At the time when Nintendo decided to join the Star Entertainment camp, other game companies in the island country were also discussing the royalty system.

Like Nintendo, they are also more receptive to the royalty system.

However, they are not as confident in Star Entertainment as Nintendo, so they are ready to look at PSB's sales results before deciding whether to join the Star Entertainment camp.

Because Xingchen Entertainment has made a commitment to recycle all unsold PSB game consoles. Coupled with the good reputation of Star Entertainment, the dealers have not been affected by the media.

On January 10, the PSB game console was officially launched simultaneously around the world.

In North America, although all media are unanimously optimistic about Xingchen Entertainment, PSB's first-day sales still reached more than 20,000 units.

First-day sales in Europe also reached more than 8,000 units.

Sales in Asia, including island countries and Xiangjiang, reached 50,000 units on the first day.

A month later, PSB sold a total of 320,000 units worldwide.

After the figures on the sales report came out, the American game companies just pouted and stopped wantonly slandering Star Entertainment, but they still couldn't accept the royalty system.

Game companies in island nations can't sit still, they don't have the same deep pockets as their American counterparts. A platform that expects millions of retainers is very tempting to them.

Sega, Namco and other game companies have sent people to the headquarters of Centron Entertainment in Xiangjiang to negotiate, wanting to become a third-party game developer for PSB.

However, because they didn't surrender in the first place, they only got the worst treatment, paying a $5 premium per cassette, unlike Xiangjiang's game company, which only had to pay a $3 premium.

……

Because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, Wu Ming had to stop the development of the Access database, handed over the task to Charles Simeone, and returned to Xiangjiang with Huo Jianning.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back!" As soon as he arrived at the door, Wu Ming called out loudly.

"You stinky boy, you have been away from home for so long, and you still know how to come back!"

Father Wu Bing'an was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper at this time, and when he heard his son's shout, he couldn't help but smile and scolded with a smile.

In the past few months, in order to step up the development of software, Wu Ming has returned to Xiangjiang four or five times, and each time he stayed for a short time.

Wu Ming sat on the sofa, touched his head embarrassedly, and said with a sneer: "Dad, I'm not too busy! I have explained everything in the United States, and I can stay in Xiangjiang forever in the future." ”

Li Feng, the mother in the back room, heard her son's voice and rushed out at this time. walked in front of Wu Ming, looked left and right, carefully checked Wu Ming, then patted Wu Ming and scolded: "You stinky boy, you are not allowed to leave home for so long in the future." ”

When Wu Ming heard this, he smiled and said, "I know, I won't be next time!"

Zhou Huimin and Sakai Noriko also ran out of the back room at this time and gathered around Wu Ming. The faces of the two were full of happy smiles, which showed that they were very happy about Wu Ming's return.

"Amin, you're finally back!"

"Amin, we miss you so much!"

Wu Ming touched the heads of the two of them and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law Min, Fazi, I miss you too!"

Then Zhu Yin, Gu Tianle, Gu Tianyin and several other friends who got the news also came to Wu Ming's house and got together with Wu Ming.

In the evening, after dinner.

Wu Ming and his father Wu Bing'an sat in the living room chatting.

Wu Bing'an picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot tea, and sighed: "Although your kid has left Xiangjiang, it is very lively here because of you, and it does not stop at all." Now people on the outside are still speculating about where the $400 million you acquired Luen Mei came from. ”

Wu Ming's acquisition of the Hollywood giant United Pictures has too great an impact on Xiangjiang, a place known as "Oriental Hollywood".

People in the Hong Kong film industry have always wanted to enter Hollywood, and they naturally covet big Hollywood companies, but unfortunately they don't have the money to buy them.

And other people who Hong Kong can afford to buy are not interested in the film industry.

Wu Ming's acquisition of Luen Mei Pictures is the first time in Xiangjiang.

When Wu Ming heard this, he smiled and asked, "They should all think that my money was drawn from Xingchen Entertainment, right?!"

Although it was a question, Wu Ming's tone was full of affirmation.

After all, his investment in oil futures was known to his family and a few people such as Huo Jianning, and he had not disclosed it.

Other outsiders don't know about this, so they can only speculate on Xingchen Entertainment.

Wu Bingan nodded and said with a smile: "Isn't it, how do they know that you don't have much money left in Xingchen Entertainment." ”

Last year, Star Entertainment relied on arcade machines, Pokemon pet machines, block machines and other projects, with billions of dollars in sales and after-tax profits of $500 million.

$100 million of that money was invested in the research and development of PSB, and $200 million was spent proposing a distribution channel in most parts of the world.

The remaining money is simply not enough to acquire Luen Mei Pictures.

After pondering for a while, Wu Bing'an instructed again: "Xiao Ming, you have established such a big career in the blink of an eye, and if you continue like this, those companies of Xingchen Entertainment will continue to grow."

But you still have to be careful, because things are unpredictable in the mall. Especially the last time you invested in oil futures, it was too risky.

How can you put all the money into it? and even borrow so much money from the bank. If you make a mistake, the loss is too great. ”

When he learned from Huo Jianning that Wu Ming had made two billion dollars from investing in oil futures, Wu Bingan was also very shocked.

Then Wu Bing'an was very angry that Wu Ming was so risky, and later taught Wu Ming a good lesson.

However, for the sake of Wu Ming making so much money at one time, the matter was quickly revealed.

But Wu Bingan was still worried that his son would take risks next time, so he couldn't help but advise carefully this time.

Wu Ming also knew that he was too risky last time, but that opportunity was too rare, and he didn't want to let it go at all. Even if he did it again, Wu Ming would still do it.

But now that Wu Ming has enough funds, he doesn't need to take the big risk like last time.

"Dad, you can rest assured, in the future, I will only use the excess funds to invest in futures, and it will not affect the main business of Xingchen Entertainment. Wu Ming assured.

Wu Bing'an saw that his son made a guarantee, and he was also relieved.

"But you're really good, you're so bold, I wouldn't dare to do that. Wu Bingan shook his head and admired.
