Shirakawa Electric is currently involved in the game field, only in the handheld industry.

But then there are arcade machines, home consoles, and even embryonic computer games.

After all, the handheld is still too simple, and first of all, the hardware has the greatest restrictions on it.

Whether it is the picture or the sense of experience, it is a big step behind arcade machines and home game consoles.

After the meeting, Shirakawa Kaede also pulled Tanimura, Satoshi Iwata, and Akagi to discuss the possible future development prospects of HAL.

"HAL is currently only focused on handheld games.

However, for the sake of comprehensiveness, I think it is possible to expand the business appropriately. ”

"Eh, Shirakawa-san, our handheld business is still on the rise.

Isn't it so anxious to develop other businesses" Tanimura didn't expect Shirakawa Kaede to continue to expand HAL's business.

In his opinion, now HAL is already good.

The games produced are equipped with their own handhelds, and the sales have been good.

Before the handheld business was launched, he couldn't even afford a small umbrella.

Now for most of the year, not only has the place where I lived changed to a high-end apartment, but even my girlfriend has changed by the way.

He is not satisfied with his current life, so why take the risk to develop other businesses.

If you lose money and affect the income of the handheld, won't you get less and less?

Shirakawa Kaede glanced at him lightly, "Tanimura-kun, a new student club, you have to have the courage to try."

Especially in the field of video games, everyone is groping their way forward.

If we stick to the existing field, then the blue ocean that may exist in the future may pass by us. ”

In terms of courage and self-motivation, Tanimura is still a little worse after all.

I hope that the young people of HAL will grow up as soon as possible, thinking of this, Shirakawa Kaede turned his head to look at Satoshi Iwata beside him.

"Iwata-kun, what other aspects do you think HAL can extend?"

"Computer game" Satoshi Iwata did not hesitate to give his own answer.

"Tell me," Shirakawa Kaede looked interested.

Shirakawa. San", "etc."

Satoshi Iwata couldn't finish his sentence when he was interrupted by Kaede Shirakawa.

"Privately, call me Shirakawa-kun. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable for you to scream, and it will be uncomfortable for me to hear. ”

Shirakawa Kaede knows that this guy sometimes has a bit of a big nerve, and he has always regarded himself as a peer.

So in private, Shirakawa Kaede didn't mind, he called himself a friend.

Hearing Shirakawa Kaede say this, Tanimura and Akagi both showed envious looks.

Only the slightly chubby Satoshi Iwata scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Shirakawa-kun, I think that in the future, personal computers will become popular.

At that time, the microcomputer will definitely become a new platform, and games will definitely have a lot to do in it. ”

"Very good" For him to recognize this, Shirakawa Kaede is already very satisfied.

"I agree with Iwata-kun, so HAL might as well set up a computer game department in the future to specialize in computer game design."

At this time, the cost of game design is more on top of labor cost and time cost.

Shirakawa Kaede feels that even if he can't make a profit, it's good to practice his hands.

"In the meantime, if you have time, you might as well pay attention to home game consoles."

"Huh?" Satoshi Iwata and Tanimura looked at Kaede Shirakawa in surprise.

Bai Chuanfeng smiled slightly, "You might as well get to know it to you, we will have our own chip born this year."

This is a processor chip, and if you are engaged in hardware and software design, you must be well aware of its critical role.

This chip is capable of more complex calculations and logic control, and has excellent performance in terms of latency and power consumption.

At that time, whether it was on handheld or home game consoles, there were a wide range of application scenarios.

So how to use it to design more advanced and better game consoles is your job. ”

"Shirakawa-kun, is this true?!" Satoshi Iwata asked excitedly.

"Rest assured, when the trial production is successful, we must send a few pieces to HAL for R&D trial." Shirakawa Kaede confidently made a guarantee.

He is quite confident in Shima Zhengli and the amount of money he has thrown in.

"That's amazing!" In the previous handheld research and development, Satoshi Iwata suffered from the sluggishness of the chip.

Because of the limited cost, it is not possible to use higher-end chips.

Ordinary computer chips, or shrunken versions, are really reluctant to use them to design games.

Now that he heard the good news from Shirakawa Kaede, Iwata Satoshi couldn't wait to get this chip now and try his skills.

"In short, you just know about this matter, and before the chip comes out, you must keep it secret."

"Understood!"

This is a secret weapon, and the newly developed handheld and home game consoles are strategic secrets that must not be divulged.

Shirakawa Kaede decided to give Lao Ren there, a little chip shock.

Don't look at Baichuan Electric and HAL are relatively young, but the two work together, maybe they can put a big satellite.

Chuo-ku, Tokyo, in a traditional Japanese garden.

With the arrival of early spring in March, the shrubs and trees in the courtyard have changed to new green.

The chirping of birds between the branches, and the sound of falling water with bamboo adding water in the garden, all set off the tranquility and Zen beauty of the courtyard here.

Along the quaint stone path to the end, there is a traditional Japanese house.

And just behind the log-colored door in front of me, a closed-door tea party was taking place.

"Sakaguchi-san, the revenue of the cotton textile industry has been declining recently, and the business here in Terada has become more and more difficult."

An elderly man sitting at the top of the room was almost old, and another gray-haired old man beside him lamented the recent difficulties of the family business.

What Terada-san said was that Sakaguchi's textile business had also declined dramatically.

The neon economy is taking off, but the traditional industry is like a pool of stagnant water, and it seems that the traditional light industry has limited potential after all. ”

The old man named Sakaguchi nodded, agreeing with Kamishou Terada's feelings.

These two elders are the oldest and oldest people here and indoors.

The old man at the top is named Eikichi Terada and is from Osaka.

The family was mainly engaged in traditional industries, such as sake brewing, textiles, and transportation, and was considered a small local chaebol in the early Showa period.

However, with the post-war economic reforms, the family business suffered a certain impact, and its influence is now decreasing.

And another seventy-year-old man beside him, named Sakaguchi Heibingya, is from Tottori Prefecture.

His family's business is mainly concentrated in cotton spinning, mining, petroleum, electrical, local banks, energy and financial industries.

In terms of scale, it can be regarded as a small local chaebol, but life is much better than that of Eikichi Terada.

Eiji Terada, who was at the top, took a sip of the teacup, and then swept his eyes and looked at a middle-aged man below and spoke in a low voice.

"Nagata, the development of King Jing today is really enviable.

Whether it is the electric railway, department stores, or real estate, the performance in recent years has been surprising.

Sure enough, compared with traditional industries, the service industry is one of the symbols of today's neon economy. ”

Nagata Masashi humbly bowed his head and said politely, "It's all thanks to Terada-san, and the business of the Keio Group is acceptable." ”

"If possible, let's see what projects the Terada family can work on here.

After all, instead of looking for outsiders, it is better to be more reliable with your own people. ”

For the sake of the development of the family, Terada Eikichi can only personally lower his stature and seek assistance from other groups.

"Definitely," Nagata said politely by bowing his head again.

"And Ogawa-san, if there is a need for the Odakyu Electric Railway Group, please give priority to Terada here."

Kazuo Ogawa, who was cued by Eikichi Terada, could only helplessly put down the teacup and bow slightly.

"Thanks to Terada-san's care, Odakyu will seriously consider it."

"Hmm~" Terada Ekichi nodded with satisfaction, that's it.

Everyone should be their own people, and they should help each other.

If Nagata and Ogawa knew what Eikichi Terada was thinking at the moment.

I will definitely pout my lips with disdain, our Terada's industry has sunset, and there is no possibility of cooperation at all.

Cotton spinning? Sake brewery? How to cooperate, selling cotton cloth and wine on the electric railway?

The so-called cooperation is nothing more than a pretense, and trying to use it as an excuse to attract people to invest money is the ultimate goal.

It's a pity that everyone is a human spirit, and everything is just a show.

At this time, Eikichi Terada, who had just finished tasting tea above, seemed to suddenly remember something.

He put his hands on his knees and leaned forward slightly.

"By the way, I heard that Nagata-san has worked with Shirakawa Electric there?"

Shirakawa Electric?

Nagata and Ogawa, who were muttering quietly in private, both looked up in surprise, and even Boyu Takei, who was pretending to be transparent, began to pay attention to this.

"Indeed, as Terada-san said, the Keio Group and Shirakawa Electric have some cooperation."

Surprise is surprise, but Nagata still answered Eikichi Terada's question quietly.

To be honest, the cooperation between Keio Group and Shirakawa Electric has not been a day or two.

Since a certain initiative last year, the cooperation between the two companies has continued to deepen.

Shirakawa Electric's products are available in every branch of Keio Department Store.

As long as Shirakawa Electric conducts promotional activities, there must also be a voucher from Keio Department Store in the bonus option of the product.

The cooperation between the two complements each other and can be regarded as a real mutual benefit.

But why did Eikichi Terada mention Shirakawa Electric?

As far as Nagata knows, there is probably no connection between the two.

"That's great," Terada Eikichi smiled when he heard Nagata's answer.

It is rumored that Shirakawa Kaede, the founder of Shirakawa Electric, was also born at Meiji University.

Then everyone is their own people, and the next party Nagata Sang might as well bring this Shirakawa Kaede-san over too, and let's get to know each other together.

Maybe we can cooperate with each other in business. ”

"Terada is right, how can a young man go it alone. Only when we communicate more can we benefit development? ”

Sakaguchi Heibing Ya on the side also echoed the exit, and he had heard of Shirakawa Electric recently.

It is said to be an electrical appliance manufacturer, and since it has a bit of a reputation, it must still have strength, and maybe it can also pull some funds to cooperate.

I see, Nagata and Ogawa showed a look of surprise.

This is to see that young man, who thinks that as his predecessor, he can persuade the other party to invest in his own family?

Nagata didn't know what to say about the old man in front of him.

Who can achieve such an achievement at such a young age, who is stupid?

I also don't look at the business territory between each other, whether there is a trace of cooperation.

It seems that this Terada-san is really confused, or not confused, and deliberately pretended to be confused.

If that's the case, Nagata Masa, Ogawa Takeo, and Takei Hirotomo looked at each other in private, all tacitly.

"Since Terada-san said so, then the next contemptible person will definitely tell that Shirakawa-san."

"That's very good" Eikichi Terada's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded with satisfaction.

At this moment, he felt very proud of his decision to organize the exchange meeting.

Look, now that the Terada family needs help, aren't these people in front of them the best choice?

Today, the people sitting in this Japanese-style room have a common feature, Meiji University.

That's right, they all graduated from Meiji.

This is the internal communication circle of alumni, but unlike Eikichi Terada's pride, Nagata has a different mind.
