Due to the time difference, when the plane arrived in Xiangjiang, it was only 7:20 in the morning, when Xia Yu came out of the passage, he saw He Chaoqiong who was looking forward to a line of convoys, and when he saw Xia Yu come out, He Chaoqiong completely abandoned the girl's reserve, and rushed towards Xia Yu with joy.

Li Qian subconsciously took the things in Xia Yu's hand, gave Xia Yu a questioning smile, Xia Yu walked towards He Chaoqiong quickly, hugged her who rushed over, and circled in place, the pink skirt kept fluttering in the air.

"Chaoqiong, why are you here? It's only 7 o'clock now, how many times did you get up?"

He Chaoqiong's face was full of joy, looked at Xia Yu with love, and said sweetly: "Knowing that you are coming back today, where can I sleep last night, I miss you so much." ”

After speaking, Zhu lip tapped, and joy was revealed.

"I miss you so much. ”

The girl's heartfelt love touched Xia Yu's heart, hugged her tightly, and said softly.

After a brief warmth, He Chaoqiong's mood calmed down and he had something to observe his surroundings.

When he saw Li Qian standing aside, looking at herself with a smile, He Chaoqiong's face flushed, struggled to get off Xia Yu, and shouted softly: "Sister." ”

Li Qian responded with a smile, then took a small gift box from the bag and presented it to He Chaoqiong, and said softly: "Sister, this is a gift I brought back from London, I give it to you, I hope you like it." ”

"Thank you, sister......"

Seeing that the relationship between the two women was very good, Xia Yu smiled.

Scanning the surroundings, all of his subordinates looked at him with interest, but many people who had just gotten off the plane behind him looked at him, and some even recognized him.

Xia Yu realized that it was not good to stay here, so he said to Li Qian and He Chaoqiong: "Qianqian, Chaoqiong, there are too many people here, let's go home first." ”

"Uh-huh!"

"Listen to you!"

Then, Xia Yu said to Liu Ji and others: "You guys should go home first, I haven't been home for more than half a year, go home to accompany my family, and go back to the company for a meeting in three days." ”

"The cars are coming, let them take you to your doorstep. ”

"Thank you boss!"

Liu Zhen and others were excited and thanked in unison.

After that, everyone got into the car and divided into two groups at the intersection, Xia Yu first took Li Qian and He Chaoqiong back to the villa that belonged to him and his woman.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Xia Yu went home to reunite with his family.

The next day, he officially started his work to deal with the things accumulated after leaving Xiangjiang for several months.

Although the chairman's office headed by Huo Jianning is collaborating on things, Huo Jianning contacts him through international long-distance and remote command to ensure the normal operation of many of his companies.

But there are some jobs that are really difficult to explain on the phone and difficult to deal with, so they can only be piled up until now.

After processing the documents for an hour, Xia Yu was lazy and asked Li Qian to call Huo Jianning over and ask him to bring the investigation materials of the video game industry.

"Chairman, this is the situation I collected about the video game industry!"

As soon as Huo Jianning came in, he presented a thick stack of documents to Xia Yu, and then waited quietly.

Seeing such a thick stack, Xia Yu was very satisfied, not to mention anything else, just by looking at the appearance, he knew that Huo Jianning's work was very solid.

Realizing that it would take at least a few hours, Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning to continue to work, and he flipped through it.

Drink tea, look at the information, time flies.

Finally, after reading the last page, Xia Yu rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, and already had a detailed pattern map of the global video game industry market in his mind.

In the world video game industry at this time, there are three types of games, namely computer games, console games, and arcade games.

The first type of computer game, as the name suggests, was a game played on a computer, and yes, in 1979, there were already computer games.

It's just that the key is that although the computers in the world are computers, most of them are actually game consoles, and when they are sold like TVs, although there are some computer functions in them, the most important purpose for customers to buy is to play simple games in the computer.

Xia Yu remembers that it was not until 1981 that IBM launched the world's first real personal computer.

Therefore, before that, computers could not be popularized on a large scale at all, and they had great limitations.

Due to factors such as the price and functional limitations of computers, the market for computer games was still relatively small at this time, and the game giants generally gave up and left it to those small game companies that specialized in developing computer games.

The second type of console games, also known as home game consoles and video games, is a huge market, and if you think about the extremely large number of TVs in the world, you can see that it has a huge market.

This market is also the most competitive market, the most famous of which is the American Atari company, the world's game industry hegemon, which invested more than $100 million in 1977 alone to research a game console - Atari 2600.

In addition to Atari, there are also some companies on the second front, such as Sega, Nintendo, Nangong Meng, etc.

The third category of arcade games is also quite competitive, but now Taidong is leading the way, beating all arcade game companies in the world.

Founded in 1950 by Michael Kogang, a Jew of Ukrainian origin, Taidong means "Far Eastern Jewish Company", and its main business is to sell vodka imported from the Soviet Union in the island nation.

Under unexpected circumstances, Taidong entered the video game market.

Just last year, Taidong Company developed the arcade game "Space Invaders", which exploded directly, and in one year alone, it sold more than 150,000 units in the US market alone, plus sales in Europe and island countries, more than 200,000 units, with total sales of more than 500 million US dollars and net profit of more than 100 million US dollars.

This year, "Space Invaders" is still popular, and it has continuously grabbed wealth for Taidong Company.

And in the arcade market, under the Taidong company, is the Sega company.

In his impression, Xia Yu also thought that Sega Company, one of the four giants in the console game industry in later generations, was a company in the island country, but after reading the information, he knew that this was not the case at this time.

At this time, Sega was still an American company.

Sega was founded by David Rosen, an American soldier who had retreated to the island country from the 38th parallel, and at first relied on his connections in the army to sell slot machines, pachinko machines and other entertainment equipment to the army to relieve the boredom of the GIs at the US military base.

Later, David Rosen had a sensitivity that when the profits of the second dealer were not big enough, he developed a popular pachinko machine called "Periscope", which sold well in the island country, and was transported to the United States, and then registered the American Sega Company in the United States and controlled the island country Sega Company.

Then, in 1966, David Rosen sold Sega to American overseas and Western industrial companies with a business of "entertainment and mass media".

With the help of the energy of overseas and Western industrial companies, Sega has a well-established sales channel in the United States.

It's a pity that after Taidong's "Space Invaders" came out, the island country Sega Company was in an embarrassment, and the business situation was not good at this time, and there were signs of breaking away from the United States overseas and Western industrial companies.

In addition to Taidong and Sega, Nangong Dream Games is also famous in the arcade market, which only entered the video game industry in 1974, and developed several arcade games.

As for Sony, the hegemon of the game industry in later generations, it did not set foot in the video game industry at this time.

According to the survey report, it is already known that the world video game industry pattern is divided into three levels.

The first level is the two giants, Taidong in the arcade game market and Atari in the console game market.

The second level is the three companies of Sega, Nintendo, and Nangong Dream.

The third level is other video game companies.
