"It's two different things."

Qing Zhiyuan replied loudly, "I have a fancy for you, it has nothing to do with Rentendo or President Yamauchi, I just chose a person who I think is the most suitable person to be the head of the company's strategic planning department, and I also chose this person to become the future CEO of the group."

It's just my judgment.

And I've always trusted my own judgment.

At least so far, I haven't made a mistake in this regard. ”

What Qing Zhiyuan said is definitely a fact, in the selection of people, his vision is extremely accurate, even Iwata Satoshi can't help but sigh that Qing Zhiyuan is like being able to see people's attributes, Pokeni can always give birth to all kinds of geniuses in the industry.

That's a miracle in itself.

Satoshi Iwata gritted his teeth and asked:

"Then why not choose...... Well...... What about Mr. Shinji Mikami? I think that as the legendary producer of your company, he has far more qualifications among pokeni than me, both in terms of talent and influence.

His prestige is definitely beyond my reach, and Shinji Mikami is obviously more suitable to be the future CEO of the pokeni group, right? ”

Qing Zhiyuan smiled and shook his head, saying that Mr. Iwata's words were wrong, "Mikami-san is indeed very talented, but his talent is mainly in game production.

He is definitely a well-deserved talent for making games, and I am relieved to hand it over to him.

However, there is a big difference between a company's CEO and a producer, and someone who can make games may not be able to manage a company well.

The logic of the company's operation is different from the logic of game production, and at the level of company strategy, what is needed is the ability to look forward to the future, the ability to plan strategically, and the sensitivity to the market, as well as the ability to manage personnel......

In these aspects, Mikami estimates that it is not enough. ”

"Hmm......" Satoshi Iwata took a deep breath and continued to ask, "What about your company's Mr. Kazuma Takahashi?" As the director of operations, he is actually outstanding in strategic planning and operational capabilities, and has also led the promotion of many successful products.

Up to now, Mr. Takahashi Kazuma's film and game linkage and publicity skills are all textbook-level.

Such a person should be a good fit to be the CEO of the future, right? ”

"Hmm......" Qing Zhiyuan sighed and shook his head, "Takahashi is actually a good executor, and I plan a lot of the things he does. ”

Huh?

Satoshi Iwata was stunned for a moment, it turned out that the textbook-level propaganda strategy made by Kazuma Takahashi was planned by you, President Qing?

The man in front of him looked unusually young, only in his 30s, and you can't even associate him with the word 30.

It is shocking that such a young person can do everything.

Before that, Iwata Satoshi thought that Qing Zhiyuan's biggest advantage was that he knew how to delegate power, and the people below were powerful enough, so he could bring the company to this point.

After doing it for a long time, is President Qing the one who hides deeply?

After some conversation, Satoshi Iwata had a new understanding of him.

……

"Let's put it this way," Qing Zhiyuan said with a smile, "Takahashi-san is indeed talented, and he is also a good executor, and he can complete the publicity and operation tasks assigned to him very well."

However, the problem with Takahashi is that he doesn't have a particularly deep understanding of games, and if he were to be the CEO, it might be okay to be a medium-sized company, but it would not be enough to be the best in the world so that Pokeni could set sail. ”

That's right......

Satoshi Iwata frowned, "What about Sony's Ken Kutaragi?" To the best of my knowledge, Mr. Kutaragi is definitely a great talent.

With his own efforts, he was able to build SCE, and he has continued to succeed in bringing Sony into the game field, and has now made it the world's largest game company.

PS sales are far ahead in the world, and it was also under the advocacy of Mr. Ken Kutaragi that Sony established the Neon Electronic Entertainment Association, which is equivalent to setting rules for the industry......

He is also a person who is very good at studying game consoles, whether it is in terms of hard power, business ability, or strategic planning ability, Mr. Kutaragi Ken is a good talent.

What's more, as far as I know, President Sei must have a good relationship with him, so why don't you let Mr. Kutaragi be the CEO of the company? ”

……

Qing Zhiyuan smiled and said nothing, and Ken Tataraki is now the president of SCI, is that what I can dig in?

"Sony's current signs are unknown, and President Norio Oga has always groomed Mr. Kutaragi as his successor.

Although Nobuyuki Idei and Micky Schulhoff have a good chance of winning, there is no guarantee that Ken Kutaragi will not be the next president in a few years.

In this case, it is impossible for him to change jobs. ”

Qing Zhiyuan shook his head, and then said with a smile, "Iwata-san." ”

"The era of Rentendo is about to pass, and if you think about it, whether it is in the console field, or in the handheld field, or in the game content field, Rentendo is no longer the number one now.

And the performance is declining, President Yamauchi is not energetic, and Minoru Arakawa, who will succeed him in the future, may not be able to lead Rentendo out of the predicament.

In other words, the gloomy end of Ren Heaven is inevitable. ”

"As for Sega, not to mention, now after Sega lost the console war, the capital chain has been very tight, even if it is a backdrop to win the next console war, I'm afraid it is not an easy thing."

"As for Sony......"

Qing Zhiyuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Sony seems to be in full swing now, but there are too many fields involved, and there are constant internal struggles, which actually bury hidden dangers in the future."

Sony's next successor plays a crucial role. ”

When Qing Zhiyuan said this, he became excited, and leaned forward to Iwata Satoshi.

"In this world, only me and you can do great things in the future!"

Boom, a flash of thunder flashed outside, making Iwata's heart skip a beat.

President Ao's expression just now was really scary.

……

Satoshi Iwata was silent.

Seriously, this meal was not in vain today.

Qing Zhiyuan's analysis completely exceeded his cognition of Qing Zhiyuan, and also broke the stereotype of Iwata Satoshi.

There's a reason why Pokeni is where it is today.

It's just that everyone has been confused by the geniuses of the P Society who were pushed out by Qing Zhiyuan and enjoyed the glory in front of the stage.

Shinji Mikami, Hidetaka Miyazaki, Gen Kubuchi, Mika Ishino, Jun...... Asa

The shining names are like the stars in the sky.

However, in fact, it is only now that Satoshi Iwata understands that Seongchi Won is the man standing behind them.

He gave them all the light, so much so that he looked so dim and inconspicuous, in fact, Qing Zhiyuan was the real powerhouse.

Hehe......

Isn't it?

If the president of Pokeni is a mediocre person, how can this company do this in just a few years?

There is even a faint tendency to surpass Ren Heaven.

It's terrible, Qing Zhiyuan.

He analyzed the current situation so thoroughly that Pokeni must have had his own plan and corresponding layout.

If you think about it carefully, since the establishment of P Society, every step has been quite ingenious, and the chessboard has fallen and planned for the future......

Extending from games to film and television, it is the first forum and portal ......

The whole pokeni, with the game as the core, extends outward a huge network, and every node on the network is so ingenious, precise and plays a huge role in each.

These are enough to show President Qingzhiyuan's superb layout ability and strategic vision.

I didn't understand it before, but this time, after Qing Zhiyuan's explanation, Iwata Satoshi almost figured it out.

What kind of person can achieve this level like Qing Zhiyuan?

"But ......"

Iwata Satoru hesitated for a moment, thinking sideways, "I know why President Qing didn't choose them, but I still don't understand why he chose me.

In comparison, I was the least talented and the most prestigious. ”

"No, no, it's the opposite."

Qing Zhiyuan laughed, "You are the most talented and suitable one."

I've never been more interested in the present, I'm more interested in the future.

Iwata-san, the achievements you have made in the HAL Research Institute are obvious to all, and it is actually quite remarkable that you can still turn the tide and turn the company around with a debt of 2 billion, and you can also produce the Kirby series of stars.

As you can see from this, first of all, Iwata-san, you have enough love for games.

At the same time, you also have a strong strategic vision and the ability to control the overall situation, and as the president of HAL, although the number of people in the HAL Institute is not large, it still reflects your extraordinary management skills.

You are a visionary, bold and ambitious company leader, game developer, and strategic planner......

That's why I think you're a good fit and insist on handing over the future of Pokeni to you.

I trust you, but also my vision and judgment. ”

Can I still not know?

I'm a person who has crossed over from 2023, if I don't even have this ability to judge, won't I live a lifetime in vain?

And Iwata Satoshi, you don't know how powerful I am, I can count the big names in the next few decades for you.

Qing Zhiyuan finished speaking in one breath, his mouth was a little dry, he stood up and poured a glass of wine for Iwata Satoshi, and then took a sip each.

"I am really flattered by the praise of the youth president."

Iwata Satoshi blinked, and his heart churned, not knowing how to respond to him.

"Also, President Youth, why do you want to find a CEO to manage the company, which I don't understand."

"I have my own things to do."

Qing Zhiyuan laughed, "Didn't my children be born last month?" ”

"Ahh

Speaking of this, Iwata Satoshi immediately remembered, as if he had given birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

"Congratulations, there are beautiful twins."

"Thank you," Qing Zhiyuan took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "Actually, in the process of raising children, I discovered the fatal problem of the company-

During my sabbatical, it's hard to find someone to replace me, keep the company running, or even make the right decisions during that time.

The company needs not only a president, but also a general manager.

This frees up my time and energy.

Truth be told, I prefer to do some deep thinking rather than get stuck in corporate affairs.

At this time, the position of CEO is extremely important.

I've never felt so important.

And at this time, the first thing that came to mind in my mind was you, Mr. Satoshi Iwata. ”

"Ah......h I was so flattered by that. Satoshi Iwata quickly responded.

"I don't even know if I have the ability to lead the future of Pokeni."

"I'm sure you can," Qing Zhiyuan laughed happily, "and I'm sure that if you can come to Pokeni, the two of us will definitely cooperate quite tacitly." ”

"And, I promise, the salary you need, the shares of the company, these will definitely satisfy you, I need not only a housekeeper, but also a strategic partner, we can set sail together and lead Pokeni to the top of the world."

Seeing the light in Qing Zhiyuan's eyes, Satoshi Iwata's heart was excited.

It's like the light in his eyes, and he can see the beautiful tomorrow depicted by Qing Zhiyuan.

On the great route, the giant ship Pokeni is riding the wind and waves......

In such a magnificent picture, there is one's own figure, what an exciting thing!

Unless Pu Yamauchi is willing to hand over the president to me, otherwise, what can compare to this invitation from President Ao?

The question is –

Is this possible?

Satoshi Iwata knew that this was impossible just by thinking about it on his toes.

President Yamauchi is a notoriously dictator, how could he possibly hand over the family business to an outsider?

And......

Just like Qing Zhiyuan said, now that Ren Heaven has begun to decline, P Society represents the future.

Whether it is in Qingzhiyuan or in the company Pokeni, Satoshi Iwata can feel full of vitality and hope.

Hope is as bright as the sun.

Illuminate tomorrow, illuminate the world......

"Hmmm......"

Satoshi Iwata took a deep breath and drank the wine from his glass.

He raised his head with a flushed face and looked at Qing Zhiyuan.

"The meaning of the young president has been reached, and I have fully understood the president's intentions.

But what...... I may not be able to make a decision today, so I would like to ask President Youth to give me more time to think about it. ”

"If I make up my mind, whether I resign from HAL or continue to stay in HAL, I will definitely give President Youth a satisfactory answer."

"Okay."

This is actually expected by Qing Zhiyuan.

For such a big event, for everyone, it may only be once in a lifetime.

You have to think it through.

So Qing Zhiyuan didn't expect to succeed in poaching today.

"Well, I'm looking forward to your reply, Mr. Iwata. Hopefully it's the good one. ”

Qing Zhiyuan raised his wine glass and laughed.
