Resource Tycoon Reborn

As a world-renowned cutting-edge female writer of children's literature, Joanne's wedding ceremony not only caused a sensation among the British upper class, but also attracted the attention of many book fans around the world. Its influence

Its power can even compete with "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" released before Christmas and Microsoft's officially launched home game console XBoX.

The release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" in the global film market was just like its first two films, with overwhelming momentum and invincibility. It directly occupied the first place in the North American film market that week with an airborne attitude. On the day of its premiere, the box office performance was

The terrifying result of more than 93.9 million U.S. dollars broke the box office record set by itself last year on its opening day, which stunned people in the film industry around the world. However, after only two days of release, it was the highest-grossing movie in the North American film market.

The box office revenue exceeded US$180 million, once again setting a new record in the North American film market held by itself.

Both movie fans and media people are very optimistic about "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" and believe that it is likely to break the box office record of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" again and become a new record creator, and even challenge "Titanic"

” topped the global movie box office. Moreover, many movie fans have spoken out to persuade Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom to stay. They hope that “Pirates of the Caribbean” can become a series of movies and continue.

However, when James Cameron publicly announced that he would temporarily withdraw from directing the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies, and that screenwriter "Fang" would also temporarily withdraw with him, it immediately caused an uproar among movie fans around the world. Movie fans

Everyone exclaimed that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie series has come to an end. People don't understand how such a movie, which has soared at the box office and has been universally loved by movie fans, has fallen to the point where the leading actors, directors and screenwriters have given up. No more

Screenwriter "Fang" and director Cameron, even if Johnny Depp remains, can the next "Pirates of the Caribbean" maintain its due standard?

For a time, an astonishing number of movie fans gathered in front of the Hong Kong Kumho Film Group Company and the Jade Bird Film Group Company. People called on the top management of the two companies to do their best to retain "Fang" and Cameron. They did not

Understand, how could the two major companies give up the possibility of filming a sequel to a masterpiece like this that can be called a money printing machine? Some people even connected this matter with the unfair treatment of "Fang" in Bahia, Brazil not long ago.

The incident, which had gradually subsided, was immediately brought to light by movie fans and quickly pushed to the forefront. There were even a large number of Brazilian citizens protesting in front of the Brazilian government.

The Brazilian government, which was also shot while lying down, had to publicly announce that the Bahia SWAT incident had nothing to do with "Fang" no longer being a screenwriter for the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies. Moreover, although this incident has not yet been investigated and evidenced

Ended. However, the Brazilian government and the local government of Bahia have reached an understanding with "Fang" and promised to deal with those who violate laws and disciplines fairly.

In the end, it was Cameron who stood up and brought an end to this matter. In an interview with the media, Cameron explained that he and "Fang" had temporarily withdrawn from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies. There were two main reasons. The first

One is that after filming three "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies in a row, both of them need to rest and replenish themselves. After all, it is very laborious to ensure that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies is of a high standard and meets the needs of movie fans.

The second reason is that the two people have reached an agreement to work together again to create "Terminator 3"! Therefore, the two people who are unable to do anything have to temporarily withdraw from the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies.

After this news came out, it immediately aroused cheers from movie fans around the world. People were not only happy that the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series was not going to withdraw from the screen, but they were also happy that after many years, the "Terminator", known as the classic, was finally

A sequel is coming. Hong Kong Kumho Film Group and Kingfisher Film Group have once again become the stars that the industry is paying attention to.

As for Microsoft's home game console XBoX, due to Microsoft's high-profile publicity and Gamestation's masterpiece "Resident Evil 2" choosing it as the first game platform, it has also attracted the attention of many home game console players around the world. Although, with

Compared with other home game consoles, Microsoft's XBoX is the latest to be launched, but its launch game lineup is the largest. Not only does it include high-profile works such as "Resident Evil 2", but also a large number of games from Europe and the United States.

and a new work from a well-known Japanese game manufacturer.

At midnight on December 21st, Microsoft held grand Xbox midnight sales events in New York and San Francisco. Bill made a high-profile appearance in Times Square, New York, and personally handed over the first Xbox when the clock struck zero.

The game console was handed over to this lucky player. Many Hollywood celebrities also appeared at the sales sites in New York and San Francisco to support the sales of XBoX. They all received XBoX home game consoles presented by Microsoft. In just a few seconds

Within days, XBoX has achieved sales of more than 100,000 units in the United States. Of course, "Resident Evil 2", which was bundled with it, also sold more than 100,000 units.

Although the sales of "Resident Evil 2" are completely different from the sales of the original "Resident Evil". However, players who bought it still greatly appreciated the quality of "Resident Evil 2" and generally gave it

It scored high. The media generally believe that the current dismal sales of "Resident Evil 2" compared to "Resident Evil" are fundamentally due to the sales restrictions of XBoX. And when it will be launched on Sega's "Aquarius" in the future

and Sony's PS2, sales will increase dramatically. Gamestation has also become the first game production company in the world to have flagship products on the console platforms of four game console manufacturers.

It makes countless colleagues envious of it.

Japan's three major game console manufacturers are also feeling a lot of pressure from the menacing Microsoft. In particular, Microsoft has positioned the price of XBoX at US$299, and the powerful hardware performance of XBoX makes its

The cost is high, which means that every XBoX sold will cause Microsoft to lose hundreds of dollars! In other words, the more it is sold, the more serious the loss will be!

Although several major game manufacturers, with the exception of Nintendo Co., Ltd., basically have price inversions when new consoles are first launched, and they need to rely on software sales to make up for it, but generally after entering the mid-sales period, as the sales volume

With the continuous improvement of technology and continuous technological innovation, we can achieve a balance of payments, and in the later stage, we can even realize profits. However, such a large-scale profit transfer by Microsoft has never been done. People in the industry generally believe that Microsoft

During the entire sales cycle of XBoX, it is simply impossible to break even on the hardware!

In fact, XBoX eventually sold more than 20 million units worldwide, and its annual losses exceeded one billion U.S. dollars! This is how Microsoft, which has deep pockets, is supported by the system software business, and has an extremely good financial situation, is replaced by

No one can bear such money burning by other companies! This caused XBoX to be criticized for vicious dumping as soon as it was launched. However, Microsoft went its own way and ignored the accusations from outsiders.

"Bill's patience is very good. Regarding XBoX, he said, 'The first-generation game console is just like a game. After playing it once, at the end, he can say, uh, you can play it again, then it is a success.

!'" Fang Mingyuan held red wine and stood on the outside with Zheng Jiayi, looking at Joanne and Neil who were surrounded by the crowd and blessing them, and chuckled.

"Spend billions of dollars just to get the qualification to play again?" Zheng Jiayi said, somewhat unacceptable.

"Haha, I can understand his thinking. Qinxi Aviation Manufacturing Group is actually spending billions of dollars just to get the qualifications to join Boeing and Airbus." Fang Mingyuan sighed.

It is a high-end technology field. The fewer competitors there are in the industry, the higher the threshold will naturally be. There are only four game console manufacturers in the world, including Microsoft. It is naturally much more difficult to join this ranks than to open a food store.

A company or a steel factory.

"Hey, when you mentioned it, I remembered that the discount Qinxi Airlines gave our travel agency was not too small. Your aircraft is an mD90, and other airlines are Boeing and Airbus, so the discounts on tickets are available.

It is no different from Qinxi Airlines." Zheng Jiayi said with some dissatisfaction, "There are many people in the company who are very critical of this."

Fang Mingyuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't have much involvement in the management of Qinxi Airlines. Naturally, he didn't know what Zheng Jiayi said.

"I'll ask you about this later and give you an answer." Fang Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said. Although Qinxi Airlines has begun operations, except for one route from Fengyuan International Airport to Hong Kong International Airport,

The rest are domestic routes. Since it is a new company, it is still in the stage of opening up new routes and gaining recognition from passengers, so its profit prospects are still unclear.

Zheng Jiayi then nodded with satisfaction and said, "Hey, Joanne pulled you aside sneakily yesterday and what did you say for a long time?"

"Huh? Ah, you didn't say anything. You just asked me when the filming of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" will start." Fang Mingyuan touched his nose and said.

"Hmph! Just fool me!" Zheng Jiayi glared at him and said coquettishly. Fang Mingyuan laughed "hehe" twice but didn't say anything, but there was a slight change in his eyes when he looked at Zheng Jiayi.
