Chapter 785

In February 1999, during the half month here, a lot of things happened.

First of all, there are Qianjia, Lihua and Jiye's examinations, then all kinds of things happened to animic, and finally, master Jinmin's yuanzhikong is ready to start making.

In fact, it's not just senxia who is busy. Sega is also very busy.

By the middle of February 1999, Sega DC finally managed to break through the sales volume of 1 million units.

But in the face of this fact, the upper echelons of Sega are not happy.

- since the middle of January, Sega's shortage situation has been improved, but at that time, SEGA and they did not expect that things would turn out like this.

DC seems to be very popular for a moment. However, after the new year has passed, DC's reputation has plummeted.

Obviously, DC's hunger and thirst before the sale over, the result has caused the player's antipathy instead.

“…… Whoa After seeing the sales volume of DC, dachuangong quietly put down the documents.

"It seems that the situation is not optimistic. It was still sought after before, but now there is a backlog of stocks..."

Chiu Masao shook his head beside him.

This is a Japanese restaurant in Qianyu's house. These two people are in this place to coke at this time.

"They were careless from the top to the bottom because they found that the sales method of hunger and thirst was too easy to use." Dachuangong shook his head.

Hunger and thirst for sales is the plan put forward by Sen Xia, which was originally designed to give Sega the spare power to recover the shortage caused by decision-making problems.

However, Sega in the temporary relief of the adverse effects caused by shortage, they began to be lazy.

Because of the hunger and thirst for sales strategy, DC's popularity has always been maintained, so Sega did not consider speeding up the pace to solve the problem of production capacity. On the contrary, at that time, they also changed ways to play monkey.

However, the cruel fact tells Sega that in this world, not everyone can become rebs, the monkey king. The monkey Mi monkey MI, which creates the future smart phone monkey playing tradition, can not be imitated by any one person.

If you can't, you can't even if you are Sega.

Sega didn't realize the gap between SEGA and rebos. Therefore, after Sony and other manufacturers burst the chrysanthemum from behind, Sega DC's reputation and sales began to fail.

But chiyumasao noticed that the expression of Dachuan Gong was not so bad.

"I can still sell one million units now, better than I expected." Okawa put down the document.

"Well?" Chiu Masao was a little surprised. At this time, Dachuan Gong could say such a thing. It's really amazing.

"Sega's interior is too chaotic. I've tried my best, but now it's the best result."

For Sega's situation, Ogawa Gong is also very distressed.

"Sega still needs you to steer in person." Chiu Masao said.

However, dachuangong shook his head: "Hayao Nakayama has gone, and I am old now. I will continue to support Sega, but I can't continue to control her."

After hearing Dachuan Gong's words, Chiyu Zhengxiong is a little gloomy.

Dachuangong is old, and now he is suffering from various diseases. He seldom drinks wine. Today, this is a rare opportunity.

At this time, dachuangong really has no spare power to manage Sega.

Although chiyuzhengxiong was recruited by dachuangong, he was an outsider after all. Although he took a stake in Sega, he was only able to think of some decisions. You know, there are still some people in Sega who wish that DC failed quickly and died early.

"In a few months, DC will be listed in beimi, which is the key opportunity." He noticed that Dachuan Gong looked a little gloomy, so chiyumasao changed his question.

On hearing the news about North America, Dachuan Gong's serious face also slightly eased down.

Unlike Japan, the American people are looking forward to DC.

Compared with Japan, the sales and reputation of Sega's game machines in North America have always been better than those in Japan, so their basic game can even be said to be North America.

After the DC network system came out, it was highly praised. However, the PS2 released on Christmas day was said to also use the Internet, which made DC suffer some blows.

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the quality of Internet Games is still good. Sega has tested the Internet with VR soldiers here, and the effect is also very good.

"In the past, we invested in an online game, which is now called Hero track, and the effect is still very good."

The popularity of the hero's track continues to heat up, which is one of the reasons why Sega is determined to engage in the network.The game now has hundreds of thousands of registrations and tens of thousands of online people. With the passage of time, the number of online users has not decreased, on the contrary, it has been in the rising stage.

Because of the emergence of the hero track, many game manufacturers have put their eyes on the Internet, but they still have doubts - the game content of hero track is free, and the paid part has nothing to do with the game itself. The profit-making process is a very troublesome place.

"The Internet is a piece of white land, now what we need to do is to quickly go to enclosure." This is Chiu Masao's view on the Internet, "Mr. Ogawa, you decided to add this function to the DC, which is really great."

But in the face of chiyumasao's words, Dachuan Gong just waved his hand: "this is not actually my idea."

“…… Oh? " Chiu Masao is a little curious.

To tell you the truth, although DC considered the network module when it was designed, they didn't think of getting a network card or fiber-optic network at that time. The network system they considered at that time was the classic "56K cat" dial-up network.

But it turns out that after using the current network system, the network combined with the hard disk has added a lot of new ways to play DC. At that time, it seemed to be a waste of cost, but now it seems that it has become a magic stroke. This is really touching.

Chiu Masao originally thought that this was a strange idea of Dachuan Gong, but listening to Dachuan Gong, it seemed that this was not his idea?

"It's interesting, too. It seems that it happened last year or the year before last. I happened to meet two young people in Waseda University. They were talking about Sega at that time. I went to listen to their thoughts. "

"It turned out to be Waseda University students." Chiu Masao nodded.

However, Dachuan Gong shook his head. Chiu Masao also noticed that there was a smile on his face: "no, those two people are actually high school students."

“…… High school students? "

After hearing Dachuan Gong's explanation, Chiu Masao was surprised.

"Well, and I think you should know Zhengxiong as well." Dachuan Gong said with a smile.

Dachuan Gong knows each other, but the other person probably doesn't know Dachuan Gong, and the other side seems to know each other with himself.

Chiba Masao's expression became strange: "should not be a little girl?"

Dachuan Gong nodded: "yes, Qianjia and that - yes, it's a young man named Tian Hai Sen Xia."

"That boy..." When talking about Tian Hai Sen Xia, Chiu Zhengxiong also touched his chin.

"Yes, it was their ideas that inspired me." Okawa explained.

"I see." Chiyu Zhengxiong nodded, then picked up the wine pot on the table and poured a glass of sake for himself and dachuangong.

"But I didn't expect that these two high school students are already so amazing now."

"Crown of sin" recently, this big fire game will not be mentioned. Previously, their animic club's "Plants vs. Zombies" was sold on the PS platform, which was also very amazing. Sony even found them.

“…… But that kid seems to be more optimistic about Sony... "

At the thought of the founding of animic society, Chiu Masao frowned.

Although animic seems to be the third party of their DC now and then, her daughter will go to Sony's people from time to time to learn about the progress of PS2. Chiba also knows that.

The reason why their works appear on DC is that some of their works can be fully reflected only on DC, and on the other hand, it is also because DC is their only choice at this moment.

It can be seen that if PS2 comes out at this time, they will definitely develop some games for PS2 without any discipline.

It's really good to monopolize games on the platform, but you can't see that the most moistening companies among game manufacturers are those without integrity such as card mounting and dark Rong?

"If I abandon my position, I'm actually more optimistic about Sony myself." Because it's a private place, Okawa doesn't pay attention to when he speaks. He sighs, "I can't help Sega too much now. Although DC is my painstaking effort, what I can do is limited. But Sony has a dedicated home game unit, and it won't have such a serious conflict as Sega. "

Sony's volume is larger than Sega. Its products, from TV sets, home appliances to electronics, have a very rich product line. Although there will be friction between their departments, they will be more mature than Sega.

"Yes, it seems that the arcade department is very hostile to the Internet system here in DC."

Chiu Masao thought of some news in Sega before.

Although the Internet is very interesting, after the VR warrior online mode appeared, arcade side began to strongly oppose the development of games with network functions, especially those arcade Transplant Games.In the arcade, the confrontation between people is basically a part of the game. However, at this time, we can fight and play with others without leaving home. This kind of feeling makes the arcade department have a sense of crisis.

"The times are always developing. Although I am old, I know that technology is changing with each passing day. Holding the old concept, the final ushering in can only be the final demise." Dachuan Gong's words are full of elders' understanding and sighing about the world.

Chiyu Zhengxiong drank up the sake in the cup, and then poured himself a cup.

"There's a feeling that it's hard to come back." Chiyumasao has no expectations for Sega's future.

From the board of directors to the management, there are problems in the whole Sega. It's useless to rely on Tang Chuan to sell sprouts alone.

It's a matter of corporate structure.

Now SEGA and they can only hope to fight a turnaround in North America and save Sega.

But to be honest, Chiu is not optimistic about this.

If DC can be listed in North America, at most, it will only continue its life.

"But we are not without opportunities." And at this time, Chiba Zhengxiong suddenly thought of a game that they are developing with a huge investment.

Hardware can't determine the game market, but the game itself can.

Just as the Pokemon saved the GB handset that was about to leave the stage of history, and finally imagined to help PS ascend to the throne of the household computer, the hardware is always better than the software.

"Ah, that game." Dachuan Gong also nodded, "Suzuki Yu I am still very optimistic."

"Hi," Chiu Masao nodded, "as long as the game can come out, we can vitalize the whole market with the help of the quality of the game, make huge profits, and re suppress the internal voice. At that time, we can take the opportunity to screw the company's internal into a rope, which is enough."

As long as the works are good, they can take advantage of this opportunity to comb the interior of Sega again. In this way, the situation will be much better.

Whether it is Dachuan gong or chiyumasao, they are very important to Suzuki.

Before that, Suzuki Yu developed the VR warrior game. Later, he produced the most profitable game "VR Warrior 2" in Sega's history, which helped Sega stabilize some of their lax hearts.

Last year, the VR Warrior series, as a game art treasure, was permanently collected by the Washington Museum. Suzuki Yu brought this honor.

If there is any killer mace of Sega at this time, there is no doubt that this is Suzuki Yu.

"In order to make Suzuki better develop software, I am going to transfer him to be the director of the second software research and development department." Dachuan Gong said, "into the Jiao Zhao Yilang also agreed."

Although Mr. Chiba feels that it is not reliable to enter into the friendship with Akiro, Suzuki Yu is still trustworthy. For this decision, he thinks it is very correct.

"Well, Suzuki mulberry will be able to develop a new game that can match VR fighters. Cheers."

"Yes, it's up to him. Cheers."

Chiyumasao and Dachuan Gong smile and raise their glasses.

……

Card mounting is kapkong, and dark glory is glory.
