Say Yes To Making Bad Games, What the Hell is Titanfall? Chapter 386

Chapter 386 Dragon Head

Seeing the name of the caller, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.

Then he made a silent gesture, connected the phone, and turned on the speakerphone.

"Hello, Chairman Jiang."

Gu Sheng said hello in a relaxed tone, not at all solemn as in the meeting just now.

On the opposite side, Jiang Yingcai's voice came out:

"Hey, Mr. Gu, I didn't disturb you, did I?"

"No, no, haha,"

Gu Sheng smiled:

"What instructions does Chairman Jiang have?"

"Hey - where can I talk about instructions, hahaha,"

Jiang Yingcai also knew that Gu Sheng was joking and laughed, then paused and said:

"But there is indeed something I want to talk to you about today."

coming.

Hearing this, Gu Sheng's spirit was shaken, and all the Golden Wind executives present also straightened their bodies and concentrated their attention.

Everyone knows what the sudden call from China Entertainment Electronics means at this time.

Admittedly, Vice President Moritani is indeed well-informed. Even though he has left Comella for a long time, he can still get information about the price adjustment of Fantasy.

However, as the only semi-official leading organization in China, it is not difficult for Huayidian to grasp similar information.

Jiang Yingcai usually wouldn't disturb them if nothing happened.

A typical example of going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.

But now, just at this moment, Jiang Yingcai called.

What to say is naturally self-evident.

Gu Sheng nodded: "Chairman Jiang, please speak."

"Well...where should I start..."

After groaning, Jiang Yingcai thought for a moment and spoke slowly:

"That's right, Mr. Gu, I don't know if you have heard any news about the price adjustment of the American Fantasy Engine Company recently."

"Well, I heard some rumors,"

Gu Sheng's answer was a bit ambiguous, and he wanted to hear what Jiang Yingcai knew about the situation:

"But it's not quite accurate. Chairman Jiang, you know that. I'm generally not very interested in this kind of gossip, so... is it true?"

"Hehehe, um-"

Hearing this, Jiang Yingcai on the phone gave a wry smile:

"Mr. Gu, the news this time is really not the rumors in the past. According to what we have learned, this time, Huanmeng's price adjustment policy can be said to be finalized..."

Said.

Jiang Yingcai told Gu Sheng exactly what he had learned.

It's basically the same information as what Moritani heard.

In other words, Huanmeng has already made a final decision on this price adjustment, and it is imperative.

Their golden wind, and even the neck of the entire Chinese game industry, is stuck.

“…and the impact doesn't stop there,”

Jiang Yingcai said:

"You must know that this time Huanmeng's differentiated treatment targets 'all companies registered in China,'"

"You may not know it well, but over the years, as Chinese game companies headed by your Golden Wind have emerged in the world, our market environment can be said to be getting better and better,"

"Not only our own companies, such as Yiyou, Nuyan, Tianlang, etc., are making rapid progress internationally,"

“The development of the market and the tilt of policies have also attracted the favor of investors from many other countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia, and even Qatar in West Asia, who have participated or are preparing to participate in our development to a certain extent. Come in,"

"but,"

"With the news now leaking out, many interested investment groups have chosen to wait and see,"

"Not only the gaming industry, but also some related high-tech industries are also worried about being affected and have postponed the pace of registered investment,"

"The superiors are now paying more attention to this situation,"

"And as your flagship company, Golden Wind, I don't need to say more about its position or weight, right?"

Hear this!

Gu Sheng took a slow breath.

Jiang Yingcai's words were obviously something he had not thought of just now.

indeed.

Today's Golden Wind is no longer the small workshop with "more than a dozen people and seven or eight guns" back then.

As someone who has been featured in China Daily for the fourth time and has been hailed by the official as "representatives of emerging national enterprises", they are now shouldering not only their own profit and loss, but also social responsibilities.

This is inevitable.

The so-called rights and obligations are complementary to each other.

Since they enjoy the rights that the flagship leader deserves, they should naturally fulfill their obligations.

Although speaking of it, it is a bit outrageous, and even a bit unbelievable, that a company with a current volume of less than 10 billion has become the industry's flagship leader.

But it is what it is.

otherwise!

Yunwei Vivendi, who supports Huanmeng behind the scenes, why didn't they impose sanctions sooner rather than later? But after Golden Wind launched the first “Call of Duty”, which can be called the flagship milestone of the next era of FPS, they, and even the entire Will China's game industry implement differentiated sanctions?

It is clear.

This matter is directed at their golden wind!

This doesn't just mean that Yunwei covets those priceless IPs in their hands!

It also means that the capital organization with Vivendi as its core will not allow China to rise in this rapidly developing industry.

China's game market is too big, but now, this market, which should have been left to them to take and take, is deviating from its "positioning."

This point, not to mention game sales, can be seen just from the market share of the somatosensory cabin -

Three years ago, when Golden Wind was founded, the somatosensory cabins owned by two comprehensive gaming giants, Yunwei and Comella, accounted for 52% of the total market share in Chinese junior high schools.

As of now, three and a half years after Golden Wind was established, the domestic market share of the two domestic somatosensory cabins, Yiyou and Xunteng, has reached an astonishing 68%!

In less than four years, the two major international giants have been defeated one after another, and their market share has also shrunk.

From the beginning, they deserved half of the world, but now, with the two together, they can barely hold a third of the world with Yiyou and Xunteng.

Such continued downturn and shrinkage are absolutely unacceptable to them.

As for games.

Not to mention.

Kamikoshi Kagemasa didn't want to talk, and neither did Kaunik. And find out the reason.

Everything is inseparable from the golden wind.

China's industry must be suppressed, and the golden wind must die.

This is the fundamental purpose of this fantasy price adjustment strategy.

Speaking of this, Jiang Yingcai said:

"And as the flagship leader of China..."

"...This seat should be given to you two. Come and take a seat, Director Shen."

"...That's right, Mr. Gu and I are not outsiders here today. You're welcome. Come and sit down."

The next day!

Regarding this matter, China Entertainment Electronics took the lead and organized a private meeting.

Participants include not only heavyweight manufacturers such as Yiyou and Xunteng.

Medium-sized manufacturers such as Jiahua Games, Phantom Technology, Qunfeng Technology, and Gale Studios also sent representatives from their respective companies to participate.

At the top of the large conference table are naturally the current Chairman of China Entertainment Television, Jiang Yingcai, and Vice Chairman Zheng Yingzi.

Opposite the main seat, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao were being "held hostage" by Yan Sheng and Chen Guangde to sit down.

It stands to reason that this is the first place for manufacturer representatives. If it were placed in the past, this position must have been that of Yiyou and Xunteng. The two largest comprehensive game companies in China sit here, which can be said to be their duty.

But now.

As soon as they arrived at the venue, Chen Guangde and Yan Sheng seemed to have agreed upon it, and they took Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao, who were attending the meeting, to the first seat.

It made the Gu couple look like they were wearing yellow robes.

"Why-"

Gu Sheng was forced to sit down by Chen Guangde, looked at little Nezha next to him, shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"Let me take this seat, Mr. Chen and Mr. Yan, you have really caused me harm..."

"It's called the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility,"

Yan Sheng laughed and said:

"Director Shen, Mr. Gu, this matter is not trivial. Even the upper management attaches great importance to it. Neither I nor Lao Chen is suitable to sit in this position."

"Yep,"

Chen Guangde also nodded repeatedly:

"Now that our brothers in China are able to take charge domestically and gain a firm foothold internationally, we all know where our confidence comes from and what we rely on. Mr. Gu and Director Shen, please stop trying to shirk it. , we focus on solving problems.”

Here, the two major manufacturers are saying this, and on the side, medium-sized manufacturers such as Phantom Technology and Gale Studio also follow suit:

"Yes, Mr. Gu, now everyone has no idea, they all want a backbone."

"That's right, this time their fantasy went too far. They are obviously coming for us. Mr. Gu, you need to make a decision."

"Mr. Chen is right. We are all here to solve problems. Don't worry about this position, Director Shen. Just sit still."

"Indeed, you can sit still, you can sit still..."

Under the gushing tongue!

Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao looked at each other and nodded in acquiescence, taking their seats as the leader of the manufacturer.

Then, not long after, with the two presidents Jiang Yingcai and Zheng Yingzi in place, the meeting began.

Since today's meeting was not a formal public meeting, Jiang Yingcai didn't have too many opening remarks at the beginning. He just went straight to the point and talked about the current situation first.

"…no doubt,"

Jiang Yingcai said:

"The current situation, in the words of the leader, is urgent."

Hearing this, all the manufacturer representatives shrank their necks.

Everyone knows what level Jiang Yingcai refers to as "leader".

And the top leaders have already used the term "urgent", which is enough to prove how seriously the above-mentioned people take this situation.

“So, the most urgent priority now is to break the shackles, break through the blockade, and embark on a new path of independent research and development in China in the shortest possible time. This is not only related to the life and death of our own emerging industries, but also attracts investment. The best opportunity to show the speed of our country, "

With that said, Jiang Yingcai raised his eyes from his conference book and looked at the manufacturer representatives present:

"Now I want to know, among the manufacturers here, which one has self-developed engine technology?"

As soon as this statement came out.

Representatives, look at me and I look at you.

In the end, only Chen Guangde raised his hand:

"We have…"

As the only company in the field with self-developed engines.

Logically speaking, Chen Guangde should be extremely proud at this time.

But in fact, not only was there no pride on his face now, but he was actually a little embarrassed.

Because their engine...

It has not been updated for almost 800 years.

Yes.

"FireWire" developed by Tianlang Studio uses the shimmer engine developed by the Xunteng team.

but!

This engine has been around almost ten years ago, and it is the "ancestral engine" of the Xunteng family.

Moreover, because players have always paid for FireWire Shuttle even if the engine has not been updated, so in order to save trouble, during the subsequent process of transplanting the somatosensory cabin of FireWire Shuttle, the engine was also transplanted to the somatosensory cabin end, making it easier for them to save money. copy.

As for the plan to update the engine, it was delayed again and again, so that no one mentioned updating the engine anymore.

This!

It is actually the only self-developed engine currently in the hands of many game manufacturers in China.

"Um…"

Hearing this, Jiang Yingcai nodded, waved his hand towards Chen Guangde, and turned his gaze to Gu Sheng, who was frowning in thought:

"Mr. Gu, do you have any ideas?"
