"Yes, that's the one." Nakayama Takuya nodded decisively.
Then, as if reading from a manual, he rattled off a string of specifications that made everyone present suck in a sharp breath.

To any hardware engineer, that number was no different from a thunderclap on level ground.
The transmissive color screens they were currently testing consumed hundreds, even thousands, of milliwatts at a time!
"Managing Director, theoretical specifications are one thing, but actual mass production is another—" Sato Hideki spoke urgently, his breathing growing heavy.
"Contact NEC." Nakayama Takuya cut him off without room for argument and issued the highest-order directive. "Find the head of their display panel division. No matter what it takes, get several engineering samples first. Pair them with our motherboard and immediately run display and power-consumption tests!"
Sato Hideki hurriedly grabbed a notebook and yanked off the cap of his pen.
"You'll handle the negotiations personally." Nakayama Takuya rose to his feet and smoothed the hem of his suit jacket, his gaze carrying the dominance of a business tycoon. "Tell NEC's representative that as long as their yield rate meets our mass-production standards, the moment they can achieve mass production, Sega's next-generation handheld will place an initial procurement order in the millions with them!"
The tip of Sato Hideki's pen slashed heavily across the paper, even tearing through it.
