Number One Game Designer

In the end, of course Fang Xi didn't say anything like that.

It can only be said that Satoshi Jundao's attitude is too clear, which makes it difficult for Fang Xi to think wrongly.

From the beginning to the end, even from the very beginning of this trip to Japan, Satoshi Kimishima's attitude towards Fang Xi was very clear: win over.

Surrounded by the great enemy Sofa, and Microsoft, who doesn't know whether it is an enemy or a friend, is watching from the sidelines. The old home computer lost money, and it is difficult to rely on the small handheld market-they urgently need it. To restore the market for home consoles, not to mention achieving the dominance in the past, at least reach a state where the previous profit status can compete with its own handheld consoles, rather than the state of subsidizing home consoles that needs revenue from handheld consoles.

So for Kimishima Satoshi, the current style of acting is easy to guess, try to win over producers who can win over. Fang Xi felt this point himself: Ever since Hongyi informed Chongya, who came to visit for the first time, that Hongyi had no interest in developing his own mainframe, Lao Ren’s support for Hongyi had reached a new level—— A top game producer that has no fundamental conflict of interest with him in the future, isn't this what all hosts are eager for?

And Fang Xi, who made the earliest decision that Hongyi would not develop its own mainframe, had already anticipated the situation today: Suofa probably would not be so interested in Hongyi. For them, having a global share of more than 60% is their confidence. Anyone with such a share will have the confidence not to ask for help: Shouldn’t your game developers beg us? Don't get me wrong hey!

Of course, Fang Xi is not interested in coming to ask for help. For him, the current Hongyi, the current Honghu platform, of course, the main force is undoubtedly the PC, and the PC alone can stand and live well, so there is no need to go ask for help. So there are only two people who win me over next: Lao Ren and Microsoft.

And if one of the two is really rich and powerful, it must be Microsoft. For Microsoft, their revenue on PCs is enough for them to squander in other fields and still have a surplus. It is really the Windows operating system that monopolizes too much. Stable installed capacity, so even if their hosts lose money every year, they don't care-this is a little bit of money.

Therefore, from the very beginning, there was only one old man in the choice of Hongyi's cooperation partner: neither rich nor powerful, nor a high market share, just like the Shu Kingdom in the Three Kingdoms, individual talents are treasures, and Hongyi is of course It's up to the price to be Liu Bei's Zhuge Kongming once.

So Fang Xi spied in every possible way, so Fang Xi guessed the new host of the old Ren, so Fang Xi made Amuro think that Hong Yi had the choice to use this information to find Sofa and Microsoft. But in fact, how much can this news be sold even if it goes to the other two? With this as a condition, it is the best treatment to obtain the conditions in the old office.

"What does Fang Jun think about the current trend of the game market?"

This is Kimishima Satoshi's question.

Fang Xi threw those unreliable contents out of his mind, took a sip of tea and shook his head:

"President Kimishima already understands why you need to ask me? Since I guessed that your company's new console is blurring the boundaries between home consoles and handheld consoles, it shows that what we can think of is actually the same. In the faster and faster era, the use of fragmented time by portable hosts will become more and more prominent. The faster everyone’s life is, the greater the advantage of the new host NC.”

Lao Ren's new host is named CHANGE, so according to the abbreviation habit, this host can also be called NC, although Fang Xi thinks it's weird...

"Fragmented time..." Satoshi Jundao silently read the term Fang Xi said, nodded and praised:

"Very good summarizing noun."

"The initial plan for CHANGE's project was not as far-reaching as expected."

"After the fiasco of WiiU, our board of directors reflected quickly, and we knew that this console must succeed, because Ren's cannot withstand the blow of two consecutive console failures."

"To us,

If two consecutive generations of consoles are failures, then we will be in danger of saying goodbye to the console market completely, so for me, I am actually very envious of Sofa and Microsoft. They have a solid backing and sufficient trials. wrong ability. This is what Ren's does not have. "

"So CHANG is actually the safest work for us, because what we are best at is handheld, and for CHANG, we just want to give a console the characteristics of a handheld. Handheld is also our greatest strength, so that The 'change' is pretty sure."

Fang Xi rubbed his head, and here he realized that it was actually his habitual thinking. He always thought that Lao Ren had seen the potential of mobile games, but he didn't consider that this was a desperate gamble that combined his own characteristics of making handheld games. Thinking about it, the research funding for a console can be said to be sky-high, and Lao Ren is a company that focuses on the game field and basically has no other derivative fields. For them, if two consoles GG are connected, although it is not enough He was sentenced to death, but his vitality was definitely damaged.

"As for us now, we really hope to reach a deeper strategic partnership with Hongyi." Satoshi Jundao's eyes sparkled.

Facing Jundao Satoshi's gaze, Fang Xi felt a chill, and an old man looked at you with anticipation in his eyes, no one would have such a happy mood. Fang Xi almost thought that he was going to turn around and take off his clothes now.

Shaking his head and throwing away those unreliable thoughts, Fang Xi said:

"Just like your company's insistence on handhelds, Hongyi is also very firm on the PC route now. You want to bring about changes in consoles. I want to make my Honghu platform the number one PC. So for now, It’s good for us to maintain the current relationship. Your company said your own needs, if we can do it, then we don’t mind cooperating. As for the deeper ones, I don’t think it’s necessary for the time being.”

Strategic partnerships sound good, but what Fang Xi himself is more aware of is that there are actually not many market crossovers between consoles and PCs. To put it bluntly, these are basically two platforms, and some functions that are easy to deploy on PCs or Linking to the host requires various adaptations, not to mention that assassins may need a lot of buttons in the later stage, and maybe a special sub-menu is required.

So if the relationship mentioned above is really achieved, then for the sake of Hongyi's reputation, the production of games in the future may require two platforms and two production teams to start simultaneously, and each production team needs to do different games for different platforms. Adaptation, which is basically asking for guilt.

Fang Xi is very clear about the positioning of himself and Hongyi: to lead this era of games, to be a person who leads the trend and sets standards, instead of being a model worker, then there is no meaning at all.

Optimizing the world's PC game development environment through the Honghu platform, so that all the games you like can support yourself more easily, this is Fang Xi's goal, and cooperating with Ren's is of no benefit to this goal, Fang Xi was out of his mind when he refused very clear.

Satoshi Jundao sighed, but it was a good result to get Fang Xi's "entrustment" promise. He picked up a cup of tea and said to Fang Xi:

"Then please."
