“Nintendo demands exclusive collaboration?”

San Jose, when Song Yang heard Ken Williams talking about this, he couldn't help but frown. Song Yang had long known that he had heard about Nintendo's domineering nature, but Yamauchi Hiroshi didn't even discuss it and directly demanded the exclusive rights of Snow Mountain.

The "tyranny" of cooperation was somewhat beyond Song Yang's expectations.

If this was placed in the Internet industry, it would have been attacked by a group of people. Netscape wanted to play an exclusive platform like this before, but now it is almost giving up. But Nintendo dares to make such a request, which also shows Nintendo's strength and confidence.

"The game console market is the platform where Diablo must log in. If it loses the console market, it will probably be a huge loss in sales for Sierra!" said Ken Williams.

Nintendo's attitude is basically that of Japanese game manufacturers. Most of them are resistant to Xueleshan's entry into the Japanese market. Nintendo is particularly obvious and wants Xueleshan to "obey" the rules set by Nintendo.

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

In the current game console industry, Nintendo is indeed the leader, but it is not without rivals. Sony is Nintendo’s most direct competitor. This year it launched its masterpiece PS console. Although its sales in Japan are not as good as Nintendo’s, it has surpassed Nintendo in overseas markets.

.

In addition, there are Sega's Saturn console, and Atari, which is still alive but not dead, has repeatedly jumped between bankruptcy and reorganization, and also launched a game console such as Jaguar, which is competing with Nintendo.

fight.

In addition, there is the Nippon Bandai game console, an emerging game brand in America. The 3do game console was jointly established by Hawkins, the founder of Apple and established EA Games, in conjunction with Panasonic, Telephone and Telegraph Group, Time Warner, Universal, etc.

Platforms etc.

So now, it seems that there are a lot of choices for game console platforms, but in fact, there are not many choices. The most important thing is sales!

"Currently in the console industry, the best-selling ones are Nintendo's N64 and Sony's PS game consoles. Sega's game consoles have no sales at all in overseas markets except Japan. Atari, 3do, and Bandai all have the same problem, and their sales are really

It’s too low, only Nintendo and Sony’s consoles can cover the global market!”

Ken Williams said with some anxiety. Seeing that the announcement of "Diablo" was already in full swing, the release date was coming soon, but the console game platform has not been signed yet. This is really not the case for Sierra.

Good news.

Ken Williams is inclined to cooperate with Nintendo. Nothing else. The performance of Nintendo n64 is more powerful, and it can display the grand scenes of the game, real dynamic light sources and 3D real-time calculation, etc., which can transform the game screen of Diablo into

Fully displayed to players.

But the conditions on Nintendo's side are really harsh. If they want to cooperate with Nintendo, they can only allow "Diablo" to be released on Nintendo consoles, and even the PC version cannot be released, let alone allow Snow Mountain to launch "Siles Mountain Online".

"The game platform is online!

"Talking 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's share. In the future, Xueleshan will also give priority to cooperation with Sony consoles."

Song Yang directly told Ken Williams that since Nintendo and Hiroshi Yamauchi were not willing to cooperate with Snow Leshan, then Snow Leshan would do as he wished.

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

Originally, Song Yang didn't have much interest in the console industry. After all, Xueleshan was about to launch a PC game platform. As long as Xueleshan was online and could reach the level of steam and epic, then Xueleshan would be able to have a powerful enough game.

Game sales channels.

But now Nintendo's attitude towards Xue Leshan made Song Yang feel that Xue Leshan wanted to stay in the game industry. In the game console industry, Xue Leshan also needed a channel. Song Yang suddenly became interested in Sega. If he could

If Sega is taken down, then Sega's game console can make up for the last shortcoming of Sierra!

But these are things for the future. The most important thing at the moment is the release of "Diablo". What this is related to is not the success or failure of a game. It is likely to be related to the entire icq, and even the merger with NBC Group.

, will be affected.

While icq and Sierra were busy releasing "Diablo", there was no peace on the Japanese side. Some people were still making trouble regarding Sierra's acquisition of Samei.

Satomi Haru was across the Pacific Ocean, and Song Yang called, "Song, there are still people here at Nippon Benz who are dissatisfied with the acquisition of Samei. There is news that someone wants to promote Nippon Benz's investigation of this acquisition!"

You don't need to think about it to know that it must be the opponents of Samei Company who are behind the scenes, and there are also other people in the billiard room who are worried that Xueleshan's entry will affect them, so they take the opportunity to cause trouble.

When Song Yang heard Satomiji's words, he couldn't help but let out a breath. He felt that those opponents in Japan were like vicious dogs. If they didn't give them a lesson, they would keep chasing and biting them. Only by beating them up would they be able to hurt them.

Only evil dogs wag their tails and beg for mercy!

"I understand, President Satomi Haru, you don't have to worry about these, you just need to manage the business of Samei and Snow Mountain Nippon Benzene Company!"

After Song Yang put down the phone, he paced back and forth in the room, and then made a few more calls. Song Yang had found so many shareholders, consultants, etc. for Xueleshan Japanese Benzene Company, wasn't it just for this moment?

You can't let these people just get paid for nothing and not work, right?

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

Although I didn’t mention it by name, I just went to Samei Company, but at this juncture, the biggest news in Japan in the near future is undoubtedly the news that Samei Company was acquired by Xueleshan for 86.3 billion yen, and it came out at this time

, it is inevitable that there will be some criticism.

Immediately afterwards, several Japanese media broke the news, "Several Japanese agencies in Tokyo claimed to have received reports against Samei, and subsequently conducted a joint inspection of Samei, and sealed Samei on the grounds of product quality.

A batch of pinball machine equipment worth more than $2.4 million, and a large fine was issued!"

The Japanese pachinko parlor operator was also suddenly exposed to the news that it had terminated its cooperation with Sami and would no longer order pachinko machines from Sami. Even the Nippon Pachinko Chain Association would decide to expel Sami Group.

For a while, Samei Company felt like a storm was about to come.

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

A magazine affiliated with the American Foreign Affairs Committee suddenly claimed in its latest issue that it would protect American companies’ overseas earnings and prevent American companies from being unfairly treated overseas!

After this magazine, an Asia expert employed by the America Foreign Affairs Council said in an interview with the Washington Post, "I have some concerns about markets in some Asian regions. America's investments in Asia are...

Being treated unfairly, I think it is necessary to take special measures when necessary to safeguard America's overseas interests!"

These words were filled with murderous intent. When the magazine and this interview were spread to Japan, people in certain industries in Japan instantly began to sweat on their backs.

Only the next day, the Special Investigation Department of the Japanese District Prosecutor's Office also suddenly announced that it would launch an investigation and prosecution against a Tokyo congressman. This is not a new thing in Japan, but what is special is that this congressman has to separately

One identity is that he is one of the public consultants of the Nippon Pachinko Chain Association, but this time he was pulled into the target by the Nippon District Prosecutor’s Special Investigation Department!

The Pinball Room Chain Association, basically all Japanese pinball rooms, will nominally join this association, and those who can serve as consultants in this association are mostly figures from the Japanese House of Representatives and Senate, with a strong background in Japan, or

A powerful member of Parliament.

But this time, a member of the pachinko parlor chain association was suddenly sued, causing everyone in the pachinko parlor industry to fall silent.

The speech of the American Foreign Affairs Committee and the action of the Special Search Department of the Japan-Benz Prefectural Prosecution Department made it clear that there were still some people who wanted to drive Samei Company and Snow Mountain out of Japan-Benz Company. All of a sudden, they disappeared, and there was no longer any target against Samei.

The company heard that the seized batch of Samei pachinko machines were immediately unsealed, and the fines were revoked. The pachinko machine operators who refused to cooperate with Samei also changed their minds, and Samei's status in the Japanese Pinball Room Chain Association was also changed.

Start rising sharply!

Neither the councilors nor the opponents of Samei Company are taking action against Samei Company. It is hard to say whether they can kill Samei Company. The group of people behind Samei Company are absolutely powerful.

Kill them in various ways, physically...

Without any constraints, Sami began to go on a rampage in Japan. Osamu Satomi and others started to seize the pachinko market in an open and honest manner.

Song Yang didn't pay too much attention to the Japanese benzene market. Now Samei is acting like a fox in Japan. With the amulet of the suzerain country, neither the congressmen nor the opponents in Japan dare to take action against the Samei company.

, if Samei cannot develop, then Song Yang should consider changing to a Japanese benzene agent.

Less than 24 hours before the release date, Snow Mountain publicly announced that it had reached a cooperation with Japanese Sony for the console version of "Diablo" and would log on to Sony's PS console through game discs and cassettes.
Chapter completed!
