Chapter 544 Shrimp Soldiers and Crab Generals
It is not a day or two since Microsoft wants to sell computers, TVs, mobile phones, and produce game consoles. As long as it is a business related to hardware, Microsoft is rare.

The more you lack something, the more you want to make up for it. This is especially true for Microsoft. They dream of entering the hardware industry, but they are helpless. As long as it is the hardware industry, Microsoft has never followed suit.

A few years ago, I wanted to sneak into the computer industry to produce computer hardware, but was rejected by computer manufacturers such as Dell, HP, and Compaq, which made Microsoft feel bad.

Needless to mention the game console business, Bill Gates has shouted openly and secretly for so many years, and he did not know how many times he did it as a show, but in the end he winked at the blind. Nintendo, Sony and even Sega simply ignored him.

This time, Song Yang threw out an olive branch to Microsoft. After Sammy merged with Sega, Xueleshan will cooperate with Microsoft on the mainframe of Sega. He is not afraid that Microsoft will not take the bait.

Xueleshan provides technology, and Microsoft provides a good knife. It is not impossible to even give up part of the equity of Sega mainframe to Microsoft.

When Xueleshan got the Sega console, it still treats it as a game channel, no longer needs to be controlled by others, and the released games can appear on the console platform, which is enough. As for surpassing Sony and Nintendo in terms of console sales, it is not. So important, let Microsoft compete with these two.

It’s no secret that Sammy fired the first shot in the billiard room industry in Japan. Japan is so big, most of the industry is concentrated in Tokyo, and they all live in the same circle. The news is out.

The news that Sammy started to contact Sega is not a small news for the Japanese billiard room and game console industry. No matter how bad Sega is, it is also one of the giants in the Japanese game industry, and its ancestors were once rich.

"Satomiji met Hisao Oguchi?"

At the Nintendo headquarters, Hirao Yokoi, who is in charge of Nintendo's game console business, reported to Hiroshi Yamauchi, the president of Nintendo, and saw the latter coughing a few times with his brows tightly furrowed.

Hiroshi Yamauchi is getting old, and quietly raised his head to see the silver-haired president, Yokoi Hirao suddenly had this idea in his mind, feeling that any day, it seems that a new president is about to change.

Hiroshi Yamauchi, who has been in charge of Nintendo for decades, no matter how powerful and domineering he is, he will inevitably grow old one day.

Hearing the name of the Sammy company, Hiroshi Yamauchi instinctively hated it. The last time, Xueleshan acquired Sammy and entered the Japanese billiard room industry. Hiroshi Yamauchi thought that he could keep Xueleshan out of the Japanese game market.

But who would have thought that Xueleshan would be a cross-river dragon, not only acquiring the Sammy company, but also swaggeringly entering the Japanese billiard room industry. The Japanese Billiard Association and members of parliament did not dare to stop it. Hiroshi Yamauchi knew that, This is because of the American Foreign Affairs Committee, but I still instinctively feel disgusted with Sammy and the Sierra Mountain behind it.

Hiroshi Yamauchi has now banned the cooperation between Nintendo and Sammy, which means that Nintendo's games are not allowed to be installed on Sammy's pinball machines and arcade machines!

"According to our guess, Sega may not be able to hold on anymore, and Sammy is likely to propose an acquisition to Sega. I think Nintendo needs to prepare in advance."

Yokoi Hirao looked at Hiroshi Yamauchi and said, "It's not hard to guess. Sega's current situation can be seen clearly, but life can't go on anymore. Sammy just got a billion dollars from America. This can almost be called the intention of a concubine in love, and the dry fire can be ignited with only one firewood.

Sega's current threat to Nintendo is not that great, but the centipede is dead but not stiff. The ghost knows whether Sega will be resurrected with full blood in the hands of Sammy. Buying Sega, the mortal enemy, whether it is frozen or completely abolished, can avoid future troubles.

Heragun Yokoi felt it was worth the money to solve a threat. Besides, Sega still had something, and Nintendo didn't like the host technology, but the game IP and licenses in Sega's hands were still worth some money.

"Do you think Nintendo is afraid of Sega?"

Hiroshi Yamauchi raised his eyelids, and asked Herajun Yokoi with some disdain, if it was Sony, Hiroshi Yamauchi might think about it, and Hiroshi Yamauchi didn't have any worries about Sega at all.

Yokoi Heragun's eyelids twitched, and he hurriedly lowered his head, "President, I didn't mean that..."

"Go and make an offer to Hisao Koguchi, and tell him that Nintendo is willing to buy Sega!" Hiroshi Yamauchi waved his hand, letting Hirao Yokoi out of the office.

Hisao Oguchi, the president of Sega, can only be regarded as a junior in front of Hiroshi Yamauchi, an old gun. Hiroshi Yamauchi would look up to him if he was replaced by Sega's first generation and second generation members.

After leaving Yamauchi Hiroshi's office, Yokoi Herajun let out a sigh of relief. No matter how old Yamauchi Hiroshi was, Yokoi Herajun always felt frightened when facing him.

Thinking of what Hiroshi Yamauchi explained, Hirao Yokoi had a headache for a while. He also looked down on Sega's current management, the president, the president and the like. Not long after taking office.

But the skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter how low Koguchi Hisao is in Jianghu, he is also the president of Sega. Logically speaking, Hiroshi Yamauchi should have called him personally, but Hiroshi Yamauchi didn't mean to call at all. Heijun Yokoi I feel that with such an attitude, it may not be so easy for Nintendo to take down its sworn enemy Sega.

Nintendo can receive the news, Japan's largest pachinko machine manufacturer, the president of Japan Universal Entertainment Sato Heiichi, the largest pachinko room chain company Maruhan's president Han Changyou, and others, naturally also heard the wind.

This time, the two were not in the mood, and hurriedly met while listening to the geisha's performance in the tea room.

Han Changyou feels the threat now. If Sammy acquires Sega, Han Changyou knows that the next step for Sammy is to start acquiring the pinball operator under the behest of the financial backer, Xue Leshan. This is a sure thing!

"President Sato, you should have heard the news, right?" Han Changyou asked Sato Heiichi pretending to be calm while suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

Sato Heiichi smiled wryly, "Do you still need to inquire about this kind of news? Sega has already released the news."

Sega also planned to shop around, even if they sold themselves, they would still sell it at a good price. The news came out that they wanted to find a few more financial backers to compete with Sammy and then sell it at a high price.

At this time, Sato Heiichi felt relieved. Before, he was always afraid that Sammy would take away the position of Nippon Global Entertainment, the largest Nippon pachinko manufacturer. Now, he didn't need to worry, because Sammy Obviously it wasn't aimed at him, or in other words, it didn't intend to kill him first...

Anyway, it’s not his family’s bad luck, Sato Heiichi is gloating now. Before, he ran around and asked the pinball room association to ban Sammy. As a result, Han Changyou and the other pinball room chains raised prices on the ground and took the opportunity to lower the price of pachinko machines.

Letting the tiger go back to the mountain was finally injured by the tiger. When Japan Benz Global Entertainment was fighting with Sammy, those pachinko game suppliers and pinball room chain stores were all watching the show, thinking about fishing in troubled waters. This is good, Sammy It is obvious that he is going to overthrow the entire billiard room industry, and Sato Heiichi is happy to watch the show at this time.

How could Han Changyou not get out? Sato Heiichi was gloating, but at this moment, he didn't care about anything else. Seeing Sammy approaching every step of the way, he didn't know when it would start, and he was going to attack the billiard parlor chain, even if Maruhan was a Japanese Han Changyou, the largest pachinko room chain store, also felt threatened at this time.

"We have to act. We can't let Sammy buy Sega and tell Sammy and Satomi that he has crossed the line. Otherwise, we will be fighting the fire with salaries, and we will never be able to satisfy the ambitions of Sami and Satomi!"

Han Changyou's eyes were a little fierce, and he was obviously anxious, ready to block the merger between Sammy and Sega.

Sato Heiichi looked at Han Changyou, "President Han, are you planning to rob Sega with Sammy?"

As Japan's largest pachinko room operator, Maruhan's acquisition of Sega also makes sense, as they can obtain the game content of the pachinko machines, and this deal is not a loss.

"If necessary, Maruhan will take action, and President Sato will also join the camp against Sammy. We can't let Sammy break the rules of the billiard room association again!"

Listening to Han Changyou's words, Sato Heiichi said tentatively at this time, "President Han, should we use some special means? I heard that President Han has some friendship with some energetic club presidents. Maybe we can let them come forward and let them come forward." Li Jianzhi knows the difficulty and retreats.”

Those who run a billiard room, if they don't have a group of rogue thugs, I am afraid that the store will be ruined by someone. As a person from a stick background, he can manage the Maruhan brand into Japan's largest billiard room chain company, Han Changyou's Ability need not be mentioned, but the means are not bad, and there are a group of dynamic societies under his hands...

Hearing Sato Heiichi's suggestion that he wanted to frighten Satomiji and make him retreat, Han Changyou hesitated for a moment, a little moved and hesitant.

If the opponent is an ordinary person, Han Changyou has already done this. Anyway, so many people disappear every year in Japan, where do you really think those people have gone?

But putting it on Satomiji, Han Changyou was a little hesitant. First, Satomiji had some status. At this moment, he was suddenly attacked or disappeared, and the first person to suspect him was Han Changyou.

The second is that even if they do it, it may not be so easy to clean up Satomiji. If it is not good, he will be bitten if he fails to fight the tiger.

Xueleshan Japan Benzene Company does not have the influence of Han Changyou in Japan, but it has Heishui Company. Heishui Company has also established a branch in Japan and recruited a large number of big men with round waists and thick arms for training. This group of people was obviously prepared for the billiard room, to prevent anyone who dared to make trouble from appearing.
