Okawa Kou felt that he had to talk to his old friend.

My health is not good, but Sega's reforms have come to the time to do it.

The internal rectification of Mars Entertainment was also very effective before. In fact, Sega is similar to Mars Entertainment, but this aspect is a little more serious.

But Mars Entertainment has sufficient capital flow, and they can solve these things just after some small twists and turns, but they can't do it themselves.

Fund flow is the most important thing. As long as there is sufficient funds in the company, any danger can be overcome.

Okawa Kou knew the difficulty of this matter, but he had a deep relationship with Sega. He didn't want to see the company fall down in his hands. Moreover, the current situation for Sega is really as Zhuge Liang said in his memorial. This is a critical situation.

At the end of the meeting, Okawa Kou and Nakayama exchanged glances with each other, and Nakayama Nodded, and he understood the meaning of his old friend's eyes.

This meeting did not discuss any results.

There was endless disputes, and it seemed that everyone was evading the topic of integrating Sega's secondary development department. Of course, there was another heavier topic that no one mentioned, that is, how long will Sega go on the road to gaming hardware?

In an elegantly furnished lounge.

Okawa Kou and Nakayama Shinoo sat opposite each other, their eyes were looking at each other. For these two old friends who had been together for many years, their tacit understanding was no longer necessary.

"My condition may not allow me to last for a long time."

The first sentence of the two of them was to start with a sentence from Kokoto Okawa who introduced his physical condition, but there was no sign of fear in his voice. After hearing this, Shinto Nakayama just nodded silently. He knew that his old friend's physical condition was indeed much worse than before.

"Actually, when I was young, I suffered from very serious tuberculosis. If it weren't for God's favor, I might not be as good as I am now."

Okawa Kou couldn't hear that he was already a seriously ill old man. Instead, he had some memories of the past: "In fact, when I attended this meeting, my family members disagreed with it, and so did my doctor. They suggested that I should stay in the hospital for cultivation. My physical condition no longer allowed me to deal with these excessively exhausted things."

Shizuo Nakayama nodded without saying a word. He knew about the other party’s past. When he was young, Okawa Kou suffered from severe tuberculosis. After more than eight years of fighting against the disease, he finally recovered.

He knew that his old friend was also his old boss, and he really had a lot of feelings for Sega. Although Sega is a big company, compared with Okawa Kou's career, this is only part of it. He is the president of CKK, and Sega is a subsidiary of CKK.

"As soon as our statement comes out this year, our stock price may have problems. If something really happens that we don't want to see then, so I planned to spend 50 billion yen to maintain Sega's stock price. I don't want to see Sega, a company that I have devoted all my life to, and an accident happened..."

Okawa Kou's tone was very plain when he spoke, but there was no doubt about it.

Nakayama Shizuo has a deep understanding of his old friend's personality and philosophy. The other party is the kind of person who implements and follows the concept of "the career is only a generation, and what you get from the career should be re-invested into the career."

Many years ago, a few of their old friends chatted about their inheritance while having dinner together. Most people would say they would donate part of it. Only Kokoto said at the time that he would donate all his inheritance to the place where he needed it most, because he believed that what he got from his career would be fed back to his career. Career is the business of one generation, and what kind of career the next generation can achieve is the business of the next generation.

At that time, all their old friends thought Okawa Kou was joking.

However, only Nakayama Shinoo knew that his old friend was not joking, but that he said it was his true thoughts.

"I set up a foundation to deal with my legacy..." Hearing his old friend say such disheartening words from the legacy, Shinto Nakayama wanted to interrupt the other party, but Okawa Kou waved his hand and signaled him to continue.

"I'm very worried about Sega."

When Okawa Kou talked about his body, his tone was optimistic, as if he had seen through life, but when talking about Sega, his tone became sad.

"Sega is actually in the same physical condition as me now, but he is better and can still be saved. I know my body myself and may not last long, so I want to talk to you today about how Sega should go about the future." After a morning meeting, Koko Okawa was already a little tired.

After all, I am old and have serious illnesses.

Shinto Nakayama wanted to propose that he would be here for the time being today and talk about it tomorrow, but Okawa Kou denied his proposal.

"Sega can no longer delay any more. Today's meeting shows a lot of things. Everyone knows Sega's current situation, but they always care about him. Yu Suzuki is a very pure game developer. I can understand that he doesn't know Sega's situation, but what about other people? Old friend, if I continue to sit on this, Sega will really be ruined in my hands."

This was very touching to Dakawa Kou.

Shikio Nakayama was speechless. He was also very clear about Sega's current financial situation and internal chaos. It was really on the verge of not breaking or establishing. If it was not broken, Sega would really fall.

This is not only Dachuan Gong's lifelong hard work, but also his lifelong hard work.

But he couldn't do such a selfless way as Okawa.

"I have been thinking about one thing, that is, is it a mistake for us to do DC? When we were in Sega Saturn, our dilemma was very obvious. At that time, we still felt that this was just a deviation when we predicted the future game development pattern. We thought that although it would be a matter of time before 3D games replaced 2D games, the early 3D games still could not match 2D games because of the rough picture."

"So, in the development of ss, we adhere to the development strategy that focuses on 2D pictures."

"But reality taught us a good lesson."

"President Li of Mars Entertainment has a miraculous vision of the game industry that others cannot understand. His eyes seem to be able to see through the future. He even prefers to release consoles one year later for better 3D effects. We have been immersed in this industry for many years, and we all know what this decision represents."

"This is a bet. The bet is very harsh."

"President Li thinks that 3D games will definitely replace the mainstream of 2D games in a short period of time, and we are the opposite. Even Sony's Kutaraki Ken may not have the confidence that President Li has in his 3D games."

"The winner of this last bet was President Li, and Mars Entertainment still dominated the entire industry in the previous console generation."

"But the situation is different now. Sony has a new host with extremely powerful functions and DVD functions. President Li obviously saw the pressure brought to him by Sony, so he took out the hidden somatosensory system. What about us? There is nothing, just a host with stronger functions compared to the previous generation, and made some unremarkable changes."

"Indeed, the best and bad game consoles are more popular than games. Our R&D power is not weak, but what about Mars Entertainment? Their first-party capabilities are several times that of us. Sony has been building first-party for ten years and has achieved great results and has considerable development capabilities. What about third-party? The number of third-party Sony in Japan and Mars Entertainment in Europe and the United States is not something we can compete with. In the first-party and third-party, we have no advantages. In the host, we have obvious disadvantages."

“We still have dc.”

"What we can do is to let the DC be released in advance, hoping to take advantage of the time to complete the underlying accumulation of sales first."

“Is this really useful?”

"Did you forget how we did it on Saturn? We still sold the console for one year than Mars Entertainment, and we still have a very big sales advantage in this year. But what happened next?"

Speaking of this, Okawa Gong's expression became a little dim.

The battle between the three consoles in the previous generation was originally thought to be a shocking battle of the century, just like the Mars Entertainment collided with Nintendo's Mars, but unfortunately, Mars Entertainment proved it with their unparalleled strength. At least in this field, they have no opponents.

"We did Shenmu and hoped that he would become "Hao Hero", but just like Yu Suzuki told us, DreamWao 3's great success is not just a "Hao Hero". Let's talk about whether Shenmu can reach the height of "Hao Hero". Even if it reaches the height of "Hao Hero", we have our own Hideo Kojima, our own Hiroshinobu Sakaguchi, our own Nakayuji, and our own Miyamoto Shigeru?"

"Do we have phenomenal game games that are countless like Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Sonic, Super Balotelli, and Zelda? Do we have so much money to attract so many third-party development companies like Sony?"

"We don't have any of these, and we don't have any advantage."

“To be precise, we are a disadvantage, a very big disadvantage.”

"Just at the meeting just now, I sorted out all this and found that we are not smart enough to develop the DC. We don't have much time left for us. There is still about one year left. The release time of Sony and Mars Entertainment's new console has basically been determined. Ken Kutaraki said at the internal meeting of Sony Computer Entertainment that they will officially release their PS3 at the end of this year."

"The new president of Mars Entertainment, Satoshi Iwada, also mentioned that he has made sufficient preparations for the release of Dream Wave 4 at the end of the year."

"Although we were a year ahead of schedule, I am not so optimistic about our future situation now. If we still end like the last Saturn in a year, then Sega..."

The last few words Okawa Kou didn't say them, but without saying them, Nakayama Shizuo understood what he meant.

"If internal reforms are to be carried out now, the turmoil will be very serious, and the time left for us is very urgent. In a year, we need to occupy market share as much as possible. This is our only window period. To occupy market share, all we need is a large number of games to support. We have no advantages in third parties. Although Capcom promised to develop a "Resident Evil" for us, we don't know when they will be able to complete it."

"Our first party is the most important thing now. If we rectify it now, almost all our strength may be wasted in internal reforms, and it is difficult to develop many games. This year's vacant period was wasted by us."

After Nakayama Hayao finished speaking, Okawa Kou fell into a long silence.

The reason why both of them were unwilling to mention this matter at the meeting before was that this matter was that if this matter was forced to proceed, then the struggle between the seven subsidiaries would not have to do anything this year.

"If the situation is not optimistic in a year, what's the use of us to carry out this kind of integration?"

Okawa Kou's voice was low.

Shinto Nakayama shook his head: "Old friend, do you think it's useless to make rectifications now?" This remarkable question was sharp, and Okawa Kou suddenly became speechless.

"I really want to take that step?"

After being silent for a long time, Okawa Kou first asked this question, but his tone was hesitant and it seemed difficult to make a decision.

But Shiroo nodded.

"It's a very difficult decision. We have been working on game consoles for more than ten years, and it's time to quit."

Okawa Kou thought silently about this sentence from Nakayama Hayao.

For half an hour, the two of them didn't say a word until Okawa Gong's voice rang again, his tone was full of fatigue.

"Wait for another year, it's not bad for this year anyway. If we can still stick to it in a year, then we will stick to the DC and complete this generation. If we can't stick to it..."

"That's all."
