Chapter 144: Hideo Kojima, who wrote novels
Hideo Kojima is still studying in college, but it is only his last year, and he is basically an internship.
After the party, Tamahikoshiro proposed to go to Kabukicho to see their Japanese culture. However, he was not interested in this Jester, so he suggested that he was a little tired and was going back to rest first. Hideo Kojima is also a person who likes purity very much. He also said that he went back because one of his game designs had not been completed before.
Yuxiu Yoshiro persuaded, "Don't be too rush, I'm not in a hurry to ask for that game design, it's good to get together with everyone."
However, Hideo Kojima shook his head and refused.
Seeing Kojima being so persistent, Tamahiko Yoshiro no longer insisted, but because Kojima came by the company's car, everyone was going to Kabukicho, and the famous Kabukicho here is not close to this restaurant. One of the cars will definitely be given to Jester. If one of them is distributed to take Kojima Hideo back, then this time the car will not be enough.
Taxi is not easy to use in this place. Tsuhiro Yoshiro called a taxi driver he often contacted and asked. Unexpectedly, today is the 60th birthday of the taxi driver. Now he is celebrating his father's birthday at home, so he can't come at all.
Hideo Kojima didn't want to delay so many people's time, and he had something to do when he went back. If he went back too late, he wouldn't be able to do anything, so he said directly: "I'll walk for a while and wait for a while to take the tram. Anyway, the nearest stop sign is not far from here."
However, as soon as he finished speaking, Tamahiro directly denied his suggestion.
"How can you do it? The nearest stop sign is not far from here, but there are no stop signs near the place where you live. It's five or six kilometers away. When is it time for you to walk back?"
At this time, Jester was also very interested in Hideo Kojima, the person who is known as the most talented designer in the future, so he said directly: "This is it. Give me the car, no need to send a driver. Before I came, I changed my international driver's license and I sent him back. Just as he knew the road, he could be a guide for me. By the way, your name is..."
Hearing that his oss was about to send him back, Hideo Kojima suddenly bowed with fear and thought that Jester didn't know his name, so he quickly spoke and said before Jester: "Hideo Kojima. My name is Hideo Kojima, please take care of him!"
Jester smiled dismissively, and waved his hand and said, "I know your name is Hideo Kojima. President Tatsuhiro, who recruited you in, introduced me to me and said you are very talented."
"Thank you!" Hearing Jester's praise, Hideo Kojima bowed excitedly again.
A Toyota Crown business sedan was driving on the road with neon lights. Seeing that Japan was not inferior to the prosperity of the United States, Jester also lamented the brilliant achievements made by Japan's post-war reconstruction. Although his soul was a mainlander. He was born with hostility towards Japan, he still sincerely admired the extraordinary achievements. The golden decade completed by the Showa generation is indeed the greatest miracle in the history of human economy.
However, Jester knew that this prefix, known as the greatest economic miracle, which was constantly circulated by the Japanese, would be replaced by the mainland's reform and opening up decades later.
Moreover, Jester also knew that under this prosperity, Japan's strength in manufacturing has angered many countries. Especially its sovereign state, if its memory is not biased, in September this year, the United States will join forces with three other G5 member states to force Japan to sign a square agreement, and then the time for shearing the wool has arrived.
According to Americans, if sheep are fattened, isn’t it just for killing to eat?
Thinking of this, Jester also felt that using the Plaza Agreement to hype the yen was a good way to make money quickly, but it was still early and there was no need to worry. Moreover, his grandfather's friend is still at home. After he returned to China this time, he went to New York to meet the future Wall Street tycoon. Based on Jester's understanding of him, he would never allow himself to waste his life like this.
And the Plaza Agreement is obviously a very good opportunity.
Are there any shrewd people among the Japanese? Can't these people see the insidiousness of the Plaza Agreement? Do you know what traps are there? No, but just like the time when Lu Zhengxiang sighed to the sky after the signing of the Paris contract after the end of World War I, a weak country has no diplomacy. Although Japan's economic growth has become the second largest in the world and has so much money that he can even buy the entire United States, in the eyes of the real powers of the United States, he is a weak country, a weak country that does not even have his own national defense force.
Hideo Kojima sat in the back seat and looked at Jester who was driving from time to time. He liked to play games and preferred to watch movies, so he was very familiar with Jester. He said he might not be an idol, but when a game fan saw a producer who could only be longed for when playing games, he was a little excited. In fact, Hideo Kojima wanted to ask some questions about game design in the restaurant before, but the other party was Oss, and he was just an intern. The seniors present wanted to get close to Oss, but he was not qualified to chat with him.
At this time, Jester saw through the rearview mirror on the roof of the car that Hideo Kojima was sitting in the back row, and immediately knew that the other party might be because of restraint, so he just smiled distractedly and spoke on his own initiative.
"I just heard from President Yuxiu that you are studying economics in college?"
When I heard Jester suddenly ask, Hideo Kojima, who was a little distracted before, shook his body first and returned to his senses, and then said embarrassedly: "Yes, but I don't like economics, and I didn't transfer to the department, so I haven't studied this major much in the past few years in college."
"Haha." Jester smiled first, just about to say something, but when he saw an intersection ahead, he spoke and asked, "Where is turning ahead?"
After hearing this, Hideo Kojima looked up and then pointed to the left, and said in his mouth.
As soon as Jester opened the steering wheel, the car turned towards the direction Hideo Kojima said, and then he continued to ask: "No wonder President Yuxiu said that your university evaluation is not good. If you apply for an administrative or business position, President Yuxiu may have passed you directly. Fortunately, he took a look at it more, but unexpectedly, you, a student in the economics department, would actually apply for game development."
When he heard Jester lead the conversation to game development, Hideo Kojima's interest suddenly arose.
He was not as reserved as he was at the beginning and became active. He said embarrassedly: "The teacher didn't change majors for me, and I was not interested in economics, so I let them go. I basically haven't attended a few classes in the past three years."
"Oh?" Jester first asked curiously, "Then what have you done in college in the past three years?"
"Writing a novel!"
Speaking of what he had done in college, as long as he didn't talk about economics, Hideo Kojima was also very good at it. In fact, no one paid attention to his novels, and he also read them to his friends and classmates. They had no good impression of Hideo Kojima who participated in club activities outside all day, so some people didn't even read them and replied directly that the writing was very bad.
Although this was a bit of a blow to Hideo Kojima, it made him more confident that he must write an excellent novel to make everyone admire him.
When Jester heard Hideo Kojima say that he had written a novel, he was a little surprised. He really didn't know Hideo Kojima had this experience. He only knew that Hideo Kojima liked movies very much. He finally chose to engage in the game industry because he wanted to make the game as exquisite and excellent as movies, and that his ideas and ideas could be expressed more perfectly in the game.
However, when he heard Hideo Kojima talking about the novel he wrote, he looked excited, and Jester became a little curious. He knew that the plots of the Qianlong Spy Shadow in later generations were written by Hideo Kojima. He could write such a classic plot. The novels he wrote must be very good. Moreover, he had never heard of Hideo Kojima before as a writer, so Jester asked tentatively: "Are you aspiring to become a writer?"
Unexpectedly, when Hideo Kojima shook his head when he heard Jester's words.
"No, I don't want to be a writer. I use novels to express my ideas, but this cannot achieve the visualization of my hopes. I wanted to be a director before, but, you know, Japan is not the United States, the film industry is not that developed, and the cost of movies is not something I can afford, so..."
Hideo Kojima didn't finish speaking, but Jester had already guessed that he continued to follow Hideo Kojima's words: "So you chose to make games?"
"Yes?" Hideo Kojima nodded solemnly.
Then he said with a very serious expression: "I want to express my thoughts in the form of games that I cannot express in my words."
"So why did you choose Mars Entertainment? You know, we are not a Japanese company, and we will definitely be rejected by those Japanese game companies. You are not afraid of being criticized? For example, see a Japanese person helping Americans to crack down on their own companies!" Jester continued to ask in a curious tone. He also heard the recruitment problems that Yu Hideyoshi just mentioned to him. Not only those who have worked in the industry for several years and have deep R&D experience will not easily leave the company that he has worked for a long time, and even those best Japanese graduates are not the choice for their own company.
Although their Mars Entertainment is much more famous than Japanese game developers such as K-She, Namco, Hudson, etc., and you can even say that they are not on the same level as you, these elite Japanese graduates who like electronic games still rush to those Japanese companies and can only recruit some of the remaining ones from others.
