Chapter 193 The Scheme of Using One Tiger to Devour Another

Without a doubt, the arcade games personally crafted by Yu Zhen, regardless of their originality or playability, possess an addictive and cunning power to captivate gamers.

Those all belong to the category of "dimensional reduction attack".

As a result, once the product was launched, the Japanese arcade game industry was in an uproar. It was completely overwhelmed and could not withstand the impact. Within half a month, the product became unsaleable, and arcades and other venues that had been operating for many years also suffered from a lack of customers.

It seemed that these Hong Kong rivals, these out-of-town dragons, were about to successfully replace these traditional powerful and wealthy families.

"Damn it, these Hong Kong bastards, how did they come so well prepared? They've clearly been planning to target our market for a long time!!"

"The problem is, our competitors have succeeded. Our products are not far from being completely ignored. We're going to go bankrupt and close down. We're finished—"

"Ugh, those damn Hong Kong bastards! Why, why did they scheme against us so meticulously?!"

"Sir, in business, it's perfectly normal for competitors to scheme against us. What's the point of complaining here? Shouldn't we be adopting a positive attitude and seeking ways to break through this situation?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?! If we can't compete with our products, everything else is just empty talk. What, do you have a way to get our product upgraded and improved in ten days or half a month??"

"No, no, no, President, what I mean is, since we are destined to be losers, there's a saying in the East: 'If you can't beat them, join them,' and seek direct horizontal cooperation with our opponents!!"

"Kobayashi Ze, what do you mean? You wouldn't have already been in contact with that Hong Kong bastard, would you? Were you bribed by our competitor? Did you leak our product defect secret? Damn it, you bastard, I'm going to kill you—"

"idiot!!

"~~

Kobayashi Sawa, who was being verbally abused by the president of Namco Entertainment, suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, and saw the president reach out to slap him.

He glared, shouted angrily, and slapped the club president hard across the face.

Then he continued his roaring and cursing, "Now that the company is on the verge of bankruptcy, you actually believe that the so-called product defects and secrets were discovered by our competitors, which is why we are now the losers? Is your brain full of shit and water? How long has it been since our Nangongmeng Company proactively sought change, upgraded, or updated our products? Our products are outdated, and that is the root cause of our competitive failure!!"

What's more, don't you take a closer look at our competitors and see what kind of genius creators are behind them, providing product ideas, original stories, and engaging content?

That's Yu, the most dazzling and brilliant science fiction writer in our East Asian civilization!

Our product was defeated by Yu!

Look closely, we have been defeated by Yu—”

The president of Nangong Meng was extremely frustrated and slumped into his executive leather chair. Although he refused to admit it for a million years, facts speak louder than words. What could he do if he refused to admit it in the face of undeniable facts?

That brilliant and talented writer from the East—

That's what truly makes the entire East Asian cultural sphere, especially the group of writers who make a living through cultural creation, incredibly proud on the international stage. They are very pleased that I have an East Asian face, and that East Asian literature, writing, and philosophical stories have all become international hot trends.

He was well aware of this fact!

If he were one of their great Japanese clans, they would have already praised Yu to the skies.

Similar scenes, reminiscent of Kobayashi Sawa's overthrow of his superior and his angry rebuke of his own president, were coincidentally playing out simultaneously at both Taito and SEGA.

The older generation of Japanese company presidents, even though they knew of Yu Zhen's immense influence in the East Asian cultural sphere, had a particularly conflicted attitude. Because of Yu Zhen's background as a renowned writer in East Asia, they had always maintained a respectful but distant attitude.

However, this time, in its strongest area, arcade games, the company suffered a devastating blow, and it was on the verge of bankruptcy.

No matter how unwilling they were, they had no choice but to reluctantly seek a cooperative and mutually beneficial relationship.

So, after a period of painful torment...

These three companies—Nangongmeng, Taito, and Sega—the top three in the Japanese arcade game industry, have begun to unite and actively send out signals that they are willing to spend lavishly to form a small group.

Without mentioning how Dongyu Entertainment will specifically respond to this matter.

【Dongyu】is, naturally, the abbreviation for "Oriental Hollywood Audiovisual Entertainment Group," which Yu Zhen is behind the scenes, with the special film and television park base in that special zone as its center.

Currently, video game and arcade game products still have a very limited influence, and are even considered a marginal part of the cultural and entertainment industry, not something that is taken seriously by the relevant authorities.

After all, not many people have the same accurate foresight and predictive ability as Yu Zhen to predict the major trends of the next half-century, and can easily make accurate plans in advance in any industry they want to get involved in.

Therefore, the ripples caused by [Dongyu]'s attempt to acquire the top three Japanese video game companies were fleeting.

In contrast to the present, Japan's entire economic and industrial sphere is already sharpening its knives for a buying spree. Almost all the major heavy industry companies are waving their cash and marching into North America in droves. On Wall Street, in New York City, and in any seemingly glamorous industrial sector, they're buying everything, regardless of size. Even iconic imperial landmarks like the World Trade Center are being targeted by the Japanese, with negotiations underway.

In this situation, the American capital circle, contrary to its usual behavior, acted like cowards, allowing the Japanese to run rampant and forcibly plunder their accumulated assets with money and checks.

They've really bought up most of America!!

[Damn it, our overseas military presence has made us too comfortable, and now these ungrateful bastards are arrogantly clamoring to use economic warfare to retaliate against us!]

[It's laughable that the United States has already been defeated by the economic mushroom cloud of its rival —]

The North American media, led by The Wall Street Journal, invariably features headlines resembling sensationalist UC news articles on their front pages every single day.
