In April 1999, a piece of news that shocked everyone in the gaming industry was released. The chairman of Nintendo, the tyrant of the past, had quietly died in one night.
The cause of death was organ failure. Although this result was unexpected, it was expected. After all, he had been in the ward for more than three years. He was lucky to have survived until now.
However, when everyone heard the news of his death, it was so heartbreaking.
After all, Yamauchi was the founder of the video game industry. He had the same status as Zhang Sanfeng, and he was the founder of the entire Wulin. It was his FC game console that opened a new world for the video game industry.
Once upon a time, Yamauchi was a mountain that pressed on everyone's head. Until recently, he was overthrown by the Daqian.
But there was no doubt that Yamauchi's influence was unparalleled.
Because of Fusang's funeral regulations, the deceased should not be cremated for more than 24 hours if there was no special reason.
After the cremation, the farewell ceremony was usually held a day later.
But Yamauchi's identity was special, and there were too many people from home and abroad who wanted to come and pay their respects, so the farewell ceremony was postponed for three days.
So when Yamauchi died in the early morning of April 2nd, his family members first spent the whole day keeping vigil for the deceased, that is, an all-night ceremony.
Generally, only the relatives of the deceased, neighbors, and colleagues of the company were eligible to participate.
On April 3rd, Yamauchi's funeral and cremation, in addition to family members, a few very close friends would also participate.
And on the morning of April 7th, the formal funeral was held. During the day, as long as you knew the deceased, you could call yourself a friend, or you respected the deceased, you could go to the farewell ceremony.
But Yamauchi's body was gone, replaced by a portrait and his ashes.
Although it was a bit inappropriate to say this, it was the most lively day of the funeral.
Yamauchi was a Buddhist, so his ceremony was held in a local temple. There were more than 50 monks chanting scriptures for the deceased.
And on this day, a large number of mourners came. They were basically people in the video game industry, and there were many people who came from all over the world. They all had a very sad mood, and they came to say goodbye to Yamauchi.
After these mourners arrived, they first had to register their names and identities at the registration office for the farewell ceremony. Then, they had to present a sum of incense, which was the Huaxia red packet.
According to Fusang's custom, this amount of money was usually between 10,000 and 15,000 yen. Of course, if the guests were willing to pay more, it was up to them.
That's why some people said that Fusangs never accepted gifts, and that it was very easy to get married, unlike Hua Xia who asked for red envelopes. it was all bullshit.
Fusang's collection was even more ruthless. 10,000 to 15,000 yen was equivalent to 1,000 to 1,500 yen from Hua Xia.
Ahem, back to the topic. Most of the people who came to Yamauchi's ceremony were people in the video game industry. How could they only give 10,000 yen for a red envelope?
That's why most of the mourners, other than ordinary people, gave a very generous red envelope. Most of the red envelopes cost more than 100,000 yen.
Every time a red envelope with such a figure was presented, the relatives who came to receive the guests would bow deeply to express their gratitude.
Well, if not, they would just nod slightly and not say anything more. That's how realistic it was.
"Sony Entertainment, Mr. Kutoriyoshi, 1 million yen red envelope, as a tribute to the gods!" Suddenly, a huge red envelope appeared, and Yamauchi's eldest son, Yamauchi Katsuhito, came to receive it.
Although the relationship between Sony and Nintendo was bad, Sony was involved in all aspects of Fusang, and the Yamauchi family did not dare to offend Sony. That's why Yamauchi Katsuhito received Kutoriyoshi respectfully.
Some of the guests near the entrance also greeted Kutoriyoshi. Kutoriyoshi nodded, shook Yamauchi Katsuhito's hand, and said a few words of consolation before going in to bid farewell to Yamauchi Katsuhito.
Yamauchi Katsuhito asked his son to wait at the entrance. When he was about to accompany Kutoriyoshi into the temple, there was a commotion at the entrance. Three black Mercedes-Benz cars stopped in front of the temple, and three people in black suits got out of the cars.
Two women and one man. Two of the women were extremely beautiful and could be called national beauties. However, they took the initiative to follow behind the person in the lead and walked towards the temple.
"Eh!" After a while, Ryōki Ken let out a cry of surprise and then stopped. This made Yamauchi Katsuhito shocked, and then he looked at the three people who came down.
The three of them looked young, but Yamauchi Katsuhito had never seen them before. Kutoriyoshi Katsuhito seemed to know these three people.
"Mr. Kutoriyoshi, they are …" Yamauchi Katsuhito asked softly.
"You don't know them? Your father had a deep impression of that person! "Kutoriyoshi Katsuhito asked in surprise.
"I am not interested in video games, and that's why I don't know about my father's business!" Yamauchi Katsuhito shook his head. His hobby was archaeology, and he had no interest in video games.
His younger brother was also not interested in video games, and Yamauchi Katsuhito had no choice but to hand over his business to an outsider, Satoru Iwata.
Speaking of which, it was rather strange. In a dignified family of gaming overlords, the two males were actually not interested in gaming. This was probably reverse psychology.
"The one walking in front is Jia Yapeng!" Kutoriyoshi Katsuhito said softly.
"He's Jia Yapeng!" Yamauchi Katsuhito's expression turned cold as anger welled up within him.
Although Yamauchi Katsuhito had never seen Boss Jia, it didn't mean that he had never heard of this name.
After all, his father had been bedridden for three years because Jia Yapeng and his Daqian game had stabbed his family in the back. His father was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted. Finally, he died this year.
All of this was because of Jia Yapeng. Yamauchi Katsuhito had heard of this name more than once, but it was the first time he had seen him in person. A wave of hatred naturally arose.
"Father, I will drive him away. He is not qualified to attend grandfather's funeral!" Yamauchi Katsuhito's son was still young. He couldn't hold it in and was ready to drive him away.
Yamauchi Katsuhito hesitated for a moment, but he didn't stop him. He didn't want to see his father's enemy appear at his father's farewell ceremony.
