Tokyo Video Game Tycoon.

Myron Case is finally starting to disobey orders.

As Myron Case said, he held absolute power, and they really couldn't do anything about it.

“Then we can consider selling the shares directly.” These shareholders were getting a bit aggressive.

Anyway, this company has been doing worse and worse lately, so it seems like it's a good idea to get out now.

"Don't rush. What if I said I'm willing to increase investment in this game and release more shares? I can use my shares to attract more funds, which won't have any impact on you."

Chapter 897 Starting with Top-Tier Games

897

Myron Keyes has broken his own rules once again.

That is to give up more of one's shares in order to gain an opportunity to take a gamble.

in case.

If he can make a breakthrough in the video game industry, then his smartphone business might at least be able to maintain its core business.

He also has his own personal PC.

In the past, he always insisted that his PCs should prioritize productivity and style, and he didn't care about video games at all.

Given his attitude, coupled with the poor sales of the PCs developed by Mikef, even fewer people were willing to port their games to Mikef's PC operating system.

But this time, he's going to implement a complete reform.

The price of this reform is that he will have to give up some equity this time.

Upon hearing that Myron Case would be solely responsible for the entire investment and that he was willing to give up more equity, the shareholders immediately fell silent.

Some people were even immediately considering how much money they could spend to get more original shares from Myron Case.

Myron Case knew perfectly well what they were thinking.

But he no longer cared.

At the same time, the other shareholders also learned of this news.

And they all did not object, but instead began to consider acquiring more shares of Mikefu.

Despite the current sluggish sales of Mikefu's products, they have at least cultivated a group of die-hard fans.

And these die-hard fans have quite a bit of spending power.

However, these die-hard fans have all complained about the limited number of video games produced by Mikefu, but this has not been a concern for past shareholders.

But now that I don't need to pay any more price, there's no problem trying video games.

"Very good. It seems that the shareholders have no objections to my suggestions. So what I want to say next is that I will increase investment in the video game division. This time, we will make top-tier games, just like the top-tier games from Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. I remember Yuxing Electronic Entertainment once advertised a purely industrialized, assembly-line game. I heard that this is a standard answer. Does any of you know about this?"

"Boss, I know a bit about it because I participated in the entire industrial game development course at Youxing Electronic Entertainment."

An employee who had been working as a junior manager in the game development department stood up.

He seemed a little agitated.

The boss is planning to increase investment in video games, which means they will be valued and will have more opportunities for promotion!

If we don't seize this opportunity now, it will be the biggest regret!

“Great, we can discuss the development of industrialized video games separately after the meeting.”

Myron Case was very satisfied.

At least for now, there are still some people who are capable of taking on important roles.

“Boss, I think we shouldn’t limit ourselves to industrialized, assembly-line games. I mean, we can try making games on a larger scale.”

At this moment, another person stood up. He was also from the game development department, but he was also the person in charge of leading a team of 100 people and being responsible for the development of small and medium-sized games.

His team has always had very limited funding for game development, which has prevented him from fully realizing his game development ambitions.

He could certainly consider working for a larger game company to leverage his strengths.

But as the saying goes, it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix.

That's the kind of person he is. In this high-ranking position, once an opportunity arises, he will be the biggest beneficiary.

Seeing that someone had already taken the lead, he no longer hesitated.

“A bit bigger? How big?” Myron Case asked.

"A development team of a thousand people, with game development funding starting at one hundred million US dollars, not including game engine licensing fees and marketing expenses."

Everyone immediately turned around in surprise to look at the team leader.

Asking for a hundred million dollars right off the bat is insane.

"Are you confident you can surpass Yusei Electronic Entertainment?"

"Of course not." The team leader answered very decisively. "How could Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's status be surpassed by just one of our games? But boss, rest assured, if my vision is correct, we will definitely be able to establish a foothold in the video game industry. At that time, we will also have more fans, which is what you want, boss?"

These words are very honest; to think that they can surpass Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is simply wishful thinking.

The current Youxing Electronic Entertainment is an almost insurmountable mountain.

Someone once said that unless Yuxing Electronics messes things up, they can live off their past achievements for at least forty years.

Not to mention that Youxing Electronic Entertainment now has more than ten top game producers, as well as a god-like figure: Zhu Youxing.

"Okay, we can discuss the specific details after the meeting. As for the funding you want, that's all negotiable."

"Thank you for your kind words, boss!"

The team leader was extremely excited.

Looks like I made the right bet.

The boss is really determined to make a name for himself in the video game industry this time.

He finally realized that the electronic product itself was not important; what mattered was the content it contained.

People certainly have many ways to entertain themselves.

Video entertainment, literary entertainment, music entertainment, and so on.

However, according to market research, the global video game industry is projected to reach hundreds of billions of dollars in the next ten years.

And the projections for the next fifty years.

It's in the trillions of dollars.

With such a big cake, no one would want to miss out on a piece.

In other words, Myron Case has always been too arrogant and has no desire to engage with video games.

It's impossible to catch up with top game companies now, but Mikeford is a company with plenty of money. Given enough time and the courage of those willing to pay hefty rewards, it's not impossible for them to make a name for themselves.

Subsequently, several other people also shared their visions during the meeting.

Myron Case did not agree to these people's requests at the meeting. Instead, he proposed to discuss them in detail later. He needed to carefully review each one and determine their basic policy. After all, he did not want to waste too much money.

At this moment, Myron Keyes hadn't felt that same surge of passion in a long time.

Of course, he still can't understand the appeal of video games.

What he needs to do next is to try his best to understand the appeal of video games.

Let's start by playing those top-tier games.

Chapter 898 This company is different from the others.

898

Tomoka Ishii graduated from the Department of Electronic Media at the University of Tokyo.

This major is a relatively new one that has emerged in recent years.

Simply put, this is actually a related major in video game development.

However, the University of Tokyo wanted to sound more prestigious, and the name "game" seemed a bit too vulgar. It would be a bit beneath a university like theirs to name a major something less sophisticated.

Ishii Tomoka was hired by Yusei Electronic Entertainment immediately after graduating and successfully started working there.

"Ishii, this is the floor of our First Game Development Department. The entire floor belongs to our department, as do the floors above it. Our First Game Development Department was the first game development department established by Youxing Electronic Entertainment, and it is the core of the core!"

A young man proudly introduced the First Game Development Department to Ishii Chika, who had just entered.

Ishii Chika looked around with an expression of great admiration and longing.

The most eye-catching thing on the entire floor is a huge, life-size statue of a dragon and a hero right in front of the elevator.

The entire floor has a ceiling height of six meters. In order to accommodate a giant dragon and a hero, they even borrowed some space from the upper floors, opening up the floor slab of the upper space to place the entire ten-meter-tall dragon image here. This makes the department a very shocking visual experience as soon as you step out of the elevator.

The dragon was incredibly lifelike. Although it was designed in a cartoonish style, its imposing presence was still palpable.

Passing the statues of the dragon and the hero, there are escalators on both sides that lead to the upper floors, and behind the escalators is the main office area of ​​the first development department.

Before coming here, Ishii Chika had imagined the interior of this company in many ways.

In the past, the inner workings of Yusei Electronic Entertainment were a mystery.

Although there are occasional interview programs that offer a glimpse into parts of this company.

However, most areas, such as the development department's office areas, are not open to visitors.

Because you can never be sure where developers are secretly working on game development.

Within Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, game development has always been a matter that requires absolute secrecy.

So far, apart from the intentional release of some information and intelligence by Yusei Electronics Entertainment, it has been difficult for the general public to find out any secrets related to the development of Yusei Electronics Entertainment.

Therefore, in Ishii Chika's imagination, the development department should be a well-ordered place, with everyone doing their own work in an orderly manner, each person observing five or six computer screens at the same time in a cubicle-sized workstation, and then working frantically to complete the game development.

After all, these are commonplace scenarios in other game development companies.

But when she arrived at the scene of Youxing Electronic Entertainment, she realized how superficial her impression had been.

This was a completely different scene from what I had imagined.

In the main office area, most people's workstations are open-plan.
