85. Three Kingdoms

Sega Corporation Headquarters.

"What are you kidding? How could we possibly work with Sony? ”

Hayao Nakayama has a strong hairstyle.

Especially the long hairs on the top of the head, as if they would be blown up by the wind in the next moment.

Mainly because of baldness, Nakayama specially kept his hair long and combed it to the side to hide the small amount of hair that was already small.

Although it's a bit funny, the powerful aura exuded from his body makes people dare not despise it.

"In order to challenge Renten. President Nakayama, don't you want to defeat Renten? Qing Zhiyuan asked.

"Even so." Hayabusa Nakayama didn't hide it at all, and said bluntly, "How can Pokeni and Sony help?" ”

In the previous life, Sega had a unique cooperation with Sony, but unfortunately it ended up due to Zhongshan's change of fortune.

Because Sega chose another partner at that time - Bandai.

I have to say that Sega, an unlucky child, has not been very lucky.

In the previous life, because of Bandai's child, Sega had the opportunity to merge Bandai, which had already been finalized.

As a result, Bandai's series of electronic pet sales, led by "Takuma Utako", led to the resolution of the crisis, and the opposition of Bandai employees, and the merger plan was suspended.

The first thing EA did when entering the game market was not to apply to become a third-party game company of Sega, but to quickly reverse-engineer Sega Genesis and develop games that could run without Sega's license.

It's really a big score, why don't you crack Nintendo SFC with this effort, and why do you specialize in Sega?

Later, when Sega was doing publicity in the United States, the mascot Sonic's big balloon also leaked, which injured many people......

Such situations are really countless, and even Qing Zhiyuan sympathizes with them.

"Sony doesn't know how to make game consoles, and they can't do software development well, so why do we have to work with them?"

Of course, there is a real deep reason, and Hayayao Nakayama did not directly pick it out -

The Sega console did a good job and let Sony and Pokeni come in, so wouldn't the cake be divided?

It's not enough to eat, and there are several people to share it at the same time, how can this work?

The host war was originally a struggle for hegemony, how could Sega let others get involved?

"Sega's GG has a very serious problem with battery life, and this problem happens to be solved only by Sony." Qing Zhiyuan responded without humility or arrogance.

Sega is a company that is really ......

Not only is there no luck, but the name is really a must:

The handheld is called GameGear, referred to as GG, although there is no concept of GG in this era, but the final outcome is this handheld GG.

The host developed later was called the Demon Knife.

The neon demon knife village is going to devour the master, and the result is undoubtedly GG.

……

Hearing the words battery life problem, the corners of Hayakuo Nakayama's mouth twitched obviously.

Qing Zhiyuan hit his pain point firmly.

The current GG handheld machine, although it has its own natural advantages in hardware -

Color screen,The game performance is much higher than that of Ren Heaven's GB。

But the most troublesome thing is-

In order to make a color screen, fluorescent lamps were used in the backlight, which was a big deal, and the power consumption increased rapidly.

6 dry batteries can only support GG handheld for more than 2 hours, not even 3 hours.

And what about the GB of Non Heaven? Although it is a black and white screen, the game is also very simple, but people can have 8 hours of battery life.

A portable game console that can only play for more than 2 hours has actually lost the meaning of portable.

Such a console is simply not affordable for the average player.

Moreover, in order to be able to plug a [fluorescent tube] and 6 dry batteries, Sega's handheld was forced to make it big and thick, like a brick.

It even reaches a staggering 0.5 kg weight.

This isn't a handheld anymore, is it?

This is clearly a special wrist strength device.

"Sony has not only storage technology, but also has a very remarkable achievement in the field of batteries." Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "If Sony is involved, then Sega's handheld will get a qualitative leap and form a crushing advantage over Ren Tianda GB." ”

Yes, Sony is not the only one that leads the world in storage technology.

There is one more unknown achievement of this company -

Sony was the first company to put lithium-ion batteries on the market, and in 1991 it started the commercial era of lithium-ion batteries and changed the history of batteries.

Lithium-ion batteries are simply a dimensionality reduction blow for dry batteries.

The first is sustainable charging, where the battery capacity has been increased by several notches, while the volume has been greatly reduced.

This invention also laid the foundation for later mobile phones and handheld computers.

If Sega's handheld is combined with Sony's lithium-ion battery technology, the size of the handheld will be greatly reduced, and the battery life problem will be solved at the same time.

Qing Zhiyuan's words are not unreasonable.

……

Hayao Nakayama faltered slightly.

"We, Pokeni, Sony, and Sega, all have a common enemy, and that is Renten." Qing Jiyuan continued, "I can understand President Nakayama's feelings, but why don't you cooperate before Ren Heaven falls? ”

"I don't know how much President Nakayama knows about the history of China's Three Kingdoms."

Of the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao was the most powerful, and Liu Bei and Sun Quan united to fight Cao Cao in the north and defeated Cao's army in the Battle of Red Cliffs. Later, it became a three-point world. ”

"However, if Liu Bei and Sun Quan dismantle each other and fight each other, then the result they face will only be annexed by Cao Cao."

"Before Sega becomes the hegemon, please consider Pokeni's proposal." Qing Zhiyuan said.

……

Hearing the word overlord, Nakayama Hayao's heart jumped heavily.

I have to say that Qing Zhiyuan is a strong lobbyist.

They know exactly what the other person needs, and they know what they can provide.

Learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and each takes what they need, which is a win-win situation.

What's more, he did impress Hayao Nakayama, and Sega's long-held dream was to defeat Rentendo and replace him.

As for whether or not to unite with others......

After hesitating for a moment, Hayao Nakayama let out a sigh.

"Please give us some time, Sega needs to have a meeting to discuss it."

"Okay, President Nakayama."
