Heroes come out of troubled times, this is the favorite saying of Chinese.

When an industry has been so quietly tepid, the giants are making money, the little shrimp follows the butt and eats the ashes, the two or three giants eat meat, and thousands of game companies have blue noses and swollen faces in order to order soup and water, and they have to worry about camp problems all day long, for fear that they will stand on the wrong team and be given a second by a strong enemy, who is willing to live this kind of aggrieved life?

In particular, the traditional video game production company, the Big Eight in China led by Longteng, in addition to developing new games on SS and DC, in addition to constantly innovating arcade games and PC games, for them, the DC platform is not a paradise, just this platform, to face thousands of games to compete together, the pressure is not small.

Only when they mess up will they have a chance to become heroes!

Surge forward!

That's all Zhao Yongping's press conference said, and it was dismissed after announcing the fourth redesign of the Dragon Games Battle Platform, leaving no chance for reporters to ask them questions, knowing that it would take time for everyone to digest the content.

In the evening, several of China's largest forums and portals published the news of the press conference, excerpting Zhao Yongping's most important central ideas, and accompanied by a promotional brochure printed by Longteng, a new version of the Longteng game battle platform was launched at the same time, and the official website provided a download address for players to download and install for free.

At 7 p.m. on December 1, the news was processed and spread to all countries in the world through the Internet, reaching the ears of everyone who cares.

……

In Japan, Namco President Kono Nangong is taking a bedtime bath. He received a call from his subordinates and soaked until the water in the bathtub became cold.

"The Dragon Game Battle Platform is open to the public. But will they really accept me......" Nangong Haoye closed his eyes and sighed, his thoughts returning to ten years ago. He led Namco's glorious days in the video game industry.

In the Nintendo era, Namco was one of the Nintendo Five Tigers and enjoyed super superior treatment, but since Nintendo's defeat to Sega, Nintendo and their Namco have been gradually declining.

Nintendo can stubbornly resist with a lot of money, but they Namco can only choose to defect to Sony and try to find a chance to survive under the two platforms of Nintendo and Sony.

But eight years of the Anti-China War have passed, and last year Nintendo went bankrupt and split. The physical industry was taken over by Japanese companies, and the brand was taken over by the American company KTT, which retained the star games of "Super Mario", "Tetris" and "The Legend of Zelda", which were joint ventures with Nintendo, almost all of the video games were abandoned and turned to the development of PC games.

Watching the bankruptcy and demise of a generation of heroes, Nangong Haoye shed a few tears, not only for the dead Nintendo, but also for Sony and themselves in the wind and rain.

Now that Sony Games has also collapsed, where else can Namco go?

Lost the piece of video games. Is Namco really going to learn from Koei Co., Ltd. and enter the PC game industry single-handedly?

Or perhaps, the Chinese have the belly to accommodate Namco?

Nangong Haoye opened his eyes, and he stood up. Grab the bath towel next to you and wrap it, clean it a little, go to your study, and take out the phone to call your trusted subordinates.

The night had an unusual meaning for Namco. Nangong Haoye finally convinced his heart and struggled to bow his head to Long Teng. Surrender to Yang Yun.

He has already decided, early tomorrow morning. He will go to Longteng Japan to meet Wang Zhe, he hopes to get Longteng's forgiveness, Yang Yun's forgiveness, and Namco is willing to become the game provider of Longteng's game battle platform and DC platform!

……

On this night, Yoichi Kashikawa, the current president of Koei Co., Ltd., also lost sleep.

Koei is a very special company in the Japanese game industry, they have not planned to develop much on video game consoles from start to finish, they have been releasing PC games for years, only because Nintendo's N64 made a last-ditch effort, releasing 3 N64-exclusive boutique games, "Age of Exploration 3", "Nobunaga's Ambition: Celestial Legend" and "Taiko Rishiden 2".

Later, Nintendo went bankrupt, and Koei once again broke into the PC game world alone, but because the number of PC gamers was insufficient, and the similar competitor Dragon Teng was too powerful, the audience for their games has not been large.

When DC games are becoming more and more popular among players, and the market share of Longteng's PC games is getting bigger and bigger, the glory is gradually a little unbearable......

After learning the content of the Longteng press conference, Yoichi Xiangchuan pondered for a long time with a brush in his study, and the ink dripped on the paper, and the rice paper turned into a large ball of black, and he didn't realize it.

Practicing Chinese characters is his little hobby, he is very obsessed with the culture of the Three Kingdoms, otherwise he would not be able to make a boutique game like the Three Kingdoms, he can even speak fluent Chinese, and he is also quite interested in Chinese idioms and allusions.

"I don't know if Yang Yun is the prime minister who can hold the boat in his belly...... If Koei doesn't join his gaming platform, will players gradually forget about us in a few years? ”

Yoichi Xiangchuan smiled bitterly, there is no need to ask this question, he gave the answer himself.

When the Dragon game battle platform becomes the icon fixed in the lower right corner of the gamer's computer desktop, people's lives will be dominated by Longteng, LongChat chat, support music download and playback, play games and think of Longteng, watch movies also have Longteng strongly recommended, then who would think of an unknown small company Koei Co., Ltd. far away in Japan? Who is not on the game platform to download and buy online battles?

"Don't be stupid...... You can't fight them, take advantage of the situation, even Sony Games lost to them, you better not hold on......"

Xiangchuan Yoichi persuaded himself by talking to himself, he came back to his senses, looked at the discarded rice paper, shook his head, wiped off the large ball of ink, replaced it with a new one, and then washed and grinded, stood up straight, exhaled and concentrated, and put his right hand on the paper steadily: "Patience!" ”

……

Kutaragi Ken shook his head, he waved the empty wine bottle, and impatiently turned back and shouted, "Where's the wine?" Bring the wine! ”

The proprietress in her apron agreed in a bit of a panic, while helping to receive the other guests who were urging her, and she had to take the time to deliver wine to the drunken guest.

Although she doesn't like this kind of alcoholic guest very much, drinking too much will cause trouble and bring a lot of trouble, but he is generous, and has come almost every day in the past two months, and the restaurant she runs with a small capital still relies on long-term regular customers to support.

Plum sake, which is a specialty of Mt. Fuji, is a taste that Kutaragi Ken loves, and he recalls his youth, and even his youth, until a person appears in front of him, blocking the dim light, and sits uninvited.

"Mr. Kutaragi, do you need someone to drink with you?"

Kutaragi Ken's eyes were in a trance, and he shook his body and head and looked carefully for a long time: "Ogura ...... A man? ”

The man named Kazuo Ogura smiled, took the wine bottle that was dangling in Ken Kutaragi's hand, picked up a bowl casually, poured half a bowl for himself, and saluted: "You can still remember me after drinking like this, you really have a good memory!" ”

Kutaragi Ken wanted to shoot the case, but he still hesitated, and he didn't even have the desire/desire to snatch his wine bottle, but said with blank eyes: "Do I really have a good memory?" How could I forget my old rival? You don't want to be Hayabusa Nakayama's secretary, why are you coming to me? Come and see my down-and-out ugliness? Come and see my miserable end of being swept away by Sony? That's where your pleasure comes from? This is what you are...... Facing a defeated man who has lost a qiē? ”

After saying the word "defeated by his subordinates", Kutaragi Ken seemed to be pulled out of his soul, holding his head with his hands and hiding his face and crying bitterly, a middle-aged man close to 50 years old, saw the person who defeated him sitting in front of him, and he was down, borrowing alcohol to kill his sorrows, he had no demeanor when he fought at all, and he was not even as good as an ordinary person, no one could understand the shame in his heart, he couldn't stand it.

Kazuo Ogura didn't persuade, let alone speak, he just took out an envelope in his pocket and put it on the table in front of Kutaragi Ken, waited for him to recover from his depression, and stretched out his hand to signal: "China's Longteng Entertainment Game Company held a press conference today, and I believe you shouldn't have seen the content, so I brought it." There is also a letter written to you by President Nakayama, and I hope you will read it carefully when you are sober. ”

He stood up, took out his wallet from the inside of his jacket, left enough money for the proprietress to pay the bill and tips, saluted Kutaragi Kenharuka, and walked away without looking back.

Kutaragi Ken looked at the envelope in distraction, and he felt a pang of irritation in his heart, wanting to tear this to shreds.

He has been fired by Sony, he has become a waste that no one cares about, all the game production companies, all the big business executives have rejected his reemployment, only those small and surprising companies are vying for him, but they have taken a fancy to his former fame.

This qiē was all thanks to Long Teng, how could he be interested in Long Teng's every move? How could it be possible to wonder what that damn press conference was all about? And what exactly does Hayao Nakayama, an old immortal guy, want to say to him? He wasn't interested at all!

But before throwing away or tearing the envelope, he finally stopped, and then held the envelope tightly, his head between his hands, and howled again.

"Anyone who drinks too much is like this......"

The proprietress is very sympathetic, but she will not overflow with love, she has seen a lot of this kind of drunkard. (To be continued......)
