While Takahashi was living a comfortable life with the little geisha, in Wanhu's factory, graphics cards were coming off the production line, passing tests from one quality inspector after another, and then transported to the warehouse.

And in Japan, which is separated from China by a sea, is now another scene.

"How could this happen? Why did this happen!" Shimada's expression could only be described as ferocious, "Why can't you sell it!"

The roar of Shimada is circulating in the new building near Shinjuku, TEC Japan's Tokyo headquarters.

"It's... it's our fault..." The sales department head hurriedly bowed and admitted his mistake, and cold sweat kept flowing down his bare forehead. Although he felt that the unsalable sales of the new work of "Hot Blood Series" had little to do with him, it was meaningless to argue for right and wrong at this time, as long as he admitted his mistake.

"You admit your mistake! What's the use of your mistake!" Shimada was still yelling, "The cumulative sales of "Hot Blood Series" on red and white machines have exceeded 5 million sets. There are several companies' games that can achieve this sales! Why! Why can't new works be sold! Say it! Say it!"

He didn't have time to talk to others, and soon all kinds of sounds of smashing things came from the room.

TEC Japan is not in good condition recently.

Although TEC Japan has embarked on the road of good fortune after the first work of "Hot Blood Series" became popular, everyone in the company knows that it is not safe to rely on a game series alone. Maybe one day the games in this series will not be sold, and the company will soon be on the street?

However, after several explorations and launching several games and losing billions of yen, TEC Japan gave up the idea of ​​developing a new game series. Instead, it focused on launching a new work of "Hot Blood Series".

Because the series of new works are launched quickly, they have different themes every time. The sales have always been different.

Although most parents do not want their children to buy this game because of the subject matter. The sales of a single model have never exceeded one million.

However, several works of "Hot Blood Series" with sales of hundreds of thousands have also won a lot of popularity for the series.

Even comic magazines and surrounding manufacturers have come to TEC Japan to cooperate.

In addition to squandering his brothers, the rich TEC Japan also thought of a way to manage its finances, which is to build a new headquarters building.

This is almost the favorite investment method for electronic game manufacturers of the same era.

First, they can afford to build a building with plenty of cash, but once the building is built, not only will the entire company's image be greatly improved. The price of this building will also double at the moment of construction.

certainly……

That was under the premise of the growing housing prices in Tokyo at that time.

Now that housing prices have collapsed, the prices of built buildings have not only shrunk on paper, but they just want to sell them at the right time and no one buys them.

Almost all game manufacturers that build buildings have been in a financial crisis without exception.

However, because electronic games, especially electronic games on consoles, have the characteristic of quickly recovering money. Issuing a new game from a bank loan can still quickly recover some blood.

However, TEC Japan has been messed up.

Today, when the super red and white machine has been launched, the latest "Hot Blood Series" "Hot Blood New Life" that is still released on the red and white machine in order to ensure stability has sales far from their expectations.

Although making money is still profitable, it is far from enough to pay back the bank loan.

The huge clouds shrouded over TEC Japan, making Shimada, who was already selling three million copies of "Brain Training", even more unreasonable.

However, among all the well-known Japanese electronic game manufacturers, TEC Japan is not the most miserable.

The most miserable and well-known electronic game company is Takahashi's old boss Hudson.

The reason why Hudson is the most miserable is not because the games they make are rarely sold for one million sets.

It is because the Hokkaido Tomoe Bank, which has cooperated with the most closely with them, went bankrupt.

The bankruptcy of Hokkaido Takashi Bank means that Hudson will immediately repay all loans to Hokkaido Takashi Bank.

However, Hudson, who also built the new headquarters building, had no money to repay?

Even if it is repaid with the building, it is insolvent.

Just an hour before the repayment period, when the desperate Kudo brothers were about to collapse completely. Konami extended an olive branch and they wanted to acquire Hudson for five million yen, with the condition attached to help Hudson repay all debts.

Konami's olive branch was unexpected by everyone.

The intersection between Hudson and Konami was mainly because when the red and white machine was released, Konami, which could not release the red and white machine game, had to put Hudson's name on his own game and let Hudson release it on his behalf.

This is the case with the famous game "Pig".

It is logically a good cooperation and should represent the beginning of friendship.

But there are not so many friendships in the mall. As the only "helping small game manufacturers" at that time, Hudson, who released red and white game games on his behalf, had to deduct as much as 70% of the sales sold by game cartridges.

In addition, the relevant taxes and fees must also be deducted from Konami.

Although Conami finally made money, it is not something that said they have no resentment towards Hudson.

They did not immediately rebel against Hudson because they also wanted to use Hudson's channels to launch the red and white version of the game.

Although Nintendo had a good relationship with Hudson at that time, they could not see Hudson taking off his skin and not making more money by himself.

Therefore, they invited new electronic game manufacturers to enter the game distribution system of Hongbaiji.

In this second batch of list, not only ten thousand households were accepted, but also Kananmi.

Konami, who can't even count the money by directly releasing the game, naturally became even more resentful to Hudson.

The "friendship" between the two manufacturers ends here.

Later, Konami was in addition to making their classic shooting games, and also extended to areas such as sports goods.

Although they suffered a lot of losses in this economic collapse, they are still much easier than other manufacturers that build headquarters buildings.

The Kudo brothers, who had no other choice, took Konami's olive branch and sold Hudson for five million yen.

On the third day of the sale, the two Hudson founders almost left the house and left the Hudson they founded.

The senior management of Konami was revenged after this battle. Not to mention how happy it was.

As a producer of "Star Karbi", the HAL Research Institute cannot avoid building its headquarters building and can't pay back the money.

Nintendo's old man Yamauchi opened his mouth and said he could help HAL Research Institute repay the debt, but there was a requirement, which was to ask Satoshi Iwata to become the president of HAL Research Institute.
