===290 The Chain Reaction of the Video Game Industry===(None Edited)

  "Stop playing video games, Zhuyou, how about following me in the film and television industry? This can make more money than making those few games, and now the film industry is easier in the world. To become famous, the audience for the movie is still more, which is not comparable to video games."

  Tukarev admires Zhu Yuxing and his team very much.

  Their special effects development technology is very strong, which shows that Zhu Youxing has a very unique vision. If you can cooperate with him to develop in the film and television industry, it will definitely have a bright future.

  Zhu Youxing refused with a smile: "In the future, I will definitely find opportunities to do movies, but I don't plan to make it my main business, but in the future I can consider derivative production of IP, game adaptation movies, and movie adaptations. Game, isn't it good? It just so happens that you can make a video game while the infinite popularity of Xinghai is still there, and I think you can make some extra money."

  Tukarev's suggestion to Zhu Yuxing Obviously doesn't really care, he's really not interested in video games.

  At this time, Zhu Youxing asked again: "By the way, didn't you bet with a few old opponents before? It seems that if you win, they will apologize to you in person. Have you made an appointment? I will also witness it. After listening ,

  Tukarev shook his head: "Hehe, how can those guys who value face more than anything else apologize to me? They will have all kinds of excuses to shirk such things as apology, but It doesn't matter, this time the nausea and they have already made me very happy."

  Tukarev didn't care, but he must still want to see the gang apologize in person.

  It is best to learn from the Japanese side and make a 90-degree bow to apologize.

  Of course it's just thinking.

  There's no way these big guys could do that.

  But the fact that he won the bet himself is impossible to skip.

  Next, he will often take this incident to disgusting and disgusting those guys, and he will whip the corpse out if he has nothing to do, which is enough to make them uncomfortable.

  After that, Tukarev invited Zhu Youxing to have a meal and a few drinks, but Zhu Youxing did not refuse, but put it aside for now and made an appointment another day.

  Tukarev also left afterwards, no longer disturbing Zhu Yuxing's work.

  The turmoil in the outside world has nothing to do with Zhu Yuxing at this time, and he now has to concentrate on new game development.

  His basic game is still in the game industry, and he also wants to bring more excellent games to this world, so he doesn't want to waste a little time.

  At

  the same time, in a very stylish company building in a city in California, several executives and board members of Hongguo Company held a new general meeting of shareholders.

  At the end of each year, the CEO will preside over a meeting and report to shareholders on the sales this year.

  Myron Case, then the CEO of Hongguo Company, turned on the projector with a heavy heart, and rows of data were then presented to shareholders.

  "This is our sales performance in 1997."

  The data appearing in the projection is the sales data for that year.

  Overall, the sales performance is OK, at least a dozen percent of the profit.

  However, if you compare the results of the previous years, this is only a dozen percent of the profit, and the profit of less than 200 million US dollars is really unmanageable.

  Myron Keyes is also in a heavy heart because of this.

  However, as a CEO, he must be accountable to shareholders, and he must disclose these data truthfully. If he cheats a little bit, he will not be the CEO.

  "I want to know one thing." At the conference table, a major shareholder was the first to speak, "Why has our performance declined again this year, and it has declined so fast?

  " Sis, those eyes are very sharp.

  When Myron Keyes first took over as CEO, Red Fruit was thriving.

  Their personal computer business and the newly expanded mobile player business are very good, and the products are very popular.

  At that time, the annual profit exceeded one billion US dollars, and it was regarded as one of the cutting-edge companies in the electronics field in the United States.

  At that time, Myron Keys also had a very ambitious vision, aiming to more than triple its performance within three years.

  And he pays special attention to the field of personal computers, which he believes will be a potential explosive point in the future and needs to be focused on.

  In the first year of his tenure, he really made the company's performance improve rapidly, and the personal computer business also developed very well. Seeing that his goal of doubling in the first year is about to be completed.

  But just as the doubling of performance was just around the corner, the sales figures for the next quarter came to an abrupt end.

  The sales performance did not drop immediately, when the sales in the current quarter were only the same as the previous quarter.

  At that time, Myron Keyes believed that consumers should enter a short-term period of weak consumption and recover soon.

  But what he didn't expect was that that quarter was his highlight.

  The PC business began to slowly decline for no apparent reason.

  At that time, it was not just his company that was slowly declining, the performance of the system sold by the Morgan Group next door was also slowly declining.

  For a short time, Myron Keyes couldn't find any reason, he didn't know why consumers were no longer interested in PCs.

  At this time, it happened to be the time when video games entered the United States.

  The obvious answer is that the video game machine business has affected the sales of Hongguo's products.

  Of course, the price of game consoles is not expensive, but people's energy is attracted by video games. Even if they have that spending power, their interest in personal computers will inevitably weaken.

  Myron Keyes discovered this at a time when the entertainment industry began to expand rapidly in the United States.

  Myron Keyes was also shocked that a company with only entertainment content could grow so fast.

  It's hard to understand.

  However, he is also a strong managerial CEO, and he immediately took action, and he is also organizing people to develop games on his own personal computer.

  But the computer game market at this time is really too small.

  More people still regard personal computers as office supplies, and no one regards computers as entertainment products.

  Entertainment is entertainment, office is office, not both.

  Especially children, they have no interest in computers at all.

  Only consoles can keep them happy.

  Myron Keyes made various attempts to save, but they all failed.

  Youxing Electronic Entertainment has defeated the products of their Hongguo Company in disguise.

  The personal computer business, which obviously has unlimited potential, has become an industry with an uncertain future. His previous production line planning and various business orders have also encountered various problems.

  Originally, Hongguo Company also had a portable listening device product line, but this product was going downhill, and Hongguo Company fell into an endless loop like this.

  "Every shareholder, I will explain the specific reasons to you next. Please let me report the data first."

  Myron Case took a deep breath and said in a slightly heavy tone.
