Game Development Giant

What I mean is very simple. Are you really satisfied with your current situation? When Suzuki Yu said this in a cold tone, the whole audience changed.

Everyone present had their throats surging. They seemed to want to stand up to say a few words or explain something, but when they saw Suzuki Yu's face without any expression, no one could Everyone flinched when his determined look could be seen.

Only by changing, and only by doing something that others can't think of, can't do, can we restore our weakness in the market!

Change, must change!

We can't just closely follow each other and chase behind our enemies. We, Sega, must also let others catch up and learn. Or, do you really have no idea about the position of Mars Entertainment? The next generation change is an opportunity for any game company.

Suzuki Yu's eyes shone with a strange light, and something called excitement or ambition was brewing in his derivation.

Sega's senior executives suddenly fell silent.

Change, beyond Mars Entertainment, these are what they long for, but is it really as simple as Yu Suzuki said? Moreover, there is Sony Computer Entertainment, which is constantly accumulating strength, hiding in the dark, looking for opportunities at any time, and wants to take advantage of the situation.

How could these things be accomplished so simply by just a few words from Yuu Suzuki?

Suzuki Yu saw that everyone was a little moved, but no one came out to express their position. Even Nakayama Hayao, who had always supported him, was frowning, as if he was thinking about some difficult issue.

A look of determination flashed in his eyes.

I can vouch for this with my future at Sega, just like I was doing my best to develop Sega Rally. If my proposal does not achieve results that satisfy you, then I will leave Sega.

Suzuki Yu said this categorically.

Suddenly. There was a commotion in the venue. You know, Suzuki Yuko is one of the future successors of Hayao Nakayama. Even after Hayao Nakayama retires in the future, he will not be able to become the chairman of the board of directors and president of Sega, so a vice president. Chief, the most important position of being in charge of game development is definitely not available.

After all, he is now the head of Sega's software development headquarters.

Even Nakayama Hayao looked at Yu Suzuki in surprise, but no one present spoke first. It was Nakayama Hayao who took a deep breath: Suzuki, don't say such angry words. You are Sega's most valuable talent. You are the most indispensable to Sega in the past, Sega now, and Sega in the future. , how can you say these words without thinking, and then make such a decision without thinking about it. How do you ask me to entrust you with more important tasks in the future?

Hearing what Nakayama Hayao said, Suzuki Yuya was very moved. He wanted to say a few words, but Nakayama Hayao just waved his hand.

Forget it. I have thought about your proposal very carefully when you mentioned it a few days ago. You said a lot. We at Sega really need to make some changes. We can't see others Whatever you do. We do it.”

As he spoke, Nakayama Hayao looked around at everyone present seriously, and then expressed his decision in a tone that left no room for doubt.

I agree with Yu Suzuki's proposal. In the development of our upcoming next-generation console, in addition to focusing on 3D imaging, more importantly, we must add network communication functions.

Seeing Nakayama Hayao all make a decision, the people present also made their own decisions.

The great success of Jester's Quake on the PC has proved that the future development trend of 3D games has actually proved one more point, that is, the charm of online play. In fact, in my opinion, The most valuable thing for us to learn from Quake is the way it uses in this game to connect different players in one game through the local area network for confrontation, and I think this is also The future trend, so I also agree with Suzuki Yu’s suggestion.”

The person who spoke was an important vice president within Sega. He was one of the few people in Sega's senior management whose influence was second only to Hayao Nakayama.

Everyone saw that since the most important people in the company agreed to Suzuki Yu's proposal, their objections were of little value. Moreover, for them, agreeing to Suzuki Yu's suggestion was not a bad thing. In fact, in From their perspective, whether they agree or disagree, it doesn't matter.

Three days later.

In a hotel, Jester met Larry Ellison, who had just arrived in Japan.

It can be said that Larry Ellison arrived in a very hurry. Wilder's eyes were red and full of blood, and his face showed exhaustion that could not be concealed in any way. The look in his eyes when he looked at Jester had a hint of caution and a hint of difficulty. Perceived fear.

He remembered what Jester had threatened him with before.

He asked his good friend, Old Sean, who had previously served as an ace agent in the FBI and had solved many major cases that shocked the country before he retired, to investigate the cronies he suspected.

Unfortunately, the results of the investigation disappointed him.

The result that Old Sean told him was that none of them had any problems.

However, he still couldn't figure it out anyway, because he and his cronies were the only ones who knew these secrets. Since there could be no problem between himself and those cronies, where did Jester know it?

Every time he thought about this, he always felt like there was a big net around him, wrapping him up hard.

He would even have the illusion that everything he does all the time is being monitored. Otherwise, he really couldn't understand why the young man in front of him would hide the deepest feelings about him in his heart. The secret is so clear.

How did you know?

As soon as they met, Larry Ellison lowered his voice and asked this question. In Jester's eyes, he was like a hyena on the African savanna, roaring unwillingly after being robbed of food by a lion.

hehe.

Jester just chuckled. He did not answer directly, but asked the other party: With all due respect, Mr. Larry Ellison, you are a smart man, you might as well make it between the two of us. Think about it for a moment, if, I’m just saying if, you were in my position, and I was in your position, and asked this question, how would you answer?”

Hearing Jester's rhetorical question, Larry Ellison's eyes flashed with an angry look.

He took a deep look at Jester, his throat surged, and he seemed to want to say something, but something else suddenly came to his mind, and he swallowed the words that had reached his tongue again.

His voice was deep and a little hoarse.

You are right, Mr. Jester Li, you are right.

He repeated the sentence twice, word for word, and then he continued: I have thought carefully about what you said before about your intention to invest in financing for Oracle, but this is not just for me. People can make decisions, and I have no intention of holding on to my Oracle shares.

When he spoke, he kept looking straight at Jester, as if he wanted to see something different on Jester's face.

But it's a pity that from beginning to end, the expression on Jester's face was that of a very indifferent smile.

After waiting for Larry Ellison to finish speaking, Jester looked at Larry Ellison with some fun, licked his lips, and then said: It's this time, we are all sitting face to face, la Mr. Ellison, why are you still telling me these things, just to confuse those who don’t understand the situation?”

Hearing what Jester said, Larry Ellison's expression changed slightly, but in just a moment, his expression returned to normal.

He just said in a very calm tone: What I said is the truth.

hehe.

Jester chuckled again. He picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip. Then he replied in a nonchalant tone: The truth doesn't mean it's not a secret. I know you plan to do something with JP Morgan now. You are taking advantage of Morgan Stanley's lack of understanding of your industry and setting a trap for them. You just want to use a desperate method to make Morgan Stanley give up its optimism about Oracle, and then let them sell it. Get rid of the shares they hold.

He had already been prepared in his heart, so when Larry Ellison heard what Jester said, his eyes only flickered, but his expression didn't change much.

I said I wanted the shares that Morgan Stanley gave up.

This is impossible. Just after Jester finished speaking, Larry Ellison expressed his decision in a decisive tone.

He looked at Jester and said word by word: Mr. Li, since you have seen the purpose of my doing this, you should know why I did this. I know your experience in starting up. Real, geniuses in the video game industry, you never have to worry about the VC stuff.”

As he spoke, his tone couldn't help but rise a bit.

But I am different. When Oracle was first founded, I got venture capital. For a small company, this is a good thing, but for an ambitious company, especially for an experienced person, For ambitious entrepreneurs, this is a collar, a collar around the neck. (To be continued...)
