Chapter 461: The End of the Old Era of the Yamauchi Family
Feng Qi was stunned, he didn't know Yang Yun's true intentions, what did he ask him to do in Yamauchi? Or ask him if he dares, is it ......
"Let me go myself...... Ask Yamauchi Pu? Feng Qi also felt embarrassed, saying this kind of thing to a critically ill old man, if he mentioned the controversy in the media, maybe it would aggravate Yamauchi Pu's condition, and let Yamauchi Pu die with a whimper, then wouldn't he become a murderer?
Yang Yun hurriedly waved his hand: "You misunderstood, although it is said that in business, falling into the well, chasing while winning, beating the water dog or something are all commonly used moves in business warfare, but I personally will not do this to Yamauchi Pu." I hope you can go to Yamauchi and his family in person...... Apologize. ”
Feng Qi breathed a sigh of relief, not to embarrass a patient, which made him feel a lot more relaxed, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the hospital to explain to them...... Oh, I didn't do anything wrong, what do I apologize for? Mr. Yang, why should we apologize? ”
Yang Yun smiled: "Yes, why should we apologize?" It's not because the outside world says that we are a cancer in the game industry, and after the scourge of 3DO, we will come to harm Nintendo, let's apologize in person, expressing that we really want to cooperate, and we really don't plan to harm Nintendo bankruptcy! ”
Burst......
Feng Qi heard this meaning, he opened his mouth and laughed, what Yang Yun just said was the opposite of business, asking him to go to Yamauchi Pu to apologize is actually a move to kill people without seeing blood, and unreasonable must become reasonable, he came to the door to apologize, but it was actually a strong slap in the face, and it was to force Nintendo into a corner, and open the bow left and right. Punches and kicks, and the other party can't fight back!
"Hey. Mr. Yang, fortunately I am on your side......" Feng Qi suddenly said. The funny Yang Yun laughed.
"My idol is Lei Feng, who treats his comrades as warmly as spring, and treats his enemies as ruthlessly as sweeping leaves in autumn. Therefore, don't think that I will have pity for my competitors, and I don't expect others to have any sympathy and luck for Longteng and me personally, and I myself am also prepared to be beaten to bankruptcy by any company. ”
Yang Yun continued: "You go to visit Yamauchi Pu, what you say depends on the situation. Don't him off, you have to conquer them with a master. Didn't they give you a game development kit? Can't you get it? It doesn't matter if they give it or not, anyway, you're going to develop the N64 version, and if Nintendo doesn't allow it to be released at that time, you'll stab the media! If they succumb to the pressure of public opinion and agree to your release, you will not bother to release it on N64 and slap them in the face! ”
"Good! Just don't let them get their wish, the same is why we use Nintendo to hype ourselves! Feng Qi slapped the table lightly, very excited: "Mr. Yang." These tricks of yours are really ...... You are this! ”
Feng Qi gave Yang Yun a thumbs up, and the two of them laughed.
……
……
The University of Tokyo Hospital is home to the best medical research institute in the cardiovascular field in Japan, and Yamauchi uses the world's most advanced heart bypass stent surgery. This technology has only been clinically used for two years and has good results in the treatment of myocardial infarction, but the cost is quite expensive. Only a wealthy upper-class elite like Pu Yamauchi can afford it.
Yoko Arakawa is the eldest daughter of Yamauchi Pu, after she rushed back from the United States. Together with his mother, he has been waiting for his father.
Other than that. Yamauchi also has two sons and a young daughter, but none of the three of them work for Nintendo, and for these children, leaving their father far away should be the happiest thing in the world, in their opinion, Yamauchi Pu is a tyrant with a strange temper, and it is difficult to get along with him.
Although the relationship between these relatives of the Yamauchi family has not been good over the years, but when it comes to the life and death of Yamauchi Pu, family affection still awakens the common factor in the blood, Yoko and his younger brothers and sisters do their best to take care of their sad and tired mother, and take turns to accompany their father in front of the bed, without complaint for more than ten days, showing a rare unity.
It's just that the roar of her husband Minoru Arakawa was faintly heard outside the door, and the sound also reached Yamauchi's ears, and the old man on the hospital bed tried to open his eyes with an inquiring expression.
Yoko frowned and said, "Father, it's nothing, maybe he's been under too much pressure lately......"
Yamauchi Pu didn't know that there was a guest visiting today, let alone that this guest might be a villain, he wanted to sleep for a long time now, but he couldn't rest assured that his game empire and his four children were at ease.
"Yoko ......" Yamauchi tried to make a sound, so low that it was almost indistinguishable.
Yoko leaned closer, listening to her father's words, while also paying distracted attention to the situation outside the hospital room.
There seems to be a nurse outside to maintain order, and the hospital is a place for patients to rest, how can they yell at will?
The president of the company who claimed to be looking for her husband came to find her, did they have some kind of conflict? Why is the dispute so big?
Yoko was a little uneasy, and her father said something intermittently: "I want to ...... Take my ...... Share...... ...... to you."
Chinese often say "60 ears are smooth, 70 do as you like", most Japanese retire at the age of 65, Yamauchi Pu he is 69 years old this year, he should have given up his rights a long time ago to enjoy the last few years of Qingfu life, after walking around the ghost gate, he finally made up his mind - let go.
Yoko was shocked and distributed the shares to his children, is this his father's will?
"Father...... Don't be cranky! You'll be cured and discharged from the hospital, Nintendo still wants you at the helm! Yoko was a little overwhelmed, she was just a woman, a typical Japanese housewife, and she couldn't make the decision about this kind of big thing.
"Impossible! Get out of the way! A louder argument was heard, this time clearly visible, and Minoru Arakawa's angry voice was mixed with a large group of persuasive accents, with doctors and nurses involved, and hospital security guards intervening.
What's going on? Yoko's mind drifted out of the door again, and she didn't notice that Yamauchi closed his eyes tiredly, muttered a few words, and never spoke again.
Yoko saw her father close her eyes and rest. Told me and hurried out of the ward.
She saw a group of medical staff pulling Minoru Arakawa along. And then there's the villain, and the two are forcibly separated. It is forbidden for them to quarrel in person.
Yoko grabbed a nurse who was hurrying over and asked eagerly, "What happened?" ”
The nurse said, "Mrs. Arakawa, the two of them were arguing just now, but it was too loud, so the security guards forcibly separated them and told them to calm down. ”
They didn't know what it was, only the parties Minoru Arakawa and Feng Qi knew best.
"Yaga! What a shameless person! Even if you do, I won't want it! Minoru Arakawa was locked up in an empty ward by a security guard and scolded angrily.
"Bastard! Shameless for the face! It was really said by Mr. Yang. These people are kind words and don't listen, and they don't accept them! Cheap! Feng Qi was in another room, swearing in Chinese.
The two of them said it was good before, but when Feng Qi tentatively asked if they could cooperate in a different way, it somehow aroused Arakawa's disgust.
As soon as the two said a few words, they couldn't get on the road, and slowly turned from a small dispute to a big quarrel. Feng Qi is a strong guy in his 30s, and Arakawa is almost 50 years old, so he is not afraid to fight Feng Qi!
There's no need to talk about it, Minoru Arakawa represents Nintendo. It completely blocked the road of cooperation with SZone.
Feng Qi was very unwilling, he decided to make a ruthless move, but Arakawa Minoru disagreed. The more he wants to do it, the more he will follow Yang Yun's method. Take a few hundred million yen and feed it to the dogs. When the time comes, let Nintendo not think about tea and dinner, and be blamed by 10,000 people, he also thinks it is worth it!
What's more, with SU samples in hand, as well as a large number of 64-bit processor development technology provided by Longteng, the principle of N64 is not much worse, maybe it doesn't take hundreds of millions of yen, it is likely that it won't be used for 20 or 30 million yen, so it's good to think of it as a 3D technology reserve!
Feng Qi straightened up his ragged clothes, walked out of the room, and took a hateful sip in the direction of Minoru Arakawa, then strode away and walked towards the elevator room.
As he passed by the gate of Yamauchi's ward, he resisted the urge to go in and harass, but stopped and glared at the door viciously.
It's just that he didn't notice that behind the cat's eye in the room, Yoko Arakawa saw this cursed glance, and couldn't help but shudder, she knew that this villain should have collapsed with her husband, and Nintendo is likely to have one more mortal enemy!
The next day, Yamauchi summoned his four children, as well as his most trusted deputy, Shigeru Miyamoto, and his lawyer, and asked them to surround his bedside and try to speak out about his decision.
Yamauchi Pu took out all the 16% Nintendo shares he owned, the two daughters each received 2.97% of the shares, and the two sons each received 5.03% of the shares, and the eldest son Katsuhito Yamauchi entered the management of Nintendo and served as a deputy to Shigeru Miyamoto, and the position of president of Nintendo was handed over to Shigeru Miyamoto!
After this shocking news came out of Yamauchi's mouth, another important thing also came at the same time, how Nintendo's decision-making power should be distributed, which is even more important!
Shigeru Miyamoto is a professional manager, he is only an executive with a 0.5% stake, and he simply does not have the ability to control the entire Nintendo company.
When Yamauchi Pu completely let go, although their family owned 16% of the shares as a whole, each of them was independent, and the proportion was not the largest, and the American Morgan Investment Bank held 9% was the largest shareholder.
The Japanese government, the Guardian Investment Group, the Fidelity Investment Group of the United States, and the Franklin Templeton Investment Company, these are all shareholders who hold 5% of the shares, and in the era of Yamauchi Pu, most of these shareholders only have the right to dividends, but no decision-making power, so Yamauchi Pu will firmly control Nintendo and become the emperor.
But now, no one has the courage of Yamauchi Pu, Miyamoto Shigeru does not, Arakawa Minoru does not, Yamauchi Katsuhito does not, this typical East Asian family business, finally to change the dynasty, is about to move towards the era of European and American capital operation, by the board of directors to control the decision, by the professional managers to implement.
The new Nintendo, maybe it will become the next EA!
On March 10, 1996, Nintendo released official news that the era of the Yamauchi family was over! (To be continued......)
