Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Regarding the fact that Youxing Electronic Entertainment did not make games and suddenly switched to special effects production for film and television, it was already known by many companies in the video game industry almost the night after the banquet.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment is currently the king of video games, no one can surpass their market share.

Japan's market share once exceeded 90%, and it also reached more than 80% market share in the United States.

Moreover, this company is controlled by only one person, and the cash flow is estimated to be very healthy. As long as there are no unexpected circumstances, this company can develop rapidly for at least several years.

However, in the current highly competitive environment, Youxing Electronic Entertainment suddenly started a side business, but did not make much progress in its own console business.

In two or three years, only an upgraded version of the GB handheld was released, and the original black and white screen was upgraded to a color one, that's all.

Then it is to continue to develop games on SFC, FC and GB handhelds.

Apart from the sudden launch of a blockbuster Doom this year, there is no other idea of ​​​​entering the 3D field, which makes many companies feel a little confused.

But now seeing Youxing Electronic Entertainment developing an engine, they suddenly seemed to understand.

It seems that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has also encountered a development bottleneck. Facing the field of 3D graphics games, they are a bit shy, and dare not rush into this new field. Doom is just testing the waters.

Obviously, the company is getting bigger and bigger, and the boss of this company has become more and more conservative, not as radical as before.

Obviously this is a good opportunity. For them, Youxing Electronic Entertainment is like an insurmountable mountain lying in front of them.

They always have many advanced game ideas, which impact everyone's understanding of the game time and time again.

The games of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment are not only fun, but also a game textbook for game practitioners. As long as they are produced according to the development direction of those games of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, at least there will be no major problems.

It's just that if you keep making games like this, you will never make a big breakthrough, let alone surpass Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

But now, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment wants to keep their money in the scope of 2D games, so they can take the opportunity to develop 3D games.

There are still many types of 3D games that have not yet been developed.

If any of them can develop it and sell well, then they too will leave their own mark in the history of video games.

Many companies have started to take action. They are recruiting quickly, recruiting those capable people, setting up new studios, and developing new types of 3D games.

Driven by this, the PN2 game console that is on sale also ushered in a small wave of rise.

The Lierda 3600, which is expected to be developed by Lierda, also took the opportunity to announce the sales date and price. It will be officially launched in 1997, that is, on Christmas Eve this year. At the same time, the game console will also come with more than three 3D models. Graphically produced games, and more than five first-release games, look aggressive, and they want to quickly seize the market while Youxing Electronic Entertainment is stagnant in development.

In the industry, most of them also expressed incomprehension of Youxing Electronic Entertainment's decision.

Obviously they have sufficient funds and excellent games, as long as they develop a game console that can run 3D graphics, then relying on their previous popularity, they will definitely continue to have a huge market.

In the end, they also concluded that Youxing Electronic Entertainment should be stuck in a bottleneck.

There are quite a lot of companies like this, and there are too many companies in this world that start out as a blockbuster, but end up disappearing.

There are only a few companies that can truly survive for a long time.

...

During this time, Zhu Youxing would occasionally receive invitations.

Most of these invitations were sent by large investment institutions in the United States and Japanese chaebols.

They hope to talk to Zhu Youxing.

Apparently, they were also looking at the opportunity. Seeing that Youxing Electronic Entertainment seemed to be going downhill, they wanted to see if they could take the opportunity to buy individual stocks or something.

But for this kind of invitation, Zhu Youxing refused all of them and ignored them at all.

These investors are the ones who put umbrellas on sunny days and put them away on rainy days. Now they just see a downward trend on their own side, and want to invest some money in, and then intervene in the company's control.

Some laymen or some game companies do not understand the operation of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

However, investment institutions will think that this is only temporary. Youxing Electronic Entertainment already has a very large user base. The combined user base in the United States and Japan is estimated to be at least 30 million.

And it is the most stable user base of 30 million.

Such a huge user base can earn money by doing anything, and they treat users like leeks and harvest wildly.

It's just that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment didn't do this, but kept its heart and insisted on making high-quality games.

What the investment institutions want is to intervene in Youxing Electronic Entertainment Company, and then use the user group to make a fortune.

It's a pity for them that Zhuyouxing doesn't get in.

The sole third-party shareholder of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, that is, Fujii, the executive director of Nihon Keizai Shimbun newspaper, made a special call to Zhuyouxing because of what happened during this period, and asked about it with great concern. The status of Zhuyouxing.

This Fujii is a good friend of Zhu Youxing's father, and he has always had a good relationship with him. After making a lot of money by investing in Youxing Electronic Entertainment, he also admires this young man very much.

If he had a daughter in his family, he would not hesitate to let her find ways to marry Zhu Youxing.

Fujii doesn't understand the situation of the video game industry, but he is very concerned about the dynamics of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

He wants to confirm what Zhu Youxing thinks. If he continues to stick to his position and does not seek new developments and breakthroughs, he can also see that Youxing Electronic Entertainment will gradually fall behind.

Obviously such a big advantage should be consolidated by every means.

Regarding the other party's concern and worries, Zhu Youxing just smiled and assured the other party that he knew it well and had already made long-term plans, and this stage is only temporary.

How can I say that Fujii is also the only third-party shareholder, and he also helped many busy people at the beginning of his business, so Zhuyouxing must at least ensure to the other party that everything he does is purposeful, so that the other party can feel at ease.

Hearing Zhu Youxing's guarantee, although Zhu Youxing himself is very young, it still gives people a very reassuring feeling.

Recently, all his investment projects have ended in failure, and he lost a lot of money. Only Youxing Electronic Entertainment is developing positively, and it often doubles. He really does not want his only successful investment to end up in the end. also fails.
