Through the wealth life

Chapter 704 Game Market
Hengyu Supermarket Group conducts sampling inspections of products in an orderly manner. Li Guangyu believes that the senior management of the group can handle this well, so he doesn't need to worry too much about it.

Li Guangyu came to Xingyu Game Group this morning. In the past two years, home game consoles have begun to rise, which also puts forward higher requirements for the types of games.

In the past, the main market for games was arcade machines, but now the profits of home game consoles have already surpassed those of arcade machines.

As for home game consoles, it is necessary to provide more games for game fans to choose from, and Xingyu Game Group alone is far from enough for research and development.

In Xingyu Game R&D Company, Li Guangyu said after listening to the report of the group director and chairman of the game R&D company Toru Iwatani: "Our company needs to increase the reserve of game developers, and we need to refine the direction of game development. R&D department for different kinds of games.”

Toru Iwatani said: "Li Sheng, our company has more than 300 R&D personnel at present, working in leisure puzzle, shooting, fighting and other departments. In the future, we will continue to increase the reserve of researchers and develop Release more best-selling games."

Accompanied by Li Xuemei, Shigeru Yamamoto and Toru Iwatani, Li Guangyu visited Contra II which is currently under research. Compared with the previous first generation Contra, this second generation has undergone some changes in the plot. There has also been some improvement in difficulty.

However, they are similar in general aspects. With the popularity accumulated by the first generation of Contra, Li Guangyu believes that after the development of the second generation, it will still be able to achieve very good results.

Li Guangyu had a conversation with the R&D personnel. Li Guangyu said: "At present, the main profit of our Xingyu Game Group is in the game industry. In the future, this group will always be based on the game industry. Whether our group can develop well, you guys R&D personnel are very important. Only when you develop best-selling games can our group achieve good development. I hope that everyone can maintain the current spirit so that the games developed by our group can always occupy the main market in the world.”

Of course, Li Guangyu once again emphasized to them the group's incentives for them, which is the source of their struggle.Without material security for them, it is difficult for them to have the motivation to devote all their energy to work.

Afterwards, Li Guangyu also visited the fighting R&D department. After the development of Street Fighter [-] and Street Fighter [-], the department is currently developing King of Fighters. This game is much more complicated than Street Fighter, and there are more people in it. many.

At the subsequent group meeting, Li Guangyu said: "Currently, our main rivals of Xingyu Game Group are Japan's Nintendo, Sega, and America's Atari. However, our Xiangjiang side is far from being able to compete with Japan and Japan in terms of professional talent training. Compared with the United States, so while we are developing here, we must also absorb some game R&D companies from Japan and the United States to become our suppliers to enrich the types of our home console games.”

At present, these companies are all focusing on home game consoles. The market competition in this area is very fierce, and the sale of game cards is also a very large source of profit.

After all, you may only buy one game console, but it is impossible to buy only one game card.If you can't play a game for too long, you will feel boring, and game fans will choose new games. At this time, it depends on which of them has more types of games and which has better game quality.

Due to the strength of Xingyu Game Group and the pressure from Atari Corporation of the United States, some game companies in Japan, led by Nintendo and Sega, have formed an alliance to compete with Xingyu Game Group and Atari Corporation. market.

In addition to researching games on its own side, Xingyu Game Group mainly relies on some small and medium game development companies in Japan to provide them. Now there is a problem here. Due to the two hands of Sega and Nintendo, many companies choose to supply them.

Moreover, Li Guangyu knew that some consortiums in the United States were also involved. For example, Sony, a subsidiary of the Mitsui consortium, also entered the game industry this time, joining the alliance of Nintendo and Sega.

Therefore, many development companies in Japan are now abandoning the platform of Xingyu Game Group and choosing their local platform. After all, the impact of Sony's joining is too great.

Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, we have some difficulties in Japan at present. Our group is currently conducting research on this issue. We plan to train some game development companies in Xiangjiang and Baodao, and strengthen their strength in the hope that they can give us Provide high-quality game products."

After learning about the situation in Japan, Li Guangyu expressed his support for Li Xuemei's proposal. He is very aware of the profits in the game industry. Since the Japanese consortia have started to enter, they will not give up this market.

Xingyu Game Group has no advantage in competing with them for small and medium game companies in Japan. Under the same conditions, even Xingyu Game Group has slightly better conditions than them, these companies will not choose to cooperate with Xingyu Game Group After all, they belong to the same country, and Xingyu Game Group belongs to an external force.

Now this is a desert in the game development industry. The electronics major here has only been opened for a few years, and there are not many students. It is obviously impossible to rely on this to support the development of Xingyu Game Group. In this regard, we still need to think about it in Baodao. At the same time, establish a branch in Japan to directly recruit talents for research.

Li Guangyu said: "The group has set up an angel fund. As long as individuals and companies with good game ideas can get investment in us, we can cultivate more game development companies, and at the same time allow our group to have more game development companies to serve us. The group will set up a jury to evaluate the projects of these companies and individuals who want to obtain financing.”

In this way, these game development companies will all have shares in Xingyu Game Group in the future, and they will basically be tied to Xingyu Game Group. The games they develop will also serve Xingyu Game Group, so there is no need to worry about Japan’s recurrence of the event.

Li Xuemei said: "Sheng Li, I will establish angel investment funds in Xiangjiang, Taipei, Tokyo, and Los Angeles, mainly to provide financing services for game development companies, and cultivate many high-quality game development companies for our group."

Now their Xingyu Group has plenty of funds. Since the beginning of this year, their group's profits have not been withdrawn by Li Guangyu. In addition to the 25 billion Hong Kong dollars left over from last year, they now have more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars in their accounts.

Apart from investing in semiconductor companies, they don't have much need for the funds at the moment. If it weren't for the fact that there aren't any large game companies worth acquiring by the group, Li Xuemei would be able to go straight to the one-pot deal.

Now the major groups under the Li Family Consortium have their own ideas. They no longer want multiple groups to share a building. They also hope to have an office building named after their own group.

At present, this building will be renamed Starlight Building in the future. The new building will be Wheelock Building, and Jiayi will also build a new Jiayi Building. As the first group under Li, Xingyu Group naturally wants to build Xingyu building.
