Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 705 Strong contrast; how much is the value of feelings?
"$50 billion..."

Looking at Tian Moyun who ended the call, Su Qiong was speechless.

The acquisition of four international game overlords of the previous generation for US$50 billion... This matter, probably only Tian Moyun can do it.

As an ordinary person, I dare not even think about it.

You know, even now, when the stock price plummets, the combined market value of the old four companies can increase by hundreds of billions of dollars.

If the $50 billion acquisition of a [-]-billion-dollar giant comes true, it will definitely be the biggest news in recent years.

"The market value is all fake."

Tian Moyun shook his head: "The market value is actually useless, don't look at the high market value of the old four, but will anyone dare to buy it at this time? What about the market value of 50 billion? I'm very kind if I can pay 10 billion. If I really wait for them to go bankrupt If you buy it later, I’m afraid you won’t even need $[-] billion.”

"..."

Su Qiong didn't say a word.

She understood in her heart that Tian Moyun was able to offer such a "high" price not because of kindness, but because she was worried that the bid would be low, and the five major shareholders opposite him would fight him to the death without even thinking about it.

He is already very miserable, the lowest point in his life and career, if he is humiliated again... If he is forced into a real fire, his mentality will collapse, maybe he will explode.

What Tian Moyun said was right——

The market value of the old four is actually useless and cannot be realized.

The assets in the hands of the old four are valuable, such as game IP accumulated over decades, software and hardware R&D technology, brand influence/famousness, production technology, R&D center, and a complete Western-style management system... are all valuable.

Among other things, those game IPs alone can be worth at least tens of billions of dollars under normal circumstances.

This is a very terrifying fortune.

But alas, these are not "normal circumstances".

Those game IPs only work in the field of console games, and once they leave the field of console games, they will become worthless.

And now.

[Thunder Game] and [Dragon Scale Game] have dominated the global console game market, and the old four have no place to stand at all, and these game IPs in their hands are useless.

Even if the fourth family wanted to sell it, others would not dare to buy it.

What if the two major console game platform providers refuse to cooperate after buying it?

Why don't we just stop cooking?
All the wealth of the fourth family is built on this foundation.

This also led to the fact that they had countless treasure mountains in vain, but they didn't have any way to realize them. They guarded countless wealth, but they came to the point where they were about to starve to death.

If not, how could the five major shareholders consider Tian Moyun's "kind" acquisition proposal?

Selling for 50 billion US dollars, it is a blood loss, the kind that can vomit blood for three liters of popularity.

But if they don't sell it, then they don't even have the 50 billion US dollars, and it is very likely that all the investment will be in vain in the end, and they will lose all their money.

On the one hand, sell it at a low price, lose your blood, and destroy half your life's hard work.

On the other side is a deadly battle that will never admit defeat, put all the assets of the old four families on it, exchange your own death for the opponent's damage, and let the whole world witness your last glory.

How to choose?

Tian Moyun didn't know how they would choose, it could only depend on God's will.

"Both options are good for me."

He patiently explained: "If you choose to sell at a low price, [Thunder Game] can win at the lowest price. And if the battle is not retreated, [Thunder Game] can beat them to death. In the commercial war, killing four leading international companies can play the role of killing chickens and monkeys."

Dare to love you, why don't you lose money?

Su Joon couldn't help but want to call 666 for him.

……

The negotiations between Tian Moyun and the five major shareholders are just in contact.

This does not affect future plans.

the next day--

[Shenguang 1st Generation], [Thunder: Big Lotus], and [Thunder 2nd Handheld] have been released one after another, and the game circle is booming.

Netizens are discussing these three devices, thinking about which one they should buy.

[Shenguang 1 generation]?
Most players of the Thunder system would not consider it, because they have better choices.

The die-hard fans of the old four can't help but hesitate, whether they should buy this game console... has become a topic of discussion for a long time.

If it was before the [Thunder Game Conference], they would definitely buy it, and they had 1 reasons to convince themselves.

But now...

Looking at the [Great Lotus], which is playing the [Shenguang 1st generation] in all directions, it is difficult for them to convince themselves to choose the old four.

All the reasons for praising the former have become the advantages of the latter.

The only remaining reason is probably only feelings.

[Shenguang 1st Generation] The 12 first-party masterpieces released in the first release are all works that focus on feelings.

The players of the Great Xia Kingdom may not feel much, because they basically did not have these games in their childhood, but overseas players are different.

As soon as these games came out, they more or less brought back memories of their childhood, and then... it was somewhat emotional.

But, can this feeling support the sales of [Shenguang 1st Generation]?

……

Thunder players don't have so much trouble.

"I'm considering whether to trade in the old for the new."

Some netizens posted a post in "Thunder Game Bar", very entangled with this matter, and wanted to see how many people were like themselves.

"Same! I'm also debating whether to trade in the old for the new."

"I'm used to [Thunder 2], but I think [Big Lotus] is really beautiful."

"Appearance is secondary, mainly depends on demand."

"Anyway, I don't plan to change. I just come back from get off work every day to play games. On the way, I prefer to check Weibo with my mobile phone..."

"Me too! And I like the big screen, not the small screen of the handheld, and I'm not interested in paying for it."

"Look at demand and financial resources. If you don't care about money, buy all three."

"Is it okay to buy all three? This is too extravagant."

"I think [Big Lotus] is quite interesting. It would be nice to change to another machine to add a little freshness, but it seems that it will cost more than 1000...Forget it, just buy it."

"Upstairs is proud!"

"Why is no one discussing [2nd Generation Handheld]? Is it cold?"

"[2nd generation handheld]... If you don't have a game console and want to experience it, it's not bad to buy one to play with, but if you have a game console, you basically don't need this, right?"

Netizens are discussing.

At a glance, the posts in "Thunder Game Bar" can be roughly divided into three categories:

Do you want to trade in the old for the new [Big Lotus]?
With [Thunder II], do I still need to buy [Generation 2 Handheld]?
Should I buy [Big Lotus] or [2nd Generation Handheld]?
I just graduated and bought a game console for the first time, which one should I buy?
These are the problems they struggle with. As for [Shen Guang 1st Generation]?What is that?

There is no need to think about it at all, just filter it out of the selection, okay?

……

[Shenguang 1st generation] did not enter the Great Xia Kingdom.

Maybe it's because of limited funds, it's not convenient to open up too many markets, or maybe it's because I don't want to humiliate myself.

After all, Great Xia Kingdom is the base camp of [Thunder Games]. In these years, all the challengers, such as Banana, Strawberry, Leyou, Phoenix, Shenhui, etc., have been beaten until their own mothers don’t recognize them.

If they really went to the Great Xia Kingdom, no one would dare to say that they could compete with [Thunder Game].

So.

The players of the Great Xia Kingdom basically don't discuss this game console.

The vast majority of players' understanding of this matter is only limited to the level of "heard of", and then they are not interested in going deeper.

In contrast, they prefer to talk about [Thunder Games]'s newly released two game consoles and 12 new games.

On the day of the release, many big Vs paid for [Big Lotus] and [2nd Generation Handheld], and then recorded unboxing videos, evaluation videos and other things.

There are also big Vs in the game circle who give purchase advice.

One of the big Vs named "The Game Calls Father" successfully attracted Tian Moyun's attention. He said this:
"Dads, it's great to see your son's post."

"Today, my son saw many fathers discussing the two newly released game consoles, and he was very itchy for a while, so he planned to combine his son's experience to give fathers a purchase guide."

"First of all, let's talk about the [Thunder: Big Lotus] game console."

“[Great Lotus] is a two-in-one game console, the handheld mode can be called the strongest handheld in the world, and the console mode is not inferior to [Thunder II], it can be called the strongest console in the world. powerful."

"[Thunder Game] also provides an official channel for trade-in. Many fathers want to replace [Thunder 2] with [Big Lotus] to experience this creative machine."

"But my son wants to remind me—"

“[Great Lotus], as a product of the same generation, does not have any performance improvement. If you buy it rashly, you may not get any surprising experience except in the handheld mode.”

"From [Thunder 2] to [Great Lotus], at least 1000 yuan must be added. Whether the 1000 yuan is worth the money is a matter of opinion."

"If you don't need a handheld, there is actually no need to buy [Great Lotus]. [Thunder 2] is still the most powerful game console at present, and it is not outdated."

"What is the positioning of [Big Lotus]?"

"Hmm... In my opinion, this point is actually quite vague. The main thing may be an all-round entertainment device. It can be used as a video game console at home, and it can be carried in your pocket when you go out."

"If you haven't bought [Thunder 2] and want to buy a game console to try something new, you can consider [Big Lotus], which has more comprehensive functions and a lower rate of dust."

"But if you bought [Thunder 2], instead of buying [Great Lotus], you might as well go directly to buy [2 Generation Handheld]. The price of 1499 yuan is about the same as the replacement subsidy price."

"If you buy [Big Lotus], all you get is [Big Lotus], but if you buy [2nd Generation Handheld], you will get two game consoles... It's so beautiful."

"Finally, let me talk about [2nd Generation Handheld]——"

"Many gamer fathers are a little bit disapproving of this product, and it's understandable when you think about it. After all, there are [Big Lotus] jewels in front, and no one will look down on this thing."

"But in my opinion, this product is likely to become the big killer of [Thunder Games]."

"1499 yuan game console, what kind of concept is this?"

"The world's cheapest 64-bit handheld, specially prepared for students and business trips. It is smaller and more attractive than [Big Lotus]. It can play 90% of the console masterpieces in the game circle. Is it too fragrant?"

"Super performance, super cheap price, and a huge lineup of games, all these make [the second-generation handheld] extremely competitive in the market."

"I feel that the final sales volume of the [2nd generation handheld] is likely to exceed that of the [Big Lotus]...Of course, it's just my son's personal guess, so it can't be taken as real."

"If you often go out, take the subway, bus, etc., I strongly recommend buying one for fun. It feels quite interesting."

"That's all my son wants to say. If Dad finds it useful or makes you smile, please like, bookmark, follow, forward, and vote."

"Thank you dad!"

……

Tian Moyun read it cheerfully, and clicked on the comment section.

I saw that the first comment said: "It's too unfilial to just give advice. After talking so much, you should buy one for Dad."

This makes sense.

Just like many young people nowadays, they talk about making their parents eat better every day, but never send money to their families once.

I really don't understand where this filial piety is.

Tian Moyun thinks this guy is quite interesting. Although this is the online world, it is also a wonderful person to be able to open his mouth so smoothly and call Dad.

So, he liked it, forwarded it, and commented: "Forward this message, and randomly select 5 lucky users to receive the CD version of "Dark Souls 2"."

After sending the message, I sent the link to the secretary and let the other party be responsible for the follow-up.

After that, Tian Moyun didn't watch it anymore.

……

As soon as Tian Moyun reposted it, many netizens who followed him clicked in one after another, and then laughed like a pig.

"Congratulations to 'Game Calling Father', successfully overturned by Boss Tian, ​​this time it's going to be popular."

"So Boss Tian likes this tune? I seem to understand something."

"Don't drive upstairs in broad daylight, it's easy to get into trouble."

"What's your theory upstairs? It's easy to get into trouble when driving at night?"

"Did I say drive the one that drives?"

"The driving I understand is the driving you mentioned."

"I'm going to do a very dangerous thing... Boss Tian has a son outside @kindness的小苏."

"Hiss! Your number upstairs is gone."

"If there is any disagreement, we will draw a lottery. Boss Tian is so arrogant... Wait, "Dark Soul 2?"

"I'll go! Just give the game away, why don't you give it away? How dare you give it this? Is it still an individual?"

"This prize...doesn't matter if I don't draw it!"

"Mr. Xiao Su, come out and take care of it! @kindness的小苏."

Netizens were happy at first, until they noticed the place "Draw a lottery to send "Dark Soul 2"", and they were all in a bad mood.

They couldn't help but think of the joy of spreading fire in the first generation of "Black Soul".

Just like the biting cold wind, it makes people tremble with excitement.

Netizens cursed and forwarded it quickly, expecting themselves to be the "lucky one".

……

Su Qiong received a reminder to follow on Weibo, clicked on it, and was speechless.

Someone is really getting better at playing now.

In the past, he still cared more about the status of the coffee... Well, he was aggressive, so he was more restrained when forwarding comments.

But now, someone has let himself go more and more.

In his words: When you are young, you should be a little bit more public. Being mature and stable is not the standard for young people.

Su Qiong is quite contemptuous of this.

You are still young, you are an old fox, okay?
Which young man can calculate and calculate all day long like you?
Publicity?

I can see that you are... huh?Want a baby?

Su Qiong was lost in thought.

……

The Great Xia Kingdom was full of laughter and laughter, and there was no smell of gunpowder in the "war" at all.

Tian Moyun didn't care about it either, but after making arrangements, he squatted on the Internet and watched these sand sculpture netizens have no brains and joy.

As for Su Qiong, she is staying at [Happy Games] to handle work. She has many things to do, such as online game updates, game bug fixes, new game feedback, new design draft approval... etc., busy and happy.

And at the same time-

The international game circle is boiling.

[Shenguang 1st generation], [Thunder: Big Lotus], and [Thunder 2nd generation handheld] were released at the same time, and the publicity was fierce, and all kinds of extravagant promotions were almost free.

Netizens were dumbfounded.

Is this a battle in the game circle?How do you make it look like a world war?
Which game console is better?

Several groups of Internet surfers were arguing and scolding on the forum.

With the end of the [Thunder Game Conference], the fans of the old four who had the upper hand were defeated by the Sanity Party and the Thunder fans.

However, this group of people is strong enough.

Even if he was ridiculed and scolded to the point of being hacked by the whole network, he would still hold his ground without giving an inch.

They are one against ten, one against one hundred, one against ten thousand...the combat power is unbelievable, and the rational party and Thunder fans usually need dozens of times the strength to suppress them.

The people who eat melons are dumbfounded and amazed.

"It's normal for these people to be difficult to deal with. It's not normal if they can be ridiculed so easily that they doubt life."

A "Thunder fan group leader" told everyone in the group: "The old four started to go downhill three years ago, and was replaced by a new overlord. ...Only these people are still holding on, they have endured too much abuse and ridicule, and they have long been used to it, our attack power is too weak, it is difficult to hurt them."

attack power...

It refers to the means of tearing apart the opponent.

Compared with the old four fans who have been abused by countless kinds of swear words and have already fully adapted to this "difficult fighting environment", these Thunder fans are still too young.

"What are they trying to do?"

Some members of the group did not understand: "Who doesn't know what the attitude of the old four families is towards players? Players are just a bunch of dogs in their eyes... The old four families were abandoned by everyone because the players all liked the new and hated the old? Was it because they made it themselves?" Those who came out... I don’t understand why these people still stick to it, did the fourth family give them money?”

"Who knows."

The group leader responded: "Maybe it's just that I just don't want to see the old four family being abandoned, forget it... I'm too lazy to care about them, we have done what we should do, they have been ridiculed by public opinion to such an extent, they should know how to restrain themselves in the future , there is no need to continue tearing it down."

"I think they are in a hurry."

A group member came out to be active: "As soon as the post on the Internet came out, they should have panicked, turned into anger from embarrassment, and then really provoked public anger."

photo?

Some group members who were busy with work and didn't pay attention to this matter were curious.

What kind of photo is it that makes these valuation guys panic?
"I'll send you a link, you can click in and have a look... Hey, it's really embarrassing that the dignified old four have messed up like this."

There are group members sending URL links.

Members of the eating melon group hurriedly clicked in to take a look. When they saw those photos full of contrast, they suddenly realized, and then became emotional.

In the picture——

They are the comparisons between [Thunder Game Brand Store] and the "Old Four Sales Stores" of several major chain shopping malls.

(PS: As we all know, 'Old Four' is a collective term.)
Hmm... the old four still use the method of cooperating with large chain stores (similar to customized machines) for sales because of their business strategy and poor management in the past three years. They also have their own chain stores, but there are only a few left There are several.

After all, if the products cannot be sold and there are too many brand stores, the cost will definitely not be recovered.

It's not [Thunder Games], 1/2 generations add up to a total of more than 5 million units sold, and there is no second one in the world.

Back to topic.

It can be seen from the photos that the sales of [Thunder Game Brand Store] are relatively hot, and there is an endless stream of consumers. Some of them are holding [Thunder 2] to talk to the staff, and some staff are demonstrating the new game console on the spot. , a large group of people were watching, including parents and children, young couples, and students. It was very lively.

On the other hand, the old four's side is not so deserted to the point of freezing, the sales of a few shops are still good.

It's just that, after all, the old four's shop is just a sales shop in a large shopping mall, the venue is limited, and it can't provide consumers with more display and chatting space like the [Thunder Game Brand Store], so it doesn't look like it. Not lively.

The entire post, dozens of pictures, and unabashed comparisons speak for themselves.

From the comparison of several new products, to the comparison of physical stores, to the sales environment, to the comparison of service quality...

Large whip corpse scene.

Simply invisible.

"hiss!"

The group members couldn't help but gasped.

Someone couldn't help sending a message: "It can be seen from the photos that these photos should be taken by the same person, but at least a dozen cities are involved... This person is definitely a die-hard fan of [Thunder], and was Those hardcore fans of the Old Four's family were completely pissed off, otherwise there would be no reason to do such a thing."

It is indeed scary enough.

It's been less than a day since it was released.

The blogger who posted this post directly bought air tickets and stopped in more than a dozen cities, took dozens of comparison pictures, added product comparisons, price comparisons, etc., and explained everything to the entire network through very objective hard data... There is not a single sentence in the full text that belittles the old four families, but the comparison of each one is full of targeted taste no matter how you look at it.

"Who made the hardcore fans of the old four's family go crazy, it's all over now."

Some members of the group were gloating: "As soon as this well-prepared post came out, this 'war' was completely ended, and now I'm getting angry from embarrassment, and I'm not far from Liangliang."

"The main thing is to lose momentum."

The group owner just finished reading this post, feeling a little complicated: "Look, [Thunder Game Brand Store] is so magnificent, in addition to the sales area, it also provides an experience area, viewing area, and rest area. Building a brand image with capital...Looking at the old four, there are really only sales shops with agency points. This kind of sales method was fine in the past, but now...by comparison, it is basically useless. "

The other group members couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

There is one thing to say, the old four family is also their feelings, and they don't want the old four family to fall, but...as consumers, they should choose the best and most suitable one within the range of options available. , rather than being kidnapped by feelings.

Emotional tactics are very strong, but they are not yet invincible.

If you just eat a meal and buy some gadgets, you may consider your feelings.

But game consoles cost thousands of dollars (and the cost of subsequent games), players should always be a little more sensible.

Those who are willing to pay for feelings and don't care about the money are not mainstream among the player community after all.

Feelings are priceless, which means that "feelings" are difficult to measure by value, but it does not mean sky-high prices.

If the products of the two parties are similar and have similar competitiveness, feelings can bring great advantages.

But if there is a huge difference in competitiveness between the two sides... feelings won't have that much effect.

No matter how good the feelings are, after all, "interests" must be the leading factor. After all, it is just icing on the cake. This is the reality.

of course……

It does not include fools who are casually paid for by capital marketing.
