Chapter 274 A Difficult Idea to Understand
"Real games are working on storage technology? Why do they suddenly want to do this?"
In the NGS headquarters, a newly appointed section chief was looking at the information just submitted by his subordinates with confusion.
The information provides a detailed introduction to recent real game trends.
From the adjustments made by real game employees at the beginning, it can be roughly inferred that they should have started a new game project.
Not long after, news came from China that Real Games had reached a cooperative relationship with China's Computer Research Institute. Real Games would provide overseas connections and help the Computer Research Institute research high-end technology of flash memory chips.
This made the section chief very confused.
Is it possible that the latest games produced by Real Games are related to storage?
No, no, what are you talking about? Video games are all related to storage, but why are you doing such an action this time?
The section chief studied for a long time but couldn't come up with any clues. Then he ordered his subordinates: "Distribute this to the people in the classroom and let them all study carefully what the purpose of the real game is and what they plan to do." Such a game.”
"Okay." The subordinate took the file and quickly left the office.
On the door of the office, there are a few Japanese words written: Real Game Response Course.
This is a small team of about seven people dedicated to researching and targeting real games.
This is a new classroom established after the popularity of Final Fantasy Part 2.
The goal is to start thinking about strategies for dealing with real games.
NGS finally realized at this moment that they had underestimated real games too much, which resulted in them being slapped in the face again and again by real games.
Finally, President Yamauchi’s old face became a little bit unbearable.
No matter what, I have to let this kid know how powerful this old man is.
So he began to lead the creation of a real game response class.
A team led by senior market analysts will study every move of the real game, and then suppress the real game in a targeted manner.
Creating a dedicated classroom can be considered a helpless move, and it also means that NGS has finally realized that real games are a threat. If this continues, no one knows whether there will be more big jobs in real games.
Final Fantasy 2 has begun to surpass Dragon Quest in popularity in some areas.
In fact, Dragon Quest can only be regarded as a national game in Japan, and it is not particularly popular in Europe and the United States.
But before, there were no competitors and it could be considered that it firmly occupied the top spot, but this time Final Fantasy suppressed Dragon Quest overseas.
We can no longer sit back and do nothing.
Several people in the entire classroom began to analyze urgently.
Among these people, there are those who specialize in technology, games, and markets. The equipment is very sufficient. It is obvious that Yamauchi really takes real games seriously.
And these people did not live up to Yamauchi's expectations. As soon as there was action in the real game, they also took action and started brainstorming research to figure out what the real game wanted to do.
In the end, they reached a very similar conclusion after several days of discussion.
Real Games is preparing to develop a work with a larger game capacity, so it urgently hopes to rapidly advance storage technology and reduce the cost of high-capacity memory cartridges, so that his game can be realized.
However, the specific content of this game is currently unknown.
They originally wanted to bribe employees of Square's real game division to obtain information.
However, the team in Japan really didn’t know that the main thing Zuo Zhen asked Square to do was to specialize in one game, which was Final Fantasy.
As for other games, Square does not need to consider them now.
Now Square's team is considering research and development of the third Final Fantasy game. Zuo Zhen has not yet provided a clear direction, but just let them try it out first.
So the bribes given by people here are just free bribes and have no useful information.
Only Huaxia's team is actually involved in this game development, and it is too difficult to get game development information about real games in Huaxia.
So now all they can obtain is information related to the real game and computer research institute.
Because this is inevitable to be made public.
The response section quickly compiled the intelligence they had deduced and reported it to Yamauchi, and their work was basically completed.
Yamauchi showed the compiled information to several powerful executives, including Akira Nakamura.
At this moment, Akira Nakamura has finally officially entered the senior ranks of NGS and has access to more resources and rights of the company.
"How's it going? Do you have any thoughts on the real game's actions this time?"
Yamauchi looked at several senior executives who came to his office and asked.
The current person in charge of cassette production said: "President, I think real games underestimate storage technology. As far as I know, the storage technology in China is still very rudimentary, and there will definitely be no results in a short time."
Yamauchi said: "But you are talking about a short period of time, which means there will be results sooner or later?"
"Uh...that's true."
"So there is still a threat, what about others? What do you think?"
Nakamura Akira asked: "President, didn't the people in the response department investigate the latest games to be developed by Real Games?"
"No, the actual game is very confidential this time, and it is very likely that it will not be announced until the finished product is released."
"Can we start with Sega? We also have spies there, right?"
Yamauchi looked to the other side, and the person over there happened to be the senior management responsible for dealing with and researching Sega.
Since Sega is a competitor, the threat level is actually higher than that of real games. Naturally, there is a response department specifically for Sega, but this is not just a classroom, but a department level.
The person in charge shook his head: "No, Zhenyi Games has not told Sega about this game. He just recently talked to Sega about the sales of production chips for game cartridges. He seems to be pulling strings to persuade Sega to buy flash memory chips produced by China."
At this time, another person said in confusion: "Why did he do this? It seems that he does not get any benefits from his status as a middleman."
Nakamura Akira said: "Maybe you don't know much about China. I once had an alumnus of China. From him and his introduction to China, I know a little bit about China."
When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at Akira Nakamura.
"Sometimes, Chinese people seem to have a sense of honor and collective mission. Although I can't guarantee that Zuo Zhen thinks the same way, judging from Zuo Zhen's behavior, he also hopes that not only he can get He also wants to bring more benefits to his country through himself, which may be difficult to understand from a capital perspective, but it is indeed possible for them to do so."
