Rebirth of Hong Kong’s Glorious Era - Chapter 116
Early the next morning, Li Wansui got up full of energy, and asked the hotel waiter to bring up the black suit that was handed to them for ironing last night, and carefully repaired the shape of the stubble that he had left on purpose these days. Growing a beard makes you look older. After finishing the instrument, I went out in high spirits.
White shirt, tie, black suit, leather shoes, stubborn stubble, plus Li Wansui’s mature and confident temperament, tall and straight posture, 1.83 meters tall, and some handsome face, all the way to let countless Japanese in the hotel The girl’s gaze.
The hotel he stayed in cost 1,200 Hong Kong dollars a night and was a five-star hotel. The hotel provides a short-distance shuttle service. Li Wansui called a car at the hotel and went towards Nintendo.
At 8:50, Li Wansui and translator Wang Hua met at the gate of Nintendo headquarters on time.
Taking a casual look, in front of the door of a light brown seven-storey building, there is a sign “Nintendo Co., Ltd.” written in traditional Chinese characters.
Li Wansui was a little emotional. This time he came to Nintendo to find out if the other party had started to study the red and white machine. In his mind, the classic games developed by Nintendo, “Super Mario”, flashed involuntarily. “Contra”, “Pokemon”, “Dragon Quest”, “The Legend of Zelda” and so on, these games will become products of their own company.
He still remembered a report he read in his previous life. In fiscal year 2017, Nintendo’s annual sales were $9.659 billion, ranking 167th in the Fortune Global 500.
Li Wansui felt some pity for Nintendo in front of him. Originally a good Japanese company, it had to make games if it didn’t do well, and it was so famous that he had played these classic games himself. It’s alright now, to be targeted by the transmigrator, sooner or later, it will be the life of bankruptcy.
“Brother Sui, Brother Sui, what are you thinking, so absorbed, it’s almost time, let’s go in.” Wang Hua on the side interrupted Li Wansui’s imagination and woke him up.
Raising his hand, it was ten past nine, and Li Wansui said perfunctorily, “Oh, I didn’t think anything, I felt a little emotional, let’s go, let’s go in.”
After speaking, he walked into the lobby of Nintendo first, and said to a Japanese girl at the company’s front desk, “Hello, I am Li Wansui, the representative of the delegation from Hong Kong University of Technology, and I came to visit Mr. Hiroshi Yamauchi. Please tell me on your behalf. Next, I am here this time for the cooperation between our school and your company.” After speaking, Li Wansui took out the bilingual identification documents started by Heung Kong Polytechnic Institute and handed it to the front desk. The certificate clearly states the identity of Li Wansui, the representative of the Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute’s delegation to Japan, Li Wansui.
Wang Hua, who was on the side, simultaneously translated what Li Wansui said.
The ‘Hiroshi Yamauchi’ to meet by name this time is the president of Nintendo, and Li Wansui will know this person in future generations. Hiroshi Yamauchi is a well-known Japanese entrepreneur, known for his tough, authoritarian, and iron-fisted rule.
The little girl at the front desk was also confused, but Li Wansui was here on behalf of the university, so she didn’t dare to neglect, and immediately called the president’s secretary. After a while, a young woman in her 30s came over. .
The young woman walked in front of Li Wansui, bowed first, and said, “Hello, I’m the secretary to the president, Masako Akita, it’s a pleasure to meet you. Li Jun, our chairman is currently in a meeting, please wait a moment. Why don’t you go to the reception room to rest first?”
Li Wansui nodded with a smile, followed Akita Masako to the reception room with an interpreter.
Akita Masako poured two cups of tea and went to work first.
Li Wansui breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he could see Hiroshi Yamauchi, the trick he had carefully prepared this time would be half successful.
I also felt a little bit of emotion in my heart. The identity of the university delegation is really useful. It should have nothing to do with the current size of Nintendo’s company to meet Hiroshi Yamauchi so smoothly.
After waiting patiently for a while, the door of the conference room suddenly opened, and an old man in his 50s pushed in, his hair was meticulously combed, and every step he took was almost the same distance. At first glance, he was a serious person. The whole body also revealed an aura of self-respect, giving people a feeling of living on top of others for a long time.
Li Wansui’s heart tightened. Although he had a feeling of disgust for the Japanese, he would not bring this emotion into his work, not to mention that the other party was Hiroshi Yamauchi, who created Nintendo’s glory, and immediately got up and said, “Hirau Yamauchi. Hello sir, it’s an honor to meet you.”
Wang Hua on the side translates at the same time.
Hiroshi Yamauchi also smiled, stretched out his hand and shook Li Wansui, and said, “Hello, Li Jun, I’m very curious about your purpose this time.” He spoke straight to the point, not as euphemistic as ordinary Japanese.
Li Wansui sat down with a smile, and said, “Mr. Yamauchi, I came to your company for inspection this time, in fact, for the cooperation between you and me.” Kidnapped two talents from Nintendo.
Hiroshi Yamauchi wondered in his heart that his Nintendo and the Hong Kong Institute of Technology could not fight, so what kind of cooperation could there be. However, he had a gully in his chest, so he didn’t follow suit. He raised his hand and motioned for Li Wansui to continue. This behavior made Li Wansui feel like his subordinate.
When Li Wansui saw that Hiroshi Yamauchi was holding the air, he began to curse in his heart. When normal people hear Li Wansui talking about cooperation, they must ask how to cooperate. However, Hiroshi Yamauchi is also a capable person, so he put on airs like this, either because of habit, looking down on himself and Hong Kong Institute of Technology, or deliberately taking the air to gain the initiative to talk, giving himself a sense of psychological oppression.
However, Li Wansui had no motives at all, so he came with the intention of deceiving people, suppressing the distracting thoughts in his heart, and said: “This time I represent the school and plan to visit Japan and the United States, focusing on the inspection of game companies. , to see if we can cooperate in terms of talents. Now the game industry has just emerged, and with the introduction of a new generation of game consoles by Atari in 1977, the entire game industry has developed rapidly. Our school is determined to create a world-class university. , and it is also a science and engineering school. Although Xiangjiang does not have a game industry, how can we not pay attention to the development in this area.”
Li Wansui picked up the teacup, took a sip of water, glanced at Hiroshi Yamauchi, who had no expression on his face, and continued: “So our school has conducted research and found that there is a serious shortage of talents in the game industry, and companies are worried about talents. Therefore, our school intends to Cultivating professionals in the game industry, I hope to reach a talent transfer agreement with some companies in the industry. The content is that these companies provide us with first-hand industry trends, and provide some technical support in the training of talents, so as to avoid us Working behind closed doors to cultivate a batch of semi-finished products, it is best to enable students to take up certain tasks in various game companies as soon as they graduate. In return, we will give priority to recommending students to work in these companies under the same conditions. Of course, considering that the four-year university is too long, we are going to open night training courses for employed students and students with a certain programming foundation. The training period is one year, and only game-related knowledge is taught, and targeted training is so efficient. Very high. My visit to Nintendo this time is to see if your company intends to adopt such cooperation. With your company’s help, we can cultivate a group of game talents with high professional quality, and your company can give priority to recruiting these talents. “
Li Wansui finished these words unhurriedly. UU reading www.uukanshu.com waited for Wang Hua to finish the translation, and then took another look at Hiroshi Yamauchi’s face. Seeing that he was a little excited at this time, he continued: “School Arranged me to go to Japan and the United States. I personally feel that Japan and Hong Kong belong to the Chinese cultural circle and are deeply influenced by Chinese culture. Many habits of the two places are similar, so my first stop came to Japan, and your company is a rookie in the game industry. So I came to Nintendo for the first time, looking forward to a good result.”
After he finished speaking, he kept his mouth shut, smiled and nodded with Hiroshi Yamauchi, and kept drinking from the teacup.
Hiroshi Yamauchi digested the information revealed by Li Wansui, and his mood was a little ups and downs. Those who are engaged in some development now are basically monks, and they switch to self-study in the middle. There is no school in Japan that specializes in cultivating game talents, and the company is also very recruiting. It is difficult to recruit, basically recruit some novice, and then gradually cultivate, such as recruiting some toy designers, people who have no basic knowledge, are slowly led by the master, and only after a few years can they be competent for the job.
He calmed down and asked: “Li Jun, your school’s vision is too keen, indeed, talents in the game industry are very rare, and all companies rely on their own recruitment of artificial blood. If your school is in Japan, I am Hiroshi Yamauchi. Immediately agreed, asking people to give people, asking for money for money, as long as you can provide qualified talents, but your school is in Hong Kong, do not mention the language barrier, just say that students are willing to come to Japan after graduation?”
