"The Daqian is doomed this time!" That was the opinion of all the players, including Yamauchi.
The players at the scene couldn't care less. They just wanted to play Pokemon. Hence, another player said, "Boss Jia, forget about it. You should release Pokemon on Nintendo!"
"That's right, Mr. Jia. We really like Pokemon. We don't want to be unable to play this excellent game anymore. Please, listen to this lawyer!"
"Mr. Jia, don't you think about us players? Do you only care about making money? "
The players below the stage were discussing animatedly. At the same time, they petitioned Boss Jia to abdicate. Although they didn't have the intention to do so, they just wanted to play Pokemon.
Seeing that the players were speaking in unison, Yamauchi and the lawyer smiled. It was the best time for the players to speak.
With the players expressing their opinions, if Boss Jia still insisted on not giving up, he would be labeled as someone who didn't care about the players and only cared about making money for himself. Then, the Daqian's reputation would be even worse!
The players were too adorable. Yamauchi loved them to death.
"Mr. Lawyer, do you think you've already won?" Boss Jia snorted coldly.
"I haven't already won. Justice and the law are on my side!" the lawyer said proudly.
"Good. I wanted to give Yamauchi some face. Since he didn't give me face, then don't blame me!" Boss Jia sighed and waved to his secretary. The secretary passed a USB drive to Boss Jia.
Looking at the USB drive in Boss Jia's hand, the lawyer and Yamauchi, who was hiding behind the camera, suddenly showed hesitation.
However, Boss Jia didn't care so much. He directly inserted the USB flash drive into the computer at hand. This computer was directly connected to the projection screen behind it, so the folder in the USB flash drive appeared on the projection screen, along with two files named Recording File- 19960528 -1 and -2.
Obviously, the string of numbers in the file name referred to the time. It was a recording file recorded on May 28th, 1996.
"May 28th …" Yamauchi began to recall the date. Iwata Satoru's expression changed instantly. He already knew what date it was.
At this time, Boss Jia double-clicked on the file and played the recording.
"Yamauchi senpai, how can I help you?" It was Boss Jia's polite voice.
"Haha, I knew that Mr. Jia wouldn't disrespect an old man like me! Mr. Jia, I hope that next year's WCG can add five more games. These are Nintendo's best games, and they will definitely increase the popularity of your WCG. That's settled. You can't reject an old man like me! "
… Omit …
"You!!! Jia Yapeng, you little bastard. Do you really think that just because you organized this competition, you can ride on my, Yamauchi's, head? I'm telling you, if you don't give me an answer now, I'll … "
"Beep beep beep …"
Then, the recording went dead. Boss Jia played the second recording. It was Satoru Iwata's voice. In the recording, he threatened the Daqian, saying that if the Daqian didn't agree to Nintendo's request, they would be banned.
Of course, Satoru Iwata wasn't as direct as Yamauchi. He was very tactful, but normal people could hear the threat in his words.
"This guy, he recorded it!!!" When Yamauchi heard his own voice, he knew that things were serious. Jia Yapeng was so insidious as to record their conversation.
Everyone present heard how Yamauchi was shamelessly forcing Jia Yapeng to participate in the WCG.
Combined with the three conditions that Jia Yapeng had mentioned at the exhibition today, anyone with a discerning eye could see that Boss Jia wasn't unwilling to agree to Nintendo's conditions. He really wanted to raise the conditions at the exhibition.
However, Yamauchi was a shameless old thief. He actually used the Daqian game to threaten the Daqian. It was simply shameless.
However, Yamauchi paid the price for his arrogance in the end. His recording was completely exposed in front of thousands of audience members. Everyone knew Yamauchi's true colors.
Regardless of who would win this lawsuit, and whether the Daqian's reputation would be tarnished, Yamauchi and Nintendo's reputation would be completely tarnished.
Sure enough, the audience below the stage was angry. "I didn't expect Nintendo to be so shameless!"
"That's right, in order to participate in the WCG, they threatened the Daqian!"
"F * ck, I didn't expect Nintendo to be such a shameless bastard. I will never buy anything from Nintendo in my life!"
All of a sudden, the audience was criticizing Nintendo, and Yamauchi became a clown in an instant. And the voices were so loud that even Yamauchi, who was hiding in the monitoring room, seemed to vaguely hear the people outside scolding him.
In the blink of an eye, Yamauchi went from extreme joy to extreme pain. His old body couldn't bear such a change!
"I … I … I …" Yamauchi couldn't breathe. His vision turned black, and he fell directly to the ground. Fortunately, Iwata Satoru, who had already sensed that something was wrong, grabbed Yamauchi in time, and then frantically shouted for emergency treatment.
Just as Yamauchi fainted, the calm lawyer's face showed a panicked expression for the first time. Obviously, the lawyer did not expect this kind of recording evidence.
However, the lawyer was a lawyer after all. After a short moment of panic, he immediately said, "Mr. Jia, this recording is a phone call recording, right? Regardless of whether this recording is real or fake, evidence collected in private by recording a phone call cannot be used as evidence in court. This is invalid evidence!"
"It doesn't matter if this evidence is invalid or not in court, I just want everyone to know how shameless Nintendo is!" Boss Jia snorted, then sighed. "I didn't want to take this out, but you forced me to!"
Indeed, Boss Jia really didn't want to take out this phone call recording.
Although this phone call recording could immediately reverse the situation, didn't this mean that Boss Jia, or even the entire Daqian, liked to play with phone calls when they were on the phone?
If that's the case, who would dare to speak to Yamauchi in such a straightforward manner on the phone in the future? Everyone had to be on guard against the Daqian!
In fact, after this incident, the Daqian's communication with any company was quite official and formal. There was not a single loophole to be found. This increased the cost of communication between the Daqian and other companies by many times.
Therefore, children should not think that it was ridiculous for adults to talk nonsense. If people did not talk nonsense, there was a risk of losing their official position or even going to jail. Therefore, it was better to be cautious.
"But the court won't believe this evidence!" The lawyer said coldly. "Since Mr. Jia is unwilling to agree to our reasonable request, we can only see him in court if he continues to violate the contract!"
"In addition, I will apply to the court for an injunction to strictly prohibit the sale of all Pokemon products before the trial results are out. Otherwise, this will be considered contempt of the court, and you will be punished more severely!"
"What! We still can't play Pokemon?! " Hearing the lawyer's words, the players who were shocked by Nintendo's shamelessness were even more shocked by Nintendo's shamelessness.
However, shock was not enough to solve the problem. The Pokemon that they had been longing for would still be out of their reach!
According to the global court process and procedures, it would take at least a year for such a case to be decided. Did that mean that they would not be able to play Pokemon for a year?
For a moment, all the players looked at Jia Yapeng with pleading eyes. At this moment, Boss Jia was under great pressure. He hesitated, stood stiffly in the same place, and did not answer for a long time. The lawyer smiled triumphantly.
"Everyone, I want to ask you a question!" Suddenly, Boss Jia picked up the microphone, looked at the countless players below the stage, and asked in an incomparably gentle voice, "Do you really love Pokemon from the bottom of your hearts?"
