Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 616 The pattern of the world game industry

Due to the time difference, when the plane arrived in Xiangjiang, it was only 7:20 in the morning. When Xia Yu came out of the passage, he saw He Chaoqiong who was looking forward to the queue in front of the convoy. Seeing Xia Yu coming out, He Chaoqiong completely abandoned the girl's restraint. , galloping towards Xia Yu with joy.

Li Qian subconsciously took the things in Xia Yu's hand and gave Xia Yu a smile. Xia Yu quickly walked towards He Chaoqiong, hugged her who was rushing over, and turned around in circles where the pink skirt was Fluttering in the air.

"Chaoqiong, why are you here? It's only after 7 o'clock, how often did you get up?"

He Chaoqiong's face was full of joy, she looked at Xia Yu with love, and said sweetly, "I knew you were coming back today, how could I sleep last night, I miss you so much."

After he finished speaking, the red lips lightly tapped, and the joy was revealed on the surface.

"I miss you too."

The girl's heartfelt love touched Xia Yu's heart, hugged her tightly, and said softly.

After a brief warm-up, He Chaoqiong calmed down and observed the surroundings with his thoughts.

When he saw Li Qian standing by and looking at him with a beaming smile, He Chaoqiong blushed, struggling to get off Xia Yu, and whispered, "Sister."

Li Qian responded with a smile, then took a small gift box from the bag and presented it to He Chaoqiong, and said softly, "Sister, this is a gift I brought back from London for you, I hope you like it."

"Thank you sister..."

Seeing that the two women are in a good relationship, Xia Yu smiled.

Looking around, his subordinates all looked at him with interest, but many people who just got off the plane looked at him, and some even recognized him.

Xia Yu realized that it was not good to stay here, so he said to Li Qian and He Chaoqiong: "Xian Qian, Chaoqiong, there are too many people here, let's go home first."

"Uh-huh!"

"Listen to you!"

Then, Xia Yu said to Liu Xiao and others, "You guys should go home first. You haven't been home for more than half a year. Go home to accompany your family, and go back to the company for a meeting in three days."

"The cars are coming, let them take you to the door."

"thank you boss!"

Liu Xiao and others were excited and thanked them in unison.

Afterwards, everyone got into the car and split into two groups at the intersection. Xia Yu took Li Qian and He Chaoqiong back to the villa that belonged to him and his woman alone.

It was not until the afternoon that Xia Yu went home to reunite with his family.

The next day, I officially started work, dealing with the things accumulated after leaving Xiangjiang for a few months.

Although the chairman's office headed by Huo Jianning is cooperating in handling things, Huo Jianning contacts him through international long distance, and the remote command ensures the normal operation of many of its companies.

But there are some jobs that are really hard to articulate on the phone and hard to handle, so they can only be piled up until now.

After processing the documents for an hour, Xia Yu relaxed and asked Li Qian to call Huo Jianning over and ask him to bring the investigation materials of the video game industry.

"Chairman, this is what I have collected about the video game industry!"

As soon as Huo Jianning came in, he presented a thick stack of documents to Xia Yu, and then waited quietly.

Seeing such a thick stack, Xia Yu was very satisfied, not to mention other things, just looking at the appearance, you can tell that Huo Jianning's work has been done very solidly.

Realizing that it would take at least a few hours, Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning to continue to work, while he read it.

Drinking tea, looking at materials, time flies.

Finally, after reading the last page, Xia Yu rubbed his sour eyes, and already had a detailed picture of the global video game industry market in his mind.

At this time in the world video game industry, there are three types of games, namely computer games, console games and arcade games.

The first type of computer game, as the name suggests, is a game played on a computer. Yes, in 1979, there were already computer games.

But the key is that although the computers in the world are computers, in fact, most of them are game consoles. They are sold like TVs. Although there are some computer functions in them, the most important purpose for customers to buy them is to play simple games on the computer.

Xia Yu remembered that it was not until 1981 that IBM launched the world's first real personal computer.

Therefore, the computers before this could not be popularized in a large area at all, and the limitations were very large.

Due to factors such as the price and functional limitations of computers, the market for computer games is still relatively small at this time, and game giants generally give up and leave it to those small game companies that specialize in developing computer games.

The second type of console games, also known as home game consoles and video games, is a huge market. Think about the huge number of TVs in the world, and you can see its huge market.

This market is also the most competitive market. Among them, the most famous is Atari Corporation of the United States, the overlord of the world game industry. In 1977 alone, it invested more than 100 million US dollars to research a game. Game console - Atari2600.

In addition to Atari, there are also some companies on the second front, such as Sega, Nintendo, Nangong Dream, etc.

The third type of arcade game, the competition is also quite fierce, but now Taidong company is leading the way, smashing all arcade game companies in the world.

Taidong Company is an import and export company established in 1950 by Ukrainian Jew Michael Kegang. Taidong means "Far East Jewish Company". Its main business is to sell vodka imported from the Soviet Union in the island country.

In an unexpected situation, Taidong entered the video game market.

Just last year, Taidong Company developed the arcade game "Space Invaders", which became a hit. It sold more than 150,000 units in the US market alone in one year, plus the sales in Europe and island countries. More than 200,000 units, the total sales exceeded 500 million US dollars, and the net profit exceeded 100 million US dollars.

This year, "Space Invaders" is still popular, grabbing a steady stream of wealth for Taidong Company.

In the arcade market, under the Taidong Company, is the Sega Company.

In the impression, Xia Yu thought that Sega, one of the four giants of the console game industry in later generations, was a company from an island country. After reading the information, he realized that this was not the case at this time.

At this time, Sega was still an American company.

Sega was founded by American soldier David Rosen who retreated to the island country from the 38th parallel. At first, relying on his relationship in the army, he sold entertainment equipment such as slot machines and pinball machines to the army to relieve the boredom of the soldiers at the US military base. .

Later, David Rosen felt that when the profit of the second-hand dealer was not large enough, he developed an explosive pinball machine called "Periscope", which sold well in the island countries, and sent it to the United States, and then registered the American Sega Company in the United States. , holding the island nation Sega Corporation.

Then in 1966, David Rosen sold Sega of America to American Overseas and Western Industries, a business in "entertainment and mass media."

With the power of overseas and Western industrial companies, Sega's sales channels in the United States are well established.

It's a pity that after Taidong Company's "Space Invaders" came out, the island country Sega was in a dilemma. At this time, the business situation was not good, and there were signs of the US overseas and Western industrial companies.

In addition to Taidong Company and Sega Company, another famous company in the arcade market is Nangong Dream Games. This company only entered the video game industry in 1974 and developed several arcade games. In "Space Invaders" Before it appeared, the sales were good, but now the business is a little worse, and it is stepping up the development of new games, hoping to break the domination of "Space Invaders".

As for Sony, the hegemon of the game industry in later generations, it did not set foot in the video game industry at this time.

According to the survey report, it can be known at this time that the world video game industry pattern is divided into three levels.

The first level is the two giants, Taidong in the arcade game market and Atari in the console game market.

The second level is Sega, Nintendo, and Nangong Dream.

The third level is other video game companies.
