What's more, Wu Ming has memories of his previous life, and he was also mixed in the game industry in his previous life. Naturally, we know what genius game designers will emerge in the game industry in the future. When the time comes, let the two branches of the United States and the island country focus on searching for them and recruit them to Star Entertainment, so that there is no need to worry about the talent problem in game development.

When it came to game development, Huo Jianning seemed to have thought of something, and a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Wu Ming was a little curious and asked, "Uncle Jianning, you have thought of something interesting, say it and listen to it." ”

Huo Jianning pursed his lips and drank a cup of tea. Then he replied: "During the time when you and I left Xiangjiang, many people came to our company to poach people. It's just that our company is treated so well now, only a few have been poached, and they are all ordinary employees. ”

Wu Ming had a stunned expression on his face, he didn't expect that someone would come to dig the foot of the wall while he and Huo Jianning were not in Xiangjiang.

"What's going on?"

Huo Jianning then slowly explained to Wu Ming.

"Isn't our company becoming more and more prosperous now, I don't know which employee in the company didn't put a good tone and spread our company's sales and profits.

A while ago, TV stations and newspapers throughout Xiangjiang reported that our Star Entertainment has hundreds of millions of dollars in sales and tens of millions of dollars in net profits every month.

Some tabloids even magnified this figure several times, or even ten times, saying that we made hundreds of millions of dollars every month, which caused a sensation throughout Xiangjiang. Now the whole Xiangjiang is rumored that you are the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, and I envy the chairman for giving birth to a good son. ”

Wu Ming sneered, and said with a smile: "Is it necessary to do this, does anyone still believe it? This is obviously fake." You must know that when our company first started, it made millions of Hong Kong dollars a month, and now it can earn one or two million dollars a month, how can there be so much. ”

Huo Jianning smiled and said, "Some ordinary citizens may really believe it, but those who are well-informed will naturally not believe it." But I also know that our Xingchen Entertainment is very prosperous now, and the speed of making money is the same as grabbing money, so there is a lot of capital aimed at our products.

Pokemon pet machines are easier to imitate. However, the market in Xiangjiang is relatively small, and those overseas businessmen pay more attention to the genuine and recognize our company's products. So they gave up on this option.

The arcade machines are selling well in Xiangjiang, and now there are nearly 100 game halls in the whole Xiangjiang, plus some supermarkets, cinemas, and restaurants will also place game machines. So they decided to enter the gaming market.

It's just that they don't know what game development is, and few of the people recruited from the society know it, so they can only poach people from our company in the end.

It's a pity that there are not many people who are willing to leave our company, so they only have two or three game companies that have successfully established, and we don't know how their game development is going. ”

The smile on Wu Ming's face slowly faded, and after a while, Wu Ming made a decision in his heart.

"I'm going to support them. ”

"What?"

It may have been too sudden, and he was a little caught off guard, Huo Jianning thought he had heard it wrong, and asked again.

Wu Ming showed a firm expression on his face, and repeated again: "I want to support them who want to join the game market." ”

Huo Jianning finally heard clearly this time, Wu Ming wanted to support those opponents who came to grab the market.

After thinking about it, Huo Jianning suddenly became anxious, immediately stood up, and retorted: "Xiao Ming, they are menacing, and they are all here to compete with us.

If they all develop, we will not be able to monopolize the entire game market in Hong Kong. If we don't suppress them, even if we have benevolence, we shouldn't support them, and then let them come and grab the market with us!"

Wu Ming smiled slightly, and hurriedly asked Huo Jianning to calm down, "Uncle Jianning, you calm down first, it makes sense for me to do this." ”

Huo Jianning calmed down a little and said, "Xiao Ming, if you don't give me a good reason, I will never agree to your decision." ”

Wu Ming nodded, his expression became serious, and said, "Uncle Jianning, have you forgotten that in addition to arcade machines, our company also has home consoles and handheld machines. ”

Huo Jianning was a little puzzled and asked, "What does it matter?"

Wu Ming explained: "The relationship is big, the two game carriers of home consoles and handheld consoles are different from arcade machines. The arcade can only play one game per machine, so it can dominate the market with its super high playability.

However, home consoles and handhelds are plugged in, and game cartridges can be changed at will, and it is impossible to occupy the market with just a few games.

No matter how good our games are, if there are not even ten games on it, other companies can have hundreds or thousands of games for players to choose from. Even though those games may be a little worse than ours, which side do you think players will choose to take?"

Huo Jianning was also stunned when he heard Wu Ming's words. After pondering for a while, Huo Jianning said with some hesitation: "It should be another company!"

Obviously, Huo Jianning also knows very well that home consoles with only a few games are not comparable to those with rich games. At this time, he also fully understood why Wu Ming decided to support those who wanted to enter the game market.

The era of home consoles is not that your home console has good performance, and the games above can occupy the market if they are fun.

For example, Sega, a well-known company in the game industry, has a lot of experience in arcade development because it is a long-established game company. So their consoles have always surpassed Nintendo in terms of performance.

It's a pity that this is useless, at that time, around Nintendo, a large number of third-party game development companies have long been attracted by relying on the market share of red and white machines, so the types of games on Nintendo's console are diverse and very rich.

However, because there was no third party to develop games for his console, Sega had to rely on porting arcade games, resulting in an unbalanced configuration of its game lineup, which was far less diverse than Nintendo's games.

Therefore, Sega's console sales can only lag far behind Nintendo.

Later, Sony, the predator, entered the home machine market, and the competition in the home machine market became more intense.

By the end of the 20th century, Sega, which could not hold on, had no choice but to announce its withdrawal from the home game console market, and began to transform into a software manufacturer, which made countless Sega fans choke.
