Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era

Chapter 248 The Neon-Unified Nintendo

After a brief consideration, Hanyu Hideki finally chose an apartment that was not rented out and was the closest to Yunshang Culture.

After all, it's just for convenience and a temporary stay.

A household construction looks beautiful, but it is too troublesome to clean up.

Please ask Yoshihiro Yada to help him find someone to get the house ready.

It's just a house to live in when working overtime, how simple it is.

After Yoshihiro Yada agreed, he went to help Hideki Hanyu clean up the apartment.

After he left, Kitahara Eri finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"I'm curious, how much property did Hanyu-san buy?"

Hideki Hanyu thought for a while, then spread his hands and said, "I can't remember the details."

"What? How much real estate Hanyu-san has invested in, and he doesn't even know it."

Eri Kitahara looked shocked, "You should know how much Hanyu-san spent."

"My property investments are complex, some are on loan, others are paid out in full, and others are bought with a mortgage."

Hideki Hanyu explained.

It is not uncommon to not know how many properties you have bought.

He was in China in his previous life, and he saw such news a lot.

The old lady went to the real estate bureau to register, and took out two real estate certificates that were thicker than books, and she couldn't count how many houses there were.

Some people buy a house and don't remember it until years later.

Some landlords rent out their houses and forget to collect the rent.

He invests frequently and has a lot of real estate. Sometimes he buys a building. Who would carefully count how many suites he has.

Except for the place where I live and the shops in Ginza, I don't bother to remember other places.

There are so many things to do on weekdays, the procedures are in his hands.

Otherwise, why ask Yada Liangyang to help him deal with it.

Even for rent collection, they are basically handed over to the real estate agency uniformly, and in the end they only look at the report.

But it was already January, thinking that something would happen soon, Hideki Hanyu said to Eri Kitahara.

"In two months, when the tax returns, there should be an accurate figure."

When paying taxes, he must pay property taxes, and all his assets will be settled systematically at that time.

At that time, how many suites he has and how much they are worth in total will be almost clear.

Eri Kitahara was speechless for a while, and only the tax bureau can help Hanyu Hideki settle the score.

But she was still very curious, and couldn't help but ask, "How much did Hanyu-san borrow from the bank to buy a house?"

Hideki Hanyu thought about it. The last time he applied for a loan at Dongyang Sogo Bank, the figure seemed to be .

"20 billion yen."

"what!"

Eri Kitahara was completely stunned.

If Hideki Hanyu hadn't given her a lot of bonuses and red envelopes last year, she would have felt that she was burdened with a loan of [-] million yuan, and the pressure would be quite heavy.

After all, the loan repayment alone exceeds 50 yen per month.

But for Hideki Hanyu, with a loan of more than 1000 billion yuan, the monthly loan repayment alone exceeds [-] million yen.

Coupled with the property tax, it is scary to think about it.

It took Eri Kitahara a long time to recover, and she said as if complaining, "The bank that I want to lend to Hanyu-san must be very concerned about Hanyu-san's health."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he remembered the bank manager of Dongyang Sogo Bank who was in charge of him, calling him whenever he had nothing to do.

He couldn't help laughing and said, "I really care about me."

"Hayu-san needs at least [-] million to repay the bank every month?" Kitahara Eri asked.

"The calculation of my loan at Dongyang Sogo Bank is very complicated, but it will generally be lower than that of Kitahara-san."

In fact, even according to Eri Kitahara's calculations, it can't be said to be high, just over two points.

The skyrocketing commercial loan interest rate in the Neon 80s is a matter of entering the late stage of the bubble.

At that time, in order to control the real estate bubble, the interest rate of commercial loans was once more than [-].

Hideki Hanyu doesn't care about this interest rate at all.

Mortgage and property taxes seem high.

But Neon's current economy is developing rapidly, and a large number of people are pouring into Tokyo.

And the real estate he invested in Tokyo is all in popular locations, whether it is office buildings, shops, or apartment houses, there is no need to worry about renting at all.

Relying on the rent can not only smooth out the expenditure, but also make a small profit.

"Hayu-san invests in so many properties, isn't he afraid of any risks?" Eri Kitahara asked worriedly.

"Of course I am afraid, so I will invest more this year, and I will reduce this investment from next year."

Hideki Hanyu said.

As soon as the Plaza Agreement is signed next year, all major forces will follow suit.

It is basically impossible to easily buy real estate in a good location like it is now.

He has small arms and legs, so it's better not to compete with those big forces.

His 1000 billion loan seems exaggerated to Eri Kitahara, but compared to those giants, it is not worth mentioning at all.

During the bubble period, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi relied on the Seibu Group to expand in the real estate industry, and his net worth exceeded [-] billion.

But the unit of measurement is the dollar.

That period was also a period of vigorous development of the neon game industry and the film and television entertainment industry.

In order to compete for the market, Elven Entertainment must fight with giants such as Nintendo and Sega.

As for Yunshang Entertainment, don't look at Johnny's firm being suppressed very badly.

But the time for thick accumulation and thin hair seems to be coming.

Coupled with the entry of other capital, Yunshang Entertainment will also face pressure.

At that time, he will have to worry about more things, and he will not be in the mood to focus on real estate investment.

If you really have spare money, you can just buy and sell stocks.

Anyway, you can make money by buying with your eyes closed.

This operation is nothing to Jinbo Eiichi.

After all, it's not his character to dance on the blade, it's to make money steadily.

Everyone thinks that the development of the cloud system is very good.

But Hideki Hanyu knew that he was just laying the foundation with foresight.

The bubble economy is both an opportunity and a shock.

Without a little foundation, it is estimated that they will be washed away before they get any benefits.

Without strength, even relying on the foam to float.

When the bubble bursts, it will only fall to pieces.

For the Cloud Department, the real challenge has yet to come.

……

After chatting with Eri Kitahara for a while, Hideki Hanyu returned to the studio to continue the research and development of "Super Mario".

Whether it's game mechanics, graphics, or level design.

Hanyu Hideki led the joint development team in every detail, overcame difficulties bit by bit, and promoted the development of the game from scratch.

Although there are mature games from later generations as a reference, various difficulties will still be encountered during the development.

But finally, relying on his memory and the joint efforts of the members of the joint development team, they were solved one by one without any risk.

If the members of the joint development team were initially willing to obey Hideki Hanyu's command, it was because of his status as the boss.

But after a few days of getting along, everyone found that except for the technical aspect, anyone in the development, encountered any problems, can find the answer in Hideki Hanyu.

All members of the joint development team were overwhelmed by Hideki Hanyu's ability and willingly obeyed Hideki Hanyu's command.

When Hideki Hanyu directed the development of the joint development team, he did not completely copy the original version.

The most important reason is that the IP of "Mario Brothers" is now under the long-term operation of Elf Entertainment.

Through two games, more than a year of comic serialization, and the linkage with the ice cube.

A very mature world view that has been constructed.

Therefore, in the game, in addition to the original gameplay, you can also clearly see some simple game background stories.

Therefore, compared with the original version, the new version of "Super Mario Bros." gives players a more gaming experience.

It is also easier for players to integrate into the game.

In this way, Hanyu Hideki was busy in the joint development team during the day, and returned to the apartment in Shirokanedai to rest at night.

A week passed without knowing it.

After devoting herself wholeheartedly to her career, all the beauties she cared about were left behind.

From this, it can be seen that women are nothing more than embellishments in Hideki Hanyu's life.

The sense of accomplishment that success in his career gives him is far more important than that of women.

But he doesn't care about the beauty, but the beauty cares about him.

As soon as the time turned, it came to January [-]th.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Hanyu Hideki left the joint development team.

Compared with the first few days, the time for the end of the recent work is obviously moving forward.

The reason why the off-duty time is earlier is not because there are fewer jobs, nor is it because the jobs have become easier.

In order to catch up with the release of GAME BOY, the development cycle is very tight.

Monthly, weekly, and daily work plans will be arranged in advance.

Never leave work if you are not busy.

The difficulties encountered in development have also not diminished at all.

The reason why get off work time is getting earlier and earlier.

It's all because everyone has worked so many days, and the cooperation has been extremely smooth.

The speed of completing the plan has become faster, and the speed of solving difficulties has become faster.

So the off-duty time is naturally getting earlier and earlier.

At this rate of development, it won't be long before getting off work at normal time will not be a problem.

At that time, everything will be on the right track, and Hideki Hanyu will not need to come to the joint development team to watch every day.

As soon as he walked out of the office, Hanyu Hideki was planning to go back to the apartment to rest.

But he saw his assistant Uemura Reiko waiting for him outside the door.

Hanyu Hideki hurriedly asked, "Uemura-san hasn't returned so late, do you have something to do with me?"

"I need to find Teacher Hanyu for something." Reiko Uemura replied.

"Then why don't you go in?" Hanyu Hideki asked.

"It's not about work."

Speaking of which, Uemura Reiko handed a piece of paper to Hanyu Hideki.

"This number is for Mr. Hanyu today."

Hanyu Hideki took a look and understood everything instantly.

This number is exactly that of the apartment in the port area.

"I see. It's okay to come to me directly for such things in the future."

"Yes, Mr. Hanyu."

"It's so late, hurry up and go home."

……

After leaving Yunshang Entertainment, Hanyu Hideki did not return to Shirokanedai this time, but drove to the apartment in Minato.

After he entered the apartment, he did not see Liu Xiaoli.

After going up to the second floor, I heard music coming from the dance studio.

When I walked to the door, I found that the beauty was dancing inside.

That slender figure, dancing lightly, is really pleasing to the eye, and people can't bear to look away after seeing it.

Liu Xiaoli didn't notice Hideki Hanyu's arrival at first.

After the song was over, when she went back to change the tape, she finally saw the person standing at the door.

Dang even rushed over happily, and threw himself into Hanyu Hideki's arms.

But immediately after, she hurriedly took a step back and said embarrassedly.

"Dirty your clothes."

After practicing dancing for so long, she has already sweated a lot.

Just now, he jumped into Hanyu Hideki's arms like that, and immediately stained Hanyu Hideki a lot.

Hanyu Hideki took the beauty back into his arms again and said nonchalantly.

"It's okay, I like the way you were just now."

But Liu Xiaoli heard the words, but coquettishly complained, "If you like it, you don't know how to contact me. I have been back for several days."

After returning to Tokyo after the tour, Liu Xiaoli found that Hideki Hanyu hadn't come to see her.

I thought it was just something temporary, but three days passed and I still haven't seen anyone.

Ask the reception staff of the association, but no one knows.

After all, how could his subordinates know the whereabouts of a big man like Hideki Hanyu.

Without Hideki Hanyu's help, she couldn't easily leave the troupe.

After staying up until today, she really misses Hideki Hanyu in her heart.

So I contacted Uemura Reiko through the association and left the phone number of the apartment.

He sneaked out of the hotel where the troupe was located, and finally came here.

Sure enough, Hanyu Hideki was still waiting.

"I've been working recently, and I really can't get away from it."

"Are you busy?" Liu Xiaoli asked with concern.

"Of course I'm busy. If I'm not busy, how can I make money to support you, buy beautiful clothes, and live in a beautiful house."

Hanyu Hideki scratched the beauty's nose.

"Thank you for your hard work, dear." The beauty hugged Hideki Hanyu.

"It's fine to know that I've worked hard. You're sweating all over. I haven't taken a shower after a busy day. We just go to take a shower together."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he picked up the shy beauty and walked upstairs.

In the apartment that night, the sound of the waves crashing on the embankment in Tokyo Bay also sounded.

……

On the second day, a refreshed Hideki Hanyu bid farewell to the beauty and continued to work at Spirit Entertainment.

But before leaving, he also agreed that he would go back to his apartment in the port area to rest at night.

After all, the other party will stay in Tokyo for another two days, and this overseas tour will come to an end.

Of course he wants to spend more time with each other during this last time.

In this way, he lived back and forth for another two days between Elven Entertainment and the port area.

When the time came to NO.19, Hideki Hanyu took the time to personally send the singing and dancing troupe to the plane as the person in charge of the event.

Say goodbye to the beauty reluctantly.

After the brief time together, Hanyu Hideki thought he could return to work.

But the next day, a phone call from the Neon Literature Promotion Association forced him to stop working again.

One of the most important awards in the neon literary world, the Naoki Award.

The 1983 winners were announced.

Hideki Hanyu beat other nominees and won the award with "Natsu no Journey, Kikujiro's Story".

At the age of 22 years and six months, he became the youngest winner of the Naoki Literary Award in history, surpassing Tsutsumi Chiyo, who won the award in 1940.

As the saying goes, "one stone stirs up a thousand waves".

Even if it's just a literary thing.

But because of Hideki Hanyu's unprecedented national favorability and the gimmick of the youngest winner.

So when the Neon Literary Promotion announced the winners.

After Hanyu Hideki won the Kate Greenway Award, he once again became the object of heated discussions in the neon public opinion.

On the TV news and in the print media, everyone was discussing Hideki Hanyu's award.

Some analyzed the reasons for the award, some praised Hideki Hanyu, and some were optimistic about Hideki Hanyu's future development in the literary world.

The media with previous experience still don't know why, as long as Hideki Hanyu's name is in the news, the ratings and circulation will definitely increase.

Taking advantage of the hot news, of course everyone should catch Hideki Hanyu, the national darling, and make a good performance.

Of course, this is only the case for reports. If you get an exclusive interview, the effect can be imagined.

In the anticipation of Hideki Hanyu's fans, all the media are looking for Hideki Hanyu.

Even if Hideki Hanyu hid in the studio, he still couldn't escape.

On the side of Yunshang Culture, the phones of various media rang almost non-stop from morning till night.

Compared with Yunshang Culture, Yunshang Entertainment has been "harassed" more seriously.

After all, in the entertainment world, I often have to deal with the media.

At this time, I can't hide even if I want to hide.

Even someone like Gang Haoyi who has a good relationship directly came to block people.

Fortunately, after Liu Xiaoli left, Hideki Hanyu returned to live in Shirokanedai's apartment.

That's why Gang Haoyi didn't block him.

But people dodged, but the phone and pager messages couldn't dodge.

In this round-the-clock "harassment" without dead ends, Hideki Hanyu couldn't concentrate on his work at all.

But there are so many people invited, if all of them are interviewed, he will stop working for the next few days.

Finally, after discussing with Xiao Xiaoguan, he decided to hold a press conference on the 24th.

Invite all media at once.

Then TV Tokyo, Fuji TV and several private TV stations broadcast the press conference.

In the history of the Naoki Award, Hideki Hanyu is the first time the winner has made such a big noise.

On the 24th, the media hall of the Xiaoxiaoguan Building.

Hideki Hanyu is making final preparations before going on stage.

Assistant Uemura Reiko is helping him check his makeup and organize his clothes.

The staff of the Xiaoxiao Library explained some issues that should be paid attention to during the interview and that need to be avoided.

It can be seen that everyone attaches great importance to this press conference.

This made Hanyu Hideki couldn't help saying, "You guys relax, I didn't feel anything at first, but now I'm a little nervous."

"There are so many media out there, and there will be live broadcasts, Mr. Hanyu can't make mistakes."

Uemura Reiko exhorted.

"Don't worry, it's not the first time I've come to this place." Hanyu Hideki said.

"Has Mr. Hanyu been here before? Why can't I remember?"

Uemura Reiko has served as Hanyu Hideki's assistant for so long, and she doesn't remember that Hanyu Hideki held an event here.

"I was able to make my debut as a writer, and that's where I received the picture book award from the Xiaoxiaoguan."

Hanyu Hideki glanced into the hall after speaking, and said with emotion, "It's been three years, and the decoration hasn't changed at all."

"It turned out that it was the awards ceremony. Iijima-san and I were still watching the replay on TV."

As Reiko Uemura said, she took out a pair of gold-rimmed glasses from her bag and put them on for Hideki Hanyu.

Then after looking at it carefully, he said, "Although three years have passed, Mr. Hanyu's appearance has not changed at all."

For today's occasion, Hanyu Hideki was naturally dressed in a formal suit.

With gold-rimmed glasses and a meticulous hairstyle, it is almost exactly the same as it was three years ago.

"Really? I hope book fans don't think it's just a video when they see the live broadcast." Hideki Hanyu joked.

"Maybe I really misunderstood it." Reiko Uemura said.

While the two were talking, the time for the press conference had arrived.

"Friends from the media, please let us welcome the winner of this year's Naoki 35 Awards, Mr. Hideki Hanyu."

In the sound of the host's introduction, Hideki Hanyu walked up from the stage step by step.

A handsome face, a gentle and elegant temperament, coupled with a slender and tall figure.

Such a young talent, with the halo of the Naoki Award, immediately made the media press the shutter without hesitation.

The flash lights turned white in an instant.

In a trance, many reporters felt that the picture in front of them was inexplicably familiar.

seem……

It seems to be the scene when Hideki Hanyu debuted and won awards three years ago.

All journalists are like this.

At this time, fans of Hideki Hanyu who were watching the broadcast in front of the TV, especially the fans who had known Hideki Hanyu since the award ceremony three years ago.

Same background, same eye-catching man.

I wondered if the TV station had released the video from three years ago.

But take a closer look.

Compared with Hideki Hanyu's slightly thinner figure three years ago.

Today's Hideki Hanyu is obviously healthier and stronger.

Although his appearance has not changed much, his temperament has become more stable and mature.

I was not a fan of Hideki Hanyu before, but I just turned on the TV by accident. The female audience who saw this scene immediately became fans of Hideki Hanyu.

For the female book fans who are originally Hanyu Hideki, the current Hanyu Hideki is undoubtedly more attractive.

In Osaka City, Igawa Koharu, a senior housewife fan of Hanyu Hideki, was also watching the live broadcast at this time.

For three years, I accompanied Hideki Hanyu from immaturity to maturity.

Watching Hideki Hanyu on TV.

In addition to liking it, I have more of the sense of "cultivation" that idol artists have in my heart.

This also made her fall in love with Hideki Hanyu even more.

I don't know when Hideki Hanyu's signing will be held this year.

When the time comes, you must make an appointment in advance, and then send her a carefully prepared gift.

And soon, Igawa Koharu learned the news he wanted to know at the press conference.

"I am very grateful to the Neon Literature Promotion Association for recognizing me, and I am very grateful to the book fans for their support..."

After Hideki Hanyu finished his formulaic opening.

Start accepting live media interviews.

Soon, a media asked Hanyu Hideki, "Mr. Hanyu, after winning the Naoki Award, do you have any plans to publish new works this year?"

Hideki Hanyu replied, "In April, new works are expected to be released, which will be attempts at new types of works."

The reporter asked, "What is the type of Hanyu-sensei's new work? Will it be serialized?"

Hideki Hanyu replied, "The new work is a story about love, and it will not be serialized. After the release, I will start this year's neon tour."

The reason why the serialization is not allowed is because Hanyu Hideki did it deliberately.

Negotiations with Xiaoguan are still going on.

With the worst outcome in mind, if it’s really not a deal and it’s just for publication, it doesn’t matter which publishing house you choose at that time.

If it can be serialized, it will be released in April, and the serialization will start soon.

Cooperating with the Xiaoguan, the negotiation will fall into a passive position.

If you don't seek cooperation from Xiaoxiaoguan, there is no need to negotiate.

As for his published work.

In this day and age, after much deliberation, I still feel that "Love Letter" is more appropriate.

It seems to be a tragedy, but there is regret in the affection, but the slight sadness in the book is extraordinarily warm and romantic.

It is a good continuation of his creative style.

After repeated interviews, the reporters got their wish, and the press conference ended smoothly.

For the media, Hanyu Hideki said at a press conference that he wanted to try a love story.

Undoubtedly, it is news worthy of special mention.

As for Hideki Hanyu's book fans, who are mostly women, when Hideki Hanyu wants to create a love story, all he can think of is anticipation and excitement.

Countless female book fans fantasize about what kind of love story Hanyu Hideki will bring them.

What is even more exciting is, of course, a group of publishing houses.

It is definitely not a secret in the publishing industry that Hideki Hanyu is negotiating contract renewal with Shogakukan.

Even if Xiaoxiaoguan wanted to hide it, Yunshang Culture's negotiating team would release the news in private.

Although it is only a negotiation for the priority renewal rights of picture books, everyone knows the meaning of contract renewal.

No one expected the renewal to work out.

And the new works revealed by Hideki Hanyu at the press conference this time immediately became an important weight.

Xiao Xiaoguan won the distribution rights of the new works, which is equivalent to announcing the success of the contract renewal negotiations.

If other publishers win the distribution rights of new works.

Basically, it is to tell the outside world that they succeeded in poaching the corner of the elementary school.

So when the Press Conference ended, this new work was immediately pursued by many publishers of Neon.

Everyone didn't even read the manuscript of the book, so they offered all kinds of exaggerated cooperation conditions.

In the eyes of these publishing houses, it doesn't matter even if they lose money publishing this book, the most important thing is to get the opportunity to cooperate with Hideki Hanyu.

Think about Hideki Hanyu's series of picture books, the magic snack shop series and best-selling novels, their status in the literary world.

It is impossible for publishing houses in the industry to give up.

And all of this is what Hanyu Hideki and Yunshang Culture want to see.

The reason for announcing new works at the press conference, or even holding a press conference.

For the present result.

Facing the turbulent oncoming peers, Xiaoguan undoubtedly fell into a huge passive situation.

We can only negotiate while competing with our peers for the distribution rights of Hideki Hanyu's new works.

Under such circumstances, the already difficult contract renewal negotiations have become even more difficult.

It is enough to describe it as worse.

However, there was a lot of disturbance from the outside world, and the team with its own culture on the cloud helped Hideki Hanyu deal with it.

After the press conference, Hideki Hanyu, who stirred up the entire neon publishing industry with a new work, re-invested in the development of "Super Mario Bros."

However, in his free time, Hanyu Hideki still had to find time to catch up on drafts.

For his new work, there was so much noise outside.

Publishers compete, book fans look forward to.

He couldn't wait for the dust to settle, and he couldn't even get the manuscript out in the end.

In such a busy schedule, the time has entered February.

The wrangling between Hideki Hanyu and the publishing houses is still going on.

But it does not affect the step-by-step development of Elf Entertainment.

Tetsuya Aragaki and Yuji Horii have finally completed the test of the third-party development machine for the GAME BOY handheld.

This development machine system was named the "Elf Scepter" development platform by Tetsuya Aragaki.

All studios of Fairy Entertainment will use the "Scepter of Fairy" development platform to start porting the game.

The joint development team, as well as the second development team of Magic Studio, will also use the "Elf Scepter" development platform to carry out the game development of "Super Mario Bros." and "Pokémon Red and Green".

After finishing the test of the "Elf Scepter" development platform, Tetsuya Aragaki led the neon hardware department to invest in the development of the cassette lock chip and the next generation of modular arcade machines.

At the same time, the research and development of storable cassettes in cooperation with Toshiba also announced a phased breakthrough.

With the help of the button battery, the game cartridge was successfully stored and read.

According to Toshiba's test, only one CR2032 button battery is needed to keep the cassette to store information for at least [-] months.

And this is just a test, if it is actually used, it is likely to be longer than this time.

The successful development of the memory cassette is definitely good news for Satoshi Tajiri, who is developing "Pokémon Red and Green".

After all, many of his game mechanics can only be realized if he can save files.

However, after the successful development of the memory cassette, another interesting thing happened.

That is the director of the "Shining Research Institute", Fujio Masuoka, who gave a series of "objective" negative comments after seeing the new cassette.

The reading and writing speed is slow, it is troublesome to replace the battery, and the storage capacity is limited. Once the battery is powered off, the stored content is easily lost.

Of course, Hideki Hanyu knew about these problems.

But this era can achieve this level, he is already very satisfied.

The memory cassette from the previous life also couldn't solve these problems.

However, Fujio Masuoka said that given him half a year, he will be able to use flash memory technology to help Hideki Hanyu develop a more reliable, convenient, and battery-free storable chip.

But Hideki Hanyu thought about it, but still refused.

First of all, there is already a cassette that can be used, so there is no need to waste the precious time and funds of the research institute.

Second, new technology represents a new production process.

Elf Entertainment still doesn't have the strength to play such a big game.

If you want Toshiba to help, it is even more impossible for Toshiba to invest huge sums of money in a new production line for Elf Entertainment.

Moreover, before the development of low-cost flash memory technology, the advantages mentioned by Fujio Masuoka were not important in terms of cost.

After rejecting Fujio Masuoka, Koji Takita, the editor-in-chief of "Game Base" magazine, approached him again.

It's already February, and the second Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Expo has also entered the preparation period.

Last year, there was Elf Entertainment to help, but this year only "Game Base" was held independently.

What's more, the awards and awards that did not exist last year will be added.

Takita Koji was somewhat uncertain, and wanted to ask Hanyu Hideki to help guide him.

After Hanyu Hideki read the proposal, he told Takita Koji.

"The proposal made by the editor-in-chief Takita is very good. I don't have anything to guide, just follow the plan."

"Isn't Chairman Hanyu personally guiding? What if something goes wrong?" Takita Koji said.

"If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. There is no perfect thing in this world. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Only when you know where your mistakes are, can you have a chance to correct them."

Hanyu Hideki is not a nanny, so it is impossible to intervene in everything.

"Game Base" has developed very well, and now it is the most authoritative game magazine with the largest circulation in Neon.

Takita Koji wanted him to guide him because he was afraid of the consequences of making mistakes.

What he said can be regarded as a support for the other party.

Don't let it go so that you won't be afraid to do anything because you are afraid.

"I understand."

With the support of Hideki Hanyu, Koji Takita immediately developed a lot of confidence and left happily.

The place where the two talked was in Eri Kitahara's office.

After Takita Koji left, Hanyu Hideki asked Kitahara Eri directly.

"What preparations does Elf Entertainment have for this year's Tokyo Electronic Entertainment Show?"

Eri Kitahara replied, "We are going to bring five games including Tetromino (Tetris), Dr. Mario, Hard-Blooded Hardcore, Kung Fu 2, and Light Gun Duck to the exhibition."

"The lineup is very strong, Kitahara-san is planning to steal Nintendo's limelight."

Hanyu Hideki joked.

Eri Kitahara heard the words, but couldn't laugh at all, instead she sighed and started talking.

"Nintendo's FC host is too strong, they..."

Next, Eri Kitahara talked about the recent development of Nintendo.

At the end of last year, Nintendo took advantage of the turmoil of hardware failures to implement a full recall strategy, and established a good reputation among players in one fell swoop.

Then the sales volume ushered in a surge, and the latest sales volume of the FC host has exceeded 160 million units.

Two million-selling games were born.

The console market where Neon was originally a melee has already been dominated by Nintendo.

Originally, like Eri Kitahara, a third-party game developer who dismissed the FC console.

Facing the temptation of profit, they didn't care about Nintendo's harsh royalty system at all, and began to invest in Nintendo's embrace.

With the addition of other third-party software developers, Nintendo is less concerned about Pokemon Entertainment.

And a mature home console brings more benefits to Nintendo.

For example, at the beginning of the year, they launched a compatible machine jointly developed with Sharp.

In layman's terms, this is a TV with an integrated FC host.

Due to Sharp's tailor-made video output signal, the picture effect of the compatible machine is far better than that of the FC mainframe output to the TV through the connecting line.

According to news from arcade dealers, Nintendo is still developing a new generation of VS arcade systems based on FC hosts.

In the end, Eri Kitahara said, "I am under a lot of pressure now, and someone in the sales department has suggested that we resume negotiations with Nintendo."

As he said that, Eri Kitahara gritted his teeth, "I almost fired the guy who made the suggestion."

Hanyu Hideki persuaded, "People in the sales department don't know our plans in America, so it's not surprising to say that such a suggestion."

"Of course I know, otherwise it would not be a near miss, but a real dismissal." Kitahara Eri said.

Then she glanced at Hideki Hanyu with a calm face, and asked curiously, "Is Hanyu-san not stressed?"

"Of course there is pressure, but I can still bear it. After all, the current situation is still within my expectations."

Hanyu Hideki saw that Kitahara Eri was still sad, and continued to comfort him with a smile.

"Take it easy, Kitahara-san. If there is so much pressure now, and we will compete directly with Nintendo in America in the future, Kitahara-san may not even be able to sleep."

Hideki Hanyu clearly remembers that the Nintendo console sold more than 300 million units in the first year of Neon's release.

But that's nothing compared to sales in America.

After Nintendo landed in America, it changed its name to the NES FC host, and sold 100 million units in New York alone in the first month.

The total historical sales volume has reached 300 million units.

The total global sales volume is more than 6000 million units.

After 1985, the success of the FC host helped Nintendo earn more than [-] million US dollars in net profits from all over the world every year.

After Nintendo's stock entered the Tokyo Stock Exchange, it even rose to the point that the monitor could not display it.

Compared to when the FC host was just showing off, these are the real pressures.

This is why Hanyu Hideki wants to occupy the American market first.

Because he understands that as long as he wins the American market first.

With the influence of America in this era, it is easy to radiate products all over the world.

If you want to learn from Sega, first fight to the death with Neon and Nintendo.

Not only can't catch up with Nintendo's first-mover advantage, but it will startle the snake.

But these words, he couldn't tell Kitahara Eri.

Even if he said it, it would probably only put more pressure on Eri Kitahara.

His friend was undoubtedly a very good manager.

But the ability is still limited.

Whether it is bearing pressure or strategic vision, there are limitations unique to women.

In his mind, Satoshi Iwata, who briefly returned to Neon during the New Year's Eve, and went to America after the next year.

It is more suitable to be the helm of elf entertainment.

However, although Satoru Iwata has made rapid progress, his growth is still not enough.

In a short period of time, Spirit Entertainment still needs him to control the overall situation.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu said to Eri Kitahara, "Instead of worrying about Kitahara-san, it's better to think about the layout of the exhibition in advance. I will definitely stay in the joint development team recently, and I don't have time to worry about it."

"Don't worry, Hanyu-san. Although I'm under a lot of pressure, I won't delay my work. I started preparing for the exhibition last week."

Eri Kitahara said.

"That's good. Don't put too much pressure on Kitahara-san. Nintendo is developing very well now, but we are well prepared. Kitahara-san doesn't trust others, don't you believe me?"

Hanyu Hideki's tone was full of confidence.

Nintendo's development is very worrying, but with foresight, he has worked hard to drag Nintendo back.

A group of ace games that originally belonged to Nintendo.

A producer who originally helped Nintendo develop games.

Now most of them are cut off by him.

Even "Super Mario Brothers", which helped Nintendo conquer the world, will be won by him.

Even at critical moments, Sega's "Sonic the Hedgehog" can be released ahead of schedule.

After all, the configuration of the Elf host under development fully meets the requirements of this game.

By various means, Nintendo still wants to develop smoothly in America as it did in the previous life.

Certainly not possible.

It will not be as easy to defeat the Elf host as it is to deal with Sega.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu has more confidence in the future decisive battle.

But faith alone is not enough.

We still need to take practical action, first develop "Super Mario Bros."

So he didn't talk to Eri Kitahara again, and went back to the studio to get busy.

It's just that he hadn't stayed in the studio for a few days, Hirohashi Asako called him to Yunshang Entertainment again.

Yunshang Entertainment, Hirohashi Asako's president's office.

After Hideki Hanyu entered the door, he saw that besides Asako Hirohashi, Santomo Iijima was also there.

He thought that Santomo Iijima was reporting to work, so he didn't care, and joked directly to Asako Hirohashi.

"I have a lot of things to do at Elven Entertainment, and I rushed here because Qianzi-san said there was good news. Qianzi-san must not say that there is bad news besides good news."
