Chapter 334: Xu Xiao has no return

In the past few days, both gamers and the entire game industry have focused their attention on Penguin Empire's latest game, Penguin Shootout.

Penguin Empire is worthy of being the leader of the game industry, and within two days they spent 50 million yuan, using various posters, channels, and inviting a certain star to advertise, which can be described as overwhelming.

Now, they're holding a game launch event in a lobby.

"Mr. Zhou, it is rumored that your Penguin Company's game "Penguin Shootout" this time imitates Maple Leaf's "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", what do you think of this?"

The hall was filled with hundreds of seats, which were remembered by the major game media, and one of the female reporters got up to ask a question.

And the object of her question is the person sitting in the middle of the high platform in front of her, and he is also Xu Xiao's right-hand man, Zhou Kang, the head of the game department.

When Zhou Kang heard this question, his old fox-like face remained silent, and he said lightly: "Pure nonsense! Our Penguin Company has always believed in the spirit of originality, and every game under our hands is created by our hard work, and I will never allow anyone to slander it!"

The corner of the female reporter's mouth twitched, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Penguin Empire was plagiarizing, and Kang's ability to open her eyes and talk nonsense this week was really powerful, she didn't want to ask more, otherwise she would be kicked out of the venue, so she could only sit down stupidly.

"Mr. Zhou, "Penguin Shootout" and "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" are both shooting games, do you think your company's "Penguin Shootout" can surpass "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and regain the leading company in shooting games?"

A man remembered to stand up, and the reason why he used "again" was because before PUBG, the most popular game was to cross the fuse, but as soon as PUBG appeared, it was almost cold to cross the fuse.

Zhou Kang showed great confidence on his face, and said with a smile: "We Penguin Company don't want to compete with anyone, we do our games with our hearts, Penguin Company's reputation for many years is also known to everyone, I firmly believe that our game is the best in the whole of China, no one can surpass!"

He is full of confidence, not only because of the support of Xu Xiao behind him, but also because the Penguin Empire has invested more money in the Penguin Shootout than any previous game in order to defeat Maple Leaf this time, not only has he specially invited a famous game development team from abroad to make the Penguin Shootout, but he has spent 50 million on the promotion of the game alone, otherwise it will not be able to deal such a huge blow to the Maple Leaf Company in a short period of time!

The people below were speechless, who could not know the reputation of the penguins...... In addition to plagiarism is imitation, how many original game companies have collapsed, this Zhou Kang's face is really not ordinarily thick, he speaks one by one, and his old face is not blushing at all!

At the same time, Xu Xiao sat in front of the TV to watch the broadcast of the game press conference.

"Hehe, this Zhou Kang, it's really an old fritter, it's really good!"

Xu Xiao was very satisfied with Zhou Kang's words, no matter how good the penguin company is, the surface work has to be done beautifully, right.

Zhou Kang is also very satisfied with himself, and the next 12 hours will be the official closed beta time of the penguin shootout game.

"Ding, ding, ding!"

However, at this time, Zhou Kang's mobile phone, which was at the press conference, suddenly rang.

He wanted to hang up the phone, but when he saw that it was someone from the top of the company, he picked it up.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, it's not good, it's not good!" came an anxious voice on the other end of the phone.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Kang frowned.

"Maple Leaf Company they ...... They've suddenly released a new game called League of Legends, and according to the data, the fans that our company has attracted from Maple Leaf are decreasing at a terrible rate, and the number of League of Legends players is skyrocketing!"

"What!"

Zhou Kang exclaimed in surprise almost instantly, and immediately took out his mobile phone and began to inquire.

"Wow, what kind of game is this, I've never played it before!"

"It's fun, it's fun! I like innovative games, Maple Leaf is awesome, and innovative games are coming out so soon!"

"I have been a fan of the Maple Leaf Company, and I have long watched the Penguin Empire imitate it every day, and the garbage penguin shootout, imitating the whole family!"

“……”

All of a sudden, almost all players have rave reviews for the new game League of Legends, they have played too many shooting games, they are tired of it, and now they suddenly play such a very innovative and good game, and they have all returned to the arms of Maple Leaf for a while!

It is not only League of Legends that has received praise, but also the reputation of Maple Leaf in the minds of players has skyrocketed instantly, do you think the most difficult thing in this year is to make games?

In this era of imitation and plagiarism everywhere and copycats flying all over the world, the most difficult thing is to make innovative games, and Maple Leaf, whether it is PUBG or League of Legends, is a completely innovative boutique game, which makes many gamers completely become die-hard fans of Maple Leaf!

"Ding, ding, ding!"

At this time, at the press conference, many reporters' mobile phones rang one after another, and they quickly picked up the phone, and then ran out one after another as agreed!

"Hey, the press conference isn't over yet, where are you going?"

Zhou Kang shouted loudly with a calm face, but how could those reporters pay attention to him, and now that Maple Leaf has suddenly released such a new game with countless fans, how can they still stay here and be interested in a copycat game?

It was only two minutes before and after, and the original seat was empty in an instant, and it was extremely lonely.

"Bastard!"

Zhou Kang slammed the table in annoyance, gritted his teeth, but finally collapsed weakly on the chair.

It's a shame that he just said that Penguin Shootout is the best game, but now he is slapped in the face every minute, and even the reporter doesn't bird him!

And Xu Xiao, who was watching all this in front of the TV, suddenly changed his face!

"Mr. Xu, the users of our company's new game Penguin Shootout are plummeting......"

"Mr. Xu, the number of League of Legends users of Maple Leaf Company has increased by 50% year-on-year, and it is still growing at a very fast rate!"

“……”

His cell phone rang one after another, and all of them were full of bad news.

Gamers in the market are fixed, like a piece of cake, so all of them are dominated by Maple Leaf's new game League of Legends, and Penguin Shootout will only get a small piece of cake......

"Mr. Xu, according to the latest calculations of the company's accounting department, this time our company's penguin shootout ...... It's likely to end up losing money......"

On the other end of the phone came the cautious voice of the female secretary.

Xu Xiao was silent for a while and asked, "How much do you lose?"

"Counting the game production and post-publicity, we invested more than 500 million yuan in the penguin shootout, but ...... If this trend continues, our game will probably not even make 100 million yuan in the end......"

Hanging up the phone, Xu Xiao sighed deeply and showed a wry smile.

He had never suffered a loss in the mall, but today he was defeated by a student......

This time, in his opinion, the seamless plan not only did not even get back the cost, but also lost 400 million, which is simply a loss of money!
