Resource Tycoon Reborn

Chapter 336 Half a day

Mikami Shinji and Uda Naka were both shocked. They never expected that Fang Mingyuan actually had the ambition to annex Capcom! In excitement, Uda Naka almost knocked over the dessert in front of him!

Although capcom has been in trouble in recent years and faced serious financial losses, a large number of old employees have left, causing great damage to the company's vitality. In the 1996 New Year issue of the daily magazine "Famitsu", as usual, many big names in the game industry were invited to express New Year messages.

At that time, Capcom President Masaki Senmoto was ranked second to last, which can be said to be a rare bleak situation in the past.

But after all, Capcom was once the leader among Japanese game companies. It is said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. An unknown American game company, even with the support of Fang Mingyuan behind it, wanted to annex Capcom. After Uda Naka and Mikami

In the eyes of both Shinji, it is still not an easy task. Because the Senbon family that controls Capcom is not a family that will bow its head easily.

"Fang Jun, I'm afraid this is not an easy task!" Uda Naka said solemnly, "Hey, that old guy Senmoto Masaki is not a person who will give up Capcom!"

Fang Mingyuan knew that the founder of capcom, which was founded in 1980, was Senmoto Masaki. It was capcom that made him a famous figure in the Japanese industry and acquired an extremely huge family fortune. Capcom seemed to be his child, so naturally

It is impossible to transfer Capcom to Blizzard just like this.

But... the business world is cruel and ruthless. Capital devouring and mergers are happening all the time in this world. In the process of development and growth, capcom has also merged many companies in the same industry. And to today's situation, if

If no miracle happens to Capcom in the near future, then at the latest next year, when the Southeast Asian financial crisis breaks out, the Senbon family will face the fate of either bankruptcy and liquidation of Capcom, or being annexed by other companies!

It’s good to be a reborn person!

"Director Uda, many things in this world cannot be changed by one's own will! President Masaki Senmoto must also have a very deep understanding of this!" Fang Mingyuan said, "Many things cannot be changed without trying.

Once you try it, how can you know whether it works or not?"

Uda Naka and Mikami Shinji looked at each other. It seems that Fang Mingyuan is indeed interested in acquiring Capcom. If this spreads out, it will definitely cause an earthquake in the Japanese gaming industry!

"Director Yutian, I have one more thing to ask the company for help with." Fang Mingyuan did not continue to dwell on this topic.

"Fang Jun, please speak!" Uda Naka bowed slightly. The booming sales of "Resident Evil" have undoubtedly further strengthened Fang Mingyuan's voice in Sega Corporation. Although he is not currently the largest shareholder,

How dare the board of directors of Sega Corporation ignore his request.

"Blizzard will launch a turn-based strategy game on PC in the near future - "Heroes of Might and Magic". It will be sold in Japan. I hope the company can help promote it. Blizzard will pay the company the market price.

Cost." Fang Mingyuan said softly, "I wonder if the company is willing to do it?"

""Heroes of Might and Magic"? It's from the "Might and Magic" series of games produced by Mr. Jovan Kanchem..." Before Uda Naka could answer, Mikami Shinji, who looked surprised, had already asked urgently

road.

"Side story!" Fang Mingyuan said, "Mr. Qiao Van Kanchem is now the deputy general manager of Blizzard."

"Wait a minute, Fang Jun, is the Blizzard company you are talking about the former Chaos Game Studio that launched the "Warcraft" game the year before and last?" Uda Naka couldn't sit still this time, and stood up from his chair.

He jumped up and said.

"Master, do you need anything else?" Seeing Uda Naka standing up, a girl trotted over and asked.

"No, no, no, I don't need anything." Uda Zhong waved his hand, but stared directly into Fang Mingyuan's eyes and said, "Fang Jun, when did you acquire it?"

Shinji Mikami and Naka Uda could not control their excitement at this time. Although they are manufacturers and game developers of home game consoles, this does not mean that they do not pay attention to the development of computer games at all.

The Might and Magic series of games is one of the three major European and American RPG games along with the Genesis and Wizardry series. It is famous among game enthusiasts around the world. Just like few readers who like fantasy novels don’t know about Dragonlance and Dragonlance.

Just like "The Lord of the Rings"! The "Magic and Magic" series, which was born in 1986, has now reached its fifth generation and has received excellent response all over the world.

Chaos Game Studio is also well-known in the Japanese gaming industry because several of their games have been ported by Nintendo and have achieved good results. But what made them even more famous were the games released in 1994 and 1999 respectively.

The "Warcraft" series of games launched five years ago!

Once "Warcraft" was launched, it caused a huge response all over the world.

Although many people believe that "Warcraft" is a follow-up work to the popular "Dune 2" at the time, its pioneering real-time strategy online mode pointed out the development direction for subsequent multiplayer modes of real-time strategy games.

direction, and the operation settings of a large number of shortcut keys also laid the foundation for the future development of the game. What is more worth mentioning is that the random map generator that comes with the game is also the first thing to appear in a real-time strategy game, which makes it

Many players who are tired of playing fixed maps have added a lot of fun to the game. In "Warcraft", the principle of "fighting with others is endless fun" has been excellently verified.

The launch of "Warcraft 2" in 1995 and the subsequent expansion packs established Blizzard's position in the gaming industry! Although the expansion packs have not yet been officially launched, these two games are popular around the world.

The success achieved and the huge profits gained are obvious to everyone.

Many large companies have extended an olive branch to Blizzard for mergers and acquisitions, but everyone at Blizzard has completely ignored this. It turns out that Fang Mingyuan is the real power behind Blizzard!

"Director Uda, please sit down. When I acquired it in 1994, Blizzard was indeed called Chaos Game Studio. The name Blizzard was changed later." Fang Mingyuan was already very proud in his heart, but on the surface he pretended to be nonchalant.

Authentic. The moods of Uda Naka and Mikami Shinji at this moment can be said to be so exciting that it’s hard to describe!

Such an emerging company that has made a name for itself in the computer game industry was actually founded by Fang Mingyuan. The two of them couldn't help but admire Fang Mingyuan's investment vision and superb attainments in game production!

With Blizzard, it means that Fang Mingyuan has enough influence and a voice that cannot be ignored, whether in the field of home game consoles or in the computer field! In fact, this is because they don't know that Fang Mingyuan is still Microsoft's third party

Major shareholder, otherwise, my jaw would probably drop.

"Fang Jun, there is absolutely no problem. Sega Corporation will definitely do its best to help Blizzard promote it in Japan!" Uda Naka said decisively. Not to mention that Fang Mingyuan is behind Blizzard, just because of Blizzard's excellent game production

ability, Sega Co., Ltd. must also add more to it. Who can guarantee that Blizzard will not enter the home game console market in the future?

Fang Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction. Of course Blizzard also has its own sales agency in Japan, but Fang Mingyuan believes that Sega Corporation's sales system is naturally better. He wants to see where "Heroes of Might and Magic" is available.

With the help of Sega Corporation, what kind of results can be achieved? Can it surpass the previous life?

Now that Jovan Canhem has been recruited to Blizzard, he definitely doesn't want "Heroes of Might and Magic" to follow the same old path!

Today's "Heroes of Might and Magic" is different from the original version in the previous life. Under Fang Mingyuan's "interference", the playability has been significantly improved. This is why its release has been delayed until 1996.

main reason.

"Fang Jun, I will also inform my former colleagues. I believe they will be extremely happy to know that they can work with Mr. Jovan Kanchem!" Shinji Mikami was also overjoyed. If it weren't for these two

All companies are under Fang Mingyuan's control. For a moment, he also thought of going to Blizzard Company.

"Ishihara-kun, when will the goods be delivered?" Ryunosukezo was already worried at this time. The store had 1,700 sets in stock, and 300 sets of "Resident Evil" bundled with the Saturn console.

, there are still less than 400 units left in total, and the long queue at the door of the store is still not smaller than when it opened. If this continues, the remaining goods will only last less than an hour! Even the customers currently waiting in line

Not even satisfied!

But the delivery truck has been nowhere to be seen. How could Ryunosuke not be worried and angry about it?

"Long Zhijun, the goods have just been sent out. I believe it should be delivered in forty minutes. Oh, don't be so anxious. We are too busy here now! The calls for goods are almost non-stop! Okay.

I need to mobilize the truck right away." The voice on the phone sounded a little hoarse.

Ryuzosuke San took a breath. He had been calling for so long, and the goods had just been delivered. How busy it was over there!

"Ishihara-kun, wait a minute!" Ryunosukezo shouted decisively, "Give me an additional three thousand, no, no, five thousand sets! I want another five hundred bundled sets of consoles. I can't buy such a large quantity.

, can you give priority to delivery?”

"Ah, five thousand sets! So many?" came the surprised voice on the phone, "I'm afraid I can't promise you, our inventory is also very tight now, and we are urgently transferring goods from Sega Corporation, so I can only agree

Your maximum is 3,000 sets today. If we can replenish the goods in time, I can send you another 2,000 sets! What do you think?"

"Okay! No problem! Ishihara-kun, for the sake of our many years of cooperation, please arrange the shipment as soon as possible! Please!" Ryunosuke San agreed. Are you kidding me? Now "Biochemical"

"Crisis" means supply exceeds demand. Long live the goods if you can get them!

Ryunosuke San wiped his sweat and let out a long breath. If nothing unexpected happened, then before the remaining goods on hand were sold out, the truck would deliver two thousand sets. But thinking of this, he

I can't help but feel a little regretful. If I had known that the sales of "Resident Evil" would be so hot, I should have stocked up on five or six thousand sets at one go, so I wouldn't be in such a hurry now!

Ryunosuke San stood in the office and pondered for a moment. To be on the safe side, he decided to change the sales staff from the current eight to six. In this way, the sales speed could be slowed down. If something goes wrong on the way to delivery,

It's a little unexpected, but it's better to delay it for a while. Otherwise, once the remaining goods are sold out and the truck doesn't arrive on time, the hundreds of people outside will be in trouble!

Uda Naka answered the call with an ecstatic look on his face.

"Fang Jun, good news. From the launch of "Resident Evil" to now, the daily sales of Saturn consoles in Japan have increased by 60%!" Uda Naka put down the phone, unable to suppress his excitement and couldn't help but

He held Fang Mingyuan's hand and said in a strong voice.

"Sixty percent!" Shinji Mikami also opened his mouth in surprise. After observing that it was just close to noon, this increase rate is quite astonishing! If the statistics were calculated throughout the day, wouldn't it be 100% without a doubt?

Was breached!

Before Uda Naka finished speaking, Mikami Shinji's cell phone also started ringing.

Shinji Mikami picked up and said, "Hey, it's me, Mikami. Ah, you said, what did you say...what? Say it again!" Shinji Mikami's voice suddenly raised an octave.

"Master!" A young waitress not far away came over quickly and said.

Shinji Mikami, who looked in disbelief, could no longer care about so much. "Are you sure the numbers are correct? Okay, okay, this is great!"

After answering the phone, Shinji Mikami smiled like a flower and said to Fang Mingyuan in a low voice: "Fang Jun, the sales volume of "Resident Evil" in Japan has exceeded one million units so far! You are really great."

I have a vision!”

"One million sets!" Uda Naka took a breath. Calculated at 8,888 yen for a set of games, the sales of "Resident Evil" are already close to 9 billion yen. This is

A quite terrifying number. In the history of Japanese games, it is definitely at the top of the sales list on the first day of release!

What's even more frightening is that now only one-third of the day has passed, and there are still almost thirteen hours until midnight. If sales continue at this rate, wouldn't the daily sales of "Resident Evil" be as high as

To reach 3 million sets, 27 billion yen!

Uda Naka felt that his heart was beating a little too fast...
