The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 666 Cooperation between Blizzard and Nintendo

"Then what should we do?" Ken Kuragi hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "If this plan is realized, wouldn't it be very detrimental to seniors? Should we find a way to destroy this plan?"

In fact, the entire board of directors and even Sony want to kill Nobuyuki Idei, because Nobuyuki Idei is Sony's first president who graduated from the art department, and all the presidents, CEOs and chairmen before him were graduates from the department of science and engineering.

So when Shinobu Idei took office, Sony saw him very upset from top to bottom.Before leading everyone to be able to generate profits, these contradictions have been suppressed.But now that he has been losing money for two years in a row, and he keeps making mistakes and making wrong choices, it has become a consensus that Nobuyuki Idei will be replaced, but it is still unclear who will take over.

Among them, Kazuo Hirai and Jiangbei Xiaozhang are the two generals of Sony who are most likely.It can be seen from Xiaozhang Jiangbei's attitude of daring to yell at the president that he, Xiaozhang Jiangbei, has completely ignored Nobuyuki Idei on the surface.

However, Kazuo Hirai has been silent all the time, and he has always been very respectful to Nobuyuki Idei. Only then did I know the plan of my seniors.

If the development continues like this, Nobuyuki Idei's abdication will be inevitable, and Kazuo Hirai will have a chance to take the position at that time.But if Nobuyuki Idei has secured the position of president because of the profit he brought back to the company this time, it would be a bad thing instead.

"It doesn't matter, the board of directors also knows that this kind of profit generated by saving costs is not the credit of Nobuyuki Idei, and he will step down in embarrassment at that time. Not to mention his current behavior, it can be regarded as completely offending the electronics business department." Help others, he can't stay in the company anymore!" Kazuo Hirai said very calmly, "Also, what those old men hate most is people who dare to break the rules. Xiao Zhang Jiangbei dared to go crazy in front of the chairman relying on his own power , his behavior will completely ruin his future!"

"So we only need to strictly implement the orders of the chairman and the board of directors, and let Nobuyuki Idei and Jiangbei Xiaozhang fight. These idiots, they don't know at all, they don't care who wins the fight, in the end They will all lose!"

"Yes!" Kukuragi Ken nodded, with a smile on his face, if his old boss took a step further, wouldn't he also follow suit?This is a good thing!

A few days later, Sony and Jiangnan Group also reached an agreement basically the same as Nintendo, authorizing all cultural IP in their hands to Jiangnan Group, and soon, Sony Group ordered 9 million pieces in one go For storage chips, Boss Huang agreed to all of them with a swipe of his pen.

It is naturally difficult to hide the news of such a huge transaction, so the entire market soon knew about Sony's big money, and it also shocked the chip market.

At the same time, market participants realized that Sony is going to completely abandon the storage chip industry.After all, ordering 9 million chips at one go is not the amount required for high-end products at all, which means that Sony will switch to buying Jiangnan's storage chip products across the board, which means that Sony will give up its own chip industry.

So what Xiaozhang Jiangbei was worried about happened very quickly. Those buyers who had originally ordered Sony chips canceled their orders. They said very simply that the reasons were various, but there was only one reason, that is, they did not believe that a company that fully used competitors Chip companies can also produce good chips.

And Nobuyuki Idei's actions were also very fast. After the order fell rapidly, the entire storage chip business was directly cut off in less than a month. The personnel in the relevant departments either directly laid off employees or diverted them, and all related equipment All sold... It is said that they were sold directly to Jiangnan Optoelectronics, because Jiangnan Optoelectronics stated that they are willing to purchase this batch of equipment at a price that is [-]% higher than the market price.

It's just that no cash is paid, it's just offsetting the chip consumption, but this is no loss for Sony, so Sony happily agreed.

All these things made Xiao Zhang Jiangbei want to cry, because this batch of equipment is not very old, and all of them were ordered after 02, which is only two years away from now.

In fact, the origin of this batch of equipment is quite mysterious, because this batch of equipment was the equipment that Nobuyuki Idei made a decision two years ago to force the purchase.

Because Nobuyuki Idei said at the time that he wanted to promote Sony's layout and development in the chip industry, he approved US$14.7 billion under the pressure of the board of directors for R&D and equipment purchases to compete with the Korean semiconductor industry.

However, the father of the United States is eccentric, and continuously introduces policies to crack down on Fusang, which leads to the disastrous failure of this investment, and it is still the largest loss on the account until now.

Now being able to sell this batch of equipment at a relatively cost-effective price can be regarded as giving Sony back a little blood. At least this year's financial report has directly changed from a loss of 1 million US dollars to a net profit of 4 million US dollars.

However, with the sale of this batch of equipment, not only the storage chip industry, but other chip-related industries have also been fatally hit. Although they can still survive, it is absolutely impossible to further develop.

Of course, as a by-product of the cooperation, all games under Blizzard Games also officially own the console platform.

In the evening, Yugi Muto was reading the manga boredly, but he couldn't see any words in the manga. The days of Yuto Muto were not happy these days. The news reports on the Blind Box Huahuang Awards have all become popular articles, which greatly increased the sales of Youtong magazine.

But the result was just the opposite. Not only did Muto Yuki not get a promotion and salary increase, but he could faintly feel the pressure from the editor-in-chief, which made Muto Yuki extremely uncomfortable.

The reason is actually easy to guess, because the editor-in-chief is an incompetent person, but he absolutely cannot bear the emergence of capable people under his command, because this will seriously threaten his status, so suppression is inevitable.

He wasn't afraid to force Muto Game away, anyway, the magazine was already so bad, no matter how bad it was, it wouldn't make the parent company feel worse.On the contrary, if the company's performance goes up, but Muto Game leaves, causing the company's performance to decline again, then this is his fault.

Therefore, it is the most normal thing for Muto Games to be suppressed.

And his method has also taken effect. At this time, Muto Games already has the idea of ​​resigning, and now many more excellent game magazines have sent invitations to him to work in the past. He is not afraid that he will not find a new one. Work.

As a result, at this moment, a phone call came over suddenly, Yugi Muto connected the phone, and then heard a familiar voice that surprised me, "President Huang, is it really you?"

"It's me!" Boss Huang admitted, and then asked very simply, "What are you willing to do with me?"

"Huh?" Yugi Muto was stunned. He found that he couldn't understand Boss Huang's Japanese, although his Japanese was indeed pretty good.

"To put it simply, I plan to create a game magazine!" Huang He said with a smile, "If you are willing to work with me, then I will buy Game Pass, and then you will be the editor-in-chief."

"If you don't want to, then I won't buy this magazine. Although this magazine is indeed cheaper, it is more troublesome to occupy the market. I would rather spend the price to buy some more influential magazines. But I like you This person, I intend to give you a chance, you just need to answer whether I want to or not!"

"Let's cast my mind!" After hearing that he would have the opportunity to join Youtong, and then become the editor-in-chief of Youtong, controlling the operation of the entire magazine. After seeing the expression of the original editor-in-chief as if he had eaten shit, Yugi Muto immediately agreed. Yes, and he was really cast down... At this moment, he was lying on the ground while answering the phone.

"Very good, then you will be the editor-in-chief of Yutong tomorrow!" Boss Huang hung up the phone with a smile after finishing speaking.

The next day, under the original editor-in-chief's expression of astonishment, surprise, anger, fear, resentment, and jealousy, Muto Yuki invited the editor-in-chief out of the editor-in-chief's office with a smile, and then arranged for him to sit next to the water dispenser. After the main task was to pour hot water for everyone, Yugi Muto took over the game magazine.

Then Game Express magazine released the first big news after the change of hands, "Blizzard Games and Sony Platform have reached a cooperation, and Blizzard Games will enter the Sony console platform within this year!" "

This news directly stunned the entire game circle. Obviously, it was your magazine who swears more than a week ago that Blizzard Games is in contact with Nintendo and will soon enter the Nintendo platform.

But after more than a week, how come Blizzard games have entered the Sony platform, can we still show some face?
However, Muto Games sincerely stated in the magazine that since the last investigation result was obtained, he has continued to conduct follow-up investigations on Jiangnan and Blizzard Games to obtain first-hand investigation materials.

Then I found out that Jiangnan Group is actually still in contact with Sony. This is actually a very normal operation. It is a matter of course to shop around for buying and selling things. In the end, it probably felt that the price offered by Sony was better, so Blizzard Games finally Sony was selected.

The evidence is that Muto Games got a sample of a brochure, on which there is a picture of a Kodo biting the PS5 console in its mouth, and the word sample is printed on it, which is obviously the promotion of the upcoming cooperation between Sony and Blizzard poster.

Then, in the midst of this astonishment, Sony and Blizzard jointly announced that the two parties had reached a cooperation, and then released the news of Blizzard games on the mainboard within this year, and the first mainframed game was Diablo 1.

But this is not a big deal. The most important thing is that a reporter stood up after hearing the news and asked when Diablo 3 would be available on the host platform.

This is actually just an entertaining question, after all, Diablo 3 is still something that has no shadows.As a result, the representative of the Blizzard Group said seriously that he only knew that there would be none this year.

Wait, this is very subtle, there must be no this year, so will it be available next year or the year after?
Do the math, Blizzard games have a tradition of launching a major work every two years.

For example, StarCraft 98 was launched in 1, Diablo 2000 was launched in 2, Warcraft 02 was launched in 3, World of Warcraft was launched in 04, and Diablo 06 was launched in 3. Reasonable thing to do.

Thinking of being able to play such a masterpiece as Diablo 3 on the host platform for the first time, players still feel extremely excited.

Of course, in this way, Nintendo directly broke the defense.
