Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 372 Big News

In several game stores with the highest concentration of players across the United States, there is a selected StarCraft player.

Both of them, like Li Mingzhe, can perform excellent fighting effects.

And with the leading role, many players who saw this kind of operation almost all thought that they could do the same thing.

Even if they haven't bought the game, they have already constructed in their minds the appearance of galloping on the battlefield in the game and killing the Quartet.

While fantasizing like this, he also giggled happily in his heart, thinking that he could also perform the same operation.

After some players performed a very effective game scene, the players' desire to buy was immediately raised.

Outside the door, some people who had no interest in StarCraft started queuing up to buy the game.

Soon, the game's sales for the day were announced.

50 million sales on the first day.

This is already a pretty good result.

Although it is not as good as Final Fantasy 7, which sold millions on the first day, it is still an impressive sales volume.

At the same time, the e-sports project of StarCraft was officially launched.

The first session will be funded and hosted by the Korean government, and players from all over the world will be invited to challenge.

If the challenge is won, it will naturally get rich bonus rewards, and there will also be an official commendation ceremony, which makes the sense of ceremony full.

E-sports under the support of a country, even if the country is not big, but the mobilization power is indeed unmatched by companies.

Unless you are a super enterprise like Morgan Group.

The first WCG quickly rushed to the peak of the topic's popularity through drainage.

Those who initially chose to sponsor eSports to get advertising seats were more than happy.

They just invested a small amount of money, and they quickly gained word of mouth and fame through this advertising campaign. This income is really exciting.

However, this kind of opportunity will certainly not be too many, and the organizer of the event will definitely realize the commercial value of it immediately, and the next advertising seat will not be so cheap.

But even so, if the crowd's attention continues to rise, it's still worth it.

Looking at the data analysis, Zhu Youxing was basically relieved.

Real-time strategy games are relatively new in this world, and will allow players to immerse themselves in it for a while, but at the same time, the development of StarCraft this time is also somewhat different from the past, that is, this StarCraft is a wandering star. Electronic Entertainment's first attempt at Internet service.

In addition to the local area network system that comes with StarCraft itself, the Battle.net platform installed with StarCraft is a channel specially responsible for allowing players to have the opportunity to communicate with players from all over the world.

To this end, Takeyouxing also asked Matsuhashi to hire the most professional network engineers at a high salary, and let them form a team responsible for maintaining the entire StarCraft network service.

This is somewhat overkill. StarCraft’s Internet service doesn’t need so many people, but Zhuyouxing is planning for the future. StarCraft is just the beginning, and many games will be added to the network service in the future.

And his GS1 game console can also delegate more functions of the Internet to users from this moment on.

Not long ago, GS1 just updated the emulator compatibility function of a wave of old games, so that the emulator can run more stably on GS1, which is enough to take care of old players, even if the current income of old games and the payment of Youxing Electronic Entertainment Compatibility at the price is completely incompatible, but Zhuyouxing still insists on doing so.

Because this is how he came here, many times he wanted to experience old games and needed many complicated methods, and now that Zhu Youxing can make the decision, he wants players to reduce these unnecessary troubles.

Of course, this is not without benefits, at least word of mouth has been maintained, all players are taken care of, and it is easier to make players stick.

And just as Zhu Yuxing continued to look at some of the company's data, his cell phone rang.

He picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was Matsuhashi.

Zhu Youxing looked up at the time. It should be the early morning in the United States, right? Songqiao has not rested yet?
This is really a very hard-working woman, and she is a bit cruel to herself and the people around her.

Then he picked up the phone.

"President, there has been a change in Su Rui Electronics, have you read the news?"

"News? What's changed in Su Rui Electronics?"

"Kentaro Hayakawa, the current president of Surui Electronics, officially announced his retirement, and his youngest son, Ueto Hayakawa, succeeded him as the new president of Surui Electronics." Matsuhashi's tone was serious, obviously she attached great importance to this latest news.

Zhu Youxing opened his eyes slightly.

Has Ueto Hayakawa become the president of Su Rui Electronics?This is really big news.

Suri Electronics is a giant in the electronics industry covering many fields, and it competes with Sony in its previous life. The change of the president was announced almost as soon as the internal shareholder meeting ended.

Then, people in the entire electronics industry and financial circles immediately followed suit.

Originally, the popularity of some e-sports topics on Youxing Electronic Entertainment also quickly faded, and it was replaced by the big news of Su Rui Electronics' transposition.

Hayakawa Ukito became the new president of Suri Electronics, and the video game business unit he previously managed was handed over to one of his most trusted men.

At the same time, at the shareholder meeting, Ueto Hayakawa changed the direction of research and development as soon as he became the president, and invested more manpower into the video game division to develop new game consoles.

The previous dilemma of insufficient manpower was immediately improved.

The newly appointed president was very aggressive from the very beginning, it seemed that he really had his sights on the future of the video game industry and wanted to take a gamble.

Zhu Yuxing turned on the TV, and some core employees of the company also gathered together to watch the latest news that was just released.

Even some of the people who develop the game are taking a break from what they're doing right now.

At this moment, it's not just the economic news in Japan that is shaking because of this news. In the United States, even if it is still in the early morning, none of the middle and high-level managers of Su Rui Electronics' American branch has a rest. .

This is an obvious signal that they will all be loyal to the new leader in the future, and they must not be neglected.

Many corporate executives who competed with Su Rui Electronics also woke up from their sleep immediately when they heard the news, and quickly found their own advisory group to discuss matters after the new president of Su Rui Electronics took office overnight.

The popularity of video games has quickly dropped to freezing point, and most people, except the super-loving gamers, have turned their attention.
