After a short period of consideration, Hideki Hanyu finally chose an apartment that was not rented out and was closest to Cloud Culture.

After all, it's just for convenience, just to stay temporarily.

A household is built to look beautiful, and it is too troublesome to clean up.

Ask Yoshihiro Yada to help him find someone to prepare the house.

It's just a house to live in when working overtime, how simple and how to come.

After Yoshihiro Yada agreed, he went to help Hideki Hanyu clean up the apartment.

After he left, Eri Kitahara finally couldn't help it.

"I'm curious, how much real estate did Hanyu-san buy?"

Hideki Hanyu thought for a moment, then spread his hands and said, "I can't remember the specifics." ”

"What? I don't even know how much real estate Hanyu-san has invested in. ”

Eri Kitahara's face was shocked, "Hanyu-san should always know how much money he spent." ”

"My property investments are complicated, some are loans, some are paid in full, and some are bought with mortgages."

Hideki Hanyu explains.

I don't know how many properties I've bought, and it's not unusual.

In his previous life, he was in China, and he saw such news a lot.

The old lady went to the real estate bureau to register, took out two real estate certificates thicker than books, and she couldn't count how many houses she had.

Some people buy a house and don't remember it until years later.

Some landlords rent out their houses and forget about collecting rent.

He invests frequently, has a lot of real estate, and sometimes buys a building, who will carefully count how many suites.

Except for the one you live in, plus the shops in Ginza, you don't bother to remember it at all.

There are so many things on weekdays, and the formalities are in his hands.

Otherwise, why ask Yoshihiro Yada to help him deal with it.

Even if the rent is collected, it is basically handed over to the real estate agent, and in the end, only the report is read.

But it's already January, and I think of something that will happen right away, Hideki Hanyu said to Eri Kitahara.

"In two months, when the tax file is filed, there should be an accurate number."

When paying taxes, he must pay property tax, and all his assets will be systematically settled at that time.

At that time, it will be almost clear how many suites he has and how much they will be worth in total.

Eri Kitahara was speechless for a while, and only the tax bureau could help Hanyu Hideki settle the score.

However, she was still very curious, and couldn't help asking, "How much does Hanyu-san have a bank loan in order to buy a house?" ”

Hanyu Hideki thought about it, the last time he took out a loan at Toyo Sogo Bank, that number seemed to be.

"102 billion yen."

"What!"

Eri Kitahara was completely stunned.

If it weren't for the fact that Hanyu Hideki gave her a lot of bonuses and red envelopes last year, she felt that she was burdened with a loan of 200 million yuan, and the pressure was quite high.

After all, just repaying the loan is more than 500,000 yen every month.

But Hideki Hanyu, with a loan of more than 100 billion yuan, the loan repayment alone exceeds 200 million yen every month.

Add to that the property tax, and it's scary to think about.

It took a long time for Eri Kitahara to regain his strength, and he said as if complaining, "I want to lend money to Hanyu-san's bank, and I must be very concerned about Hanyu-san's health." ”

When Hideki Hanyu heard this, he remembered the bank manager in charge of Toyo Sogo Bank and called him if he had nothing to do.

He couldn't help but smile and said, "You really care about me." ”

"Hanyu-san has to pay back at least 200 million yuan to the bank every month, right?" Eri Kitahara asked.

"My loan calculation at Toyo Sogo Bank is complicated, but it will be lower overall than Kitahara-san."

In fact, even according to Eiri Kitahara's calculations, it is not high, and it is just a nod to the head.

Neon business loan interest rates skyrocketed in the 80s, which was something that entered the late bubble.

At that time, in order to control the real estate bubble, the interest rate of commercial loans exceeded 8.5 at one time.

Now this interest rate, Hanyu Hideki does not pay attention to it at all.

Mortgage and property taxes seem high.

But Neon's economy is growing rapidly, and a large number of people are pouring into Tokyo.

The properties he has invested in Tokyo are all popular locations, whether they are office buildings, shops, or apartments, they don't have to worry about renting at all.

Relying on rent can not only smooth out expenses, but also make a small profit.

"Hanyu-san invests in so many properties, aren't you afraid of any risks?" Eri Kitahara asked worriedly.

"Of course I'm afraid, so I'll invest more this year, and I'll reduce my investment in this area from next year."

Hideki Hanyu said.

As soon as the Plaza Accord is signed next year, the big forces of all parties will follow suit.

It is basically impossible to easily buy a property in a good location like now.

He has small arms and legs, so don't compete with those big forces.

His 100 billion loan looks exaggerated in Kitahara Value, but compared to those giants, it is not worth mentioning at all.

During the bubble period, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi relied on the Seibu Group to expand in the real estate industry, and his worth was also more than 100 billion.

But that unit of measurement is the dollar.

That period was also a period of vigorous development of the neon game industry and the film and television entertainment industry.

In order to compete for the market, Genie Entertainment will definitely have to fight with giants such as Nintendo and Sega.

As for cloud entertainment, don't look at the Genesys office that is being suppressed very badly now.

But when the time comes, it's coming.

Coupled with the entry of other capitals, cloud entertainment is also under pressure.

At that time, he will have more things to worry about, and he will not have the heart to focus on real estate investment.

If you really have spare money, you can buy and sell stocks.

Anyway, you can make money by buying it with your eyes closed.

This operation is nothing to Eiichi Kamibo.

After all, dancing on the blade is not his character, and making money steadily is.

Everyone thinks that the development of the cloud system is very good.

But Hideki Hanyu knew that he was just laying the foundation through his foresight.

The bubble economy is both an opportunity and an impact.

Without a little foundation, it is estimated that before the benefits are reaped, it will be washed away.

If you don't have the strength, even if you float up on the bubble.

When the bubble bursts, it will only fall to pieces.

For the cloud, the real challenge is yet to come.

……

After chatting with Eri Kitahara for a while, Hideki Hanyu returned to the studio to continue the development of Super Mario.

Whether it's the game mechanics, the look of the graphics, or the level design.

Hideki Hanyu led the joint development team in every detail, overcoming difficulties little by little, and advancing the development of the game from scratch.

Although there are mature games in later generations as references, there will still be various difficulties in the development process.

But in the end, with his memory and the joint efforts of the members of the joint development team, they were solved one by one without danger.

If the members of the joint development team were initially willing to obey the command of Hideki Hanyu, it was because of his status as the boss.

But after a few days of getting along, everyone found that in addition to the technical aspect, anyone in the development can find the answer to any problem they encounter in Hanyu Hideki.

All the members of the joint development team were impressed by Hanyu's ability and willingly obeyed Hanyu's command.

And when Hanyu Hideki was directing the development of the joint development team, he did not completely copy the original.

The most important reason is that the IP of "Mario Bros." is now under the long-term operation of Elf Entertainment.

Through two games, more than a year of comic serialization, and a linkage with ice cubes.

An extremely mature worldview that has been constructed.

Therefore, in the game, in addition to the original gameplay, you can also clearly see some simple game background stories.

Therefore, compared with the original version, the new version of "Super Mario Bros. Bros. gives players a more sense of game experience".

It's also easier to get players involved in the game.

In this way, Hideki Hanyu was busy in the joint development team during the day, and went back to Shirokanedai to rest at his apartment at night.

A week passed before I knew it.

After devoting himself to his career, the beauties he cared about were left behind.

From this, it can be seen that women are just embellishments in the life of Hanyu Hideki.

The sense of accomplishment that success in his career gives him is far more important than that of a woman.

But he doesn't care about beauty, beauty cares about him.

As soon as the clock turned, it was January 16th.

When Hideki Hanyu left the joint development team, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Compared to the first few days, the end of work has been noticeably earlier than in the first few days.

It's not because there's less work or because it's easier.

In order to catch up with the release of GAME BOY, the development cycle is very tight.

Monthly, weekly, daily work plans are arranged in advance.

Never leave work until you're done.

The difficulties encountered in the development have not been reduced at all.

The reason why the end of work is getting earlier and earlier.

It's all because everyone has worked for so many days, and the cooperation has been extremely smooth.

The speed of completing the plan has become faster, and the speed of solving difficulties has become faster.

So naturally, the time to leave work is getting earlier and earlier.

At this rate, it won't be long before leaving work at normal times won't be a problem.

At that time, everything is on track, and Hideki Hanyu doesn't need to come to the joint development team every day to keep an eye on it.

As soon as he walked out of the office, Hideki Hanyu was about to go back to his apartment to rest.

only to see the assistant Reiko Uemura waiting for him outside the door.

Hanyu Hideki hurriedly asked, "Uemura-san hasn't gone back so late, is there something wrong with me?" ”

"I have something to look for Hanyu-sensei." Reiko Uemura replied.

"Then why don't you go in." Hideki Hanyu asked.

"It's not a work thing."

As she spoke, Reiko Uemura handed a piece of paper to Hideki Hanyu.

"This phone number is in contact with Hanyu-sensei today."

Hideki Hanyu took it and instantly understood everything.

This phone number is the phone number of Minato Apartment.

"I know, this kind of thing will come to me directly in the future, it's okay."

"Yes, Hanyu-sensei."

"It's so late, let's hurry home."

……

Leaving Cloud Entertainment, Hideki Hanyu did not return to Shirokanedai this time, but drove to his apartment in Minato Ward.

When he entered the apartment, he didn't see Liu Xiaoli.

When I went up to the second floor, I heard music coming from the dance studio.

When I walked to the door, I found that the beauty was indeed dancing inside.

That slender figure, dancing lightly, is really pleasing to the eye, and people can't bear to look away at it.

Liu Xiaoli didn't notice Hideki Hanyu at first.

When the song was over, she turned back to change the tape, and finally saw the person standing in the doorway.

When even rushed over happily and threw himself into the arms of Hanyu Hideki.

But then, she hurriedly took a step back and said embarrassedly.

"Got your clothes dirty."

After practicing dancing for so long, she has been sweating a lot.

Just now he threw himself into Hideki Hanyu's arms, and suddenly a lot of it was stained on Hideki Hanyu.

Hideki Hanyu took the beauty back into his arms and said nonchalantly.

"It's okay, I like the way you just looked."

But when Liu Xiaoli heard this, she complained coquettishly, "I don't know how to contact me if I like it, I've been back for a few days." ”

After returning to Tokyo from the tour, Liu Xiaoli found that Hideki Hanyu had not come to her.

I thought it was just a temporary thing, but I haven't seen anyone after three days.

When I asked the reception staff of the association, no one knew.

After all, how can his subordinates know the whereabouts of a big man like Hanyu Hideki.

Without Hideki Hanyu's help, she wouldn't have been able to leave the troupe easily.

has survived to this day, and she really thinks about Hanyu Hideki's tightness in her heart.

I contacted Reiko Uemura through the association and left the phone number of the apartment.

sneaked out of the hotel where the troupe was located, and finally came here.

Sure enough, I still waited for Hanyu Hideki.

"I've been working lately, and I can't get out of it."

"Busy?" Liu Xiaoli asked with concern.

"Of course it's busy, if you're not busy, how can you make money to support you, so that you can buy beautiful clothes and live in a beautiful house."

Hideki Hanyu shaved the beauty's nose.

"Honey, hard work." The beauty hugged Hideki Hanyu.

"Just know that I'm working hard, you're sweaty, I haven't taken a shower after a busy day, so I'm just going to take a shower together."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he picked up the shy beauty and walked upstairs.

In the apartment that night, the sound of the waves crashing on the embankment in Tokyo Bay was also heard.

……

On the second day, the refreshed Hideki Hanyu said goodbye to the beauty and continued to work at Elf Entertainment.

However, when he left, he also agreed, and he would go back to his apartment in Minato Ward to rest in the evening.

After all, the other party will stay in Tokyo for two more days, and this overseas tour will be over.

Of course, he has to spend more time with each other in this last time.

In this way, he lived back and forth between Elf Entertainment and Minato for two more days.

When the time came to the nineteenth, Hideki Hanyu took time out to personally send the song and dance troupe to the plane as the person in charge of the event.

Say goodbye to the beauty reluctantly.

After a brief time together, Hideki Hanyu thought he could get back to work.

But the next day, a phone call from the Neon Literature Promotion Association forced him to put down his work.

One of the most prestigious awards in the neon literary world, the Naoki Award.

The winners of the 1983 edition were announced.

Hideki Hanyu defeated the other nominees and won the award for "Summer Travel, Kikujiro's Story".

At the age of 22 years and six months, he surpassed his predecessor Chiyo Tsutsumi, who won the prize in 1940, and became the youngest winner in the history of the Naoki Literary Prize.

As the saying goes, "one stone stirs up a thousand waves".

Although only a matter of literature.

But because of Hideki Hanyu's unprecedented national favorability and the gimmick of the youngest winner.

So when the Neon Literature Promotion will announce the winners.

After winning the Kate Greenway Award, Hideki Hanyu once again became the object of heated discussion in neon public opinion.

On the TV news and in the print media, there was a lot of talk about Hideki Hanyu's award.

Some analyze the reasons for winning the award, some praise Hideki Hanyu, and some are optimistic about Hideki Hanyu's future development in the literary world.

It is not clear to the media with previous experience that as long as Hideki Hanyu's name is in the news, the ratings and circulation will definitely increase.

Taking advantage of the high news heat, of course, everyone must catch Hideki Hanyu, the national darling, and rush to the performance.

Of course, it's just that the reports are like this, and if you get an exclusive interview, the effect can be imagined.

In the anticipation of Hideki Hanyu's fans, all the media are looking for Hideki Hanyu.

Even if Hideki Hanyu hid in the studio, he still couldn't hide from it.

On the cloud culture side, the phones of various media are almost ringing non-stop from morning to night.

Compared with cloud culture, cloud entertainment is more seriously "harassed".

After all, in the entertainment industry, you often have to deal with the media.

At this time, you can't hide if you want to.

Even like Hong Kong Haoyi, who has a good relationship, went directly to the door to block people.

Fortunately, after Liu Xiaoli left, Hideki Hanyu returned to live in Shirokaneda's apartment.

didn't let Hong Kong Haoyi block it.

But people dodged, but phone calls, pager messages couldn't dodge.

In this kind of all-weather, no-blind "harassment", Hanyu Hideki can't concentrate on work at all.

There are so many people to invite, and if they all are interviewed, he won't be able to work for the next few days.

Finally, after consulting with Shogakukan, he decided to hold a press conference on the 24th.

All media are invited at once.

The press conference was then broadcast by several private TV stations such as TV Tokyo and Fuji TV.

In the history of the Naoki Awards, the winner made such a big move, and Hideki Hanyu is the first one.

On the 24th, the media hall of the Shogakukan building.

Hideki Hanyu was making the final preparations before taking the stage.

Reiko Uemura, an assistant, is helping him check his makeup and tidy up his clothes.

The staff of the Shogakukan explained some of the questions that should be paid attention to in the interview and that need to be avoided.

It can be seen that everyone attaches great importance to this press conference.

This made Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but say, "Relax, I didn't feel anything before, but now I'm a little nervous." ”

"There are so many media outside, and there will be live broadcasts, so Hanyu-sensei can't make mistakes."

Reiko Uemura advised.

"Don't worry, this isn't my first time here." Hideki Hanyu said.

"Has Hanyu-sensei been here before? How I don't remember. ”

Reiko Uemura has been an assistant to Hideki Hanyu for so long that she doesn't remember that Hideki Hanyu ever held an event here.

"When I first made my debut as a writer, it was here that I received the Shogakukan Picture Book Award."

Hideki Hanyu glanced into the hall after speaking, and said with emotion, "It's been three years, and the decoration hasn't changed at all." ”

"It turned out to be the award ceremony, and Iijima-san and I were still watching the replay on TV at that time."

Reiko Uemura said, taking out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from her bag and putting them on for Hideki Hanyu.

Then after taking a closer look, he said, "Although three years have passed, Hanyu-sensei's appearance has not changed at all. ”

On an occasion like today, Hideki Hanyu is naturally dressed in a formal suit.

With gold-rimmed glasses and a meticulous hairstyle, it is almost exactly the same as the look of three years ago.

"Really? I hope that fans will see the live broadcast and not think that it is just a video. Hideki Hanyu joked.

"Maybe it's really a misunderstanding." Reiko Uemura said.

While the two were talking, the time for the press conference had arrived.

"Friends from the media, please let us welcome the winner of this year's Naoki 35 Prize, Hideki Hanyu."

In the host's introduction, Hideki Hanyu walked up from the next step of the stage.

Handsome face, gentle temperament, plus a slender and straight figure.

Such a young talent, with the aura of the Naoki Award, immediately made the media press the shutter without hesitation.

The flash instantly lit up as a white light.

In a trance, many reporters felt that the picture in front of them was inexplicably familiar.

Seem......

It seems to be the scene three years ago, when Hideki Hanyu won the award for his debut.

This is true for journalists.

At this time, the fans of Hideki Hanyu who watched the broadcast in front of the TV, especially the fans who have known Hideki Hanyu since the award was presented three years ago.

The same background, the same eye-catching man.

I wonder if the TV station took out the video from three years ago and put it away.

Take a closer look.

Compared to Hideki Hanyu's slightly thin figure three years ago.

Today's Hideki Hanyu is significantly healthier and more powerful.

Although the appearance has not changed much, the temperament has become more calm and mature.

I wasn't a fan of Hideki Hanyu before, but I just inadvertently turned on the TV and saw this scene, and the female audience was immediately fanned by the current Hideki Hanyu.

For female book lovers who are already Hanyu Hideki, today's Hanyu Hideki is undoubtedly more attractive.

In Osaka City, Hideki Hanyu's senior housewife fan Koharu Ikawa was also watching the live broadcast at this time.

In three years, he accompanied Hideki Hanyu from immaturity to maturity.

Looking at Hideki Hanyu on the TV.

In addition to liking it, I have more of a sense of "cultivation" in my heart that only idol artists have.

This also made her even more obsessed with Hideki Hanyu.

I don't know when this year's signing will be held.

When the time comes, be sure to make an appointment in advance, and then give her a carefully prepared gift.

And soon, Ikawa Koharu learned the news he wanted to know at the press conference.

"Thank you very much to the Neon Literature Promotion Association for recognizing me, and thank you very much to the book lovers who have always supported me......"

Hideki Hanyu after finishing the formulaic opening.

Started being interviewed by the media on the spot.

Soon, a media outlet asked Hideki Hanyu, "Mr. Hanyu, after winning the Naoki Award, do you have any plans to publish new works this year?" ”

Hideki Hanyu replied, "In April, I expect a new work to be published, and it will be an attempt at a new genre. ”

The reporter asked, "What is the type of Hanyu-sensei's new work?" Will there be serialization? ”

Hideki Hanyu replied, "The new work is a story about love, and it will not be serialized, and I will start this year's neon tour after the release." ”

The reason why he didn't agree to serialize was because Hideki Hanyu deliberately did it.

Negotiations with Shogakukan continue.

With the worst-case outcome, if it is really not negotiated, but just released, it will be the same regardless of which publishing house you choose.

If it can be serialized, it will be released in April, and it will start serialization soon.

If you cooperate with Shogakukan, you will be passive in negotiations.

If you don't cooperate with the Shogakukan, there will be no need to negotiate.

As for the work he is going to publish.

In this day and age, after thinking about it, I still think that "Love Letter" is more suitable.

It seems to be a tragedy, but there is regret in the deep affection, but the faint sadness in the book is extraordinarily warm and romantic.

It can be a good continuation of his creative style.

After repeated interviews, the reporters got what they wanted, and the press conference ended smoothly.

For the media, Hideki Hanyu said at a press conference that he wanted to try a love story.

It is undoubtedly news that deserves to be written about.

For Hideki Hanyu's fans, who are mostly women, Hideki Hanyu wants to create a love story, and all he thinks about is anticipation and excitement.

Countless female book fans fantasize about what kind of love story Hideki Hanyu will bring to them.

And even more excited, of course, there are a number of publishing houses.

It's no secret in the publishing world that Hideki Hanyu is in contract renewal talks with Shogakukan.

Even if the Shogakuan wants to hide it, the negotiation team of Cloud Culture will release the news in private.

Although it is only a negotiation of the right of first refusal for picture books, everyone knows what the renewal represents.

No one wants the renewal to be successful.

And the new work revealed by Hideki Hanyu at the press conference this time immediately became an important weight.

Shogakukan's winning of the distribution rights for the new work is equivalent to announcing the success of the contract renewal negotiations.

If other publishers win the distribution rights of new works.

Basically, it is to tell the outside world that they have succeeded in digging the corner of the primary school hall.

So when the press conference of the Ministry of Information ended, this new work was immediately chased by many neon publishing houses.

Everyone didn't even read the manuscript of the book, so they made all kinds of exaggerated cooperation conditions.

In the eyes of these publishers, it doesn't matter if they lose money when they publish this book, and the most important thing is to get the opportunity to cooperate with Hideki Hanyu.

Think of Hideki Hanyu's series of picture books, the Magical Snack Shop series and bestsellers, their own place in the literary world.

It's impossible for publishers in the industry to give up.

And all of this is what Hideki Hanyu and the culture on the clouds want to see.

The reason why a new work is announced at a press conference, or even a press conference.

That's what we are looking for.

In the face of the surging attack of peers, the Shogakukan undoubtedly fell into a huge passivity.

I can only negotiate while competing with my peers for the distribution rights of Hideki Hanyu's new works.

In this situation, the already difficult renewal negotiations have become even more difficult.

It is enough to describe it as worse.

However, the outside world has been disturbed, and the team with its own cloud culture helped Hanyu Hideki deal with it.

After the press conference, Hideki Hanyu, who instigated the entire neon publishing world with a new book, re-engaged in the development of "Super Mario Bros.".

However, in his spare time, Hideki Hanyu still has time to rush the manuscript.

For his new work, there was so much excitement outside.

Publishers compete, book lovers look forward to it.

He can't wait for the dust to settle, and he can't even get the manuscript out.

In this kind of busyness, the time entered February.

The tussle between Hideki Hanyu and the publishing houses continues.

But it does not affect the step-by-step development of Elf Entertainment.

Tetsuya Aragaki and Yuji Horii's testing of the GAME BOY handheld third-party development machine has finally been completed.

This development machine system was named the "Elf Scepter" development platform by Tetsuya Aragaki.

All of Genie Entertainment's studios will be using the "Genie Scepter" development platform to begin porting games.

The joint development team, as well as the second development team of Fantastic Studios, will also use the "Elf Scepter" development platform to develop games for "Super Mario Bros. and Pokémon Red Green".

After completing the testing of the "Genie Scepter" development platform, Tetsuya Aragaki led the neon hardware department to invest in the development of cassette lock chips and the next generation of modular arcade machines.

At the same time, the research and development of memory-capable cartridges in cooperation with Toshiba also announced a phased breakthrough.

With the help of a coin cell battery, the game cartridge was successfully stored and retrieved.

According to Toshiba's tests, only one CR2032 coin cell battery is needed to allow the cartridge to store information for at least 16 months.

And this is only a test, and if it is actually used, it will probably take longer than that.

The successful development of the memory cartridge is definitely good news for Tajiri, who is working on "Pokémon Red and Green".

After all, being able to save many of his game mechanics will be able to fulfill.

However, after the successful development of the memory cartridge, an interesting thing happened.

That is Fujio Masaoka, the director of the "Shining Research Institute", who gave a series of "objective" bad comments after seeing the new cassette.

The read and write speed is slow, the battery replacement is troublesome, the storage capacity is limited, and the storage content is easily lost once the battery is powered off.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu knows these questions.

But he is already very satisfied that this era can be done to this point.

The memory cartridge of the previous life also could not solve these problems.

However, Fujio Masaoka said that if he was given half a year, he would be able to use flash memory technology to help Hanyu develop a more reliable, convenient and battery-free memory chip.

But Hanyu Hideki thought about it and refused.

First, there are already cassettes that can be used, so there is no need to waste valuable time and money on the Institute.

Second, new technology represents a new production process.

Genie Entertainment doesn't have the strength to play so big now.

If you want Toshiba to help, it is even more impossible for Toshiba to invest heavily in a new production line for Elf Entertainment.

And until low-cost flash memory technology is developed, none of the advantages that Fujio Masaoka said are important in terms of cost.

After rejecting Fujio Masaoka, Koji Takida, the editor-in-chief of Game Base magazine, approached him again.

It's already February, and the 2nd Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Exhibition has also entered the preparation period.

Last year, there was also the help of Elf Entertainment, and this year only "Game Base" was held independently.

In addition, there was no award and award presentation last year.

Koji Takida was a little uncertain in his heart, and wanted to ask Hideki Hanyu to help guide him.

After reading the plan, Hideki Hanyu said to Koji Takita.

"The plan made by the editor-in-chief of Takida is very good, and I don't have anything to guide, so I just follow the plan."

"Doesn't President Hanyu personally guide you? What if something goes wrong? Koji Takida said.

"If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake, there is no perfect thing in this world, don't be afraid of making mistakes, only if you know where the mistake is, you will have the opportunity to correct it."

Hideki Hanyu is not a nanny, so it is impossible to meddle in everything.

"Game Base" has developed very well, and now it is the most authoritative and most circulated game magazine in Neon.

Takida Koji wants him to guide, but he is afraid of the consequences of making a mistake.

His words can be regarded as a support for the other party.

Let the right person not be afraid to do anything because he is afraid.

"I see."

Koji Takida received the support of Hideki Hanyu, and immediately developed a lot of confidence and left happily.

The place where the two talked was in Eri Kitahara's office.

After Koji Takida left, Hideki Hanyu asked Eri Kitahara directly.

"What preparations does Genie Entertainment have for this year's Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Show?"

Eri Kitahara replied, "We are going to bring five games to the exhibition: Tetromino, Mario Doctor, Hot Blood, Kung Fu 2, and Duck Hunting." ”

"The lineup is very strong, Kitahara-san is planning to steal the limelight from Nintendo."

Hideki Hanyu joked.

When Eri Kitahara heard this, he didn't laugh at all, but sighed and began to speak.

"Nintendo's FC console is too strong, they ......"

Next, Eri Kitahara talked about Nintendo's recent developments.

At the end of last year, Nintendo took advantage of the hardware failure turmoil to implement all the recall strategies, and established a good reputation among players in one fell swoop.

Then the sales skyrocketed, and the latest sales of FC consoles have exceeded 1.6 million units.

It also gave birth to two games with millions of sales.

The console market, which was originally a scuffle of neon, has been dominated by Nintendo.

Originally, like Eri Kitahara, a third-party game developer who was dismissive of FC consoles.

Faced with the temptation of profits, they didn't care about Nintendo's harsh royalty system at all, and began to throw themselves into the arms of Nintendo.

With the addition of other third-party software developers, Nintendo is not so interested in Genie Entertainment.

And a full-fledged home console brings Nintendo more benefits.

For example, at the beginning of the year, they launched a compatible machine jointly developed with Sharp.

In layman's terms, this is a TV that integrates the FC host.

Due to Sharp's specially tailored video output signal, the picture effect of the compatible machine is far better than that of the FC host output to the TV through the connection cable.

According to information from arcade dealers, Nintendo is also developing a new generation VS arcade system based on the FC console.

In the end, Eri Kitahara said, "I'm under a lot of pressure right now, and someone in the sales department has suggested that we should resume negotiations with Nintendo." ”

As he spoke, Eri Kitahara gritted his teeth a little, "At that time, I almost fired the guy who made the suggestion. ”

Hideki Hanyu advised, "The people in the sales department don't know about our plans in America, so it's not surprising to say that this kind of suggestion is made. ”

"Of course I know, otherwise it wouldn't have been a handicap, but a real dismissal." Eri Kitahara said.

Then she glanced at Hideki Hanyu, who had a calm face, and asked curiously, "Is there no pressure on Hanyu-san?" ”

"Of course there is pressure, but it can be bearable, after all, the current situation is still in my expectation."

Seeing that Eri Kitahara was still full of sadness, Hideki Hanyu smiled and continued to convince him.

"Kitahara-san relax, if there is so much pressure now, when we compete directly with Nintendo in America in the future, Kitahara-san may not even be able to sleep."

Hanyu Hideki clearly remembers that the Nintendo console sold more than three million units in the first year of Neon's release.

But that's nothing compared to sales in America.

After Nintendo landed on America, it changed its name to the FC console of the NES, and sold one million units in the first month in New York alone.

The total sales volume reached 33 million units.

The total global sales exceeded 60 million units.

After 1985, the success of the FC console helped Nintendo earn more than half a billion dollars in net profits from the world every year.

After Nintendo's stock entered the Tokyo Stock Exchange, it rose to the point that it could not be displayed on the monitor.

Compared to the current situation when FC consoles are beginning to emerge, these are the real pressures.

That's why Hideki Hanyu wants to take the lead in the American market.

Because he understands that as long as he takes the American market first.

With the influence of America in this era, it is easy to radiate products to the whole world.

If you want to learn from Sega, you must fight to the death in Neon and Nintendo.

Instead of being able to catch up with Nintendo's first-mover advantage, it will surprise the snake.

But he couldn't say these words to Eri Kitahara.

Even if it is said, it is estimated that it will only make Eri Kitahara more stressed.

This friend of his, without doubt, is a very good manager.

But there is still a limit to ability.

Whether it is under pressure or strategic vision, there are limitations unique to women.

In his mind, he briefly returned to Neon on New Year's Eve, and then went to Satoshi Iwata in America a year later.

It is more suitable to be at the helm of elf entertainment.

However, although Satoshi Iwata has made rapid progress, he has not grown enough.

In a short period of time, Elf Entertainment still needs him to control the overall situation.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu said to Eri Kitahara, "Instead of worrying, Kitahara-san should think about the layout of the exhibition in advance, I will definitely stay in the joint development team recently, but I don't have time to worry about this matter." ”

"Don't worry, Hanyu-san, although I am under a lot of pressure, I will not delay my business, and I started preparing for the exhibition last week."

Eri Kitahara said.

"That's good, Kitahara-san shouldn't have too much pressure, Nintendo is developing very well now, but we are well prepared, Kitahara-san doesn't trust others, don't you still believe me."

Hanyu's tone was full of confidence.

Nintendo's development is very worrying, but with foresight, he has been working hard to drag Nintendo back.

A number of ace games that originally belonged to Nintendo.

The producer who originally helped Nintendo develop the game.

Now most of them have been cut off by him.

Even "Super Mario Bros.", which helped Nintendo fight the world, will be taken down by him.

Even at a critical moment, it is okay to let Sega's "Sonic the Hedgehog" come out early.

After all, the elf console under development has a configuration that fully meets the needs of this game.

With all kinds of means, Nintendo still wants to develop smoothly in America like in its previous life.

It's definitely impossible.

Defeating the elf host won't be as easy as it is against Sega.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu has more confidence in the future decisive battle.

But faith alone is useless.

It's still necessary to take action and develop Super Mario Bros. first.

Therefore, he didn't say anything to Erido Kitahara again, and continued to go back to the studio to be busy.

It's just that he hasn't been in the studio for a few days, and Asako Hirohashi called him to Cloud Entertainment on the phone.

Cloud Entertainment, President's Office of Asako Hirohashi.

After Hanyu Hideki entered the door, he saw that in addition to Asako Hirohashi, Iijima Sanchi was also there.

He thought that Iijima Sanchi was reporting to work, and he didn't care, and joked directly to Asako Hirohashi.

"I have a bunch of things to be busy in Elf Entertainment, all because Asa Zi-san said that there was good news, and Asako-san must not say that there is bad news in addition to good news."
