Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

July 13, 2000.

The annual E3 electronics show kicked off in Los Angeles.

The theme of this year's exhibition is "Beyond Imagination". More than 280 game developers attended, 2,400 games will be on display, and 62,000 visitors will attend.

It is worth mentioning that Chinese software vendors finally joined the ranks of E3 at this exhibition.

The RTS game "Three Kingdoms" produced by Target Software will appear at the Eidos booth, which is of far-reaching significance for domestic games.

The pre-exhibition press conference has not yet begun. Pokeni is so domineering at this exhibition that even the powerful Sony pales in comparison.

This time, Qing Zhiyuan did not make any special demands to the organizer. He just reported the list of exhibitors from pokeni, and the organizer gave them a main C position.

The real hall is located against the wall in the middle, and is very large, almost as big as half a football field.

Specially provided to pokeni for exhibition.

Just in line with Qing Zhiyuan's intention.

…

Correspondingly, neither Sony nor Rentiantian enjoyed such good treatment.

Sony's exhibition space is still very large, but it's only about two-thirds the size of pokeni, and Rentendo is even smaller.

EA is about the same size as Sony.

But in terms of game sales, pokeni currently ranks first in the world. Last year, it firmly occupied the top spot in the world with more than 56 million game sales.

Then there are EA, Sony, and Rentian.

Sony's income mainly relies on royalties from its own game consoles. Rentian is resting on its laurels. The Super Mario series still achieved good success last year.

Therefore, judging from the sales performance of game manufacturers alone, the location arrangement of this exhibition area is quite reasonable.

However, Kutaragi Ken still cannot accept it personally.

Last year, we were still discussing swordsmanship in Huashan, and the four best in the world were the best.

Why did pokeni become the only one this year?

Kutaragi Ken is not very able to understand this problem.

It stands to reason that judging from the company's size and market share, it is obvious that Sony still has the upper hand. Although Omi's DC is very competitive, Neon's Sony's PS still has a monopoly.

But seeing how everyone was fawning over Qing Jigen, Kutaragi Ken always had the illusion that pokeni was the boss.

…

As soon as Qing Zhiyuan arrived at the scene, almost all game manufacturers and agents unconsciously moved closer to him.

It's like Qing Zhiyuan, a huge magnet.

This young president, who is nearly 40 years old, has taken a step of disowning his relatives and wants to pull as much as possible.

Along the way, Square's Miyamoto Masashi, Konami, Koei... a lot of game manufacturers came over to chat with Qing Zhiyuan alone.

“Pokeni’s game sales were the champion again last year. I’m so envious. I don’t know when Square will achieve such results.

If only Final Fantasy had half the sales of Pokémon. "

"No, no," Qing Zhiyuan lowered his head and whispered to Miyamoto Masashi, "President Miyamoto, if you choose to sell it on the Dandelion Game Platform, sales will definitely increase greatly."

What Qing Zhiyuan said was not a lie.

This year, with several DC exclusives, such as AIR and the 86 sequel... the sales of Sega's DC game consoles have exploded, and the market share has instantly surpassed Sony's by 11 points.

The Omi area is almost close to 55.

Neon has also opened up the situation.

However, this is only based on the share of game consoles. If we look at the share of platforms, the current Dandelion Game Platform can be said to be the largest game platform in the world.

The market share in the Oumi region is in an absolute leading position.

In China, Dandelion Game Platform has almost a complete monopoly.

Fortunately, China does not have anti-monopoly policies for so-called gaming platforms, so whether it is Pokeni or its subsidiary Penguin, they are still alive and well.

It can be seen from the attitude of these game developers towards Qing Zhiyuan, who represents the future.

pokeni's dandelion platform has become too big to be ignored, so they want to curry favor with Qing Zhiyuan.

Hearing Daoqing Zhiyuan's whisper, the big stone in Miyamoto Masashi's heart finally fell to the ground, and he laughed.

"Qingsang, Final Fantasy 9 is already under development and is expected to be available on the Dandelion game platform next year."

Miyamoto Masashi did not say DC, but the Dandelion gaming platform, which shows that in his perception, the Dandelion gaming platform is what truly represents the future.

Qing Zhiyuan smiled and said, "Welcome to the pokeni platform. It's a great honor."

Miyamoto Masashi got the answer he was satisfied with, so he withdrew from the army of followers, and others immediately filled the vacancy.

Qing Zhiyuan was surrounded by people.

"Pokeni's technology is really awesome. The 86 sequel is simply amazing. It can make a war chess game to this level."

"Being able to get a perfect score of 40 points feels like drinking water. Pokeni's game is as amazing as ever."

"Let me tell you, Famiton only gave 40 points, which is too little. If it were me, I would simply give each editor 10 more points of autonomy and give the 86 sequel up to 80 points. "

Tsk, Qing Zhiyuan looked back.

I found out that he was the president of a newly opened small company. I can’t remember his name, but the young man spoke very nicely.

Qing Zhiyuan likes little cuties like this.

…

Ed Fleiss, head of Microsoft's gaming department, had green eyes, staring at the high-spirited Qing Zhiyuan. He wanted to light up Qing Zhiyuan even if he smoked a cigarette.

In terms of personal hatred for Qing Zhiyuan, Fleiss is definitely unique in the entire venue.

Take Ken Kutaragi of Sony, for example, he is at most in awe of pokeni and treats him as a competitor, but he has no hatred at all for Aochigen himself.

Not only did he not hate him, but on the contrary, Kutaragi Ken especially admired and liked this guy who was similar to himself.

This is probably what heroes cherish heroes.

But Fleiss has a personal hatred for Qing Zhiyuan, and of course he also hates pokeni, and even hates all neon game companies.

Qing Zhiyuan is like a little devil. Last year, he was bewitched by Bill Gates, the chairman of Microsoft, after a few words alone.

Otherwise, Microsoft will not exchange equity with pokeni and give up its own console business development.

Although Microsoft executives still believe that this deal is a good deal, especially after the Internet bubble crisis, Microsoft's stock price plummeted, but because of the purchase of pokeni's equity, this high-quality asset has stabilized Microsoft shareholders.

The valuation of pokeni last year was more than 60 billion US dollars. After the Internet bubble crisis, the valuation not only did not decrease, but also increased.

The valuation of P agency by third-party institutions has risen to more than 80 billion US dollars.

One rise and one fall, what a bargain this deal is.

This is why Bill Gates strongly requested Fleiss to support pokeni at this year's E3 electronics show.

This is based on a community of stakeholders at the company level, so there are naturally no problems.

But what about Fleiss as an individual?

A great opportunity to show off his talent was deprived of him by Qing Zhiyuan.

According to Fleiss's vision, once Microsoft's own game console, which he leads, is successfully developed, the company will definitely make a big bet in order to open up the market for the game department. Even if it costs money, it will certainly be able to burn out a whole world.

By then, this game console will successfully equal Sony and even surpass Sony in the next few years.

Then Fries, who has accomplished these feats, will definitely be regarded as a hero by the senior management, and he will also firmly have the right to speak about Microsoft games.

But now...

Hey, my face is filled with tears when I talk about it.

Fleiss felt as if Qing Zhiyuan had faced a minotaur in front of him.

It was obviously me who came first! Fake Qing Zhiyuan, this mistress actually rose to the top.

…

As Qing Zhiyuan's pace continued to approach, Fleiss quickly stood up, straightened his body like a soldier, and looked at him with a little excitement, puffing out his chest.

Qing Zhiyuan walked up to Fleiss and showed a gentle and friendly smile, "We meet again, Mr. Fleiss."

"Ah, yes, that..."

Fleiss scratched the curly hair on the back of his head, "Mr. Gates asked us to support pokeni. This time Microsoft also brought many high-quality games, all developed based on the DC platform."

"Thank you for your hard work." Qing Zhiyuan nodded slightly, then smiled politely and walked towards the pokeni exhibition area.

After he left, Fleiss was particularly depressed.

ah……

Farke, Farke! !

Damn Qing Zhiyuan.

But the question is, why am I so useless? It's obvious that he stole your position Fleiss, why do you still press your hot face against his cold ass?

It can only be said that the adult world is full of hypocrisy and helplessness.

…

"It seems that these third parties have turned to pokeni again?"

On Sony's side, Jeffrey Tovani, the head of Sony's US exhibition area, leaned into Kutaragi Ken's ear and said.

Kutaragi Ken just sighed and said nothing.

Whether or not to defect is actually the norm in the industry. Third parties are actually weak parties in front of Sony and pokeni who have the right to speak.

Kutaragi Ken was once one of these disadvantaged parties, so he can especially understand it.

If small companies want to survive in the cracks, they naturally have to please both sides.

The market and businesses were seized by pokeni. Apart from envying them for their superb technology, I mostly blamed myself for being useless.

I originally thought that the moat cast by PS was wide enough, and there was a high wall behind it, so it would not be easily attacked.

Who knows that on pokeni's side, using the DC game console to attack Chen Cang is fake, but using the Dandelion game platform to secretly attack Chen Cang is real.

The two sides work together so seamlessly that it's hard not to be eroded.

The game machine can defend against it, but if troops are dropped directly into the city from the sky through the transport plane of the Dandelion Game Platform, the moat will not be of much use.

I have to say that this guy Qing Zhiyuan is really an amazing genius.

In every sense.

When he thought of this, Kutaragi Ken's admiration for him deepened.
