Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 260 The Golden Age of Video Games About to Begin
The opening time of the International Consumer Electronics Show is June NO.20.

However, after the time entered June, the relevant preparations had already begun.

Determine the booth according to the drawings provided by the sponsor, and process and arrange the things needed for the booth.

Training of exhibitors.

Of course, there are also containers full of Pokeball 2 handhelds arriving in America from Neon.

Then just wait for the exhibition to start, then deliver to the four major distributors, and officially distribute the goods during the exhibition.

The preparations were going on intensely, and Hideki Hanyu naturally needed a lot of care.

I don't have the mind to pay attention to other things at all.

And when the time came to June th.

Hideki Hanyu had just returned to the hotel after a busy day when he received an overseas call from Neon.

"Teacher, I miss you. I want to go to America to find you."

Other than Kyoko Koizumi, there is no one else who can call him that in a delicate voice.

"Don't you need to run publicity?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"The new single has just been promoted, and I can take a break recently." Kyoko Koizumi replied.

"rest?"

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself, in the idol work of Neon, is there such a thing as a break?
"I don't care. I just want to find the teacher. I haven't been to America yet."

Of course Kyoko Koizumi knew that she couldn't fool Hideki Hanyu with the reason of taking a rest.

But this time she made up her mind to go to America to find Hideki Hanyu.

The reason is simple. Since entering this year, Hanyu Hideki has been busy with work, and the number of times he meets her is pitifully seldom.

If it's just her, that's fine, after all, she is a smart girl.

It can be seen that in Hideki Hanyu's mind, the status of women is far less important than career, so he would not be foolish to say that career and me should choose one.

But the problem is that she went to NHK to record a program a few days ago, and she mentioned it while listening to the staff chatting.

The heroine of NHK's popular morning drama "Soy Sauce's Daughter Ah Xiang" lived in a luxury car worth tens of millions when she was filming outside.

Of course she knew who the heroine was, and she didn't have to guess who bought that luxury car.

He understands better that when Hideki Hanyu was busy, the other party "secretly" went to see Hideki Hanyu and got such an expensive gift.

There was a sense of crisis immediately.

Simply taking advantage of the end of the promotional period for the new single, she asked for leave directly from her manager, expressing that she wanted to take a break.

If a popular idol asks for leave, the manager will definitely not agree.

But in Koizumi Kyoko's view, the pressure from the office is nothing compared to her relationship with Hanyu Hideki.

However, she did not forcefully contradict back, but directly explained to her agent that she had seen less and less with Hanyu Hideki recently, and she was a little worried that the relationship would change.

When the manager heard that Hideki Hanyu was involved, he didn't dare to make a decision without authorization, and finally reported the matter to the president, Zhou Fangyuo.

After Zhou Fang Yuxiong learned about this, he immediately began to think about it.

After Kyoko Koizumi had a relationship with Hideki Hanyu.

Yunshang Entertainment treats Koizumi Kyoko like half of his own entertainer, and all kinds of resources are easily opened to Koizumi Kyoko.

There is also Elf Entertainment, the endorsement of the game advertisement, and the promotion ambassador of the Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Expo.

I don't know how many benefits Koizumi Kyoko has reaped, and his firm has directly benefited from it.

If this relationship disappears, then follow-up resources will undoubtedly be greatly discounted.

He knows the niece who is in charge of Yunshang Entertainment very well, and he has always been business-like.

The last time I helped save someone, I had to return the favor afterwards.

Without Hideki Hanyu's instruction, he couldn't force his niece to give Koizumi Kyoko resources.

Therefore, in his opinion, the relationship between Kyoko Koizumi and Hideki Hanyu must continue to be maintained.

Zhou Fang Yuxiong thought of this and made an announcement without hesitation.

Said that Kyoko Koizumi needs to rest for a period of time due to physical reasons, and she will be notified when she will recover.

Then there was this call from Kyoko Koizumi.

"Come to America?"

Hideki Hanyu explained patiently, "But I'm going to Las Vegas to get busy with work soon."

When Koizumi Kyoko heard about Las Vegas, he felt more hopeful.

She said coquettishly, "Teacher, just let me go. I'm a good boy. I will never disturb the teacher's work."

Hideki Hanyu repeatedly tried to dissuade him, but seeing no effect, he could only nod in agreement in the end.

And by the way, Uemura Reiko helped Koizumi Kyoko book a first-class ticket.

When the time came to the second afternoon, Hideki Hanyu went to the San Jose International Airport and picked up Kyoko Koizumi at the exit.

After getting in the car, Hanyu Hideki just told Marco to go back to the hotel.

Koizumi Kyoko embraced him as if no one else was around, and offered her cherry lips.

After a while, the little goblin leaned against Hanyu Hideki affectionately, "Teacher, I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you so much."

Little Fairy knew that as a woman, what she said and what she did would make Hanyu Hideki happy.

Give more, ask less, recognize reality, and don't have unrealistic fantasies.

Only in this way can the relationship be sustained and stable.

"Okay, Marco is still ahead, let's go back to the hotel if we have anything to say."

Hanyu Hideki scratched the goblin's nose.

"Okay." The goblin agreed.

But when the two returned to the hotel, the goblin didn't speak anymore, but started to act directly.

The result is of course needless to say.

The first battle was hearty.

……

At noon the next day, Hideki Hanyu called the front desk of the hotel and asked to deliver a lunch.

Turning to look at the little fairy with a peachy face, she said helplessly, "That's what you said, it won't disturb my work."

This was the first time he slept in late since he started preparing for the exhibition.

Seeing that it's getting closer, I definitely can't go to Silicon Valley today.

But it doesn't matter, just give yourself a day off.

No one is as busy as an employee while being a boss.

When the little fairy heard what he said, she embraced Hideki Hanyu with a face full of intoxication, and put her head on Hideki Hanyu's chest.

"It's not that the teacher is too li hai."

After speaking, he touched the muscles on Hideki Hanyu's chest, and asked in surprise, "Why do I feel that Sensei's figure is better."

After Hanyu Hideki heard this, he thought to himself, can he not be amazing?

Hanging around with a bunch of big men all day, holding back for such a long time, if I didn't concentrate on my work, I wouldn't be familiar with this place.

According to his character, he had already gone out to have fun.

As for the better figure, that is not the illusion of the little goblin.

A young man in his early twenties has nowhere to vent his energy.

He simply became a member of a nearby professional iron club, and he went there several times a week.

Under the guidance of the iron gym coaches, the effect of body shaping is obvious.

I have to say that such things as ironing are really addictive, and now if it doesn't last for a long time, I will still feel a little uncomfortable.

It seems that even if I go back to Tokyo, I have to set up a gym at home.

In the past, I only danced at most, but now I think it would be good to add some strength training.

At least the little goblin he killed last night lost his helmet and armor, which is the result of this period of training.

He is still full of energy now, but the little goblin first bent down and begged for mercy, only daring to speak quickly.

The two had lunch in the room, and after a short rest, Hideki Hanyu took the little elf to stroll around San Jose.

In the evening, he took the goblin to the land he just bought, and read the first draft of the design from a design company in Los Angeles.

The room is directly connected to the lakeside infinity pool and water park.

Underwater fence fishery, helipad, tennis court, basketball court, mini football field, beautiful private greenery...

There is an underground garage that can park cars, and a super large residence of square meters on the first floor, using the latest technology home system.

Looking at the rendering of the mansion that seemed to be in fantasy, the little goblin was completely shocked.

"How much does such a big house cost?"

How could it be possible to see such an exaggerated house in a place like neon where every inch of land is expensive.

"If you build it yourself, it's actually not expensive."

Hanyu Hideki was not talking nonsense.

A house of this level, even at the current price, would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to sell.

However, if it is actually built, it is estimated that the cost is not as good as those top apartments near Central Park in New York.

It is estimated that all the buildings will be completed, and it will not cost 2000 million US dollars.

But even so, it is a huge sum of money in this day and age.

"When will this house be built?" Kyoko Koizumi asked excitedly.

It seems that when the house is built, she must come to experience it.

"It is estimated that the construction period will be more than one year." Hideki Hanyu said.

"It will take so long." Koizumi Kyoko said disappointedly.

"It's very soon."

Hideki Hanyu thought that this was the reason why he accelerated the progress further by using the banknote ability.

If it follows the original cycle, it might take two or three years.

"Then when the house is built, I must come and live there for a while." Kyoko Koizumi said with longing.

"Stay for a while? Are you sure you can come when you have time?" Hideki Hanyu looked suspicious.

Kyoko Koizumi had truthfully explained to him last night why she got the rest vacation.

He didn't have any objection to the goblin using him as a shield.

And what the little goblin was worried about, that he would alienate the other party, Hanyu Hideki never thought about it.

It's just that when he is busy with work, he tends to forget other things, and it's not that he deliberately neglects women.

As long as these women don't do things that touch the bottom line, in his opinion, it's not a big deal to spend a little money to support them.

And Kyoko Koizumi used this excuse to come to him this time, it will not be so easy to use it again in the future.

Popular idols are all cash cows, Zhou Fang Yuxiong can give him face once, it is impossible to give him one after another.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu pulled the little elf to sit on the grass in the open space.

Then he asked directly, "How many years are left in your contract with Zhou Fangsang?"

"Seven years after debut." The little fairy replied.

"That means it won't end until . Do you have any plans then?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"Intend?"

Koizumi Kyoko suddenly fell into confusion.

At that time, her idol career did not know what would happen.

If Hideki Hanyu is willing to marry her, then of course she can be Mrs. Hanyu at ease.

But this kind of thinking is impossible without guessing. She knows Hideki Hanyu's character very well. She is a prodigal son and obviously has no intention of settling down.

And with Hideki Hanyu's current situation, even if he wants to get married, he can only find girls from big families.

Thinking of this, Kyoko Koizumi said, "What will happen when I move to Yunshang Arts?"

After saying these words, Kyoko Koizumi was quite looking forward to it.

If she were an artist of Yunshang Yi Neng, it would be impossible for her to appear in the "Hana Girlfriend" audition that is making a lot of noise now.

The female artists signed by Yunshang Arts are either inappropriate in style or too young. Who can compete with her.

If he has really entered the entertainment industry on the cloud, with the support of Hideki Hanyu, there may be too many resources to use up.

Who wants to face Kyoko Koizumi's expectations, but Hideki Hanyu directly shook his head.

"Zhou Fangsang won't let you move."

Are you kidding me, the people Zhou Fang Yuxiong finally cultivated will be handed over to others easily.

That's Neon Showbiz, not America Showbiz.

Even if the contract is over, without the permission of the former firm, don't even think about switching to his family.

For a long time, Yunshang Entertainment has cooperated well with Zhou Fang Yuxiong, and it is impossible for Hanyu Hideki to poach the other party's corner in this matter.

After all, he has to consider the relationship between Hirohashi Asako and Zhou Fang Yuxiong.

It can't be difficult for Hirohashi Asako to be caught in the middle because of his woman.

"What?" Koizumi Kyoko was a little disappointed.

Seeing the little goblin's disappointed expression, Hanyu Hideki still gave a suggestion, "But you can't transfer your nationality, but there are other ways."

"What way?" Kyoko Koizumi immediately became interested.

"Zhou Fangsang is still very supportive of his subordinates going out to start a business. At that time, you can discuss with Zhou Fangsang to set up a firm by yourself, and then join the burning department. While running yourself, you can also try to sign some new people."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Koizumi Kyoko pointed at herself in disbelief.

"I set up a firm and then sign new people. I can't be the president?"

Kyoko Koizumi is very clear about her level.

She's not strong woman material at all.

"At that time, there will be help from the combustion department, and we can also cooperate with Yunshang Entertainment. You can act as the mascot of the network, and you can hire someone to do the management and operation."

Hideki Hanyu's words moved Kyoko Koizumi a little, if it could be done, she wouldn't be as busy as she is now.

But thinking about how early it was before that time, he lost his interest again.

"Forget it, it's too early to say this now, let's go back to the hotel."

"Ok."

The two returned to the hotel and had a lingering night, needless to say.

On the second day, Hideki Hanyu, who easily cleaned up the little goblin, escaped from the gentle village and went to the Fairy Entertainment Branch to check the preparations for the exhibition.

Next, except that there is a woman by my side, life is still the same as before.

As time approached the opening of the exhibition, the staff of Elven Entertainment set off for Las Vegas.

In order to experience the road culture of America, Hanyu Hideki did not take the plane this time, but chose to take the car with the employees.

Silicon Valley is about kilometers away from Las Vegas.

Because you have to follow the train pulling things, the driving speed is not fast.

Stop and go all the way, more than ten hours before finally arriving.

The scenery along the way made Hideki Hanyu quite novel at first, but it became boring after looking at it.

Especially when entering Nevada, the closer to Las Vegas, the more monotonous the scenery.

In addition to the long yellow sand, there is nothing else, it is really boring to see.

Fortunately, he carries a Pokeball 2 handheld with him, which he can use to pass the time.

However, he hadn't played with this machine for a long time before it was taken over by Kyoko Koizumi.

The goblin is not very interested in "Pokémon", but he likes playing Tetris very much, and he is addicted to the game all the way.

It can be seen from this that the personality of the other party's beautiful girl in the game is worthy of the name.

But when they arrived in Las Vegas, they saw this extremely bustling city in the desert, especially the dazzling array of large shopping malls.

Kyoko Koizumi immediately put the game behind her again, regardless of the exhaustion from the journey, she took Hideki Hanyu and went shopping.

As a result, the first time Hanyu Hideki arrived in Las Vegas, he was not resting or working, but was dragged by his own woman to go shopping.

A few hours later, after spending tens of thousands of dollars and carrying several packages, large and small, they finally returned to the hotel.

Looking at Kyoko Koizumi happily trying on the clothes she just bought in the living room of the suite, Hideki Hanyu emphasized.

"I'm going to work at the exhibition tomorrow, but I don't have time to go shopping with you."

Hearing Hideki Hanyu's words, the goblin who was trying on clothes immediately pouted.

"People don't buy clothes for the teacher to see, don't the teacher like it?"

Kyoko Koizumi was trying on a pink silk pajamas as she spoke.

The smooth silk pajamas perfectly displayed the girl's beautiful figure, but with a faint feeling.

Hideki Hanyu couldn't take his eyes away for a while, it was hard to say three words that he didn't like.

Seeing that Hanyu Hideki was looking at her, the goblin deliberately put on a provocative pose.

The voice said charmingly, "Doesn't the teacher want to teach me?"

……

Beauty is good, but career is more important.

Hideki Hanyu, who had spent a good night teaching the little goblins, went to the exhibition refreshed the next day.

Although the place is still the same place, the treatment received by Elven Entertainment this time is quite different.

Last time, even if they spent money, they couldn't buy a good position.

But this time it was different, the Poké Balls were very popular, and they got the same treatment as other big manufacturers.

In this exhibition, Elf Entertainment even spent a huge amount of money to rent one of the largest booths on the exhibition site.

When Hideki Hanyu arrived, Satoru Iwata was instructing employees and workers to arrange the booth.

In the last exhibition, Hideki Hanyu's row of TV advertisements attracted a large number of tourists to the booth.

Of course, Spirit Entertainment will not forget this effective method.

Several TVs with the largest screen size available on the market were hung above the booth.

No matter which direction visitors pass by, they are sure to see a TV screen.

In addition to the TV, of course there must be a live demo area.

The location of the trial play area is ingeniously arranged. No matter which entrance you go to, it will be very convenient to queue up.

Obviously, everyone felt that at this exhibition, Pokeball 2 handhelds would be welcomed by everyone in line like last year's Pokeball.

In addition to these arrangements, of course, the game arcade is indispensable.

Elf Entertainment America's turnover this year, in addition to toys began to account for the bulk, the second is still ranked second is the elf ball.

But the third place is not computer games, but arcade games.

Adding up the arcade board and the whole machine, the arcade game alone has helped the elf entertainment division create a turnover of more than 6000 million in less than half a year.

After the impact of Atari, console games were completely destroyed, and computer games survived.

Arcade games were not affected much, and after a short period of depression, they began to recover quickly.

Especially in small towns in America where computers are not popular, arcades are the only option for them to try games.

The Elf Entertainment division is very lucky, in fact, not only Elf Entertainment, but the entire neon arcade game business is also very lucky.

In this season when the American game company was hit hard, or they were transforming to engage in computer games.

Neon arcade game companies such as Elf Entertainment, Nintendo, and Konami have reaped the dividends of this wave of arcade game recovery.

However, the arcade games are just decorations. If you can get a little order at the exhibition, it is a little order.

The protagonist this time is still the Pokeball 2 handheld.

At the beginning of the exhibition, the demo area, which occupies the largest area of ​​the entire booth, will be equipped with demo machines.

At that time, lovers of electronic pets can experience the enhanced version of "electronic pets" "Pokémon Red/Green".

And those who simply like games can play Tetris.

However, the cassettes of the trial units are sealed in advance to prevent them from being stolen by the trial tourists.

In addition to these hardware arrangements, other arrangements are also essential.

Character dolls, posters, and large statues in the games under Elf Entertainment can be seen everywhere in the booth.

As soon as you get closer, you can feel the strong "corporate culture" of Spirit Entertainment.

These booth layout plans have actually been designed before coming here.

Seeing that there was no major problem, Hanyu Hideki continued to let Iwata Satoshi direct the work, while he wandered around in the exhibition hall.

Opposite Elf Entertainment is Sony's booth.

At this time, I was also busy with the layout of the booth, and the on-site conductor was still an acquaintance.

Kutaragi Ken seen at the Neon Enterprise Networking Conference in Las Vegas last year.

The future head of Sony Entertainment, the father of the "PS" host.

When Hanyu Hideki saw Kutaragi Ken, Kutaragi Ken also discovered Hanyu Hideki.

Immediately greeted him, "Mr. Hanyu, long time no see."

"Long time no see, Kutaragi-san, I didn't expect that we are still neighbors this year."

Hanyu Hideki made a joke.

This year, the two booths are arranged like this. Of course, it is no problem to say that they are neighbors.

But last year, Genie Entertainment was nothing more than a small shrimp hiding in the shadow of Sony's booth.

Ken Kutaragi glanced at the Pokémon Entertainment booth that was also being arranged across the way, and said with emotion, "Mr. Hanyu's business is developing really fast. Even Sony is very envious of Poké Ball's performance in America."

As soon as Kutaragi Ken said this, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help complaining in his heart.

envious?

Is envy the reason why Sony let its subsidiaries create counterfeit products and compete with us for the market?
It turned out that after the sales of Tamagotchi exploded, Sony was also one of the companies that followed suit and launched electronic pets.

But it is not the Sony brand, but a subsidiary like Sanyo.

However, Sony obviously failed to capture the essence of electronic pets. Although their electronic pet configuration is far better than that of Tamagotchi, the content is like a bunch of Xiang.

Hideki Hanyu, whose sales were dismal, didn't even bother to pay attention to it when it went public.

If the other party wasn't Sony, he probably wouldn't have known about it at all.

But even though I complained in my heart, I still have to be polite when I should be polite.

"Kutaragi-san praised too much. Compared with Sony, the performance of Spirit Entertainment is really nothing."

"Mr. Hanyu is too modest. Sony also started from a young age. I am very optimistic about the development of Spirit Entertainment and hope to have opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Ken Kutaragi's words reminded Hideki Hanyu of the cooperation between Sony and Nintendo that ended without a problem.

Although that cooperation broke down, Nintendo was suspected of backstabbing.

But if Sony said that he had no evil intentions and was innocent, he would not believe it if he was beaten to death.

One can think of Sony's optical disc patents. Before the development of semiconductor storage technology, 90s game discs were definitely an unavoidable problem.

If he doesn't want to cooperate with Philips, he can only choose Sony.

Therefore, he didn't say it to death on the spot, but said vaguely, "It would be an honor for Elf Entertainment to cooperate with Sony."

After chatting with Ken Kutaragi, Hideki Hanyu started to wander around again.

Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba, Samsung, LG...

He looked at the core area of ​​the exhibition hall one by one.

Seeing that most of the main booths are occupied by Neon companies, I can't help but sigh in my heart. At this time, Neon's electronic products are really invincible all over the world.

No wonder starting from next year, America will clean up severely.

The big tree attracts the wind, which is exactly what it means.

But after looking at the core area, Hanyu Hideki was always a little uneasy when he didn't see a single company.

So he walked towards the more remote booths around.

Soon, in a remote corner, he found the company he wanted to see.

Nintendo.

Looking at it from a distance, it seems that Nintendo's main products this year are still old-fashioned handhelds and arcade machines.

I haven't seen any of the NES consoles that were modified from the FC consoles, not even a single poster.

Didn't Nintendo even try it?

Or did you try it, and found that the seller was not willing to deal with it at all, so you gave up?

Hanyu Hideki couldn't figure out why.

But for him, for Elven Entertainment, this is really good news.

Just when he was about to get closer to make sure, he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him.

Turning around, I found that it was Satoru Iwata who was supposed to be in charge of the booth arrangement.

The other party was in a hurry, with beads of sweat on his forehead, it seemed that he had been looking for him for a while.

"What happened to the booth?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

"It's not the booth, it's Mr. Michael Katz. He told me to tell Chairman Hanyu to go back to the hotel immediately."

"Is there something wrong with the seller?" Hideki Hanyu asked.

Michael Katz also arrived in Las Vegas, but because he had something to discuss with the seller, he did not come to the exhibition hall in the morning, but stayed in the hotel.

"The person who came to inform did not say why, but said that it was related to the headquarters of Neon, and President Hanyu should go to the hotel as soon as possible." Iwata said.

"I'm going right now."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he walked out of the exhibition hall with a solemn expression.

Marco's car was just outside, and he ordered to go back to the hotel after he got in.

Before arriving at the hotel, Hideki Hanyu thought that something big must have happened, otherwise Michael Katz would not be so anxious to ask him to go back.

Seeing that the situation is very good, is something going to happen.

As soon as he got back to the hotel, Hideki Hanyu didn't go back to his room, but went straight to Michael Katz's room.

Knocking on the door and entering, he saw Michael Katz's expression was calm, and there was a hint of joy. It didn't look like anything bad had happened.

And Michael Katz noticed that Hideki Hanyu's face was serious.

I understand that he sent someone to bring the news just now, he was worried about talking nonsense, and he didn't explain the reason, probably because Hanyu Hideki misunderstood him.

But he didn't explain, but pointed to the phone in the room.

"Mr. Hanyu, don't worry, it's not bad news, Ms. Kitahara is still online, let her tell you."

"Ok."

Hanyu Hideki didn't hesitate, picked up the phone and asked, "Kitahara-san, I'm Hanyu Hideki, what's wrong with the neon?"

"This afternoon, Sega issued an announcement to the media, stating that a new product launch event will be held tomorrow."

Due to the time difference between Tokyo and the United States, the afternoon that Eri Kitahara mentioned was the morning on America's side.

As soon as Eri Kitahara said this, Hideki Hanyu immediately asked, "Is this the press conference of the new console?"

"Sega didn't say it, but they sent product manuals to third-party game developers in advance, and of course we have them too.

This is a home game console called Sega 1000. Although it is still an eight-bit machine, judging from the parameters, it is better than Nintendo's FC console. "

After Eri Kitahara finished speaking, Hideki Hanyu couldn't bear the joy anymore.

"Sega is such a good friend. If there is a chance, I must treat Hayao Nakayama to dinner!"

Seeing that the International Consumer Electronics Show is about to start, and Sega has not released a new console for so long, he thought it would be impossible.

Who would have thought that Sega would provide an assist at the last minute.

There are still two days left for the exhibition to start. If Sega holds a new product launch conference tomorrow, Nintendo will definitely focus on Sega.

If Sega's new console, which absorbed Atari's technology, could be a little more powerful than its previous life, Nintendo wouldn't be in the mood to care about America, a market full of uncertainties.

Although America's market is good, Nintendo is definitely not willing to risk the neon stronghold being overturned by Sega.

And at the critical moment, Hideki Hanyu can also "seek skin with the tiger" and choose to cooperate with Sega to support Sega's authorized games.

"It's too early for a treat, at least for now we can't show too close to Sega." Eri Kitahara was very cautious.

"That's right, we are not in a hurry, just wait and see what happens, even if we want to cooperate, we must not be the first." Hideki Hanyu urged.

"Don't worry, Hanyu-san, I will take care of the scale." Eri Kitahara replied.

"Let's leave the neon business to Kitahara-san, and I will rush back when America's business is over," Hideki Hanyu said.

"Hanyu-san doesn't need to worry, the launch of Pokeball 2 is more important to us."

"I see."

When Hideki Hanyu said this, his expression became full of fighting spirit.

From the "Asahi Shimbun", the corpses of Sega samurai are scattered all over the place, and the question is whether Sega will be overthrown.

It is still the same newspaper, but it depicts a Sega samurai holding a sword and shouting counterattack.

From Nakayama Hayao to Okawa Isao, what the two presidents of Sega brought to Sega is the spirit of a tough guy who can't be beaten to death.

Nintendo's fateful opponent, Sega, which forced Sony's "Second Princess (PS2)" to draw big cakes, is finally here!
The golden age in the history of world video games is about to begin!
Elf Entertainment, which has been planned for many years, will also stand on this stage!

Hundreds of heroes contend for hegemony.

He must be there!
……

Kyoto.

Nintendo headquarters.

President Hiroshi Yamauchi holds a product introduction, which is the description of the Sega 1000 mainframe that he asked for from a related party.

Hiroshi Yamauchi couldn't help frowning when he looked at the product description, which items were obviously better than the FC mainframe.

At this time, there were still three people standing in front of Hiroshi Yamauchi.

There is software development director Shigeru Miyamoto.

There is Yokoi Gunpei, the head of the first R&D department.

There is also Masahiro Hirano, the head of the business department responsible for contacting third parties.

Shan Nei Pu sat on it, and the three looked respectful.

Such a scene, coupled with the indoor atmosphere, is really like a feudal society, where the monarch and his ministers are in harmony.

"Yokai-san, what do you think?" Yamauchi Hiroshi asked Yokoi Gunpei.

Junpei Yokoi naturally knew that Hiroshi Yamauchi was asking about Sega's new console.

"Judging from the parameters, it is indeed an excellent host, but whether a host is really excellent cannot be judged only from the parameters."

Junpei Yokoi replied.

At this time, Miyamoto Shigeru who was next to him also spoke, "President Yamauchi, let's not be too nervous."

"Why?" Hiroshi Yamauchi asked.

"Sega lacked software support," Miyamoto explained.

"Sega has also done a good job in arcade games, and they can completely transplant arcade games to the new console." Hiroshi Yamauchi said.

"Many of Sega's games require the performance of an arcade machine to take advantage of them, and if they are ported to a console, they will lose their appeal.

Obviously, they are also aware of this, otherwise there is no need to issue instructions to third-party game developers in advance. "

Shigeru Miyamoto said.

At this time, Masahiro Hirano reminded.

"President Yamauchi, and several third-party developers we have contacted, including Spirit Entertainment, have suspended negotiations."

In Yamauchi Hiroshi's falcon-like eyes, the coldness flashed away, and he casually threw the manual on the table.

"Don't worry about them, they're just random grass. They must be waiting for Sega's mainframe to go on the market."

When Hiroshi Yamauchi said this, he looked at Junpei Yokoi, "How is the preparation of the peripheral light gun?"

"The light gun patent of Elven Entertainment has been bypassed, and it can be put into production at any time."

Hiroshi Yamauchi then looked at Shigeru Miyamoto again, "What about the new game, is the test over?"

"It's over, it can be put into production now."

When Shigeru Miyamoto said this, he smiled and said, "Actually, I should thank Elf Entertainment. Their ice-cracking style gave me a lot of inspiration."

"Very good, when Sega's mainframe comes out, I will send two gifts to President Zhongshan."

But when Hiroshi Yamauchi said this, he always felt a little strange.

Even though today's conversation was for Sega, it turned out that the most mentioned by everyone was Elf Entertainment.

His son-in-law, Minoru Arakawa, had called him from America earlier to tell him.

Pokemon Entertainment intends to launch a second-generation electronic pokeball at the Consumer Electronics Show in America.

What an energetic new club.

It's a pity that I didn't discover the potential of this club too early, otherwise Nintendo would have a chance to get it.

Obviously Nintendo made a fortune by making cards and toys.

But now in terms of toy peripheral sales, Elf Entertainment has surpassed Nintendo with several popular game images.

However, Nintendo is also learning from Spirit Entertainment’s practice of creating a background story for every game.

When the new game Shigeru Miyamoto mentioned just now is released, Nintendo will also cooperate with Kodansha.

At that time, Nintendo's carefully crafted manga stories will be simultaneously logged in "Weekly Shonen Magazine".

Thinking of this, Hiroshi Yamauchi regained his ambition.

Nintendo is good at learning and not afraid of any challenge!
……

Koizumi Koizumi was a little confused. Hanyu Hideki had been busy for a day, but he still had the energy to torment her when he came back.

Apparently she hadn't heard of the saying, 'Career is the best spring medicine for a man'.

Hideki Hanyu is now full of ambitions and plans to beat Sega and kick Nintendo in the future.

How could he vent his excitement after a day's work.

On the second day, Hanyu Hideki continued to go to the exhibition hall.

The little goblin was bored staying alone in the hotel yesterday, and she always got tired of playing games, so she simply followed Hanyu Hideki to the exhibition site.

The two had just entered the exhibition hall, and they hadn't done anything before arriving at the Fairy Entertainment booth, but someone came to find it first.

"I'm here this time to inform Mr. Hanyu about something."

The person who found Hideki Hanyu was none other than Ken Kutaragi, the person in charge of the Sony booth.

"Kutaragi-san, please tell me," Hideki Hanyu said.

"This International Consumer Electronics Show will still hold a neon business exchange meeting, but in order not to disturb the normal work of the company after the start of the show, the time has been brought forward to the day before the opening."

Kutaragi Ken said, and handed an invitation to Hanyu Hideki.

In addition to the ambassador of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Neon, Sony is also one of the organizers of the exchange meeting.

That's why Kutaragi Ken came to distribute invitations to Hanyu Hideki.

Looking at the cover of the invitation card, it says the title of Elven Entertainment, as well as the location and time of the exchange meeting.

It was : pm tomorrow, and the location was still last year's MGM Hotel.

Hanyu Hideki nodded and said, "I will definitely be there."

Kutaragi Ken glanced at Kyoko Koizumi beside Hideki Hanyu, and reminded him again.

"Tomorrow, Mr. Hanyu can bring his female companion with him. We will discuss whether there will be any media present."

Obviously, Ken Kutaragi recognized the identity of Kyoko Koizumi.

After all, she is a "top-tier" female idol who is second only to Vitality Girl, Nakamori Akina, and Matsuda Seiko. It is not surprising that the little fairy was recognized.

"Thank you Kutaragi-san, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Hideki Hanyu and Ken Kutaragi bid farewell to each other.

After Ken Kutaragi left, the little goblin immediately asked excitedly.

"Can I go with the teacher?"

"They are all old men and entrepreneurs, are you sure you want to go?"

Hideki Hanyu thought to himself, but he didn't see that the other party still likes to join in the fun.

If it weren't for the organization of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the endorsement of a bunch of big companies, he wouldn't be interested in that kind of boring exchange meeting.

"I'm sure, please ask the teacher to take me there."

"If you don't get bored, let's go together, but you didn't bring a dress this time, so leave early later to help you choose a dress."

Hanyu Hideki agreed, and the goblin was very happy.

When she heard that she could go shopping and buy clothes, the little fairy was even happier.

In his heart, he wished he could hold Hideki Hanyu in his arms and nibble a couple of mouthfuls, but on this occasion, he could only pretend to be obedient and nod in agreement.
