Chapter 80 80. We want to cooperate with Sony

July 15, 1991.

Neon Tokyo Minato Minato.

Sony Corporation Headquarters.

Qing Zhiyuan brought engineer Hiroichi Chikawa and copywriter Mika Ishino to visit her.

In the conference room, sitting opposite them were three men in suits and ties.

It's not an exaggeration to say that it's an old man at all.

The name in the middle is Akio Morita. His hair is completely white, his face is covered with wrinkles, thick bags of eyes, and a pair of glasses. His cheekbones look very high and his cheeks are sunken.

This is 70 years old this year and still insists on working at Sony.

Akio Morita is one of the two founders of Sony and is currently the company's president.

Although he is not the president, in fact, many large-scale decisions are made by him.

Another one is Norio Oga. Born in 30 years, he is now over 60 years old. He serves as the general manager of the product department and leads the Sony product design department.

This time, the cooperation with Rentian is a contract signed by Oga Nobuo on behalf of Sony.

The last one is Ken Kutaraki, who was the most exposed during the unilateral tearing of the agreement in Rentian, and was also the initiator of the entire agreement.

Ken Kutaraki, born in 50 years, has dark hair, a broad forehead, and a silly smile on his face.

Ken Kutaraki, 40 years old this year, can be regarded as the mainstay of Sony. If there were no such backstab incident, he would have a great hope of being promoted to a higher management position.

...

The atmosphere in the conference hall was very serious, like a war was about to take place.

Several big men on the opposite side stared at Qing Zhiyuan, as if they were about to swallow him alive in the next second.

Of course, this is just a human illusion.

The copywriter Mika Ishino, who followed Qing Zhiyuan, was so nervous that she was sweating in her palms.

To be honest, this is the first time Mika Ishino has attended such a scary meeting.

If it weren't for Pokeni's failure to recruit suitable biology talents for the time being, she wouldn't have appeared here at all.

When I first heard the president say that I wanted to make a cultivation game that requires biology or entomology planning to take over, Mika Ishino was very resistant.

But after communicating with the president, she realized that it was a false alarm.

Pokemon is simply a pet development game.

Moreover, the image of [Pikachu] drawn by the president is really cute.

The furry and very cute are directly touching Mika Ishino's heart.

This is also the reason why she agreed to take over and create a plan for her.

The only thing I didn't expect was that the president was actually used to negotiate with Sony.

Let’s take a look at Hiroichi Chikawa next to him.

This young man didn't seem to be in much better condition than her. Although it was the hot July, he didn't have as much sweat on his forehead.

"President Qing, can you briefly introduce the content of the proposal?" Akio Morita smiled politely.

To be honest, Akio Morita can be regarded as a strange flower in the neon business world.

Whether it is Rentian's game tyrant Hiroshi Yamauchi or Sega's iron-faced killer Shizuo Nakayama, they are all very deterrent and can force people to tremble.

But Akio Morita will show extraordinary affinity in his interactions, and may even make people feel—

This old man really has a illusion of being considerate of others.

It has to be said that there is a reason why the media have given Akio Morita's extremely high praise.

"OK."

Qing Zhiyuan stood up and said, "This proposal is a cooperation proposal that we have proposed based on the current status of your society and pokeni."

He said, while everyone looked down at the proposal in front of him.

There is a lot of content in the proposal, and a lot of information is attached to the back.

"First of all, I think Sony has the best hardware development capabilities in the industry, and your company's pursuit of excellent quality and perfect performance in product development is really admirable and moving.

I believe that with Sony's capabilities, it has enough strength to develop the next generation of console products.

Even surpassing Ren Heaven.

No, it should be said that he has enough hardware strength to leave Ren Tiantang far behind."

The three people on the other side did not speak, but just nodded silently.

Although Qing Zhiyuan said that there are certain scenes, to some extent, it is also a fact.

At least, Sony still has the strength in hardware.

"This report points out that Sony is indeed very good at hardware, but there is still a lack of opportunity to enter the gaming market."

"The game consists of two parts: game console and cassettes," said Qing Zhiyuan. "We have no doubt about Sony's ability to produce game consoles, but it seems that there is still a partner in terms of game content."

Qing Zhiyuan said nothing wrong.

Sony's previous main business was semiconductor hardware, especially music products.

But in the game field, Sony is really a younger brother.

There is no representative work, only martial arts, but if there is no popular game with enough weight and sales on the machine, then this game console will only become a failed product.

This is also the reason why Sony came to Rentian.

Sony has technology, Nintendo has content.

The combination of the two can be said to be invincible.

To be honest, if the agreement was not torn apart by Ren Tiantang, I don’t know what the future will be like.

There is a high probability that Sony will take advantage of the situation to become Neon, no, it has become the world's largest game manufacturer, right?

Unfortunately, these dreams have now turned into bubbles.

It had to make Akio Morita feel heartbroken.

Qing Zhiyuan obviously hit the other party's pain point.

...

"What kind of help can your company give us?" Akio Morita asked politely.

"Although pokeni is not as good as Rentian and Sega, nor as good as Namco and Square. At least the influence is not as good as them now, we have enough potential and strength."

Qing Zhiyuan took out a videotape on the spot, which was about the video data about the "Onmyoji" series and "Mermaid Heart", so that everyone can have a relatively vivid understanding of pokeni's products.

When you see the game screen played on TV.

Aochigen obviously saw that Ken Kutaraki's eyes lit up.

"To be honest, this game called "Onmyoji" is a work we developed on FC and once won a high score of 39 points from Farmitong."

"What?!"

Everyone was shocked.

Is this actually an effect that can be presented on FC?

At this moment, Ken Kutaraki suddenly remembered-

Yes, this is the rude company that incorporates chips into the cassette to process images and memory.
