Please make money.

The more shipments, the larger the user base and the more developers.

The neighboring competitor's channel takes 30% of the commission, but Alia is unethical and only takes 20%. In this era of chaos in the industry, there is no shortage of heroes who will jump ship and engage in development.

Coupled with the fact that she is about to launch the Steam platform, to put it bluntly, game developers have to consider making basic porting for AOS even if they don't want to see the other side.

Unfortunately, Mr. Lei has not brought any good news yet, and Alia is planning to pick up Xiao Liu's legacy production line and get involved in the research and development and production of the PC side.

"I have to have something to sell... I plan to add a few more special functions to the notebook."

Maybe it's not so special? After all, it has been done before.

"What special features?"

"HDMIin, commonly known as the video input function, can connect to other devices and use the laptop screen as a display."

"Ah...ah?" Lele was stunned for a moment: "Why do you want to do this?"

"Because others don't have matching game consoles, but I do."

Not only laptops but also tablets are produced. The main feature of Ai Group's electronic products is interconnection.

From wired to wireless, from multi-tasking to multi-terminal, Ai, a time traveler from another world, has too many ways to play with it as a gimmick.

Relying on gimmicks may not necessarily be able to dominate the industry, but it will definitely be fun.

"More importantly, I want to play like this myself." Alia smiled slightly: "I will even make cloud games. A thin and light notebook with a battery life of 12 hours, cloud gaming, and a weight of 1000 grams, is the favorite of office workers."

A social animal is no longer a college animal, nor is he the master who can maneuver freely while carrying a martial artist's notebook.

For those who drink health-preserving fruit tea, an extra hundred grams in their backpack is the straw that breaks the camel's back during their commute, otherwise thin and light laptops would not be so popular in the market.

But that's all in the future, Alia just thinks it's fun now.

"This is the worst era, but also the best era. If I have to say something good, it is that I now have the power to intervene in the market."

I followed the advice of netizens and made a mobile phone, but I lost everything.

But what if I am a netizen myself?

Industry! I'm here to make trouble.

……

……

The plane that the Glass Slag team was on landed at the New Baiyunqiao Airport, and the receiving convoy took them to the group's park headquarters.

Outside the car window, they were a little surprised by the prosperity of Tianhai.

"Wow... Is Donghuang developing so well?"

"Have you been here before?"

"Well, I climbed the Great Wall before. Thirty years ago? I was very young at that time, and my parents were very keen on traveling around the world."

"Then why don't you go along?"

"Maybe it's because they can't have an unexpected person like me in their world of two..."

As a gaming company with a strong geek spirit and culture, the employees of Glass Broken Company put technology first, to put it nicely, but to put it bluntly, they are all otakus.

What they are crazy about is how to polish the business instead of spending energy on verbal marketing.

Even when Alia was reading the World of Warcraft development log, she discovered that the philosophy this guy had learned from working at Blizzard for decades was to belittle marketing.

So when they were at their peak, it was rare to see them frequently and regularly planning various external activities for the game in their daily lives.

Compared to other games that are keen on advertising, these technical guys will only make necessary releases and explanations at necessary time nodes and development progress.

They have too much daddy vibe, they can play around if they want - but at that time they were indeed the big daddies of the industry.

Of course, the drawbacks of this geek spirit naturally brought them some troubles: the game lacked operational thinking, and they did not know how to use operational thinking to promote activity and acquire customers.

Being too focused on the development of the business itself, one fails to notice the trends of excellent works on the market, and is unable to learn from the secrets of success of peers.

Alia doesn't care that her team is composed of tech geeks, because she will arrange for other people to provide these supporting services.

Glass Shards didn't know what Alia expected of them. After all, at this moment, they themselves didn't even dare to expect the fans' expectations.

With a nervous mentality as they were about to go overseas to negotiate with their new employer, they listed and crossed out the conditions in the small notebook over and over again.

Alia's name is well-known in the industry - the golden dragon from the East.

But what they bought was Activision, and the glass shards were just gifts, the kind that neither grandma nor uncle would love.

Can we really negotiate terms with that golden dragon?

The two leaders looked at each other bitterly. The higher the treatment and the better the conditions, the more uncertain they became.

No matter how you look at it, Alia is a super capitalist. Would such a big shot care about the suggestions of a few technical geeks?

The convoy went around and around and finally arrived at the Hoshino Hotel, where they asked the visiting overseas employees to put their belongings away before visiting the headquarters.

The Blizzard team, which was highly valued by Alia, received treatment comparable to that of Activision executives, which made the latter a little unhappy.

"Hey--John, did they make a mistake?"

"What?" One of the leaders of the Glass Slag team looked up blankly: "Who?"

"You're staying in the same executive suite as me?"

"No, I'm in the Ambassador Suite..."

"So I said maybe they made a mistake, I am the team leader this time!"

Well, Senior Executive is in a bad mood.

John shrugged and handed him the room card: "If you need it."

Jack, who was standing next to him, looked at all this coldly: "Do you think this was a random accident?"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know if it's an illusion, but from the email exchanges, I feel that His Majesty the Golden Dragon has communicated with us much more than with Activision."

As a condition for joining Activision, Blizzard Studios requested autonomy - you can make requests, but you cannot interfere in management.

Therefore, Glass Slag Studio is now a complete team that follows orders rather than announcements.

This is somewhat similar to the European feudal system of "my vassal is not my monarch's vassal"...

As the supreme emperor, His Majesty the Golden Dragon annexed the Grand Duchy of Activision in one breath.

Marquis Glass, who was under the Grand Duke, should not have been able to bypass the Grand Duke and directly pledge allegiance to the Emperor.

This is the disadvantage of not having a centralized culture. Everyone does their own thing, and many of today's large-scale commercial mergers and acquisitions also follow this style.

"What if His Majesty the Golden Dragon recruits us directly?"

"...Is there such a good thing?"

"We still have a contract with Activision."

"Come on, if you can spend tens of millions of dollars to buy a distribution company, you don't mind spending a little more money."

That’s right, Activision’s main business today is not even making games, but distributing games.

In the Atari era, Atari monopolized the distribution rights of games, and had to sell games made by others.

Activision was the first third-party distribution company born on this basis, so many people suspect that Alia bought Activision in order to interfere with the distribution channels.

Of course, the truth is that it's Arya who's going crazy and wants everything, and no one knows who she's going to get until she's completely finished with the Baron.

The medical industry in Sakura City has a lot to say about this: Thanks for the invitation, I got screwed...

John and Jack felt that things were going to turn out like some urban movie.

A poor boy with a dream, a well-dressed corporate executive, a super-rich man who invests in his dreams, and so on.

But just as they were thinking this, an accident happened.

"……guest?"

John and Jack, who were the guests themselves, looked at the waitress in confusion: "Did they make a mistake? We just came--"

"No, that's right." The waitress led them to the hotel's reception room, where a group of people were already discussing something.

As soon as John and Jack went in, the three people in the lead turned their heads back.

Shigeru Miyamoto! Satoshi Tajiri! Hideo Kojima!

The producers of the three major brands that have become famous in the current gaming industry have gathered here, as if they have been waiting for a long time.

Shigeru Miyamoto and Satoshi Tajiri looked towards Hideo Kojima, and it was obvious that the latter was the main person in this "exchange".

“Nice to meet you two!” Kojima Hideo shook their hands. “Glad to see you here!”

"Uh... sorry, are we on the right plane? We are in Donghuang now, not Sakura Empire, right?"

"Of course it's Donghuang. We were also summoned by the eldest lady."

Hideo Kojima's English is good, but when he addressed the eldest lady, he did not use the direct translation such as "eldestdaughter", but said "princess", which made these two people unable to do it at once.

Huh? Princess of Donghuang? Does Donghuang have such a thing?

Fortunately, after a while of talking at cross purposes, I finally figured out the reason.

It turned out that because Alia valued Glass Shard's technical staff, she transferred her own game development technical staff from Sakura Empire overnight, and everyone exchanged ideas with each other.

Otherwise, just visiting administrative offices and the like would be too boring for these technical guys.

In addition, Hideo Kojima has another important task——

"I have a request. Although it is very rude, please listen to me first."

"please say."

"Can you guys replace all the games that have not yet been developed with the new game engine?"

"……ah???"
