Chapter 359: When the wall falls, everyone pushes it; when the drum is broken, thousands of people beat it!
Itosuke!
There are fifty five this year. It is the year of fighting. Although the appearance looks slightly blessed, looks very good, and often a smile, but the ambition is extremely vully.
As one of the eight directors of Comella, he owns a very considerable share of the stock, which is enough to give him great decision-making power over most of the company's affairs.
In fact, logically speaking, as a shareholder, Itosuke should not contact a studio director like Nakamura Masaichi even if there is something that needs to be discussed.
Even though he is the most powerful and uncrowned king among the three royal families.
Directors on the board of directors usually go directly to Yue Jingzheng if they have any matters.
but!
Itosuke now happened to meet Nakamura Masaichi.
and!
Among the remaining seven directors excluding Joetsu Keimasa, there are not a few who have personal contacts with company executives like him.
The biggest reason for the current situation can be traced back to last year’s Dongjin Game Festival.
In the last Tojin Game Festival, Golden Wind defeated their "Torii" that Comora spent heavily on with their "Sekiro".
The repeated mistakes and losses have caused the board of directors to have great doubts about the ability and judgment of Kamigoshi Keimasa.
And to this!
Shangyue Jingzheng naturally also has a very clear self-understanding—
Either survive with a broken arm, or step down directly.
Therefore, in order to keep his position and to retire smoothly, Kamigoshi Keimasa had no choice but to use the method of "abandoning his **** to save his commander" and replaced him as one of the directors of Pinnacle Studio at the time. Koizumi, as well as Moritani, who serves as the managing director of the game affairs department, pushed out.
At the same time, he himself made a move to retreat in order to advance. He took advantage of the fact that Comella's talents were withered and no one could make great use of them. He threatened the board of directors with resignation and kept him in charge of the overall situation, thus saving the company. own position as president.
Indeed!
In this way, Keimasa Kamigoshi’s position as president is preserved.
But the people on the board of directors are not fools. Although they don't say anything about what Kamigoshi Keimasa does, they are all dissatisfied, even disgusted.
So, after this incident, the seven major shareholders on the board of directors also took action one after another and began to support their own spokespersons. When the time is right, they will get rid of Kamigoshi Keimasa and take the helm of Camera.
And Nakamura is the spokesperson whom Itosuke secretly supports.
Yes.
Although a "Night Owl" turned the tide, Nakamura relied on his own ability to recreate Sekiro and pulled Comela out of the haze of the failure of "Torii".
However, there are countless studios under Comella. If Ito hadn't helped, Nakamura would not have stood out from all the studios so quickly and become one of the three major studios. Even in such a short period of time, he could have surpassed the other two studios. , has the potential to become the "head of the three imperial families".
As for the eight directors on the board of directors, why are there only seven directors who secretly support the president’s successor?
That is naturally because Kamegoshi Kagemasa has no one under his command.
Although the strategy of abandoning soldiers to protect the commander is effective, it is an act of killing the goose to obtain the eggs. Under such circumstances, if there are still people who are willing to work diligently and loyally for him, it can only prove that there is something wrong with the brain of the person who surrendered. , for fear that he would not die fast enough or roll far enough.
Perhaps it is not necessarily true that those who have gained the Tao will be more helpful.
But it is an eternal truth that the unjust will have little help.
"…Um."
After listening to a series of reports from Masaichi Nakamura, Ito also nodded slowly, pondered for a moment, and his mind was spinning rapidly.
In fact, he was unwilling to let Nakamura take this risk.
After all, nowadays, he is not the only one supporting the spokesperson.
Although currently, the board of directors group that supports Nakamura Masaichi includes him, and there are three people in total. They are considered an interest group with a greater chance of winning.
But don’t forget, besides them, there are four other directors, divided into two groups, who also support their own people.
They are Camera Chief Financial Officer Sawajiri, who is supported by Ono and Uehara, and Inoue, Camera’s new gaming affairs department managing director, who is supported by Yoshida and Aoki.
Yes.
Today's Comella is becoming increasingly complex as the time for Kagemasa Kametsu to take office is getting shorter and shorter.
The directors of the board of directors each have their own spokesmen to support for their own future interests and to gain a greater voice within the group.
At present, generally speaking, the position of president of the next generation of Comella falls on three people.
Sawajiri, Inoue, and now Nakamura who came to ask for help.
2-2-3 split formation.
The current power of Ito can be said to have a certain advantage, so he is unwilling to make mistakes at such a juncture.
After all, no one can guarantee whether "Yexia Island" will be successful or not.
But then I thought again!
etc…
Who says that the failure of "Yexia Island" must be a bad thing?
Ito recalled the time when Kagema Kamigoshi abandoned his **** to save his commander during the Sekiro incident.
Why couldn't he take this incident as an opportunity to push Kageshi Kamigoshi out as a **** to fight the pot, so that Nakamura could quickly rise to power?
After all, the release of the game is not decided by Nakamura Masaichi. Whether "Yexia Island" will be released on the exhibition, in the final analysis, the decision-making power is not in the hands of Kamigoshi Keimasa.
What?
You said that Joey Keimasa has taken the initiative to cancel the exhibition arrangement of "Yexia Island" and actively avoided the Golden Wind in order to protect himself and prevent another disastrous defeat?
Ito’s eyes flashed.
To know.
Many times, the decisions made by the president cannot be finalized by him alone.
You are timid and seeking stability, and you will pull down "Yexia Island" just because you said it would be pulled down?
Have you asked the board of directors?
Now, the Dongjin Game Festival is about to start, and we have a total of five participating games. Let me ask you -
…
“…This time, which game will we feature? President Joetsu?”
Just at the meeting about the work arrangement of this Dongjin Game Festival in Comella!
It’s almost the end of the meeting! As one of the directors of the board of directors, Itosuke suddenly became angry and pretended to be unintentional in questioning Uegoshi Keimasa.
The arrangement is good.
There are five games, two are slightly larger and two are slightly smaller, including new games and sequels.
Especially Nishikawa and Takasugi who are participating in this exhibition. As two of the three royal families, one focuses on sports games and the other focuses on racing. The quality of the works presented this time is also pretty good, with innovation and inheritance. In addition, the timing is right and there are no too difficult opponents in the market, so the effect and response should be good.
but!
Where is our main product?
Ito’s soul question also reminded other directors.
Everyone turned their inquiring eyes to Shang Yue Jingzheng.
Yes!
Although the quality of the games produced by two of the three companies this time is very good.
But in terms of volume, it is difficult for two games that fluctuate around 150 million U.S. dollars to support the mainstay.
Moreover, judging from the current market situation, shooting and action games are king.
You know, this is a game expo held at our doorstep. As a front-end company of the host country, we can’t even feature a single exhibitor?
“Ah this…”
Hearing this, Kamigoshi Kage's heart skipped a beat!
Whatever you are afraid of will come to you!
Of course he knows that it is very inappropriate to participate in an exhibition without a main attraction!
But he had no choice!
"Yexia Island" is now colliding with "Call of Duty" again. Both are shooting games. What can he do under the offensive of Golden Wind? !
It's nothing more than waving the flag and surrendering, forcibly moving "Yexia Island" after "Call of Duty" to avoid being beaten to pieces again!
But now, the board of directors has brought this matter up for further questioning!
For a moment, Kamigoshi Kage was speechless.
After all, the original board of directors never bothered with such detailed arrangements!
But since the last Dongjin Game Festival, the board of directors has disliked him, and this dislike has intensified with the failure of Silent Hill 2 again!
Everyone on the current board of directors has someone they want to support, and they hope he dies early so that their own people can take the helm of the company!
When a wall falls down, many people push it; when a drum is broken, thousands of people beat it.
Seeing that Uegoshi Kei was stuck, on the other side, the female director Uehara also spoke, seemingly unintentionally, but with hidden edge:
“Does President Joetsu have any concerns?”
As soon as this statement came out!
The air in the entire conference room was condensed!
In an instant, Kamegoshi Keimasa’s face became extremely ugly!
Does he have any concerns?
Nonsense!
If he had no concerns, how could he have withdrawn "Yexia Island" at such a critical time, which cost 300 million to produce?
And Uehara obviously knew what he was asking!
The atmosphere froze instantly, and the seven directors all looked up at Yue Jingzheng.
Dead silence.
In this deathly silence, Kamigoshi Kagemasa felt for the first time that the end was approaching.
Since when did you become the target of public criticism, and was in danger of the collapse of the building?
Is it the disappearance from "Silent Hill 2"?
Or from the complete failure of "Torii"?
Or did it start further back when "Silent Hill" was crushed by "Outlast"?
The human heart is not enough for a snake to swallow an elephant.
Perhaps today, when I made up my mind to kick away the golden wind and monopolize the benefits created by PT, I was already destined.
The majestic Comella!
Huge group!
The leader of Asia!
The Overlord of the East!
But now, as the leader, he was forced to die by a Chinese game company that started from half a million yuan!
Had I known this!
Why should he do it in the first place?
Until this very moment!
Kamigoshi Keimasa seems to have truly regretted the mistake he made back then!
It can change with time.
The mistakes caused by greed cannot be erased by a simple regret.
Once upon a time, he not only had the opportunity to retire in glory, but he might even join forces with Golden Wind to create a horror game myth unique to Asia, but he did not cherish it.
Today.
Just as Gu Sheng said before.
Even if he was willing to give up his fame and wealth, it would be extremely difficult for him to survive until retirement in peace.
This is huge pressure from the board of directors.
This is the coercion of the seven major directors who want him to fall.
Now, there is no one around him who is willing to take a bullet and risk his life for him.
He was like a small boat abandoned by the giant ship Comella. It was unclear whether he could reach the shore safely.
There was silence for nearly three minutes!
Finally!
Kageshi Kamigoshi took a deep breath!
Slowly and weakly, he replied:
“I don’t have any worries. I simply think that the preparations for "Yexia Island" are not particularly sufficient at the moment. However, if the two directors Ito and Uehara are willing to let it appear in this exhibition, then I..."
However!
Before he finishes speaking!
Ito frowned, secretly scolding Kamikoshi Kagemasa for daring to fight to the death, and interrupted:
“President Joetsu, you are at the helm of the company, so naturally you have to make the decision on this kind of thing,”
“We don’t know much about the details within the company. Doesn’t it mean that you don’t understand it either? Do you still need to rely on the opinions of laymen like us?”
I will force you to death!
**** it.
Ito cursed angrily in his heart.
You are so naughty that you want to drag me into the water even when you are about to die.
As soon as this statement came out!
When I saw Shang Yue Jingzheng, he froze up!
He opened his mouth but hesitated to speak!
Finally, I saw his Adam's apple twitching, and his whole person seemed to be several times older. He even spoke with some difficulty, and said desperately in an almost inaudible voice:
“No…it’s not…”
"I think the game "Yexia Island" has great potential, so I hereby apply to the directors to withdraw the decision to cancel the participation of "Yexia Island","
“Let “Yexia Island” participate in the Dongjin Game Festival exhibition and serve as the main work of our company in this exhibition..."
“Maximize resource tilt.”
