Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

This caused Daisuke Yamada on stage to frown repeatedly. "Stop just cursing! Give me some lines!"

Sure enough, the staff next to him, hearing him swearing and not talking about anything serious, quickly went over, hugged him, and took the microphone away.

It was only at this moment that Shoji Kenji remembered that he still had something to say.

Unfortunately, by then it was too late.

Lin Li had already picked up the microphone.

He first let out a long sigh before speaking.

"Anime culture is a very important part of modern entertainment culture, and I also really like this part."

"Many people think I am an enemy of the Japanese game industry, but in fact, I consider us to be friends of the Japanese game industry."

“Spark is a global company with thousands of employees in Japan. The taxes we pay to the government and the value we create each year far exceed those of many local companies.”

"I have a question that I need everyone to answer."

"Even without sparks, can someone like Akihito Shoji really carry mobile games and the future of Japanese games?"

"When I took over FGO, its monthly revenue was only a little over a billion yen. It was after I took over that FGO began to flourish and shine on a global scale."

"There are always people who think that success comes easily, but that's not true."

"If FGO continues to be in Mr. Shoji Akihito's hands."

"Japan will lose a global intellectual property."

"Now, Spark has supported this IP, creating thousands of jobs in Japan, and boosting FATE's popularity worldwide. Last year alone, FATE's licensing brought huge profits to its parent company, TYPE-MOON."

"Did Xinghuo take all the revenue from the FATE IP? The Touhou fantasy world became popular all over the world, leading to the expansion of the Touhou IP. Did Xinghuo get all the profits?"

"Voice actors, illustrators, doujinshi artists, and countless other Japanese citizens have benefited from this."

“Spark provides Japanese manufacturers with a platform that reaches hundreds of millions of users worldwide. In 2018 alone, dozens of Japanese independent game studios that should have gone out of business joined the Spark platform and received funding support.”

"In the future, with the release of dual-platform mobile games based on IPs from major companies like Sony, Capcom, Koei Tecmo, and Square Enix worldwide, won't that enhance their brand awareness?"

"Furthermore, thanks to Spark's presence, many animation projects that would otherwise not have been approved were approved due to Spark's investment. For the first time in ten years, the entire Japanese animation industry has expanded by more than 5%, creating more than 10,000 jobs!"

"Is this something that Shoji Akihito, or Yamada Daisuke, could do?"

He was suddenly singled out by Lin Li.

Daisuke Yamada sat up straight, about to retort.

Upon closer examination, Lin Li's words also have problems.

In some details, there is a misrepresentation. There is no mention of "Linli" (林立), but there are other big IPs like Fate and Touhou that support many people.

It seems that these people have jobs because of Xinghuo.

Secondly, the significant growth in Japan's animation industry is not fundamentally due to Spark's investment, but rather to the increased revenue from animation resulting from the copyright war in China.

As a result, a large number of new companies were established.

Of course, on another level, Lin Li wasn't lying; the existence of Spark did indeed boost the revenue of these industries.

However, the extent of the improvement remains to be seen.

Therefore, if Daisuke Yamada were to really think about it carefully, he might actually point out the problem.

But Lin Li would never give him that chance.

"From 2013 to now, Puzzle & Dragons has generated $40 billion in revenue, or 5000 billion yen, which is far more than what we've made. What have they done? What have they contributed to the Japanese game industry? What have they contributed to Japanese animation? What have they contributed to Japan?!"

Lin Li became more and more excited as he spoke.

"The parasites of the nation no longer lurk in the shadows, but instead spit out their venomous threads! Shoji Akihito! Yamada Daisuke! Are you going to destroy the spark! Or are you going to destroy Japanese games!?"

Faced with Lin Li's sudden personal attack.

He was met with thunderous applause from the audience.

Daisuke Yamada was completely dumbfounded.

No, how did Xinghuo suddenly become a representative of Japanese games?

Why are you suddenly playing the role of the savior of the Japanese gaming industry?!

I'm the Japanese one!

Before arriving, he thought he had the victory in his grasp, so he was completely unprepared.

Lin Li's words were indeed sharp, like a needle piercing his lungs, silencing him completely.

It's true that Daisuke Yamada has made money in recent years but hasn't given back to society or the gaming industry. But which company in all of Japan has ever given back?

How can this be his problem?

But it happened at this time.

He can't say that yet.

The spotlight shone on his face.

At this moment, Daisuke Yamada was drenched in sweat.

Chapter 535 Shift in Public Opinion

Daisuke Yamada opened his mouth several times.

But he didn't utter a single word.

At that moment, his best option was to stand up and bow.

Because you said nothing else matters.

It's like at a charity gala, where people ask you, "Have you ever donated money?"

what?

Are you a nouveau riche who won't part with a single penny?

Then what are you still saying?

At this point, the best way to preserve one's reputation is to stand up and bow.

A bow might just earn you applause.

After all, the Japanese are easily swayed by this. No matter how big the problem, even if a nuclear power plant explodes, they'll just bow and call it a day.

However, Daisuke Yamada got up several times.

In the end, none of them had the courage to stand up.

The gap is too big.

When I came here, my goal was to crush Xinghuo.

It's only been half an hour since the show started.

He was then killed on the ground.

Only those with great power can quickly overcome this gap.

Is Daisuke Yamada a capable person?

No.

Ultimately, he is just like those people in China who made their fortunes through a certain game; they all took off at a specific time and within a specific window of opportunity.

He was extremely wealthy but lacked moral character.

Before I knew it, the applause had lasted for more than a minute.

It's as if Lin Li really is someone who has devoted himself to the Japanese game industry.

The camera even captured audience members at the scene, some of whom were moved to tears.

Even the host was deeply moved.

Seeing that Daisuke Yamada did not react.

The host simply ignored him and continued interviewing Lin Li: "Since Mr. Lin considers himself a friend of the industry, what changes do you think we need to make in the future to reverse the decline of Japanese games?"

After thinking for a while, Lin Li said with some emotion, "To be honest, I am just a company boss and I don't have the ability to lead the industry. But if I had to say something, I think it would be mutual progress."

The host seemed puzzled.

Lin Li then began to explain.

"The internet has made the world bigger and smaller, and so have games that rely on the internet."

"The current internet is an internet that encourages innovators and encourages going global, but from my observation, Japan's game industry has lost this characteristic and has become increasingly closed."

"During this period, I have been chatting with many people in the industry and found that even now, many people still do not have a correct understanding of mobile games and dual-platform games. Some people even think that the performance of mobile games is still stuck in the Nokia era."

"They are even less familiar with dual-platform games, and they don't know what the new generation of players needs."

Why did Sony form a strategic partnership with Spark? Why did Capcom and other major manufacturers choose to move forward with Spark? Are they also the so-called sinners, as some people claim?

Lin Li said earnestly, "So let's make progress together."

The host was clearly moved by these words.

He clearly didn't feel the same pressure as Daisuke Yamada, and stood up to bow deeply: "I've learned a lot."

The audience was also moved by the host's bow.

Another round of applause erupted.

As the recording of the program neared its final stages.

The host began by asking successful people about their experiences: "Mr. Lin, could you offer some advice to Japanese game entrepreneurs?"

Upon hearing this question, Lin Li said seriously, "Make games with love, convey emotions first, and then think about monetization."

The host nodded and continued, "Do you think the Japanese gaming industry will see another spark?"

“Of course, we should make progress together,” Lin Li pondered for a moment before continuing his explanation.

“Talent in the gaming industry is mobile. Spark has a studio in Japan with over a thousand people based there, and they are currently building a new studio.”

"Perhaps one of them will become a future industry leader. After gaining enough experience at Xinghuo, he may succeed in starting his own business."

The audience applauded again as time went on.

No one questioned Xinghuo anymore, and the atmosphere at the scene became harmonious and joyful.

Throughout the live stream, Lin Li maintained a sincere expression, sharing many of his views on enterprises and generously describing the situation of his own company.

At the end.

The audience gave Lin Li the warmest applause as they left.

The guests also stood up and shook hands with Lin Li.

As for Daisuke Yamada, who missed the opportunity to bow at the beginning, he has been almost forgotten.

~~~

Amid applause, Lin Li walked down the steps.

"Mr. Lin, why did you bring out so much valuable information today? If it were these Japanese..."

Wei Shuqi, who was waiting backstage, followed his boss out and asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Li had already given his reply.

"Do you think that no one has ever said what I'm saying today before?"

"It would be a truly bizarre thing if a country's industries could be changed by just a few words from a foreigner like me."

"It's easier said than done."

"This Japan, the world will never change."

After Lin Li finished speaking, he suddenly remembered the devaluation of the yen a few years later.

He thought to himself that, putting aside other places, the money Spark earned in Japan would either be transferred back to China or spent entirely.

You should also find an investment institution to learn more about what shorting currencies is all about.

Think of this.
