The inquiry process was very easy, and Ken Kutaraki did not receive too much questioning. In fact, Sony's previous acquisition of some third-party manufacturers was approved by Noriyo Oga. Because history has changed a lot, Ken Kutaraki had already convinced Noriyo Oga and asked him to say the do-it several years in advance.

After the meeting ended, Ken Kutaraki was flown down alone, and Sony's current president, Dae He Nobuo, obviously had something to ask.

After everyone left, Oga Nobuo looked at Ken Kutaraki, with a curious look on his face and said with a smile: "Kutaraki, in fact, I have always had a question, that is, why do you have such a preference for video games? I remember that you didn't have it before, at least when I first met you, you did not show this preference."

Faced with this question from Oga Nobuo, Ken Kutaraki didn't know how to answer it for a while. When did he become interested in electronic games? This made him fall into memories, which was a memory that he couldn't forget.

In fact, his strong interest in video games really has a lot to do with Nintendo.

"President, this matter has been a long time ago, I need to recall it a little." As he said that, Ken Kutaraki fell into deep thought. It was indeed a long time ago. It has been about six or seven years since now. In less than a minute, Ken Kutaraki seemed to remember this past event and spoke.

"It should be Christmas in 1983. I took my wife and my first two-year-old son to Akihabara and wanted to buy a Christmas gift for my son. At that time, two new products that had just been on the market were displayed side by side on the open display counter on the second floor of the appliance store. One was Nintendo's FC and the other was our MX. At that time, I wanted to buy my son a product from our Sony. I knew how outstanding our Sony products were. However, maybe it was a coincidence that I let my son go and let him choose the one he wanted most as a gift. I originally thought that our product would definitely win because I had great credit for Sony."

"But..." As he said that, Ken Kutaraki paused for a moment, but through the connection auxiliary word he used to connect the next words to say, even Nobuo Oga understood that Ken Kutaraki might not say the next one as he had expected. His son chose Sony's product.

"I saw that my son was watching straight ahead without even thinking about it. He watched with concentration in front of the TV showing the FC game Donkey Kong, huddling with some children about the same age as him or one or two years older than him. They rush to watch it, and then the chirping and excited shouts and applause resounded throughout the store. Even adults like me and myself couldn't help but feel moved by this scene. I didn't hesitate to buy a Nintendo FC console and a game cartridge for my son."

"After that, based on some of my personal interests, I carefully compared and studied the differences between our msx host and Nintendo's FC. After intuitive comparison, I was impressed by the excellent design idea of ​​the FC host. Msx requires 8 dot matrixes to express the graphics. Fc actually only needs 1 dot matrix to achieve it. In terms of appearance design, Fc abandons all unnecessary peripherals, and the small structure can be easily moved by children and ensure durability."

As he said that, Ken Kutaraki laughed. He seemed to have thought of something extremely funny. In the slightly surprised gaze of Oga Nobuo, Ken Kutaraki continued.

"That night, I "occupied" the FC that I originally gave to my son and stayed up all night. The rich entertainment of the two games "Donkey Kong" and "Digital Gold" also touched me a lot. At that time, I felt that the electronic game industry will inevitably become a very large and successful industry in the future because it can bring people joy, and this kind of joy is not different from children or adults."

Ken Kutaraki just finished saying this, Nobuo Oga smiled and took over the conversation, saying, "So, have you firmly determined your idea of ​​engaging in the video game industry? And then convince me?"

"That's not."

To Oga Nobuo surprise, Ken Kutaraki shook his head and denied his statement, while Ken Kutaraki still smiled, "In fact, if it weren't for the incident later, I might not have made me so confident and even changed my original dream. You know, before I was responsible for Nintendo's audio components supply, in June 1984, I participated in the development of VTR digital signal processing devices related to VHS recorders."

"I have some impression of this. I asked Tadari Doi to recommend you to join this development work. You should know that Senior Moritoshi Nohiko from Akigi Factory at that time admired you very much." Oga Nobuo nodded when he heard Ken Kutaraki talk about this.

"Yes, as the president you said, my boss Tadari Doi recommended me to go to the intelligence processing institute located in Akigi Workshop to visit my senior Masahiko Morizo. Morizo, who was then the vice president of Sony, was a pioneer in the development of broadcast equipment in Japan. The development team under his leadership is known as the "Morizo ​​Legion". Not only is it known as the strongest lineup in Sony, but even looking at the entire Japanese industry, you know..."

As he said that, Ken Kutaraki smiled: "I was famous for being rebellious in the company because of my youth and recklessness. It was very similar to Morizo's young age. Therefore, Morizo's senior was very interested in me, and we also hit it off at first sight. When the visit ended, Morizo's senior specially asked Hirobu Yoshida, the director of the Intelligence Processing Research Institute, to lead me to visit the secret research results. You know, at that time, the research topics of Morizo's senior were top secrets in the company, and they were not qualified to contact them without being qualified to contact them. When I had this opportunity, my excitement was indescribable."

Speaking of this, Ken Kutaraki showed an excited look on his face, and there was also a look of nostalgia mixed in his excited expression.

"I remember what Senior Morizo ​​said to me at that time. I could easily see the indescribable pride from his senior's expression. Yes, I have never seen that expression on anyone's face again. He told me at that time, Kutaraki, this is a very rare opportunity. Many employees will find it difficult to see once in their lives! You must be very rare!"

"It was this visit that completely changed your dreams or beliefs?" Oga Nobuo asked immediately.

Ken Kutaraki didn't talk nonsense and admitted directly: "Yes, it was precisely because of the opportunity given to me by senior Morizo ​​at that time... During that temporary visit, there was a realistic three-dimensional avatar in the screen in front of me. It could be expanded and reduced freely, and could be deformed at will, sometimes rotating or rolling, and sometimes merged with the surrounding three-dimensional scenery... Such visual impact was something I had never encountered in my life. I was deeply shocked and couldn't speak for a long time."

"When I came back to my senses from my astonishment and shock, the only sentence I said was repeated on both sides in an incredible tone. Is this actually true?"

Ken Kutaraki smiled embarrassedly when he talked about the embarrassing thing he visited, but from his smile, he obviously regarded this as one of the most proud deeds in his own words: "At that time, Hirobuki Yoshida said to me in the most proud tone he had ever seen. His tone I can still describe his unquestionable firmness when I think about it. He said that this system code-named "system-g" is a DSP digital signal processing device, which is the latest research result of Sony Akigi Development Base's secret research on 3D data compression technology and the most advanced technology of the work. It was in a very leading position in the world at that time!"

"Actually, I didn't remember what Yoshida Hirobuki said in my mind at that time. He was talking about his, and I was just thinking about mine. The only idea in my mind at that time, if I could organically combine the design concepts of FC and System G, what a great commercial product would it create!"

Speaking of this, Ken Kutaraki looked extremely excited. His eyes were looking at him with a sensual look before, and he was listening quietly. He interjected a few words from time to time and said in a more serious and firm tone: "President, it is useless to rely on do-it alone. I need your authorization to give me the right to form Sony computer entertainment!"

Hearing Ken Kutaraki's words, Nobuo Oga became silent first. Ken Kutaraki had proposed to him more than once that only by establishing a specific department specifically responsible for this can Sony concentrate its strongest strength and devote itself to it. Only by establishing Sony Computer Entertainment, not like this, relying on a temporary department.

However, to make such a decision, adding a new department within Sony cannot be decided by just one sentence. Although he is the current president of Sony, he is only the president. He does not have the ability to make a decision in one sentence at the beginning, and even Akio Morita ended up losing in the matchup with the board of directors.

"I'll think about it again."
