Reborn in another world as a game

Chapter 707 Fan Controversy; Tian Moyun's Another Backhand
Tian Moyun did not announce the sales of new products.

Combined, the two new products have sold 300 million units for the first time in the world... This achievement is really nothing to brag about.

If you compare it with [Thunder 1] and [Thunder 2], most of the netizens would think it was a hit.

Although it is indeed very overwhelming... But it also depends on the specific situation.

The sales of [Big Lotus] and [2nd Generation Handheld] are relatively mediocre, and the sales of the opposite [Shenguang 1st Generation] are even worse.

The reason why I chose not to announce the sales volume is another consideration.

Tian Moyun didn't intend to cheat on this kind of matter. If the sales volume was to be announced, it must be true, but not necessarily the other side.

Moreover, the current sales volume still cannot satisfy him.

Tian Moyun spent 10 billion US dollars for marketing and 50 billion US dollars for global long-term activities. The purpose is to completely crush the sales of [Big Lotus] rivals.

At least it must be surpassed by several times, so as to achieve the effect of beating the opponent.

……

After that, for several days in a row, the publicity of [Thunder Game] became more and more popular, and the cohesion of the players also rapidly heated up.

On the other hand, the old four families next door were very reluctant to deal with it, and they couldn't show the momentum and financial resources of the past overlords at all, and they seemed very desperate.

Fans of the old four are also particularly disappointed by this.

Although many "rational fans" understand the difficulties of the old four families and keep saying good things to them, they get nothing but "capital lackeys".

Difficulty?

Who will understand your difficulty?

We only see the attitude of the old four is perfunctory, completely disrespectful to the players, without any sincerity, and they might be laughed at if they are their fans, which is far worse than [Thunder Games].

"The old four families are completely finished."

A loyal fan was full of disappointment and gave up "rights protection" for the old four, just said: "I have been a fan of their games since I was a child, and now...they can't escape the fate of corruption after all. From now on, I I no longer regard myself as a fan of the old four."

If it was placed some time ago, when the fans of the old four were rampant, this kind of behavior would inevitably provoke a group of people to scold.

But now... "Thunder fans" accepted him tolerantly, and the "old four fans" no longer had the intention of cursing others, and they themselves were also confused.

[Thunder Games] first spent 10 billion US dollars on marketing, and also gave free console masterpieces to consumers, even consumers who had bought consoles before, also got a share.

It can be said to be full of sincerity, which makes the "Thunder fans" very excited.

Not only that.

In addition to the $10 billion marketing profit sharing plan, a full $50 billion has been allocated to promote the development of global console games, hoping to bring more good games to players.

Through these two things, the brand promotion concept of [Thunder Games] is further strengthened: make games with a sincere attitude, so that the game industry will never go out of date.

In contrast, what did the old four do?
They did nothing.

In the face of [Thunder Games]'s 10 billion US dollar marketing plan, the marketing plan of tens of millions of dollars of the old four was directly aborted, and even the company's top management didn't bother to spend the money.

In the face of [Thunder Games]'s $50 billion "Global Console Game Reward Program", the senior executives of the old four companies were directly desperate, and they didn't even have the slightest intention to fight.

If there is no stock market turmoil, the old four may be able to cash out a large sum of money from the stock market in advance to ease the tension in the capital chain.

but now.

The stock market performance of the old four was directly crippled by Tian Moyun. Not only did they fail to cash out, they were even locked up with tens of billions of dollars... It was a loss.

In addition, the five major shareholders have different minds, seeing that there is no hope of revenge, each of them wants to "get out of the pit"...

Today's old four families are full of "internal and external troubles".

The internal problems of the four major companies are difficult to solve, so how can they have the energy to deal with the outside world?

……

3 month.

An overseas online media broke the news of a big news that shocked the game circle.

Tony, the chief designer of the hardware department of [Shenguang 1st Generation], the old four alliance, has officially announced his resignation.

When the reporter interviewed Master Tony for his views on [Shenguang 1st Generation], he learned that Tony had hoped that the senior executives of the old four companies would work hard to build this product, but they made a mess, and they were unwilling to contribute, and they faintly wanted to give up.

Master Tony was very disappointed by this. He didn't expect that the painstaking efforts he had put in for countless days and nights would be so wasted... Depressed, he finally made the decision to resign.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

As soon as this news came out, ordinary netizens should eat melons, but those players who bought [Shenguang 1 generation] couldn't sit still.

"Fake!!!"

"Don't tell me it's serious..."

"Didn't you say that the king will return? Why is it still the same as last time?"

"I bought a game console for the purpose of playing games. If I gave up on it, wouldn't there be no games to play in the future? That's useless."

"Looking at the support for the sake of feelings, it turned out to be a scam, which is too sad."

"There is nothing to regret. After all, I knew there was such a risk when I bought it. It was just to support my feelings, but at this time, I am still a little disappointed."

"Hurry up and return the product before the return validity period has expired, what the hell?"

"Yes, I returned it quickly while I was still able to return it."

"Don't get caught up in the rhythm, who said [Shenguang 1st generation] was abandoned? Did the fourth family say it? Everything should be based on the news of the fourth family, okay?"

"That's right, why didn't the old four's own news come out, just because of the news of an online media? What if a competitor deliberately set up a trap?"

"Maybe [Thunder Games] bought Tony with money, which is why Tony resigned... You don't have any evidence, is it appropriate to slander like this?"

"Upstairs...it's really internationally famous with double standards."

"What about Tony and Tony? I don't know, and I don't want to know. It's just an employee who quit. He gave up when he said he gave up? How old is he?"

Someone scolded the old four for not talking about martial arts.

Someone is very disappointed.

Some people advise everyone not to be overwhelmed by impulse over reason.

There are also people who want to divert the trouble and put the blame on [Thunder Game].

Very interesting, very lively.

Of course, the fans of [Thunder Game] were not willing to take the blame, so they directly confronted these people.

There are also some more capable and intelligent fans. They directly found the life of "Master Tony" and posted it on the Internet to severely slap those who want to make trouble.

Master Tony is no ordinary employee.

He is the chief product designer of [Superhard Moro Game Company] in the fourth family. Since the birth of [Superhard Moro], he has been in this company and has been staying until now. The sense of smell eventually became the top executive in the company.

Although he has no shares, he is also a top wage earner.

With an annual income of millions of dollars, Master Tony is already a financially free family.

Therefore, the so-called "[Thunder Game] spent money to buy it, and set up a scheme to calculate the old four" is simply unrealistic.

The workplace experience of "Master Tony" was exposed, and directly and severely slapped those who wanted to make trouble.

Who would have expected-

Seeing that they couldn't keep it going, they even made up a new idea-"The old four family was kind to Tony, but when the old four family was in trouble, Tony took the opportunity to make trouble. It's really despicable."

Hmm... this is ridiculous.

"What exactly do you want?"

Some passers-by couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but uttered: "Before, you said that Tony was bought, and then scolded [Thunder Games], now after it was proved impossible to buy, you scolded Master Tony again... In other words, the problem Shouldn't the point be 'whether the old four will give up [Shenguang 1st Generation]'? What's the point of you cursing?"

Passers-by couldn't figure it out, and always felt that they were going in the wrong direction.

As for why?

Soon, passers-by who watched the show came out to speak.

"Don't you understand? They all know in their hearts that [Shenguang 1st Generation] is probably going to be cold, but they have blown a lot of cowhide for the fourth family before. If it is really cold, these cowhide can't be cashed. At that time, they will definitely be laughed at to death... now such a hurry to start a war is nothing more than trying to divert attention and stop laughing at them, poor self-esteem."

Seeing this, the people who eat melons suddenly realized.

If you think about it carefully, this is really the case.

Most of these people are open-minded in their hearts, knowing that [Shenguang 1st Generation] has nothing to hope for, but because they are "hardcore fans of the old four" and cannot admit it, they are eager to start a war and divert attention.

What's the best target for a fight right now?
These people are not so stupid that they are hopelessly stupid. They know very well that once [Thunder Game] is dragged into the water, the fans of both sides will definitely tear up immediately.

In this way, the attention can be successfully diverted.

After this debate is over, the competition between [Shenguang 1st Generation], [Big Lotus] and [2nd Generation Handheld] will also come to an end.

At that time, who will notice these clowns?
Great plan, what a great plan!
……

What was the reaction of the old four?

They directly denounced the online media on the Internet and issued a lawyer's letter warning.

As for Master Tony's resignation?
The response given by the old four is very simple - the employee himself does not conform to the company's development philosophy, and offered to resign for approval, hoping that Master Tony can have a good future.

Is this over?

Yes, that was the end of it.

Netizens were overjoyed, and directly played the "lawyer's letter warning" into a joke.

It was extremely lively for a while.

Most of the die-hard fans of the Old Four Families, except for a very few who are still "recalcitrant", have left their fans in a low-key way.

They never mentioned that they were fans of the old four, and, at the instigation of many "Thunder fans", they returned the product and planned to buy [Big Lotus].

It's also interesting to say.

When they were "loyal" to the old four before, they couldn't see other game consoles at all.

Even if everyone can easily see that [Big Lotus] is far better than [Shenguang 1st generation], they will be nitpicking, trying to find faults, and then catch the only surviving [Shenguang 1st generation] There are many advantages, and they keep blowing.

It's silly, persistent, and "moving".

But now, when they finally decided to give up the fourth family, they realized—[Thunder Game] It's so sweet! ! !
"Final Fantasy" is so fun, and Goddess Tifa is so beautiful!

"Breath of the Wild" is the game I want, yes, love it!

When looking back on the past, they suddenly felt that they were too stupid to stick to their "positions", causing them to miss too many fun games.

……

"Not long after the game console was released, the chief designer left... What's wrong with this?"

When Tian Moyun got the news, he couldn't laugh or cry.

He got the news a little later, mainly because he has been busy in the past few days, busy with important things.

"According to Wilson's secret investigation, it is said that there are some internal problems."

Lu Wenbo said slowly: "Tony has a very high status in [Super Hard Mo Luo], and he has made a lot of contributions. This time, the old four have promised him that his design results will be of great value. It would have been a waste of his life, but in the end it just didn't work out."

"It is speculated that the old four families may have already decided to give up [Shenguang 1st generation], or they have already made this plan and are not going to continue investing."

"Tony had some heated disputes with the top management, and finally resigned angrily... After all, if it weren't for this, Tony would not have chosen to leave at this time, and he would still speak ill of the old four in front of the media."

It makes sense.

Tian Moyun nodded lightly: "What are the big three thinking? They joined hands with the fourth family to create [Shenguang 1 generation], and if there is a problem with the fourth family, they won't help? Are they still allies? "

"..."

Lu Wenbo looked at him strangely.

According to his guess, Tian Moyun probably wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to consume the cash reserves of the Big Three in preparation for another upcoming war.

As a result, the Big Three were not fooled at all, and had no intention of "helping" at all.

I don't know if he has seen through Tian Moyun's calculations, or if he has completely despaired of the old four.

"According to the news sent back by Wilson, the five major shareholders of the old four companies have no longer concealed their intention to sell the company. Not only the old four companies themselves are in a stalemate, but even the big three are hesitant, most of them are worried about their own They will be calculated like the old four families."

Lu Wenbo considered it for a while: "I guess, the Big Three can't guess what you think. Now that the old four have problems again, they will probably choose to sit on the sidelines and stop participating."

"It's really disappointing."

Tian Moyun shook his head and sighed endlessly: "When they formed an alliance before and established the alliance of seven major groups, I was still facing a big enemy. I thought this might be the biggest game I have experienced since I was born. Who would have thought that the result would be It's disappointing that their friendship is so fragile..."

Lu Wenbo was speechless.

Is this a question of fragile friendship?

Doesn't it seem like it?
The old four families had accumulated grievances for several years, and they were so angry that they wanted to fight [Thunder Game] to the end, so the Big Three were willing to "wholeheartedly" support them.

As a result, the old four families had just started fighting, and before the battle was decided, there were problems within the family.

It's like when we were fighting in ancient times, the rear suddenly ran out of food and grass... What a fart, even if it is a brave teacher, it is impossible to continue fighting in such a situation, right?
If it is because of the financial problems of the old four, after some hesitation, the Big Three may be able to lend a helping hand out of "sunk cost" considerations.

But what is the situation now?

The shareholders of the old four companies can no longer take care of this matter. While they are tired of fighting among themselves, they also want to sell their shares earlier... They have no intention of continuing to fight at all.

In the eyes of an ally of the Big Three, this is simply mud that cannot support the wall.

Is it a matter of reaching out?
This is a bottomless pit.

How much money do the Big Three have to pay to help the "allies" maintain this world competition?

Hold [Thunder Group]?
Don't make a fuss to the end. If you don't hold back [Thunder Group], you will drag down your own capital chain first, then it will be a real joke.

The shareholders of the Big Three also have their own thoughts.

The fourth family themselves don't really want to fight anymore, they just want to get out of the trap, why are they still following along?

Rather than investing huge sums of money in such a doomed project, I might as well keep all the money for myself.

After all, the world competition they had calculated... is not far away.

According to Lu Wenbo's guess, the Big Three were probably out of such considerations, so they decided to abandon their allies and focus all their energy on themselves.

It is better to rely on yourself than on people.

I believe that the Big Three's understanding of this sentence should be unforgettable.

……

[Shenguang 1st Generation]'s follow-up marketing resources could not keep up, the hardware designer Tony resigned, and the Big Three gave up assistance... A series of blows followed.

How long can the old four last?
Lu Wenbo hardly felt any pressure anymore. He knew very well that the current situation of [Shen Guang 1] can be described in four words: Immortals cannot be saved!
"Continue to put pressure on the old four."

Tian Moyun said lightly: "I have already discussed with the official leaders of Daxia. For some matters concerning the choice of interests, the group will form a negotiation team to discuss with the leaders of Daxia with the four major powers... This matter has been going on for a long time. Changes are prone to happen, so try your best to find a way to hit it, even if you can’t hit it, you have to find a way to guide public opinion, sing the old four in the international public opinion, and win opportunities for the negotiating team.”

"it is good."

Lu Wenbo quickly agreed, hesitated for a while, and asked, "Do you have any other arrangements?"

"Yes, I have."

Tian Moyun took a sip of tea calmly: "Go back and do your work, you will know soon."

……

After seeing off Lu Wenbo, Tian Moyun made an appointment with Li Tenglong again.

"What bad idea did you come up with?"

Li Tenglong is very wary of him.

Although he knew that Tian Moyun had no bad intentions, it was too scary to dig holes for him every time.

Li Tenglong, who wanted to understand many things recently, was full of fear of this old silver coin.

"Look what you said."

Tian Moyun shook his head: "[Longlin Company] not only owns your shares, but also mine, and my old father-in-law's. I can't cheat on myself and my old father-in-law."

This is true.

Li Tenglong nodded slightly.

"The relevant leaders of Daxia have already taken the group's elite to go abroad for negotiations."

Tian Moyun explained the current situation to him: "The old four families wanted to sell the company, and the Big Three took advantage of some issues with the VAM agreement to organize, and at the same time recruited the official power of the Lighthouse Country, the four powerful countries behind the old four, Desire to sell for a price... I have recently asked Lu Wenbo to put pressure on the old four, but the distance from success... is still a little short."

"so……"

Li Tenglong frowned: "You want [Longlin Company] to contribute too? But how can I do it?"

He felt that his ability was limited and he couldn't help this.

[Dragon Scale Company] has a market value of 8000 trillion yuan, which sounds like a lot, but in this "high-end battle situation", it's really nothing.

What's more, the [Dragon Scale Game] business has almost been abolished, and has no achievements in the game circle. Even if they want to snipe the old four, they can't do it at all.

You can't take [Dragon Scale 3] to snipe, right?
Although [Dragon Scale 3] is far inferior to [Thunder 2] and [Big Lotus], it is actually not outdated, and its performance is almost on par with the next door [Shenguang 1].

But the problem is-

The market share of [Dragon Scale 3] has long been saturated, and the main focus is on the low-end cost-effective market, so it is difficult to threaten [Shenguang 1].

Even if you want to make a move, you have no chance.

"Don't worry, since I'm looking for you, I will definitely not give you any problems."

Tian Moyun waved his hand: "I'll show you something good."

He cast the computer video on the TV and beckoned Li Tenglong to watch it.

Curious, Li Tenglong sat on the sofa and poured himself a cup of tea. Before he had a sip, he saw the video on the TV and shivered suddenly, and the tea spilled out.

What I saw on the TV was an advertising video for a game console.

And the game console in this promotional video is—[Dragon Scale 4th Generation].

Like [Great Lotus], [Dragon Scale 4] is also a master/handler two-in-one game console.

Li Tenglong: "???"

Only then did he understand what Tian Moyun meant, using the name of [Dragonscale 4th Generation] to compete for the popularity of [Shenguang 1st Generation], and at the same time put pressure on the old four families, and put pressure on the powerful country behind the old four families, in order to promote The acquisition negotiations.

Have to say, this is a really good idea.

You must know that before the birth of [Thunder 2], [Thunder Game]'s reputation in the international host circle was not conspicuous.

At that time, the opponent of the old four was [Dragon Scale Game], and they were suppressed by [Dragon Scale 3] for a time.

[Dragon Scale Game] is also a powerful game manufacturer that has defeated the old four. If they announce the news of the release of a new game console, then the international host circle will definitely be shocked.

[Thunder Game] There is no pressure here, because they have long been the biggest winners of this era.

But the old four families can't do it. They are already very fragile, and now they are being questioned. If they are shocked by the news of [Dragon Scale 4]... it is conceivable.

"Are you even ready for an ad?"

Li Tenglong looked at him with a little horror in his eyes: "When was this prepared?"

"This was prepared together with the [Big Lotus] promotional video."

Tian Moyun smiled: "At first, I thought that if I couldn't take down the old four quickly, I would release the news of [Dragon Scale 4th Generation]. , it would be appropriate to take it out at this time."

"..."

Li Tenglong blinked, and asked subconsciously: "You were sure that the new product of the old four is a two-in-one game console? What if it is not?"

If not, then you will miss the backhand you prepared in advance.

"I didn't seem to say... I only prepared such a promotional video, didn't I?"

Tian Moyun spread his hands: "Actually, I have prepared three copies, namely traditional host, traditional handheld, and two-in-one... No matter how the old four make moves, I have a countermeasure here."

"Then have you ever thought... what if I don't agree?"

Li Tenglong asked again: "You haven't discussed it with me. If I don't agree, wouldn't it be all food?"

Tian Moyun didn't answer this question, but just looked at him with a smile.

Li Tenglong felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by him like this.

Well, he had to admit, that was pretty silly.

Regardless of whether it was discussed in advance, as long as Tian Moyun brought it up, Li Tenglong had to do it.

For one thing, [Longlin Company] is able to have what it is today, all thanks to the selfless help of [Thunder Group].

Second, [Dragon Scale 4th Generation] is a frightening thing that does no harm to [Dragon Scale Company].

Three, Tian Moyun himself is also an important shareholder of [Longlin Company]. His suggestions must be taken seriously as long as they are beneficial to the company's development.

Use [Dragon Scale 4th Generation] to put pressure on the four old families and the powerful countries behind them to facilitate this cross-border acquisition.

Once successful, [Dragon Scale Company] can directly inherit all the accumulation of the old four companies, quickly return to the international host circle, and become the only hardware giant in the world that is qualified to compete with [Thunder Games].

And most importantly.

In this way, the world's console game industry is completely under the control of the Daxia people.

After a while, if Tian Moyun can also severely damage the three international giants, [Thunder Game] and [Dragon Scale Game] can sit back and relax for at least 10 years in the future.

Li Tenglong feels more and more that he is the protagonist of destiny in this era.

think about it--

This time, Tian Moyun strategized and plotted, set off a big battle to defeat the old four, and finally gave the spoils to [Longlin Company].

As for [Dragon Scale Company], there was almost no price paid...the four treasure mountains could be won at a very cheap price, and the market value of trillions could easily be broken through.

Excited just thinking about it.

……

"correct."

After Li Tenglong came back to his senses, he frowned and asked, "Is this [Dragon Scale 4] really going to be released? It seems like you haven't even prepared for the first escort masterpiece?"

"For now, it's just a scare stunt."

Tian Moyun shook his head: "The hardware architecture of [Dragon Scale 4th Generation] is almost the same as that of [Big Lotus]... According to my current thinking, if [Dragon Scale Company] can successfully acquire the old four companies, it will directly transfer [Shen Guang 1st Generation] Wouldn’t it be better to be a 4th generation product?”

In that case, the senior executives of the Big Four and the Big Three will definitely vomit blood in depression.

"There's a problem here."

Li Tenglong frowned: "[Shenguang 1st Generation] must have used a lot of patents that belong to the Big Three. If this problem is not solved, it will be difficult for us to produce [Shenguang 1st Generation] hardware by ourselves. If we want to postpone the launch of [Shenguang 2nd Generation]... Ah, if we want to launch [Dragon Scale 5th Generation], it will also be unable to effectively inherit the game library of the previous generation due to structural problems. This is a big loss. .”

"It's not difficult to solve."

Tian Moyun was not surprised, and said casually: "The method is very simple. Use the hardware architecture I provided to replace the original architecture of [Shenguang 1st Generation]. If the Big Three don’t give face... we will reorganize the game development department, copy them according to the new structure, copy the 12 escort masterpieces as quickly as possible, and completely get rid of the Big Three.”

"I know that this process will take some time, but you should also know that once the old four companies are successfully inherited, [Dragon Scale Game] will be officially revived and become the company's second largest profitable project. It's just a matter of earlier and later ...that's all."

Li Tenglong was thoughtful, and after a while, he nodded in agreement.

This truth is true.
