Capítulo 426: The advantage is on our side
Soichiro Hayakawa shook his head to clear his mind of his previous thoughts.
Now, considering the game engine issue doesn't make much sense anymore.
The game engine is just a development tool; what's important is the game itself.
It doesn't really matter if Gamestar Entertainment monopolizes this tool. If the price of such a tool becomes too high, it will inevitably force other companies to develop their own game engines sooner or later.
And if Unreal Engine continues to be sold at a low price, there really isn't much space for other game engines to survive.
However, as a top technology company, developing a game engine is also a matter of time. You can't always rely on your competitors, but it's not quite appropriate now. He doesn't have much money to spare now anyway.
And even if he did, it would be more meaningful to invest it in game development now.
Looking at the venue being set up, Soichiro also showed a satisfied expression. At least it looks good. The venue is large, and there are many games available for trial, each with excellent graphics.
And Gamestar Entertainment only has one handheld console. Would his own console and handheld console combined still be inferior to theirs?
Maybe it's really as Nagao said, the advantage is on our side.
And Nagao's booth is promoting a large number of new games.
The quality of these games is hard to say for now, but Nagao's approach is straightforward.
As long as you play a game at our booth for more than ten minutes, you can get a very cost-effective prize.
And Nagao also came up with a points ranking system.
If players play enough games at their booth, they will receive certain scores.
The top ten on the leaderboard will receive higher rewards, such as a top-notch desktop computer worth over ten thousand dollars or a bundle of SuRui Electronics' gaming products, and so on.
Direct monetary incentives are the most effective reward method, and this kind of thing can really never go wrong.
Only Nagao, who is wealthy, can do this because his money is almost like a strong wind blowing, and it keeps increasing.
But it can't be denied that the Internet is really hot right now, so it seems necessary to add a new Internet department. SuRui Electronics absolutely cannot fall behind the times.
In addition to showcasing some games, yoo is also preparing to showcase some small gadgets developed in-house. The R&D cost is not too high; it's more like a facade.
But in reality, it is a rigid requirement from the exhibition organizers. After all, this is ultimately an electronics exhibition, not a gaming exhibition. Even a fool can see what the highlight of this exhibition is. You have to at least pretend, and at least display a few electronic products.
That night, the venue for the International Consumer Electronics Show was quiet, seemingly foreshadowing the intense competition that would come after the opening tomorrow.
And time quickly came to the next morning.
Soichiro Hayakawa and Nagao arrived at the venue early in the morning and, at Soichiro's suggestion, dispatched dozens of beautiful women to various places in the venue for promotion.
Some of them were handing out flyers, while others were wearing clothing with the logos of both companies to attract attention.
This is quite cliché, but the effect is also very good.
Shortly after the venue opened, a group of people was attracted to the SuRui Electronics and yoo booths.
And more were journalists who didn't mind stirring up trouble.
With the rise of the Internet, there are more and more Internet media journalists, each with their cameras and recorders, crazily searching for any big news that can bring in clicks.
And the most eye-catching news this time is naturally the competition between the four companies.
They formed two teams and competed against each other in various fields.
This kind of sensational news is what every journalist dreams of.
They had already obtained qualifications to enter early before the venue opened.
But the venues of Gamestar Entertainment and Morgan Group have always been closed, and the security guards at the door directly refused entry to anyone, regardless of whether they were journalists, and claimed that they could only enter when the venue opened.
As a result, these journalists were pushed towards SuRui Electronics.
In the hour before the opening, these journalists surrounded Nagao and Soichiro, with an attitude of not letting them go until they got a big news story.
Nagao enjoyed this popular state, giving him a feeling of being the protagonist.
He proudly announced to everyone the acquisition of several game studios by their company, and then boasted about the several high-quality games these studios have already produced. He hoped these journalists would interview them more, and he would be willing to give them some additional benefits afterwards.
Soichiro Hayakawa was somewhat indifferent to this; it was somewhat bribery, which wasn't quite appropriate in a fair competition.
However, this trick indeed had an effect. Seeing so many people surrounding them and the topic still hot, he chose to turn a blind eye.
Having big news while also getting benefits, these journalists were naturally very happy, and they promised to report more on the products of the two companies.
But this did not diminish their curiosity about Gamestar Entertainment.
Why are they still closed now? They don't let anyone in to find out what's going on?
According to the security guards at the door, they hope to treat visitors and journalists equally, without giving anyone priority.
Anyway, it's all mysterious, which actually aroused the interest of the journalists even more.
At this point, Nagao already had a triumphant look on his face; he felt that he had already won.
And it was at this moment that the 2002 International Consumer Electronics Show officially opened. At the entrance, ordinary spectators and visitors who had been waiting for a long time began to quickly enter the venue. They all wanted to see the latest technological inventions of the era as soon as possible. And among them were many players who had come after hearing the news.
Here they will also experience the best games in the world.
