SZone Games' public statement was drafted by a senior lawyer in the Japanese gaming industry, citing a large number of Japanese and American legal provisions, and the content can be distilled into two meanings.

First, SZone is an adult game production company, and they have never shied away from denying it, and they will continue to make adult games in the future.

Second, their two games, "Love Season" and "American Pie", did not violate any Japanese and American laws by making the game, although it was illegal to sell adult games to minors, but it was a matter for the sellers, 3DO and EA, and they had nothing to do with them, SZone, and they therefore proposed $2 million in compensation to compensate for their losses.

This statement and the indictment have pushed 3DO to the forefront again, making all the efforts of 3DO's shareholders in the past few days in vain, and their desire to deal with this matter in a low-key manner has been frustrated at once.

This is the most important Christmas season in North America!

Forced by the Interactive Digital Software Association, criticized by members of Congress, exposed by the media, and finally going to court to become defendants, Panasonic and EA Software Sales Center suddenly entered the public eye, and the general public had the impression that there were a large number of adult game sales in the business premises of these two companies, and the impact was very bad!

Industry insiders think that SZone's move is very outlandish, and it is not good for them to turn against their platform provider 3DO, because once 3DO gets through this, SZone will have no way out, and no home console platform will release their games.

Conspiracy theorists are skeptical. SZone may have done this on purpose, and the "go to my house" event in "Love Season" is super difficult to achieve. It was also actively exposed by SZone's own internal employees, just to drag 3DO into the abyss!

It's a pity that no one found out the inside story. Except for Feng Qi as the president of a Japanese game company as a Chinese, there is nothing suspicious, and the legal department and business investigation team of Panasonic Corporation cannot find any Feng Qi's files and past work experience in China, this person seems to appear out of thin air.

In addition to 3DO's own game suppliers, Longteng Sega, the most influential company in the North American market, also issued a statement.

In the TV media interview program, Jiang Shaoyun said bitterly: "Minors are physically and psychologically fragile, immature, and very vulnerable to temptation and aggression from the outside world!" Dragon Sega has always been strict with itself. We strongly support the Interactive Digital Software Association's rating review system and hope to become a member of the Entertainment Software Rating Committee (ESRB) and take on our responsibilities! ”

Longteng Sega's attitude has been greatly appreciated by the mainstream public opinion in North America, which is what a responsible company should do, strict with itself, and willing to take the initiative to cooperate with the Interactive Digital Software Association to submit all games for review and supervision, which makes the public admire.

In 3DO company stunned. When he hated Dragon Sega, Minoru Arakawa, president of Nintendo's North American branch, was also interviewed by the TV media.

Minoru Arakawa expressed the same meaning as Jiang Shaoyun, and finally added a few examples, all the fighting games on the Nintendo platform. Characters are sweating instead of spurting blood when they are hit, and there are no corpses or bleeding after destroying enemies in the game. Rather, it simply disappeared, and Nintendo was willing to deal with the violence that arose in the gaming industry. Killings, drugs, as well as gambling phenomena are fought.

Nintendo is following in the footsteps of Dragon. Quickly clear himself, try to prove his innocence, and then fall into the well by the way, kick 3DO, so that the latter can only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach!

No way, except for 3DO, everyone can stand on the moral high ground, and they are to blame for receiving such a blow!

But the matter is not over, in 1993 Christmas, in addition to the occurrence of SZone sued 3DO, Dragon and Nintendo held high the banner of justice to jointly suppress the competitor 3DO, two shocking things that shocked the game industry, another thing, completely turned the game industry upside down - the American Blackstone Group invested in Karinka-Tetris-Technology-Co.Ltd, the abbreviation of this company is KTT!

……

……

Half a month ago, after Yang Yun called Jiang Shaoyun, he couldn't help but contact the mysterious American investor Cao Kairui and invited him to visit the capital.

Cao Kairui happened to be in Malaysia to inspect the oil field, and the next day he came to the capital, and after meeting Yang Yun, he heard a news that even he couldn't believe.

"The shareholder of 3DO, the strategic partner of EA, and the American KTT game software company is actually my personal asset, and I own the majority of the shares. Now, I would like to ask Blackstone Group to invest in KTT! Yang Yun made this decision with difficulty.

Cao Kairui stared at Yang Yun and didn't come back to his senses for a long time, he was shocked: "It's really unexpected, I've been speculating about the relationship between your two companies before, but there has never been evidence...... Mr. Yang, it turns out that you were deploying this qiē 4 years ago! ”

4 years ago, Yang Yun did have the idea of supporting KTT to become an EA opponent, but there has been no progress, and he has not spent energy on it in recent years, mainly because the development of computer hardware is too slow.

Yang Yun was very tired: "Kerry, I am now suffering from many enemies, so I can only ask you to be a helper." ”

"You calm down first, tell me all the causes of the incident, and I'll help you analyze it." "Although I would love to invest in your company to enter the game industry, I am not one to take advantage of others, and Blackstone will carefully evaluate and consider every detail, not all companies are worthy of Blackstone's investment," Cao said solemnly. ”

Yang Yun nodded, analyzed the relationship between Longteng and Nintendo, Sony, Panasonic, EA and Ubisoft in detail, and drew the relationship between several companies on paper, which is very clear and clear at a glance.

After speaking, Yang Yun said: "In the video game console industry, Nintendo, 3DO, and Sony, these companies are my enemies, and I have to spend a lot of time and energy to compete with them. In terms of PC games, Longteng's biggest competitors are EA in the United States and Ubisoft in France, but I am really helpless and powerless. Carey, what do you think can do to beat EA? ”

Cao Kairui understands that he himself is a Wall Street expert in asset operation and venture capital, and in terms of investment vision and money-making efficiency, Wall Street's stronger management companies than Blackstone Group can be counted in a slap, and he can certainly see the operation of EA at a glance.

To put it bluntly, EA is a typical Wall Street company, in fact, it is no different from other companies under the Blackstone Group, if you want to defeat EA, you can only fight them in the same way and use Wall Street's economic means to deal with them!

Cao Kairui asked: "Do you want Blackstone to invest in KTT and use economic means against EA?" ”

Yang Yun said: "It's Blackstone and Dragon Teng who fight EA together, I will solve all the game technology for you, you will solve all the business problems for me, and we will join forces to force EA and Ubisoft to bankruptcy!" ”

Blackstone is indeed very optimistic about the development of PC, and high-tech IT companies are also the objects of their attention, and PC games are a very good breakthrough.

It is a very big advantage to have Longteng provide the production technology of PC games, but as a businessman, Cao Kairui still asked in a deep voice: "Blackstone has never done loss-making business, how many shares of KTT can I get?" ”

Yang Yun nodded and said, "I can give you 30%." ”

"49 percent. ”

Yang Yun refused: "Up to 40%." Kerry, although Long Teng can't kill EA, he won't be afraid of him. I wanted to bring in an investment bank in the hope that I would bring EA to bankruptcy. I'm sure there are a lot of Wall Street investment banks that are interested in KTT, right? Also, I have one more condition. ”

There are many investment banks on Wall Street......

said it so directly, which made Cao Kairui smile bitterly: "Mr. Yang, you have always been so strong, you are unwilling to back down......"

Yang Yun smiled: "No way, my personality is like this, I want to be strong." My other condition is that I want to join forces with Blackstone to invest in or buy AMD! ”

Cao Kairui was taken aback: "Hell! Did you come up with this idea? Do you know AMD's background? Morgan Consortium! ”

Yang Yun asked rhetorically, "Could it be that Blackstone is afraid of Morgan?" ”

Cao Kairui snorted coldly: "Of course I'm not afraid!" Morgan is the number one target of all other consortiums in the United States, but I'm curious, with IBM in front and Intel behind, why would you take a fancy to AMD, an obscure little company? Outsiders may not know, but they can't hide it from our investment bank, these three companies are inextricably linked! ”

Yang Yun laughed, of course he won't tell the truth, AMD will be divided with Intel in the future, occupying more than 90% of the global CPU market, this kind of thing will he talk nonsense?

"I'm not afraid to sue you, I'm Chinese, and I'm doing this for political purposes." If Blackstone doesn't dare to buy AMD, I can find a way to find Motorola chips, IDT, Cyrix, Texas Instruments, NEC, all of which have semiconductor technology. Yang Yun smiled.

Cao Kairui was speechless, he just wanted to use the prestige of the Morgan consortium to scare and scare Yang Yun, to see if he could guess Yang Yun's true purpose, but who knew that the other party would not slip his hand and say so many well-known semiconductor companies at once, so that he really couldn't figure out Yang Yun's true thoughts.

AMD is definitely very important to Yang Yun, but whether Yang Yun has the ability and technology to make ADM reborn and change, Cao Kairui does not know.

If there is really this technology, and Longteng buys other CPU manufacturers alone, then there will be nothing to do with Blackstone.

Cao Kairui looked at Yang Yun and found that he couldn't see through the other party at all, he was silent for a long time, and finally said, "Let's talk about the details!" (To be continued......)
