Chapter 737 The puzzling takeover

736

Tetris, this is also a classic old IP of Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

Later, this work was successfully included in the international classic design directory.

Other games may have room for continuous evolution in the gameplay.

But the game of Tetris really starts with a blast.

To the later Tetris games, it is just adding some special effects on the basis of the original game rules, or some more stylized styles.

It is difficult to optimize the gameplay.

In the original world of Zhuyouxing, Tetris is also a classic. If the Tetris built into the game console is also included, the total game sales of Tetris in the previous life can reach more than 500 million copies.

is twice as much as the second-ranked Minecraft.

And don't look at the simple rules of Tetris, and it seems that the game has been released in this world for more than ten years, but it is still enduring.

According to the current online statistics, there are as many as one million online players playing Tetris on game consoles, handhelds, and PC Battle.net platforms at the same time.

If Zhuyouxing really wants to use this game to make money, he can make a lot of money just by moving out the routine of buying and selling skins.

The popularity of Tetris in this world is no less than that of games such as matchmaking in the original world.

Those who want to buy the copyright of this game really have a good vision.

Zhu Yuxing said: "The other party wants to buy the copyright of Tetris, but is unwilling to say his name, so it seems that it has something to do with us. I think you should also directly reject this purchase request, right? "

Assistant    nodded: "Yes, but I feel that this is a rather special thing. I think I should report it to you, President."

Take Yuxing thought for a while and said, "Find a way to find out who wants to buy it. I'm really curious about who the person who wants to buy Tetris is."

"OK."

In the afternoon of the same day, the assistant dug up the information of the person who wanted to buy.

Maybe the other party didn't really hide it, but didn't want to say it at first, so Youxing Electronic Entertainment just used a little trick to find the buyer's information.

"Mickford wants to buy Tetris?"

Hearing that the person who wants to buy the copyright of Tetris is Mickford, this is really beyond Zhu Yuxing's expectations.

Mickford has always been unfamiliar with video games in the past. Of course, his operating system must inevitably have the existence of video games. Even if Mickford also made some profits from it, they still didn't want to admit that electronic games were stubborn. Games, Zhu Youxing is quite aware of this. The owner Myron Case was forced to kick out the Hongguo Company he founded because of the video game industry. Now he naturally has some prejudices about video games.

But it is really surprising that such a prejudiced person would actively want to buy Tetris.

"President, when we found each other's information, the other party didn't hide it, but left us another sentence."

"What?"

"Smartphones have become popular, and console games and handheld games will gradually decline. He suggested that we think about stopping losses in time and stop sticking to the video game industry."

The assistant    also showed a mocking expression when he said this.

This kind of remark is very provocative, so provocative that even her assistant finds it a little funny.

How can you say that video games will gradually decline?

Obviously it is impossible for a layman to fully understand the video game itself.

Take Yuxing didn't feel much funny about this sentence, but felt that the feeling of deja vu came again.

Yu Nagao, the owner of YOO, said the same thing at the beginning, and also claimed to spend huge sums of money to acquire Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, but in the end he couldn't solve it by himself, and was directly stabbed by the Japanese chaebol class. He is serving his sentence in a high-level prison in Japan.

However, Nagao Yu is more like a clown-like character, and Mikford's current CEO Myron Keyes is different.

After coming to this world, Take Yusei felt that this guy had many similarities with Jobs in the original world.

He has enough proud capital, he also has strict requirements for products, and the products he produces have indeed attracted the attention of the public.

And more importantly, now Myron Keyes is in his prime, with unlimited energy, but without the sick body that Jobs later had.

Myron Keyes can still work hard for at least 20 or 30 years now.

So Zhu Yuxing regarded him as a very threatening figure a long time ago, so he will make arrangements in advance, let Facebook develop smartphones in advance, and compete with Myron Keith.

And a reasonable enough person like Myron Keyes should not be dizzy and come up with something like buying game copyrights on his own.

This is really confusing.

Bamboo Yusei could not have imagined that Myron Keith himself was interested in Tetris because of his interest and love, and completely used public funds to satisfy his own consumption.

But Tetris is really worth $100 million.

If this copyright is a little more exaggerated, it is not impossible to open a price of one billion US dollars.

"President, should we reply with some mocking words? Let him stop buying it?"

Zhu Yuxing said: "This... but it doesn't need to be. Anyway, we definitely won't sell it, but there is no need to reply to the other party."

Although I don’t understand the reason why Myron Keys suddenly wanted to acquire the copyright of Tetris with an abnormal brain circuit, it can be seen from this acquisition attempt that the smartphone industry is indeed developing very well.

Myron Keyes also has enough spare money to buy the rights to a game.

The market is gradually being dominated by Myron Case.

Zhu Yuxing put down the game development work at hand, and then said to his assistant: "Help me count the sales performance of us, Suri Electronics and other relatively small handheld game console production companies. I want to see where the market share is now.”

"President, our handheld business is very small now, do you need detailed data?"

"Yes, I want an accurate data to prove my guess."

"I understand."

After   , the assistant left again.

Then two days later, the assistant prepared all the materials that Zhu Yuxing needed.

These data are the sales results of several manufacturers that are still producing handhelds.

In addition to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment itself, the sales performance of other such manufacturers can be easily obtained.

Because they are all listed companies, they need to regularly disclose their current sales performance and the company's overall development plan to shareholders and the public.

Looking at these report data, Zhu Yuxing vaguely returned to the time when he was still a social animal in the original world.

At that time, what I saw the most was code and tables.
