631 [Let the devil be convinced]
I'm living just to make Nintendo uncomfortable!
In the Sega Company building in Shinagawa, Tokyo, Japan, Kang Jianfei finally met Shin-san Hayao who said this.
The short man was just as tall as Kang Jianfei's chin, with a hairstyle similar to that of a certain head of state, and a straight suit, he looked very energetic and fighting spirit.
Nowadays, Kang Jianfei holds 80% of the shares of the entire Japanese Sega Company, while Nakayama Hayao, as the company's president, only has the remaining 20%.
After knowing that Kang Jianfei was coming today, except for not being able to leave his post, Shinto Nakayama took all the employees of the company to the ground floor hall of the headquarters building to welcome the boss.
"Kang Sang, I have long admired Daming! I'm meeting for the first time, please give me some advice." As if I was holding a memorial service to express my grief to the dead, I bowed 90 degrees to Kang Jianfei.
"Hello, President Zhongshan, I have long admired you. Sega Company has developed very quickly under your leadership." Kang Jianfei shook hands with Shirooshi Zhongshan with a smile.
Before Kang Jianfei traveled through time, his childhood experience helped him develop a pair of vicious eyes. Just looking at the look of Shizuo Nakayama, you know that this is not a guy who is willing to surrender.
In another time and space, Shirao Nakayama was originally just a senior executive of Sega. Taking advantage of the collapse of the US game industry, he joined forces with several Japanese businesses to acquire Sega's industry in Japan. In the next few years, he joined forces with the CSK consortium to eat up the company's shares in the hands of several previous partners, and finally took full control of Sega.
Such a person has only acquired 20% of David Rosen's shares because of the butterfly effect. Is he willing to work for Kang Jianfei for the rest of his life?
Kang Jianfei had not met with Shinzo Nakayama. He had already done two things to show his favor to the other party: one is that the company's internal management remains unchanged, and Shinzo Nakayama still lets Shinzo Nakayama operate and manage the company; the other is to add additional investment to the company's development of 16-bit game consoles, and do not dilute the shares in Shinzo Nakayama's hands after additional investment.
For people like Shinzo Nakayama, it is no longer important to hold a company's shares. It is important to be able to control the company and let the company operate and develop according to his ideas and ideas.
In another time and space, after Nakayama Hayao cooperated with the CSK consortium, his shares were not as good as CSK. However, because he could fully control the company, his cooperation with CSK was very harmonious and pleasant.
Like Alibaba later, Mr. Ma personally held less than 10%, but he was the real controller of the company.
It was precisely because Kang Jianfei made two good moves that Nakayama Hayao reciprocates and leads all the company's employees to welcome Kang Jianfei. This is his expression of kindness to Kang Jianfei.
Kang Jianfei glanced at the Sega employees behind Shizuo Nakayama. They were all energetic and their confidence was very infectious. This was the unique spirit of the Japanese in the 1980s, which was completely different from the Japanese after 2000.
Kang Jianfei also had contact with some Japanese people before traveling through time. It was nonsense to say that Japanese people were workaholics, and they stayed in the company one by one to work hard. What can you do in half a day be so bad that you can work overtime until the night, and even if the work is completed, the leader will stay with you if the employee does not leave.
As for those Japanese who came to China to do business, their superiors were very diligent when they were there, and they were busy with each other like grandsons. When the superiors returned to Japan, they became great men, all of them were free and easy. They didn't care much at all.
Whether the national economy is prosperous or not can definitely affect the spiritual outlook of a country's people, and the Chinese in the future will become more and more confident and generous. At this moment, the Japanese in front of Kang Jianfei are at the moment when they are most energetic, and they are all full of energy. Businessmen are clamoring to "buy the entire United States", and politicians are clamoring to "Japan can say no."
All of this will disappear at some point in the future, and the confident Japanese will be sent from heaven to hell.
After welcoming Kang Jianfei, most of the employees returned to their positions, and only a small number followed Nakayama Hayao and accompanied Kang Jianfei to inspect the entire company.
Kang Jianfei first followed Shinto Nakayama to visit the company, and then came to a showroom, which was filled with Sega's representative products over the years.
Sega is an old company, dating back to the era of David Rosen, and has a history of nearly 50 years. In the showroom, from the old coin jukebox, slot machines, pinball platforms, quick photo booths (first-generation big-headed stickers), to the new arcades in recent years, 8-bit home game consoles, laser disc game consoles, and more than a dozen electronic games developed by Sega, it is completely a condensed history of the development of electronic games.
After visiting the showroom, Shirooka Nakayama brought Kang Jianfei to the company's R&D department, which is the focus today.
Shiroozuo Nakayama picked up a game console and said, "This is a trial version of the 16-bit home computer developed by our company. The sound problem has been solved, but the image color still has some flaws."
The game console that appeared in front of Kang Jianfei was no different from a home computer that was popular in later generations. After plugging in the game cassette link TV, the game screen was a little dim and the tone looked uncomfortable. It seems that there are indeed some problems in imaging that need to be solved.
Nowadays, home gaming consoles all over the world are 8-bit. If the 16-bit gaming console is successfully launched, it will definitely cause a huge sensation and will regain a large amount of red and white gaming market share from Nintendo.
In another time and space, Nintendo's 8-bit red and white phones occupy the huge market for home game consoles around the world. This big situation has made Nintendo not rush to develop 16-bit phones. As a result, Sega took advantage of Nintendo's carelessness and launched 16-bit phones and snatched the market. In a short period of time, it became the world's second largest game console manufacturer after Nintendo.
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "Although I don't understand technology, I believe that the President of Zhongshan will definitely be able to provide technical difficulties in customer service."
"I will do my best!" Shiroozuo Nakayama suddenly bowed to Kang Jianfei very seriously.
"I brought a gift to the President of Zhongshan today." Kang Jianfei waved to Liu Fei, who immediately opened the suitcase and took out the file bags and handed them to Yang Liqing. Yang Liqing held the manuscript and handed it to Kang Jianfei's hand.
Since Kang Jianfei's several private secretaries and assistants did not come to Japan, Yang Liqing also played a guest role as a private secretary this time.
Shiroozuo Nakayama's eyes stayed on Yang Liqing for less than a second, and his attention turned to the file bag in Kang Jianfei's hand and said, "I'm looking forward to Mr. Kang's gift."
Kang Jianfei took out the file bag, took out a stack of manuscripts, and handed them to Shinzo Nakayama and said, "President Zhongshan, please check it out."
"The_king_of_fighters" "The King of Fighting," Nakayama Shizuo opened the manuscript and the first thing he saw was a title, followed by a summary of the content. "In 19xx, martial artists from all over the world received an invitation card from the author R, with the purpose of inviting fighters from various countries to attend the fighting conference held by him. Among them, there was a young Kusanagi Kyo, the descendant of Kusanagi's ancient martial arts who had been able to manipulate flames since childhood. With years of understanding, he was able to defeat his father Kusanagi Shibasu and become the most powerful heir in the family. After receiving the invitation, Kyo, who was competitive, formed a team with his friends, including Nikaido Hongmaru, who loves to show off, and Judo Olympic gold medalist Goro Omen, to compete in the conference..."
At first, Shizuo Nakayama didn't understand what was going on. Even after seeing the character picture of the game characters, he thought it was a comic created by Kang Jianfei. However, when the game characters' move settings appeared, Shizuo Nakayama instantly came over.
"Mr. Kang is ready to develop a fighting game?" asked Shikio Nakayama.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "With this idea, these are the game planning I did, and some character settings."
Although Shirooka Nakayama is very capable, he is not a time traveler after all. He said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Kang, although Kung Fu games have become popular in a small range after "Street Fighter" was launched last year, this type of game may not be a big market."
At this time, even the concept of fighting games had not yet been formed. Many people regard it as a branch under sports games. Even because Nintendo transplanted "Kung Fu" to a home machine, he directly called fighting games a kung Fu game.
The so-called basic elements such as combos, energy storage, and teaming in the future are not yet appearing or are not mature at this time, and there are also some problems with the balance of the game. Therefore, although the appearance of "Street Fighter" last year is refreshing, it has not brought much profit. For small companies, "Street Fighter" has made a lot of money, but for Sega, who aims to surpass Nintendo, developing fighting games is a waste of time.
When Kang Jianfei was writing game planning, he also had a basic understanding of the current fighting games, so he wrote all the elements that any player who had been exposed to fighting games in his later generations into the planning book.
"President Zhongshan, I call this kind of game of fist or sword fighting, fighting a fight," Kang Jianfei said. "I think there are many broad prospects for fighting games. Action movies have always been one of the main types of movies in the world. Whether men or women, they have the desire to be a hero to save the world or become a strong man. At present, the most important factor restricting the development of fighting games is the extremely unbalance between the characters and moves of fighting games, which reduces the playability of the game. Look at the settings I have added..."
Shinto Nakayama's attitude towards Kang Jianfei has always been limited in respect. After all, Kang Jianfei is the company's major shareholder and he said he does not interfere in the company's business management, and he also makes additional investments free of charge. Such a funder will respect him no matter who he operates.
But it's just respect. Shinto Nakayama does not think that Kang Jianfei has any talent and vision in the development of the game company, so he doesn't care about Kang Jianfei's views.
However, after Nakayama Hayao carefully read Kang Jianfei's game plan out of courtesy, he immediately realized the development prospects of fighting games, and then bowed straight 90 degrees: "Mr. Kang, your idea is very exciting and operational. I retracted my previous wrong view on fighting games."
"I just put forward some immature ideas. How to make the game specifically requires the help of President Zhongshan." Kang Jianfei smiled politely, but he was cursing in his heart: I'll go, you Japanese devil, I've bowed three times today, I really treat me as my ancestor.
After watching the game settings, Shikazuo Nakayama went to see the character design. Each character has three shapes: front, side and back. There are even color pictures of their moves, and then the characters' names, age, origin, personality, etc.
Among these characters of Kang Jianfei, some basic characters are the same as the original "King of Fighters", but many Chinese fighters have been added. Among these Chinese fighters, there are secret masters from the mainland, apprentices from boxing gyms from Europe and the United States, and kung fu stars from Hong Kong. One of them is designed according to Bruce Lee. After the game is made, an authorization agreement must be reached with Bruce Lee's family.
There are more and more reductions. Some characters in the original "King of Fighters" come from "Street Fighters". Kang Jianfei deleted all the fighters from "Street Fighters 1" or changed their appearance names to avoid copyright disputes in the future.
After watching it for more than half an hour, Shiroozuo of Nakayama carefully read the character information of "The King of Fighters" and exclaimed: "Mr. Kang, you are simply a game planning and design genius. Compared with your planning plan, Capcom's "The King of Fighters" is simply a game in a kindergarten. You have already done all the stories and characters. Such rich and perfect characters and story settings require a game team to complete at least half a year."
Kang Jianfei also said: "I hope the game screen can be as brilliant as possible. It would be better if it can be 3D. If it cannot be 3D, the cartoon image can be also available."
"Although it is a bit difficult, I will try my best to overcome it," said Nakayama Shirao, admiringly. "With this game information from Mr. Kang, the research and development of this fighting game only needs to be completed in technology and data. I think the prototype will be seen in at most half a year, and after a period of adjustment and improvement, it may be released at the end of the year."
Kang Jianfei smiled and said, "At that time, I will publish a set of comics in Japan and Hong Kong, the name is "The King of Fighting", and there will be a live-action movie of this game in the future."
After hearing this, Shikao Nakayama's eyes glowed. If Kang Jianfei could make a movie himself, this would be a great help to the promotion of the King of Fighters game in Asia. He flattered: "Mr. Kang, you can take over Sega. This is the honor of Sega and myself. I believe that Sega will develop more smoothly with your help."
Chapter completed!
