Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Baichuan Electric is currently involved in the game field, only the handheld industry.

But beyond that there are arcade machines, home consoles, and even computer games in their infancy.

After all, the handheld is still too simple. First of all, the hardware has the greatest limitation on it.

Both the picture and the sense of experience are far behind arcade machines and home game consoles.

After the meeting, Shirakawa Feng also pulled Tanimura, Iwata Satoshi, and Akagi to discuss the possible future development prospects of HAL.

"HAL is currently only focusing on the field of handheld games.

But out of comprehensive considerations, I think business expansion can be done appropriately. "

"Hey, Bai Chuan-san, our handheld business is still on the rise.

Are you so eager to develop other businesses?" Tanimura never thought that Bai Chuanfeng would continue to expand HAL's business.

In his opinion, HAL is doing well now.

The games produced are equipped with their own handhelds, and the sales have been good.

Before the handheld business started, he couldn't even afford a small umbrella.

After half a year now, not only did he change his place of residence to a high-end apartment, but he even changed his girlfriend by the way.

He is not dissatisfied with his current life, so why take risks to develop other businesses.

If the loss affects the income of the handheld, wouldn't it be less and less for him to get?

Bai Chuanfeng glanced at him indifferently, "Tanimura-kun, a new club, you must have the courage to try.

Especially in the field of video games, everyone is groping forward.

If we stick to the existing field, then those blue oceans that may exist in the future may pass us by. "

In terms of courage and self-motivation, Tanimura is still a bit short after all.

I hope that the young people of HAL will grow up as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Bai Chuanfeng turned to look at Iwata Satoshi beside him.

"Iwata-kun, what other areas do you think HAL can extend?"

"Computer game" Satoru Iwata gave his answer without hesitation.

"Tell me." Bai Chuanfeng showed interest.

"Bai Chuan Sang", "Wait"

Iwata Satoshi was interrupted by Bai Chuanfeng before he could finish his sentence.

"Call me Bai Chuan-kun in private. Otherwise, it will be uncomfortable for you to call me, and it will be uncomfortable for me to hear."

Bai Chuanfeng knew that this guy was a little nervous sometimes, and he always regarded himself as a student of the same grade.

So in private, Bai Chuanfeng didn't mind, he called himself a friend.

Hearing what Bai Chuanfeng said, both Tanimura and Akagi looked envious.

Only the chubby Iwata Satoshi scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Shirakawa-kun, I think personal computers will become popular in the future.

At that time, microcomputers will definitely become a new platform, and games will definitely have a lot to do in it. "

"Very good" Bai Chuanfeng was already very satisfied that he could realize this.

"I agree with Iwata-kun, so HAL may wish to set up a computer game department in the future, specializing in computer game design."

At this time, the cost of game design is more than labor cost and time cost.

Bai Chuanfeng felt that even if he couldn't make a profit, it was good to practice his hands.

"At the same time, if you have time, you may wish to pay attention to home game consoles."

"Eh?" Iwata Satoshi and Tanimura looked at Bai Chuanfeng in surprise.

Bai Chuanfeng smiled slightly, "I might as well tell you all about it, this year we will have our own chips.

This is a processor chip. If you are engaged in software and hardware design, you must be very aware of its key role.

This kind of chip is capable of more complex operations and logic control, and will have excellent performance in delay and power consumption.

At that time, whether it was on a handheld or a home game console, there were broad application scenarios.

So how to use it and design more advanced and better game consoles is your job. "

"Baichuan-kun, are you serious?!" Satoru Iwata asked excitedly.

"Don't worry, when the trial production is successful, we must first send a few pieces to HAL for research and development trials." Bai Chuanfeng made a promise full of confidence.

He is quite confident in Shimasa Toshi and the amount of money he has invested in.

"That's really great!" Satoru Iwata suffered from the slowness of the chip in the previous development of the handheld.

Due to cost constraints, higher-end chips cannot be used.

Ordinary calculator chips are still shrunk versions, and it is really too difficult to use them to design games.

Now hearing the good news from Bai Chuanfeng, Iwata Satoru wished he could get this kind of chip and try his hand now.

"In short, you just need to know about this matter. Before the chip comes out, it must be kept secret."

"clear!"

This is a secret weapon, and the newly developed handheld and home game consoles are strategic secrets that must not be leaked out.

Bai Chuanfeng decided to give Lao Ren a little chip shock.

Although Shirakawa Electric and HAL are relatively young, but the joint efforts of the two may be able to put a big satellite.

Inside a traditional Japanese garden in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

With the arrival of early spring in March, the shrubs and trees in the courtyard have been replaced with new green.

Chirping birds among the branches, and the sound of water dripping from bamboo in the garden, all set off the tranquility and Zen beauty of the courtyard here.

Along the quaint stone path, extending to the end, there is a traditional Japanese-style house.

And just behind the log-colored door in front of him, a closed-door tea party was going on.

"Sakaguchi-san, the revenue of the cotton textile industry has become increasingly poor recently, and the business here in Terada has become more and more difficult."

An almost octogenarian old man sitting at the top of the room, and another gray-haired old man beside him lamented the recent management difficulties of the family business.

"What Terada-san said is that Sakaguchi's textile business has also declined sharply.

The neon economy is taking off, but the traditional industry is like a pool of stagnant water. It seems that the potential of traditional light industry is limited after all. "

The old man named Sakaguchi nodded, agreeing with Kamishou Terada's emotion.

These two elders are the oldest here and in the room, and they are also the most senior people.

The old man at the top is named Eikichi Terada, who is from Osaka.

The family is mainly engaged in traditional industries, such as brewing, textiles, and transportation. It was considered a small local chaebol in the early Showa era.

However, with the economic reform after the war, the family business suffered a certain impact, and its influence is decreasing day by day.

And beside him was another 70-something old man, named Heibei Sakaguchi, from Tottori Prefecture.

Its family businesses are mainly concentrated in cotton spinning, mining, oil, electricity, local banks, energy and financial industries.

In terms of scale, it can be regarded as a small local chaebol, but life is much better than that of Terada Rongkichi.

Eikichi Terada took a sip from the teacup above, and then glanced at a middle-aged man below who spoke in a low voice.

"Nagata, Keio's current development is really enviable.

Whether it is electric railways, department stores, or real estate, the performance in recent years has been surprising.

Sure enough, compared to traditional industries, the service industry is one of the symbols of the booming neon economy today. "

Nagata bowed his head humbly and said politely, "It's all thanks to Terada-san, the Keio Group's business is okay."

"If it's possible, let's take a look at what projects the Terada family can cooperate with.

After all, instead of looking for outsiders, it is better to be more reliable with your own people. "

For the sake of the family's development, Terada Eikichi had no choice but to lower himself and seek help from other groups.

"Sure," Nagata said politely again.

"And Ogawa-san, if there is a need for the Odakyu Electric Railway Group, please give priority to Terada's place."

Kazuo Ogawa, who was cueed by Eikichi Terada, had no choice but to put down his teacup and bow slightly.

"Thanks to Terada-san's care, Odakyu will seriously consider it."

"Hmm~" Terada Eikichi nodded in satisfaction, that's all right.

Everyone should be our own people, and we should help each other.

If Nagata and Ogawa knew what Terada Eikichi was thinking at the moment.

You will definitely curl your lips in disdain. Terada's industry has already sunk down, and there is no possibility of cooperation at all.

Cotton spinning? Brewing? How to cooperate, sell cotton cloth and wine on the electric railway?

The so-called cooperation is nothing more than a cover, and the ultimate goal is to use this as an excuse to attract people to invest in money.

It's a pity that everyone is a genius, and everything is just a play on the occasion.

At this moment, Terada Eikichi, who had just finished drinking tea, seemed to suddenly remember something.

He put his hands on his knees and leaned forward slightly.

"By the way, I heard that Nagata-san once cooperated with Shirakawa Electric?"

Shirakawa Electric?

Nagata and Ogawa, who were whispering in private, raised their heads in surprise, and even Hiroto Takei, who was pretending to be a transparent person, began to pay attention to this place.

"Indeed, as Terada-san said, the Keio Group and Shirakawa Electric have some cooperation."

Surprised, but Nagata answered Terada Eikichi's question calmly.

To be honest, the cooperation between Keio Group and Shirakawa Electric has not been a day or two.

Since an active contact last year, the cooperation between the two companies has continued to deepen.

The products of Shirakawa Electric can be found in every branch of Keio Department Store.

And as long as Shirakawa Electric conducts promotional activities, there must be a voucher from Keio Department Store in the product's bonus options.

The cooperation between the two complements each other and can be regarded as a true mutual benefit.

But why did Eikichi Terada mention Shirakawa Electric?

As far as Nagata knew, there should be no connection between the two.

"That's really great." Hearing Nagata Masa's answer, Terada Eikichi clapped his hands and smiled.

"It is said that Shirakawa Kaede, the founder of Shirakawa Electric, also came from Meiji University.

Then we are all on our own, Nagata-san might as well bring this Shirakawa Fengsang to the next meeting, so that we can get to know each other together.

Maybe they can cooperate with each other in business. "

"Terada is right. Young people can't do it alone. It's good for everyone to communicate more."

Hei Bingya Sakaguchi next to him also agreed, and he had heard of that Baichuan Electric recently.

It is said that it is an electrical appliance manufacturer. Since it has a reputation, it must still have strength, and maybe it can get some funds to cooperate with it.

So that's the case, Nagata and Ogawa showed a clear look.

This is looking at that young man, who thinks that as his senior, he can persuade the other party to invest in his family?

Yong Tianzheng didn't know how to evaluate the elder in front of him.

Who can be stupid to achieve such an achievement at a young age?

I don't even look at the business landscape between each other, whether there is a possibility of cooperation.

It seems that this Terada-san is really old-fashioned, or not, and pretends to be old-fashioned on purpose.

If this is the case, Nagata Masa, Ogawa Takeo, and Takei Hirotomo looked at each other in private, and they all knew it.

"Since Terada-san said so, next time I will tell that Bai Chuan-san."

"It's so good." Eikichi Terada narrowed his eyes and nodded in satisfaction.

At this moment, he felt very proud of his decision to organize the exchange meeting.

Look, now that the Terada family needs help, aren't these people in front of them the best choice?

In this Japanese-style room today, the people sitting there all have one thing in common, Meiji University.

That's right, they all graduated from Meiji.

This is the internal communication circle of alumni, but unlike Eikichi Terada's complacency, Masa Nagata and the others have different thoughts.
