Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 696 The stock prices of the four old families skyrocketed;

At the end of the press conference is the price link.

Due to cost constraints, the selling price is not cheap.

The game console + base package is priced at US$449, which is about 3600 yuan in Daxia currency.

For the first 12 escort masterpieces, the initial price is 49 US dollars, which is about 400 yuan in Daxia currency.

"I don't know what agreement the old four have reached with the Big Three. If these costs are fully paid by the old four, then they will lose a lot this time."

Tian Moyun shook his head and said casually.

"What do you mean?"

Li Tenglong was puzzled.

"The global sales of [Thunder 2] have exceeded 3 million."

Tian Moyun said lightly, "Not only are console game players, but many people don't have a high demand for games, or even have no demand for games at all... But anyone who has any idea of ​​buying has bought this game console, and my side is about to With the release of new aircraft and top-level escort masterpieces, do you think... how much market is left for them?"

"..."

Li Tenglong frowned and thought, and his face gradually became brighter: "Unless their game is really strong enough to explode, unless your preparations pose no threat to them, otherwise, this [Shenguang 1st Generation] may not even have 500 million sets." Can't sell..."

500 sets!
It sounds like a lot.

But think about the sales of 2 million sets of [Thunder II]...

Well, even if you don't mention this god-level game console that is out of the circle.

Let’s just say [Dragon Scale 2], [Dragon Scale 3], and the sales volume of the old four game consoles in the past two generations, even the most expensive, there are more than 2000 million sets.

A game console with a sales volume of 2000 million sets has basically been given up by the manufacturer.

After all, with game consoles sold to such an extent, the sales of games can be imagined...

After the 32-bit era, the cost of developing console masterpieces is getting higher and higher. Which game manufacturer will develop games for such a game console that hits the street?

Unless you really have strong enough confidence in yourself, or you can bear the loss of a game development failure, otherwise, you will probably think carefully about it, right?
And if a console sells less than 500 million units...

After all, Li Tenglong has been in the host circle for several years. Does he not know the loss?

Marketing costs, research and development costs, mold opening costs, production costs, labor costs, game costs...all of them are counted, even if the old four add up, they may not be able to sustain it.

This wave of blood loss must at least exceed 200 billion US dollars.

The market value of the old four companies has been plummeting. Today, the combined market value of the four companies is only worth 2000 billion U.S. dollars, which is about the same as one of the Big Three.

And you must know that the 2000 billion US dollars is only the market value, which is all false. How much cash flow can be really used?

It will not exceed 200 billion U.S. dollars.

If all of them are really used to build such a game console...then after this battle, the old four will completely disappear from the world.

Regardless of whether you win or lose, you will eventually go bankrupt due to a broken capital chain.

Could it be that, in order to prove themselves to the world, the old four wanted to burst out the last light of life like a firefly?

This is obviously impossible.

It is estimated that there should be many unknown cooperation agreements between the old four and the Big Three. At least the Big Three will bear most of the research and development costs, or even all of them.

The fourth family is an important pawn used by the three giants to contain the [Thunder Group], and both sides are capital consortiums. When it comes to the interests of this area, the fourth family will naturally not back down.

final result--

It should be that the Big Three bear the cost of hardware R&D, and the older four bear the cost of software (game) R&D, and then the two parties jointly operate.

This is also the first time that the seven major groups have competed with [Thunder Group] after they formally formed an alliance.

Think of it...

Li Tenglong then thought of Tian Moyun's many layouts, and suddenly laughed out loud.

"why are you laughing?"

Su Qiong couldn't help asking.

What's wrong with this?

Even 500 million sets may not be sold...Is it so funny?
It's a bit of a villain to gloat so much!

And you smile so obscenely, did you think of something that made you feel happy from the bottom of your heart?
"It's nothing."

Li Tenglong restrained his smile and waved his hands again and again.

He was laughing mainly at one thing.

The Big Three hiding behind clearly want to use the old four to contain [Thunder Group], trying to delay [Thunder Group]'s room for improvement, so as to buy enough time for themselves.

But the problem is, Tian Moyun is also setting up a scheme to use the old four to contain the Big Three.

In this wave, the old four families directly became the battlefield of the game between the two sides. Many plans of the Big Three failed, and then, those who were in a passive situation became the Big Three instead.

Tian Moyun has prepared too many means to deal with the old four. Once the old four are dragged into the abyss, will the big three make a move?
If you don't make a move, the fourth family will be completely cold.

If you make a move, your own capital chain will probably have problems. Even if there are no problems, once you start a war with [Thunder Group], your capital chain will not be able to withstand the blow at all.

In recent years.

[Thunder Group] Many of its subsidiaries are making money crazily all over the world. In addition, the qualifications of these subsidiaries are very high-quality. Even if the money is not enough, as long as they are willing to use their shares as collateral, they can easily exchange for Cash flow of hundreds of billions or trillions of Daxia coins.

Although a lot of money must have been spent on the research and development of new products, many businesses under [Thunder Group] can use these research and development technologies, which can completely spread the research and development costs to an extremely cheap level.

Let's talk about the production cost. [Thunder Group]'s two major production bases are both established in Daxia Country. Compared with the high cost overseas, the low production cost is enough to completely wipe out the disadvantages such as import tax.

On funds, on research and development, on cost.

[Thunder Group] No one is afraid.

In this wave of games with the Big Three, both sides have their own calculations. From Li Tenglong's standpoint, he is looking forward to this upcoming drama.

Li Tenglong gradually understood.

Why is Tian Moyun so determined to win the fourth family.

Regardless of [Thunder Group] or the Big Three, they treat the old four as cannon fodder/pawns. Regardless of who wins, it is impossible for the old four to win anyway.

Tian Moyun won, and the old four would no longer be a threat. They would either be acquired or completely knocked out of the mainframe hardware field.

The big three won, and the capital background of the old four was also wiped out. The big three can successfully complete the annexation, bring the old four under their command, and become their money-making machine.

I don't know if the shareholders of the old four companies have seen this clearly.

After seeing it clearly, they will inevitably negotiate with the shareholders of the Big Three, sacrifice the old four to make themselves shareholders of the Big Three, and so on.

Anyway, for capitalists like them, the life and death of the company is not important, the important thing is that they can make money, and the important thing is that they can survive, not the company.

But if you don't see clearly...

Then you will really be reduced to worthless cannon fodder.

This wave is so interesting.

……

After the press conference of the old four families ended.

The international game circle was shaken, and excited players were everywhere.

"The old four really brought me too many surprises this time, and they are worthy of being the overlord of the game industry in the past."

"What kind of game overlord in the past? It was just a temporary failure. Now that I'm serious, it won't return to the overlord status in minutes."

"[Shenguang 1st generation] is too strong, although the performance is not as good as [Thunder 2nd generation], but it feels more attractive."

"The two ways of playing are indeed very interesting settings. They can be played on the road anytime, anywhere, and can also be used as a game console at home."

"It's a great design to get two consoles for the price of one console."

"At first, I didn't expect much from the old four's family. I thought this time was just a smoke bomb for cutting leeks, but I didn't expect that it really brought a surprise."

"I still like handheld game consoles, but it's a pity that they are gone. [Thunder Games] has no plans for handheld games. It's good now, and there will be handheld games to play in the future."

"To be honest, if [Thunder Games] has a handheld, I would rather buy their handheld. After all, I can't bear to part with those top masterpieces, but it's a pity."

"It's the same when buying [Shenguang 1st Generation]. The 12 debut masterpieces look quite attractive, and the price is also acceptable."

"Hahaha, [Thunder Games] must be dumbfounded now, right? The old four simply stopped competing with them, and just took out their handhelds to see what they can do."

"Unless [Thunder Games] also launches a handheld device to compete, but the time must be too late. When their handheld device comes out, there will be no place for them in the market."

"If you bought the stocks of the old four companies before, you will definitely make a lot of money this time. The stocks of the old four companies have been rising without stopping."

"My God! It's scary! The old four have bottomed out and rebounded. They originally fell to the bottom, but now they suddenly erupted. It is expected that they will continue to rise sharply in the next few days."

"Those who bought stocks in advance really made a lot of money."

"It's a pity that I didn't have the courage to buy stocks before. Otherwise, even if I just invested a little money in it, I would have earned the money for a game console."

Overseas players are excited.

The die-hard fans of the old four families even wept with joy.

Stand up!

The old four finally stood up!
Seeing that the old four families have been beaten down in recent years, until now they suddenly turned around, reappeared in the world domain with an almost invincible posture, and once again went to glory.

The die-hard fans couldn't be more excited, and their mood was the same as that of the stocks of the old four companies, striding forward from the trough to the highest peak, whether they were excited or not.

……

They were not the only ones who were excited by this press conference.

After watching the press conference, the producers were a little anxious, and they were anxiously discussing how they should choose.

Whether to continue sticking to the lineup of [Thunder Game], or to switch to [Shenguang 1st Generation], there must be a result.

"If you want to make money easier, you can go to [Shenguang 1st Generation]. Their development costs should be lower, and the competition is not too fierce. It is not difficult to make a living."

A big man said: "But if you want to earn high profits, you must stay with [Thunder Games], the competition here is indeed much fiercer, but you need to know what a game console with 3 million sales means ...Looking at the history of video game development, this is the highest-selling game console in history, it never existed before, and it may not exist in the future.”

This passage made many colleagues nod secretly.

It makes sense.

[Shenguang 1 generation] Over there, apart from the first-party game development team under the old four's own command, there are not many third-party companies that cooperate with them.

They belonged to the critical moment when resources were lacking in content, but any game with decent quality could be allocated good resources from the old four.

Moreover, after being reborn from the ashes, the old four will also make a lot of concessions in terms of profits and other benefits with the producers, and dare not be as harsh and domineering as before.

This is undoubtedly good news for producers.

Of course, this is just good news for midstream and downstream manufacturers.

For upstream producers, this is not the only thing they consider.

Compared with resource allocation and profit taking, upstream producers pay more attention to the upper limit of the platform.

[Shenguang 1st generation] Over there, it seems that the future is bright, but whether the game console is good or not is not the same as whether the sales are good or not.

Unless the sales volume of [Shenguang 1st Generation] is very strong, at least reaching more than 2% of [Thunder 30nd Generation], these big producers will consider defecting to the old four.

Because the hardware sales are not enough, the upper limit of the platform is very low, and it is difficult for their super masterpieces with a lot of investment to earn the profits they want...

and so--

The bosses have already made a judgment.

In a short period of time, midstream and downstream manufacturers can still go to the old four's side, but the upstream producers are fine, they can only be at home if they stay here.

"There is one other thing to consider before making a decision."

Another boss spoke up: "[Thunder Game] has clearly warned that those who leave will not have to come back. So...the old four family should really survive, I suggest you take a look at [Thunder Game] first If the old four have hope, it’s not too late to go, if you can’t make waves, then don’t take risks.”

This……

Those middle- and lower-stream manufacturers who were about to make a move began to hesitate.

This two-in-one game console newly launched by Laosijia gives people a momentum that is about to take off.

However, whether this game machine can take off smoothly is not just their own business, it also depends on the market acceptance, and also depends on the attitude of that very terrifying opponent...

The difficulties and crises faced by the old four families have not been lifted.

It is indeed too early for them to make a choice at this time.

In case the old four's family really didn't survive this test, all the third parties who went to the past would have to be buried with them.

"William, what do you mean?"

Some bosses were not happy: "Are you determined to stand with [Thunder Games]? If [Thunder Games] really monopolizes the field of console games, it will be good for you?"

The big boss who warned the midstream and downstream producers was named William.

What he said seemed pertinent, but it dissatisfied the other big shots.

Because according to their calculations, they hope to take this opportunity to encourage a group of mid-stream and downstream manufacturers to go to the old four, help the old four get out of the predicament, and have the capital to compete with [Thunder Games].

If the old four still fail to survive in the end, then this group of mid- and downstream manufacturers will all be buried with them, and they will also be able to reduce some market competition pressure and continue to consolidate their upstream position.

Regardless of the calculation, they, the big producers who stay in the [Thunder Games] camp, will not suffer.

Unfortunately——

This William was uncharacteristically sabotaging them, as if he was determined to be the loyal dog of [Thunder Game].

This made them puzzled, but also a little angry.

"Just telling the truth."

William sneered without giving any explanation.

He knew very well in his heart that most of what these people said would reach the ears of [Thunder Game] executives.

Do you really think it's safe for them to be a third-party secret meeting?Do you really think that the interests of all people are common?
Think more.

[Thunder Game] It's too easy to train some spies here. You only need to make a promise and give some benefits, and you can win over a large number of mid- and downstream producers.

Even among the upstream producers who talked to him, there may be [Thunder Games].

How could these cunning Daxia people be as stupid and arrogant as they imagined?
Rather than being targeted by talking here, it is better to show loyalty to [Thunder Game] in time.

William has made up his mind, regardless of whether the old four are dead or alive, he must hug [Thunder Game]'s thigh, not only [Thunder Game], but also the [Starry Sky Technology] next door must cooperate.

Who are the old four, and what are the Big Three?

They have been beaten into such a miserable state. Do you really think that launching some two-in-one game console can compete with [Thunder Games]?

As for [Thunder Games], after monopolizing the market, will its attitude change drastically?

In fact, William was not very worried about this.

He is very clear that the leader of [Thunder Group] is a very smart, very ambitious person, but he is not greedy for profit.

It sounds contradictory, but it is.

Or to put it more precisely: The helm of the [Thunder Group] does not want immediate benefits, but persevering benefits from now to the future.

This person has such a long-term vision and such a long-term patience, how could he not know the consequences of exhausting the water?
Moreover, William has studied Tian Moyun's family history, and knows that the reason why that guy can rise so quickly is entirely due to the power of the people's will.

Don't such people know the consequences of excessive exploitation and squeezing the interests of partners after monopoly?

Doesn't he know that if he does this, it will lead to the next [Thunder Group] in the market?
The more research, the more certain [Thunder Group] will be able to survive to the next era if it continues in the current way.

Thinking of these-

William felt that he should embrace the thigh of [Thunder Group] and try to find more places for cooperation, such as toy companies, online games, film and television adaptations... and so on.

"Perhaps, I should take the initiative to show my loyalty to [Thunder Game]."

William's heart moved, and he suddenly felt that this was just the right opportunity.

At a time when all international producers are on the verge of making trouble and have their own ideas, if I go to show my loyalty, or even take the initiative to reach a lot of in-depth cooperation with the platform, I will definitely be able to let that Daxia person named "Lu Wenbo" treat me He was highly appreciated and even recommended him to the mysterious big boss.

……

at the same time.

With the end of the press conference of the old four, the stock market also made waves.

The stock prices of the old four companies have soared all the way, and in just a few hours, they have risen by tens of billions of dollars, and the market prospects are bright.

From this point, it can be seen that the market is really optimistic about the products of Laosijia this time.

The reason why investors are optimistic is that there is a very fundamental reason——

[Shenguang 1st generation] and [Thunder 2nd generation] are not similar products with fierce competition, but can coexist.

In other words, the current [Thunder 2] will not affect the sales of [Shenguang 1], they are different types of products, and there is no conflict of interest.

Even if [Thunder Game] wanted to snipe the old four, it would be impossible.

Under such a premise, [Shenguang 1st Generation] is a very "playable" product with full competitiveness, and it is very likely to become a hit in the international game field.

In this way, the old four families will really revitalize directly.

Even if the old four players who got out of the predicament are no longer the world's game overlord in this era, they can at least be able to sit on an equal footing with [Thunder Games] and will become the second largest console game platform.

Not only that, there are three giants behind the old four. As long as their "seven major group alliances" still exist, the development prospects of the old four will be optimistic.

This is why investors are optimistic about it.

……

Tian Moyun's office.

"When are you going to start?"

Li Tenglong asked.

He was referring to the stock market, which he personally arranged.

He is very clear about Tian Moyun's calculations. If he wants to maximize his profits, he must do so before the announcement of the new game console of [Thunder Games].

The day should be close at hand, just in the gap of these few days.

Selling stocks takes time.

Because it is not a small amount, but a large amount of stock with a very high proportion of total equity, Li Tenglong needs some time to operate.

"There is still an opportunity missing."

Tian Moyun shook his head: "I'm considering whether to launch this opportunity, because many arrangements are not ready yet... Forget it, let's launch it directly, after all, time waits for no one."

"What big hole do you have?"

Li Tenglong was curious.

"It's not a big pit, it's just a small trick."

Tian Moyun smiled: "I secretly bought two major international producers. They both have high prestige in the international game circle. You said, if I let them publicly stand in line with the old four, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars Create a super masterpiece, build momentum for the old four, can they raise their stock prices a little bit..."

"Then we sold the stocks in our hands. In the process of selling the stocks, the stock prices of the old four companies will drop sharply..."

"At this time, I will ask these two big producers to force the old four to stand up and maintain the stock price, otherwise I will announce that I will give up creating new games for the old four and return to [Thunder Games]. The family is under pressure from all sides, will they follow suit?"

"If they don't follow suit, as soon as our stocks are sold, the two big manufacturers will play with them again, and the momentum accumulated by the old four will become a complete joke."

"If they follow suit, they will lose a lot of money if they maintain the stock price. At that time, the two big manufacturers will still have to run away. Will they be fooled by me when I tell them about my stock trading?"

"Oh, right--"

"I can also take this opportunity to warn other game makers."

"For example, when these two big producers wanted to come back, we resolutely shut them out, and asked their managers to come over and apologize again and again, and finally signed an unequal agreement to continue to be […] The producer under Thunder Games...wouldn't this be more interesting?"

"Of course, don't worry about them not agreeing. It's just a matter of more money and less money."

"If I tell them that as long as they are willing to do what I say, [Thunder Games] will prepare a big announcement event for their next console masterpiece, and only charge operating and sales costs, Don’t extract any benefits, give them all the benefits..."

"Tell me, can this be done?"

hiss--

Li Tenglong gasped, feeling a little toothache.

This grandson is too ruthless. After such a toss, he didn't spend a penny. The old four will definitely be tossed to death, and at the same time, it can deter all overseas producers who are about to make a move.

As for whether the two major producers will agree?

Hehe, everyone agrees with this day's big good thing.

Isn't it just a loss of face, just a loss of face, in exchange for a super publicity plan for a super masterpiece and all the net profits... This is too good a bargain!

They would definitely be grateful to Tian Moyun... even though Tian Moyun didn't pay a penny from the beginning to the end.

Niubi!

Li Tenglong said that he has learned.

Su Qiong on the side said... Forget it, she poker-faced, skillfully ground a cup of coffee, and stared out the window with rapt eyes.

who am I?
Where am i?

What should I do?
