Chapter 254: Sega's Assist
Hanyu Hideki just watched Akina Nakamori argue with his father for a while, and then left with an aggrieved expression.
He just watched from afar, never making a sound or stepping forward to do anything.
Because he understands that there are some things that you can't do if you want to.
Akina Nakamori looks soft and weak on the surface, but she is a soft on the outside and rigid on the inside.
The other party asked the agent and assistant to hide these things, naturally because they felt that these things were "disgraceful" and did not want outsiders to know.
At this time, Hanyu Hideki recklessly went up to intervene, not only could he not help, but it would backfire, making Akina Nakamori feel embarrassed.
Another point is that the neon society is extremely conscious of social distancing.
Not to mention that he is just a boss, even relatives rarely take the liberty to interfere in other people's private lives.
This is someone's housework, and he really has no reason to make irresponsible comments.
And most importantly, even if he could guess what was going on, Akina Nakamori's assistant told him something.
But the specific problem is not clear, and he does not have the right angle to intervene.
Why did Akina Nakamori's father spend so much money.
Why is there no money that Akina Nakamori gave to her mother?
I don't know what he said.
Said Akina Nakamori, don't give money to your family, your family is all vampires.
He doesn't have any identity, and I'm afraid that Akina Nakamori will treat him as a psychopath if he says this kind of thing.
It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, and this is the truth.
But although it was difficult, he had to solve it.
Otherwise, with the character of Little Fat Cai, if you don't toss to the point of your previous life, I'm afraid you won't die to your family.
Now without the help of Kondo's scumbag, the ghost knows how long it will take Akina Nakamori to die.
He didn't have the patience to wait, and he couldn't bear to take a fancy to Akina Mori continuing to be tossed.
So it was up to him to solve it.
He was going to go home to rest, but in order to solve the matter of Akina Nakamori, he could only go to Cloud Culture first.
When I drove into Shinagawa Ward, I saw a half-finished building in the distance before I got close to the Cloud Culture Headquarters.
It is the new office building of Elf Entertainment.
In terms of scale, it is about the same as the new building of cloud entertainment.
It's just that the styling design is a little more complicated.
The building of Cloud Entertainment is only a single building.
The office building of Elf Entertainment is a combination of a twelve-storey building and a four-storey high-rise building.
The two buildings are not directly connected to each other, but will be fitted with a large glass corridor when they are completed.
At that time, the logo of Elf Entertainment will be engraved on the glass corridor.
The high-rise building will be the main office area.
On the ground floor, Hideki Hanyu plans to make a cultural exhibition experience theme center for elf entertainment to receive supporters of elf entertainment.
Due to the responsibility of construction, the construction progress is significantly slower than that of Cloud Entertainment.
It is estimated that there will be no way to settle in by the end of the year.
By the time he looked at the new building, Hideki Hanyu had already entered the office building.
He went straight to the top floor, entered his office, and called Reiko Uemura in.
Something was ordered, and a contact number that had never been used before.
"Regarding the investigation of Akina Nakamori's matter, you can entrust a professional organization, and the speed can be slower, but it must not be discovered, understand?"
Hideki Hanyu finally emphasized to Reiko Uemura.
"I see, Hanyu-sensei." Reiko Uemura replied.
"Go get busy." Hideki Hanyu said.
"Yes, Hanyu-sensei."
After saying that, Reiko Uemura turned around and left Hanyu Hideki's office and closed the door with her hand.
Hanyu Hideki looked at the phone number in his hand at this time, his expression hesitant.
The owner of this call is no stranger, it is none other than one of the leaders of the Sumiyoshi Society in Tokyo, Okoshi Kazushi.
After signing the book sent by the other party before, the other party left him this phone number, saying that if there is anything you need help with, you can call him.
Although he didn't contact the other party after that, Elf Entertainment was still involved with Sumiyoshikai.
All the factories of Elf Entertainment are basically on each other's territory.
Some of the "fees" that need to be paid on weekdays, Elf Entertainment has never been in arrears.
There are also pachinko machines that Genie Entertainment uses its own copyrights to operate in cooperation with other manufacturers, and many in the Kanto region have Sumiyoshi Kai involved.
After all, pachinko is a gray industry in neon, and it is actually very difficult to operate without the participation of violent associations.
Although there are interests involved, they are all open channels.
This is how all Neon clubs operate, there is no problem in essence, and there will be no involvement in private.
According to his habits, he really doesn't want to have anything to do with these people in the shadows unless he has to.
But in order to solve the matter of Akina Nakamori, he can only bite the bullet.
I have to say that in dealing with certain things, these people are indeed more useful than the means on the surface.
Originally, he thought about asking Asako Hirohashi to contact this kind of person through Zhou Fang Yuxiong's relationship.
But there are several layers of relationships like this, and there are too many people involved back and forth.
Zhou Fang Yuxiong is an insider, and he can ensure that he understands the rules.
But there is no guarantee that everyone on this line understands the rules.
When the time comes, someone leaks the news, and I'm afraid that a scandal that is difficult to deal with will break out.
Akina Nakamori is developing well now, and there must be no mistakes.
This is another reason why he did not intervene directly today.
It is certainly pleasant to tear your face, but just for that family, it will make the hard work of cloud entertainment in the past few years be wasted.
Akina Nakamori's career will also be discounted.
In that case, it is better to give money directly.
After all, the resources that Cloud Entertainment has invested in Akina Nakamori over the years, once something goes wrong, it is irretrievable with money.
Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu still dialed the phone in his hand.
After a few beeps, a young man's voice came from there.
"Moximoxi, this is the Kinetic Video Game Center, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Mr. Okoshi and Mr. Shi, my name is Hideki Hanyu."
"Please wait a minute......"
A moment later, a slightly excited voice came from the other end of the line.
"Hanyu writer, is that you? I didn't expect Hanyu to suddenly contact me if there was something I needed help with.
But I'll tell you up front, I'm a poor guy, and if Hanyu was to borrow money, I wouldn't have it. ”
Da Yue and Shi look like a big grin, but in fact, they are thick and fine.
He guessed that Hideki Hanyu suddenly called, and there must be something inconvenient to ask for help.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment of Hanyu Hideki's opening, he deliberately said the last words.
"This call is not to borrow money from Da Yuesan." Hideki Hanyu said.
"It's not a loan, and the fees for the club can't be less, it's all fixed, and I can't accommodate it."
Da Yue and Shi pretended to be confused.
"Actually, this time I am looking for Da Yue Sang, there is something to ask Da Yue Sang, I ...... here"
Hanyu went on to say that he needed help.
Okoshi and Shi were a little worried at first, thinking that a big man like Hanyu Hideki would definitely do a lot of things when he came to him.
I don't know if he has to find a reason to refuse, although he likes Hanyu Hideki's work very much, it doesn't mean that he has to agree to everything.
As a result, when he listened to what Hanyu Hideki said, even if he had never been in shape, he couldn't cry or laugh.
He Okoshi and Shiko were one of the leaders of the Sumiyoshi Society in Tokyo.
He is also a well-known "young talent" in the club.
Ten or twenty years from now, maybe the president will be able to compete for the figure.
As a result, Hanyu Hideki called him for the first time, and asked him mysteriously, but it turned out to be a trivial matter.
"Hanyu writer, please rest assured, I promise to handle this little thing for you as soon as possible."
Da Yue and Shi patted their chests and assured.
He wanted to do it vigorously, and Hanyu Hideki really regarded him as a small person.
Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki hurriedly said, "Don't be too anxious, Da Yue-san doesn't have to be in a hurry, this matter is secretive, and it is the most important thing." ”
"I understand, don't make a noise, don't worry, Hanyu writer, I'll arrange for someone who does things safely and has a tight mouth to do it."
"Then please Da Yue Sang, after the matter is completed, I will be grateful."
"Teacher Hanyu is too polite, in the future, for this kind of trivial matter, you can just ask the assistant lady to contact the younger brother below."
Da Yue and Shi, who was "overkill", couldn't help but say a word in the end.
"I see."
In this way, Hideki Hanyu ended the phone call with Kazushi Okoshi.
The two arrangements were carried out at the same time, and when he came back from America, he would have a clue about Akina Nakamori's affairs.
How to deal with it, it is easy to judge at that time.
After finishing everything, just as he was about to leave, there was a sudden knock at the door.
"Hanyu-san, it's me."
Hideki Hanyu could hear that it was Eri Kitahara's voice.
"Please come in."
Hanyu Hideki's voice fell, and he saw Eri Kitahara pushing the door in.
Then came the voice of inquiry, "Why did Hanyu-san come here suddenly, is something wrong?" ”
"It's just a little private matter, so I didn't want to bother Kitahara-san." Hideki Hanyu explains.
"That's right, that's right, there was something I wanted to call Hanyu-san to talk about tomorrow, and it just so happened that Hanyu-san came, so let's talk about it now."
"What's the matter?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"After I refused last time, Nintendo didn't give up, and they came to us again." Eri Kitahara replied.
"Everyone else is taking the initiative to cooperate with Nintendo, but we are the only ones who have been looking for us, and it seems that they value our games very much." Hideki Hanyu said with a smile.
However, Eri Kitahara couldn't laugh when he heard this, and said worriedly, "We can't be careless, if we keep refusing, I'm worried that it will arouse their suspicion." ”
"Kitahara-san is right, no one will get along with money, Yamauchi Pu is not a simple person, we always refuse, it seems too abnormal."
Hanyu Hideki said and asked Eri Kitahara, "What are the conditions they gave this time, and did they promise that we don't have to abide by the royalty system?" ”
"Of course not, they just agreed that we could produce our own game cartridges, and the royalty would be reduced to half of that of other game developers, but still have to share the copyright."
Eri Kitahara spoke out Nintendo's conditions.
"It's really worthy of Nintendo, this greedy face has really not changed for decades."
Hideki Hanyu sighed in his heart, but said, "It's impossible, we make a lot more money around our copyright than games, and it's really whimsical that Nintendo wants to rely on a game console to share the profits." ”
"I thought the same way, so I refused directly, but depending on what they meant, it seems that the conditions are negotiable."
Eri Kitahara said.
Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki frowned, "Strange, with Yamauchi's character, there is no reason to give in to us one after another, could it be that they noticed something?" ”
As he spoke, he felt a little worried.
I began to think in my heart to see if there was a leak somewhere.
If Nintendo is aware of their plan, it will be necessary to let the FC console enter the America market in advance.
In that case, Genie Entertainment will have to start the battle for America with Nintendo in advance.
But the problem is that he puts all the work related to the development of the host computer in America.
Even the memory cartridge developed with Toshiba is actually only in the form of chips.
The external publicity is also in the name of the third generation of electronic pets.
With a memory chip alone, even he couldn't have seen anything.
As for the "Shining Research Institute", we know inside and out that it is developing the next generation of non-volatile storage technology.
Everything seems to be quite meticulous.
Of course, the more careful the action, the more likely it is to make mistakes.
Once Nintendo has doubts in this regard, it is not without means to investigate clearly.
And even if he hides it well, when the GAME BOY handheld is released, Nintendo will definitely be alert.
It seems that this time I went to Amerika to increase the progress of host research and development again.
Even if you invest all the money you made in America with Poké Balls at any cost, you must speed up the research and development progress.
Once there is a move on Nintendo's side, they at least have the means to fight back.
ONE MORE THING, THAT IS, THE GAME BOY HANDHELD MAY HAVE TO CHANGE ITS NAME.
During the previous research and development, he used the name GAME BOY for the research and development project of the handheld computer because of memory inertia.
Now, it seems that it is still not deceptive enough.
And it's not just because of Nintendo, the aftermath of the Atari impact is still continuing, and now a product related to games is released at this time.
If you don't do it, it will be directly resisted by the subconscious of consumers.
As for the official name of the product, it is not too late to wait until America agrees on it.
"I don't know for the time being, but even if something unexpected happens, I don't think it's because of us, then they just need to offer a tempting enough condition, and it is enough to test the last time, and there is no reason to come to us three times or twice."
Values Kitahara analysis.
"This matter needs to be investigated." Hideki Hanyu said.
"I have already arranged this matter on the day Nintendo came, and I think there will be news in the next few days."
"Kitahara-san is just reassuring, it seems that my worries are superfluous."
Hideki Hanyu praised.
But before Eri Kitahara could be polite, he heard the phone ringing on Hideki Hanyu's desk.
Hanyu Hideki picked up the phone and listened to a few words, then replied, "Let her in." ”
Then I saw the assistant Reiko Uemura walking in with a girl.
It's not someone else, it's Miki Miura, Eri Kitahara's intern assistant.
After the other party entered the door, he greeted him, handed a document to Eri Kitahara, and then said goodbye and left.
When Eri Kitahara opened the document and looked at it, his face immediately turned happy.
He then handed the document to Hideki Hanyu while saying, "It seems that we are worried in vain, and Nintendo is not targeting us." ”
Hideki Hanyu took the document and looked at it, and smiled as well.
"Looks like we're going to have to thank Hayabusa Nakayama."
Hayao Nakayama is the current president of Sega.
In the hand of Hideki Hanyu, this document records a matter that has just been investigated.
With the support of neon IT giant CSK, Hayao Nakayama, who has already bought the Neon division of Sega, has done another big thing.
That is, relying on the financial support of CSK, I don't know how long ago, it secretly acquired the Atari home game console division that was spun off by Warner Communications.
Neon's Sega division not only inherited all of Atari's home host technology reserves, but also obtained all of Atari's hardware R&D personnel.
Although I don't know how much Neon Sega paid for this, it certainly won't be a small number.
Hayayao Nakayama did not pay such a price to help Warner Communications clean up the mess.
According to the data, Sega, which acquired the Atari home game console division, has already begun the development of a new generation of home game consoles.
Not long ago, Hayao Nakayama said within Sega that they are about to launch a new generation of home game consoles from Sega.
And Nakayama Hayao also said that once Sega's console is launched, it will give third-party game developers the most favorable conditions, and there will never be a royalty system as strict as Nintendo's.
Although these words of Hayao Nakayama were internal statements, they did not have any means to hide them from the outside world.
Apparently just want to be heard by outsiders.
Especially heard by third-party game developers like Genie Entertainment.
The meaning is self-evident, I hope they don't rush to the Nintendo side, there are better options on the Sega side.
Hanyu Hideki really didn't expect that at such a critical moment for Elf Entertainment, Sega would suddenly jump out to deliver an assist.
In my memory, after Atari was broken up, it should have been Jack Tramay, the founder of Commodore Computer Company, who bought its home console division.
I didn't expect it to be taken down by Sega in this time and space.
Historically, Sega launched a home gaming console this year, the SG-1000.
However, due to performance reasons, as well as the disadvantages of being a latecomer, it did not cause any trouble for Nintendo.
This is also one of the few examples in Nintendo's history that relies on the performance of the console to defeat the opponent.
Sega's SG-1000 processor is more powerful than Nintendo's FC console though.
However, because of the use of image processing chips produced by Texas Instruments, the output quality of the SG-1000 is poor, and the image performance is far inferior to Nintendo's FC console.
But now with Atari's technology accumulation, I wonder if Sega's SG-1000 will perform better.
Thinking of causing Nintendo trouble in Neon and even holding Nintendo back to America.
Hideki Hanyu wanted Elf Vision to help Sega tailor a graphics processing chip.
Of course, it's just a matter of thinking.
No matter how Sega sends assists, it is also an opponent of Elf Entertainment, and it is impossible to really help Sega.
In the 80s, Hayao Nakayama was able to lead Sega to turn the tables on disadvantage, and he was once inseparable from Nintendo, and he was definitely a hero-like character.
To help such a person develop, is he afraid that Elf Entertainment lacks opponents?
Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu tapped on the document in his hand, "With this information, Nintendo's performance makes sense." ”
"Nintendo contacted us out of the blue, because we were afraid that we would fall into the arms of Sega." Eri Kitahara said.
Hideki Hanyu put down the file and a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "In that case, then let's make Nintendo a little more scared." ”
When Eri Kitahara heard this, his eyes lit up, and he seemed to understand the meaning of Hideki Hanyu's words.
She tried to ask, "What Hanyu-san means is that we can release some attitudes, attitudes to work with Sega." ”
"That's right, it would be a rejection of Nintendo, and it would also make Nintendo stop focusing on us."
Hanyu Hideki said this, his tone was a little anxious, "I hope Sega's console will be launched soon." ”
Eri Kitahara smiled and said, "Then these two families will be inseparable in Neon, and they won't have the heart to pay attention to our actions in America." ”
Hanyu Hideki nodded and said in a serious tone.
"We can even really work with Sega and license some of our games to Sega, so that Sega can hold Nintendo firmly in neon."
Although it is too important to help the other party optimize the host can not be done.
But at the critical moment, in order to win, it is not impossible to raise a little enemy background.
"I understand that as long as the scope of authorization is controlled to neon, it will be fine."
Eri Kitahara understood what Hideki Hanyu meant.
"What to do next, Kitahara-san had better control the rhythm, at this critical moment, I think it's best not to go to Kitahara-san for this trip to Amerika."
Hideki Hanyu suggests.
Hearing this, Eri Kitahara thought a little and understood that her stay in Neon was more important to Elf Entertainment, so he agreed.
"Okay, Iwata-san has communicated with Iwata-san about some of the arrangements for going to America before, and Hanyu-san can find Iwata-san if you need help."
"I remember, it's going to be hard for Kitahara-san again."
"That's what I'm supposed to do."
Next, the two exchanged some things to pay attention to when operating in specific operations.
This kind of operation that provokes the two sides to fight with each other and the elf entertainment fisherman benefits is indeed to grasp the proportion.
If you are not careful, you will not be able to make the 'fisherman', but you will be killed by the 'sandpiper clam'.
In the end, Hideki Hanyu only felt that everything that should be said was said, so he said goodbye and left.
Hanyu Hideki, who had just finished the book signing, returned to Tokyo and had another busy day.
I really didn't have the energy to find other women, so I went back to the house of everything, and I didn't bother to take a shower, so I fell asleep.
……
It's been a long time since I've had such a comfortable rest, and I don't know how long I've slept this night.
It wasn't until he was still asleep that he suddenly heard a cat meow ringing in his ears.
At first he thought he was dreaming.
After all, after the signing began, he fostered Nakolulu in a pet store.
Yesterday was a busy day, and I didn't have time to pick it up.
And since he is leaving for America tomorrow, he can only ask Reiko Uemura to take Nako Rulu back to take care of her.
Who knew that as soon as the cat's meow sounded, it seemed that it couldn't stop.
Instinctively, he raised his hand and reached for it.
"Nakorulu, don't scream, I'm going to sleep a little longer."
He thought he was dreaming, but he was surprised to find that he actually caught a fluffy guy.
After struggling to raise his eyelids, he realized that it was not a dream at all, and the little female cat was really lying next to his pillow.
"Huh? Nakorulu, how did you get back? ”
As soon as Hideki Hanyu let out a confused sound, he heard a series of footsteps, and then the assistant Reiko Uemura appeared at the door.
He said apologetically, "I'm sorry Hanyu-sensei, I just picked up Nako Lulu and came over to pick up some of its belongings, but I didn't expect it to run up directly and disturb Hanyu-sensei's sleep." ”
"It's okay, I haven't seen it for a long time, let it stay with me for a day today, and you can pick it up again tomorrow."
Hanyu Hideki said as he petted the little female cat.
Since last year, he has been working outside the home frequently.
Nako Rulu is either fostered by Yasuko Sawaguchi, at a pet store, or in the care of Reiko Uemura.
The time for one person and one pet to get along is getting less and less, and it is rare to meet, and he still thinks about the little female cat.
"Okay, Hanyu-sensei." Reiko Uemura replied.
"I'm going to rest today, and if Uemura-san is fine, he can also take a day off, after all, he's been running with me for so many days."
Reiko Uemura has followed him for so many days to sign sales, and she has not rested, so it is time to give the other party two days off.
However, at this time, Reiko Uemura said, "Actually, I have something else to tell Hanyu-sensei when I come this time." ”
"Don't worry, Uemura-san will take Nako Lulu downstairs first, I'll take a shower and come down, and I'll talk about it later."
Hanyu Hideki commanded.
"Okay." After Reiko Uemura finished speaking, she picked up Nakorulu and went downstairs.
Hanyu stepped into the bathroom and took a hot shower to relieve the fatigue of a long sleep.
After washing, he changed into a casual home suit and went downstairs.
Seeing that Reiko Uemura was helping Nako Rulu prepare cat food, she inexplicably felt that she was also a little hungry.
So I went to the kitchen to get milk and toast to pad my stomach.
And after Reiko Uemura prepared the cat food, she came over to report to Hideki Hanyu.
"Mr. Hanyu, this morning I received a message from the Huaxia Tanaka Garment Branch that Miss Liu has already chosen a school."
"Which one did she choose?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"Keio University Faculty of Letters, Department of Dance." Reiko Uemura replied.
"Keio school, this is simple." Hideki Hanyu said.
Of the four schools he provided to Ms. Liu, Keio University was the only private university.
If you choose those national universities, you will inevitably have to use some official connections.
Keio University, on the other hand, has a good reputation, but as a private university, sometimes it can solve problems with money, but it is less troublesome in personal contacts.
And it's also an international student, which is a little simpler than a neon student.
Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu went upstairs and took down the business card case, took out a business card and handed it to Reiko Uemura.
"Contact this person, explain the situation, and he will help solve all the problems, and the relevant fees will go to Hanyu Investment's account."
The owner of this business card was met by Hideki Hanyu when he attended a salon in the literary world.
It seems to have a lot of origins, and there are a bunch of titles in the world of education and culture.
In fact, to put it bluntly, he is a broker who is active in high society.
The main business is to help the powerful arrange for their children to go to some well-known universities with their connections, and then collect commissions from them.
In fact, without this kind of person, Hanyu Hideki also has a way to help Liu Xiaoli enter Keio University to study.
But he needs to do the work himself, which is too troublesome.
Although the fee for finding this person is a little expensive, it is better to save worry and effort.
As long as you give money, the other party can help you get everything done.
Hanyu Hideki is not short of money, so he naturally has to choose a trouble-saving method.
"Yes, Hanyu-sensei." Reiko Uemura nodded in agreement.
Then he didn't stay long, and left the house of everything.
On this day, it was rare that no one disturbed Hanyu Hideki, allowing him to rest for a day before leaving.
Early the next morning, Reiko Uemura came to pick up Nakoruru.
And Hideki Hanyu took his bodyguards and went to Haneda International Airport.
Haneda Airport Terminal 2.
In ANA's VIP lounge, Hideki Hanyu and Genie Entertainment meet.
Except for the temporary cancellation of the trip by Eri Kitahara, there has been no change in the technical staff of several hardware R&D departments led by Tetsu Aragaki .
While waiting to board the plane, several people were still discussing technical matters in low voices.
Hideki Hanyu listened to a few words, and it seemed that he arranged to develop the next generation of arcade machines.
He asked curiously, "Aragaki-san, how is the development of the arcade machine progressing?" ”
Before Tetsuya Aragaki answered, he pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "It's not ideal." ”
"What's the problem?" Hideki Hanyu asked.
"I've seen President Hanyu's predictions for the next few generations of arcades.
The requirements of the second generation of arcade substrates are modular connections, easy to replace, and simple maintenance and operation.
The requirement for the third-generation arcade board is to be able to attach a game memory card slot, completely discarding the replacement baseboard, and only replacing the game memory card.
We are working well on the second generation and will be able to come up with samples for testing before the end of the year.
However, the third generation technology still has difficulties, mainly due to the limitation of memory space. ”
Tetsuya Aragaki said, and Hideki Hanyu called him a good guy.
He thought that what Tetsuya Aragaki said was not ideal, referring to the unsatisfactory development of the second-generation arcade machine.
Who would have thought that the other party went directly to the third generation.
Without looking at the era and the development of semiconductor technology, it is still very difficult to realize the third generation of arcade boards.
I haven't seen SNK make the MVS substrate of the 'NEO GEO' arcade machine, it's been in the 90s.
It's a pity that "NEO GEO" was born at the wrong time.
In the 90s, home consoles improved by leaps and bounds, and games that could only be played on arcades could be run on home consoles.
This led to an unprecedented depression in the arcade market.
At this time, SNK used the influence of the "NEO GEO" arcade to jointly develop the NEO GEO home console, trying to enter the battle between Nintendo and Sony.
As a result, its own game was single, the lack of third-party support, and the decline in the profits of the old bank, so it was naturally extremely desolate and finally acquired.
But to be honest, Hideki Hanyu has experienced the "NEO GEO" home version, and the joystick feel is the best experience he has ever played.
There is nothing to say about SNK's technical capabilities, it can only be said that technology is no match for the general trend.
Therefore, Tetsuya Aragaki is also going to the third-generation arcade with all his heart, and Hideki Hanyu must be persuaded to persuade him.
As long as it can make a mature second-generation arcade machine now, Genie Entertainment can basically lie down and count the money until the nineties.
After all, there are too many mature experiences in previous lives to learn from.
For example, in order to quickly occupy the market, SNK launched the leasing substrate business, which knocked competitors to the ground in one fell swoop.
It's a pity that SNK has no market share, and its own game background is too poor, so there is no way to go further.
If this is replaced by Elf Entertainment, it can support a market with its own game library alone.
What's more, what to do after winning the market share, those Internet companies in later generations don't know how many times they have demonstrated.
Even if you lose money, you have to squeeze others to death first.
Then go back and build the platform yourself, and then use the platform to make money.
If all goes well, when all Neon is not directly operated by other game companies, the arcade halls are covered with a new generation of arcade machines from Elf Entertainment.
It's not impossible to mix a Nintendo in the arcade world.
But it's good to make money lying down, but Hideki Hanyu won't lose his enterprising spirit.
The third generation of arcade machines is definitely going to be developed.
In today's era of rapid development of semiconductor technology, Moore's Law seems a bit conservative.
In a few years, the memory barrier that limited the third generation of arcade machines may no longer exist.
Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but chat more with Tetsuya Aragaki .
Tetsuya Aragaki is asked not to be ambitious, and concentrate on the development of the second-generation arcade machine at the same time.
But he did not forget to promise that he would definitely support Tetsuya Aragaki to continue the research and development of the third-generation arcade machine.
The two of them were talking, and it was just time to board the plane.
Another flight across the ocean.
Needless to say, a dozen hours later, the group arrived at San Jose International Airport.
The person who came back to pick up the airport this time was not Satoshi Iwata after all.
After all, there were several of them, and they couldn't sit in a car, so the Elf Entertainment Branch arranged for a business car to come over.
After checking into the hotel, even if he was not sleepy, Hideki Hanyu stubbornly lay down in bed, trying to reverse the jet lag as soon as possible.
But he looked at the ceiling of the hotel room, and it was difficult for him to fall asleep.
Thoughts can't help but start to diverge randomly.
He thought that in the future, the days in Silicon Valley would only increase, and it would not be appropriate to stay in a hotel all the time.
Looks like it's time to buy a house here.
As a rich man, Tiannan and Haibei must have real estate.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to go on vacation and not even have your own vacation private villa.
After thinking about the house, he unconsciously remembered some things about neon.
Asako Hirohashi said that Momoko Kikuchi will make her debut at the end of the month.
In his previous life, Tetsuji Hayashi and Momoko Kikuchi worked together happily, and I hope this time and space can be the same.
Speaking of Lin Zhesi, in fact, it is not the first time to deal with cloud entertainment.
Akina Nakamori's first single at the beginning of the year, "North Wing", one of his career masterpieces, was composed and arranged by Tetsuji Hayashi.
Akina Nakamori also likes Tetsuji Hayashi's music, and has collaborated several times later.
But in Hanyu's view, Tetsuji Hayashi is a palace-level composer of the neon city-pop music genre.
His favorite song in this musical style is "Stay With Me", written by Tetsuji Hayashi and sung by Miki Matsubara.
The song simply sings the glamorous scenery of the glitzy city at night after the neon economy takes off.
Of course, the so-called city-pop is only the definition of later generations, in the eyes of musicians in today's era.
City-pop is just the neon pop of this era.
Later reporters interviewed Maria Takeuchi and her husband Yamashataro, who are also city-pop figures.
Both said they had no idea what City-Pop was at the time.
But when he traveled through the later life, he could clearly feel that the unique music style of city-pop seemed to be starting to make a comeback.
Many people who like to listen to songs in this style are even born after 2000.
And as long as you hear this type of music, don't be alerted.
In my mind, I seem to be able to see this era of glamour, delicate but light, enthusiastic but subtle.
Hanyu Hideki thought in his head, and unconsciously hummed a song that belonged to this era.
To you
yes my love to you
yes my love to you you
to you
……
With a gentle song, Hideki Hanyu fell asleep unconsciously.
The next morning, Hanyu Hideki fell asleep with the sound of singing and rested for the night.
With Tetsuya Aragaki , after half a year, he stepped into the park of the America branch of Elf Entertainment again.
The last time I left, when we had a housewarming party here, many of the buildings in the park had not been built.
This time, the construction of the park has been completely completed.
Compared to Elf Entertainment's headquarters in Neon, there are no buildings that are too tall in the park of the Amerika branch.
The largest office building is only three stories high.
It is a house that looks like a big ship.
Although it does not have the grandeur of the headquarters, it looks suitable when placed in the branch campus.
After all, the environment here is very relaxed, with green trees and verdant lawns, without the oppressive feeling of high-rise buildings in Tokyo.
Although Michael Katz is of German descent, he is not rigid at all, and has the style of a Silicon Valley executive.
When you enter the branch office building, you will be greeted by a huge statue of Pikachu that is taller than a person.
Pikachu, the "big guy", cocked one foot, bent one ear, raised one hand, and grabbed the Poké Ball with the other, making a cute blink motion.
In that way, as if asking the comer, am I cute?
With such a statue placed directly at the door, you can imagine what the corporate culture is.
Walking into the lobby on the first floor, you can't see any workstations at all, and you can see a relaxation area where you can order coffee and eat snacks.
Relaxation area, billiards, arcade games, table football......
A wide range of leisure facilities are available.
It can be seen that many employees are resting inside, some are chatting, some are listening to music alone, and some are pulling others to duel "Kung Fu 2".
Such a scene is not surprising for Hideki Hanyu and Tetsu Aragaki who spent some time in America.
However, some neon employees who came to America for the first time felt a little novel.
Although the Elf Entertainment Headquarters also has a leisure area, there is still a bit of a gap compared to here.
However, we have heard that the new office building will have a large lounge area, which will occupy an entire floor, and will also have an in-house restaurant.
There are even rumors that the owner of Hideki Hanyu wants to build a swimming pool in the new office building, and it is the kind with a jumping platform.
As a result, President Kitahara vetoed it, saying that this idea is too unreliable, and they are a game club, not a gym.
Although it is a rumor, everyone thinks that according to the character of the chairman of the house, this rumor is 90% likely to be true.
"Mr. Hanyu, I didn't expect you to come so early, and I thought it would take a while to get back jet lag."
Just as Hideki Hanyu was looking at the rest area, a voice sounded from the side.
Hanyu turned his head to look and saw that it was Michael Katz.
The other party was holding a coffee cup at this time, apparently just picked up coffee from the rest area.
"I slept well last night, so I came a little early." Hideki Hanyu said.
"Mr. Hanyu is so diligent, and there is a lot of pressure on me as a worker." Michael Katz joked.
"I'm really sorry, as long as there is something waiting for me, I just can't be idle."
Hideki Hanyu pretended to be helpless and spread his hands.
The two chatted a few words, and Hideki Hanyu instructed Tetsuya Aragaki to take people directly to the R&D center to start a series of test work.
He followed Michael Katz to his office to begin a formal work meeting.
