Chapter 285 Industry Doubts
About the fact that Youxing Electronic Entertainment did not make games and suddenly switched to special effects production for film and television, it was already known by many video game industry companies almost the night after the banquet.
Youxing Electronic Entertainment is currently the king of video games, and no one can surpass their market share.
Japan's market share was over 90% at one time, and it also reached over 80% market share in the United States.
And this company is only controlled by one person. According to estimates, the cash flow is very healthy. As long as there are no unexpected events, the company can develop rapidly for at least a few years.
But in the current environment of very fierce competition, Youxing Electronic Entertainment suddenly started a side business, but made little progress in its own host business.
In two or three years, only an upgraded version of the GB handheld has been launched, which has upgraded the original black and white screen to a color one, and that's it.
Then it is to continue to develop games on SFC and FC and GB handhelds.
In addition to the sudden launch of a blockbuster Doom this year, there is no other idea of entering the 3D field, which makes many companies a little bit confused.
But now seeing Yuxing Electronic Entertainment developing the engine, they suddenly seem to understand.
It seems that Youxing Electronic Entertainment has also encountered a bottleneck in its development. Facing the field of 3D graphics games, they are somewhat withdrawn and dare not rashly enter this new field. Doom is just testing the waters.
Obviously, the company is getting bigger and bigger, and the boss of this company is becoming more and more conservative, not as aggressive as before.
Obviously this is a good opportunity. For them, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is like an insurmountable mountain in front of them.
They can always have many advanced game concepts, which impact everyone's understanding of the game again and again.
The games of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment are not only fun, but also a game textbook for game practitioners. As long as they are produced according to the development direction of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's games, at least there will be no major problems.
It’s just that he has been following his **** to make games, and there will never be a big breakthrough, let alone surpassing Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
And now, Yuxing Electronic Entertainment wants to stay within the scope of 2D games and earn money, so they can take the opportunity to develop 3D games.
There are still many types of 3D games that have not yet been developed.
If any of them can develop it and sell well, then they will also leave their mark in the history of video games.
Many companies have begun to act, they are recruiting quickly, recruiting those who are capable, setting up new studios, and developing new 3D game types.
Driven by this, the PN2 game console on sale has also ushered in a small rise.
The Lierda 3600 that Lierda is expected to develop will also take the opportunity to announce the sales date and price, and it will be officially released in 1997, which is Christmas Eve this year. At the same time, the game console will also come with more than three 3D models. Graphically-produced games, as well as more than five first-release games, look aggressive and want to seize the market quickly while the development of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is stagnant.
In the industry, most of them also expressed their incomprehension of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's decision.
Obviously they have sufficient funds and excellent games. As long as they develop a game console that can run 3D graphics, they will definitely continue to have a huge market with their previous popularity.
In the end, they also concluded that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment should be in a bottleneck.
There are quite a lot of companies like this. There are too many companies in the world that are a blockbuster at the beginning, but in the end they are nothing.
There are very few companies that can truly thrive.
…
During this time, Zhu Yuxing occasionally received some invitations.
Most of these invitations were sent by large investment institutions in the United States and chaebols in Japan.
They hope to talk to Take Yusei.
Apparently, they were also looking for an opportunity. Seeing that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment seemed to be going downhill, they wanted to try if they could take the opportunity to invest in a stock or something.
But for this kind of invitation, Zhu Yuxing refused all and completely ignored it.
These investors are all those who open umbrellas in sunny days and collect umbrellas in rainy days. Now they are just looking at a downward trend on their own side and want to invest some money in, and then intervene in the company's control.
Some laymen or some game companies do not understand the operation of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
However, investment institutions will think that this is only temporary. Youxing Electronic Entertainment already has a very large user group. The combined user groups in the United States and Japan are now estimated to be at least about 30 million.
And it is the most stable 30 million user group.
Such a huge user group can make money from everything, and treat users as leeks.
It’s just that Youxing Electronic Entertainment did not do this, but kept its original intention and insisted on making high-quality games.
What the investment institutions want is to get involved in the Youxing Electronic Entertainment Company, and then use the user group to make a fortune.
It is a pity for them that Zhuyouxing oil and salt do not enter.
The only third-party shareholder of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, Fujii, the executive director of the Japanese economic news newspaper, because of what happened during this time, he also specially called Zhu Yuxing and asked with great concern. Condition of Take Yusei.
This Fujii is a good friend of Zhu Yuxing's father. He has always had a good relationship. After he made a lot of money by investing in Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, he also admired this young man very much.
If he had a daughter in his family, he would not hesitate to let her marry Zhu Yuxing.
Fujii does not understand the situation of the video game industry, but he is very concerned about the dynamics of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.
He wants to confirm what Zhu Yuxing thinks. If he continues to stick to his position and does not seek new development and breakthroughs, he can also see that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment will gradually fall behind.
Obviously such a big advantage, we should try to consolidate it.
Regarding the other party's concerns and worries, Zhu Yuxing just smiled and assured the other party that he knew what he had in mind, that he had already made long-term plans, and this stage is only temporary.
How to say that Fujii is also the only third-party shareholder, and he is also a person who helped him a lot at the beginning of his business, so Take Yuxing must at least assure the other party that everything he does is purposeful, so that the other party can feel at ease.
Hearing Zhu Yuxing's assurance, although Zhu Yuxing is very young, it still gives people a very reassuring feeling.
All his investment projects have ended in failure recently, and he has lost a lot of money. Only Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is developing positively, and it is often doubled. He really does not want his only successful investment to end up in the end. also failed.
