Resource Tycoon Reborn

Fang Mingyuan stayed in Australia for a week in total. Together with Chairman Prigioni and Minister Pimenyar, he formally signed a contract to develop the iron ore mines in Matogro do Sul. After seeing off Minister Pimenyar and

Afterwards, Chairman Prigioni and his party, at the invitation of Councilor Bruce, went with Xia Wen to visit their hometown of Malzat.

Then he flew directly from Perth to New Zealand to visit the crew of "Lord of the Rings", and then flew directly from New Zealand to Japan!

As the actual controller of Gamestation and the creator of the plot and design of "Onimusha", when "Onimusha" was about to be launched on the market, he wanted to come to Japan to see it.

After annexing CAPCOM, Gamestation took more than a year of careful production to launch "Onimusha" as a PS2 exclusive work. However, it has left full expectations in the hearts of PS2 players in Japan and even around the world. People are very excited.

Looking forward to what kind of surprises this work can give players.

This is especially true for Sony. Since the advent of the PS2, sales have increased significantly compared to its predecessor, the PS. However, compared with Sega Corporation's "Aquarius" console, there is still a big gap.

gap, and now, as Microsoft's XBOX console has also joined the battlefield of home game consoles, Sony's sense of crisis has greatly increased. Naturally, it hopes to use the PS2 exclusive work "Onimusha" on the market to provide PS2 with

Opening up sales. At the beginning, Gamestation's "Resident Evil" played a role that cannot be ignored for Sega Corporation to ascend to the throne of the game console market.

Therefore, after hearing that Fang Mingyuan had arrived in Japan, Sony Corporation Vice President Keijiro Taira proactively visited the Gamestation headquarters.

"President Heike, now I can say with confidence that the third million-level game on the PS2 console will be born!" Fang Mingyuan said with confidence. He has already tried "Onimusha", and both the graphics and the graphics are good.

, and the sense of operation are only higher than the previous "Onimusha", not lower than the previous "Onmusha". Although the title of the first million-level game on the PS2 console has been snatched by "Final Fantasy"

However, considering the status of the "Final Fantasy" series in the Japanese game industry, "Onimusha" is a new game, and "losing" to it is nothing. What's more, now "Final Fantasy"

It can be considered a product of Gamestation, so there is nothing to complain about.

As for the second million-level game, it fell to "Resident Evil 2". It was first launched on XBOX. After supporting XBOX, it was launched on the two major consoles of "Aquarius" and PS2 in March.

, has also achieved impressive sales that have attracted the world's attention. On the three major consoles, the total sales of "Resident Evil 2" had exceeded 9 million by the beginning of May, heading straight towards the 10 million level. Although

This result is a bit lower than the 4 million units sold in three days when "Resident Evil" was originally released, but considering that it was first launched on XBOX, it is understandable.

Heike Jiro's eyes immediately lit up. Although Sony has been paying attention to the progress of Gamestation's production of "Onimusha", and the several trailers of "Onmusha" released by Gamestation have also received excellent reviews and

The feedback from players was generally rave reviews. But hearing what Fang Mingyuan said personally undoubtedly made him feel a lot more at ease!

After all, it can be said that he handled this matter single-handedly, and Sony has paid a heavy price for it. If the sales of "Onimusha" do not meet expectations, then he will definitely have to be criticized by others in Sony.

of accusation.

"Fang-kun, are you so confident?" Taira Jiro laughed.

"Well, the difference just lies in the length of time. I believe that within seven days of release, sales will definitely exceed one million! How about we make a bet?" Fang Mingyuan said with a smile. Takeshi Kaneshiro, a popular Japanese movie star, plays the protagonist of the game.

Voice actors, as well as ultra-luxurious CG images that will amaze players, as well as gorgeous and smooth killing, assault, and special moves, all the successful elements of action games are integrated into it. If "Onimusha" is not big

If it sells, it will not be able to live up to the two golden brands of "Fang" and Gamestation. Sales exceeded one million within seven days of release. In Fang Mingyuan's view, this should be a conservative estimate.

Taira Keijiro laughed. Although he wanted to take a gamble, he knew that before this, anyone who had bet with Fang Mingyuan on their future prospects and had not won yet, the only difference was that they lost more and lost less.

"Forget it, I trust Fang Jun's vision, especially in this aspect. You are a professional, and I am just a layman!"

Fang Mingyuan spread his hands with a look of regret on his face and said, "There is a saying in our country that if you climb a mountain, you will eventually encounter a tiger. There will be times when I make mistakes in judgment. President Ping Jing, don't you want to take a gamble?"

Hirei Jiro smiled bitterly and said: "Fang-kun, you don't have to seduce me. The more you say this, the less sure I feel."

Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh. He really missed the past when he could always easily find an opponent who was willing to take a gamble with him, thereby maximizing his interests. It seems that maintaining an undefeated record in this regard also has side effects.

"Fang Jun, I'm here this time not only for the release of "Onimusha", but I also want to negotiate a deal with Mr. Fang." Heike Jiro said.

"Okay, I welcome the transaction." Fang Mingyuan said with a smile, "I wonder what kind of transaction President Ping Jing would like to discuss with me?"

Hirakejiro said: "The company plans to hand over part of the PS2 production to Fang Jun's Deko Electronics Group Company. I don't know if Deko Electronics Group is interested." Prior to this, Deko Electronics Group had taken over 10% of the PS host.

Seventy years of assembly and production, and with the rapid growth of PS2 production, PS production has been shrinking significantly year by year. However, with total sales of nearly 80 million units, it can be called a successful home game

host.

Fang Mingyuan had mentioned before that Tokuko Electronics Group would undertake part of the production of PS2, but was politely rejected by Heikejiro at that time. This time, Heikejiro took the initiative to mention it.

"Ah?" Fang Mingyuan had a look of surprise on his face.

Heikejiro felt a little hot on his face. At the beginning, as Sony's flagship product that competed with Sega Co., Ltd. for the leading position of home game console manufacturers, PS2 was placed high hopes by Sony Co., Ltd. and adopted many new technologies. In order to keep it confidential

, and also for the sake of employment of workers in these domestic factories, Sony is unlikely to hand over PS2 to Deguang Electronics Group Company for production and assembly in the near future, so it rejected Fang Mingyuan’s proposal.

When the PS2 first came out, it was indeed a huge surprise for Sony. Its sales volume once exceeded that of Sega Corporation's "Demon Sword" console. The gap between the two companies was greatly narrowed for a time. However, the good times did not last long.

In early 2001, Sega Co., Ltd. also launched a new generation of home game console "Aquarius". Coupled with the excellent performance of many games such as the "Death and Life" series on the "Aquarius" console, both in terms of technical level

In terms of sales, it still outperforms the PS2.

In particular, a large share of the production and assembly of the "Aquarius" console has been handed over to Tokko Electronics Group Company from the beginning, which enabled Sega Corporation to sell more consoles earlier than Sony Corporation.

It jumped out of the embarrassing situation of losing money in the early stage. It has no advantage in performance, game support, and even in cost control, it is no better than Sega Co., Ltd. How can Sony rely on to impact Sega Co., Ltd.'s leadership in the home game console market?

throne?

Moreover, after Square Enix Co., Ltd. was abruptly snatched away from Gamestation, Sony needs Fang Mingyuan’s support even more in terms of game support. There is no way, since the advent of PS2, two million-level masterpieces

, now everything is in Fang Mingyuan's hands.

Although Sony still has many areas where it can stand out from the crowd, and it is still an industry giant that no one can ignore in the world of electronic products, but in the field of home consoles, it is firmly suppressed by Sega Corporation.

Now, Microsoft has entered this field forcefully. Sony can be said to have obstacles in the front and pursuers in the back. The situation is extremely pessimistic.

So in this case, no matter how unwilling Sony is, it can only lower its head and hand over the production of PS2 to Deguang Electronics Group. On the one hand, it can please Fang Mingyuan, and on the other hand, it can also reduce the production cost of PS2. It can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

As for the confidentiality of new technologies, the technical level is only higher than that of PS2, and the "Aquarius" that is not lower than PS2 has been handed over to Deguang Electronics Group Company for production. What can Sony say? Besides, Deguang Electronics Group Company now

It is also a reputable company in the industry. So far, no company has accused Deguang Electronics Group of infringing on its own patented technologies. For the sake of several Sony technologies on PS2, Deguang Electronics Group cannot afford to ruin its own reputation.

name.

Fang Mingyuan quickly put away his surprised look, smiled and said: "If your company makes such a decision, of course I will welcome it." (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
