After listening to Wu Ming's analysis, Huo Jianning also had to admit that if he didn't add another source of profit, it might really affect the development of "Phantasy Star".

Some time ago, it cost more than $5 million to acquire many electronics factories to set up Aihua Electronics Company, and more than $6 million was spent on the development of the "Phantasy Star" and other projects, as well as the company's various expenses.

At the beginning of next month, we will have to pay a total of 15 million US dollars for chips and screens, and we will also buy patents and production lines for TN LCD screen technology.

Fortunately, now Star Entertainment's Pokemon pet machine and "Great Wall Cube" and "Snake" are selling very well, and those businessmen have to accept Star Entertainment's overlord terms, and if they want to place an order, they must pay 80% of the deposit in advance.

So now the company still has nearly 30 million US dollars in liquidity, and it can also come up with a sum of money for Wu Ming to squander.

Thinking of this, Huo Jianning couldn't help but complain a little: "Xiao Ming, what do you want to do next time and leave some funds." Although Star Entertainment is very profitable now, it also spends a lot of money."

Wu Ming hurriedly smiled and replied: "Don't worry, it won't be like this next time, the main thing is that when I go back to the mainland for the New Year, I can bring cartoons back and sell them to those TV stations in the mainland, and establish a cooperative relationship as soon as possible."

That's why I'm in a hurry to buy an animation company, but there is no animation company in Xiangjiang, so I can only go to the island country to buy one. By the way, he also established a manga publishing house there. ”

"Okay, but I'll give you a maximum of four million dollars, and the rest will be used in emergencies. ”

"No problem, $5 million is 1.25 billion yen, which is enough for the time being. ”

Now that he got the money, Wu Ming didn't stay with Huo Jianning for long, and left the president's office to inspect various departments of Xingchen Entertainment.

I stayed in the platform technology development department for a while, discussed with the people in the home machine development team for a short time, and told them some important functions and features of the Nintendo red and white machine in the previous life, and asked them to develop in that direction.

Then came the game software development department.

At this time, the staff of the game software development department also tried to develop some small games independently, but because the time they have been in contact with the game design industry is too short, most of the games are unsightly, and none of them are eligible for sale.

So now the pressure on this department is very high, and other departments are secretly accusing them of poor ability, and once the boss's task is completed, nothing can be done.

However, with such a period of practice, these people are no longer the rookies they used to be.

All the personnel had already gathered in front of Wu Ming, waiting for Wu Ming to give a new task.

Wu Ming saw that the people below were looking at him with expectant eyes, and he also knew that they were under a lot of pressure for a while and couldn't raise their heads in the company.

"I know you've been being ridiculed by the rest of the company for a while, so I'm here to give you a chance to change the image of the game software development department in the minds of other departments.

This time, I won't give you the program of the game directly, but will only give you a plan. No matter how you develop, as long as you can achieve the results stated in the plan, it means that you are not wasting the company's funds in vain for a while, but have been improving your capabilities. ”

"Oh!"

All the people in the game software development department cheered, and they didn't want to be looked at by other people, but they were all novices, and they didn't have any game development geniuses, and the games they developed were not fun, and they weren't desperate. Now it's finally a chance to prove yourself.

Wu Ming smiled, took out the plan and pointed to Cao Yongping, the minister of the game software development department.

"Minister Cao, this is the game you want to develop this time, I have also drawn on it what kind of effects you need, I hope you can complete this task well. ”

Cao Yongping was full of smiles, took the plan excitedly, and replied loudly: "Got it, boss, we promise to complete the task perfectly." ”

After speaking, Cao Yongping couldn't wait to open the planning book.

After a while, Cao Yongping roughly finished reading the plan, and his face was full of eager expressions.

"Boss, is there anything else, if it's okay, I'll go with them to study the plan now. ”

Wu Ming looked at his impatient appearance, smiled and waved his hand, and said, "Go, go!"

Cao Yongping got Wu Ming's consent, and immediately took the people from the game software development department to study the planning book of "Bubble Dragon".

Seeing this, Wu Ming just smiled and left Xingchen Entertainment.

When he returned home, Wu Ming carefully discussed with his parents about going to the island country. In the end, it was decided that the family would go to the island country during the Christmas holiday, and they would also take Wu Ming's friends with them, not only to carry out business activities, but also to spend a vacation by the way.

……

On December 22, Wuming School officially closed for the holidays, and the holiday lasted until January 4.

Unlike schools in the Mainland, schools in Hong Kong arrange summer holidays of more than 10 days for Christmas, Chinese New Year and Easter in addition to summer vacation from July to August, instead of the "winter vacation" commonly referred to by schools in the Mainland.

Wu Ming's family, who had been preparing for a long time, took Zhu Yin, Gu Tianle, and Gu Tianyin and flew to the island country by plane.

At the same time, Star Entertainment's "Tank Wars" was also officially released on this day. Now Star Entertainment is no longer obscure as before, but a rookie company whose reputation has spread all over the world.

Therefore, as soon as "Tank Wars" was released, it attracted a lot of attention from the world.

Those merchants who were waiting to buy "Great Wall Blocks" and "Snake" saw that there were such fun games again. Although it can't be compared to "Great Wall Cube", it is much more interesting than "Snake", so I went on to place orders like crazy.

And because of the addition of several more foundries, the number of arcade shipments of Star Entertainment every day has reached a terrifying number of up to 600 units. "The Great Wall Cube" accounted for more than half, and the rest was divided equally between "Tank Wars" and "Snake".
