Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

   Chapter 278 The showdown of throwing money

   At this moment, such a photo is popular on the Internet in the United States.

  The wife of the then President of the United States was fiddling with something on the plane.

   That thing can be recognized immediately by players who are familiar with video games. It is the GB game console sold by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

  This handheld has a history of more than two years now. Thanks to its excellent game quality, as well as various characteristics of durable construction and amazing battery life, the sales performance has also reached an astonishing 20 million units.

Among them, Tetris is the most popular game, and this game is sold with the game console. If the statistics are strictly based on sales, Tetris is now 20 million in sales, the only one that can match it. It may be the Super Mario Bros. 1 bundled on FC.

  The President's wife can't resist the charm of the GB game console. This is the strongest publicity for game manufacturers, and you don't have to pay any advertising fees.

   And at the bottom of the photo, there is often a sentence attached, which is a half-joking remark from the president's wife: "I feel like I need to go to the hospital for GameBoy obsession, this thing is really fascinating."

  In the office of the governor of a certain state in the United States, Governor Colby is thinking hard about how to target this company from Japan.

   Because this company is seriously threatening the lives of many people in the United States, this is not a good phenomenon.

   But Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is also a major taxpayer in the United States. California, where its branch headquarters in the United States is located, is the umbrella of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

   Half a month ago, Colby held a hearing against Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, and wanted to use his influence to curb the development of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

   And this is not just because of the negative impact of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment itself on the American people, but the most important reason is interest.

Everything stems from interests. There is just a video game console company emerging in his state. Thanks to the fact that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has not released its own 3D graphics game console, this company also took the opportunity to occupy a certain 3D game console. The market can be regarded as making a lot of money.

   And the taxes he paid were naturally attributed to Colby's credit.

   It was at the suggestion of the company's CEO that he finally decided to sanction the Japanese company.

   As long as Youxing Electronic Entertainment is contained, the company developed in your own state will soar upwards and embezzle more markets.

   But the actual effect is not gratifying.

  California protects Youxing Electronic Entertainment very well, ensuring that he will not have any unexpected situation anytime, anywhere.

   In the end, he could only rely on his own influence, and reluctantly limited the Doom Warrior who had the greatest influence on the American nationals to a certain extent.

Restricting the sales of Doom is because it is too violent and will affect the healthy growth of children, because Yuxing Electronic Entertainment itself advocates age restrictions to no avail. Those children who want to buy such games can still easily buy them. , with almost no obstruction.

   This kind of violent and **** game should be controlled to a certain extent.

   Then Colby suggested that the United States immediately set up a review committee for video games, which is specially responsible for rating the age group of games, and then imposes policy suppression on major sellers.

   And before the review committee is established, Doom will only be sold in a small number of regions.

   This is the best Colby can do.

   He also quite understands the California governor's protection of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. If such a big taxpayer came to his state, he would be guaranteed death.

   But at this moment, he seems to have found a new attack point.

   That's the picture of the President's wife playing a game console that is circulating on the Internet.

  The photo is not important, the main thing is the text accompanying the picture.

   Even the President's wife is saying that she is a little addicted, and she should consider going to the hospital for treatment of her addiction.

   And just now, a scholar from a university in the United States has also released a paper, which describes some characteristics of video game addiction in detail.

   Of course, this scholar is more of a hot topic. Many of the theories in his thesis have no basis and are completely immature conclusions. He has not even done experiments a few times.

   But this has become Colby's treasure.

   Finally found a place to attack Yuxing Electronic Entertainment!

   Colby was excited.

   Then he immediately arranged manpower to prepare to attack the information of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, and then he was going to fight another big battle.

   When the time came to the second half of 1997, a new round of hearings began.

   This time it was co-sponsored by Colby and two other states of the same party, followed by a number of academics serving as scientific advisors, and a number of people identified who said they were affected by video game addiction.

  This hearing looked a bit aggressive at the beginning, even if California itself wanted to protect Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, it would inevitably appear that some people were alone.

   But youxing electronic entertainment is not easy to mess with.

   In the case of the hearing, whoever said the most reasonable words can be recognized.

   And Zhu Yuxing never spared money in this regard.

   He directly sunk a lot of money, and once again dispatched the royal team of lawyers. At the same time, he also brought along a few top lawyers from Europe who came to support him.

   Their expenses are not low, but they are worth the price.

The    hearing lasted for a full week, and the two sides were arguing. From the initial argument that video games are harmful, to the negative impact of video games on people, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has gradually changed from being passive.

   Dozens of top business lawyers, plus a number of scientific team thugs who were temporarily hired from different fields, even if Colby has a lot of "conclusive" information, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is not at all disadvantaged.

   The hearing lasted for several days, and the two sides remained deadlocked.

   I have to say that sometimes money really can do whatever it wants.

   Zhu Yuxing spent more than ten million dollars on the expenses of this lawyer's day, but Zhu Yuxing didn't care about these expenses at all.

   Until half a month has passed, Colby's side has been a little powerless, but Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's side seems to be a little more comfortable.

   Even two or three top lawyers and scientists can be added every two days, which seems to be a financial competition.

   Of course, in addition to the financial competition, there is also California backing up and helping to withstand the pressure from the government, otherwise it will not work.

   The final result ended with a ban on sales in some states.

   This is difficult for Colby to accept, but there is nothing he can do.
