Back To 1995

   Chapter 377

  Meeks wiped the corners of his mouth and stared at Song Yang. He didn't mention anything else. Instead, he said to Song Yang, "Song, I heard that you have invested a lot in Asia?"

  Song Yang put down the cutlery in his hand and took a sip of coffee. The bitter taste made Song Yang's nerves jump, "I think Asia will be the next emerging market, whether it's the Internet or other aspects!"

   "I think so too, but Asia will bring more than that!"

  Meeks tapped a finger and looked at Song Yang with a bit of interest, "I think the future America will definitely need to focus on Asia, but now..."

   shook his head, with a bit of ridicule and helplessness on Meeks' face, "The eyes of the Federal Foreign Affairs Committee are still on the mess in Eastern Europe and the Middle East!"

Song Yang listened to Meeks' words and suddenly became thoughtful. The Federal Foreign Affairs Committee was not the party or the Donkey Party. No matter who became the boss of the Federal Foreign Affairs Committee, it actually represented the entire foreign affairs. The affairs committee, and even the chief commander, has the meaning of the Capitol Hill side.

   "So, Song, are you looking for me this time?" Meeks talked to Song Yang a few words, glanced at the time in his hand, and asked directly to Song Yang.

   Looking at Meeks, Song Yang didn't go around in circles, but said directly, "Xue Leshan established a company in Japan Benzene. To enter the Japanese benzene billiards industry, it needs the support of Meeks executives and the Foreign Affairs Committee!"

"10%," Song Yang also knew that in the face of a character like Meeks, who had no friendship at all, it would be arrogant to talk about others, "10% of Xue Leshan Riben Company will be distributed to an American Foundation. , this foundation can grant stipends or subsidies to Meeks and other members of the Foreign Affairs Committee!"

You don't have to send a US knife, any coupons for ball game boxes, large discount coupons for cars, free lucky coupons for high-end restaurants, etc., coupons for various products, and even discounts from luxury stores, etc., can also be used as " Part of the subsidy is distributed, and as a result of the painstaking development of America brokers for so many years, this is already a complete industrial chain.

  Otherwise, those Amerikas and their families, with that little fixed salary, can go to high-end restaurants from time to time, sit in the box of the arena, and wear clothes that are obviously expensive without nameplates...

  Song Yang told Meeks directly that as long as the Foreign Affairs Committee supports them, the Snow Mountain Riben Company will get 10% of the income every year, which can be distributed as their subsidy.

  As the Director of Asian Affairs of the Federal Foreign Affairs Council, Meeks is naturally familiar with the Asian region, and he understands what a billiards industry is.

   Looking at Song Yang, Meeks gritted his teeth up and down, "15%, the 15% of Xueleshan Riben Company's income belongs to the foundation of the Foreign Affairs Committee!"

  Song Yang thought about it for a moment, then got up and extended his hand to Meeks. Meeks thought that Song Yang would still haggle with him, but he didn't expect that Song Yang agreed so neatly.

   "Looking forward to our next chance to meet." After Meeks shook hands with Song Yang, he got up and walked out of the restaurant and turned to leave.

   Looking at Meeks' figure, Song Yang drank the whole cup of bitter coffee. Song Yang didn't expect to make much money from Xue Leshan Riben Company.

On the contrary, with the help of the Snow Mountain Sun Benzene Co., Ltd., they attracted a lot of supporters on the American side. Pattarelli, Tom DeLay, the Cowboy Family and other members of the Elephant Party have now joined the Federal Foreign Affairs Committee. Back here.

If he used the leeks that cut Riben to exchange for these support, Song Yang felt that it was completely worth it. Anyway, it wasn't his own flesh that was cut. As for how Riben felt, it was the deep love from the suzerain, and Riben had the right to refuse. ? !

When Xue Leshan was in full swing and began to promote "Diablo" on a large scale in many places around the world, news suddenly came out from Nippon, the second largest manufacturer of pinball machines in Nippon, Sammy Co. Leshan Nippon Co., Ltd. has reached a merger agreement to merge with Xueleshan Nippon Co., Ltd. at a price of 750 million US dollars and 86.3 billion yen!

This kind of news, for the entire Japanese benzene game industry, is no different than a nuclear bomb Japanese benzene game industry explosion, especially many companies in the billiard room industry, when they heard the sudden news, they were all shocked. Considered as a private land for Japanese benzene, now there is an American company to take a share of the pie.

Although Sammi announced that this was a "merger", and after the merger, Sammi was still managed by the management headed by Satomi, and even Satomi became the vice president of Xue Leshan Nippon Co., Ltd. Nominally became the top person in charge of Xue Leshan Nippon Co., Ltd. and Samei Co., Ltd. in Nippon Co.!

   But everyone with discernment understands that Sammy was actually bought by Xue Leshan.

Xueleshan Riben Company, buying Sammei Company and entering the pinball room, will affect the Japanese benzene company. No one knows, but whether it is those pinball room operators, pinball machine manufacturers, game suppliers, etc. , are actually very vigilant.

Almost as soon as the news came out, the Japanese benzene media announced that the acquisition of Sammy by Xueleshan Riben Company was to plunder the Japanese marble industry. Boycott the rumors of Xueleshan and Sammy.

  The leader of the Japanese pachinko industry, Universal Entertainment, as well as the direct competitors of Samkyo, Heiwa, and Fujisho, are naturally taking advantage of the opportunity to fan the flames behind their backs and want to bring down Sammy.

And Maruhan, Park, Dynam and several major marble operators are also watching, as for Sony, Nintendo, Konami, Capcom and many other game manufacturers are also watching the snow that suddenly entered the Japanese benzene market. Leshan, this is a rare overseas game manufacturer in recent years that dares to enter the Shura field of the Japanese benzene market.

At the Nintendo headquarters, Yamauchi, who has been in charge of Nintendo for 47 years, sits on it, and the company's executives sit on both sides. For this one-handed person who has brought Nintendo from a small card company of 2 billion yen to today's market value of 20 billion US dollars The president of the behemoth of Nintendo, and a group of Nintendo executives, respected him like a god, even though the latter is 69 years old, but still no one dared to propose the idea of ​​​​letting him retire.

   Yamauchi looked at the reports from the Japanese Benzene news media in his hand, took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes and said, "So, what exactly does Xue Leshan want to do?"

Yamauchi looked at the crowd. In this meeting room, there were Nintendo executives, who had Yamauchi's absolute confidant. They made great contributions to Nintendo and developed several game consoles for Nintendo. President Yokoi Junpei , In charge of the development of Nintendo games, Shigeru Miyamoto, who has launched Super Mario, and other Nintendo veterans are there.

In addition, there are other people who are participating in this meeting by phone, including the president of Nintendo North America, who is also the son-in-law of Yamauchi Hiroshi Arakawa, and Howard Lincoln, president of Nintendo North America. Besides, the most special one is a Small transparent sitting in the corner.

   This person is Satoshi Iwata, the president of HAL, which provides software technical support for Nintendo. He was specially allowed to participate in this meeting by Hiroshi Yamauchi. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that Hiroshi Yamauchi is cultivating Satoshi Iwata.

Nintendo is now the leader of Japanese benzene, and even the global leader in the global console game market. Although Sony consoles, Sega, etc. have all challenged Nintendo, they have not yet been able to pick Nintendo. This time, Xue Leshan entered the Japanese benzene market. , Nintendo is also very concerned about it.

   As for Xue Leshan, Yamauchi didn't pay much attention to it before. He only knew that he had cooperated with Nintendo in North America, but he was so active this year, and he even went to the Japanese benzene market, which Yamauchi didn't expect.

The first person to speak was Howard Lincoln, who attended the conference by phone, "Xue Leshan was acquired by the Internet company ICQ this year. Its founder is Bruno Song, who is considered to be one of the most influential figures in the Internet industry. Leshan is currently implementing "Diablo" and entering the Japanese benzene market. I thought it might be for the Japanese benzene marble market.

   Xue Leshan should have no intention to compete with Nintendo, and this time Xue Leshan intends to cooperate with Nintendo to let Diablo be on the Nintendo game console! "

   Hearing that Xue Leshan was going to enter the Japanese marble market, Yamauchi couldn't help but smile, "Xue Leshan wants to enter the marble room, where does it think Japanese benzene is?!"

Through the phone, Howard Lincoln could feel the contempt of Yamauchi Pu for Xue Leshan. Howard Lincoln wanted to say that this time Xue Leshan really made a big name in America, and Song Yang was not so easy to deal with. , But when the words came to his mouth, Howard Lincoln shut up again.

Yamauchi Pu's character is paranoid, and he has a fight with Apple Joe's gang leader. It is also this kind of personality. He does not compromise. Whether it is for Nintendo's third-party collaborators or others, Yamauchi Pu is extremely domineering and requires exclusive cooperation. This is the Nintendo of today, but it also makes the relationship between Nintendo and other game manufacturers very tense.

   "Xue Leshan wants to cooperate with Nintendo?!"

Today's meeting is not for Xue Leshan, but there are more important things. Regarding the handling of Xue Leshan, Yamauchi Pu is still very domineering, "Xue Leshan's "Diablo" wants to board Nintendo's The console must be an exclusive license, Nintendo does not allow it, Diablo appears on other consoles and platforms, and the pachinko machine of Sammy, the cooperation with Nintendo, is also the same!”

The meaning of   Yamuchi is very simple. If Xue Leshan wants to cooperate with Nintendo, it must focus on Nintendo. Whether it is a console game or a pinball machine, if you want to cooperate with Nintendo, you must cooperate exclusively with Nintendo.

"Nintendo must regain its advantage in the console industry, whether it's Sony's PS, Sega's Saturn or Atari's Jaguar or 3DO!" Yamauchi said directly. In today's meeting, the most important thing for Nintendo is to discuss **** it. A growing number of console opponents.
