Tokyo, Nintendo headquarters.

In the conference room, a group of old men are gathering around to discuss how to deal with X-series graphics cards.

The president of the "Yamauchi Temple" sat at the top and listened quietly.

Bandai Co., Ltd.'s transformation into a smartphone manufacturer and the acquisition of Sega to launch the Bandai game platform were no threat to Nintendo.

Because the product types and product concepts of the two sides are too far apart.

For example, smartphones.

Its main function is to make calls, and in the signal standby stage, it is affected by the strength of the signal, and the power consumption is more or less, but it consumes at least 200 mAh of power a day.

Another of its main functions is to surf the Internet, at which time the screen is turned on, the signal is searched, the signal is enhanced, and the data is interacted with, consuming at least 70 milliamps of power in an hour.

The second important functions include news feed, real-time weather, stock trading alerts, etc., which need to be set to run in the background and consume power all the time.

If you play games with your smartphone, you can drain the 1500 mAh battery in 2 hours.

In addition, smartphones are 'integrated electronic communication devices', and the more functions they have, the higher the price, so manufacturers focus on 'cost-effectiveness' in order to better develop the market.

In other words, all the hardware is just for compatibility, and its own performance is not excellent.

As a result, there are music phones, camera phones, and game phones with higher prices.

Compare gaming handhelds.

The purpose of the game handheld is to allow players to better experience the game on the mobile terminal, it is equipped with a dedicated game chip, uses a loudspeaker that is more suitable for game sound, has a better handheld keyboard, and is equipped with a 2500 mAh large-capacity battery.

Since it does not have a call function, it does not need an RF chip, let alone signal standby.

With a reduced cost and low power consumption, the third-generation Gameboy can last up to 48 hours.

And the price is 988 red bills, but the effect of playing games can kill smartphones priced below 8000 red bills.

So, Nintendo has never considered smartphones as a competitor.

And Nintendo's real competitor is actually a power bank.

Entering 02 August, the power bank has developed the sixth generation model, referred to as C6,

The C6 does not use a commercial flywheel battery, and still uses supercapacitors + lithium-ion polymers, with a maximum battery capacity of milliamps.

Well, 16,000 mAh, after all, is a power bank, and its main purpose is to give battery life to other mobile electronic products.

In this generation of power bank, the iron company has increased the screen ratio, and only the standard configuration is a 5.2-inch screen, equipped with bilateral buttons that can be folded.

Then in the upper right corner of the back, there is a physical 'compass' the size of a watermelon seed that does not consume electricity.

In the upper left corner of the back, a mini laser rangefinder + SoS distress signal pen that can store electricity with solar energy is inlaid in.

In the middle of the back, small modules such as finding your car, measuring blood oxygen, and measuring heart rhythm are inlaid inlay.

The built-in functions are still the same as before: charging detection, card payment, and mechanical Three Kingdoms online games.

If that's all there is to it, the power bank is no threat to Nintendo.

But the problem is precisely the only game that comes with the power bank, the mechanical Three Kingdoms online game.

To date, the game has undergone nine major updates, and since it is an open world, the map already covers the entire home planet.

In other words, where you go online, the game character will appear in the novice village in the corresponding area, and then start exploring, collecting, interacting with NPCs, and digging into the secrets of the deep world.

Although no one has created a mecha until now, the setting, which is closely related to realistic physics, engineering, and biochemistry, extends to steam airships, steam trains, and steam freighters.

Some players become captains, some become captains, some become captains, some become police officers, and some players gather in the Caribbean and become pirates.

It is said that the next expansion is called the Age of Discovery.

Such a power bank, such a game content, even if its picture uses pixel blocks, it can still crush 99% of the game handhelds on the market.

But that's not the core gameplay of the Three Kingdoms Online Game.

The core gameplay is 'interconnected'.

You can run with your family to the riverbank in the novice village and have a game of parkour.

You can dive into the abandoned well of the novice village with your friends, classmates, and colleagues for a big adventure.

You can team up with nearby strangers to challenge regional bosses, or team up to challenge large and small secret realms.

You can secretly date a fat girlfriend or boyfriend who is afraid to tell your family.

You can also run into the wild with anyone, find NPCs to interact with, and then experience all kinds of mini-games.

Including mechanical cards, mahjong three missing one, everyone to find faults, demolition households vs. contractors, jewel maze, mechanical maze......

It is said that in the online game of the Three Kingdoms, there are more than 700 kinds of small games that have been discovered, ranging from five-finger chess, animal chess, and suffocating cows, to snooker, bowling, golf, basketball 3V3, and football World Cup.

There are more than 3,000 kinds of mini-games that have not been discovered by players.

Nintendo's fear is these creative, never-before-seen mini-games.

If there is a big game that covers all the small games that players like on the market, and has interactive functions such as interconnection, message message, networking, chat room, etc., then the big game will be upgraded to a 'game community'.

If a hardware manufacturer with a gaming community also owns a gaming platform, it will naturally constitute a 'market monopoly'.

Then ban the existing handhelds, handheld games, tV games, and home consoles on the market.

This is also what Nintendo has always wanted, but the route taken by the iron company is quite strange, start with a power bank, and then match it with a small game of polishing time, and then quietly get everything done.

In the future, Iron Sheet will not even need to pay attention to other game manufacturers, nor other game console manufacturers, and will be able to sit back and watch its competitors fall.

In particular, the advent of the X series graphics card means that the power bank is about to solve the picture problem, which is equivalent to giving competitors the most fatal blow.

Therefore, in terms of products, Nintendo missed the best opportunity to unite with Bandai to resist the Iron Sheet Company, and now in the face of Osawa production capacity independently, Nintendo has no chance of winning.

And in other ways, such as the background.

Nintendo was founded in 1889 and was mainly engaged in cards in the early days, and then the founder died, and his son-in-law took the throne, and the company was renamed and overhead, but soon, two atomic bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, followed by the arrival of North American soldiers.

The grandson of the founder of Nintendo, that is, he, Yamauchi, took the money to open the way, befriended two North American captains, and then with this relationship, he snatched the company back from his uncle very strongly, and then expanded his business very strongly, and became the largest card factory in Wajima.

Not long after, the North American captain became a major, and his appetite was even greater, and Yamauchi was not worried, but rejoiced, and after finding two majors to discuss, he led a team of North American soldiers, just like the interpreter who led the Japanese army into the village during the invasion of the East, and directly plundered and monopolized the taxi industry in Tokyo.

In this way, by the seventies, Nintendo had accumulated enough background to start making toys and studying game consoles.

In this process, an employee named 'Gunhei Yokoi' made great contributions to Nintendo's becoming the world's largest game console manufacturer, successively creating Super Monsters, Super Periscopes, and responsible for the development of Nintendo's video games, creating most of Nintendo's existing works.

And Nintendo, with two majors who have become the elders of the North American military, not only promoted the game console to the world, but also made the first generation of Gameboy game handheld the standard for North American soldiers during the Gulf War.

Even when Lao Bu attends a press conference, he has to bring Gameboy.

In general, the rise of Nintendo is inseparable from the support of the two elders of the North American military department.

However, after the two elders retired, they still intervened in the affairs of the North American military department.

One was shot down by a Maverick on his way to South Stick to check the accounts of the North American base.

One was on the battlefield of Yin Lakrypton, and was suddenly shot by Raymond with 64 shots, no, he was suddenly shot by the Yin Lakrypton rebels.

From then on, Nintendo began to go downhill.

For example, the third-generation Gameboy cannot be launched in the North American market for the time being because the product cannot pass the certification of Fmc Food Chemical Machinery Company.

For example, 'Yokoi Junhei', who made great contributions to Nintendo, was hit by a truck arranged by Bandai on the way to work and flew more than ten meters, and died of ineffective rescue.

So, Nintendo can't even do Bandai now, so what can it do to fight the iron company?

However, Nintendo is not the chairman of the company, let alone the president, but the Western Science and Technology Alliance.

Because of tVgame in Nintendo products, in collaboration with Mitsubishi Electromechanical.

Game cards in Nintendo products, in cooperation with many software manufacturers.

The software that supports games in Nintendo's products is in cooperation with Softmicro and Konami Inc.

In addition, game hardware needs to find a foundry, game boxes need to pay royalties to connect tV and handheld hardware, and publishers are required to sell products around the world, including game-derived toys, comics, animations, etc., which also exist in the Western Science and Technology Alliance.

In other words, if you don't give profits to the tech alliance, Nintendo won't be able to get the global market.

Now the Western technology alliance is difficult to parry the X series graphics cards, and the investors behind it - Wall Street are indifferent, in order to compete with the iron company, the Japanese company - Nintendo has become the best cannon fodder.

Yamauchi certainly doesn't want Nintendo to be cannon fodder, but the form is stronger than the man, and he wants to bark for the master.

That's why they are angry that dog dealers 'pollute the game industry with light effects'.

But dog dealers love dogs, but they never like their own homes.

In particular, the other party never advocates the saying that 'the dog bites you, do you have to bite back', but 'the dog bites him, and he will make the dog die without even scum'.

Therefore, after Yamauchi was angry, he hurriedly asked someone to secretly fly to Daze, and with reference to the threshold of the village chief's house, he sent two magnetic cards.

……

Xu Fei helped Nintendo finish the hexagram, found a mechanical vicious dog hiding in the corner with Hiromi through positioning, and then took the rail car back to the village chief's house together.

Pulling open the entrance door, Huang half-blind, who had returned from North America, was wearing a brocade robe, and was talking to a thin man in the living room.

"As the old saying goes, the Buddha asks for the next life, asks about this life, you find a poor monk for divination, the poor monk can only help you find a good family, and strive to live freely in the next life, I heard that Cui Dayong's grandson is about to be born......"

Huang Ban said blindly, grabbing two black magnetic cards, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the underworld and help you ask Yama, there are still a few places over there, don't worry, as long as the money is in place, we won't do anything." ”

The thin man clutched the magnetic card tightly, didn't let go, saw someone coming in, turned his head slightly, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Xu, this is yours." ”

Seeing this, Xu Fei immediately shouted angrily, "Spread it all!" ”

Lao Huang smiled, ran up to the second floor with a puff of smoke, and hid.

The thin man presented the magnetic card, "Mr. Xu, Chairman Yamauchi, I am very sorry for his inappropriate words and deeds, and specially sent me to visit and apologize to you. ”

"It's easy to say, it's okay to scold a few more words."

Xu Feile inserted the magnetic card into the mechanical vicious dog's backpack, and two pleasant prompts followed.

"Read successfully, please enter the password...... No secret inquiry, you currently have a balance of 500 million US dollars. ”

"Read successfully, please enter the password...... No secret inquiry, you currently have a balance of 500 million US dollars. ”

After Xu Fei heard this, he took out a fine Cuban cigar from his pocket, put it in his mouth comfortably, sat down on the sofa, and cocked Erlang's legs, "Have you eaten it?" ”

"Eat, Mr. Xu, what do you think of this?"

"I watched the sky at night, pinched my fingers, and guessed that Nintendo would have a bloody disaster tonight, but I couldn't calculate correctly...... Lao Huang, come to divinate a hexagram. ”

Before the words fell, Huang Ban was wearing a Taoist robe, and walked down with a fairy spirit, "Factory director, I just gave Nintendo a hexagram, and the hexagram shows that Yamauchi will have nobles to help him in the near future, and his career is booming." ”

Before the words fell, there was a buzzing sound from the thin man's communicator, and the other party took it out and glanced at it, and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, the president's emergency number." ”

"It's okay, you take it."

A moment later.

The thin man walked back from outside with a complicated expression, "Mr. Xu, James Chairman, tEp Group, called Nintendo, the other party wants to visit our company, you and tEp Group are currently in competition, Chairman Yamauchi can't make up his mind, I want to ask you to counsel one or two." ”

Xu Fei naturally understood what this meant.

On the face of it, Nintendo was willing to lean into the Iron Company and refuse James' visit.

But in fact, no enterprise in Wajima can escape the control of American capital, and Yamauchi cannot refuse James, otherwise the other party will be thrown into Tokyo Bay tonight to feed fish.

Therefore, Nintendo had to cooperate with the tEp group, but Yamauchi didn't want to offend the iron company.

Xu Fei shrugged indifferently, took out the two black magnetic cards he had just obtained from the mechanical vicious dog backpack, and put them on the table, "Business competition, it's normal, besides, the director of this factory has an advantage, you should understand." ”

The thin man nodded heavily, indicating understanding.

It's nothing more than that: take money to do things.

"Although you cooperate with the tEp Group, you don't need to worry about what means I use, and I don't bother to use any means, besides, my opponent is tEp, not you."

"Thank you, Director Xu, for your understanding."

"One more card, be safe."

“……”

The death of the oil tycoon triggered a new capital reshuffle.

The companies involved are not only American companies, but also Washima companies, Nanyang companies, South American companies, South African companies, European companies, and even ice bear companies.

The fields involved are not only crude oil, but also chemicals, daily chemicals, biopharmaceuticals, armament machinery, aerospace, financial markets and so on.

These various industries, which are directly controlled, indirectly controlled, secretly held, or invested in shares, have total assets of more than 20 trillion US dollars.

Of course, assets are not equal to cash, and the price of spot crude oil has plummeted, and total assets will shrink significantly.

But these have indeed become their own, otherwise Director Xu, who is known as Dongfang and an adult, would not be able to wake up with a smile in his dreams.

And James spent a month resisting the joint attack of the Morgan and the Rothschilds, defending the base of the oil faction, and then he must stabilize his investment in Wajima.

In particular, Wajima is a country that mainly imports energy and relies heavily on North American energy supplies, and the person in charge of the project happens to be the oil faction, which is now the tEp Group.

In other words, if the Iron Sheet Company wins the tEp Group in the graphics card plan and kills Nvidia, AtI, Amd, etc., North America will inevitably sign a new 'peaceful coexistence agreement' with the Iron Sheet Company to protect the Western technology alliance.

If North America agrees, we will secretly contact Wajima and come up with the blueprint that has been depicted, such as 'reaching northern Germany in the west and resisting North America in the east', and it is estimated that Wajima will dare to come to Pearl Harbor again.

"In this calm world, there is always some need for some flavoring."

After Xu Fei sent away the thin little devil, he lay on the sofa and swiped the current affairs news of the power bank.

The oil tycoon and his son died, Strauss was never seen again in a private hospital, and although no one spoke out in the world of capital, they all suspected that James was responsible.

James pointed at Morgan angrily, saying that he had enough evidence in his hand to show that the other party sent Raymond to do it.

General Raymond was besieged by microorganisms for a whole month, he couldn't eat enough, he couldn't sleep well, and his heart was panicked, and he lost more than 20 pounds.

James immediately showed a photo of Lei's defense personnel appearing in the Gulf of Tonkin.

Raymond would certainly not admit it, angrily scolding James for being a thief and shouting to catch a thief.

So the two sides launched a unique scolding war on the Internet, and even met to fight.

Xu Fei thought for a while and commented: "Don't quarrel, make money with kindness, I suspect Harden did it." ”

Lao Bu's trumpet: "I'm Harden, I don't carry this pot." ”

Everyone: "??? Are you still alive? ”

The Microbial Legion suddenly appeared in West Asia on a large scale, and it was rumored that Harden's mechanical legion had suffered heavy losses, and Harden fled to Persia alone, and has not been heard from since.

Some people say Harden is dead, some people post photos of Harden after his death, and even the NSA is sure that Harden is dead.

Lao Bu's trumpet: "I have seven dogs, you all understand." ”

After speaking, he made a dog-headed expression to save his life.
