Chapter 363: ===363 Fantastic cooperation===(None Edited)
The Morgan Group is not bad at all, and his publicity offensive is directly full.
Around the venue of the booth, there were already several COSs with the image of StarCraft machine gunners. The burly steel armor and the oversized machine gun were very impressive.
This also attracted more people to come to check the situation.
These people also happened to see the game's official release date and release price.
"After our in-depth communication with Youxing Electronic Entertainment, we decided to price StarCraft at $59 a piece. If you pre-order now, you will also get a small gift limited to the scene, first come first served, as for the sale. Date."
Brush.
The picture on the screen changed again, and the big date was displayed.
It was officially released on July 1, 2000.
"One month later? One month later!"
"Hooray!" The
players cheered.
They thought that the game would have to wait at least six months and a year.
But it only takes a month to play.
In terms of production difficulty, StarCraft should be higher than Final Fantasy, but as long as the direction is clear, no detours are taken, and enough manpower is added, it is not difficult to develop.
In addition, the people involved in the development in the United States are particularly devoted, and each of them is full of love for StarCraft, and the development speed of the game is much faster than expected.
And this game has another feature, that is, it will continue to be updated over time, and it is not like other traditional games when it is sold and hardly any modifications are made.
This is also the node where video games move towards a new stage, that is, network services.
Network services are not only unique to online games. Stand-alone video games also require network services, but they are not as demanding as online games.
"If you are interested in the game, you can also go to our demo area to experience the trial of StarCraft. We will have a special person responsible for guiding you on how to play and battle."
"Wait, battle? Then this It means we can fight each other?"
"It sounds like this, um, I have something to do right now, so I'll leave first, everyone, let's continue watching the promotional video."
"Hey, I have something to do, please let me go. "
Let me go, I need to go out, and now I'm in a rush to urinate."
As soon as the host finished saying that there would be a trial experience area, these people couldn't help it anymore.
They started frantically walking out of the press conference and heading to the experience area of the Morgan Group one after another.
Originally, there were very few players in the experience area on the Morgan Group side at the beginning, because most players did not take the things on the Morgan Group side seriously.
They come here to watch the latest games, to play games.
The Morgan Group only had system experience at the beginning, so naturally it did not attract too many players.
But it's different now. All the computers in the venue have adjusted the screen in advance, and all the machines have entered the main interface of the StarCraft trial. Players only need to come over and start the experience.
And the rich and powerful Morgan Group is directly a machine with a dedicated service staff to help players solve all problems in the game and explain how to play the game for them.
There are more than 100 computers in the venue, that is, more than 100 service personnel. Only a few large companies such as the Morgan Group can do this without any scruples.
Just now, the service staff of the Morgan Group were still very leisurely, and they could even get together to find a few game consoles to play StarCraft.
But in the blink of an eye, the players began to pour in frantically, and they were a little confused.
Fortunately, their professional quality is still there, and they will soon enter the state and begin to serve the players patiently.
"What happened? Why did the players all run away? And they all went to the Morgan Group?"
At Lierda's booth, the newly appointed CEO personally came out on the platform to promote the latest consoles and games.
At the beginning, many players were attracted to play the game through rich prizes.
The quality of the new games they developed this time is also not too bad, and they did leave many players to try their games, and they all showed interest in the new consoles and new games.
This makes the CEO happy.
It's just that he hasn't been happy for a long time. Most of the players ran away in the blink of an eye, and they all went to the Morgan Group.
What's the situation?
If these players suddenly ran to Suri Electronics, he would accept it if they ran to Youxing Electronics Entertainment.
But this suddenly went to the Morgan Group, which puzzled him.
Is Morgan Group also entering the game industry?
damn it! Another strong competitor, how come there are more and more competitors every day?
Having a Youxing Electronic Entertainment is enough to make people desperate, can't you go to other industries? Why get together with video games?
"Boss, Morgan Group has launched a game."
Sure enough!
The super company Morgan Group is also going to enter the game industry, damn it! Money is not good anymore.
Obviously, it was already very hard to make money.
But fortunately, it is just a game, and the Morgan Group has just entered the game industry, and they must not understand the difficulty of game development. They want to really develop a good game in a short period of time. Money is useless, without top game developers can not bring high profits.
He even had a bit of a vicious thought that the Morgan Group would spend a lot of money in the field of video games, but it was a slap in the face, and eventually became the laughing stock of the industry.
"But it's not the game they made, it's made by Yuxing Electronic Entertainment."
Lierda CEO: ? ? ?
What the hell is this?
Yuxing Electronic Entertainment was acquired?
He is now full of question marks.
Then he realized a serious problem.
A super rich group that also occupies more than 80% of the market share of PC operating systems.
In addition, Youxing Electronic Entertainment, which also occupies 80% of the game industry, has an influence.
With these two guys together, the game industry seems to have no enemies at all.
"Damn it, what's going on, why are these two companies coming together?"
The employee who came to report shrank his neck.
How could a small employee of him know such a secret thing.
Also shocked was Aiden, the North American head of Suri Electronics.
Huck Brown, former Lilda CEO of Brown Entertainment.
None of them could understand how this was done.
Whether they can figure out the reason or not, at least for now, the cooperation between Morgan Group and Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is really amazing, and the game experience is also excellent.
This is truly a fantastic collaboration.
Chapter 364: ===364 The title party is indispensable everywhere===(None Edited)
A game from Youxing Electronic Entertainment will be exclusively on the Morgan Group's operating system, which can be regarded as a big news.
Everyone knows that logging in on a PC makes a lot of less money because piracy on a PC is hard to ban outright.
Launching the game on your own console is even more assured.
After years of statistics, games on consoles will always sell more than those on PCs.
As long as ordinary game dealers are not smart, they will give priority to landing their works on game consoles.
Huck Brown is an exception.
He himself is the CEO who was kicked out of Lierda, so he will naturally hate the current Lierda, and he will not let his game log in Lierda, no matter how much money he gives.
Suri Electronics and Youxing Electronic Entertainment have also tortured many game developers in the United States with lawsuits. They also hate these two game companies, at least now.
Then unless they make their own consoles, they may only have PC as an option.
However, other game companies don't pay much attention to PC games.
They think gaming on PC is bad.
But Bamboo Yuxing was suddenly uncharacteristic.
He should be the biggest beneficiary of the game console, but he suddenly changed the track.
To be honest, not many people can guess the operation of Zhu Yuxing every time.
In fact, it's just because the real-time strategy game that Zhu Yuxing wants to play has the best experience only on the PC.
He just wanted a better gaming experience.
Making money without one or two games is nothing at all.
Besides, who says you can't really make money on a PC?
This time, in addition to the release of StarCraft, there is another platform software that is simultaneously logged in.
This software, Zhuyouxing, is directly called the Battle.net system. In short, it is a collection of platforms such as STEAM and Battle.net in the previous life.
These people now also think that piracy will lead to poor PC sales.
However, I would never have imagined how terrifying the dissemination ability of pirated games themselves.
Now the three machines FC, SFC and GB have been sold all over the world because of open source.
FC first sold over 100 million, then GB handheld, and SFC is about to break 100 million.
Just thinking about the products that come to mind for the first time in the minds of these over 100 million users is Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. When they really have stronger spending power, then their priority will only be Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
Zhu Youxing has never regarded piracy as a beast. There are pros and cons to each of these things. Anyway, as long as the financial resources can bear, there is nothing wrong with piracy. Expanding the number of users is also a kind of profit.
The Battle.net platform is the next step of Zhuyouxing's plan.
The mainstream sales channels on the PC side are also firmly in their hands. If the latecomers want to catch up, I am afraid they will have to pay billions or even tens of billions. This is an early layout.
Others only saw him log in an exclusive game work on the PC, but ignored the Battle.net platform that hosts the game.
Of course, Zhu Youxing couldn't say such things to others, he just had to wait silently for the platform to blossom and bear fruit.
On the first day, the Morgan Group's press conference was over, and the news of the powerful alliance between Youxing Electronic Entertainment and Morgan Group was spread all over the Internet.
"In the latest news, Morgan Group announced an in-depth cooperation with Youxing Electronic Entertainment to further consolidate the game territory and kick out all competitors. "
"Boom!" Morgan Group is suspected to have acquired Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and the specific transaction amount is estimated to be at least 10 billion US dollars according to Wall Street. "
"The United States acquires Japanese companies? Once again Japan failed at the feet of the United States? "The
title party is quite popular in any country, and this is not a feature of a certain country.
In order to attract attention, the media naturally exaggerate how they want. Anyway, as long as they can attract people's attention to their media.
Anyway, our reports are only based on rumors, not the news we said. Even if the defendant is accused, the most is to delete the news. This is a very cheap way to earn clicks and ratings.
Because of these news, the phone kept ringing just after Zhu Yuxing walked out of the exhibition that day.
Zhu Yuxing picked up the phone and looked at it, most of which were phone numbers from Japan.
Several of his names remain.
The telephone number of the Minister of the ** of Japan's Tibet Province.
Came in so soon?
Of course he had to answer calls from high-level Japanese government officials.
And he also knew the purpose of the other party's call.
It is nothing more than because of some outrageous news that suddenly broke out in the United States.
They probably really thought that Zhu Yuxing really planned to sell Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
That doesn't feel right.
Now Youxing Electronic Entertainment is a sign of the Japanese government.
The leader of the game industry has an 85% market share in the current world, and its annual profit is expected to rise at least one billion US dollars.
It is absolutely impossible for such top companies to be directly acquired by American companies.
Even if the acquisition is real, it would be first to let the company on the Japanese side take over. The United States has to buy a little bit if it wants to buy it. It is impossible to buy such a top company directly.
The government can invest in the acquisition first.
However, the government is not stupid, they also think that Zhu Yuxing should not do such stupid things, so it is just a minister to call and ask.
Zhu Yuxing simply explained to the other party and then dispelled the other party's doubts.
This is one of the strategies of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and the Morgan Group is only to complete a cooperation agreement.
After getting the answer he wanted, the minister didn't say anything more, just exchanged a few words with Zhu Youxing, hoping to have a chance to drink together in the future.
Zhu Youxing fooled him with a haha, then hung up the phone.
Then there were several more phone calls.
It also included Hayakawa Ukito's personal phone call.
When contacting the game engine at that time, the two sides left each other's private phone numbers.
The two sides are sometimes both competitive, but at the same time there are some areas of cooperation.
For big companies, everything is for profit, and it is normal to have cooperation and competition.
However, there is no need for Zhu Youxing to answer these calls and explain them one by one. Whether the other party can guess anything has nothing to do with him.
In the end, he simply shut down the computer and went back to his hotel to ignore everything.
This time, he only told Tsukune Aya and other two or three people who were close to him. The purpose was to get them to stare at the company.
It's good to do this once in a while, and treat it as a vacation.
"Father, Takeyou has shut down."
In a residential house in Tokyo covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters, Hayakawa Ueto held his mobile phone with a complicated expression.
Opposite him is Kentaro Hayakawa, the president of Suri Electronics, dressed in Japanese formal clothes.
Hayakawa Kentaro closed his eyes, expressionless, and did not know what he was thinking.
Hayakawa Ueto couldn't help but said, "Father, this cooperation between Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and Morgan Group has great ambitions."
Hayakawa Kentaro opened his eyes and looked at his child: "What do you think? "
