Chapter 371 Sega's Belonging

The temperature in Tokyo in April is very pleasant. Although Hideki Sato could not feel the warmth of the sun outside while sitting in the Nissan car, his mood was as bright as the weather. After waiting for a long time, today finally came the time to reveal the Gu, and The information collected during this period is very beneficial to him, and with Sony Computer Entertainment's backing support, he believes that this time the Sega President's throne has been firmly secured.

Gradually, the Sega headquarters building appeared not far ahead. Hideki Sato flicked the steering wheel and turned into the road leading to the underground parking lot. With brisk steps, he walked towards the elevator dedicated to the company's top management.

Walking into the elevator, Hideki Sato pressed the button for the floor where his office is located, and then habitually came to the railing, ready to take a look at the scenery outside the glass while the elevator was rising.The elevator door was closing slowly, suddenly there was a flash on the elevator panel, and the elevator door opened again, Sato Hideki turned around to look at it, unexpectedly it was Tetsu Kayama who appeared in front of him.

Sato Hideki sniffled slightly, and a habitual smile appeared on his face. Although he was not sincere at all, he still turned his body to one side, pretending to be generous.If it was in the past, he would not have shown kindness to Xiangshan Zhe, even if it was just a pretense, but today is different, he no longer needs to show such kindness when he has the chance to win, and he even feels a little sorry for Xiangshan Zhe Feel.

The expression on Xiang Shanzhe's face changed a few times, but his feet didn't move a bit, as if he didn't intend to enter the elevator at all. Looking at the gradually disappearing figure outside the door, he snorted softly: "Sure enough, he is still a useless guy!"

The elevator shook slightly and began to rise rapidly. Hideki Sato turned around and held on to the railing, looking out. Tokyo, bathed in the rising sun, seemed to be coated with a touch of gold. "Ding~", the elevator stopped with a slight jolt, the elevator door slowly slid open to both sides, Hideki Sato stepped out of the elevator and came to the corridor outside.

"President Sato, good morning!" Yu Nakamura, the head of the corporate development department who happened to pass by, saw Hideki Sato coming out of the elevator, and hurriedly greeted Hideki Sato.

"Nakamura-kun, you made a mistake." Hideki Sato waved his hand and corrected, "It should be the vice president."

"President Sato, you are too modest, isn't this just an immediate matter!" Nakamura Xiong complimented again and again with a smile on his face.

"This..." Sato Hideki continued to be modest, but his heart was already full of joy. After so long, he could finally remove the word "deputy" in front of "President".

After chatting with Xiong Nakamura for a while, Hideki Sato raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was almost an hour before the scheduled nine o'clock in the morning, and there was still a lot of time to waste. He said goodbye to Xiong Nakamura with a smile , and then walked to his office, intending to check the latest information from the Internet.

"...The U.S. Federal Reserve once again announced that it will cut the federal funds rate and the discount rate by 0.5 percentage points each... This is the fourth consecutive reduction of interest rates by the Federal Reserve this year, and the total reduction has reached two percentage points..."

"...Nintendo announced that the Japanese version of NGC will be postponed for two months... It is understood that it is likely to be related to the small number of first-time games..."

"...Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori held a press conference to formally announce his resignation to the public..."

"...Sony, Toshiba and IBM announced that they have reached a consensus to jointly develop the processor for the next generation of game consoles. It is said that the performance will be 1000 times that of the current mainstream game consoles..."

While Hideki Sato was clicking the mouse unhurriedly, enjoying the special service from the secretary and browsing various news on the website, Tetsu Kayama, who was a few steps behind him, also walked out of the elevator and appeared on another floor.Xiang Shanzhe looked left and right, but there was no one in the corridor, so he walked along the corridor to the third office on the left, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, and pressed the door a few times according to the number on it. There was a light "beep" sound on the digital dial, and the door automatically opened a crack.

Xiang Shanzhe opened the door and walked in. There was no one in the room. He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was still 10 minutes away from the appointed time.Xiang Shanzhe breathed out lightly, came to the sofa and sat down, he was a little nervous now, in fact, someone had already made a promise on the phone last night, but when he didn't see it with his own eyes, some things were not certain It will develop as expected.

On the tea table in front of the sofa were some exquisite Japanese refreshments, but Xiang Shanzhe was not in the mood to taste them. For some reason, he felt a little nervous now. This was not common in the past, even if he just went to It was never like this in the Kurut Group.The time was beating every minute and every second, and Xiang Shanzhe felt as if there was a huge clock ticking in his mind, which made him unable to calm down and think as usual.

I don't know how long it took, a slight noise caught Xiangshanzhe's attention, he turned his head to look at the door from which the sound came, and just saw the door being slowly pushed open, a trace of joy appeared on his face, and immediately Standing up and looking towards the door, I felt a bit of anticipation and apprehension in my heart...

57:[-] a.m.  …

Hideki Sato came to the door of the small meeting room on the upper floor refreshed, tidied up his appearance a little, then opened the door and walked in.There were already several directors sitting in front of the meeting table in the conference room. Akihiro Aoyama, who represented Sony Computer Entertainment, also appeared here as agreed. Hideki Sato exchanged greetings with the directors with a smile on his face, and then threw a look at the sitting upright Aoyama Akihiro, then came to his seat and sat down, picked up the teacup in front of him, and pretended to drink it.

After drinking two sips of tea, there was some movement from the direction of the gate. Sato Hideki looked back, but suddenly found that it was Koyama Tetsu who came in. He was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that the other party seemed to have the title of director, although he hadn't come to attend for a long time The decision-making meeting is over, but the qualifications to come are still there.Seeing Xiangshan Zhe's expression that he didn't want to be beaten, Hideki Sato snorted coldly, turned his head and continued to compete with the teacup, he couldn't be entangled with this kind of guy who has no future.

59:[-]...

There was movement again from the direction of the door of the conference room. Hideki Sato looked back and found that it was Yoshiji Fukushima, the chairman of CSK, who was coming. He hurriedly got up to greet him, but he didn't expect that there was someone beside Yoshiji Fukushima, so he had to stop his steps. down.Yoshiji Fukushima walked into the meeting room and greeted everyone as usual, even the smiles on his face were the same, but the people walking beside him made Hideki Sato feel a little uneasy.

Fukushima Yoshiji let the people beside him sit down on the right-hand side of the conference table, then cleared his throat, and said to everyone in the conference room: "Everyone, let me introduce first, the person next to me is Dongfang Mr. Wu Sanshan, general manager of the RB branch of the international investment bank."

Wu Sanshan sat on a chair and smiled at everyone: "Hello everyone, I am very glad to be able to attend the important meeting of Sega Corporation today."

When Aoyama Akihiro heard that the person was from the Oriental International Investment Bank, he immediately felt something wrong, but before he could take any action, Yoshiji Fukushima announced the start of today's meeting.

"Well," Yoshiharu Fukushima said with a slightly sad tone: "Mr. Okawa has passed away, but Sega cannot be without a new leader, otherwise the future business will definitely be very problematic..."

Everyone nodded unanimously, the reason why they came today was for this important matter, Sato Hideki also thought so in his heart, he nodded, his body moved forward a little, anxiously waiting for Fukushima Yoshiji's next words .Aoyama Akihiro doesn't care about the future of Sega, he just needs to confirm that Sega and Sony will get together, and now most of his attention is put on the general manager of the RB branch of Dongfang International Investment Bank, wanting to learn from the other side. Analyze some more information on the expression.

"... During this period of time, the company was basically supported by Mr. Sato, especially when Mr. Okawa was seriously ill." Yoshiji Fukushima looked at Hideki Sato and said with a smile on his face: "Here I represent CSK Club Thank you Mr. Sato for your continuous efforts.”

Fukushima Yoshiji's words made Sato Hideki very useful. Although he thought that he really deserved this kind of evaluation, his habit of many years still made him pretend to be modest and said: "President Fukushima is serious, I just try my best." , as an old man of Sega, this should be."

Unexpectedly, Fukushima Yoshiharu changed the subject at this time: "However, Sega has come to the point where it needs to make some changes, so I recommend Koyama Tetsu as the new president of Sega."

There was a bang, as if there was a thunder in his ears, Sato Hideki couldn't help standing up, and exclaimed: "What!"

Aoyama Akihiro was also taken aback, and hastily looked at Hideyoshi Tanaka, the director who had already taken refuge in Sony, hoping that the other party would come forward to object.Hideyoshi Tanaka nodded knowingly, stood up and said: "Chairman Fukushima and Vice President Sato have made a lot of achievements during this period. Compared with consultant Xiangshan, I think it may be more appropriate to be the new president."

Yoshiharu Fukushima said without any change in expression: "Since this is the case, almost all the members of the board of directors have come. I suggest that everyone vote on the spot."

"Alright, it's important, so it's better to be more cautious." Tanaka Hideyoshi glanced at Aoyama Akihiro who was sitting upright, and said confidently: "I agree to vote!"

Several other directors looked at each other and nodded in agreement.As a cautious person, Aoyama Akihiro has considered all kinds of situations, and the people he contacts are not limited to Sato Hideki and Tanaka Hideyoshi, so even if he wants to vote, he is very confident that he will achieve his goal.But when the final voting result came out, Aoyama Akihiro was still taken aback, "7:1", excluding the old fellow Fukushima Yoshiharu, that means six of the directors at the scene voted for Kayama Tetsu, It was too unexpected for him.

"Vice President Sato has worked hard these days, I think we can arrange for him to be the president of the game company jointly owned by Sega and Sony..."

Hideki Sato can no longer hear what others are saying. He has been confused since the voting results just now. He doesn't know why things turned out like this. He obviously has the strong support of Sony Computer Entertainment, and it is even said that He has already obtained the approval of President Fukushima, but now Xiangshan Tetsu has become the new president of the company. Based on what he has done during this period, I believe that Xiangshan Tetsu will never forget the "reciprocity" when he comes to power. His future may start from This moment has come to naught.

A chill slowly creeps up from Aoyama Akihiro's back. If Kayama Tetsu came to power, it is probably impossible to maintain close cooperation with Sony like Sato Hideki due to the other party's tendency, and he is the one who messed things up with President Kutaragi. Don't even think about asking for anything.

At this time, Fukushima Yoshiji seemed to have discovered Aoyama Akihiro suddenly, smiled at him and said: "Aoyama-kun, there is something I forgot to tell you."

"What's the matter?" Aoyama Akihiro asked suspiciously.

"Aren't you Sony Computer Entertainment very interested in the Sega shares held by CSK?"

"Oh, yes, is the CSK club going to be transferred?" Aoyama Akihiro felt that things seemed to have turned around, and asked with joy in his heart.

"Yes, we have already signed the contract, and the Sega shares in the hands of CSK have been transferred to Dongfang International Investment Bank!" Yoshiji Fukushima said happily.

"What!" Aoyama Minghong couldn't help but stood up, pointed with his fingers tremblingly, then snorted fiercely, turned around and walked away without looking back, he felt that he was being played by Sega, so that When I left, I was not interested in looking at Sato Hideki again.

The distraught Hideki Sato seemed to have suddenly lost all his strength, and he collapsed on the chair...
