Chapter 935 Meeting an acquaintance again(2/2)
The man's strong, bulging muscles held up the already oversized suit, which looked terrifying.
The 185cm tall Mouri Kogoro looked up at this giant man, his mouth slightly opened in shock.
Among the Japanese, he is already considered very tall, but in front of this person, he seems to be stunted.
Conan had to raise his head, with equally surprised eyes.
As soon as these people came out of the corner, Conan noticed this person.
It's just that at that time, Conan thought this was a foreign bodyguard hired by Suzuki Jirokichi, but he didn't expect that he was actually the CEO of a technology company. Really, a person cannot be judged by his appearance.
Mao Lilan was also surprised. They said that Europeans and Americans like to eat meat and generally have strong bodies, but looking like this is too...
Only Qin Zhibo was the most uncertain, simply because he had seen this person before at the American press conference of the "Cocoon" game.
Walter Marsh Jr., a descendant of the Innsmouth Marsh family with a power of 100, is committed to developing drugs to treat "deep dive syndrome". He is also related to Baijiu Pharmaceutical, where Haibara Ai's parents first worked.
At this time, Suzuki Sonoko also began to introduce the people she brought.
"These two are the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, the famous detective Qin Zhibo, Xiaolan, and Conan. They were all invited by me to capture Kaito Kidd."
In this formal occasion, Suzuki Sonoko was very measured and said that she was here to help arrest someone.
"Okay, you guys."
"Hello."×3
Walter Marsh Jr. nodded and said hello to everyone in broken Japanese, and the Maori family did not dare to neglect and also said hello in return.
During this period, Walter Marsh Jr. glanced at Qin Zhibo who was silent.
Qin Zhibo noticed this, but he was not worried about being recognized because he used the identity of "Michael" at the game conference.
Walter Marsh Jr. walked up to the Golden Goddess Statue, and while gazing deeply at the statue, he introduced the statue in English.
"This is an important treasure of our family. It expresses my ancestors' admiration and worship for the Lord of the Deep Sea. It also carries the history of the Marsh family's development and growth relying on the metallurgical industry."
"If Mr. Suzuki hadn't spoken this time, I would have been reluctant to part with such an important family treasure..."
Suzuki Jirokichi walked to the side with a smile and also tried to persuade him in English: "I know, I know..."
"But rather than letting the important treasure gather dust in the safe, it is better to let it become the glory that everyone admires again. Besides, the world-famous thief has already taken the bait..."
Walter Marsh Jr. and Suzuki Jirokichi communicated in fluent English, leaving Mouri Kogoro and Mouri Ran, two half-learners in English, confused and could only stand there as if they were minions.
Conan understood their conversation and stopped pretending. He turned to Suzuki Sonoko and asked, "Sister Sonoko, since it is such an important family treasure, why did Mr. Marsh sell it to Uncle Jiroji?"
Sonoko bent down and whispered to Conan and others, "Actually, Uncle Jiroji bought this golden statue not with money, but with the priority distribution rights of the Cocoon game console~"
"Cocoon Game Console?"
Conan and others were startled for a moment before they remembered that the cross-generational game console launch event not long ago almost caused a catastrophe of the century and almost destroyed the second-generation game console that carries Japan's future.
Since the accident at the press conference, the Suzuki Consortium, the largest investor, has also argued hard to retain relevant core technologies and minimize losses.
But this will have to wait until the technology passes safety inspections before U.S. companies can prioritize the development of related products and put them on the market.
If the Suzuki Consortium wants to develop products using this technology, it must wait until the 20-year patent protection period expires.
What Walter Marsh Jr. exchanged for family treasures was the priority distribution rights for future related products equipped with "Cocoon" game technology.
Conan understood the meaning and suddenly felt that Suzuki Jirokichi was the one who suffered the loss.
If that cross-generational game could be re-released, its value would be immeasurably huge, and even Japan's largest game company Mantendo would have to make way for it.
Qin Zhibo on the side also felt that this was a hugely profitable deal for Walter Marsh Jr.
Moreover, Walter Marsh Jr. may be different from the elders of the Marsh family. He no longer has any respect for the god in the sea.
Cthulhu, right...
But when it comes to game consoles, Qin Zhibo thinks of one more thing.
He pulled Yuanzi aside and asked quietly, "Yuanzi, how is the repair of the 'Cocoon' game console now?"
Yuanzi was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered what he had been asked to do not long ago.
