ps: ps: Thanks to the book friend Thunder Beast King (two copies), Cachexia’s monthly pass. Thanks to the book friend Xiao Yu’er 62, Xiaoao Tiandi for the reward. Please give me the monthly pass and recommendation vote!

Fang Mingyuan was able to realize this, and Uda Nakaran, who had been with Sega Corporation for almost his whole life, realized the huge challenge in this right away!

The general rule in the home game console industry is to sell the console at a loss and then make a profit from the software sales. Therefore, it is very common to make huge losses in the first few years and make huge profits in the next few years. As for whether the expenses will be evened out in the end, or even if there is enough The profit margin depends entirely on the company's later control of console production costs, whether high-quality games can be produced, and players' loyalty to a certain game console.

With this production and sales model, for these console manufacturers, every time a new console is launched, it is undoubtedly a huge investment for the company. Once the gamble fails, the company will be severely damaged! It may even be destroyed. They fell into a vicious cycle and eventually had to quit the industry.

Therefore, in such an industry with an astonishing output value, even including Nintendo, which is currently focusing on handheld consoles, and Microsoft, which will squeeze in in the future, there are only four established manufacturers. In the previous life, it was actually Microsoft. The "war" with Sony. In this life, due to his joining, Sega Corporation not only did not withdraw sadly, but suppressed Nintendo and Sony. Now, the first to deal with the impact of Microsoft will also be Sega Corporation.

However, Microsoft has sufficient capital flow to support its initial losses. No one will doubt this. As a company with a market value of more than 600 billion U.S. dollars and one of the world's top 500 companies, in computer operating system software A company that dominates the industry not only has no foreign debt, but also holds tens of billions in cash. For such a company, no one is willing to become its competitor.

"Fang Jun. I mean, where did you get the news?" Uda Zhong also realized that he had made a mistake, and actually questioned Fang Mingyuan in person, and said quickly. Although he had also heard that Fang Mingyuan and Bill had a very good personal relationship, When the Burj Al Arab Hotel opened in Dubai, they met many times. But Bill wouldn't tell him easily about things related to the development direction of the company, right?

"The source of the news... I won't tell you. But I can guarantee that the news is not a joke. Maybe Microsoft's top management has not yet officially reached an agreement, or maybe the agreement has not been announced yet!" Fang Mingyuan said seemingly casually. Uda Guangli sat next to him and bumped him gently with her shoulder. She could tell that Fang Mingyuan was not in a good mood, but she didn't want her uncle to be the unlucky guy.

Uda Zhong couldn't help but feel a headache. Although he believed that Fang Mingyuan definitely didn't have the leisure to joke with him about this kind of thing, but without evidence, how could he convince the board members to prepare in advance?

"Uda-kun, I want to tell you this news. I just want to tell you that Sega Corporation has many opponents and they are very powerful. However, there are no external opponents. The most terrifying thing is that you cannot position yourself properly! If Aquarius can be big If we are successful, neither Sony nor Microsoft can shake our position! And if the sales of 'Water Bottle' fail, even without Microsoft, Sony will ride on our head!" Fang Mingyuan said solemnly, "So, Whether the performance of the 'water bottle' can meet the originally envisioned standards is the most critical!"

"Yes! I understand!" Uda Naka stood up and bowed deeply, "The company will definitely improve the research and development of new consoles to the point where it is related to the life and death of the company!"

After learning two pieces of "bad news" from Fang Mingyuan, Uda Zhong no longer had the high spirits he had when he first arrived.

"Fang Jun, the board of directors has unanimously approved to transfer the production of the 'Demon Sword' to China!" Before leaving, Uda Zhong told Fang Mingyuan another piece of good news.

Fang Mingyuan stayed in Japan until the beginning of February. This was the first time he officially held a formal position in a company. Although there were many professionals assisting him, many company affairs still kept him busy.

In particular, the sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group is in a period of transformation. Many things must be decided by the board of directors, or even by himself. This cannot be done without any laziness. Naturally, a lot of jokes were made during this period.

Fortunately, in the board of directors, Youhuashanyuan was doing his best to help him make up for his omissions. Lu Guangrong also quickly got into the mood. In addition, Fang Mingyuan poached several senior management talents. The journey was stumbling, but it was still smooth.

came over.

In the past half month or so, the performance of sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group has not recovered as quickly as it did initially, but it has still maintained a slow recovery. This undoubtedly provides guidance for the improvement of its stores under the leadership of Lu Guangrong.

good external conditions.

On the fifth day after Uda Naka left, Sega Corporation officially announced that in order to reduce the production cost of "Demon Sword" and better serve game players, Sega Corporation will gradually transfer 70% of its production capacity to Huaxia Deguang Electronics Group. This

On the day the news was released, Sega Corporation's stock price rose by 3%.

On February 2, outside the headquarters building of sogo0 Co., Ltd., the company's main officials lined up in two rows outside the door to welcome the visiting Sony Corporation Vice President Keijiro Taira.

Fang Mingyuan did not appear at the door of the building. The reason is simple. Because of the arrival of Heikejiro, a lot of media gathered outside the headquarters building of sogo0 Co., Ltd.

"President Heike, I am very pleased to see that you are still so energetic." Fang Mingyuan shook hands with Heikejiro at the door of his office and said, "President Heike, please forgive me for not being able to go upstairs.

It's rude to welcome someone outside." In the past few years, most of the contacts between Sony and Fang Mingyuan have been through Heike Jiro, so the two can be considered old friends.

"Haha, when I see Fang Jun, I feel even more old!" Heike Jiro said with deep emotion, "According to the words of your country, that is, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Fang Jun is in charge at an age of more than 20 years old.

Sogo0 Co., Ltd. is one of the few companies in the world." Heike Jiro's words can be said to come from the bottom of his heart. A young man who started from scratch has actually become a large department store with total assets of more than 10 billion US dollars in more than ten years.

As the chairman of the board of directors, he also controls the absolute controlling stake and has absolute power. How can this old guy feel like he has been struggling like this for half his life and still cannot reach the peak of his career?

"Haha, President Ping Jing, this is too flattering to me. I hope that by this time next year, everyone can give me a sixty percentile for my work this year, and I will be very satisfied." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, while

Hirakejiro let him into the office.

"Fang Jun, you are so humble. After you took over, the performance of sogo0 Co., Ltd. has improved significantly. This is seen by everyone. We are all looking forward to sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group returning to its former glory.

That day." Heike Jiro said with a disapproving look. A debt-for-equity swap of US$4.3 billion, high-profile publicity by the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and a lot of cooperation from the government, if sogo0 Co., Ltd. Group still takes

If there is no obvious progress, then Fang Mingyuan is an idiot.

"Fang Jun, I came here today because I have a request." After a few words of greetings with Fang Mingyuan, Taira Jiro said straight to the point.

"Huh? President Ping Jing, please speak." Fang Mingyuan said with an expected look on his face.

This time, Heikejiro came to the headquarters building of sogo0 Co., Ltd., which can be said to be shouldering an important "mission"!

First, he had to convince Fang Mingyuan to continue the cooperation between Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Columbia Pictures. Since the two companies reached an agreement to exchange technology for cooperation, Fang Mingyuan did provide the script in accordance with the contract, and Hong Kong Kumho Film Group

The group cooperated with Columbia Pictures to produce six films, all of which achieved box office results that satisfied Sony executives. This strongly supported Howard Stringer's work in reversing the declining performance of Columbia Pictures since its acquisition by Sony. It can be said that

Played a vital role. In this regard, Howard Stringer proposed to Sony headquarters that the cooperation between the two companies must continue.

Second, he needs to convince Fang Mingyuan to give enough support to ps2. In Heikejiro's view, if the home game console is compared to a person's body, then the game software is the person's soul. A good game can save a game.

Although it cannot be said that console precedents are everywhere, they are not uncommon. The "Pokemon" series of games created by Fang Mingyuan is undoubtedly a perfect example. It is precisely because of the huge sales of "Pokemon" that Nintendo

Overcoming the difficulties. Also planned by him, "Dead or Alive" created by Sega Co., Ltd. also made Sega Co., Ltd. profitable. The weekly and monthly sales of the "Demon Sword" console hit a record high.

Although the games produced by Gamestation are now supported by several major game consoles, and several games based on the PS2 platform are currently being produced, it is said that none of them are from Fang Mingyuan's creativity. Therefore, Sony hopes that after the official release of the PS2

Within a year or two, the Gamestation company will be able to come up with one or two high-quality games that can fully exploit the performance of the PS2. In other words, they will at least be games tailor-made for the PS2 with the creativity provided by Fang Mingyuan.

However, Sony is a little unsure whether this can get Fang Mingyuan's approval. After all, the gamestation company belongs to Fang Mingyuan, and Fang Mingyuan is the third largest shareholder of Sega Corporation!
