Chapter 672 Cooperation between Blizzard and Nintendo

"Then what should we do?" Jiu Liangmujian hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "If this plan comes true, wouldn't it be very detrimental to the seniors? Should we find a way to destroy this plan?"

In fact, the entire board of directors and even everyone at Sony want to get rid of Nobuyuki Idei, because Nobuyuki Idei is Sony's first president to graduate from an art department, and all the presidents, CEOs, and chairman before him were graduates from science and engineering departments.

So when Nobu Idei took office, everyone at Sony was very unhappy with him. Before, he was still able to generate profits under his leadership, so these conflicts were suppressed. But now, he has been losing money for two consecutive years, and he keeps making mistakes and making mistakes.

It has become a consensus that Nobuyuki Idei will be replaced because of the wrong choice, but it is still unclear who will take over.

Among them, the most likely ones are Hirai Kazuo and Xiao Zhang Jiangbei, two Sony generals. From Xiao Zhang Jiangbei's attitude of daring to yell at the president, it can be seen that Xiao Zhang Jiangbei has completely refused to let Nobuyuki Dei go.

It's in my eyes.

However, Kazuo Hirai has always been silent, and has always been very respectful to Nobuyuki Idei, basically obeying his words, so few people know that Kazuo Hirai has actually done a lot of things behind the scenes.

Only then did I know the plan of my senior.

If this development continues, Nobuyuki Idei's abdication will be inevitable, and Kazuo Hirai will have the opportunity to take over. But if Nobuyuki Idei can secure his position as president because of the profits he has brought to the company this time, then

Instead, he did something bad.

"It doesn't matter, the board of directors also knows that this kind of profit born from cost saving is not his credit. He will still step down in embarrassment when the time comes. Not to mention that his current behavior has completely offended the people in the electronics division.

Help people, he is more public-minded

I can't stay here any longer!" Hirai Kazuo said very calmly, "Also, what those old men hate most are people who dare to break the rules. Xiao Zhang Jiangbei relied on his own power to actually dare to get angry in front of the chairman. His behavior will be completely

It will 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 Xiaozhang Jiangbei fight. These idiots don't know at all. They don't care who wins the fight. In the end,

Everyone will lose completely!"

"Yes!" Jiu Liangmujian nodded, with a smile on his face. If his old boss goes one step further, wouldn't he also follow suit and reach the sky? This is a good thing!

A few days later, Sony and Jiangnan Group reached an agreement basically the same as Nintendo, licensing all cultural IP in their possession to Jiangnan Group for use. Soon after, Sony Group ordered 90 million storage units in one fell swoop.

Chip and Boss Huang all agreed with a stroke of his pen.

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

At the same time, people in the market understood that Sony was going to completely abandon the storage chip industry. After all, ordering 90 million chips in one go is simply not the quantity required for high-end products. This means that Sony will switch to purchasing and using Jiangnan's entire line.

Storage chip products, this means that Sony will give up its own chip industry.

So what Xiao Zhang Jiangbei was worried about soon happened. Those buyers who originally ordered Sony chips canceled their orders one after another. They said very simply that the reasons were all kinds of strange, but there was only one reason, and that was that they did not believe in a full-scale competitor.

Chip companies can still produce good chips.

And Nobuyuki Idei also acted very quickly. After the rapid decline in orders, he directly cut off the entire storage chip business in less than a month. The personnel in the relevant departments either directly laid off employees or diverted all related equipment.

All sold... It is said that they were sold directly to Jiangnan Optoelectronics, because Jiangnan Optoelectronics said they were willing to purchase this batch of equipment at a price 20% higher than the market price.

It's just that I don't pay cash, it's just to offset the consumption of the chip, but this doesn't cause any loss to Sony, so Sony agreed happily.

All these things made Xiao Zhang Jiangbei want to cry, because this batch of equipment was not very old. They were all ordered after 2002, which is only two years ago.

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

Because Nobuyuki Idei said at that time that he wanted to promote Sony's layout and development in the chip industry, he resisted pressure from the board of directors and approved US$1.47 billion to engage in research and development and purchase equipment to compete with the Korean semiconductor industry.

However, the father of the United States was biased and continuously introduced policies to crack down on Fuso, causing this investment to fail miserably, and it is still the largest loss on the books to this day.

Now being able to sell this batch of equipment at a relatively cost-effective price can be regarded as a small gain for Sony. At least this year's financial report has directly changed from a loss of US$100 million to a net profit of US$400 million.

However, with the sale of this batch of equipment, not only the storage chip industry, but other chip-related industries have also suffered a fatal blow. Although they are still alive, it is no longer possible to develop further.

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

In the evening, Muto Yugi was reading comics boredly, but could not see a single word in the comics. Muto Yugi was not having a happy life these days. After it was revealed that Blizzard might enter the Nintendo platform, a piece of Muto Yugi

News reports on the Blind Box Huahuang Award have become popular articles, greatly increasing the sales of Game Pass magazine.

However, the result was exactly the opposite. Not only did Muto Games not receive a promotion or salary increase, but he could also faintly feel various pressures from the editor-in-chief, which made Muto Games extremely uncomfortable.

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

He is not afraid of forcing Muto Games to leave. Anyway, the magazine is already so bad, and if it gets any worse, it will not make the parent company more miserable. On the contrary, if the company's performance improves, but Muto Games leaves, the company's performance will drop again.

If it goes down, then this is his fault.

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

And his method has taken effect. At this time, Muto Games has already thought about resigning, and now many better game magazines have sent invitations to him to work there, and he is not afraid of finding new ones.

Work.

As a result, at this moment, a phone call suddenly came over. Muto Yugi answered the call, and then heard a familiar voice that surprised him, "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?" Muto Yugi was stunned. He found that he couldn't understand Boss Huang's Japanese, although his Japanese was indeed quite good.

"To put it simply, I plan to start a game magazine!" Huang He said with a smile, "If you are willing to work with me, then I will buy Game Pass and 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 still prefer to spend money to buy some magazines with wider influence. But I am optimistic about you.

This person is going to give you a chance, you just need to tell me whether you are willing or not!"

"I'm so impressed!" After hearing that he could have the opportunity to join Yugame.com, and then become the editor-in-chief of Yugame.com, controlling the operation of the entire magazine, and seeing the original editor's expression as if he had eaten shit, Muto Yugi immediately agreed.

, and he really fell to the ground... At this time, he was lying on the ground while answering the phone.

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

The next day, with the original editor's expressions of astonishment, surprise, anger, fear, resentment, and jealousy, Muto Yugi invited the editor out of the editor's office with a smile, and then arranged for him to sit near the water fountain.

After its main task was to pour hot water for everyone, Muto Games took over the Game Pass magazine.

Then Game Pass Magazine published the first big news after the change of ownership, "Blizzard Games and Sony Platform have reached a cooperation, and Blizzard Games will enter the Sony console platform within the year!"

This news immediately stunned the entire gaming community. It was obviously your magazine that more than a week ago vowed that Blizzard Games was in contact with Nintendo and would soon be available on the Nintendo platform.

But after more than a week, why has it become a Blizzard game to be released on the Sony platform? Can I still get some points?

However, Muto Games sincerely stated in the magazine that after the last investigation result was obtained, he continued to conduct follow-up investigations on Jiangnan and Blizzard Games to obtain first-hand investigation information.

Then I discovered that Jiangnan Group was actually still in contact with Sony. This was actually a very normal operation. It is natural to shop around when buying and selling things. In the end, I probably felt that the price offered by Sony was better, so Blizzard Games finally

Sony was chosen.

The evidence is that Muto Games obtained a sample of the brochure, which has a picture of a Kodo holding a PS5 console in its mouth, with the words "sample" printed on it. This is obviously a promotion for the upcoming cooperation between Sony and Blizzard.

poster.

Then in the midst of this confusion, Sony and Blizzard jointly announced that they had reached a cooperation and would release Blizzard games for consoles within the year, and the first console-made game was Diablo 2.

But this is nothing. The most important thing is that after hearing the news, a reporter stood up and asked when Diablo 3 would be available on the console platform.

This is actually just an entertainment question. After all, Diablo 3 is still something that Shadow of God does not have. As a result, the representative of Blizzard Group said seriously that he only knew that it would not be available this year.

Wait, this is very subtle. It will definitely not be available this year, but will it be available next year or the year after that?

Do the math, Blizzard has a habit of launching a major game every two years.

For example, StarCraft 1 was released in 1998, Diablo 2 was released in 2000, Warcraft 3 was released in 2002, World of Warcraft was released in 2004, and Diablo 3 was released in 2006. It was very

A reasonable thing.

Players are still extremely excited at the thought of being able to play a masterpiece like Diablo 3 on a console platform for the first time.
