Chapter 1072 The Source of Effort
"Super Mario Bros." is actually a game suitable for both men and women.
But to be honest, boys like it very much, but many of them cannot be obsessed with it.
Because it is still a bit too gentle. Although it is thrilling to pass through the levels, it is not exciting enough.
However, "Super Mario Bros." is full of fun in the eyes of girls, and it is one of the few video games that they can also play.
Well, another game that is loved by men, women and children is naturally "Tetris". It is a more inclusive and longer-lasting super classic game.
"Contra" is different.
Girls definitely don't like to play this game, because it is a shooting game. You can kill bunkers, flying saucers, enemies, enemy lairs, etc. along the way. You can kill six generals after passing five levels. It's a joy to kill.
However, as long as they are normal boys, they will definitely like this kind of game, because it is passionate and refreshing enough.
Fighting and killing games, just like martial arts movies, always attract people's attention and give boys greater sensory stimulation.
So, even if girls don't like "Contra". But "Contra" will definitely surpass "Super Mario Bros." in popularity among boys aged 6-24.
With "Super Mario Bros.", Nintendo will definitely develop by leaps and bounds.
If Yin Jun does not give "Contra" a game of sufficient weight to the Sega Alliance, I am afraid that the three of them together will not be able to compete with Nintendo.
How could Yin Jun allow Nintendo to dominate?
Business is business. He could sell the copyright of "Super Mario Bros." to Nintendo based on profit considerations, but in Yin Jun's mind, a dominant Nintendo was definitely not in the interests of Kirin Games.
Therefore, the growth of the Sega Alliance is necessary and inevitable.
Of course, on the other hand, Yin Jun never thought about dominating the game world. From beginning to end, his most important purpose in making games was actually the same as real estate, which was to give himself more money to do those things. Movies, TV series and the advanced technologies that support their development cost tens of millions.
The future pure film IMAX high-definition giant screen will be canceled by IMAX due to cost and return reasons, so "Interstellar" will become the last swan song.
This is a huge regret for people who really like movies.
Including Yin Jun thought so too.
If Yin Jun had money and people, could he save this technology?
Just like now, the IMAX company belongs to Yin Jun. What he has to do is not only strive to develop digital IMAX screen technology, but also continue to develop film IMAX technology to continuously reduce costs and improve the picture quality. Increase, the viewing effect increases.
To achieve such a goal, if you don't prepare for 3,578 years, and don't prepare for an ultra-high investment of 500 million, 1 billion or even 2 billion US dollars, how can you possibly succeed?
Is IMAX in your current generation willing to give up the film IMAX technology that they are famous for? Aren't you troubled by money?
Only if you have money can you avoid such regrets.
It is purely a dream to think that by making movies, TV series and variety shows, you can get enough money to support the technological dream that Yin Jun wants to realize.
Even the largest film and entertainment group in later generations, Disney, had a market value of only about US$200 billion at its peak, and one-third of its profits came from its theme parks and related peripheral products. The profits from movies and TV shows account for at most half.
Next, Time Warner is worth 70 billion U.S. dollars, and 21st Century Fox is worth 65 billion U.S. dollars. Together, they are not the first rival to Disney.
This is the value of the world's top entertainment media group.
But what if you look at technology companies?
The market value of any Alibaba Group exceeds US$200 billion.
There are also super groups such as Facbook, GOOGLE, Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Oracle, etc., with market values of 200 to 300 billion US dollars or even 500 to 600 billion US dollars!
Moreover, in terms of development space and profit appreciation, no matter how impressive the entertainment media group is, it will never be a match for these giants who have developed in the era of technology and the Internet.
Because technology companies cover all aspects of life, while entertainment media groups are only in entertainment media, and most of their companies have not developed their own film technology and have not consistently spent money to bring more myths and movies to life. Technology stories become reality.
It’s not that these entertainment and media giants are unwilling, but they really don’t have the money to burn.
Not to mention other things, look at how many Hollywood digital effects companies have closed down?
If it can survive for more than 5 years, it is super awesome!
The company in the digital field that Yin Jun bought was as brilliant as ever in later generations, but it went bankrupt just like that.
The only thing that really thrives in Hollywood is Industrial Light and Magic. This is thanks to Disney's support, otherwise it would be dragged down by the huge scale and expenditure.
Even a super entertainment media group like Disney with a market value of 200 billion US dollars can only support one Industrial Light and Magic, and they dare not let Industrial Light and Magic do it!
Think about it, with Yin Jun's ambition, how much money would it cost if he wanted to develop special effects?
Therefore, Yin Jun never planned to make enough money from movies, television and variety shows. He needed a lot of extra income to support his dream of an entertainment media group.
The video game industry, which was booming in the 1980s and 1990s, became a major source of income for Yin Jun to obtain cash flow.
The other is the real estate industry in Xiangjiang, which has created the top eight industries in the Chinese rich list and can also give Yin Jun a lot of support.
There is also the mobile phone industry that Yin Jun is actively involved in now, and the network communications industry that he will be involved in in the future. These will give Yin Jun a steady stream of huge funds, allowing him to spend as much as he wants on technical special effects.
Even the 7-11 Group, Disneyland, the iron ore industry... are all working hard towards this goal.
It can also be seen from this how much Yin Jun cares about his entertainment media group.
No wonder, he had deep regrets in his previous life. In this life, God finally gave him this opportunity. Of course, he would seize it and use all means to realize his dream.
The two games in front of him can not only bring Yin Jun at least 1 billion US dollars in cash flow, but also allow Yin Jun to make the handheld console that is popular around the world. Yin Jun can't help but sigh, the advantage of being one step ahead is really huge. Yes!
"Boom!"
The sound of knocking on the door woke Yin Jun out of his thoughts.
Entering with the secretary was Tomogo Nakata.
The successful sale of the copyright of "Super Mario Bros." has brought huge benefits to the Kirin Group. They, a group of Kirin Game Company staff, are of course very honored and have a great sense of pride. They are naturally full of energy and energy. It’s much more abundant, and I feel full of energy when I walk.
"Master Jun, I just heard that Satoru Okubo from Sega is here?" Nakata Tomo said impatiently as soon as he sat down, "Does he also want to get our game?"
Not long after Okubo Satoru left here, Nakata Tomohiro got the news. It seems that the Japanese also have gossip.
Yin Jun smiled and said, "Nintendo has taken a step ahead of them this time, so naturally they can't hold on. ... This is why your new mission has come, but it will be much harder than before. Are you confident that you can complete it?" "
"Of course!"
Nakata Tomogo responded energetically.
There are many factors that support a team's continuous struggle, but the most important are two points.
The first is honor, the second is money.
Kirin Game Company is now in no shortage of honors. "Hong Kong Cube" has made them famous all over the world. After the release of "Super Mario Bros.", it will shock the game industry around the world.
They are not short of money either. Yin Jun is a very generous person. "Xiangjiang Cube" gave them heavy prizes. Now that "Super Mario Bros." has been sold, their programmers and engineers each received 50 Rewards of more than 10,000 U.S. dollars, and starting from next year, salary bonuses will also reach a higher level.
Such salary rewards and honors are completely unavailable to them in Japan. Everyone is proud of their decision to come to Hong Kong from Japan.
In such a situation where things are getting better step by step, Nakata Tomoko and others certainly hope to continue their efforts, make good results, and create profits for themselves and the company-this is how the cohesion of a company is produced.
"Don't be too busy making promises so quickly." Yin Jun smiled and handed him the document. "From now on, Qilin Game Company is no longer what it used to be. You have more important tasks. From now on, a team will be dedicated to making games. , another team is going to make a handheld game console based on the patent we bought! The task is not easy!"
"I know, but we will definitely work hard!" Nakata Tomo stood up as soon as he took the document, bowed deeply and said: "Please rest assured, leave this task to us!"
How else can we say that everyone likes Japanese workers?
Honest, obedient, hard-working, and in this 80s, they are all very hardworking!
In the future, Chinese workers will also be world-class, but compared to Japanese workers in the 1980s, what they lack is discipline and the drive to work hard from the heart.
In this regard, I am afraid that only the Chinese workers in the 1950s and 1960s can compete with the Japanese workers of this era.
Tomohiro Nakata and the others are such hard-working people. Although their abilities may not be very good, they are full of energy and will never let Yin Jun worry.
Yin Jun asked him to sit down, and Nakata Tomohiro talked about his considerations these days: "Since we are going to make a handheld console, we need to go back to Japan to recruit engineers and designers. In the past few months, we have contacted us There are many talents in this field, and they all envy our treatment and working environment at Qilin Game Company. We also have many comparisons and records.
I plan to go back to Japan in the next two days to get in touch with them first. If they are capable and can endure hardship, then let them come to the company to give it a try first. In terms of the number of people, I think because we are starting from scratch, we can have a little more. About 30-40 people! With Nintendo’s technology patents, the development cycle will not be too long. "
"Not only those from Nintendo, but also those from Sega, Konami and Namco will be here soon." Yin Jun said, "So wait a few days before returning to Japan and get the technology for this piece first."
"Very good!!"
Nakata Tomogo was overjoyed. Good guy, Jun Shao is indeed Jun Shao. He has acquired all the technologies of the best video game companies in Japan in one fell swoop!
In this way, our chances of success will be greater!
really!
Following Mr. Jun to Xiangjiang was the wisest decision of my life, Tomohiro Nakata! !
