Chapter 353 Sato is on the left, Xiangshan is on the right

Xiang Shanzhe came out of the vice president's office, and as the door closed behind him, he couldn't control his anger anymore, he couldn't help punching the wall hard, his bent fingers immediately turned red Get up, but at this moment, he seems to be completely unable to feel the pain from his hand, and only the bastard order Sato Hideki gave just now is left in his mind.

When Isao Okawa announced the new personnel appointment more than a month ago, Xiangshan Tetsu was briefly disappointed. He jumped from the game publishing company invested by Likulute Group to Sega Corporation. Xiangshan Tetsu came with great ambitions. It's a pity that before he had time to fully implement his ideas, he had already lost the support of Da Chuangong, and there was even a fierce quarrel between the two.Perhaps because he didn't want to see Xiangshanzhe too discouraged, Okawa Gong made a special trip to relieve Xiangshanzhe after he was discharged from the hospital.

"Xiangshan-kun, Sega will not really invest in Sony. We are only giving in temporarily. Once the time is right, we will return to the previous place, and you will become an excellent president... ..."

Xiang ShanZhe still remembers how Isao Okawa hinted and promised that day. According to Isao Okawa, Hideki Sato was appointed as the vice president and led the entire Sega company for the purpose of temporarily cooperating with Sony Computer Entertainment, but this cooperation is only In order to reduce the company's pressure, as long as it survives this difficult period, Sega will surely be able to fly high again in the future, and then there is no need to make false claims with Sony Computer Entertainment.Perhaps in order to give Kazan Tetsu greater confidence, Isao Okawa also mysteriously revealed the development plan of Sega's new console that day. It is said that the performance will completely surpass DreamBox128, PS2, and the unreleased NGC. By then, Sega will definitely get out of the predicament completely.

But who would have imagined that the situation would change suddenly after more than a month, and the esophageal cancer that Okawa Kou had originally controlled suddenly spread, and he had to be sent to Tokyo University Hospital again. After a detailed diagnosis by the doctor, the situation was very pessimistic. Days can only be counted by days.And at this time, Sato Hideki's attitude also quietly changed. When Okawa Isao was still there, Sato Hideki and his party to Kayama Tetsu's family still maintained superficial politeness, but as soon as Okawa Isao's condition deteriorated, Sato Hideki Immediately turned his face, and found many excuses to exile Xiangshanzhe's team members. If Xiangshanzhe didn't have the status of a director, he might not even be able to keep himself.

Today is even more extreme. Relying on his power as the acting president, Hideki Sato forced Kazan Tetsu to get rid of Bleem Company, and not to help it speed up the development of "Bleem! for Dreamcast", but to sue Bleem Company for not being authorized by Sega , developing software on the Dreamcast host without authorization.

"Bleem! for Dreamcast" is a PS game emulator developed by Bleem. After DreamBox128 and PS2 announced that they are compatible with PS games, "Bleem! for Dreamcast" has become an important means for Sega to enhance its competitiveness. People secretly contacted Bleem and sent some internal technical information about the Dreamcast mainframe to the past, hoping that "Bleem! forDreamcast" can be launched as soon as possible, so as to bring rich game software to the Dreamcast mainframe.

However, after Hideki Sato came to power, this kind of technical exchange was immediately stopped, and now he even turned his guns to deal with Bleem Company. Xiangshan Tetsu felt that even if he thought about it with his knees, he would understand that Hideki Sato's behavior was probably for the sake of Courtesy of Sony Computer Entertainment.

"Bastard..." Xiang Shanzhe hit the wall with his fist again, and walked away angrily along the aisle...

……

Watching the door of the vice president's office slowly close, the corners of Hideki Sato's mouth twitched slowly. In fact, going to Bleem's bad luck is just a trivial matter, and you can find any legal representative to do it, and he specially arranged Let Xiang Shanzhe handle it, of course it won't be that simple.

"Xiangshan, if you are unwilling to do this, or if you can't do it well, then don't blame me for taking advantage of it! If you do it well, then I can ask President Kutaragi for credit..." Hideo Sato Shu leaned on his office chair, complacently imagining Xiangshan Zhe's wonderful face.

Although he was not sitting in the president's office, Sato Hideki seemed to feel that the entire Sega was under his control at this time.As an old man of Sega, Hideki Sato's heart is full of love for Sega. He looks down on Xiangshan Tetsu who came from another place by air, so if Xiangshan Tetsu supports it, he will oppose it. With Nintendo's cooperation, he will do the opposite.Sometimes, Hideki Sato feels that he and Tetsu Kazan are a bit similar, they are the kind of people who have identified a certain goal and will continue to do it. If they are not in the same Sega company and are in two camps, maybe the two of them have a good relationship. Chance to be friends.

In fact, Hideki Sato did not expect to cooperate with Sony Computer Entertainment at the very beginning, but Tetsu Kazan went very smoothly a while ago, and he has the support of Isao Okawa in everything he does, even including the socialization of several major game development teams. However, President Okawa's body is getting worse day by day. Seeing that Sega is about to become the possession of outsiders.Hideki Sato hoped to reverse this situation, but he and his supporters did a lot but still had no effect. At this moment Ken Kutaragi appeared, and Hideki Sato had no choice but to pin his hopes on Sony Computer Entertainment.

Unexpectedly, things really changed from then on. It didn’t take long for Sega to announce its cooperation with Sony Computer Entertainment. Kayama Tetsu, who was determined to cooperate with Nintendo, became a stumbling block to be removed. Later, Sato Hideki became Sega’s vice president. Long, and under the authorization of Isao Okawa, he began to lead the development of the entire Sega company, all of which made him feel like he was dreaming.Of course, there is one person Sato Hideki would like to thank, that is the stubborn old man Yamauchi, if that guy hadn't dismissed the olive branch thrown by President Okawa, perhaps all these changes would not have happened.

Hideki Sato was not originally a very ambitious person, but maybe power can change people. In just over a month, he has become very accustomed to the life of the current "acting president", especially for Xiangshan Tetsu. The feeling of being bossed by people makes him feel very refreshed.Because Ken Kutaragi made a lot of efforts in this matter, unknowingly Sato Hideki's psychological balance really gradually leaned towards Sony Computer Entertainment, not what he thought at the beginning, just using Sony Computer Entertainment to attack Xiangshan Zhe, pushed out the outsiders in Sega.

In order to repay Ken Kutaragi's support, Sato Hideki has gradually become proactive from being reluctant at the beginning, for example, what he ordered Koyama Tetsu to do this time is to kill two birds with one stone, that is, to have the opportunity to help Sony Computer Entertainment has another chance to hit Xiang Shanzhe again.

While imagining Xiangshan Tetsu's ugly face, Sato Hideki picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number to go out, and then said into the microphone: "Yamaki-kun, keep an eye on Xiangshan's guys, and tell me immediately if there is any movement ..."

……

Furious, Koyama Tetsu did not go back to his office. There are not many people on his side in the current Sega headquarters, and many people who follow the wind are wisely standing on Sato Hideki's side, even if some of them did not make a clear statement , but at least it won't come out when Hideki Sato is popular.Xiang Shanzhe usually doesn't want to stay in the office. Anyway, there is no one to talk to. Now that he has encountered such a depressing incident, he simply walked out of the office building, went to a nearby izakaya, and ordered a few bottles of sake. , a person drank slowly.

After drinking for a while, the anger in Xiang Shanzhe's heart gradually calmed down, and his thinking became clear again. He suddenly discovered the murderous intent hidden in Sato Hideki's order. If this matter is settled, then the other party will be able to take advantage of the problem, and may even drive him out of Sega. If he does this well, it will not be of any benefit to Sega, but it will be no different to Hideki Sato who has joined Sony Computer Entertainment Yu did a great favor.

"This bastard..." Xiang Shanzhe put his wine glass down heavily, and muttered angrily.He knew that no matter what he did, it would be impossible to ease the relationship with Hideki Sato. This may have been doomed the day he came to Sega, but he couldn't accept that he failed like this, especially such a useless failure.

Xiangshan Zhe came to Sega to save the crisis. Although there were some small setbacks with Isao Okawa, the other party made some promises after all. He still has a certain opportunity to play, but the situation after Hideki Sato came to power It's different.Unlike Okawa Isao, Sato Hideki seems to have no regard for Koyama Tetsu at all, and the two seem to be unable to coexist, especially after Sato Hideki made such a show today, Koyama Tetsu feels that the two have reached the point where they will never die. "The point.

Although Xiang ShanZhe was very unwilling, he could not resist the order given by Sato Hideki, the "acting president". "Do we have to endure like this?" Xiangshan Zhechang sighed and shook his head helplessly.At this moment, Xiang Shanzhe remembered something, he took out his wallet, took out a business card from it, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully.

This is a business card of Xu Yeming from the Electronic Entertainment Division of Dongfang Industrial Group. Xiang Shanzhe still remembers the situation when he got this business card. It was a day more than a month ago. Although Isao Okawa has not officially announced the personnel adjustment of Sega, But Xiang Shanzhe already knew that he had lost power, and he also came to this izakaya in anguish. That was the time he met Xu Yeming.

"Mr. Xiangshan, I think you may need this business card." Xiangshanzhe still remembers that Xu Yeming took out a business card and handed it over after chatting casually for a while. Although he didn't say it clearly, Xiangshanzhe understood what he meant. He shouldn't have accepted this business card, but for some reason, he accidentally took it and put it in his wallet, but he never thought about taking out this business card.

Looking carefully at Xu Yeming's business card, the expression on Xiang Shanzhe's face kept changing, and he seemed to be struggling in his heart. Finally, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He got up and went to a public phone booth outside the izakaya. The number on the business card was called.

"Mr. Xu, hello! I'm Xiangshan, I haven't contacted for a long time..." Xiangshanzhe said with a smile on his phone, at this moment, his previous depression had long since disappeared...
