I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 260 Expanding the Advantages of the Monopoly Global Game!Continue to develop more new games! !
Empire Games' second game "Pac-Man" hit the market, igniting the global arcade market again.

A month later, it was December 1978.

The "Pac-Man" game console has just been on the market for the first month, and the global sales have directly exploded.

Orders from Toyo's agents exceeded 5 units.

Agent orders from country M exceeded 5 units.

More than 3 units have been ordered by agents from various countries in Southeast Asia.

More than 5 orders from agents in European countries.

More than 1 units were ordered from Korean agents.

Orders from Wanwan agents exceeded 0.5 units.

Among them, the combined sales volume of Xiangjiang and Haojiang agents exceeds 1000 units.

Xiangjiang is mainly purchased from the owner of the game console bar. Many investors made a lot of money buying the first game "Space Invaders". money, even at the expense of borrowing money to buy it.

On the Haojiang side, the population of Haojiang itself is very small.

This time, He Hongyan asked people to buy 100 of the game machines, and he asked people to put these game machines in every corner of the casino he operated.

Unexpectedly, it seems that the income of each unit is not much, but it is actually making a lot of money every day.

At that time, he also knew that operating arcade games could make a lot of money every day.

When He Hongyan had just purchased 100 units, Ye Han, his deadly rival, also bought 200 units, and you can see these game machines in crowded places on the three major islands of the Haojiang River. figure.

. . .

Office of the Chairman of Empire Games.

Akiyoshi Fujiwara, the sales director of Empire Games, was reporting to Yang Ming the orders of agents from various countries in detail.

In fact, the orders of these agents are all orders from game players from various countries. The buyers have already paid the deposit. As long as these agents get the game consoles, they will immediately send them to the players in the order of order.

Yang Ming remembered that the first "Space Invaders" had just been released in April. In the first month, the global sales exceeded 4 units. It really shocked the global game industry at that time.

They didn't expect that the revenue of the popular game was so high, and the profit was also very high.

After that, because "Space Invaders" did not authorize other third-party games, the global sales of "Space Invaders" have exceeded 40 units, or even nearly 50 units, which brought more than 30 billion US dollars to the Empire Group. income.

Today, the Pac-Man game has just been launched, and it seems to be more popular than "Space Invaders".

"Chairman, according to the current global sales order statistics, it has reached nearly 20 units, which is twice that of the first game just launched a month ago, and the revenue is nearly 13 billion US dollars, which is twice the sales and revenue of the first game. According to those Feedback from agents shows that this game is more popular with women around the world."

"Pac-Man" and "Space Invaders" still play differently, but, compared with "Space Invaders", Pac-Man may indeed be more popular with women around the world.

In Europe, America, and Eastern countries, in fact, many women's incomes, or women with a good family background can afford a "Pac-Man" game console.

Yang Ming knew that in history, overall, the income of "Space Invaders" was higher than that of "Pac-Man".

In the future, these games will not only be arcade game versions, but can also be displayed on handhelds, or even on computers, mobile phones, etc. Through the upgrading model, these game consoles can continue to collect money, but at that time , the price must be much cheaper.

In the future, some of these will be updated, and it may only cost a few tens of dollars at most to download such a genuine game to play.

If Yang Ming wants to earn more or occupy more markets, he can authorize cooperation with Toyo game console companies, such as Namco, and even Nintendo.

It can even be authorized to M Country Atari Company for cooperation.

In this way, the income of the Empire Game Company from licensing or sharing is very high.

Yang Ming knew that before that time, he didn't need to feed these game console companies.

"Sales are not bad."

Yang Ming said.

This was in his expectation.

If he had set the price lower, the sales would surely have been higher.

Fujiwara Akiyoshi was surprised.

In the eyes of the boss, this is actually just very good.

This game is really from the hands of Empire Games, and it is completely different from the first game purchased from Taidong.

Why does the boss just say it's not bad?

In Yang Ming's eyes, these two games just represent the golden stage of global arcade games.However, it does not mean that the global game has entered the golden stage.

In other words, in his eyes, just like that, it is much better than these two games.

It's just that it hasn't been developed yet, and it hasn't been listed yet.

Yang Ming and Akiyoshi Fujiwara finished chatting.

After Akiyoshi Fujiwara left.

Tomohiro Nishikaku, Director of Empire Game Design Department, came in.

"Boss, about our new game development next?"

During this period, Tomohiro Nishikabe and others were not on vacation, but were improving the released "Space Invaders" and "Pac-Man".

For a game company, only when a steady stream of new games are launched can it monopolize the global market.

Tomohiro Nishikaku is a model worker and a desperate Saburo.

He used to be like that in Toyo's Taito Company.

After coming to Xiangjiang, he was even more like that.

Apart from going home from get off work to spend time with my family, there are basically no other activities.

"Tomohiro Nishikaku, I have already prepared for the new game of our empire game company. This time, there will be many new games jointly developed."

"Lots of new games?"

Tomohiro Nishikaku was very excited and didn't look tired at all.

When Yang Ming brought out the relevant game design structure diagrams, concepts, gameplay, etc., Tomohiro Nishikaku looked more and more surprised.

"Boss, are you thinking of these?"

"That's it."

Of course, Yang Ming couldn't think of it by himself. This is just a game he found using the memory of his previous life.

Like the first "Xiangjiang Square", it was originally a casual game invented by Alexei Pajitnov in June 1984.

The game has been represented by many companies.

After many rounds of litigation, the agency rights of the game were finally obtained by Nintendo.

Nintendo means a lot to Goose Ross, because pairing it with GB has been a huge success.

This game was often played by Yang Ming in his previous life. Of course not only him, but also children from all over the world. Adults like to play it very much.

However, now that Yang Ming has developed it in advance, it will naturally not be called the Goose Ross Cube, but the Xiangjiang Cube.

"Boss, this Xiangjiang Cube is very interesting."

"That's right, it's the pioneering work of our company's first handheld game console."

Xijiao Youhong really has to admire the power of the boss Mr. Yang. If you play it as a handheld, you can play it anytime and anywhere, and you can even forget the time.

""Little Bee", boss, I think it looks very similar to "Space Invaders."

"Tomohiro Nishikabe, this is a parody of "Space Invaders."

Historically, this is Namco's imitation of the game Space Invaders, which was a great success in Toyo, and was later licensed to Nintendo, which became even more popular in the global market.

Yang Ming won't let Nanmenggong imitate anymore, let's see what he will imitate again.

"Snake? Looks similar to Pac-Man."

. . .

Like these, Tomohiro Nishikaku does not see any challenges.

When Tomohiro Nishikaku saw the R&D plan and gameplay of "Arcade Fighter", he was stunned.
