Chapter 412 War without gunpowder
This Wang Qian is really quarreling against the sky and the earth! "If You Are the One" confronts "The King of Singers", "The Glory of the Emperor" confronts "Sword Immortal 2", and now "Grand Theft Auto" is about to confront "Fantasy World 15"!
"Boss Wang, is the sales time set? On the 25th of next month? I am sure it will not change again?" Xie Yuanming publicly confirmed to Wang Qian in the WeChat group.
"If you don't change, do you want to learn from Boss Yang to cut a JJ bet on the first day's sales?" Wang Qian asked Xie Yuanming.
"The warriors of our Great Japanese Ben Empire do not cut the jj, and if they want to cut it, they will cut it." Xie Yuanming replied to Wang Qian. After working in Japanese-funded enterprises for a long time, Xie Yuanming has forgotten his identity as a Chinese.
"Does Boss Xie Yuanming want to bet with Boss Wang? Just use the sales share on the first day to bet!" Everyone in the group who was watching the fun and not bothered to start joking.
"It's so boring to bet on septiles. Teacher Wang's previous two bets with people, but it was not cashed out in the end. Why not bet on the company's shares! By the way, the number of sales on the first day cannot tell the quality of the game, and the number of sales in the first month is almost the same. So, we both have a contract, "Grand Theft Auto" and "Fantasy World 15" are sold at the same price. If "Grand Theft Auto" first month is higher than "Fantasy World 15", Nisso sells 51% of the shares to Blizzard at the price of an international professional evaluation company. If "Grand Theft Auto" first month's sales are lower than "Fantasy World 15", Blizzard sells 51% of the shares to Nisso at the price of an international professional evaluation company. What does Boss Wang think?" Xie Yuanming mentioned to Wang Qian.
"It's not that you look down on you. Can you do this kind of thing?" Wang Qian sneered.
The group has not been silent for the time being. This kind of thing is indeed not something that Xie Yuanming, an assistant, can decide.
"Teacher Wang, don't leave, I'll call." Xie Yuanming dared to say that just now, but he was really angry for a moment.
Nisso had a wide range of industries before, but with the rise of the electronics industry in China, Nisso's living space was repeatedly compressed. In this life, Nisso focused almost all their energy on the game industry in the later stage. Although the sales of each generation of "Fantasy World" increased, it could not withstand the increase in labor and various expenses. Nisso's life was actually at a loss in game production, and barely relied on the console platform to support the entire company.
After the meeting, the company's senior management believed that Nisso's sales in the European and American markets had been saturated. With the strengthening of copyright awareness in China and the prosperity of the game industry, the main players in the future game market are undoubtedly in China. Japan and China are very close to China. Both countries belong to Eastern culture. Moreover, Japan and China have been learning Chinese culture from ancient times to the present and have a very good understanding of Chinese culture, so they are eager to open up the Chinese market.
Blizzard Company has emerged in China this year. In a few months, it has become the largest gaming company in China, and its profits exceed 60% of the entire Chinese gaming market. If Nisso can successfully acquire Blizzard Company, it will be of great benefit to their opening of the Chinese market in the future, and Nisso will also have a second spring.
Xie Yuanming knew that Nisso attached great importance to the acquisition of Blizzard. If he could win the acquisition rights of Blizzard by a bet, the company's senior management would not refuse such a good thing.
In Xie Yuanming's opinion, Blizzard, a mobile game company, cannot surpass Nisso's "Fantasy World" series in any case, so they will definitely win this bet, and Blizzard's shares will also be able to earn. Although Nisso is now declining, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. It is definitely okay to find a suitable investment company to eat Blizzard in one fell swoop.
"Okay." Wang Qian didn't mean to leave stage fright.
Nisso wants to eat Blizzard and enter the Chinese market, and Blizzard also wants to eat Nisso and enter the console market. You should know that Nisso occupies half of the console market. Their four consoles are only slightly hard h-boxes in the international market. Once they eat Nisso, just like Blizzard and eat WeChat game platform, Blizzard has its own console platform, and Wang Qian has transplanted many classic games from his previous life to this life, so he will not have to worry about not being able to occupy the international game console market.
In this life, the sales of "Fantasy World 14" are only three million copies. "Fantasy World 15" has been changed to a sandbox game. The sales may not be as good as "Fantasy World 12". Even if it doubles, it will only be six million copies. Although "Fantasy World 15" has a European and American style, only some Europeans and Americans like this aesthetic fantasy style. The main sales group is still in the Japanese and benzene.
5 different.
5 is a very pure European and American culture. The sales of 5 in the previous life exceeded 70 million copies by the end of 2016!
Its "Grand theft auto v" has achieved unprecedented success and has become the highest-selling work in the history of the game. The total sales worldwide are as high as more than 70 million copies. In the gaming industry, works with an overall sales volume of more than 6 million copies are rare, except for some popular classic works.
For example, the "Perona" series has sold more than 6.9 million since its release. However, "Grand theft auto v" is completely different. This masterpiece has achieved unprecedented success, becoming the highest-selling work in the history of the game, with a total sales of more than 70 million worldwide. Six million were sold in the UK alone. According to the latest data from the UK game sales list gfk chart-trak, "Grand theft auto 5" has sold 6 million in the UK, which means that about one out of every ten British people have purchased this work.
Because gfk chart-trak does not have statistical version sales, the actual number may be higher. However, this part does not dominate the total sales.
The GTA series with violent crime themes is accompanied by countless controversies, but these have made each new work in the series more sales than its predecessors after its release. Now, "Grand Theft Auto Online", which includes micro-transactions, has become a money-making tool for developers, making 5's enviable profitability to the next level.
Five months later, in June 2017, the sales of 5 reached a new level, exceeding 80 million copies! The sales in the United States have set a historical record for 22 years.
Analyst mat pisatella revealed that the masterpiece developed has been one of the best-selling games in the United States since its release date and is also the most-selling game in the history counted by NPD since 1995. He said on his Twitter, 'This is not surprising, but it is still incredible'.
Of course, this does not mean that 5 exceeds all masterpieces, but is just an interesting figure shared by Pisatella. After all, this is just the data counted by the company. As the analyst said, this result is not surprising. As the latest sequel to the series, although it was first launched on the xbox 360 and ps3 console platforms in 2013, the global sales momentum of 5 has not diminished until 2017.
Although it was a game for the Xbox360 and PS3 console platforms, the PC, Xbox One and PS4 versions were soon launched, which further increased the sales of 5. The long-term update for the multiplayer mode of "GTA OL" is also one of the reasons for the success of the game.
For parent company Take-Two, the revenue contributed by 5 is very high. The company's first quarter financial report ended on March 31, 2017 exceeded US$1.78 billion. Just last week, the company's CEO, Strauss Zelnik also said in a speech that the company's monetization level for individual players is lower than that of the industry.
With such a sales foundation in the original world, Wang Qian is not worried about the sales of 5 in this world, and it is simply a breeze to defeat "Fantasy World 15".
Xie Yuanming is worried that Blizzard will not agree to the acquisition plan, and Wang Qian is also worried that Nisso will not agree!
After Xie Yuanming called the president of Nisso Asia, the president of Nisso Asia immediately notified the company's group headquarters. The company's group headquarters convened a video conference to explain Xie Yuanming's somewhat strange acquisition plan to the important shareholders.
Eventually they formed a resolution.
"The company headquarters agreed to our bet, but required a formal contract to write the bet into the contract. At the same time, the homepage of Nisso and Blizzard Company must announce the bet and acquisition contract for gamers all over the world to supervise." Two hours later, Xie Yuanming announced the news in the game production WeChat group.
Soon, Shan Yao also called Wang Qian to notify him.
"No problem, it's better to sign a contract for such a thing, so as not to avoid Nisso's company being the same as the previous two bets, and then pretending to be deaf and dumb after losing the bet." Wang Qian expressed his approval of Nisso's company's conditions.
"Hahahaha...Boss Wang is indeed brave! Then we have a decision! "Fantasy World 15" and "Grand Theft Auto" are on sale on the G-Fat Platform at the same time! I wish Blizzard's first game to enter the European and American markets can achieve good results!" Xie Yuanming gave a big thumbs-up expression.
"Well, I hope "Fantasy World 15" can also achieve good results." Wang Qian politely replied to Xie Yuanming.
Chapter completed!
