Game Development Giant

Arakawa Minoru didn't like this feeling. He had never felt so aggrieved since leaving school to engage in business.

Faced with this sudden crisis of trust, his teachers and seniors had taught him countless times when he was in school and at work. What he needed to do most was to make people trust you again, and to make others If people trust you again, then turning yourself into a vulnerable party to gain sympathy is the best choice.

But now Arakawa really doesn't need to think about how to turn himself into the weak side, because he is already the weak side.

Therefore, Minoru Arakawa held this press conference as soon as he finished the mid-level meeting. The media in any country has a good conduct. Soon after the news of Minoru Arakawa's press conference was released, it was collected. We heard from many media outlets and they all expressed interest in participating.

Facing the spears and cannons in front of him, Arakawa felt an emotion of disgust for no reason, but he could not vent his emotions and could only forcefully put on a slightly stiff smile on his face.

"I sincerely apologize for my previous wrong remarks in public that our company's FC game console is the best game console in the world." At the beginning of the press conference, Minoru Arakawa stood up and said deeply Bowing is something Americans have become accustomed to. At first, they thought that bowing was a Japanese way of expressing apology, but after more exposure, they realized that it was not that simple.

For the Japanese, if he bows to you like this for no reason, it must not only be an expression of apology, but must also have ulterior motives.

These experienced American media are also very familiar with this, so when Minoru Arakawa bowed, they also lifted their spirits while pressing the shutter. They knew that after bowing and apologizing. Minoru Arakawa will definitely take other measures.

Sure enough, a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun was the first to be named.

"President Minoru Arakawa, are you willing to let go of the incident that caused Nintendo to sue Mars Entertainment for copyright infringement due to your slip of the tongue?" The Asahi Shimbun reporter's words were obviously carefully considered. , which is almost invisible in the eyes of these American reporters who are extremely familiar with words.

For example, a provocation is described as a slip of the tongue, an infringement that has not yet been determined is described as one that has been determined, etc.

However, these American reporters were too lazy to worry about these ambiguous statements. They were interested in Arakawa Minoru's answer, even though this answer was obviously arranged just before this press conference. Arakawa Minoru smiled at first, but there was no trace of anger on his face. If I hadn't seen him lose control of his emotions twice before because of this incident, and wanted to kill Jester quickly, then I would definitely not be able to feel the previous violent emotions from the smile on his face now.

"I have had contact with Mr. Jester Li of Mars Entertainment before. Although we have no intention of cooperation, we have established a good personal friendship. The official letter sent to Mars Entertainment belongs to the company. Decided to crack the decoding method of our hardware at will without our authorization, and make simulators based on the cracked decoding method. This is an infringement that cannot be clear from the facts. This is also our company's bottom line and position .”

Arakawa Minoru said something serious and official, and then his tone suddenly changed.

"However, we still handled this incident with a friendly attitude. Our views on this are completely consistent with those at the beginning. We do not want to go to court over such a trivial matter. As long as Mars Entertainment officially reports to us about the simulator incident, If you apologize and promise not to engage in such infringement again, we at Nintendo will never pursue any further action.”…

When Minoru Arakawa held this press conference. It is already the end of the CES show. Jester's company can be said to be a great success at this CES show, for Mars Entertainment and Fengxing Distribution. The most important thing is to reach a cooperation agreement with Walmart, the largest supermarket chain giant in the United States.

After the Dreambox is officially released, Walmart will release it at the same time.

This is a landmark event for Fengxing Publishing and Mars Entertainment. It not only expands their sales channels ten times or dozens of times, but most importantly, this is the official release of home electronic game consoles. A sign of returning to the mainstream.

You must know that just half a year ago, large shopping malls like Wal-Mart were still selling off their backlog of Atari game consoles at a 100% discount. At the end of the year and Christmas, Atari returned to the video game industry and launched Walmart refused to sell the Atari 7200 game console.

And this time, at the CES exhibition, Jester's Dreambox game console attracted much attention. Not only was it selected as the best exhibit, but Mars Entertainment also had the largest number of visitors during the three-day CES exhibition. Among the top three exhibitors.

The two companies higher than them are IBM, the blue giant that formulated the rules for PCs, and Sony, which has been in the limelight in recent years because of the launch of Walkman.

This obviously also gives Wal-Mart great confidence to be optimistic about the home game console industry again.

In a coffee shop at the hotel where Mars Entertainment stayed, Jester sat across from Elizabeth Winnie, the beautiful reporter from Newsweek who had met at his press conference.

This beautiful reporter is wearing a beige professional outfit today, with long golden hair tied behind her head, and a little light makeup on her fair skin. Because she is so close, Jester can clearly see her face. The skin is very delicate, not at all rough like the average European and American women.

Before leaving, Jester also saw the report of the press conference held by Minoru Arakawa. He sneered and quickly glanced at the newspaper in his hand, then rolled the newspaper into a ball and held the newspaper in one hand. one end, and the other end tapped the other free palm.

"Miss Elizabeth, please drink coffee."

Just at this time, the waiter brought two cups of steaming coffee, and Jester made a gesture of invitation.

Elizabeth Winnie looked at Jester seriously, and then said with a smile: "First of all, thank you very much for accepting my interview." After a pause, her tone became Somewhat confused, "Actually, I'm very curious. My questioning of you at previous press conferences has made you unhappy, but why did you still agree to accept my request for this interview?"

"this problem……"

Jester frowned and hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"In fact, after accepting an exclusive interview with Mr. Jerome of ABC TV, I have already expressed that I will not accept interviews with other media, but sometimes, ideas must compromise with reality. When we are developing games I often encounter this kind of thing, and the effect has to succumb to the hardware. I think I should express my views on what Mr. Arakawa Minoru said before that involves myself and my Mars Entertainment Company, and you are also in my After the press conference, he was the first to write an article to support me."

"So you agreed to my interview when I had already booked a flight back to New York and was packing my luggage, so that I had to book a new flight ticket?" Elizabeth raised her eyebrows, slightly angry. He said something playfully.

It was the first time Jester had heard about this matter, so he had an embarrassed look on his face, and then he smiled dryly and expressed his apology: "Miss Elizabeth, this is my company's negligence, yours I will book the air ticket for you, please don’t worry about it.”…

"Haha." Elizabeth Winnie laughed happily a few times after hearing this, then shrugged her shoulders and replied nonchalantly, "Actually, you don't have to worry about it, I already made a new order before I came here. ”

The two chatted for a few more words. When the atmosphere was about the same, Elizabeth put down the coffee in her hand, stretched out her hand to gather her hair slightly, and asked in a tentative tone: "Mr. Li, our interview is about to begin. Can we start?"

"Actually, Miss Elizabeth, instead of treating this private meeting with you as an interview, it is better to treat it as a simple conversation, because I just want to express my thoughts about Minoru Arakawa's press conference. It’s just my opinion, I don’t want to talk about too many other things.”

Jester faced the beautiful reporter from Newsweek he invited and spoke simply and directly.

Elizabeth Winnie was a little angry about Jester's statement. She is a gold medal reporter for "Newsweek", the largest magazine in North America. She has the right to publish columns in it, but it is not what you see. A microphone inside.

But just as she was about to get angry, she thought that Jester Li was indeed someone she wanted to know before. She really wanted to know how a young man under the age of twenty had managed to do so in such a short period of time. To create such a big business, in fact, this is not only her curiosity, but also the curiosity of most people.

Because she knows that no one can succeed for no reason.

"So, do you want to express your opinion on Nintendo's previous apology and statement?". After temporarily suppressing the thoughts in her heart, Elizabeth asked.

"His apology does not actually require asking me for my opinion, because I made it very clear in the interview with Jerome before. I don't care about the boring saying who is more powerful. What I care about is who The game is better, but the difference between the two is that the functions are objectively comparable. Just compare whether it is good or not. However, whether the game is fun or not can only be subjective. Everyone has a different answer in their mind. Therefore, the reason why I He would do that at the press conference, but what I care about is that he deceives players who want to buy home game consoles."

Jester spoke righteously when he said this, but in Elizabeth's eyes, if he said that using an emulator to trick Nintendo wasn't something he had already prepared for, she wouldn't believe it even if he killed her. He had known about it before and wanted to To complete the fc simulator, it will take at least half a year for a professional team and at least millions of dollars in research and development expenses.
