Chapter 65 65 That’s Not the Case

Chapter 65 65. That’s not the case

May 20, 1991.

pokeni co., ltd.

President's office.

Qing Zhiyuan's irritable voice came from inside.

"How can it be repaired?"

"Damn Rentian!"

HR Ayase Akane, who was only a wall away from him, was so frightened that her whole body trembled.

Until now, she had never seen the president lose such a temper.

Qing Zhiyuan sat on the chair dejectedly, his eyes empty for a while.

Can you not be angry?

I just received the review notice from Rentiantang, telling me:

[Since the game "Mermaid Heart" does not meet Rentendo's release standards, we regret to inform you that it cannot be released on the SFC platform.

Please modify it as appropriate before submitting it for review.

——Rentiantian]

The only thing worth gratifying is——

Only the word "shoddy" was not added.

At least it proves that the quality of the game is okay.

When Qing Zhiyuan saw this notice, he was stunned.

I just felt a chill rushing from the soles of my feet to my forehead, and my whole body felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar.

Isn't it?

Is this happening now?

Isn't this fatal?

A small boat like pokeni cannot withstand any big storms.

Every month, the expenses of existing members alone are close to 10 million yuan. If Rentiantang does not support you for a day, Pokeni will lose blood every day.

Even the money earned from the Onmyoji series could not support such expenses.

Losing too much blood can lead to death.

According to Qing Zhiyuan's original plan, "Mermaid Heart" was the first game. With its game quality and graphics, it is definitely the best in SFC. No other game can match it in terms of graphics.

Then Mermaid Heart can not only earn development fees for the next game, but also establish the name of Gen Urobuchi.

The pressure on "Diablo" will be appropriately reduced in the future. Even if it is not made into a galgame game, Qing Zhiyuan is confident that he can shine in SFC.

This year should be the [pokeni year].

But.

Now.

The plan was completely disrupted.

…

It was clearly daytime outside the window, and the sunshine in May was just right.

But Qing Zhiyuan only felt that his eyes were bleak.

Based on his understanding of Rentendo, or the dictator Hiroshi Yamauchi, since the SFC has tightened the review this time, it will definitely not be relaxed in the future.

No matter what, it will probably be difficult for "Mermaid Heart" to be released on SFC.

Sit on the chair for a while.

Qing Zhiyuan's eyes moved slightly.

When he raised his head, he found that a bunch of heads at the door had shrunk back.

After a second, another head popped out of the door, belonging to Akane Ayase.

"President, are you okay?" the young HR asked with concern.

"No, it's okay." Qing Zhiyuan took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

"Is it really okay?"

"Yeah. It's really okay." Qing Zhiyuan sighed, "There is something wrong with Rentian. I may need to solve it."

"oh."

After hearing his answer, everyone returned to their workstations.

…

Qing Zhiyuan finally calmed down after being greeted by the little HR.

Even if it is for the sake of the members, we must find a way to save ourselves.

There are several plans currently before him:

First, abandon SFC directly and switch to Sega's MD, or directly publish it on nec's PCE host platform.

There are so many galgames on PCE that there will definitely be no review problems if you send them to PCE.

But--

SFC is the future console overlord.

Rentendo's era of hegemony will last until the emergence of Sony PS in 1995.

Second, try harder and see if you can communicate with President Yamauchi. I hope he can truly feel the charm of "Mermaid Heart".

No, I'm afraid it won't work to let a die-hard like Hiroshi Yamauchi feel the charm of the game.

First, bring the "Mermaid Heart" project book with you and take a look.

…

Rentiantang made an appointment for Qing Zhiyuan to meet with President Hiroshi Yamauchi at 4 o'clock on Friday afternoon.

If you're lucky, you'll have about an hour.

Even shorter.

The reason for making an appointment at this time is obviously because pokeni is a small company, and Qing Zhiyuan is not a famous person.

Therefore, Hiroshi Yamauchi was only willing to use the short time before dinner in the afternoon to see him.

Qing Zhiyuan could only give it a try.

…

After arriving at the Rentian building at the scheduled time and explaining his purpose of coming and making an appointment, the young lady at the front desk took Qing Zhiyuan upstairs into a conference room.

After waiting for almost 10 minutes, an old man wearing a black suit and maintaining a good figure came through the door.

Qing Zhiyuan recognized it with just one glance.

Hiroshi Yamauchi is all too familiar.

It's just that he was a player in his previous life, and he didn't expect to have such a close encounter.

"I am Qing Zhiyuan, this is the first time we meet, please take care of me!"

Qing Zhiyuan bent his body at 90 degrees and presented the gift he had brought with his hands.

Hiroshi Yamauchi glanced down and found that the gift box contained two bottles of Maotai.

This wine is not cheap in Neon, it probably costs about 100,000 yen.

"Hello, I'm Hiroshi Yamauchi."

President Yamauchi nodded slightly, took the gift, and placed it under the seat in the conference room.

The two parties exchanged business cards, and Qing Zhiyuan also explained the purpose of his visit.

"That's it..."

Hiroshi Yamauchi's face didn't look very good.

However, since the visit itinerary had already been arranged, he still sat down and took the project proposal given to him by Qing Zhiyuan.

He patiently flipped through the project document brought by Qing Zhiyuan. After seeing the picture above, Hiroshi Yamauchi lowered his eyes slightly and gently closed the document.

"President Qing, I'm deeply sorry. Your company's games do not meet Rentian Paradise's release standards. Please refer to our review requirements."

"Of course, we always welcome your company to continue to submit excellent and high-quality games. But this one definitely won't work."

After saying that, Hiroshi Yamauchi looked at his watch, "It's getting late..."

"President, you haven't finished reading it yet." Qing Zhiyuan interrupted, "Please read it carefully before making an evaluation.

This game has unbridled imagination and creativity. Although it is a galgame, the persistent and pure love contained in it will definitely impress players. I believe that as long as there is love in your heart, you will be moved by it. "

Um……

Hiroshi Yamauchi pondered for two seconds, the expression on his face changing.

It was obvious that he was on the verge of an outburst of anger.

"President Qing, although I have only read two pages, I already know how twisted this game is and how boring it is.

When you made this game, didn’t you have any psychological burden at all? "

"I..." Qing Zhiyuan opened his mouth, feeling filled with panic.

"I believe, and adhere to the opinion of the company's review department, that it is impossible for such a game to be launched on SFC.

No, as long as I am the president of Rentendo, there is no way such a vulgar game will be released on any of Rentendo’s game consoles. "

So far, what Hiroshi Yamauchi said has been very decisive.

"Our game is not like this." Qing Zhiyuan responded.

Hiroshi Yamauchi stood up and got angry directly at Qing Zhiyuan, "If it's not like this, what is it like?!"

With his roar, the entire conference room fell silent.

Qing Zhiyuan looked at the 60-year-old man in front of him with difficulty.

I thought, this shouldn't be like this.

"Sorry, I'm rude."

Hiroshi Yamauchi stood up and straightened his clothes.

"It's a pity, President Qing, that you failed to impress me. There are problems with this game plan itself. It can never be a game that makes people happy."

"Rentiantian will not agree to such a game being released on our platform."

"President! Please give us a chance." Qing Zhiyuan stood up and begged.

But Hiroshi Yamauchi didn't respond to him. Instead, he opened the door of the conference room and walked out.

When he was about to leave, Qing Zhiyuan saw his lips move slightly.

Although there was no sound.

But Qing Zhiyuan could read his lips——

"A fool who only knows how to beg."
