Traveling Through the Tokyo Bubble Era
Chapter 379 Nakayama Hayao’s Courage
Chapter 379 Nakayama Hayao’s Courage
After discussing the matter of investing in Italian logistics.
Hideki Hanyu continued to play the second half of the Los Angeles Cup with the Italian "Baba".
Although Monica Bellucci tried her best, she not only fouled continuously, but also imitated Tyson's foul at critical moments.
But in the end, Hideki Hanyu won the game.
Scored three goals, a hat trick.
It's a big win.
However, due to consecutive overtimes.
When Hideki Hanyu left the court, it was already afternoon.
Originally, he was considering going to the San Francisco exhibition today, but now he definitely won't be able to go.
After thinking about it, Hideki Hanyu decided to go to the gym.
I've been running around everywhere these days and haven't exercised for a long time, so my body is still not used to it.
Although there is a gym in Hibiscus Garden.
But exercising alone is not as exciting as being with a group of big guys.
The brothers at the iron gym are experienced, enthusiastic and nice to talk to. Hanyu Hideki really likes to exercise there.
Of course, the place where he applied for the card was the best gym in Los Angeles.
There are the most professional coaches there who can provide targeted guidance according to his needs.
For example, the coach suggested that he should do more anaerobic training on his upper thighs.
This can promote male hormone secretion and improve strength.
Of course, just exercising without supplementing nutrition is not enough.
Hideki Hanyu spent a lot of money to prepare special protein powder.
In addition to protein.
It is also combined with arginine, zinc, vitamin B and other substances.
I also eat fruits rich in flavonoids on weekdays.
All of them can help him stay healthy and enhance his combat effectiveness.
Of course, everything will be done under the monitoring and guidance of personal doctors and nutritionists.
As a billionaire, body care has been integrated into his daily life, and there is no need to do it deliberately.
Speaking of which, the gift Li Jianxi gave him last time was the most precious Korean ginseng.
However, his personal doctor and nutritionist did not recommend him to eat it.
It means that he is extremely talented and powerful, but sometimes it is not good to take too much supplement.
Therefore, before Hanyu Hideki came to America, he had the Korean ginseng sent back to Sendai to his family.
-
Hibiscus Garden.
Hideki Hanyu returns from training.
Seeing his strong energy, Liu Xiaoli asked curiously, "Didn't you go to work?"
Hideki Hanyu said, "Things are handled relatively quickly in Hollywood. I saw it was still early, so I went to the gym to exercise for a while."
"I'm so busy at work, but I still go to exercise and I'm not afraid of tiring myself out." Liu Xiaoli said distressedly.
Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki leaned into the beauty's ear and said, "I can't do anything with a beauty like you all day long. I have to waste my energy."
When Liu Xiaoli heard this, she immediately patted Hanyu Hideki's chest angrily.
But then I felt that what Hanyu Hideki said made sense.
It is normal for a young man to have strong energy and blood and to have physical and mental needs.
Thinking of this, she shyly whispered, "Otherwise I..."
"Eat first, we'll talk at night."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he took Liu Xiaoli to eat, feeling quite impatient.
Next...
There is no need to go into details about what happened in one night.
The next day.
Hanyu Hideki got on the helicopter feeling refreshed and left the Hibiscus Garden.
After an hour's flight, the plane arrived at the apron of the Moscone Exhibition Center in San Francisco.
Entering the exhibition hall, Hanyu Hideki came to the booth of Elf Entertainment and saw that everything was ready, just waiting for the opening of the E3 exhibition, and he didn't need to worry more.
So I found Satoru Iwata and asked about the marketing plans for the subsequent launch of electronic pets in other regions.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Kitahara Eri told him that an unexpected person wanted to talk to him on the phone.
"Li Jianxi? Why did he call me suddenly? Did something go wrong when our people went to South Korea for inspection?"
Hideki Hanyu looked at Satoru Iwata.
But Satoru Iwata shook his head and said, "Our people have just passed by, so there should be no results yet."
Kitahara Eri said, "From the sound of it, I think there is something I want to ask Hanyu-san for. You will know if you call me back."
"Ok."
Hanyu Hideki found a phone number in the exhibition hall and called Li Jianxi back.
After a while, Hanyu Hideki hung up the phone with a strange expression.
Next to her, Eri Kitahara asked curiously, "What's going on?"
"Samsung sent several representatives who wanted to participate in experiencing Elf Entertainment's work and activities at the exhibition. I hope we can accommodate them."
Hanyu Hideki's answer was very ordinary.
But Eri Kitahara was even more confused, "For such a small matter as sending a representative, do I need to contact you specifically?"
"Because there are Li Jianxi's sons and daughters among the representatives."
As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Kitahara Eri finally understood.
Of course, there is no need for ordinary representatives to contact Hideki Hanyu.
But the descendants of the heir may also be the future head of Samsung. No matter what they do, they must say hello to the master Hideki Hanyu.
"How are we going to entertain?"
To be honest, this was the first time for Kitahara Eri to experience such a thing.
Although the cooperation between Samsung and Genie Entertainment is not deep.
But after all, it is a giant in the South Korean market, and the respect that should be given must still be given.
"The ordinary members of the delegation will find a way to accommodate them. As for Li Jianxi's son and daughter, I will take them back to Moon Lake to entertain them."
It wasn't that Hanyu Hideki didn't want the two of them to stay in the hotel.
But because of the E3 exhibition, hundreds of companies and a large number of tourists poured into San Francisco, which has already crowded the city.
Whether it is a high-end hotel or an ordinary hotel, they are basically in a full state.
Near the Moscone Exhibition Hall, many tourists who came to participate in the E3 exhibition set up tents to live in because they could not book a place to stay.
In later generations, during the Golden Week in China, there are billions of floating population, and a city can receive tens of millions of tourists.
To foreigners, it seems like a science fiction story.
In Europe, the number of tourists on this scale is simply larger than the population of some small countries.
Even in America, it is difficult for ordinary cities to withstand a sudden large number of tourists without preparation.
Therefore, ordinary employees can still feel aggrieved.
But we can't let the young master and young lady from Samsung share a room with the senior executives of Elf Entertainment.
Anyway, San Jose is only a 10-minute drive from San Francisco.
If you take a helicopter, you can get there in 10 minutes.
Besides, Li Jianxi called specifically because he wanted Hanyu Hideki to take care of the child.
Hideki Hanyu had to fulfill his duty as a landlord.
Kitahara Eri asked, "When will the other party arrive?"
"Said the flight is this afternoon."
"Do you need us to pick you up at the airport?"
"The other party said no, he would come directly to the Moscone Exhibition Hall."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he told Kitahara Eri, "Kitahara-san, go and do your work. Just leave this matter to me."
"Okay." Kitahara Eri simply ignored it.
Yunshang Communication has just been established, and the business in America needs to be reintegrated. She comes to E3 this time and has a lot to do.
Besides, after Hideki Hanyu arrived in the morning, he arranged for her to go to Italy to develop a logistics company.
She really didn't have time to care about her two children.
After Kitahara Eri left, Hanyu Hideki made several more calls.
In addition to telling Liu Xiaoli that she would not go back for the time being to entertain guests.
They also arranged for the Filipino maid from "Moon Lake" to clean the house and have the chef prepare the dinner.
After dealing with this, he continued back to the booth.
After all, I was only halfway through my conversation with Satoru Iwata.
Not counting being busy, it was afternoon in a blink of an eye.
Just as Hideki Hanyu and Eri Kitahara were chatting in the background about developing logistics business in Italy and having the opportunity to extend their tentacles from the Apennine Peninsula to the European continent.
A subordinate came to report, "Chairman Hanyu, the Samsung delegation has arrived."
"Where is the person?" Hanyu Hideki asked.
"Just outside the booth."
"Let's go out and have a look together." Hanyu Hideki said to Kitahara Eri.
As for Michael Katz and Satoru Iwata, due to work reasons, they returned to San Jose at noon.
The two walked out backstage together.
Then I saw a group of people, led by staff, visiting the booth of Elf Entertainment.
It was the Samsung delegation.
There were two leaders in this group.
A young man with glasses, fair skin, and a gentle manner.
The other is a pretty girl wearing a blue dress with a standard South Korean high school girl's hairstyle.
When Hideki Hanyu and Eri Kitahara came out, the employees said hello one after another.
The Samsung delegation also stopped visiting and walked towards Hanyu Hideki.
"Hello, Mr. Hanyu, I am Li Zairong. I am here to visit and study this time. Please take good care of me, sir."
"Hello, Mr. Hanyu, I am Li Hanzhen. Please take care of me, sir."
The two of them greeted Hanyu Hideki in English proficiently.
He is well-spoken and generous. From the outside, he is obviously a kid from a wealthy family with a good upbringing.
"Hello, I have received a call from Mr. Li. In the next few days, I will arrange for you to understand Elf Entertainment's work at the exhibition. If you need any help, please feel free to ask..."
While Hanyu Hideki was speaking, he was also looking at the two people in front of him.
Although it was the first time for him to see these two people in this time and space.
But in his memory, he was not unfamiliar with these two people.
After all, there will be a lot of news about these two people on the Internet in the future.
As the future heir of Samsung, Lee Jae-yong was sent to prison as soon as he took over.
From being imprisoned to being imprisoned, to being pardoned later, a series of news has been widely reported in the country.
As for Li Hanzhen, to some extent, she is more famous than her brother on the domestic Internet.
After all, compared to the wealthy young master.
Everyone is still more interested in beautiful young ladies from wealthy families.
Besides, from looks to worth, this person really deserves the title of "the richest flower in the world".
Especially in public, the other party's look that is three parts sneer, three parts cold and four parts careless, as if he is a world-weary face who satisfies all material needs, is just like a character from a novel.
But now...
Hanyu Hideki looked at the other party casually, she was still a 16-year-old girl.
Apart from being beautiful, there is no hint of the temperament of later generations.
It was even more unexpected that the other party would desperately marry a bodyguard in the future.
Of course, let’s not mention all the conspiracy theories about the other party’s marriage to his bodyguard.
After all, Samsung is a big family with too many weird things.
Next, Hideki Hanyu introduced Eri Kitahara to the two of them.
Then he personally accompanied the two of them to visit the booth.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Hanyu Hideki invited the two of them, "I have prepared dinner for you at home, and you can go now."
"Okay." The two agreed politely.
Although compared to Li Fuzhen, Hanyu Hideki is only seven years older.
However, Hanyu Hideki started from scratch and rose to his current net worth, fame, and status, which even their father could not compare to.
Therefore, when facing Hideki Hanyu, the two of them still had a very solemn attitude.
However, when Hanyu Hideki saw this, he smiled and said.
"We are all young people. There is no need to be so nervous. You can try to forget your parents' instructions and just treat it as coming to America to hang out with friends."
"Okay." The two of them obviously still couldn't let go.
Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki led the two of them towards the tarmac while looking for topics to talk about.
After all, it was uncomfortable for him to be so embarrassed all the time.
"When you come to America this time, is there anything you want to visit?"
As soon as he asked this question, Li Zairong looked at his sister and answered first, "I want to visit the UCB campus."
UCB, the University of California, Berkeley.
"Why do you want to visit the university?" Hanyu Hideki asked casually.
Li Zairong said, "My father hopes that I can study in college here for two years."
"So that's it. If there is a chance in the future, we can see each other more often."
Hanyu Hideki said and looked at the Samsung Princess, "Where is Miss Li?"
"I...I want to go to Disneyland."
The eldest princess, who had always been calm and generous, suddenly lost her temper when she said this.
It also made Hanyu Hideki realize that the other party was still just a 16-year-old girl after all.
"It wouldn't be too much trouble to go to Disneyland in Los Angeles, but it's too late today."
While the three of them were talking, they had already reached the tarmac.
The two of them were somewhat confused when they saw that they were going to make a helicopter.
It's not because making a helicopter is so great. After all, as a child of a wealthy family, I haven't experienced anything since I was a child.
Hideki Hanyu explained, "You guys arrived a little late. We can no longer book a hotel in San Francisco. You need to rest at my home in San Jose for the night."
Then the brother and sister immediately said politely, "Sorry to disturb Mr. Hanyu."
"It's nothing. Let's get on the plane quickly. Dinner is already prepared at home."
After inviting the two brothers and sisters to get on the helicopter, they arrived above the "Moon Lake" Manor in just 10 minutes after taking off.
At this time, the sky had darkened and "Moon Lake" turned on all the lights.
The main building is all white and has an avant-garde shape, like a science fiction "castle" from the future.
The circular swimming pool on the roof glows blue under the lights, like a luminous blue jade belt wrapped around the white building.
But the most beautiful thing is not the house, but the crescent-shaped artificial lake dotted with lights.
Viewed from the sky, it looks like a crescent moon embedded in the ground.
On the plane, even though the brothers and sisters Li Zairong and Li Hanzhen were well-informed children of wealthy families, they couldn't help but admire the beauty of this house in their hearts.
After the helicopter landed, the three people got off the plane.
Hanyu Hideki made a welcoming gesture, "Welcome you two to my home, Moon Lake."
After Hanyu Hideki was looking for a topic just now, he had a simple conversation along the way.
The two brothers and sisters are no longer as reserved as they were when they first met.
Li Hanzhen took the initiative and said, "Mr. Hanyu's house is really beautiful."
Hanyu Hideki said, "Thank you for the compliment. If you like, you can come and play often."
"If my brother comes to study abroad, he can come more often. It's not easy for me to come out just once."
As she gradually let go, Li Hanzhen walked to the slowly flowing swimming pool and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"It's a swimming pool. You can follow the water flow to the water slide in front. Along the water slide, you can fall into the large swimming pool." Hanyu Hideki explained.
"is it?"
Li Hanzhen ran forward along the circulation swimming pool curiously, as if she wanted to see the water slide Hanyu Hideki mentioned.
Next to him, Li Zairong saw this and said to Hanyu Hideki, "My sister is ignorant and makes Mr. Hanyu laugh."
"Isn't it normal to be lively at this age? Now that you're out, relax. I'm only five years older than you, so you don't have to treat me like a parent."
Hideki Hanyu just finished speaking to Lee Jae-jong.
Li Hanzhen's voice came from the distance, "There is really a big water slide."
Then the other party ran back and said regretfully, "It's a pity that I didn't bring a swimsuit, otherwise I would have had some fun."
Hideki Hanyu said, "It doesn't matter if you don't bring one. I always have swimsuits of various styles and sizes in my house. If you want to play in the water, you can pick one that suits you."
"Really?" Li Hanzhen looked delighted.
Obviously, Li Hanzhen has gradually entered a relaxed state compared to her brother who is still holding it.
"Of course it's true, but before that, let's have dinner first. The chef is ready."
Because the Filipino maid had already come up to signal Hanyu Hideki.
Next, Hanyu Hideki took his brother and sister downstairs to eat.
We didn’t prepare Korean food for dinner, but French dishes.
The main reason is that Hanyu Hideki is really not interested in eating a table of kimchi.
Therefore, none of the chefs in Moon Lake know how to cook Korean food.
Dinner is over.
Gradually, the few people who became familiar with each other decided to go play in the water together.
After all, no matter how mature these brothers and sisters are, they are still only eighteen and sixteen, and they are both at the age where they love to play.
It was seen that Li Hanzhen chose a conservative swimsuit with a skirt and only exposed her arms and legs.
Hanyu Hideki thought of something and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
He didn't pay attention for a moment, but Li Hanzhen noticed the look in his eyes.Even though it made the little girl blush shyly.
After all, even if Hideki Hanyu puts aside his net worth and a bunch of titles, he is still a super handsome guy who is enough to make girls obsessed.
In addition, after changing into a swimsuit, the healthy and stylish figure is fully exposed, and the destructive power on women is really huge.
Next to him, Lee Jae-yong is as skinny and immature as a chicken compared to Hideki Hanyu.
Seeing Li Hanzhen's reaction, Hanyu Hideki wanted to explain, but the little girl immediately ran away shyly.
Seeing this scene, Hanyu Hideki thought that this was really a misunderstanding.
He just thought that in another time and space, the three-star princess suffered from hereditary peroneal muscular atrophy since she was a child.
Once the disease attacks, the limbs atrophy, almost like a disabled person.
The source of the disease is said to be the wife of the founder of Samsung.
Several members of the Samsung family have the inheritance.
However, Li Hanzhen was the only one among Li Jianxi's children who inherited it.
Compared with other relatives who need wheelchairs and crutches, Li Hanzhen's condition can only be said to be milder.
But it can also be seen that the other party is a skinny type.
And in public, the other party is never seen wearing clothes that expose her arms and legs.
And when walking for a long time, you need help from others.
It can only be said that the other party was born early. If it were at this time, these diseases could be screened through third-generation test tubes.
But what makes Hideki Hanyu strange is.
The Li Hanzhen he saw at this time had normal limbs, fair and healthy skin, and no sign of genetic disease at all.
This was also the reason why Hideki Hanyu was staring at each other just now.
Why did Li Hanzhen in front of him not suffer from a genetic disease like in another time and space?
Hanyu Hideki was puzzled.
In the end, it can only be attributed to the differences in time and space.
Next to him, Li Zairong naturally saw his sister's reaction.
But oddly enough.
After discovering that Hideki Hanyu was eating his sister’s tofu with his eyes.
Not only did Li Zairong say nothing, he immediately turned around and pretended that I didn't see him.
He even thought about some of the words his father told him before coming to America.
He was already thinking in his mind that he must quickly find a reason to leave so that Hanyu Hideki and his sister could be alone.
that's it.
Li Hanzhen misunderstood.
Lee Jae-yong has another purpose in mind.
Hideki Hanyu wanted to explain but didn't know how.
After the whole game, the atmosphere seemed very weird.
-
The next day.
The three people who gradually became familiar with each other had breakfast and then took a helicopter to the E3 exhibition site in San Francisco.
Compared to yesterday, which was only a lively scene, today it can be said to be a sea of people.
The exhibition opens at nine o'clock.
Hideki Hanyu and the others arrived at eight o'clock.
But at this time it is no longer possible to enter through the main entrance.
Fortunately, you can use the internal staff channel.
After arriving at the Elf Entertainment booth, Hideki Hanyu separated from his brother and sister.
After all, as far as reception is concerned, the performance of the landlord's friendship last night was enough.
After arriving at the scene, staff from Samsung and Elf Entertainment were naturally in charge.
And this is the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
Consoles, handheld consoles, arcades, PC games, electronic toys, everything.
The most interesting electronic entertainment devices of today's era can be seen here.
For young people, this is paradise.
Anyway, Hanyu Hideki saw that with the help of the staff, Li Zairong had already sat in a second-generation light gun space machine combat game cabin.
Obviously, no matter how mature the future head of Samsung is, he is still a young man at this time.
As for Li Hanzhen, she was obsessed with the doll machine specially used for the event at the booth.
There are all kinds of cute plush dolls from "Tamako" and "Pokémon" inside.
After settling down the two of them, Hanyu Hideki found Satoru Iwata, and he was going to take him around the site to see what new products would be at this year's exhibition.
Although the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Exhibition has great influence.
However, due to market constraints and player preferences, many manufacturers that specialize in the European and American markets still prefer to announce their products at the E3 exhibition.
Along the way, Hideki Hanyu discovered that the prosperity of the American market had indeed stimulated the enthusiasm of capital for investment.
In the past, Elf Entertainment stood too high and only saw big companies like Nintendo and Sega.
I only care about the products of these big manufacturers.
But today, after simply turning around, Hideki Hanyu saw no less than ten types of electronic pets, as well as four handheld products and three host platforms.
In order to attract consumers, everyone has a lot of designs and imagination.
The most important thing is that among those three consoles, there is also a [-]-bit console.
But that's not surprising.
There is no shortage of people to do any profitable business in this world.
In the years when Nintendo's FC console dominated the market, twelve consoles were launched to challenge Nintendo's position.
But what is really remembered by everyone?
That's Sega's MD console.
As well as the PCE host developed by Hudson and Neon Electric.
As for other consoles, they are all lost to history.
What is the current video game console landscape in the world?
In the European and American markets, Elf Entertainment's PS console occupies more than 80.00% of the market share.
In the Asian market, PS consoles and FC consoles are fighting fiercely.
However, due to performance and game library reasons, the inherent chassis of the FC console is constantly being cannibalized by the PS console.
The PS console was released two years ago and captured 30.00% of the market from Nintendo within four months, exceeding the sales target set before its launch.
As for other emerging markets, including Latin America and South Africa, Sega successfully used Atari channels to smuggle its products into the market, and its sales were booming.
For these markets, Elf Entertainment has no time to take into account.
On the contrary, Nintendo is actively expanding and competing with Sega for territory.
Sega's president, Hayao Nakayama, often scolded Nintendo for this incident. If they couldn't win over Elf Entertainment, they came to trouble him.
From this point of view, today's console market can be regarded as divided into three parts, with some strong and some weak.
The space available to accommodate other console platforms is very small.
The most critical thing is that without the support of third-party games, even if you build a platform, it will be useless.
But in this case, why are so many manufacturers entering the console market?
In fact, it is very simple, because although the market is small, there is still a market.
Although the three major host manufacturers compete with each other, before the end of the road, everyone will still learn from the lessons of Atari's collapse and strictly review the games that want to be launched on the platform.
This has also resulted in games on the three major platforms basically maintaining a certain level of quality.
However, the strict review of the three major platforms does not mean that shoddy games will disappear.
Developers who lack funds or have no conscience will still develop shoddy junk games.
There are even some restricted games.
Can’t get on the three major platforms?
It doesn't matter, isn't there a PC version that doesn't require review?
After the console market recovered, many platform manufacturers have focused on these games.
They develop hosts, relax review, or don't review at all.
There is also no royalty system for the three major platforms.
There is no limit on development quantity and no control over cassette production.
It doesn’t even care about the retail price of the cassette.
A savage mess.
The game is shoddy and so is the console.
These guys are not looking for long-term development at all, they are just running to get a vote and leave.
The game is extremely rubbish and the promotion is extremely beautiful.
Invisibly, it even helped Elf Vision, which was now renamed Spirit Vision.
Lao Huang from Spirit Vision told Hanyu Hideki that there are some R&D institutions that specialize in designing modular hosts for these manufacturers and came to Spirit Vision to customize low-end graphics processing chips.
Color, performance, nothing matters.
It doesn't matter if it fits or not.
The requirements are simple and cheap!High compatibility!
to this end.
When Divine Vision was developing the next generation graphics processing chip, it had to temporarily allocate manpower to develop a graphics processing chip code-named Nitor0110-C for these guys.
C, which means compatible, means compatible.
Well...it's for fun.
To put it bluntly, it’s the beggar’s version.
However, the consoles of these manufacturers are niche after all. Surviving in the cracks of the three major console platforms, the profits they can bring to God Vision are limited.
Lao Huang is just trying to sell mosquito legs as meat.
But at this time, Lao Huang didn't know that he had sold beggar's version chips to these manufacturers.
When these guys advertise, in order to exaggerate, they will directly use the banner of the same hardware as the PS console.
Invisibly, it helped God Vision to increase its popularity.
But these are the aftermath.
After viewing the booths of hardware products, Hideki Hanyu also took a look at the booths of game developers.
Many games that have been launched on Neon will undergo a certain degree of revision and reset when they are launched in Europe and the United States due to cultural barriers.
For example, Elf Entertainment's "Contra" has differences between the European and American versions and the Asian versions.
What's interesting is that Hideki Hanyu also saw major Hollywood companies at the exhibition.
They have either set up their own game development departments or joined forces with other manufacturers to develop and monetize their movie IP into games.
After all, for Hollywood, there can never be too much peripheral market.
Originally, Elf Entertainment developed "Squirrel Wars" with the help of Disney's "Kiki and Didi" cartoon, and it is now one of the top games on the PS console platform.
But it is a pity that Elf Entertainment has been unable to develop the second generation of "Squirrel Wars".
The game cartridge of "Squirrel Brothers" has sold more than 300 million copies around the world, and the sales share given to Disney alone exceeds 1000 million US dollars.
It has played an incalculable amount of help in growing the influence of cartoon characters.
You can earn a share, but you can't earn as much as you can by developing your own games.
Therefore, when faced with Elf Entertainment's application for cooperation in the development rights of the sequel to "Squirrel Wars", Disney refused without hesitation.
Disney decided to do it themselves.
Although sales on the PS console platform are restricted by the royalty system.
But it is more profitable than just giving a small share.
After a while, he saw "First Blood", "007", "A Nightmare on Elm Street"... and other games adapted from well-known movies.
Some chose Elf Entertainment’s PS console platform, and some chose the EGP arcade platform.
There are also some games that are only released on PC.
Before the exhibition started and tourists poured in, Hanyu Hideki and Iwata walked around the venue hastily.
In addition to what I said before, of course I have not forgotten my old friends Nintendo and Sega.
It is a pity that Nintendo and Sega did not come up with a new generation of consoles as Hanyu Hideki imagined.
Nintendo still focuses on disk drives, WS handheld consoles, and several new games.
As for Sega, in addition to games, the hardware is also like the Tokyo Electric Show, painting a pie for players.
Anyway, Sega understands that their audience is no longer in Europe, America and Asia.
Therefore, whether it is the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Expo or the E3 exhibition, you can just paint the pie. What you really want to do is to go to emerging markets.
"Iwata-san, let's go back, there's nothing to see anymore."
After discovering that there was no product that could threaten Elf Entertainment for the time being, Hideki Hanyu was too lazy to look at the small companies around the corner.
Join Satoru Iwata backstage at the Genie Entertainment booth.
Hanyu Hideki discovered that Takita Koji, the editor-in-chief of "Game Base", was actually here.
The opening ceremony is about to begin. Why is this guy here if he doesn't stay with the people from the America Video Game Software Association?
Hanyu Hideki asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with Editor Takita?"
"There is indeed something I want to tell the president."
Takita Koji asked, "The president just visited the exhibition hall. Is there a booth for Sika?"
"Here we go, still promoting the [-]-bit console that has not yet been developed. There is nothing to say."
When Hanyu Hideki said this, he thought that Takita Koji would not ask him this for no reason, so he asked directly.
"What Takita-san wants to say has something to do with Sega?"
Koji Takita replied, "I just received news that Sega intends to hold local video game exhibitions in South Africa and Latin America."
"Nakayama Hayao is really courageous." Satoru Iwata said with emotion.
Everyone present was smart and realized what the head of Sega wanted to do.
Taking advantage of Sega's console share in emerging markets, it took advantage of the situation to hold exhibitions.
It is easy to support a group of local developers.
As the saying goes, the three stooges are better than Zhuge Liang.
There is a market and third-party support.
If Hayao Nakayama really pulls this off, Sega's threat will undoubtedly rise sharply.
Hanyu Hideki understands that although Genie Entertainment and Nintendo are inextricably linked to each other in the Asian market.
We also have to deal with the WS handheld console and face the challenges of Nintendo disk drives, so we can't spare our energy to explore emerging markets.
But it’s impossible to keep watching Sega make trouble.
He asked Takita Koji, "Don't the game base have a branch over there? Can you participate?"
Even if you can't get the dominant position, you still have to put a nail in the exhibition.
Takita Koji shook his head, "No chance, I tried to contact him."
Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki touched his chin and began to think.
After a moment, he looked at Takita Koji.
"Since Sega wants to be alone, let's try to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf."
Takita Koji asked, "How?"
"Contact the members of the America Video Game Software Association. They dare to ignore the game base, but they certainly dare not ignore the entire America media industry."
Hideki Hanyu gave his advice.
Even if the America Electronic Game Software Association cannot take the lead, it will definitely become one of the organizers.
With the gaps, it will be much easier for "Game Base" to do things.
Maybe if Sega is busy, it will be used as a wedding dress for Elf Entertainment.
Takita Koji said, "Okay, it happened to be during the exhibition, and representatives from all the associations were there. I communicated with them immediately. I think they will definitely be interested."
"These guys who salivate when they smell meat will definitely be interested."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he asked again, "Besides this matter, is there anything else?"
Takita Koji nodded, indicating that there was still more.
“Another thing is that most association members said that the E3 exhibition and the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Exhibition are too close, which will cause manufacturers to focus on one exhibition and cannot take care of both.
If there is still time to wait until April, it will leave too much blank time in the second half of the year. Once another organization holds other exhibitions in the second half of the year, a competitor will easily appear. "
"What do they think?" Hanyu Hideki asked.
In fact, he considered this last year, but the first E3 lacked attention, so he had to take advantage of the popularity of the Tokyo Electric Power Show.
After all, in its original time and space, the main targets of the E3 exhibition were retailers, media, and finally players.
But in this day and age, it has been transformed into an exhibition whose main audience is players.
The reason is very simple. In today's era, there are too few professional game media. It can be said that the most professional one is the "Game Base" he founded.
Retailers also lost confidence under the impact of Atari.
You don’t have to guess how cold the scene will be if you hold an exhibition with major retailers and media at this time.
So it won’t work without magic.
For example, the Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition, such as the main booth press conferences in both exhibitions, are all designed to increase attention.
Let’s build up the heat first, and then talk about anything else.
When the market prospers, the scale of the media will be sufficient.
There is still time to split it up, or to start a new business independently, or to hold professional media exhibitions.
However, it seems that the development of E3 is still very good this year, so the concerns of these association representatives are not unreasonable.
Koji Takita said, "What they mean is that there should be at least four months between E3 and the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Expo."
"July to August? That means it will be during the summer."
"Yes."
"Looks like that's all it takes."
If the America Electronic Game Software Association really wants to change the event date, Hanyu Hideki will not be able to stop it.
Although the E3 exhibition was initiated by Game Base, the right to host it is now in the hands of the association.
Of course, "Game Base" can break up and prevent the association from using the name of this exhibition.
But the problem is that doing so will only force those people to start a new business, which will not do any good to "Game Base".
And what those representatives said made sense, and Hanyu Hideki had no reason to stop him.
There are thousands of updates, and I can’t figure out the code to add more updates.
Thanks to Du Mijin for the 1500 book coins reward.
Thanks to Bing Feng o Ai Lian for the reward.
(End of this chapter)
After discussing the matter of investing in Italian logistics.
Hideki Hanyu continued to play the second half of the Los Angeles Cup with the Italian "Baba".
Although Monica Bellucci tried her best, she not only fouled continuously, but also imitated Tyson's foul at critical moments.
But in the end, Hideki Hanyu won the game.
Scored three goals, a hat trick.
It's a big win.
However, due to consecutive overtimes.
When Hideki Hanyu left the court, it was already afternoon.
Originally, he was considering going to the San Francisco exhibition today, but now he definitely won't be able to go.
After thinking about it, Hideki Hanyu decided to go to the gym.
I've been running around everywhere these days and haven't exercised for a long time, so my body is still not used to it.
Although there is a gym in Hibiscus Garden.
But exercising alone is not as exciting as being with a group of big guys.
The brothers at the iron gym are experienced, enthusiastic and nice to talk to. Hanyu Hideki really likes to exercise there.
Of course, the place where he applied for the card was the best gym in Los Angeles.
There are the most professional coaches there who can provide targeted guidance according to his needs.
For example, the coach suggested that he should do more anaerobic training on his upper thighs.
This can promote male hormone secretion and improve strength.
Of course, just exercising without supplementing nutrition is not enough.
Hideki Hanyu spent a lot of money to prepare special protein powder.
In addition to protein.
It is also combined with arginine, zinc, vitamin B and other substances.
I also eat fruits rich in flavonoids on weekdays.
All of them can help him stay healthy and enhance his combat effectiveness.
Of course, everything will be done under the monitoring and guidance of personal doctors and nutritionists.
As a billionaire, body care has been integrated into his daily life, and there is no need to do it deliberately.
Speaking of which, the gift Li Jianxi gave him last time was the most precious Korean ginseng.
However, his personal doctor and nutritionist did not recommend him to eat it.
It means that he is extremely talented and powerful, but sometimes it is not good to take too much supplement.
Therefore, before Hanyu Hideki came to America, he had the Korean ginseng sent back to Sendai to his family.
-
Hibiscus Garden.
Hideki Hanyu returns from training.
Seeing his strong energy, Liu Xiaoli asked curiously, "Didn't you go to work?"
Hideki Hanyu said, "Things are handled relatively quickly in Hollywood. I saw it was still early, so I went to the gym to exercise for a while."
"I'm so busy at work, but I still go to exercise and I'm not afraid of tiring myself out." Liu Xiaoli said distressedly.
Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki leaned into the beauty's ear and said, "I can't do anything with a beauty like you all day long. I have to waste my energy."
When Liu Xiaoli heard this, she immediately patted Hanyu Hideki's chest angrily.
But then I felt that what Hanyu Hideki said made sense.
It is normal for a young man to have strong energy and blood and to have physical and mental needs.
Thinking of this, she shyly whispered, "Otherwise I..."
"Eat first, we'll talk at night."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he took Liu Xiaoli to eat, feeling quite impatient.
Next...
There is no need to go into details about what happened in one night.
The next day.
Hanyu Hideki got on the helicopter feeling refreshed and left the Hibiscus Garden.
After an hour's flight, the plane arrived at the apron of the Moscone Exhibition Center in San Francisco.
Entering the exhibition hall, Hanyu Hideki came to the booth of Elf Entertainment and saw that everything was ready, just waiting for the opening of the E3 exhibition, and he didn't need to worry more.
So I found Satoru Iwata and asked about the marketing plans for the subsequent launch of electronic pets in other regions.
Who would have thought that at this moment, Kitahara Eri told him that an unexpected person wanted to talk to him on the phone.
"Li Jianxi? Why did he call me suddenly? Did something go wrong when our people went to South Korea for inspection?"
Hideki Hanyu looked at Satoru Iwata.
But Satoru Iwata shook his head and said, "Our people have just passed by, so there should be no results yet."
Kitahara Eri said, "From the sound of it, I think there is something I want to ask Hanyu-san for. You will know if you call me back."
"Ok."
Hanyu Hideki found a phone number in the exhibition hall and called Li Jianxi back.
After a while, Hanyu Hideki hung up the phone with a strange expression.
Next to her, Eri Kitahara asked curiously, "What's going on?"
"Samsung sent several representatives who wanted to participate in experiencing Elf Entertainment's work and activities at the exhibition. I hope we can accommodate them."
Hanyu Hideki's answer was very ordinary.
But Eri Kitahara was even more confused, "For such a small matter as sending a representative, do I need to contact you specifically?"
"Because there are Li Jianxi's sons and daughters among the representatives."
As soon as Hanyu Hideki said this, Kitahara Eri finally understood.
Of course, there is no need for ordinary representatives to contact Hideki Hanyu.
But the descendants of the heir may also be the future head of Samsung. No matter what they do, they must say hello to the master Hideki Hanyu.
"How are we going to entertain?"
To be honest, this was the first time for Kitahara Eri to experience such a thing.
Although the cooperation between Samsung and Genie Entertainment is not deep.
But after all, it is a giant in the South Korean market, and the respect that should be given must still be given.
"The ordinary members of the delegation will find a way to accommodate them. As for Li Jianxi's son and daughter, I will take them back to Moon Lake to entertain them."
It wasn't that Hanyu Hideki didn't want the two of them to stay in the hotel.
But because of the E3 exhibition, hundreds of companies and a large number of tourists poured into San Francisco, which has already crowded the city.
Whether it is a high-end hotel or an ordinary hotel, they are basically in a full state.
Near the Moscone Exhibition Hall, many tourists who came to participate in the E3 exhibition set up tents to live in because they could not book a place to stay.
In later generations, during the Golden Week in China, there are billions of floating population, and a city can receive tens of millions of tourists.
To foreigners, it seems like a science fiction story.
In Europe, the number of tourists on this scale is simply larger than the population of some small countries.
Even in America, it is difficult for ordinary cities to withstand a sudden large number of tourists without preparation.
Therefore, ordinary employees can still feel aggrieved.
But we can't let the young master and young lady from Samsung share a room with the senior executives of Elf Entertainment.
Anyway, San Jose is only a 10-minute drive from San Francisco.
If you take a helicopter, you can get there in 10 minutes.
Besides, Li Jianxi called specifically because he wanted Hanyu Hideki to take care of the child.
Hideki Hanyu had to fulfill his duty as a landlord.
Kitahara Eri asked, "When will the other party arrive?"
"Said the flight is this afternoon."
"Do you need us to pick you up at the airport?"
"The other party said no, he would come directly to the Moscone Exhibition Hall."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he told Kitahara Eri, "Kitahara-san, go and do your work. Just leave this matter to me."
"Okay." Kitahara Eri simply ignored it.
Yunshang Communication has just been established, and the business in America needs to be reintegrated. She comes to E3 this time and has a lot to do.
Besides, after Hideki Hanyu arrived in the morning, he arranged for her to go to Italy to develop a logistics company.
She really didn't have time to care about her two children.
After Kitahara Eri left, Hanyu Hideki made several more calls.
In addition to telling Liu Xiaoli that she would not go back for the time being to entertain guests.
They also arranged for the Filipino maid from "Moon Lake" to clean the house and have the chef prepare the dinner.
After dealing with this, he continued back to the booth.
After all, I was only halfway through my conversation with Satoru Iwata.
Not counting being busy, it was afternoon in a blink of an eye.
Just as Hideki Hanyu and Eri Kitahara were chatting in the background about developing logistics business in Italy and having the opportunity to extend their tentacles from the Apennine Peninsula to the European continent.
A subordinate came to report, "Chairman Hanyu, the Samsung delegation has arrived."
"Where is the person?" Hanyu Hideki asked.
"Just outside the booth."
"Let's go out and have a look together." Hanyu Hideki said to Kitahara Eri.
As for Michael Katz and Satoru Iwata, due to work reasons, they returned to San Jose at noon.
The two walked out backstage together.
Then I saw a group of people, led by staff, visiting the booth of Elf Entertainment.
It was the Samsung delegation.
There were two leaders in this group.
A young man with glasses, fair skin, and a gentle manner.
The other is a pretty girl wearing a blue dress with a standard South Korean high school girl's hairstyle.
When Hideki Hanyu and Eri Kitahara came out, the employees said hello one after another.
The Samsung delegation also stopped visiting and walked towards Hanyu Hideki.
"Hello, Mr. Hanyu, I am Li Zairong. I am here to visit and study this time. Please take good care of me, sir."
"Hello, Mr. Hanyu, I am Li Hanzhen. Please take care of me, sir."
The two of them greeted Hanyu Hideki in English proficiently.
He is well-spoken and generous. From the outside, he is obviously a kid from a wealthy family with a good upbringing.
"Hello, I have received a call from Mr. Li. In the next few days, I will arrange for you to understand Elf Entertainment's work at the exhibition. If you need any help, please feel free to ask..."
While Hanyu Hideki was speaking, he was also looking at the two people in front of him.
Although it was the first time for him to see these two people in this time and space.
But in his memory, he was not unfamiliar with these two people.
After all, there will be a lot of news about these two people on the Internet in the future.
As the future heir of Samsung, Lee Jae-yong was sent to prison as soon as he took over.
From being imprisoned to being imprisoned, to being pardoned later, a series of news has been widely reported in the country.
As for Li Hanzhen, to some extent, she is more famous than her brother on the domestic Internet.
After all, compared to the wealthy young master.
Everyone is still more interested in beautiful young ladies from wealthy families.
Besides, from looks to worth, this person really deserves the title of "the richest flower in the world".
Especially in public, the other party's look that is three parts sneer, three parts cold and four parts careless, as if he is a world-weary face who satisfies all material needs, is just like a character from a novel.
But now...
Hanyu Hideki looked at the other party casually, she was still a 16-year-old girl.
Apart from being beautiful, there is no hint of the temperament of later generations.
It was even more unexpected that the other party would desperately marry a bodyguard in the future.
Of course, let’s not mention all the conspiracy theories about the other party’s marriage to his bodyguard.
After all, Samsung is a big family with too many weird things.
Next, Hideki Hanyu introduced Eri Kitahara to the two of them.
Then he personally accompanied the two of them to visit the booth.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Hanyu Hideki invited the two of them, "I have prepared dinner for you at home, and you can go now."
"Okay." The two agreed politely.
Although compared to Li Fuzhen, Hanyu Hideki is only seven years older.
However, Hanyu Hideki started from scratch and rose to his current net worth, fame, and status, which even their father could not compare to.
Therefore, when facing Hideki Hanyu, the two of them still had a very solemn attitude.
However, when Hanyu Hideki saw this, he smiled and said.
"We are all young people. There is no need to be so nervous. You can try to forget your parents' instructions and just treat it as coming to America to hang out with friends."
"Okay." The two of them obviously still couldn't let go.
Seeing this, Hanyu Hideki led the two of them towards the tarmac while looking for topics to talk about.
After all, it was uncomfortable for him to be so embarrassed all the time.
"When you come to America this time, is there anything you want to visit?"
As soon as he asked this question, Li Zairong looked at his sister and answered first, "I want to visit the UCB campus."
UCB, the University of California, Berkeley.
"Why do you want to visit the university?" Hanyu Hideki asked casually.
Li Zairong said, "My father hopes that I can study in college here for two years."
"So that's it. If there is a chance in the future, we can see each other more often."
Hanyu Hideki said and looked at the Samsung Princess, "Where is Miss Li?"
"I...I want to go to Disneyland."
The eldest princess, who had always been calm and generous, suddenly lost her temper when she said this.
It also made Hanyu Hideki realize that the other party was still just a 16-year-old girl after all.
"It wouldn't be too much trouble to go to Disneyland in Los Angeles, but it's too late today."
While the three of them were talking, they had already reached the tarmac.
The two of them were somewhat confused when they saw that they were going to make a helicopter.
It's not because making a helicopter is so great. After all, as a child of a wealthy family, I haven't experienced anything since I was a child.
Hideki Hanyu explained, "You guys arrived a little late. We can no longer book a hotel in San Francisco. You need to rest at my home in San Jose for the night."
Then the brother and sister immediately said politely, "Sorry to disturb Mr. Hanyu."
"It's nothing. Let's get on the plane quickly. Dinner is already prepared at home."
After inviting the two brothers and sisters to get on the helicopter, they arrived above the "Moon Lake" Manor in just 10 minutes after taking off.
At this time, the sky had darkened and "Moon Lake" turned on all the lights.
The main building is all white and has an avant-garde shape, like a science fiction "castle" from the future.
The circular swimming pool on the roof glows blue under the lights, like a luminous blue jade belt wrapped around the white building.
But the most beautiful thing is not the house, but the crescent-shaped artificial lake dotted with lights.
Viewed from the sky, it looks like a crescent moon embedded in the ground.
On the plane, even though the brothers and sisters Li Zairong and Li Hanzhen were well-informed children of wealthy families, they couldn't help but admire the beauty of this house in their hearts.
After the helicopter landed, the three people got off the plane.
Hanyu Hideki made a welcoming gesture, "Welcome you two to my home, Moon Lake."
After Hanyu Hideki was looking for a topic just now, he had a simple conversation along the way.
The two brothers and sisters are no longer as reserved as they were when they first met.
Li Hanzhen took the initiative and said, "Mr. Hanyu's house is really beautiful."
Hanyu Hideki said, "Thank you for the compliment. If you like, you can come and play often."
"If my brother comes to study abroad, he can come more often. It's not easy for me to come out just once."
As she gradually let go, Li Hanzhen walked to the slowly flowing swimming pool and asked curiously, "What is this?"
"It's a swimming pool. You can follow the water flow to the water slide in front. Along the water slide, you can fall into the large swimming pool." Hanyu Hideki explained.
"is it?"
Li Hanzhen ran forward along the circulation swimming pool curiously, as if she wanted to see the water slide Hanyu Hideki mentioned.
Next to him, Li Zairong saw this and said to Hanyu Hideki, "My sister is ignorant and makes Mr. Hanyu laugh."
"Isn't it normal to be lively at this age? Now that you're out, relax. I'm only five years older than you, so you don't have to treat me like a parent."
Hideki Hanyu just finished speaking to Lee Jae-jong.
Li Hanzhen's voice came from the distance, "There is really a big water slide."
Then the other party ran back and said regretfully, "It's a pity that I didn't bring a swimsuit, otherwise I would have had some fun."
Hideki Hanyu said, "It doesn't matter if you don't bring one. I always have swimsuits of various styles and sizes in my house. If you want to play in the water, you can pick one that suits you."
"Really?" Li Hanzhen looked delighted.
Obviously, Li Hanzhen has gradually entered a relaxed state compared to her brother who is still holding it.
"Of course it's true, but before that, let's have dinner first. The chef is ready."
Because the Filipino maid had already come up to signal Hanyu Hideki.
Next, Hanyu Hideki took his brother and sister downstairs to eat.
We didn’t prepare Korean food for dinner, but French dishes.
The main reason is that Hanyu Hideki is really not interested in eating a table of kimchi.
Therefore, none of the chefs in Moon Lake know how to cook Korean food.
Dinner is over.
Gradually, the few people who became familiar with each other decided to go play in the water together.
After all, no matter how mature these brothers and sisters are, they are still only eighteen and sixteen, and they are both at the age where they love to play.
It was seen that Li Hanzhen chose a conservative swimsuit with a skirt and only exposed her arms and legs.
Hanyu Hideki thought of something and couldn't help but take a few more glances.
He didn't pay attention for a moment, but Li Hanzhen noticed the look in his eyes.Even though it made the little girl blush shyly.
After all, even if Hideki Hanyu puts aside his net worth and a bunch of titles, he is still a super handsome guy who is enough to make girls obsessed.
In addition, after changing into a swimsuit, the healthy and stylish figure is fully exposed, and the destructive power on women is really huge.
Next to him, Lee Jae-yong is as skinny and immature as a chicken compared to Hideki Hanyu.
Seeing Li Hanzhen's reaction, Hanyu Hideki wanted to explain, but the little girl immediately ran away shyly.
Seeing this scene, Hanyu Hideki thought that this was really a misunderstanding.
He just thought that in another time and space, the three-star princess suffered from hereditary peroneal muscular atrophy since she was a child.
Once the disease attacks, the limbs atrophy, almost like a disabled person.
The source of the disease is said to be the wife of the founder of Samsung.
Several members of the Samsung family have the inheritance.
However, Li Hanzhen was the only one among Li Jianxi's children who inherited it.
Compared with other relatives who need wheelchairs and crutches, Li Hanzhen's condition can only be said to be milder.
But it can also be seen that the other party is a skinny type.
And in public, the other party is never seen wearing clothes that expose her arms and legs.
And when walking for a long time, you need help from others.
It can only be said that the other party was born early. If it were at this time, these diseases could be screened through third-generation test tubes.
But what makes Hideki Hanyu strange is.
The Li Hanzhen he saw at this time had normal limbs, fair and healthy skin, and no sign of genetic disease at all.
This was also the reason why Hideki Hanyu was staring at each other just now.
Why did Li Hanzhen in front of him not suffer from a genetic disease like in another time and space?
Hanyu Hideki was puzzled.
In the end, it can only be attributed to the differences in time and space.
Next to him, Li Zairong naturally saw his sister's reaction.
But oddly enough.
After discovering that Hideki Hanyu was eating his sister’s tofu with his eyes.
Not only did Li Zairong say nothing, he immediately turned around and pretended that I didn't see him.
He even thought about some of the words his father told him before coming to America.
He was already thinking in his mind that he must quickly find a reason to leave so that Hanyu Hideki and his sister could be alone.
that's it.
Li Hanzhen misunderstood.
Lee Jae-yong has another purpose in mind.
Hideki Hanyu wanted to explain but didn't know how.
After the whole game, the atmosphere seemed very weird.
-
The next day.
The three people who gradually became familiar with each other had breakfast and then took a helicopter to the E3 exhibition site in San Francisco.
Compared to yesterday, which was only a lively scene, today it can be said to be a sea of people.
The exhibition opens at nine o'clock.
Hideki Hanyu and the others arrived at eight o'clock.
But at this time it is no longer possible to enter through the main entrance.
Fortunately, you can use the internal staff channel.
After arriving at the Elf Entertainment booth, Hideki Hanyu separated from his brother and sister.
After all, as far as reception is concerned, the performance of the landlord's friendship last night was enough.
After arriving at the scene, staff from Samsung and Elf Entertainment were naturally in charge.
And this is the Electronic Entertainment Expo.
Consoles, handheld consoles, arcades, PC games, electronic toys, everything.
The most interesting electronic entertainment devices of today's era can be seen here.
For young people, this is paradise.
Anyway, Hanyu Hideki saw that with the help of the staff, Li Zairong had already sat in a second-generation light gun space machine combat game cabin.
Obviously, no matter how mature the future head of Samsung is, he is still a young man at this time.
As for Li Hanzhen, she was obsessed with the doll machine specially used for the event at the booth.
There are all kinds of cute plush dolls from "Tamako" and "Pokémon" inside.
After settling down the two of them, Hanyu Hideki found Satoru Iwata, and he was going to take him around the site to see what new products would be at this year's exhibition.
Although the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Exhibition has great influence.
However, due to market constraints and player preferences, many manufacturers that specialize in the European and American markets still prefer to announce their products at the E3 exhibition.
Along the way, Hideki Hanyu discovered that the prosperity of the American market had indeed stimulated the enthusiasm of capital for investment.
In the past, Elf Entertainment stood too high and only saw big companies like Nintendo and Sega.
I only care about the products of these big manufacturers.
But today, after simply turning around, Hideki Hanyu saw no less than ten types of electronic pets, as well as four handheld products and three host platforms.
In order to attract consumers, everyone has a lot of designs and imagination.
The most important thing is that among those three consoles, there is also a [-]-bit console.
But that's not surprising.
There is no shortage of people to do any profitable business in this world.
In the years when Nintendo's FC console dominated the market, twelve consoles were launched to challenge Nintendo's position.
But what is really remembered by everyone?
That's Sega's MD console.
As well as the PCE host developed by Hudson and Neon Electric.
As for other consoles, they are all lost to history.
What is the current video game console landscape in the world?
In the European and American markets, Elf Entertainment's PS console occupies more than 80.00% of the market share.
In the Asian market, PS consoles and FC consoles are fighting fiercely.
However, due to performance and game library reasons, the inherent chassis of the FC console is constantly being cannibalized by the PS console.
The PS console was released two years ago and captured 30.00% of the market from Nintendo within four months, exceeding the sales target set before its launch.
As for other emerging markets, including Latin America and South Africa, Sega successfully used Atari channels to smuggle its products into the market, and its sales were booming.
For these markets, Elf Entertainment has no time to take into account.
On the contrary, Nintendo is actively expanding and competing with Sega for territory.
Sega's president, Hayao Nakayama, often scolded Nintendo for this incident. If they couldn't win over Elf Entertainment, they came to trouble him.
From this point of view, today's console market can be regarded as divided into three parts, with some strong and some weak.
The space available to accommodate other console platforms is very small.
The most critical thing is that without the support of third-party games, even if you build a platform, it will be useless.
But in this case, why are so many manufacturers entering the console market?
In fact, it is very simple, because although the market is small, there is still a market.
Although the three major host manufacturers compete with each other, before the end of the road, everyone will still learn from the lessons of Atari's collapse and strictly review the games that want to be launched on the platform.
This has also resulted in games on the three major platforms basically maintaining a certain level of quality.
However, the strict review of the three major platforms does not mean that shoddy games will disappear.
Developers who lack funds or have no conscience will still develop shoddy junk games.
There are even some restricted games.
Can’t get on the three major platforms?
It doesn't matter, isn't there a PC version that doesn't require review?
After the console market recovered, many platform manufacturers have focused on these games.
They develop hosts, relax review, or don't review at all.
There is also no royalty system for the three major platforms.
There is no limit on development quantity and no control over cassette production.
It doesn’t even care about the retail price of the cassette.
A savage mess.
The game is shoddy and so is the console.
These guys are not looking for long-term development at all, they are just running to get a vote and leave.
The game is extremely rubbish and the promotion is extremely beautiful.
Invisibly, it even helped Elf Vision, which was now renamed Spirit Vision.
Lao Huang from Spirit Vision told Hanyu Hideki that there are some R&D institutions that specialize in designing modular hosts for these manufacturers and came to Spirit Vision to customize low-end graphics processing chips.
Color, performance, nothing matters.
It doesn't matter if it fits or not.
The requirements are simple and cheap!High compatibility!
to this end.
When Divine Vision was developing the next generation graphics processing chip, it had to temporarily allocate manpower to develop a graphics processing chip code-named Nitor0110-C for these guys.
C, which means compatible, means compatible.
Well...it's for fun.
To put it bluntly, it’s the beggar’s version.
However, the consoles of these manufacturers are niche after all. Surviving in the cracks of the three major console platforms, the profits they can bring to God Vision are limited.
Lao Huang is just trying to sell mosquito legs as meat.
But at this time, Lao Huang didn't know that he had sold beggar's version chips to these manufacturers.
When these guys advertise, in order to exaggerate, they will directly use the banner of the same hardware as the PS console.
Invisibly, it helped God Vision to increase its popularity.
But these are the aftermath.
After viewing the booths of hardware products, Hideki Hanyu also took a look at the booths of game developers.
Many games that have been launched on Neon will undergo a certain degree of revision and reset when they are launched in Europe and the United States due to cultural barriers.
For example, Elf Entertainment's "Contra" has differences between the European and American versions and the Asian versions.
What's interesting is that Hideki Hanyu also saw major Hollywood companies at the exhibition.
They have either set up their own game development departments or joined forces with other manufacturers to develop and monetize their movie IP into games.
After all, for Hollywood, there can never be too much peripheral market.
Originally, Elf Entertainment developed "Squirrel Wars" with the help of Disney's "Kiki and Didi" cartoon, and it is now one of the top games on the PS console platform.
But it is a pity that Elf Entertainment has been unable to develop the second generation of "Squirrel Wars".
The game cartridge of "Squirrel Brothers" has sold more than 300 million copies around the world, and the sales share given to Disney alone exceeds 1000 million US dollars.
It has played an incalculable amount of help in growing the influence of cartoon characters.
You can earn a share, but you can't earn as much as you can by developing your own games.
Therefore, when faced with Elf Entertainment's application for cooperation in the development rights of the sequel to "Squirrel Wars", Disney refused without hesitation.
Disney decided to do it themselves.
Although sales on the PS console platform are restricted by the royalty system.
But it is more profitable than just giving a small share.
After a while, he saw "First Blood", "007", "A Nightmare on Elm Street"... and other games adapted from well-known movies.
Some chose Elf Entertainment’s PS console platform, and some chose the EGP arcade platform.
There are also some games that are only released on PC.
Before the exhibition started and tourists poured in, Hanyu Hideki and Iwata walked around the venue hastily.
In addition to what I said before, of course I have not forgotten my old friends Nintendo and Sega.
It is a pity that Nintendo and Sega did not come up with a new generation of consoles as Hanyu Hideki imagined.
Nintendo still focuses on disk drives, WS handheld consoles, and several new games.
As for Sega, in addition to games, the hardware is also like the Tokyo Electric Show, painting a pie for players.
Anyway, Sega understands that their audience is no longer in Europe, America and Asia.
Therefore, whether it is the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Expo or the E3 exhibition, you can just paint the pie. What you really want to do is to go to emerging markets.
"Iwata-san, let's go back, there's nothing to see anymore."
After discovering that there was no product that could threaten Elf Entertainment for the time being, Hideki Hanyu was too lazy to look at the small companies around the corner.
Join Satoru Iwata backstage at the Genie Entertainment booth.
Hanyu Hideki discovered that Takita Koji, the editor-in-chief of "Game Base", was actually here.
The opening ceremony is about to begin. Why is this guy here if he doesn't stay with the people from the America Video Game Software Association?
Hanyu Hideki asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with Editor Takita?"
"There is indeed something I want to tell the president."
Takita Koji asked, "The president just visited the exhibition hall. Is there a booth for Sika?"
"Here we go, still promoting the [-]-bit console that has not yet been developed. There is nothing to say."
When Hanyu Hideki said this, he thought that Takita Koji would not ask him this for no reason, so he asked directly.
"What Takita-san wants to say has something to do with Sega?"
Koji Takita replied, "I just received news that Sega intends to hold local video game exhibitions in South Africa and Latin America."
"Nakayama Hayao is really courageous." Satoru Iwata said with emotion.
Everyone present was smart and realized what the head of Sega wanted to do.
Taking advantage of Sega's console share in emerging markets, it took advantage of the situation to hold exhibitions.
It is easy to support a group of local developers.
As the saying goes, the three stooges are better than Zhuge Liang.
There is a market and third-party support.
If Hayao Nakayama really pulls this off, Sega's threat will undoubtedly rise sharply.
Hanyu Hideki understands that although Genie Entertainment and Nintendo are inextricably linked to each other in the Asian market.
We also have to deal with the WS handheld console and face the challenges of Nintendo disk drives, so we can't spare our energy to explore emerging markets.
But it’s impossible to keep watching Sega make trouble.
He asked Takita Koji, "Don't the game base have a branch over there? Can you participate?"
Even if you can't get the dominant position, you still have to put a nail in the exhibition.
Takita Koji shook his head, "No chance, I tried to contact him."
Hearing this, Hanyu Hideki touched his chin and began to think.
After a moment, he looked at Takita Koji.
"Since Sega wants to be alone, let's try to drive away the tiger and devour the wolf."
Takita Koji asked, "How?"
"Contact the members of the America Video Game Software Association. They dare to ignore the game base, but they certainly dare not ignore the entire America media industry."
Hideki Hanyu gave his advice.
Even if the America Electronic Game Software Association cannot take the lead, it will definitely become one of the organizers.
With the gaps, it will be much easier for "Game Base" to do things.
Maybe if Sega is busy, it will be used as a wedding dress for Elf Entertainment.
Takita Koji said, "Okay, it happened to be during the exhibition, and representatives from all the associations were there. I communicated with them immediately. I think they will definitely be interested."
"These guys who salivate when they smell meat will definitely be interested."
After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he asked again, "Besides this matter, is there anything else?"
Takita Koji nodded, indicating that there was still more.
“Another thing is that most association members said that the E3 exhibition and the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Exhibition are too close, which will cause manufacturers to focus on one exhibition and cannot take care of both.
If there is still time to wait until April, it will leave too much blank time in the second half of the year. Once another organization holds other exhibitions in the second half of the year, a competitor will easily appear. "
"What do they think?" Hanyu Hideki asked.
In fact, he considered this last year, but the first E3 lacked attention, so he had to take advantage of the popularity of the Tokyo Electric Power Show.
After all, in its original time and space, the main targets of the E3 exhibition were retailers, media, and finally players.
But in this day and age, it has been transformed into an exhibition whose main audience is players.
The reason is very simple. In today's era, there are too few professional game media. It can be said that the most professional one is the "Game Base" he founded.
Retailers also lost confidence under the impact of Atari.
You don’t have to guess how cold the scene will be if you hold an exhibition with major retailers and media at this time.
So it won’t work without magic.
For example, the Tokyo Electric Power Exhibition, such as the main booth press conferences in both exhibitions, are all designed to increase attention.
Let’s build up the heat first, and then talk about anything else.
When the market prospers, the scale of the media will be sufficient.
There is still time to split it up, or to start a new business independently, or to hold professional media exhibitions.
However, it seems that the development of E3 is still very good this year, so the concerns of these association representatives are not unreasonable.
Koji Takita said, "What they mean is that there should be at least four months between E3 and the Tokyo Electronics Entertainment Expo."
"July to August? That means it will be during the summer."
"Yes."
"Looks like that's all it takes."
If the America Electronic Game Software Association really wants to change the event date, Hanyu Hideki will not be able to stop it.
Although the E3 exhibition was initiated by Game Base, the right to host it is now in the hands of the association.
Of course, "Game Base" can break up and prevent the association from using the name of this exhibition.
But the problem is that doing so will only force those people to start a new business, which will not do any good to "Game Base".
And what those representatives said made sense, and Hanyu Hideki had no reason to stop him.
There are thousands of updates, and I can’t figure out the code to add more updates.
Thanks to Du Mijin for the 1500 book coins reward.
Thanks to Bing Feng o Ai Lian for the reward.
