20 May 1991.

Pokeni Co., Ltd

President's Office.

Qing Zhiyuan's irritable voice came from inside.

"How can it be repaired!"

"Damn Ren Heaven!"

HR Akane Ayase, who was only a wall away from him, trembled in fright.

Until now, she had never seen the president lose his temper so much.

Qing Zhiyuan sat on the chair dejectedly, his eyes empty.

Can you not get angry?

I just received a review notice from Ren Tiantian, informing:

[Since the game "Mermaid Heart" does not meet the release standards of Rentendon, we regret to inform you that it cannot be released on the SFC platform.

Please revise it as appropriate before submitting it for review.

- Ren Heaven]

The only consolation is -

Only the word "shoddy" is not added.

At least prove that the quality of the game is okay.

When Qing Zhiyuan saw this notice, the whole person was stupid.

I only felt a chill rush from the soles of my feet to my head, and my whole body felt like falling into an ice cellar.

No way?

Now this kind of thing is happening?

Isn't that fatal?

Pokeni is such a small boat, and it can't withstand any big winds and waves at all.

Every month, the cost of the existing members alone is close to 10 million yuan, and if Ren Heaven doesn't give you a day, then Pokeni will lose blood for a day.

Even the money earned from the Onmyoji series before can't support such expenses.

If you lose too much blood, you will die.

According to Qing Zhiyuan's original plan, "Mermaid Heart" kicked off the first shot, with its game quality and picture level, it is absolutely the best in SFC, and no game can match it in terms of graphics.

Then the mermaid heart can not only earn the development cost of the next game, but also make the name of the void abyss.

After that, the pressure of "Diablo" will be appropriately reduced, and even if it is not made into a galgame game, Qing Zhiyuan is confident that he can shine on SFC.

This year should be the year of Pokeni.

But.

Right now.

The plan was completely disrupted.

……

It's daytime outside the window, and the sunshine in May is just right.

But Qing Zhiyuan only felt that there was a gloom in front of him.

With his understanding of Renten, or the dictator Hiroshi Yamauchi, since the review on the SFC has been tightened this time, it will definitely not be relaxed in the future.

No matter what, it may be difficult for "Mermaid Heart" to land on SFC.

Sat in a chair for a while.

Qing Zhiyuan's eyes moved slightly.

When he looked up, he saw a bunch of heads in the doorway retracted.

A second later, another head poked in from outside the door, and it belonged to Akane Ayase.

"President, are you alright?" Little HR asked with concern.

"No, it's fine." Qing Zhiyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm himself.

"Are you really okay?"

"Hmm. It's really fine. Qing Zhiyuan sighed, "There's something wrong with Ren Heaven, I may need to solve it." ”

"Oh."

Hearing his answer, everyone returned to their workstations.

……

was greeted by the little HR, and Qing Zhiyuan finally calmed down completely.

Even if it is for the sake of the members, they have to find a way to save themselves.

There are several options before him at the moment:

First, directly abandon SFC and turn to Sega's MD, or directly go to nec's PCE host platform.

There are so many galgames on PCE that there will definitely be no problems with auditing when you go to PCE.

But—

SFC is the host of the future.

The era of Renten's hegemony would continue until the appearance of Sony PS in 95.

Second, work hard again to see if I can communicate with President Yamauchi, hoping that he can truly feel the charm of "Mermaid Heart".

No, I'm afraid it won't work to let an old stubborn like Hiroshi Yamauchi feel the charm of the game.

Let's take a look at the plan book for "Mermaid Heart".

……

Ren Tiantian made an appointment for Qing Zhiyuan until 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon, and President Hiroshi Yamauchi met with him.

If you're lucky, you'll probably have an hour.

Or even shorter.

The reason for making an appointment at this point is obviously because Pokeni is a small company, and he Qing Zhiyuan is not a celebrity.

So Yamauchi was only willing to spend the short time before dinner in the afternoon.

Qing Zhiyuan could only give it a go.

……

After arriving at Ren Heaven's building at the scheduled time and explaining her intention and appointment, the young lady at the front desk took Qing Zhiyuan upstairs into a conference room.

After waiting for more than 10 minutes, an old man in a black suit and in good shape came in from outside the door.

With just one glance, Qing Zhiyuan recognized it.

Hiroshi Yamauchi is all too familiar.

It's just that he was a player in his previous life, and he didn't expect to have such a close contact one day.

"I'm Qing Zhiyuan, it's the first time we've met, please take care of me!"

Qing Zhiyuan's body was bent at 90 degrees, and his hands offered the gift he brought.

Hiroshi Yamauchi glanced down and found that the gift box contained two bottles of Moutai.

Neon sake is not cheap, and it sells for about 100,000 yen.

"Hello, I'm Hiroshi Yamauchi."

President Yamauchi bowed slightly, took the gift, and placed it under the chair in the conference room.

The two sides exchanged business cards with each other, and Qing Zhiyuan also clarified the intention of this time.

"That's ......"

Hiroshi Yamauchi's face was not very good-looking.

However, because it was a visit itinerary that had already been arranged, he still sat down to take over the project given to him by Qing Zhiyuan.

Patiently, he flipped through the plan brought by Qing Zhiyuan, and after seeing the picture above, Hiroshi Yamauchi's eyes drooped slightly, and he gently closed the document.

"President Qing, I deeply regret that your company's games do not meet the release standards of Ren Heaven. Please refer to our review requirements. ”

"Of course, we always welcome your continued submission of excellent, high-quality games. But this one definitely won't work. ”

After speaking, Hiroshi Yamauchi looked at his watch, "It's not too early......

"President, you haven't finished reading it yet." Qing Zhiyuan interrupted, "Please read it carefully before making an evaluation."

This game,With unbridled imagination and creativity,Although it's a galgame game,But the persistent and pure love contained in it,It will definitely be able to impress players.,I believe that as long as there is love in my heart,,You will be moved by it.。 ”

Well......

Hiroshi Yamauchi pondered for two seconds, the expression on his face changing.

You can see that you are on the verge of an outburst of anger.

"Ao, I've only read two pages, but I already know how twisted this game is, and how boring it is.

When you made this game, didn't you have any psychological burden at all? ”

"I ......" Qing Zhiyuan opened his mouth, only to feel panicked in his heart.

"I believe, and adhere to the opinion of the company's audit department, that such a game will not be able to land on SFC.

No, as long as I'm still the president of Renten, it's impossible for such a vulgar game to be released on any of Renten's consoles. ”

At this point, Hiroshi Yamauchi's words have been very decisive.

"That's not how our game works." Qing Zhiyuan responded.

Yamauchi Hiroshi stood up and angrily said directly at Qing Zhiyuan, "It's not like this, what is it?!" ”

With a roar of rage, the entire conference room fell silent.

Qing Zhiyuan looked at the 60-year-old man in front of him unacceptably.

I thought to myself, it shouldn't be like this.

"Sorry, rude."

Hiroshi Yamauchi stood up and straightened his clothes.

"I'm sorry, President Ao, you didn't impress me, this game project itself is problematic, and it will never be a game that people can enjoy."

"Ren Heaven will not agree to such a game being released on our platform."

"President! Please give us a chance. Qing Zhiyuan stood up and pleaded.

But Yamauchi didn't respond to him, but opened the door of the conference room and walked out directly.

When he was about to leave, Qing Zhiyuan saw his lips move slightly.

Although no voice was spoken.

But Qing Zhiyuan read his lips-

"Fools who only beg."
