Who first proposed the concept of fragmented time, Zhou Fangyuan didn't know, and he didn't want to know. ｗ?ｗ?ｗ?．?ｒ?ａ?ｎ?ｗ?ｅ?ｎa?`ｃｏ?ｍ

But he knows that in the future, that is, in the years when he was reborn, major manufacturers, especially Internet companies, will compete fiercely for fragmented time.

What is fragmented time? As the name suggests, it is a fragment of time.

Most people have to work, they have to live, they have to face all kinds of things, these things occupy a major part of their lives, from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night, a person's activity time in a day is limited, except for the time after work, the rest of the time is occupied by work and all kinds of things. But this occupation is not completely occupied, because no one can continue to work for more than ten hours without stopping, so more or less, everyone has time to rest.

For example, when you go to work and take the car, when you get up to go to the toilet, when you drink water, when you smoke a cigarette to slow your brain, such a small time is too short, so it is not suitable for the more important things at work. And compared with the whole day, this small period of three minutes and five minutes is like one small fragment after another.

In the previous life, the most fierce competition for this kind of fragmented time may be WeChat and various mobile games. At that point, all the major Internet companies are trying to find ways to make better use of this fragmented time. As a result, various mini-games and mobile games are emerging one after another, and the competition between companies is extremely fierce.

Ben Xiansan now asked Zhou Fangyuan what he thought about the future, and Zhou Fangyuan didn't even have to think about it, so he said his "thoughts".

At the beginning of the third phase of this constitution, he didn't take it seriously, but gradually, with Zhou Fangyuan's description, he began to become serious. In any case, he is also a person who has been in the business world for decades, sitting and watching the ups and downs, turning the tide several times, and developing a small Capcom to today, this bit of vision is still there. It's just that he hasn't paid attention to this aspect before, which can't be blamed on him, this is the limitation of the times. In fact, before smartphones became popular, how many people noticed the so-called fragmented time? But nowadays, fragmented time is becoming more and more important, especially the emergence of the distant i1 mobile phone, which has begun to change people's lives, why the i1 can be well received, can cause a huge sensation in mobile phones around the world, not only because smartphones have completely crushed traditional mobile phones in terms of operation.

More because smartphones have begun to occupy the fragmented time of human beings to some extent.

It's a natural thing to do.

In fact, there has always been fragmented time, but people have not specifically summarized it before. In addition, these fragments of time themselves are irregular, short, and scattered, so everyone usually uses these times to relax a little, and there are no good things to do, at most to read a book, have a cup of tea or something. But with the advent of smartphones, their operations, and the dazzling array of applications on them, instantly filled the fragmented time of human beings.

The so-called low-headed people, in fact, is the name of the society for people who use fragmented time to play mobile phones more seriously, of course, such people, this situation in them is indeed quite serious, as long as there is a little time, even if it is only for a minute, you have to take out your mobile phone to play, there is great damage to the eyes and cervical spine, in fact, it is better to read a book and drink tea or something.

But it is undeniable that the emergence of smart phones has raised the use of fragmented time to a higher level. Why is Weibo so popular now? Quite simply, it is because smartphones have begun to occupy a large number of people's fragmented time, but because these times themselves are still too short, it is obviously not appropriate to play games or anything. But Weibo needs to take a short time, just a minute or two to swipe and see what's new on the Internet, it has become the main thing that many people do during their breaks, it can be said that smartphones have actually promoted the development of Weibo to a large extent.

In a word, fragmented time is important, and it will become more and more important as society develops.

Zhou Fangyuan and Ben Xiansan explained the relationship here, which was like opening a door for Ben Xiansan and allowing him to see a new world.

This old man with gray hair, when he looked at Zhou Fangyuan again, his eyes became different, some respect, some emotion, and some expectation.

He is already old, although he doesn't want to admit it, but old is old, and for many things, he no longer has the acumen he had when he was young, so before Zhou Fangyuan told him these things, he actually didn't think about this aspect at all. But as soon as he said it now, he knew that he had finally lost touch with the times.

How high-spirited was he back then?

You know, since its inception, Capcom has always given people the impression of being relatively low-key and conservative, but since 1998, Capcom has gradually begun to show its flamboyant side, and the increasingly prominent position and talent of Ben Xianzo hopes to play a far more important role in the game industry than in the past. Many of Capcom's actions at that time represented the voices of the vast majority of software vendors in that era, hoping to maintain the delicate balance of major forces in the industry through their own efforts, so as to promote the healthy development of the industry and win more voice for software vendors.

Compared with other manufacturers, Capcom, which is rooted in Osaka, is more bold and direct, although it comes at a great cost.

At that time, Sega SS had just failed miserably, and this matter was actually largely due to the poor software support of third-party vendors. However, in order to save the DC host from the mistakes of the past, Sega secretly launched close contact with major software vendors, and Capcom was the most responsive of all vendors. The reason why Capcom supports DC is ostensibly to maintain the balance of power in the industry, and from a deeper analysis, in fact, Capcom believes that it has given all-round support since the release of Sony PS, but the preferential conditions obtained are far from being comparable with Square and Konami, so at that time, Benkenzo was eager to prove his true value through cooperation with hardware manufacturers, and the preferential conditions listed by Sega such as royalties were indeed very attractive.

Capcom has released a large number of games before and after the release of DC, covering almost all mainstream game genres, from the treasure of Zhenshan "Street Fighter III" to the "Power Gem" of the Smash Bros. genre, as well as the whimsical serialized RPG "Gate of El Dorado", in order to ensure sufficient box office appeal, the release date of DC "Dinosaur Crisis II" was deliberately a week earlier than the PS version, and even many people in the industry laughed that DC became Capcom's special machine. Among the many DC-corresponding games, the most eye-catching is of course the sequel to the million-hit "Resident Evil Gaiden - Codename: Veronica", for which Sega and Capcom held a large-scale joint press conference, Sega President Shoichiro Iriko expressed his high expectations for the software, and the development director Shinji Mikami vowed to the outside world that "Resident Evil Gaiden - Codename: Veronica" will be a completely exclusive software and will never be ported to any other console.

Sega and Capcom deliberately set the release date of Resident Evil Chronicle - Codename: Veronica in February 2000 in order to confront Sony's PS2 console released at the same time.

Then, in 2001, as Sega officially announced its withdrawal from the hardware market, the TV game industry was reorganized into Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo's three camps, and at the end of May of that year, the E3 exhibition ended in an interview with reporters, and publicly said, "Microsoft, which is committed to the PC business, Sony, a home appliance manufacturer, and Nintendo, a game manufacturer, are like passengers on the Tokaido Shinkansen, and although the departure station is different, the destination direction is completely the same, and I hope that the TV game industry will develop healthily!" Capcom's responsibility is to actively assist them. ”

On September 13, 01, also on the eve of NGC's public release in Fuso, Capcom's fourth development department held a large-scale presentation in Tokyo, and Shinji Mikami announced the amazing news that the canonical series of "Resident Evil" will be completely exclusive to NGC, and the first work will be a remastered original "Resident Evil".

Waiting for 02 years to reach the pinnacle of his personal career, Kenzo succeeded Konami President Kamitsuki Keimasa as president of the Fuso Computer Industry Association (CESA) in May, which was another big leap after serving as the chairman of the Fuso Computer Software Copyright Society (ACCS) until 2000. Kenzo was able to squeeze the founder of the CESA Association out of power last month, and with his long-sleeved dancing skills, Nintendo has always been strongly skeptical of the CESA Association, so he has long refused to participate in the Tokyo Game Show (TGS), and the absence of industry giants has made TGS always a bowl of raw rice, and SCE President Ken Nagata Ragi has openly questioned: "Is there any significance to TGS without Nintendo's attendance?"

In such an embarrassing situation, the CESA Association had to push Kenzo, who had a close relationship with Nintendo, to the front of the stage in an attempt to change the situation, and SCE and Nintendo were also relatively satisfied with this buffer candidate. With both CESA and ACCS in charge, Benkensan has become essentially the most prominent figure in the Fuso video game industry.

But to be honest, at this point, Ben Xianzo's own energy has begun to be much less than before, although Capcom's development in the past two years is still very good, but too many things have made Ben Xianzo unable to distract himself from exercising more control over the company. I don't have to worry about being hollowed out, but I can't help but admit that he can't provide better ideas for the development of the company, except for some political factors.

This is also the reason why when Yuanfang Group said that it wanted to buy shares, Capcom easily agreed.

They need the help of Yuanfang Group, and they need to open up a larger market and keep up with the latest trends of the times.

It's just that for the controlling stake, Ben Xiansan has always been very tight, and he is unwilling to let go until he spies with Zhou Fangyuan.

Before the secret agent, he just thought that Zhou Fangyuan was a very talented young man, just like himself back then, but he still felt in his heart that Zhou Fangyuan was actually inferior to himself. Because Zhou Fangyuan got the best market, an almost blank field, so it took advantage of the trend and is now developing rapidly. However, at the time of his development, there were many large domestic companies in Fuso, and he can be said to have developed under the watchful eyes of many people, and he was very proud and proud of his life.

Until this secret conversation, while listening to Zhou Fangyuan's description of the future, Ben Xiansan found that Zhou Fangyuan was really like himself.

At that time, Ben Xiansan also firmly believed that the future he was optimistic about was the real future, so he did not give up, but gritted his teeth and persevered, paid a lot of costs, and came to this day. And now, Zhou Fangyuan, such a young man from Huaxia, is the same age as his grandson and shows the same quality. He also saw the future and saw the future direction of the game industry, isn't this a young version of Benkensan?

Benxian is three old, and he knows that he is unwilling to accept the old, but he can't accept it.

So seeing Zhou Fangyuan's state at this time, he was like seeing himself back then, so Ben Xiansan relented.

"Zhou Sang, I agree to give you more shares. ”

Ben Xiansan said very abruptly.

“......”

Zhou Fangyuan paused for a moment, and didn't seem to react immediately.

"I think you should be able to create a better future, Capcom is my child, it is more important than my wife and son, I have always been reluctant to give up the controlling stake, just for fear that someone will take my child and ruin my life's work. But you're different, and I think that if Capcom can be led by you, it should be able to move towards a more brilliant future. So, I agreed. ”

Ben Xiansan smiled and said slowly.

Zhou Fangyuan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Ben, what do you mean ......?"

"Let your team prepare the funds, and I can give you a controlling stake in Capcom. ”

Ben Xiansan said with a smile.

Zhou Fangyuan didn't expect that Ben Xiansan would suddenly make such a decision at this time, he was ready to fight a protracted battle, and even prepared for a premium acquisition. If he really wants to die, he will buy shares from other shareholders and forcibly obtain a controlling stake at a high price, although that will definitely hurt the hearts of Capcom's top management, and may even lead to the loss of some talent. But as far as Capcom has the IP he has now, it is also worth it.

He had prepared for the worst, but he didn't expect Ben Kenzo to let go at the last moment.

He asked the other party why, but Ben Xiansan didn't say anything, just smiled and shook his head.

The next day, the acquisition officially entered the right track, Ben Xianzo was willing to take out most of the shares in his hands, almost 30% of all the shares of Capcom to sell to the Yuanfang Group, and at the same time, the shares in the hands of two other shareholders were also handed over to the Yuanfang Group, and the Yuanfang Group got more than 50% of Capcom's shares, officially becoming the largest shareholder of Capcom, with a controlling stake. And Ben Xian San also announced that he would launch Capcom after signing the contract, and the remaining part of the shares in his hands were all handed over to his son, but the remaining shares were no longer enough to become the company's top shareholders, the original largest shareholder Ben Xian San, now passed on to his son, among all shareholders, can only be regarded as very low, Capcom's shareholding structure, it can be said that overnight, it has undergone earth-shaking changes.
