Chapter 060: Online Games
After Managing Director Park and his subordinates left, Miyazaki Ryui asked Kishimoto Masayoshi with suspicion in his heart, “Boss, if they don’t agree to give up 40% of their shares, what should we do?”
“Who told you that I have to have 40% of the shares of the Korean NEXON computer game company?” Justice Kishimoto laughed a little in response.
“Wasn’t it you who personally told them that?” Miyazaki Ryui said in disbelief.
“Even though it was me who said it, it doesn’t mean that they will definitely give me that much. However, I know that their bottom line is to give up 20% of their shares.
They originally thought that we wouldn’t be able to eat that much, but they didn’t expect that we wouldn’t have enough. If we had fought for more, we would have been able to have around 30%, guaranteed.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said honestly.
Miyazaki Ryui became more and more confused when he saw how confident his boss was. It was completely difficult for him to understand why his boss was so obsessed with investing in Korean game companies, “Boss, if you like investing in the video game industry, then wouldn’t investing in your own country be the end of the story? We are far ahead of the world in this area. Why bother seeking farther away from home?”
Masayoshi Kishimoto’s right hand index finger was waving left and right toward him and said, “When it comes to video games, I know better than you do.RB Nintendo and other gaming companies’ main business and direction of operation are still stuck on the console games.
Whether it’s the NCsoft online game company that I invested in earlier, or the NEXON computer game company that’s in the middle of business negotiations now, their main business direction is placed on online games.
Online games are the major direction of future market development, as well as a high profit growth industry. If they don’t get the follow-up R&D funding support, the current project will be shelved.
It’s like building a house, if you don’t finish building the house, then it’s a rotten building and you can’t sell it. Even if the development of an online game is completed, it still needs to undergo all kinds of tests before it is brought to the market.”
Justice Kishimoto knew it all, if the test results of an MMO made some important indicators not up to standard, it would be snowed under the banner of going back to the drawing board and redoing it.
The most typical example was Blizzard’s Titan. In addition, even if a few tests meet the standard, but also need a large sum of money to follow up the publicity and development of the above investment.
Of course, you can also find an agency to represent. However, this all belongs to the operation of the overseas market. In the scope of the country, generally by the network game development company to personally agent.
Online games have high profits but also high risks. As far as Masayoshi Kishimoto knows, there are two to three hundred computer client online games that are introduced to the market every year in the later Chinese mainland.
Which can really fire up the network game, can be said to be rare. Not hot, does not mean that it is not doing well. Their memory is still fresh is the penguin’s a “god of war” network game in the early stage is a work of conscience.
It’s all the demons gathered that an opening epic CG, not only won a lot of awards, and after many years to look again, is still very well done, not at all out of date.
Furthermore, the content of the script of “God of War” is a very good interpretation of one of the essences of the classical Chinese culture “Journey to the West” in another way, the resistance of demons against all kinds of oppression by the gods.
God of War” to Imho’s novel “Legend of the Wukong” as the background blueprint, the game plot original presentation of the novel’s infectious.
For many, it is just quite sadistic. Piggy’s helpless line, I have become a pig, why do you still have to be bitter?
Sun Wukong’s hysterical line is, you guys lied to me. The obsession that Sha He Shang can’t let go of is, I want to go back.
Penguin has put a lot of money into “God of War”. The theme song is sung by Eason Chan, and the lyrics are adapted by Lin Xi from the theme song of the CCTV 86 version of “Journey to the West”, “Dare to Ask Where the Road Leads”.
Masayoshi Kishimoto’s favorite line of the song is “Because of the enlightenment to take off the robe”. However, “Fighting God” in the end or because the project failed, completely cool.
Their project team also mocked Pang Long “brothers hug a little” is adapted to make a video, some people into the mental hospital, some people go to sea to shoot pornography, some people become a nightclub lady ……
I also remember the song among the line, five years of hard work to do what, not as good as the sword spirit one day which. This can be seen, “Sword Spirit” peak time is fire to what degree?
The “Sword Spirit” is a large-scale 3D MMORPG online game developed by NCsoft online game company. Penguin paid a small price for the failure of the “God of War” project.
So, one of the best representations of the counter-evidence of the old saying that Penguin has always copied and never been surpassed is its God of War.
Penguin in order to be able to learn to Capcom, that is, the card bitch in the game action sense of technology above, before and after the other party has been fooled a number of times, but also do not change the original intention, the purpose is still thinking of making not only from the market above the money, but also to earn the reputation of the domestic good game.
In addition, a large network game life expectancy of an average of two, three years or three, five years. Like “Fantasy Westward Journey”, “World of Warcraft”, “Swordsman Romance III” and other large-scale online games are extremely few exceptions.
Among the two or three hundred online games every year, there is never a lack of “one-day tour” kind. There are many even “one-day tour” of the opportunity to die in the womb, resulting in a lot of research and development of large and small game companies are directly bankruptcy and closure of countless.
Miyazaki Longjing silent for a long time said: “Listen to you say so, I am even more confused. I can’t believe that there are no companies in the entire RB that can make good online games.”
Justice Kishimoto laughed, although he knew that the later Final Fantasy 14 was good and able to make money, but it was also the result of losing from the early bad games and then through a change of command.
Not to mention the fact that the company of Shiqvier Enix will take the initiative to come to find themselves to talk about financing matters? Even in the future, ShiKeWei Ainix company really took the initiative to find their own, but also is not a good option investment project, after all, did not realize the input and output of the profit maximization.
Furthermore, it was the Magic Baby that Enix had developed in 2002, which was likewise not a good investment to enter its company.
Its corporate culture had long since taken shape, and was even in contradiction and conflict with the one it was trying to create. In the future, there would be another merger between SKW and Enix.
However, after this reminder from Miyazaki Ryui, he put away the smile on his face and immediately thought of Stone Age, which RBJSS was embarking on.
This granddaddy online game was not hot in RB, but it was exceptionally hot in Taiwan, and mainland China in turn. It operated in 1999 in RB, 2000 in Taiwan, and 2001 in mainland China.
