.

Outside the operating room of the University of Tokyo Hospital, there were many people waiting, the first to arrive was the family of Yokoi Gunpei, then the leaders and colleagues of Nintendo, and Zuihou was the media reporters who rushed from all walks of life.

The operation went quite unsatisfactorily, and the doctor called out the patient's family halfway, expressing that there was nothing they could do, but the family was unwilling to give up, willing to accept any form of treatment plan, and willing to take all the risks themselves.

Pu Yamauchi and Shigeru Miyamoto turned pale, trying to control their grief. Supporting Mrs. Yokoi, and their eldest son, who was just 18 years old. and the youngest daughter who is in middle school.

"Please, doctor! We're willing to pay any price! 100 million. 1 billion, as long as he can save him, all the costs will be borne by Nintendo! Yamauchi's eyes were red, this old man in his 60s said these words in a pleading tone, he had been strong all his life, but in the face of death, he had to bend down and bow his head.

Of course, the doctor was familiar with the legend of the gaming world, but Yokoi's injuries were so severe that he hit his head on the roadside barrier when he landed before stopping to roll. With massive intracranial hemorrhage, and almost complete cessation of bodily functions, they are really powerless.

For a while, the sadness quickly spread to the entire operating room, and everyone who knew Yokoi Gunpei couldn't help but shed tears, listening to the howls and cries of the family members, everyone couldn't cry.

Nintendo's Gunpei Yokoi has an accident!

In the early hours of the morning, the news spread throughout the Japanese game industry in various ways, and the vast majority of people regretted and regretted it. Even the rival Sega side sighed.

Yang Yun was the first to get the news, and he didn't speak for a long time.

In the real history of his arrival, Yokoi Gunpei did die in a car accident, but not now. Rather, in a few years.

I don't know if it was the butterfly effect he brought that changed history like this, Capcom's Yoshichi Okamoto committed suicide by jumping off a building. Nintendo's Gunpei Yokoi was hit by a car a few years earlier, and he affected too many companies and businesses. Changed the fate of too many people!

"When he is buried, I'll give him another gift." Yang Yun muttered to himself. The father of the GameBoy, in all fairness, is indeed a hero of Nintendo, and if it weren't for his appearance, Gunhei Yokoi would have developed Pokemon in the future, Kirby of the Stars, who would lead Nintendo to the pinnacle of his career.

Early the next morning, Yang Yun convened the core management of Fengyun and Sega to discuss the response to the Yokoi Junhei incident.

"Yokoi Gunpei has confirmed that the rescue is ineffective, and he died in the early morning. Either way, we should respect this competitor and show our respect for him. ”

Yang Yun put down a few mainstream newspapers, sighed, and mourned in silence.

After a while, Hayao Nakayama said, "Yang, are you going to his funeral?" ”

Yang Yun shook his head: "If I don't go, if I go, it will only increase my sadness, and I'm afraid I will be caught by the media, amplify and distort our meaning, and let people send their hearts instead of me." ”

Hayao Nakayama agreed: "Then I will entrust the Takahashi brothers, the children of Yokoi Gunpei, to study at university, and we Sega can bear the expenses." ”

"Coupled with our hearts, let's donate more pensions to him!" Wang Zhe and Ma Liang said one after another, they also had the feeling of being sad that the rabbit died and the fox died.

Once the matter is settled, the aftermath of the incident is dealt with.

Yang Zhan flipped through the record book and said: "Not surprisingly, in the morning market today, shareholders will definitely panic sell Nintendo's shares." However, there is no immediate impact in the industrial side, his deputy will take over, and Nintendo's projects will continue as normal. We don't need to worry too much about it for the time being. ”

Yang Yun knew it in his heart and said: "Yamauchi Pu has a lot of cash in his hands, in fact, in the stock market, as long as he has the heart to manipulate and buy his own circulation, he will not let the stock price drop too much." However, as a competitor, we can't miss a single opportunity to hit Nintendo. ”

Wang Zhe asked excitedly: "Mr. Yang, are you going to release that news?" ”

Yang Yun nodded and said coldly: "Yes! Take advantage of his illness and kill him! ”
