By the time Jiang Hui put his energy into the Guanghui Group again, it was already mid-December.

Glorious Games' "Glory of Kings", Glorious Films' micro-film "Father" and Glorious Weibo Du have entered the final sprint stage. It is foreseeable that 2005 will be full of surprises at the beginning of the Korn Ferry Group.

During this time, with the number of users of the island country branch of the school intranet exceeding 15 million, several products of Guanghui Games have become completely popular in the island country.

Very early on, Jiang Hui had already arranged for Glorious Games to launch various international versions of "Happy Farm", "Angry Birds", "Grab a Parking Space", "Fishing Game", "Defend the Carrot" and "Plants vs. Zombies". As of now, the Japanese versions of these games have also been released. The launch of these games on the intranet has effectively boosted the increase in the number of users in the intranet and the island countries. Or it can also be understood that the increase in the number of intranet users in the school has strongly promoted the popularity of these games in the island country.

The market of the island nation has always been relatively closed. This is related to the national character of the island people, who have always been relatively closed in history, coupled with the small land area and lack of resources, which has caused the island people to be relatively closed. Whether it is the financial industry, the IT industry or the industry, and even some domestic product standards in the island countries are not in line with international standards.

Americans are well aware of this. From the 80s to the 90s of the last century, there was a trade friction war between Japan and the United States, and the United States repeatedly accused the island countries of being closed to the market, and there were many obstacles for foreign-funded enterprises and foreign products to enter the island countries' markets. The U.S. Embassy has also written a book to systematically collect evidence and materials on the market closure of island countries, including everything from the detailed rules stipulated by the policies of the government of the island countries to the explicit and unspoken rules of the guilds.

Therefore, in this environment, it is very satisfying that the school intranet and Glory Games can achieve such results in the island country.

In particular, the Japanese version of "Plants vs. Zombies", which has only recently been released, is even more popular with users in island countries.

Nintendo is a world-renowned entertainment manufacturer in the island nation, one of the three giants of the video game industry, and the pioneer of the modern video game industry. Nintendo has developed the best-selling game series in gaming history, Super Mario and Pokémon, as well as the Legend of Zelda series, which has received the highest overall rating in global media.

Just last year, the improved version of Nintendo's GBA console, the GBA SP, went on sale on Valentine's Day, and the first shipment of 130,000 units sold out within two hours.

However, in the second half of this year, Nintendo's sales growth slowed significantly compared to previous years.

"President, this is the latest sales situation, and we have sorted out and reported to you every six months according to your instructions last month." m.

"In the past, this season was the peak sales season, but this year there is only a 5% increase, which is very strange, has the sales department reviewed why?".

"We've done several rounds of research on this issue, and it's not just our company that's slowing down, it's also companies like Sega. This may have something to do with the development of the entire industry, after the rapid growth inside, the traditional game industry has entered a state of saturation."

"So what do you have from your sales department?"

"At present, the development of the Internet is very fast, and various games on the Internet are attracting more and more users, which is one of the reasons for the slow growth of our company. I think companies can consider increasing their focus on internet gaming."

"You just said that the various games on the Internet have slowed down the growth of our company?".

"Yes, a lot of white-collar workers and college students have recently put their energy into intranet web games. These games are beautiful, easy to use, and most importantly, you can interact with a large number of friends on them, which is very popular right now."

"The intranet inside the school is the dating site that was recently reported by the island nation of Yahu?".

"Yes, this is a Celestial Empire company, but the strange thing is that it is also very popular in our country, and this phenomenon has shocked the industry. It is said that many companies in Silicon Valley saw this situation and thought that our investment environment and the preferences of netizens had changed significantly, and began to increase the pace of entering the Chinese market."

"You go back and submit an analysis of the various games in the school intranet to me, and I will study it well."

An office building in Tokyo.

"Kawashima-kun, didn't you sleep well yesterday, why are you so sleepy."

"Ozawa-kun, are you playing "Plants vs. Zombies"? It's so fun, I was busy until more than three o'clock in the evening in order to pass the 36th level last night, and I recharged and bought a few props later, and I finally passed the level."

"Yes, I've been playing Defend the Carrots lately, and I think the turnips and monsters are so cute, but I'm going to check out Plants vs. Zombies too."

"Defending the Carrot is really good, but I think Plants vs. Zombies is more interesting, and I highly recommend you play it too."

……

A game hall.

"Boss, why don't you have Angry Birds?

"Excuse me, but which company is Angry Birds and why haven't I heard of it?".

"You don't care too much about the industry dynamics, now everyone is playing on the Internet, I wonder if it is better to play in the game hall, but I didn't expect you to have it."

"Excuse me, but is Angry Birds a new product from Nintendo?".

"I don't know, anyway, everyone is playing on the intranet now, and it's very popular."

"Then I'm going to contact Nintendo's affiliates and see if I can launch an arcade version of Angry Birds."

A university classroom in an island country.

"Kato-kun, you can't play games during class time, and the professor will get angry when he develops."

"It's okay, he thinks I'm looking at the courseware. The "Fishing Game" on the intranet is so much fun, and I've earned more than 100,000 yen in the last week."

"Huh, what do you say, you can make money playing games?".

"Yes, after you recharge in the intranet through the recharge system, you can use the recharged beans to exchange for props for the "Fishing Game". With these props, you can catch more fish lanes, and every time you catch some fish, the system will reward some beans in the school, and when you are lucky, the reward will be more than you spend, which is equivalent to making money."

"It's so funny, I'll go back and have some fun."

"Call me when you want to play, we can go and play together, it's more fun than playing alone."

"Really, okay, why don't you go to my apartment after class and let's play together."
