Top of the Great Era

Chapter 2192 The Ship of Theseus

Of course Ren Yuxin thought so too!
Unexpectedly, the cooperation with Konami would be so smooth.

Popular games can refer to the cooperation model of "Pro Evolution Football" to carry out a series of copyright distribution and copyright exchange.For obsolete games, just follow the model of "Contra" and "Red Fortress". The mobile game copyright of the two games was bought out for 300 million dollars... It's a cabbage price.

Ren Yuxin was very excited, Zhou Buqi was a little tired, and wanted to go home and rest early.

On the other hand, there is an appointment tonight.

Zhou Buqi has always wanted to raise a group of Japanese maids at home. Before that, Sun Zhengyi had helped take the lead and contacted Mr. Mitsui, the big man behind this industry.

What Mr. Mitsui means is that since he wants to enjoy it, it is better to follow the tradition. Of course, the younger the girl, the better, fourteen or fifteen years old is the best.

Zhou Buqi thought he was an old bastard.

Even if Mr. Mitsui promised again and again, it doesn't matter if he says it's okay, it's guaranteed to be safe.

Zhou Buqi didn't accept this.

This gave Mr. Mitsui a lot of problems.

He has a lot of girls with beautiful faces and good figures, and there are relatively few girls who remain virgins after they pass the time.Fortunately, Mr. Mitsui is not an ordinary person. There are several gangs under him, covering several big cities.

But this is not a "recruitment system", but a "scout system".

It was a group of scouts under him who wandered around, saw a beautiful girl on the road, and took the initiative to talk to her, asking her if she liked studying, if she wanted to make a lot of money, and if she wanted to enjoy the good life of the upper class.

It's even easier when it comes to Boss Zhou's side. Ask her if she wants to live in a top-notch mansion like in Hollywood movies?Fancy a private jet?Want to travel around on a luxury yacht?

And the most crucial point, $100 million per year, would you like to?

Not to mention recruiting maids, even the recruitment of actresses for small movies is the same model. There are scouts everywhere, and they will ask for beautiful girls when they see them on the street.

In a modern society, how many people are not short of money?
Especially in Japanese society, money worship is prevalent. Young girls must have exquisite makeup and beautiful clothes when they go out. Not to mention, if they don’t carry an LV bag, they will feel a little inferior.

But, where is the money?

Another more important issue is that the economic structure of Japanese society is rigid, industrial development has stagnated, and the number of jobs that the whole society can provide is very limited.

And the phenomenon that men are superior to women in the workplace is extremely serious.

This makes it very difficult for women to find a job.

No job no money.

The biggest way out is to get married and become a housewife.

In this general environment, the scope for "scouts" will greatly increase.

For young girls, if there is no chance, so be it.If given the opportunity, it would be really hard to refuse if scouts really fell in love with her. Who would want to live an ordinary life like a husband and a child?

Not only Japan, but Korea as well.

Among Korean girls, if you see three or five girls on the street, one of them must be scouted out to be a trainee, and the proportion is extremely high.

However, there are only so few people in Korea, how can there be so many beautiful girls?
This has given birth to a very powerful plastic surgery industry.

It doesn't matter if it's not pretty, it's fine.

South Korea’s scouting model is actually learned from Japan, but only a part of it has been learned. The coverage of scouts in Japan is wider.

Mr. Mitsui cast a wide net.

In just over a month, he has recruited more than a dozen beautiful girls across the country.In the evening, I was just waiting to ask Boss Zhou to come and see him.

However, this kind of thing is not easy to say.

Zhou Buqi could only patiently talk to Ren Yuxin about some game business ideas.

Ren Yuxin's meaning is very simple, nothing more than wanting to buy the mobile game copyrights of Konami's other outdated games, "The reason why many of Konami's outdated games are outdated is because they mainly It’s a console game mode, either through a game console connected to a TV, or a handheld game console. This kind of game is also difficult to do much on the computer side, but there is a huge market on the mobile phone side.”

Zhou Buqi nodded, "Well, the biggest advantage of mobile games is the low barrier to entry. In the future, everyone in the world will definitely have a smartphone, and this is billions of potential players."

Ren Yuxin said with a smile: "Yes, the price of home game consoles and handheld game consoles is not low. Players who can buy game consoles to play games are relatively experienced players themselves, but mobile phones have changed the nature of games."

Zhou Buqi said: "Yes, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, there is no threshold for mobile phones, and there are many kinds of mobile game players. Games that are outdated for some experienced players will be very new for many mobile game players. , Very interesting. Not only games, but also novels and movies, the threshold determines the category.”

Ren Yuxin said: "It's hard to say anything else, at least in the domestic market, there are some elderly middle-aged people who came here playing red and white machines when they were young, and they all played "Contra" and "Red Fortress". Once this kind of nostalgic game comes out, it will attract such a group.”

Zhou Buqi said cautiously: "Don't be in a hurry, do the research well first, I can't say whether it will be successful. But one thing is clear, playing with mobile phones uses fragmented time. So when designing mobile phones When developing products, we must make good use of fragmented time. For example, archive pauses, such as turn-based games.”

Ren Yuxin won't discuss things that are too detailed, and Boss Zhou doesn't know much about games. He is more concerned about the cooperation model between Changyou and the Japanese game industry.

What he meant was obvious.

Since your big boss Zhou has such a big face, why don't you come forward and talk to Nintendo?
Maybe they won the copyright of "Mario"!
The brand value of "Mario" is much higher than that of "Talking Cat", which is the world's largest game IP.In order to win the game IP of "Talking Cat", Changyou spent a total of 7 million US dollars.

If the big boss has a big face and won the copyright of the "Mario" mobile game from Nintendo for a few million dollars, then Changyou will be invincible.

Just as Ren Yuxin revealed a little bit of this idea, he was interrupted by Zhou Buqi, and said with an angry smile: "How can it be so simple? Nintendo is a world-class game giant, and there are several branches in the United States. It’s different from a deeply localized game company like Konami.”

"You can talk to Nintendo with reference to the model of "Pro Evolution Football"..."

"Don't!"

"what?"

Ren Yuxin was slightly taken aback.

Zhou Buqi said: "It's better not to offend Nintendo. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. It's not a matter of market value. If Nintendo is an elephant, Konami is a grasshopper. Konami can be bullied at will, and Nintendo will don't move.

"Bullying?" Ren Yuxin didn't quite understand what he meant, "Can't you talk about bullying?"

Zhou Buqi said: "Well...do you see what I mean by changing the name of "Pro Evolution Soccer"?"

Ren Yuxin was a little strange, "What's wrong with changing the name? Soccer is not appropriate to call football."

"That's it?"

Zhou Buqi shook his head, dissatisfied with this answer.

Ren Yuxin smiled and said: "I know, the 2K brand after the acquisition of take-two, the football game and the 2K brand complement each other."

Zhou Buqi said: "This is only one aspect, and there is the most important point."

"What is it?"

"The Ship of Theseus."
