Chapter 158: The Game Sells
After resting at home for a day, Li Guangyu came to Xingyu Group the next morning. In the past 11 months, Xingyu Group has become the darling of the Xiangjiang media again, and the reports about the group have not stopped.
Xingyu Group's home game consoles have been sought after by the majority of game fans since their launch, and orders have exceeded 2 million units in less than a month.
The Xingyu Group's new arcade game Pac-Man is even more popular with various channel providers, and now it has a huge order of more than 80,000 units.
In the conference room of Xingyu Group, Toru Iwatani was very excited today, the big sale of Pac-Man games made his status in the group skyrocket, and today he was specially invited to attend this high-level meeting, which he could not have imagined before.
In the conference room, the senior management of Xingyu Group was very happy, and the performance of the past year has been pressed under the Xiangyu Group, which made them feel very faceless as the boss of the Li Group. This time, through the home game console and the Pac-Man game, the Xiangyu Group was finally left behind.
Now the senior management of Xingyu Group is confident that relying on the new growth point of home game consoles, Xiangyu Group will not be able to surpass them for a long time.
Li Guangyu, Li Xuemei, and Zhang Ziyu walked into the conference room together, and the high-level executives present also quieted down with the arrival of Li Guangyu and several others.
After listening to the reports of various departments, Li Guangyu said, "Thank you for your efforts during this time, it is with you that our company can achieve such great results, and the group will not forget your contributions." 35xsā
Li Guangyu then said, "We must keep up with the production of home game consoles, and at the same time, the quality problems must be strictly controlled. ā
Zhao Xiaoyan, vice president of the group, stood up and said, "Li Sheng, because we didn't expect the family game opportunity to be so popular, our current production capacity is seriously insufficient. And now the Wu family has not expanded enough production capacity for our OEM, resulting in our delivery scheduled for three months later. ā
Wang Xinyu, vice president of the group, stood up and said, "Li Sheng, we are still signing orders for home game consoles every day, and I propose that our group fund the establishment of a home game console production company in Tin Shui Wai to cope with the current shortage of production capacity." ā
After listening to the reports of the two vice presidents, Li Guangyu was happy and worried. Nowadays, the form is very good, but the production capacity cannot keep up, which is a big problem. Other game companies don't give Lee much time, they will definitely develop their own new generation of home game consoles, and they will certainly not be much worse than him.
Li Guangyu asked Zhao Xiaoyan, "Have you contacted the Wu family, and do they have any plans to expand production capacity now?"
Zhao Xiaoyan said, "Li Sheng, we have already contacted us, but the Wu family has no plans to expand production capacity now. They're mostly focused on building arcade machines for us. ā
Li Guangyu also knows that assembling arcade machines can make more money than OEM production of home game consoles, and now that the Wu family is said to be ready to develop the TV industry, it is estimated that they have no intention to OEM the production of home game consoles for him. 35xs
Li Guangyu said, "Xuemei, after the meeting, you contact Jianye Company, a subsidiary of Starlight Real Estate, and ask them to build a factory with a daily output of 30,000 home game consoles in the Tin Shui Wai area. The construction of Starlight City can be postponed, and we will talk about the establishment of this company first, and at the same time, our arcade assembly company will recruit people for training on the home game console production line, and it will fall over as soon as it is established. ā
Li Xuemei said, "Li Sheng, regarding the production of home game consoles, we have expanded the number of personnel, and now we are implementing three shifts and stepping up production. It's useless to recruit more now, we can wait for the construction over there to be built, and then recruit talents as needed. ā
Li Guangyu agreed with Li Xuemei's opinion, and then said to Wang Xinyu, "Now is a good time for us to grab orders, you inform the regional branches to seize the time when other game companies do not have a product comparable to ours, and be able to sign more orders." ā
Wang Xinyu got up and replied, "Li Sheng, rest assured, our regional branches attach great importance to the listing and sales of family game consoles, and we will definitely be able to grab a huge cake in this market this time." ā
Li Guangyu is still very confident in this game console, even if other game companies want to develop a game console comparable to him, it will take several months, this period of time is enough for Li Guangyu to occupy an advantage in the home game console market.
Li Guangyu then said to Toru Iwatani, "Mr. Toru Iwatani, thank you for your contribution to the group, on top of the rewards stipulated by the group, I specially reward your development team with another 5 million Hong Kong dollars, which will be distributed according to the size of the merit." ā
Toru Iwatani was overjoyed when he heard that Li Guangyu had offered another five million Hong Kong dollars to reward the development team, and that he himself could get at least another million or so.
Toru Iwatani got up and said, "Thank you Li Sheng, I will definitely develop better game products for the company in the future,"
Li Guangyu rewarded them with only a small amount of what he earned, you know, Pac-Man's current orders alone have earned Li Guangyu more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars in profits.
Lee Kwang Woo said, "Mr. Toru Iwatani, this is a well-deserved reward, and Mr. Toru Iwatani is the deputy general manager of our Xingyu Game Development Company, and I hope that you and Mr. Shigeru Yamamoto can sincerely cooperate and lead the development of our game development company together." ā
Toru Iwatani did not expect the success of this game, not only to get a huge cash prize, but also to become the senior management of the group.
Toru Iwatani said gratefully, "Li Sheng, don't worry, I will cooperate with General Manager Shigeru Yamamoto to lead the development of the company." ā
After Li Guangyu sat down Toru Iwatani, he said to Wang Xinyu, "We also need to vigorously promote the Pac-Man game, and we can't just focus on the family game console." Now we have to walk on two legs, not just one side. ā
Wang Xinyu said, "Li Sheng, we also attach great importance to the listing of Pac-Man games, and we have always had a perfect publicity and sales plan for Pac-Man games. ā
Lee then asked Shigeru Yamamoto about the Twelfth Street Fighter and how Super Mario was developed, especially Super Mario, which is a gold mine.
Shigeru Yamamoto said, "Mr. Li, the 12th Street Fighter has entered the testing stage and will be available for sale next month, and as for the Super Mario development team led by me, it is estimated that it will not be able to enter the test until January next year, and it is estimated that it will not be available until February if it is listed." ā
Li Guangyu said, "Don't worry, we must design well, the quality must be good, we don't lack that time." ā
Li Guangyu considered that after these games came out, the new games were a little out of file, so he said, "Next, we will develop a few casual games, mainly for our game card sales, and at the same time with arcade sales." ā
Later, Lee asked the game development company to develop the Sparrow, Three Kingdoms game, basketball game, backgammon, and chess games.
Except for the Three Kingdoms game, which is also suitable for arcades, most of the other games are mainly on home consoles. Casual people still play at home, and most of the games that go to the game hall still like exciting games.
Li Guangyu then asked about the production of the PC version of the game, for this game for computers, Li Guangyu can only find a market in the United States, today's computers are not popular, there are not many personal computers, how much money you want to make on this, that is unrealistic.
