"Don't rob, don't rob! It's my turn! ”

"I'm getting a higher score than you this time."

"Stupid! Let's beat my highest score first. ”

"Kurahara-san, can you slow down a little later?"

"The odds of that bar appearing are too low."

"Haha, I'm going to break the record!"

……

Early in the morning, as soon as Hideki Hanyu arrived at the recreation room of Elf Entertainment, he saw the lively scene in front of him.

A group of programmers from Genie Entertainment are surrounding an arcade game machine, fighting for each other and having a heated discussion.

Kurama was standing next to the game console, listening carefully to the advice of these people.

However, in terms of effect, everyone's interest in playing the game far exceeds giving advice to Tibetan Plains.

It can make a game designer play with relish, and enjoy it, but can't make a few constructive suggestions.

It's a testament to how fun and engaging this game is.

And this game is Tetris, which Hanyu Hideki gave to Kurama to develop before.

Of course, here at Genie Entertainment, it should be called 'tetromino'.

"Hanyu-san, why didn't you say a word when you came, the Budokan concert was busy?"

While Hideki Hanyu was silently observing, Eri Kitahara also came to the lounge.

By her side, in addition to following the assistant to the president, Satoshi Iwata was actually there.

However, Brother Cong seemed to be busy reading some documents, and after looking up to say hello to Hideki Hanyu, he hurriedly lowered his head to look at the documents.

"There is one more concert today, with Yoshioka-san staring, I don't need to go every day."

Hideki Hanyu explains.

"This game was developed by Hanyu-san, and it seems that Kurahara-san has done a good job."

Of course, Eri Kitahara knew about the fact that Kurama was developing the game under the command of Hideki Hanyu.

It's just that I didn't expect that Zanghara, who thought that he lacked technical ability and took the initiative to quit the development work, would develop such a popular game.

"I played the game last night, and I think the really good thing about this game is the mechanical design of Hanyu-chan, which is actually not very difficult to develop."

Satoshi Iwata seemed to finish reading the document in his hand and said what he thought of Tetris.

For the words of the head of Nintendo in his memory, Hideki Hanyu expressed his approval.

The most recognized, of course, is the part that praises him.

As for the excellent game mechanics, that's for sure.

Without Tetris, Nintendo's Game Boy handhelds would not have been successful.

At that time, the battle for the license of this game was also a battle for the fame of Nintendo's legal department.

Thinking about it this way, he seems to have made Tetris out, and indirectly picked up a handful of Nintendo's wool.

While they were talking, a group of programmers playing games over there also noticed their arrival.

As soon as I saw the person in charge of the studio, the president, and the president all standing there, everyone suddenly scattered.

Only the original horse came over with a notebook.

"President Hanyu, the development of Tetromino has been completed, I asked my colleagues to try it out, everyone likes it very much, there are no problems with the game mechanics, you only need to modify the difficulty settings, and it will be officially launched."

But after listening to Kurahara's words, Hanyu Hideki said something that made the people around him wonder.

"This game is not in a hurry to get on the market."

As soon as he said this, everyone, including Eri Kitahara, looked at him suspiciously.

Obviously, everyone is wondering, if such a fun game is not introduced to the market, what is it going to do?

Hideki Hanyu smiled slightly and began to explain.

"This game is definitely going to be listed, but before it goes public, I want to do another thing, and that is to ask the company's legal department to cooperate with Kurahara-san to go to the major overseas game market and register the patent."

In my memory, Tetris caused a lot of controversy because of patent issues.

Hanyu certainly doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past.

The most critical problem is that many derivatives of Tetris are not protected by patents due to game mechanics.

Therefore, the patent he asked Tibet to register this time is not only Tetris itself, but even various derivative versions of patents.

Of course, patents can't stop pirates.

He didn't think he could put an end to piracy.

From beginning to end, all he had to stop was his competitors.

After explaining the matter of registering the patent, Zangyuan Ma cooperated with the legal department to prepare the relevant materials.

And Hideki Hanyu returned to the office with Eri Kitahara and Satoshi Iwata.

As soon as the three of them sat down in the office, Eri Kitahara said to Hideki Hanyu.

"Hanyu-san, I'm planning to expand the scale of the Genie Show store."

Eri Kitahara took the document that Satoshi Iwata had just read and handed it to Hideki Hanyu.

"This is my expansion plan."

Hanyu Hideki took it and took a look, and then he knew what Iwata Satoshi was looking at.

Probably flipped through the plan, and the specific implementation was similar to what he had originally formulated.

However, in terms of quantity, Eri Kitahara's ambitions are very large, and he plans to expand the number of directly managed stores, which originally consisted of only nine, to 25.

Thinking that Eri Kitahara had been letting Iwata Satoshi see this plan before, he asked, "Are you planning to let Iwata-san carry out this matter?" ”

"That's right, the modification and development of Takuma Utako has almost been completed, so Iwata-san is just in time to help me run."

Eri Kitahara made no secret of her intention to train Iwata-san.

"What does Iwata-san think of the expansion of the Genie Show store?"

Hideki Hanyu asks Satoshi Iwata.

"I've read the business reports of directly operated stores, and if the loan for the purchase of real estate is removed, the store can already break even."

When Satoshi Iwata said this, he paused in his tone, organized his words and continued to answer.

"In my opinion, it is of course important to rely on the elf show to make a profit, but more importantly, it can most intuitively display the brand image of the elf entertainment, enhance the brand value of the elf entertainment, and its after-sales service can improve the trust of customers in the brand, so I support the expansion of President Kitahara."

"Do you have any other ideas for the expansion itself?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Judging from the revenue report, the proportion of arcade games is decreasing, while the revenue from peripheral sales is steadily increasing, so if you need to expand on a large scale, I suggest that you cut the arcade game hall that costs a lot and keep only the directly operated stores."

Satoshi Iwata replied.

"It seems that Iwata-san has really seriously thought about the elf show, this time about the expansion of the store, please understand it in depth, and I have more important things to hand over to you in the future."

Hideki Hanyu was very satisfied with Satoshi's performance.

I remember the last time I asked, the other party couldn't tell me why the company was going on.

But now, I can see a lot of things.

When Satoshi Iwata finishes the expansion of the elf show, he is ready to continue to train the other party.

And this time, it's not just neon.

In Hanyu's opinion.

If Nintendo only stays in Neon, it will never become the Nintendo of future generations.

The Mario brothers will not sweep the North American box office with a big movie after accumulating a lot of money.

So Genie Entertainment must also go out and seize that fleeting opportunity.

Therefore, in the future, the helmsman of Genie Entertainment must not only master the neon market, but also have an international vision.

"I'll do my best, President Hanyu."

Satoshi Iwata felt that although he enjoyed game development, he was not so reluctant to work in management.

After all, the former can only master one game, while the latter can control the fate of several games.

So when he found out that Hideki Hanyu and Eri Kitahara were deliberately cultivating him, not only did they not back down, but worked hard to improve themselves.

Of course, he did it for other purposes.

Ever since he graduated from university and insisted on joining HAL's small workshop, his father has been reluctant to contact him.

If one day, he can lead Elf Entertainment to success, I think he will definitely be recognized by his father.

Everyone wants to succeed with a variety of goals.

What Satoshi Iwata was thinking, Hideki Hanyu didn't know.

He doesn't need to know.

Because the motivation to succeed is complex.

Some people are for fame and fortune, some are for ideals, and some are for recognition.

He's just a traverser, not Professor X, and there's no way to understand everyone's minds.

Therefore, he just needs to set goals, share benefits, and even draw dreams, so that everyone can work hard for different gains.

As for the process, he didn't care, and he didn't have that much energy to care.

All he wanted was direction and results.

……

Tetris was successfully developed, and the Tibetan original horse accompanied the people from the legal department, brought the materials, and began the journey of overseas patent application.

Satoshi Iwata receives the task of preparing to carry out the expansion plan of the Genie Show direct store.

With the construction and management experience of the previous nine directly-operated stores, Satoshi Iwata's work will undoubtedly be much easier this time.

Before leaving, Hideki Hanyu handed a book to Satoshi Iwata.

Satoshi Iwata looked at the title of the book, Pokemon, and the name of the author, Hideki Hanyu.

He asked curiously, "President Hanyu, is this your work?" ”

Hideki Hanyu nodded.

"It's a very early work, and the book doesn't sell very well."

"What does President Hanyu want me to do?"

"Get to know this book well, after the mass production of Takuma Gezi, I will arrange for Aragaki-san to develop the second-generation electronic pet hardware, and I will need this book as a content support at that time."

"The launch of two electronic pets at the same time will cause conflicts in the market." Satoshi Iwata was a little worried.

"There was a market in a place where Takuma's style didn't fit, and we needed to rely on the help of this book if we wanted to open up there."

Hanyu Hideki smiled slightly, "So I want to ask Iwata-san to understand this book well." ”

"I will." Satoshi Iwata replied solemnly.

……

January 21st.

Picture in the clouds, Asako Hirohashi's office.

"Hey......"

Hanyu Hideki, who happily came to deliver a new song to the Genki girl, sighed after answering a phone call.

Seeing Hideki Hanyu, who had always cared little about anything, looked like this, Asako Hirohashi said with some amusement.

"It's really rare to see Hanyu-san like this, isn't it just a literary award, haven't you also failed to win many awards before?"

"This is the Naoki Award, I still want it, since they can choose two winners, why can't they send me one by the way, I feel ......"

Hideki Hanyu is full of fragmented thoughts of resentment.

The reason why he is so resentful is because as soon as he came to the cloud to screen his paintings, he received a message from the Neon Literature Promotion Association.

Inform him that he regretfully failed to be selected for this year's Naoki Award.

And this year's Naoki Award selected two award-winning works, why can't he be added.

Winning awards in the picture book industry is like picking up things, how did he get to the literary circle, and suddenly it became difficult.

remembered that the neon literature promotion association held a salon before, and he also got acquainted with Haruki Murakami when he went to the party.

At the salon, he and Haruki Murakami had a great conversation, and at the end of the meeting, they exchanged contact information.

Is it because of Haruki Murakami?

As we all know, this guy is not only a perennial Nobel Prize in literature.

In Neon, it is not treated with the Akutagawa Award, which is as famous as the Naoki Award.

Shouldn't he be unlucky because he met this unlucky guy and was infected by the other party, and he will be unlucky with him in the future.

Why don't you find a shrine and burn that guy's business card?

Hideki Hanyu was cranky, and the appearance of broken thoughts in his mouth amused Asako Hirohashi very much.

But after laughing for a while, she still comforted her.

"Hanyu-san, aren't you very interested in Chinese literature, I remember there is a saying that Sai Weng is not blessed if he loses his horse, maybe something good will happen in the future."

"How can there be such an evil door, the words such as losing the east corner and reaping the mulberry elm are just self-deception."

Hideki Hanyu said weakly.

"Hanyu-san, why are you still here, Matsushita Katsuhito is still waiting for you below."

Just when Hideki Hanyu was "self-pitying", Shota Yoshioka found Asako Hirohashi's office.

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he took out a bag and handed it to Shota Yoshioka with little interest.

"Trouble Yoshioka-san to President Panasonic, I have done the song sheet and the sample."

What is in this bag is the new single that Hideki Hanyu prepared for Genki Girls.

The song is called "LOVEペディア (Encyclopedia of Love)".

If the first album, Hideki Hanyu created a music style for Genki girls, it is still relatively traditional and conservative.

With this new single, Hideki Hanyu began to use a lot of synthesizers and boldly experimented with electronic music style.

In Hanyu Hideki's view, since the Genki girl has initially broken the shackles of traditional idols, it must continue to be maintained.

He was more worried than defeated that the Genki Girl was tied down to a route.

If you just want to not make mistakes and maintain the original style, the vitality girl will continue to be popular in a short time.

But the price of not making mistakes is that the vitality girl will be the same as the predecessor group, slowly disappearing from the public, and finally coming to the end of popularity.

If you want to be a unique being, Hideki Hanyu must let Genki Girl try and follow her own style.

Faced with Hideki Hanyu's expression of low interest, Shota Yoshioka took the bag, and then looked at Asako Hirohashi with a puzzled expression.

"What's the situation?"

Asako Hirohashi helplessly spread her hands, "The Naoki Award came over in the morning, and Hanyu-san's work failed to win." ”

"It's really rare to see Hanyu-san care so much about one thing."

Shota Yoshioka also smiled unceremoniously.

"You don't know, but I've negotiated with Shogakukan that if I can win the Naoki Prize, the price of the new book will be increased by at least 500 yen."

"Is it because of money?" Asako Hirohashi made a look of sudden realization.

"Of course, I want the award too." Hideki Hanyu sighed.

He actually knows that the book "Love, Homecoming" is not to the taste of the neon literary circle.

The reason why he was nominated for the Naoki Award is because of sales and the influence of the movie.

Besides, the works shortlisted for this year's Naoki Award are all excellent.

After all, if you can let the award committee lay double yolk eggs, you can imagine how fierce the competition will be this year.

So it's no surprise that he didn't win the award.

It's not surprising, but it doesn't mean he doesn't care.

When it comes to fame and fortune, Hideki Hanyu certainly cares a lot.

"It's okay, Hanyu-san is still young anyway, and there will be a chance in the future." Shota Yoshioka said with relief.

"I hope so." Hideki Hanyu said.

Thank you for the tip.

Late from work, I could have written a little more, but I checked the information and found that there was a big bug in front of me, so I had to revise some of it, and I would explain it tomorrow, and I stayed up late and walked.
