757 Do You Want to Acquire Sony Games?
On April 9th, it was rainy and cold in Tokyo, Yang Yun walked out of Tokyo International Airport and got into a Toyota commercial car sent by Sega.
This trip to Tokyo, on the one hand, is for business, on the other hand, it is also for his cute little princess, Okawa Nanase also gave birth, it is a girl, mother and daughter are safe, this is still Igarashi Hanyue quietly called him, and took a swaddling photo of the little girl, is yawning with his eyes closed, that lazy demeanor is very similar to Yang Yun, very cute.
Running down to business first, the business car drove quickly through the streets of Tokyo, and soon arrived at the University of Tokyo Hospital, where Yang Yun came to the hospital room of Kobayashi Mustang and saw Hayabusa Nakayama and the people of the Kobayashi family.
"President Yang!" Many people who knew Yang Yun greeted him respectfully.
Hayao Nakayama came over and helped introduce Kobayashi Musang's two sons, Kobayashi Kenmin and Kobayashi Chiao, the old lady and daughter-in-law of the Kobayashi family did not come, Kobayashi Mustang had a sudden cerebral congestion, and the children did not dare to tell the truth to the old lady after the accident, the man came to the hospital, and the woman accompanied the old lady at home to do housework and chat.
"What's going on now?" Yang Yun felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy, and it was estimated that he was about to die.
Kobayashi Jianmin's expression was sad, he shook his head and said: "The doctor is rescuing, but there is not much hope, my father is too old, high blood pressure, diabetes, and he drinks alcohol at every meal, and he does not leave his hand......"
There was silence for a while, and Yang Yun was also quite emotional, Xiaolin Mustang was a good person. Although he is a member of Sumitomo Trading Company, a traditional Japanese foundation, he does not have any discriminatory views against Chinese. On the contrary, he also took care of Yang Yun very much, and gave Long Teng a lot of help over the years.
In 1990, Yang Yun participated in Sega's carnival for the first time as a game supplier. At that time, the game "Saloman" won the honorary title of Best Game of 1989 Sega, which was awarded to him by Kobayashi Mustang.
Later, Kobayashi Mustang gave Yang Yun 2% of the shares on behalf of Sega Co., Ltd., and after Longteng counter-acquired Sega, he took the initiative to withdraw from Sega within a few years to let Xian, and after retirement, he also maintained contact with Longteng and Sega, and constantly put pressure on the Japanese Diet when Longteng was frustrated, preventing Congress from adopting retaliatory policy subsidies for foreign game companies, he has always been a friend of Sega and Longteng, and is the most valued partner of Hayato Nakayama. He is also Yang Yun's mentor and friend, and Yang Yun has learned a lot from him.
At this moment, the door of the operating room was pushed open, and the family members gathered around, but the doctor shook his head indifferently and did not say a word, and the corridor suddenly burst into tears, wailing and tearing hearts.
"Let's mourn,......" Yang Yun and Hayao Nakayama could only say to Chiao Kobayashi. The whole scene was chaotic, and of course no one was sad about the loss of their loved ones, although they were outsiders, they also had deep feelings. I was also saddened.
"The company should be kind to his descendants."
Yang Yun said this, and Hayao Nakayama also nodded: "I know, I will take out 100 million yen from the president's fund for the funeral and funeral arrangements of Kobayashi's predecessors." ”
"It's fine. He gave his life to us, and we cannot afford to treat him badly. His children will be entrusted to you, and if we can take care of them, we will help them. ”
"I will."
After leaving the hospital. The two sat down in the tea house they often visited, tasted tea, watched dances, and listened to music, and their mood slowly calmed down.
"You know about the huge loss of $230 million in Sony Games last year, right?"
"I know. Why, is it possible that Ken Tatara resigned? ”
"I didn't resign, but it wasn't much better, because he was transferred to the back office a few days ago to take up an idle position because of his poor leadership of Sony's game department."
"Hah!"
Hearing this news, Yang Yun was in a much better mood, Kutara Mujian is a fair evaluation, in fact, he is very talented and visionary, if it is not for chance, not for the creation of the world, he is very likely to carry forward the Sony game department, and sit on the throne of the president of the Sony Group.
But too talented people are afraid of ambition, thinking that Sony first cooperated with Nintendo, and the cooperation did not achieve their own work, as soon as they came up, they planned to control the CD standard by themselves, monopolize the entire console market, control all high-precision parts, and let all game manufacturers beg for them, PS propaganda is also false, claiming to process 560,000 polygons at the same time, how advanced the CPU is, how powerful the graphics processing is, I can't wait to beat Nintendo and Dragon Teng indiscriminately with one move.
Yang Yun launched SS a year ahead of schedule, and continued to expand its strength from the CPU and GPU, slowly narrowing the gap with Sony in hardware, and continued to launch classic games, leaving Sony far behind in software, and firmly tied Enix, Square Enix, these Japanese game companies to the dragon chariot, Sony's PS platform is really good, but there is no rice to cook, can only defeat again and again.
"We've been fighting for four or five years, right? Sony's loss this time, I think will it make their upper echelons waver? ”
"I think for sure, in the 1998 Asian financial crisis, Japan has not fully recovered, Sony was still slightly profitable in Europe and the United States last year, but the game department dragged them down, and it is rumored that Sony's top management intends to lay off Sony's game department."
"President Nakayama, have you ever thought about eating Sony's game division?"
"Yang, I know what you mean, haha!"
The two laughed knowingly and toasted each other with their teacups.
This is to use KTT's acquisition of Nintendo's trick, find an outside third-party company as a cover, take down Nintendo's most valuable brand, and abandon all other negative assets, so as to achieve Yang Yun's goal of indirectly controlling Nintendo.
If Sony Games is really laid off, it will definitely not simply remove the department, transfer personnel, and then discard all those instruments and employees, and it will definitely be a global bidding to sell at a suitable price to reduce its losses.
Hayao Nakayama is Japanese, and the company Sega Japan has been operating for decades, and even today it has not been abolished, and it still stands like that in the Japanese game industry, in the hearts of some Japanese, Sega was only conquered by the Chinese with capital, they still represent Japanese game culture, or the Japanese spirit of "you can defeat me, but you can't beat me".
Once Hayato Nakayama was also a little sad about Square Enix's surrender, Konami Capcom went bankrupt, Nintendo sold, and the Japanese game industry was bottoming out, but after he really saw Yang Yun's strength, he knew that he was invincible, and the Japanese game industry could not defeat Longteng either, and the European and American game industries also surrendered to Yang Yun and became a vassal of Longteng?
Going along with the crowd is the choice of smart people, he is a professional manager, as long as he can earn money and achieve his career, he doesn't care who he fights for, he asked himself if Sega is still in his hands, it will definitely be defeated by Nintendo and Sony, so why does he think so much?
"If Sony Games falls again, there will really be no flag in the Japanese gaming industry. I can go and take over Sony Games, but this thing needs to be well planned, Kobayashi is gone, my influence in Congress is limited, and maybe I have to find a collaborator again. Hayao Nakayama thought for a long time before saying this, and he was really worried.
Yang Yun nodded: "I will let Yang Zhan and Wang Zhe come over to help you, your combination has almost no opponents in Japan, I believe that if Sony Games is sold, no one in the world can compete with you." ”
"First of all, I'm going to break with the dragon."
"This is a must, a wonderful performance is not a one-man show, there are protagonists, but also supporting roles, this time I am willing to serve as your supporting role."
"But please also believe in my nature, this time it won't be an opportunity to exclude dissidents, right?"
"How can it be President Nakayama! Remember what you said when we first met? 'I'm glad I have you as an ally now', we're allies! ”
"Haha! Among the heroes of the Three Kingdoms, Huang Zhong is almost seventy years old and still on the battlefield, and I, Zhongshan Falcon, is 67 years old this year, and he is not a few years old with Huang Zhong, I don't know if I can usher in the second youth of my career? ”
"Try it!"
After breaking up with Hayakuo Nakayama, Yang Yun declined the company's dispatch and took a taxi around the streets of Tokyo.
Whether Sony really sells the game department is still two words, and Sony games have a special status, not an independent company like Nintendo, an independent brand, it is a department under the name of Sony, the so-called brand value is almost zero after the sale, and Sony's PS platform has no effect on Longteng at all, he wants to acquire Sony games, there are only two purposes.
One is to block the mouth of the Japanese government and Japanese public opinion, Longteng forced one Japanese game company after another, eating like too ugly, when Nintendo was almost bankrupt, the Japanese parliament also issued a decree to subsidize the Japanese animation and game industry, the Japanese people are also quite dissatisfied, thinking that the Chinese learned from Japan The game and animation production zuò actually surpassed their teacher, and wanted to drive the teacher off the altar, which is to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestor, which is unbearable.
The second purpose is also to minimize the number of enemies, he took over Sony Games, which can give hope to other manufacturers in the game industry, thinking that Sony may make a comeback in a few years, as long as Longteng can't do a global monopoly on the surface, there will be no antitrust competition-related lawsuits, and he is safe, and the same is true for KTT's acquisition of Nintendo, and now let Hayabusa Nakayama buy Sony Games.
"Your destination has arrived!"
The taxi driver respectfully reminded Yang Yun to come back from his thoughts, smiled and paid the fare and tip, and stepped out of the car.
Walking through a busy street and through a quiet alley, a Japanese-style residential area of single-family houses comes into view, and the one with the lavender planted in front of the door is his destination. (To be continued......)
