Chapter 7 Subject to Others [Ask for Subscription!

In mid-September 1987, Wanhu's first work on the red and white machine platform this year only began to go on sale.

Hungry and thirsty for 10,000 fans, a long line formed in front of the store the night before the release.

There are even many people who bring sleeping bags and sleep directly in small tents at night.

The news media, which is a good thing, will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

The TV media is fine, but the print media has encountered embarrassing problems. I took a photo of the queue but didn't dare to use it.

Why don't you dare to use it? The reason is simple.

The image of fanatical players queuing in sleeping bags in a row doesn't look like they're waiting to shop in any way, but like a massive fire in a shopping street, with heavy casualties and dead people being put into body bags.

However, from this side, it also shows the status of Wanhu in the hearts of players and the fun of Wanhu games.

In fact, Wanhu's new game released this time is not a new game series. It is a sequel to Endless Fantasy, Endless Fantasy 2 Dawn Prologue.

This new work of "Endless Fantasy" is a fully upgraded version of the previous generation, with more shocking music, longer flow, and more characters.

In addition to this, a new system was introduced – the plant system. The plant suit, which sounds quite mysterious, is actually the popular mecha now.

Since the end of the seventies, a wave of mecha has spread from manga to animation, and it has a great influence among teenagers.

"Mobile Suit Gundam", directed by Yuki Tomino, has become a classic in the hearts of countless people. In addition, because Bandai's GUNPLA models were sold well, the Gundam series became a classic series that could last for several years.

This time, Wanhu's "Endless Fantasy 2 Dawn Prologue" has added a similar plant setting. It can be said that Wanhu follows the trend, but it also shows the ambition of Wanhu.

The toy market, the model market, is an exceptionally lucrative field.

Wanhu also wanted to enter this field, so he stepped on the "Endless Fantasy 2: Dawn Prologue" to add plant elements. However, although eager for this market.

Wanhu did not distribute a large number of goods, but chose the situation of special gifts and sent the model away.

The reason for this is also a matter of necessity.

Nowadays, there is only one company that can do a good job of toy modeling, and that is Bandai. Although other game manufacturers also make models, they all look like evil gods.

The image that may have looked handsome on paper and in the animation is either short and fat due to the mechanical design, or because the mold is not accurate enough, and the painting is also very urgent, the face of the model seems to have been broken by the evil god of the Cthulhu Mythos.

Wanhu seeks the cooperation of more than 10,000 households and launches an exclusive toy model of "Endless Fantasy 2: Dawn Prologue".

With sales of 1.5 million front seats, "Endless Fantasy 2 Dawn Prologue" has almost no worries in terms of popularity.

However, because Bandai is the only company that can do a good job of modeling, it is a complete seller's market. Bandai's own Gundam sells well, and when Wanhu comes to find cooperation, they don't care very much.

Directly a lion opened his mouth, and it cost only 100 million yen to buy out all the model copyrights of the "Endless Fantasy" series of 10,000 households.

How could Wan Hu agree to such conditions.

The model plan encountered difficulties so far, but fortunately, with the backing of Wanhu China, we found a designer with industrial design capabilities, and after several months of hard work, it was only after "Endless Fantasy 2: Dawn Prologue" was reviewed by Nintendo for several months that a relatively complete sample could be produced.

As for the mass production model, Wanhu does not have such a production line at all, and although engineers are already designing it, it will take several months to complete the production line.

A very small number of hand-produced models can only be given to players as special prizes. At the same time, hand Bandai a signal that we have the ability to make models above the limit.

In this way, even if the model production line of 10,000 households fails in the future, and then go to 10,000 households to find cooperation, you can get better conditions. Because you have similar technology, all that's missing is time.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten.

This is as true for the state as it is for businesses.

If someone else has the technology you don't have, you're going to be choked.

In recent years, a large number of foreign advanced technologies have been introduced, and the Samsung Pearl Co., Ltd. located in South Korea has been a company with unique technology in the future.

In addition to having a unique explosion technology, their OLED screen is also in a class of its own. It has the advantages of thinner screen, brighter colors, no light leakage, and more power saving.

One of the overlords of the smartphone industry at that time, HTC from Taiwan Province, used this screen in its flagship phone.

It happened that Samsung's mobile phone division launched its own flagship phone at that time, and the production capacity of flagship mobile phones was severely limited, and there was no market but no products. Samsung's products are taking advantage of this opportunity and their market share has increased rapidly.

As a result, ham sausage HTC has gradually changed from super-first-class to first-class, from first-class to second-rate, and because the market strategy is too muddled, it has finally become influential.

Although Wanhu wants to make money, it will not put its lifeblood in the hands of other companies like HTC.

Apple often uses more than two suppliers to supply the same component on the mobile phone to ensure that it will not be controlled by others.

And Wanhu is the Wanhu who chooses to produce by themselves and has the backing of a whole country's cheap talents, and has never thought of only making a category, only making small and beautiful.

However, although there are many professionals, there are not many talents with superb management skills.

The development of Wanhu is now constrained by management talents.

Although "Endless Fantasy 2: Dawn Prologue" was suppressed by Nintendo, it forcibly dragged out the golden sales period of the summer vacation.

However, the sales of "Endless Fantasy 2: Dawn Prologue" still exceeded 100,000 on the first day.

If it weren't for the distribution, there were some "non-human" problems, resulting in a nationwide shortage, and the sales on the first day could be higher.

Coincidentally, a game company with 10,000 households has recently been released, and many game companies have similar problems with games released on the red and white machine platform.

Even Hudson, who is known as "Nine Thousand Years Old".

There are no secrets in the circle, just as Takahashi and Sega contacted the industry and knew about it, Hudson also began to develop his own home game console platform with the Electric Company, referred to as NEC.

The third party is becoming more and more resentful of Nintendo, and it seems that there is just one chance to rise up, and the domineering Nintendo empire will collapse.

Almost all third parties are working on this, but will they succeed?

Countless people have this question in their hearts.
