Chapter 1 The end of the old, the beginning of a new chapter]
"We failed?"
“We failed.”
The Nintendo conference room seemed to be filled with a heavy cloud of sorrow. Everyone's faces were not good-looking.
From Junhei Yokoi to the younger brother who was responsible for pouring water, everyone's face was as heavy as a thousand pounds.
Yamauchi Hiroshi sat on the president's throne without saying a word, pondering something.
Time left more and more traces on his face, and his originally gray hair is now completely white.
He looked at the following people who were almost all young people who were promoted by him, and felt that he needed to speak.
"Cough cough...cough cough..." He coughed twice, "This time we failed. We have to admit failure. I don't know the name of the company that you still can't remember. What is the name of the company? Nintendo! Do your best to do your best to be loyal to you.
This failure may be God's will...
GAMEBOY's sales have been greatly surpassed by tens of thousands of households, and that doesn't matter. We also have red and white machines and super red and white machines. I hope everyone can continue to work hard.
The meeting ended."
—————
In contrast to Nintendo's solemn atmosphere, there is a joyful atmosphere inside Wanhu.
Although the single sales of "Brain Training" did not increase the sales of GG handheld consoles of Wanhu's GG handheld consoles by three million units at once, it made the total sales of GG handheld consoles in Japan exceeded the five million mark.
What does a sales of five million mean?
Perhaps it would be a bit insignificant for the future when a mobile phone manufacturer can ship tens of millions of units a year.
However, now is not the future. A single device can have such a high number of ownership. As long as ten thousand households do not make continuous decisions that are stupid, ten thousand households' GG handheld machine will be the winner.
When the news of Wanhu won the win came back to Wanhu China.
Almost no organization was organized, and every household was decorated with lights. Not only were ten thousand households busy, but the people outside were busy because of ten thousand households.
Its popularity seems to be more than the New Year.
It was in a daze.
The reason why everyone is so happy is that although everyone works in Wanhu, they all know that Wanhu is a very powerful company. Provincial and municipal leaders pay great attention to Wanhu.
However, in the years of publicity of opening the country, everyone has always felt that everywhere abroad is better than domestic.
The best country in the world is the United States, and Japan is under the United States.
In the past, everyone thought that the reason why Wanhu was so popular was because Wanhu was a Japanese company.
When everyone knew that Wanhu was a Chinese enterprise, everyone thought that the reason why Wanhu attracted attention was that it was a company that returned from Japan.
But today, it was not until Wanhu's sales of "Brain Training" exceeded three million sets, and when Wanhu's GG handheld machine achieved victory in the handheld machine war, everyone knew that Wanhu was really so powerful. He could already win the first place in Japan in a certain field.
You should know that Japan is already a kingdom of gods for most Chinese people of this era.
And he has won the first place in the Kingdom of God, and is the most powerful.
Ten thousand households who had been suppressed for a long time finally ushered in an emotional outbreak.
Because foreign goods can be purchased directly in the welfare club of Wanhu, everyone asked to buy a copy of "Brain Exercise" as a collection.
Although the children don’t know why the adults are so happy, they are also very happy to be able to play with the GG handheld.
So, thousands of households entered a celebration like the New Year.
Russian experts working in Wanhu China were very happy to see Wanhu so powerful.
However, the Japanese employees who followed Takahashi to Wanhu China were quite interesting, and they also celebrated happily, as if they were no different from the Chinese in Wanhu China.
It’s not that they don’t know why their colleagues are so happy, but they chose Wanhu and followed Takahashi, just like Takahashi’s retainers. They no longer know what a country is.
Takahashi also found this phenomenon quite strange.
However, now is not the time to think about these trivial matters.
Just when "Brain Training" achieved more than three million sales, he made a decision.
Leave thousands of households and find a new life.
Put down the heavy burden of thousands of households and pursue the true player's heart with a light attitude.
"Hey? Is it uncle? I have something to say to you!"
"What? Do you want to divide all the shares of Wanhu?"
The uncle stood in front of Takahashi, looking shocked.
"What the hell is wrong?" Uncle asked Takahashi.
"It's okay." Takahashi said, "just leave for a while."
"No need to leave..."
"Uncle..." Takahashi shouted during silence.
"What's wrong?"
"Do you remember our days in Japan?"
"Of course I remember."
"I thought about it carefully. The establishment of ten thousand households relies on the efforts of everyone. It is not something I can do alone. Therefore, I think it is not the right thing to hold all the shares in my hands. Everyone has made efforts, so why do I hold my big head in my hands?
Even I don’t know how much money ten thousand households have now.
Even if there are mountains of gold and silver, you can’t eat it. I think the money that can make more people live a good life is good money.”
Takahashi said in one breath.
"Of course... this is all about myself. The fact is... Uncle, I'm tired... You also know how tired it is to lead a company.
I thought it through clearly. What I want to do is to make games and make more fun and interesting games.
While I was running thousands of households, I really couldn’t do anything to play games wholeheartedly.
Do you understand what I mean?
This is my selfishness.”
"Bridge and Bridge..." Uncle's voice choked.
"Don't do this, uncle. It's either a separation from life or death. I'll disappear for a while. We can already have a full meal, that's all. It's fine. It's not too small for ten thousand households to pay attention to. After I leave, I hope you take care of your health... Maybe, even ten thousand households can develop better after I leave. Do you think so?"
After Takahashi said these words, he suddenly felt a little relaxed.
In recent years, he has been missing a partner to talk to.
During the establishment of Wanhu, no matter how much trouble he has, he cannot tell others.
Because he is the backbone of Wanhu and the core of Wanhu.
If even his backbone and core are shaken, will ten thousand households still have a future?
The 20th century is the century of science, and the 21st century is also the century of science.
Japan's technological strength has also begun to decline with the decline of its economy.
If you want to not fall behind in the future, Takahashi feels that he should go to the United States to go to school and learn about the advanced American technology.
Use more advanced technology to pursue a purer player heart.
