Chapter 291: The Inertia of History

Hotel lobby.

Hideki Hanyu walked out of the elevator with his bodyguard.

Today, he is dressed in a rather casual style, with light-colored short sleeves and slacks, and his hair scratched casually, looking very energetic.

There are no glasses on the bridge of the tall nose, which is a little less elegant and mature, and a little more youthful and masculine.

Coupled with the reason for regular exercise recently, the body looks strong and straight.

At a young age, he looks like a college student, and he's the kind of boy who joins a sports club.

Even Europeans and Americans with aesthetic differences will feel that he is a handsome guy when they see the current Hanyu Hideki.

At least that's how Monica Bellucci, who was sitting on the couch in the hotel lobby waiting for Hideki Hanyu, felt that.

is worth hundreds of millions, and the appearance condition is so good.

It's a Pacific Ocean stronger than those pot-bellied, disgusting and greasy old men.

That's the perfect goal for her.

Seeing Hanyu Hideki coming out, she hurriedly got up and greeted her.

"Sir, I have communicated with Boeing for the detailed itinerary, specifically ......"

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Hideki Hanyu raising her hand.

"You don't need to report the details specifically, you go with me, and you can remind me when the time comes."

"Can I come along?"

"Of course, you're my secretary."

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, Monica Bellucci was happy.

But he said, "But I didn't prepare anything." ”

"There's only two days, what else do you have to prepare? If you don't have anything, it's too late to buy it there, and Seattle is not a wilderness town. ”

Hideki Hanyu looked at his watch after speaking, "It's almost time, let's go." ”

Next, the group headed to the San Jose airport.

Under the arrangement of Boeing, a brand new Boeing 767-200ER was sitted.

Seattle is located in the state of Washington on the north coast of America.

From San Jose, the flight takes more than two hours.

As soon as the plane took off, Boeing's entourage began to introduce Hanyu to all about the plane.

By the way, I also took Hideki Hanyu into the cab for a tour.

The plane he is flying on now is a passenger version.

Therefore, during the introduction, the accompanying designer also explained to him how to transform the interior if it was customized.

Although the space of the 767 is not as large as that of the wide-body 747.

But for a business jet, it's still a big plane.

According to the designer, the customized aircraft can fully accommodate bedrooms, dining rooms, meeting rooms, offices, bars, etc.

Taking a shower on an airplane is routine.

As long as Hanyu is willing to pay for it, the gap between the upper and lower price limits for private jets is huge.

Hanyu Hideki also knows this, and later generations often read reports that which rich man customizes 747 for only tens of millions of dollars.

But some rich people changed a smaller 767, but it cost more than 100 million.

It can only be said that the price of private jets cannot refer to the mass purchase price of airlines at all.

How much it depends entirely on what the buyer wants.

After all, if you buy a Porsche, you can choose any configuration, and the price can be more than doubled.

Not to mention the configuration of a customized aircraft.

Fly all the way to Seattle.

Hideki Hanyu was arranged to stay in the hotel first, and then made a little preparation, and went to buy formal clothes with the female secretary who didn't bring anything.

Then have dinner with Boeing executives who greet him.

The first day of the trip is over.

Someone will pick him up tomorrow morning and visit Boeing's headquarters and assembly plant.

At that time, the preliminary design plan will be determined, and as long as Hanyu Hideki roughly agrees, he can pay the intent money.

But after leaving the restaurant on Lake Union, where the food wasn't to his liking, Hanyu didn't return to the hotel.

"Boss, aren't we going back to the hotel?" The female secretary asked.

Hanyu Hideki glanced at Monica Bellucci, who was asking, and the other party was wearing a long dress she had just bought, with a silver slim fit and graceful appearance.

The black hair that fell over the shoulders was blown up by the evening breeze, and the strands of hair slid through like flowers, showing all kinds of style.

"Have you been to Seattle before?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Nope." The female secretary replied.

"I don't have either, so I should have walked around, I've heard that it's beautiful to see the night view from the Space Needle."

Then, Hanyu and his entourage headed to Seattle's landmark, the Space Needle.

The building, built in Seattle for the 1962 World's Fair, is more than 180 meters tall.

No matter where you are in Seattle, as soon as you look up, you can see this building with a design full of science fiction elements.

The lights come on at night, and from a distance it looks like a flying saucer suspended in the air.

Once you've climbed to the observation platform at the top of the tower, watch Seattle shine at night.

The female secretary, who saw this kind of scenery for the first time, said excitedly, "Boss, this place is so beautiful." ”

"It's beautiful." Hideki Hanyu echoed.

In the 80s, America still had a bit of the vitality of the golden age.

The space needle at the foot is also well designed.

Of course, under the neon lights, the amorous female secretary is more beautiful.

"Isn't there a view like this in Italy?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Europe is not at all the same as here." The female secretary said.

Hanyu asked again, "Would you really like to stay in America?" ”

"Of course, it's like a new world."

The female secretary did not shy away from answering.

Then she looked at Hideki Hanyu with a charming expression.

"But I'm the boss's secretary, and I'll go wherever the boss goes."

Hey?

Hideki Hanyu's scumbag radar was activated instantly.

Something is wrong with this woman.

To say that he is looking for "Ball Flower" to be a female secretary, and he has no other ideas in his heart, it must be impossible.

But the problem is that he has always felt that Monica Bellucci recommended herself to be his female secretary because she wanted to brush up on her qualifications.

Now it seems that this woman's mind is not pure.

However, Hideki Hanyu didn't mean to follow the other party's words.

"That's not going to work, if I go back to Neon, you're going to stay here and be my liaison."

Maybe it's the ambiguous atmosphere under the neon lights.

Or maybe it's because of a few glasses of wine at dinner just now.

Hideki Hanyu's seemingly straight answer did not discourage Monica Bellucci's offensive.

She finally got close to Hideki Hanyu, and she also seized the good opportunity of going on a business trip together, how could she give up so easily.

The female secretary swayed and walked to Hideki Hanyu, exhaled like an orchid, and said softly.

"Then the boss can't keep me waiting too long......."

At this time, Hanyu Hideki had already determined in his heart that this "ball flower" was afraid that he wanted to eat people.

"It depends on the working hours."

Hideki Hanyu still doesn't take the bait.

How can a scumbag who has been in the bush for a long time easily follow the rhythm of a woman.

After speaking, he didn't give the female secretary a chance to launch an offensive, and directly said, "The night scene is almost over, let's go back." ”

Then without hesitation, he turned around and walked in the direction of the elevator.

Behind her, Monica Bellucci looked disappointed.

The beauty she was proud of had once again been thwarted by Hideki Hanyu.

And also with such a good atmosphere.

……

Following.

Hideki Hanyu went to Boeing's headquarters as scheduled.

After a visit, he had an initial communication with Boeing's designers and set the design requirements for the private jet.

The flight carries more than 30 passengers, and can provide for 15 people to rest at the same time.

In addition to the basic configurations such as bedroom, living room, bathroom, and dining room, he also chose a video room, a bar, and even a small meeting room

Aircraft configuration, safety system, interior decoration, he didn't save money at all, and chose the top configuration.

In the end, according to Boeing's estimates, Hanyu would have to pay $50 million for the plane.

It's cheaper than expected.

It seems that the purchasing power of the dollar in this era is still very strong.

Of course, the cost of various top private jets in some later news also affected his judgment.

After all, Abu Moravitch and Google's Hum Ha Er will show off their private jets in the media all day long, as if he thought it would cost a $200 million to buy a 767.

After handing over the money, Hideki Hanyu ended his trip to Seattle.

The next step is to wait for the formal design to come out and then sign the purchase contract.

Hanyu just had to wait for his private jet to deliver.

He was satisfied.

It's a pity that the female secretary who came with him was extremely disappointed in her heart because of another frustration.

Hideki Hanyu has some clues about this.

But I didn't take it to heart.

An ambitious beauty, and she is so eager, he has seen too much in neon.

Since he saw the reality and purpose, he could take his time and not rush.

……

When Hanyu returned to San Jose, he got busier and busier as he got closer to E3.

He didn't show anything special about the beautiful secretary, and completely used the other party as a subordinate.

This made Monica Bellucci increasingly frustrated and less confident when facing Hideki Hanyu.

And Hanyu Hideki wanted this effect, but he knew that the heat was not enough.

Time flashed, and it was April 15th.

Preparations for the E3 show have begun.

The exhibition was rented at the 1981 Moscone Exhibition Center in San Francisco's South Market District.

The exhibition began on April 20 and ended on the 23rd, with a total of four days.

Although the Genie Entertainment branch is very close to San Francisco, it still went to the pavilion early to start the setup.

In the past two years, Genie Entertainment has accumulated a lot of experience in participating in the International Consumer Electronics Exhibition.

Therefore, when it comes to arranging the booth, Hideki Hanyu doesn't need to worry too much.

And the layout plan of the booth has also been reviewed in advance.

Rather than the exhibition, Hideki Hanyu is more concerned about the news from competitors.

This morning, Hideki Hanyu held his last corporate meeting before E3.

Michael Katz, Satoshi Iwata and other America branch executives were all present.

"Iwata-san, tell me about the recent news of our opponents."

Hideki Hanyu asked Satoshi Iwata.

The work on the E3 battle is now in charge of Satoshi Iwata himself.

Michael Katz is primarily dealing with Americaka's partners.

After E3, the PS console will be fully available.

At such a critical moment, there is no room for error.

Satoshi Iwata flipped through the document in front of him, "Then I'll talk about Sega first." ”

"Yes." Hideki Hanyu said.

Actually, he didn't take Sega very seriously.

After all, the SG1000 host, even if it is remodeled, the performance will not be able to surpass the PS host of Elf Entertainment.

The main thing is that Sega's game library is shabby and lacks third-party support.

In the absence of Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega really doesn't have any ace game that can be mastered.

Unless Sega suddenly explodes, get the MD console out in advance.

Otherwise, even if you have Sonic in hand, the SG1000 console will not be able to run.

However, the great man said well, strategically you can despise your opponent, but tactically you must value your opponent.

So he still wants to hear what small moves Sega has been doing recently.

"According to our information, Sega said when contacting the dealer that it could give the biggest discount on the console."

Iwata's words made Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but smile.

"Sega, is this going to play a price war as soon as it comes up?"

"Quite possibly, after all, it's hard for them to find any advantages other than price." Satoshi Iwata replied.

"I think Sega might as well be our third party." Michael Katz made a joke.

"Isn't the money Sega spent buying Atari in vain?"

Hanyu doesn't think that Hayabusa, who is at the helm of Sega, is a man who will easily throw in the towel.

In another time and space, the sales of SG1000 were even worse than today.

But Sega still didn't give up, and just made the MD console, and Nintendo once divided the world.

At this time, Satoshi Iwata said again.

"According to the latest news, Sega has bundled light guns on the new console this time, just like us, so there is reason to suspect that their main game this time will be a light gun game."

Next to him, Michael Katz heard this, and suddenly felt that the PS console had been leaked.

You must know that the PS console was only released in the first batch of games at this E3 exhibition.

The most popular Super Mario Bros.

"Tennis Open" was developed to highlight the performance of the PS console.

The other is "Duck Hunting", which was ported from the arcade game.

And "Duck Hunting" is also the only bundle game among them.

Now that Sega is also preparing to focus on light gun games, coupled with the low-price strategy, it is difficult not to make people think about it.

"If they do this, could it be that someone has revealed the information of the PS console?"

Michael Katz asked.

"It's unlikely, after all, Nintendo's light gun peripherals are selling very well in Neon now, and if my guess is correct, this time Nintendo's NES console in America will also bundle light guns."

Hideki Hanyu gave a different opinion.

The game market is still in its infancy, and everyone's summary of American games is not in place.

But he knows very well that Americaka's favorite game can be summed up in nothing more than three kinds of cars, guns, and balls.

For example, in the extremely popular RPG game in Neon, in America it is quite unsuitable.

After saying his opinion, Hideki Hanyu asked Satoshi Iwata, "What's the news from Nintendo?" ”

"Nintendo rented the largest booth in the pavilion after us, but they didn't immediately contact the big retailers, and it seems that they intend to do regional sales in the New York area first."

Satoshi Iwata answered Hideki Hanyu's question.

"Interesting, are you worried that we're going to do something?"

Hideki Hanyu turned to Michael Katz and asked, "Will we?" ”

"Of course we will, as long as the supermarket on the PS console is on the shelves, Nintendo's products will never be allowed."

Michael Katz rightly said.

"Then it's obvious that Nintendo is doing this, and they want to sell some results in New York first, so as to impress those dealers."

Hideki Hanyu said.

But in my heart, I was thinking, in another time and space.

Nintendo chose to pilot the sale of consoles in the New York area first because of the impact of Atari and the lack of confidence in game consoles.

But in this time and space, Nintendo is trying to break through in New York in order to avoid the suppression of elf entertainment.

Whatever the reason, the inertia of history is always strikingly similar.

Dead and alive tortured by wisdom teeth, going to see teeth after work, that's all there is to it today.
