Chapter 403 Discussion of the Game Exhibition

Sid Meer was on the other end of the phone. I don’t know what Sid Meer replied, but it can be seen from the slightly satisfied look on Jester’s face that Sid Meer’s answer should be very satisfied.

After talking on the phone, Jester casually flipped through the architecture of "Age of Empires" that he had just completed a few days ago. Some of the things in it were written by himself according to the RTS game of later generations, and then used the current hardware conditions as reference.

I turned it around roughly, but I found no mistakes, so I closed the folder and threw it aside.

He looked down at the watch on his wrist again. The time was almost over. Jester also planned to attend the dinner at Hirai Ikki tonight. As the boss of Mars Entertainment, Jester was naturally invited. Of course, Jester also asked casually whether anyone invited Nintendo and Sega.

In response, the Sony employee who came to deliver the invitation letter just smiled and quickly replied: "Sega's is on the invitation list, but Nintendo's does not."

In fact, Jester's willingness to attend Kazuo Hirai's dinner today was not only to give Sony a face, but also wanted to discuss something else with Sony. Before this year, Jester had an idea about establishing a Game Federation Association and a Game Exhibition.

However, because many things have been delayed, I just want to take advantage of this opportunity to talk to Sony and Sega about this matter.

He has contacted some American game developers, such as ea, Xueleshan, Weizhen, etc. They are quite interested in this proposal. Not only what Jester said about the professional game exhibition, after all, they attend the consumer electronics exhibition every year, such an exhibition mainly based on electrical appliances, always feel like they are living under someone else's roof.

In fact, these companies have set up several small and special game exhibitions themselves, but they have not become very popular. Now that Jester wants to take the lead in organizing a group across the United States, they naturally raise their hands to welcome them.

Jester wants much bigger things than them. What Jester wants to do is not just a game exhibition in the United States or North America, but a game exhibition in Europe and Japan, plus North America.

Things in Europe are easy to do. Jester asked Claudia to do this before. When Jester talked to Claudia a few times, Claudia also said that it was going well. Game developers with basically a little influence in Europe are very interested in Jester's proposal.

The only thing to worry about is Japan. Its influence in Japan is not large enough and it cannot guarantee that most game development companies will participate.

Moreover, because of his relationship with Nintendo, Jester estimated that if this matter was organized by himself, Nintendo would definitely not participate, just like they refused to participate in the Japan Arcade Association. However, if he could convince Sega, and although he had just joined the game industry, he had a great influence in Japan, Sony.

With the consent of these two companies, even if Nintendo is thrown aside, then this thing can be done in a row.

Moreover, not talking about the relationship between Sega and Nintendo, just looking at the current relationship between Sony and Nintendo, Jester knew that his idea was still easy to realize.

The banquet of Hirai Ichio this time was held at a banquet hall in a five-star hotel in Los Angeles. He was held as the vice president and director of the marketing department of Sony Computer Entertainment North America Branch. Since there is no president position now, so for the time being, although Hirai Ichio is only the vice president, he exercises the rights of the president.

The banquet is very formal. Jester has always had no interest in such formulaic banquets. This is why he usually doesn't attend any banquets. If it weren't for the fact that there was something that needed to be discussed with Kusuo Koguchi and Kazuo Hirai this time, Jester wouldn't have attended such banquets.

Hirai Kazuo had obviously also had a very in-depth investigation into his biggest opponent in the future, the controller of Mars Entertainment and Mars Entertainment. He also knew very well that Jester Lee had never liked to attend such banquets. Although he sent an invitation to Jester, he actually didn't have much hope for whether Jester would attend.

But to his surprise, before the dinner began, he received the rule of his subordinates, and Jester had arrived at the banquet, which surprised Hirai Kazuo.

Even though Jester attended this banquet, he was sitting alone in the corner drinking alone. Although he was here to find Kazuo Hirai today to discuss something, he could not be too proactive. Moreover, based on his understanding of Kazuo Hirai and the current situation in which Sony is located, Jester also concluded that Kazuo Hirai would definitely come to find him.

Sure enough, after Kazuo Hirai finished speaking and announced the start of the banquet. How long did it take for the United States to walk towards Jester with a smile on his face.

What surprised Jester was the one who came with him was Xiaoguchi Kusato.

Jester also stood up and took the initiative to meet him, holding the hand of Hirai Ichio who had already reached out. After the two of them let go, Jester turned his head and looked at Kazuo Koguchi. The two companies were competing fiercely before. Kazuo Koguchi's previous price reduction strategy was aimed at Mars Entertainment, so he was still a little embarrassed when he saw Jester Lee.

However, the smile on Jester's face remained unchanged. After he took back his palm from Hirai Ichio, he reached over to Kusuo Xiaokou.

"Mr. Xiaokou, I admire your ability and vision." Jester said this from the bottom of the heart. After all, the price reduction strategy of the previous aristocratic family caused him great trouble. Even now, this trouble still exists. The price factor is like a lasso, which may be hung again on his neck at any time.

Although Jester's words were praised, there were still some thorns. And Kaguchi Naoto was also a smart person. Of course he could hear it, but this scene was not suitable for him to refute Jester's words, so he just smiled and did not respond.

When three people chat, as long as one of them really wants to continue chatting, they can quickly get into the state.

In a few words, Jester talked about his special world exhibition. Sega, represented by Hiroo Koguchi and Sony, represented by Kazuo Hirai, were naturally very interested in the topic mentioned by Jester, and only Jester and Mars Entertainment were qualified to talk about this topic.

Jester sighed intentionally and said in a depressed manner: "Actually, it was a good thing for the industry. I have basically agreed to the major game companies in North America and European game companies. They all said that this is a good thing, but what about Japan..."

Jester did not say anything about Japan clearly, but both Kusuo Koguchi and Kazuo Hirai were outstanding, so he naturally heard Jester's intentions.

"Does Nintendo disagree?"

Kusuo Koguchi asked, he knew the conflict between his boss, Shinto Nakayama and Hiroshi Yamauchi, so he had no good feelings for Nintendo. So, after Jester finished speaking, he thought of Nintendo immediately, and there was nothing more suitable for this matter except Nintendo.

Jester didn't say anything, but nodded quietly.

"My plan is to set up an association composed of our game companies to prepare for this matter. Moreover, we should set a standard for future games, just like the movie review system. There are too many games now, and it is too much of a bottom line."

Hearing Jester's words, Kusuo Koguchi and Kazuo Hirai nodded. Kazuo Hirai may have just read the information about this, but Kusuo Koguchi has a deep understanding of it because the current game market is very chaotic, and all kinds of uncontrolled games are everywhere on the market. Even Sega's platform has many, not to mention the most common PC platform.

Therefore, now many media, many officials, and many parents are jealous of their game developers.

Hirai Kazuo had never said anything. He seemed to be thinking about something after Jester spoke. After Koguchi Kuroo expressed his support for Jester's two proposals, he took the initiative to say: "I think if Nintendo does not want to form an organization that regulates the game industry with us, then we can set it up ourselves."

In this sentence, Hirai Kazuo used us. After hearing him talk about this, a strange look flashed in Jester and Koguchi Kusuo's eyes.

However, Jester smiled: "I have never talked about this with your headquarters. If you are really interested in this, please inform your respective headquarters. I personally hope to hold a special world-wide game exhibition within the year."

Setting rules is Sony's favorite thing to do, and even the headquarters agrees to join the electronic game market to fight. The more reason is the CD-rom standard right to speak. Hirai Kazuo knew that he only needed to mention the so-called World Electronic Games Association statement mentioned by Jester to the headquarters, and the headquarters would definitely agree immediately.

Moreover, the issue that Jester said about the fact that he had not agreed with Nintendo was probably not as he said.

Because no matter how deep the grudge between Nintendo and Mars Entertainment is, he will never give up the opportunity to set rules in the game industry. The biggest possibility is that Jester only talks about the game exhibition, but does not talk about the World Electronic Games Association.
