Back To 1995

   Chapter 378

   "Nintendo asks for an exclusive collaboration?"

In San Jose, when Song Yang heard Ken Williams talking about this, he couldn't help frowning. Song Yang had long known that he had heard of Nintendo's domineering, but Yamauchi didn't discuss it at all, and directly asked Xue Leshan for exclusive use. The "domineering" cooperation was somewhat beyond Song Yang's expectations.

   If this was in the Internet industry, it would have been attacked long ago. Netscape wanted to play exclusive platforms like this before, but now it is about to be cold, but Nintendo dares to make such a request, which also shows Nintendo’s strength and confidence.

   "The game console market is a platform that Diablo must log in to. If the console market is lost, it may be a huge loss in sales for Xue Leshan!" Ken Williams said.

   Nintendo's attitude is basically that of Japanese benzene game manufacturers. Most of the attitudes towards Xueleshan's entry into the Japanese benzene market are opposed, and Nintendo is particularly obvious. It wants to make Xueleshan "abide" by the rules set by Nintendo.

   "What if I choose another game console?" Song Yang asked.

Now in the game console industry, Nintendo is the leader, but it is not without rivals. Sony is Nintendo's most direct competitor. This year, it launched a masterpiece PS console. Although the sales of benzene in Japan are not as good as that of Nintendo, it has surpassed Nintendo in overseas markets. .

In addition, there is Sega's Saturn console, Atari, which is dead but not dead, has repeatedly jumped between bankruptcy and reorganization, and has also launched a game console such as the Jaguar, which is closely related to Nintendo. fight.

In addition, there is Nippon Bandai game console, an emerging game brand in America. Hawkins, the founder of EA game company who was born in Apple, established 3DO game console jointly with Panasonic, Telephone and Telegraph Group, Time Warner, Universal, etc. platform, etc.

   So now, the choice of game console platforms seems to be a lot, but in fact, there are not many choices. The most important thing is sales!

"At present, the best-selling consoles in the console industry are Nintendo's N64 and Sony's PS consoles. Sega's consoles have no sales in overseas markets other than Nippon Benzene. Atari, 3DO, and Bandai have the same problems. It's too low, only Nintendo and Sony's consoles can cover the global market!"

Ken Williams said in a hurry. Seeing the announcement of "Diablo", it is already in full swing, and the release date is coming soon. As a result, the console game platform has not been signed yet. This is not true for Xue Leshan. Got a good new.

Ken Williams is inclined to cooperate with Nintendo, nothing else, Nintendo N64 is more powerful, can show the grand scene of the game, real dynamic light source and 3D real-time calculation, etc., can transform the game screen of Diablo, fully displayed to the player.

However, the conditions on Nintendo's side are really harsh. If they want to cooperate with Nintendo, they can only allow "Diablo" on the Nintendo console, and even the PC version cannot be released, not to mention the "Xue Leshan Online" launched by Xue Leshan. "The game platform is online!

   "Talk to Sony, as long as the console version of Diablo can be logged into Sony's PS console, Xueleshan can make concessions on the game share. In the future, Xueleshan will also give priority to cooperating with Sony consoles."

  Song Yang said directly to Ken Williams, since Nintendo and Yamauchi Pu are not willing to cooperate with Xue Leshan, then Xue Leshan is as he wished.

   After Ken Williams left, Song Yang took a deep breath. Now he felt that Bill Gates had to be aggrieved, and he had to look at the faces of Nintendo and Sony when he entered the game industry.

Originally, Song Yang didn't have much interest in the console industry. After all, Xueleshan has already launched a PC game platform. As long as Xueleshan is online and can reach the level of steam and Epic, Xueleshan will be able to have a powerful enough game. Game sales channels.

But now Nintendo's attitude towards Xue Leshan makes Song Yang feel that Xue Leshan wants to stay in the game industry, and in the game console industry, Xue Leshan also needs a channel. Song Yang suddenly became interested in Sega. Take down Sega, then Sega's game console can make up for the last shortcoming of Xue Leshan!

But these are things in the future. The most important thing at the moment is the release of "Diablo". This is not related to the success or failure of a game. It may be related to the entire ICQ, or even the merger with the NBC Group. , will be affected.

  While ICQ and Xueleshan were busy releasing "Diablo", there was no peace on the Japanese side. There were still people doing things about Xueleshan's acquisition of Sammy.

   Satomiji was across the Pacific Ocean, and Song Yang called, "Song, on Riben's side, there are still people who are dissatisfied with Sammy's acquisition. It is reported that someone wants to push Riben's investigation into this acquisition!"

   You don’t have to think about it, it must be the opponents of Sammy Company, who are doing things behind their backs, and there are others in the billiard room. They are worried that the admission of Xue Leshan will affect them, so they are taking the opportunity to do things.

Hearing Satomi's words, Song Yang couldn't help spit out a suffocating breath. He felt that the opponents of Riben were just like vicious dogs. If they didn't teach them a lesson, they would keep chasing and biting them, only to beat them. Evil dogs wag their tails and beg for mercy!

   "I see, President Satomi, you don't have to worry about these, just manage the business of Sammy and Xue Leshan Nippon Co., Ltd. is enough!"

After Song Yang put down the phone, he paced back and forth a few steps in the room, and then made a few calls to go out. Song Yang found so many shareholders and consultants for Xueleshan Riben Company, isn't it just for this moment? You can't take money for nothing and don't work, right?

  Japan Benzene Asahi TV broadcast the news, "The latest news from the Ministry of Finance, will implement a new amendment to the "Foreign Exchange Law", to review and restrict foreign funds flowing into Japan Benzene, to ensure the safety of Japan Benzene company..."

Although I didn't name the company, I just went to Sammy Company, but at this juncture, the biggest news of Nippon Benzene recently is undoubtedly the news that Sammy Company was acquired by Xue Leshan for 86.3 billion yen, and it came out at this time. , I can't help but criticize Sang.

Immediately afterwards, several Japanese benzene media broke the news, "Several Japanese benzene agencies in Tokyo claimed to have received a report against Sammy, and then conducted a joint inspection of Sammy, and sealed up Sammy on the grounds of product quality. A batch of pachinko machines worth more than $2.4 million and a huge fine!"

It was also suddenly revealed that the operator of the Japanese Benzene Ballroom had terminated the cooperation with Sami and no longer ordered pachinko machines from Sami. Even the Japanese Benzene Ballroom Chain Association will decide to expel the Sami Group. For a time, Sammy Company felt that the storm was about to come.

   And at this moment, a statement from the American Foreign Affairs Council suddenly brought this to an abrupt end.

  A magazine affiliated with the American Foreign Affairs Committee suddenly appeared in the latest issue of the magazine, claiming to protect the overseas earnings of the American company and avoid unfair treatment of the American company overseas!

After the magazine, an Asia expert employed by the American Foreign Affairs Council said in an interview with The Washington Post, "I have some concerns about the market in certain Asian regions, and America's investments in Asia are being Being treated unfairly, I think it is necessary to take special measures when necessary to safeguard the interests of America overseas!"

   These remarks were murderous. When that magazine and this interview were passed on to Nippon, people in certain industries of Nippon immediately began to sweat on their backs.

Only on the second day, the special search department of the Japanese Benzene Procuratorate also suddenly announced that an investigation and prosecution was launched against a Tokyo congressman. An identity, one of the public consultants of the Japanese Benzene Ballroom Chain Association, this time, he was pulled out by the Japanese Benzene Inspection and Special Investigation Department as a target!

Pinzifang Chain Association, basically the pinzifang of Japan Benzene will join this association in name, and most of the people who can serve as consultants in this association are people from the Senate and House of Representatives of Japan Benzene, who have a deep background in Japan Benzene, or Powerful MPs.

   And this time, a member of the billiard room chain association was suddenly indicted, causing all the people in the benzene billiard room industry to become silent for a while.

The remarks of the American Foreign Affairs Committee and the special search department of the Japanese Benzene Prosecution Department made people who wanted to drive Samei Company, Xue Leshan, and Japanese Benzene companies out of the company. The company got a voice. The seized batch of Sami pachinko machines were immediately unsealed, and the fines were revoked. The pachinko machine operators who refused to cooperate with Sami also changed their minds. Sami's status in the Japanese Benzene Ballroom Chain Association also changed. Start soaring!

Whether it's the congressional advisers in the billiard room or the opponents of Sammy, they are not targeting Sammy. It is hard to say whether they can kill Sammy. The people behind Sammy are absolutely powerful. All kinds of tricks to kill them, physically...

  Without the constraints, Sammy began to rampage at the time of Dayton, and Satomi Harumi took people and started to **** the pinball market in an open and fair manner.

Song Yang didn't pay too much attention to the Japanese benzene market. Now Samei is a fox and a tiger in the Japanese benzene market. With the help of the suzerain's amulet, in Japanese benzene, no matter whether it is a group of parliamentarians or opponents, they have not dared to take a shot at the Samei company. , If Sammy can't develop this, then Song Yang should consider changing to a Japanese benzene agent.

   Less than 24 hours before the release date, Xue Leshan publicly announced that it has reached a cooperation with Nippon Sony for the console version of "Diablo", and will log in to Sony's PS console through game discs and cassettes.

  America entered the hottest period of the election of the new leader, and the "Diablo" with the Blizzard LOGO entered the release day!
