Is it not a galgame?

Chapter 80 80. We want to cooperate with Sony
December 1991, 7.

Neon Tokyo Minato-ku Konan.

Headquarters of Sony Corporation.

Qing Zhiyuan brought engineer Chikawa Hongichi and copywriting planner Mika Ishino to visit.

In the conference room, sitting opposite them were three men in suits and leather shoes.

It is not even an exaggeration to say that he is an old man.

The one in the middle is named Akio Morita, with all white hair, wrinkled face, thick bags under the eyes, and a pair of glasses that make his cheekbones high and his cheeks sunken.

This year, he is 70 years old and still insists on his post at Sony.

Akio Morita is one of the two founders of Sony Corporation and the current president of the company.

Although he is not the president, many large-scale decisions are actually made by him.

The other one is Norio Ohga, who was born in 30 and is now over 60 years old. He serves as the general manager of the product department and leads Sony's product design department.

The joint development with Rentiantang this time is a contract signed by Norio Ohga on behalf of Sony.

The last one was Ken Kutaragi, who had the highest exposure during Rentiantang's unilateral tearing of the agreement and was also the initiator of the entire agreement.

Kutaragi Ken, born in 50, has dark hair, a broad forehead, and always has a simple smile on his face.

The 40-year-old Kutaragi Ken can be regarded as the mainstay of Sony. If there is no backstab incident, he is actually very hopeful that he will be promoted to a higher management position.

……

The atmosphere in the conference hall was very serious, as if a war was about to take place.

The big men on the opposite side stared at Qing Zhiyuan, as if they were going to swallow him alive in the next second.

Of course, this is just a human illusion.

Mika Ishino, the copywriting planner who came with Qing Zhiyuan, was so nervous that her palms broke out in cold sweat.

To be honest, it was the first time for Mika Ishino to participate in such a scary meeting.

If it weren't for pokeni's failure to recruit suitable biology majors for the time being, she wouldn't be here at all.

At the beginning, when the president said that he wanted to make a developmental game that needed biological or entomological planning to take over, Mika Ishino was very conflicted in his heart.

But after communicating with the president, she realized that it was a false alarm.

Pokemon is basically a pet raising game.

And the image of [Pikachu] drawn by the president is really cute.

Fluffy, especially cute, directly hit Mika Ishino's heart.

This is why she agreed to take over and make a business case for it.

The only thing I didn't expect was that the president was actually using it to negotiate with Sony.

Look at Chikawa Hongichi next to him.

This young man didn't seem to be in any better condition than her. Although it was a hot day in July, there wasn't so much sweat on his forehead.

"President Qing, can you briefly introduce the content of the proposal?" Akio Morita smiled politely.

To be honest, Akio Morita can be regarded as a wonderful flower in the neon business world.

Whether it's the game tyrant Yamauchi Hiroshi from Rentendo, or the iron-faced killer Nakayama Hayao from Sega, they all belong to the kind of characters that are very intimidating and can make people tremble.

But Akio Morita will show an extraordinary affinity in communication, and often even make people produce——

This old man really has the illusion of being considerate.

It has to be said that there is a reason why the media gave Morita Akio high praise.

"Ok."

Qing Zhiyuan stood up and said, "This proposal is a cooperation proposal based on the current status of your company and pokeni."

As he spoke, everyone looked down at the proposal in front of them.

The content of the proposal is quite a lot, and a lot of materials are attached at the end.

"First of all, I think that Sony has the best hardware development capabilities in the industry, and your company's pursuit of excellent quality and perfect performance in product development is really admirable and moving.

I believe that with Sony's capabilities, it has sufficient strength to develop the next generation of console products.

It is even more than Ren Tiantian.

No, it should be said that there is enough hardware strength to leave Ren Tiantang far behind. "

The three people on the opposite side did not speak, but nodded silently.

Although what Qing Zhiyuan said had certain scenes, it was also a fact to a certain extent.

At the very least, Sony's hardware strength is still there.

"This report pointed out that Sony is indeed very powerful in hardware, but it still lacks an opportunity to enter the game market."

"Games are composed of game consoles and cassettes." Qing Zhiyuan said, "We have no doubts about Sony's ability to produce game consoles, but in terms of game content, it seems that we need a partner."

Qing Zhiyuan was not wrong.

Sony's previous main business was in semiconductor hardware, especially music products.

But in the field of games, Sony is really a younger brother.

There is no representative work, and there is nothing but martial arts, but if there are not enough popular games with enough weight and sales on the machine, then this game machine will only become a failed product.

This is why Sony found Shangren Heaven.

Sony has the technology, Nintendo has the content.

The combination of the two can be said to be invincible.

To be honest, if the agreement hadn't been torn up by Rentian, I don't know what the future will be like.

There is a high probability that Sony will take advantage of the opportunity to become Neon, no, become the world's largest game manufacturer, right?
Unfortunately, these dreams have now come to naught.

It had to make Akio Morita feel heartbroken.

Qing Zhiyuan obviously hit the opponent's pain point.

……

"What kind of help can your company give us?" Akio Morita asked politely.

"Although pokeni is not as good as Rentian and Sega, nor is it as good as Namco and Square, at least the current influence is not as good as them, but we have enough potential and strength."

Qing Zhiyuan took out a roll of video tapes on the spot, which is about the "Onmyoji" series and "Mermaid Heart", so that everyone can have a more vivid understanding of pokeni's products.

When seeing the game screen played on the TV.

Qing Zhiyuan clearly saw Kutaragi Ken's eyes light up.

"To tell you the truth, this game called "Onmyoji" is a work we developed on FC. It once won a high score of 39 points from Famitsu."

"what?!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Is this actually the effect that can be shown on FC?
At this moment, Ken Kutaragi suddenly remembered——

Yep, that's the rude company that put chips in the cartridges to handle graphics and memory.
