Chapter 336: Half a Day

Shinji Mikami and Uda Zhong were both taken aback, they never thought that Fang Mingyuan actually had the ambition to annex the CAP! Under the "agitation", Uda Nakashi almost knocked over the dessert in front of him!

In recent years, although CAP has been in trouble, facing serious financial losses, and a large number of old employees have left, causing a great loss of the company's vitality, the daily magazine "Famitsu" in the '96 New Year's issue according to the usual invitation to many companies in the game industry to deliver a new "spring" message, CAP president Senbon Masaki is the second-to-last ranking sequence, which can be said to be a rare bleak in the past.

But after all, CAP is once the best among Japanese game companies, the so-called skinny camel is bigger than a horse, an obscure American game company, even with the support of Fang Mingyuan behind it, wants to swallow CAP, in the eyes of Uda Zhong and Mikami Shinji, it is still not an easy thing. Because the Senbon family who mastered the cap was not a family that would bow down easily.

"Fang Jun, I'm afraid this is not an easy thing!" Uda Zhong said in a deep voice, "Hehe, that old guy from Senbon Masaki is not a person who will give up the cap!" ”

Fang Mingyuan knew that the founder of CAP, which was founded in 1980, was Masaki Chimon, and it was CAP that made him a man of the year in the Japanese industry, and obtained an extremely large family property.

But...... The business world is cruel and ruthless, and the devouring of capital and mergers and acquisitions are happening all the time in this shijie, and in the process of CAP development and growth, it has also merged many companies in the same industry. And in today's situation, if CAP does not have any miracles in the near future, then at the latest next year, when the Southeast Asian financial crisis breaks out, the Senbon family will face the fate of either going bankrupt and liquidating CAP or being swallowed up by other companies!

It's good to be a born-again!

"Director Uda, there are many things in this shijie that cannot be changed by personal will! President Masaki Senmon must have a very deep understanding of this as well! Fang Mingyuan said, "Many things, if you don't try it, how can you know if it will work?" ”

Uda Zhong and Mikami Shinji looked at each other, it seemed that Fang Mingyuan was indeed interested in acquiring CAP. If this spreads, it will definitely cause an earthquake in the Japanese game industry!

"Director Uda, there is one more thing I would like to ask for help from the company." Fang Mingyuan did not continue to dwell on this topic.

"Fang Jun, please speak!" Uda Zhong bowed slightly. The hot sales of "Resident Evil" undoubtedly further enhanced Fang Mingyuan's voice in Sega Co., Ltd., although he is not the largest shareholder at present, but his request, how dare the board of directors of Sega Co., Ltd. despise it.

"Blizzard will launch a turn-based strategy game on PC in the near future - "Heroes of Magic" Door is invincible, and this part is sold in Japan, I hope the company can help promote it, and Blizzard will pay the company according to the market price." Fang Mingyuan said softly, "I don't know if the club is willing?" ”

"The Invincible Heroes of the Magic Gate? It's Joe. Ten thousand. The ...... of the "Magic Gate" series of games produced by Mr. Kamhelm Before Uda Zhong could answer, Shinji Mikami, who had a surprised "look", had already asked urgently.

"Gaiden!" Fang Ming said from afar, "Joe. Ten thousand. Mr. Campham is now the deputy general manager of Blizzard. ”

"Wait, Fang Jun, is this Blizzard company you are talking about, the former Chaos game studio that launched the Warcraft game the year before and last year?" Uda Zhong couldn't sit still at all this time, and jumped up from his chair and said.

"Master, do you need anything else?" Seeing Uda Zhong standing up, a young "girl" hurriedly trotted over and asked.

"No, no, no, I don't need anything." Utian Zhong waved his hand, but his eyes were staring directly at Fang Mingyuan's eyes and said, "Fang Jun, when did you buy it?" ”

Shinji Mikami and Nakashi Uda had difficulty controlling their "excited" emotions at this time, although they said that they were manufacturers and game manufacturers of home game consoles, but this did not mean that they did not pay attention to the development of computer games at all.

The magic "gate" series of games is one of the three major RPG games in Europe and the United States on the same level as the Genesis and Witchcraft series, and it is famous among all shijie game lovers, just like readers who like fantasy novels rarely don't know "Dragon Lance" and "The Lord of the Rings"! Born in 1986, the "Magic Gate" series has now come out in its fifth generation, and it has achieved a great response in the whole Shijie.

And Chaos Game Studios is also well-known in the Japanese game industry, because they have several games that have been ported by Nintendo and have achieved good results. But what made them even more famous was the Warcraft series of games that were launched in '94 and '95 respectively!

As soon as "Warcraft" was launched, it was in the whole Shijie range and caused a huge response.

Although many people believe that "Warcraft" is a follow-up work of "Dune 2", which was becoming popular at the time, its pioneering real-time strategy networking mode pointed out the direction of development for the multiplayer mode of real-time strategy games in the future, and the "operation" setting of a large number of shortcuts also laid the foundation for the development of future games. What's more, the random map generator that comes with the game is also the first thing to appear in a real-time strategy game, which adds a lot of fun to many players who are tired of playing fixed maps. In "Warcraft", the truth of "fighting with people is endless" has been extremely verified.

The release of "Warcraft 2" in 95 and the expansion pack released in the future have established Blizzard's position in the game industry in one fell swoop! Although the expansion pack has not yet been officially launched, the success of these two games in Shijie and the huge profits they have made are obvious to everyone.

Many large companies have extended an olive branch to Blizzard for mergers and acquisitions, but the owners of Blizzard have completely ignored it. It turns out that Fang Mingyuan is the real person in charge behind Blizzard!

"Director Uda, please be seated. When I bought it in '94, Blizzard was really called Chaos Game Studios, and the name Blizzard was changed later. Fang Mingyuan was already very proud in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be indifferent. Uda Nakashi and Shinji Mikami's mood at this time can be said to be "excited" and indescribable!

Such a "mixed" emerging company in the computer game industry is actually from Fang Mingyuan's hand, which makes the two of them admire Fang Mingyuan's investment vision and superb attainments in game production!

With Blizzard, it means that Fang Mingyuan has enough influence and the right to speak that cannot be ignored, whether in the field of home game consoles or in the computer field! In fact, this means that they don't know that Fang Mingyuan is still the third largest shareholder of Microsoft, otherwise, I'm afraid that my jaw will fall.

"Fang Jun, there is absolutely no problem with this, Sega Co., Ltd. will definitely do its best to help Blizzard promote it in Japan!" Uda Zhong immediately made a decision. Not to mention that Blizzard has Fang Mingyuan standing behind it, just with Blizzard's "colorful" game production ability, Sega Co., Ltd. must also attract it more. Who can guarantee that Blizzard won't be on the home console market in the future?

Fang Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction, of course, Blizzard also has its own agent sales company in Japan, but Fang Mingyuan thinks that Sega's sales system is naturally more "outstanding", he wants to see what kind of results "Heroes of Magic Gate" can achieve with the help of Sega Co., Ltd.? Can you surpass your previous life?

Since the will Joe. Ten thousand. Kanchem has taken over Blizzard, so he definitely doesn't want "Heroes of Magic Gate" to go down the same path!

Today's "Heroes of Magic Gate" is different from the original version in the previous life, and under Fang Mingyuan's "interference", the playable "sex" has been significantly improved, which is also the main reason why Weishenme's release has been delayed until ninety-six years.

"Fang Jun, I will also inform those former colleagues, I believe that they will learn that they can communicate with Qiao. Ten thousand. Mr. Kanchem will be a delight to work with! Shinji Mikami was also overjoyed. If it weren't for the fact that these two companies were under Fang Mingyuan's control, he would have the idea of going to Blizzard for a moment.

"Ishihara-kun, when will the goods be delivered?" Ryunosuke San was already anxious at this time, the store had 1,700 sets of inventory, and 300 sets of "Resident Evil" bundled with the Saturn console, and now there are less than 400 sets left, and the long queue at the entrance of the store's "door" is still not reduced at all compared to when the "door" was opened. If this continues, this surplus will only last for less than an hour! Even the customers who are currently waiting in line can't be satisfied!

But the delivery truck has been nowhere to be seen for a long time, how can it not make Ryunosuke three anxious?

"Dragon Monarch, the goods have just been sent, and I believe that in forty minutes, they should be delivered. Alas, don't be in such a hurry, we can't be busy here now! The call to ask for the goods has never been interrupted! Okay, I'm going to get another truck right away. The voice on the phone was hoarse.

Ryunosuke San gasped, he had been on the phone for so long, and the goods had just been delivered, so what did he have to do over there!

"Ishihara-kun, wait a minute!" Ryunosuke immediately shouted, "You add another three thousand to me, no, no, five thousand!" Another 500 sets of hosts are bundled. With such a large amount of mine, you can deliver it first, right? ”

"Ah, five thousand sets! So much? The other party's surprised voice came from the phone, "I'm afraid I can't promise you, our inventory is also very tight now, and we are urgently transferring goods from Sega Co., Ltd., I can only promise you a maximum of 3,000 sets today, if you can replenish the goods in time, I can send you another 2,000 sets!" What do you think? ”

"Okay! No problem! Ishihara-kun, please arrange the delivery as soon as possible for the sake of everyone who has worked together for many years! Please! Ryunosuke answered in one bite. What kind of international joke, now "Resident Evil" is in short supply, and it is long live to be able to get the goods!

Ryunosuke wiped a handful of sweat and let out a sigh of relief, if nothing else, then before the surplus on hand was sold out, the truck would deliver two thousand sets. But thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful, if he had known that the sales of "Resident Evil" would be so hot, he should have stocked up on five or six thousand sets in one go, and he wouldn't be in a hurry now!

Ryunosuke stood in his office and groaned for a moment, deciding to change the number of salesmen from the current eight to six to be on the safe side, so that the sales could be slowed down. If there is an accident on the way to delivery, it will take some time to delay. Otherwise, once the surplus goods are sold out and the trucks are not delivered at the right time, hundreds of people outside will not blow up the nest!

Uda Nakashi answered a phone call, and his face was "revealed" with an ecstatic look.

"Fang Jun, good news, from the beginning of the release of "Resident Evil" to the present, the daily sales of Saturn's console in Japan have increased by 60%!" Yu Tian Zhong put down the phone, it was difficult to suppress the "excited" mood, and he couldn't help but hold Fang Mingyuan's hand and said in a forced voice.

"Sixty percent!" Shinji Mikami also opened his mouth in surprise, it was just close to noon until now, and this increase rate was quite amazing! If it were counted all day, wouldn't it be 100% undoubtedly broken!

Before Uda Zhong's voice fell, Shinji Mikami's mobile phone rang.

Shinji Mikami picked it up and said, "Hey, it's me, Mikami." Ah, you say, you say...... What the? You repeat! Shinji Mikami's voice suddenly raised an octave.

"Master!" The young "female" waiter not far away hurriedly walked over and said.

Shinji Mikami, who looked incredulous, couldn't care about this much at this time. "Are you sure there is no error in the numbers? Good, good, that's great! ”

Shinji Mikami, who received the call, was already smiling like a 'flower', and said to Fang Mingyuan in a low voice: "Fang Jun, the sales of "Resident Evil" have exceeded one million sets in Japan so far! You are so visionary! ”

"A million sets!" Uda Nakashi gasped, based on 8,888 yen for a set of games, the sales of "Resident Evil" have approached 9 billion yen, which is quite a terrible number, and in the history of Japanese games, it is definitely among the best in the list of first release day sales!

And what's even more terrifying is that now the time of the day is only one-third, and there are almost thirteen hours until 12 o'clock at midnight, if it continues to sell at this rate, the daily sales of "Resident Evil" will reach 3 million units, 27 billion yen!

Uda Zhong felt that his heart was beating a little too fast......
