Super Game Empire

In the president's exclusive conference room at Sega headquarters, Okawa Nanase leaned on the window seat illuminated by the sun, watching the busy staff setting up the venue, Yang Yun and Nakayama Hayao, as well as Miyazaki Hayao and Hisaishi Joe, who were chatting and laughing easily.

, people like Shang Yue Jingzheng couldn't help but feel emotional in their hearts.

This man is really amazing. He is very charming and talented. He can also gather the top elites who have made great achievements in various industries around him to create such great achievements. He is one of them. Logically speaking, he should

It's right to be proud and proud, but...

Under the guise of drinking tea, Okawa Nanase glanced tenderly and sadly at Yang Yun, who was chatting and laughing, and she didn't know what she felt in her heart.

She knew that her relationship would definitely be fruitless. Even though she had been drawing shoujo comics for so many years and was named the emotional counselor of CLAMP by her sisters, she had a thorough understanding of human hearts and emotions, at least she was extremely clear-headed.

, it’s a pity that once something happens to her, she will never be able to get out of this knot or jump out of this quagmire.

It's easier to talk to others than to do it yourself. Her performance is even worse than the girls in those shoujo comics. She sinks hopelessly and willingly. Every year she looks forward to Yang Yun's business trip to Japan, and she has to be sneaky to do it.

She had been resentful and sad when they met each other, but these few nights when she saw his eyes, listened to his voice, and felt the powerful impact, her heart softened again.

Yang Yun didn't look here, he was chatting with Zhongshan Shunxiong.

The communication line test is completed, all units are contacted, all participants are in place, and the conference call begins.

First, Zhao Yongping reported on the sales of DC game consoles: "The number of consoles booked before January 1st was 10.12 million, the cumulative number of 24 games exceeded 216 million, and the total sales were US$5.349 billion. After the official launch, until last week

day

, the cumulative sales volume in 14 days was 380,000 units, the game exceeded 2 million copies, and the sales exceeded 220 million US dollars. In these four months, 3 Longteng factories around the world have produced a total of 8.95 million DC units, most of which have been delivered. In January

It can all be completed by mid-term.”

The whole place was silent. It was impossible to falsify data in this situation. Except for the top executives of the sales department, this was the first time for people in other departments to hear this data. Even though they had heard some rumors before, it still far exceeded their expectations.

Oh my God! DC has only been on the market for half a month, and including pre-orders, it has sold a total of 10.5 million units, with sales exceeding US$5.5 billion! What is this concept?

Although compared to international giants such as Sony, Motorola, and Intel, whose annual sales exceed tens of billions of dollars, Longteng is still a little brother, but in the global game industry, who dares to say that it can have such a large sales volume?

This is entirely supported by DC's one-man effort. In terms of PC games, Longteng only sold US$420 million in game discs in 1997, even for the well-received "Red Alert", "Special Forces" and "NBAGame97"

And "FIFA97", the total sales volume is only more than 10 million. Not to mention the online game market, the total revenue of "Xianlu" is only 10 million US dollars, and it is still in a state of burning money and losing money. Its ability to attract money is completely incomparable with that of TV game consoles!

However, Yang Yun doesn't care about these losses. In addition to DC, Longteng Entertainment and Game Company's most profitable products are Longteng chips and Nvidia graphics cards, and their sales are no less than those of games.

"The above data does not include Longteng handheld game consoles, Longteng Film Entertainment Company, Dishui Lake Film and Television Game Base, Longteng Computer World, Longteng Animation and other related industries. To be precise, in our financial statistics in 1996, the annual turnover

It is 6.8 billion US dollars. This year DC will be listed and Longteng chip will be listed. I believe we will create a new miracle in the annual report!"

Zhao Yongping's voice was filled with excitement. DC exceeded 5.5 billion, and Longteng chips exceeded 5 billion. Together with other industries, it was enough to double Longteng's annual turnover!

Yang Yun knew it well, translated this passage into Japanese, and read it to his Japanese colleagues around him.

The applause continued. Not only were Hayao Nakayama, Hayao Miyazaki and others around him applauding in shock, but there was also thunderous applause on the phone. Long Teng finally joined the club with an annual turnover of more than 10 billion U.S. dollars, and it is very likely to exceed it for the first time.

15 billion US dollars, becoming one of the top IT companies in the world!

With annual sales of tens of billions of dollars, it can already enter the world's top 500 companies, and with annual sales of US$15 billion, it can rank among the top 300 in the world.

Although General Electric, the number one company in 1998, had a terrifying turnover of 180 billion US dollars, their profits were only a pitiful 7 billion, and GE has 610,000 employees worldwide. Compared with Longteng's employees who were just over 1,000, a single

The value created by employees is not of the same order of magnitude as profits.

In mainland China, the Bank of China has a turnover of more than 20 billion, and the state-owned enterprises with Chinese prefixes such as Sinochem and COFCO are also between 10 and 20 billion. However, there has never been a private enterprise with an annual turnover of more than 10 billion US dollars. Longteng is the only one.

Miracle.

What's more, Longteng holds two important industries: game software and semiconductor hardware. The former will create greater and greater brand influence and bring people spiritual and cultural enjoyment, while the latter can create 5 billion US dollars in the first year.

The turnover is not much worse than Intel’s US$25 billion. Chips have real unlimited potential!

"Mr. Yang, Bill Gates has been named the richest man in the world. His total personal assets are US$38.4 billion. Do you have any plans to challenge him this year?" Nakayama Hayao suddenly jumped out of his mouth and stunned Yang Yun.

"Yes, Bill Gates has been ranked as the richest man in the world for three consecutive years on the Forbes list. Emperors take turns, and this year it's our turn to take the throne, right?" Ma Liang joined in the fun, this guy just couldn't stop.

, to avoid bad ideas.

“Support Mr. Yang and Bill Gatsby’s assets!”

"It would be so glorious and dazzling to have Chinese names appear in Forbes and Fortune magazines!"

"By the way, I can also mention that Nintendo's bankruptcy has nothing to do with Dragon Soar!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone laughed. In fact, everyone knew very well that although Microsoft's turnover this year just exceeded 11 billion US dollars, most of Bill Gates' personal wealth is in Microsoft stocks. This company with a market value of hundreds of billions is enough for Bill Gates to

Ci easily rose to the position of the world's richest man.

Longteng Entertainment and Game Company is a purely private enterprise with only one boss. Even if there are branches that cooperate with others, most of them are dominated by Longteng. They are basically IT-related companies, and there are even some companies related to Longteng.

Other hidden assets that seem unrelated on the surface, such as KTT and SZone, can all be counted as Yang Yun's wealth.

"No, we are not a listed company. We do not need to announce it in detail and clearly. I have no intention of competing for the world's richest man. This will expose me to the mass media. I don't want to be remembered by some people with evil intentions.

"Yang Yun jokingly rejected this suggestion, and added: "I just met Bill Gates a few days ago. He personally admitted that he doesn't have as much money as me. He hopes that I won't disclose my total assets so that he can sit on his desk more.

The throne of the richest man of the year.”

Phew...

How could Bill Gates say such a thing? A group of people laughed, but everyone understood that Yang Yun wanted to be an invisible rich man. This is very common. There are some ancient families in European and American countries who control most of the world's energy in a low-key manner.

, mining, chemical industry, IT and other industries are so large that it is unbelievable, and they are definitely not on the order of tens of billions of dollars.

I called my Japanese colleagues to a meeting today not just to share the good news. After Yang Yun waited for everyone to digest the good news, he said: "The DC game console has no rivals for the time being, but that doesn't mean we can relax. Everyone

As we all know, Microsoft's XBOX project has been launched, and KTT is likely to acquire Nintendo. They... ahem, they are all our competitors. Once they join forces, we will be under great pressure."

Some people are chuckling, thinking that if Microsoft and KTT really join forces, that would be a good thing. Anyone who has paid attention to Longteng competitive games knows that there is a saying like this: "Don't be afraid of opponents who are like gods, only be afraid of teammates who are like pigs."

.”

Yang Yun did not explain, and continued: "The DC game console has brought tens of millions of sales to many games. This is an opportunity for us to expand home game users. We need to make more new games. I decided

, the four comics "Detective Conan", "One Piece", "Naruto" and "Yu-Gi-Oh!" will be adapted into animated films, comic magazines, game adaptations, and game peripheral packaging, and strive to complete three-dimensional all-round publicity by this year, that is, before the end of 1998.

.”

Everyone's spirits were lifted, this was such a big move!

The story of Conan is an expansion based on the handheld game "Ace Attorney". "One Piece" and "Naruto" are original comics and are well received by comic fans. Not to mention "Yu-Gi-Oh!", at the beginning of production, it was

It plans to replace "Three Kingdoms" and "Pocket Monsters" by improving and upgrading handheld games, card collections and desktop games to gain greater control over these three markets.

Yang Yun plans to convert these comic fans into game users and conduct in-depth exploration. If he can convert 1% of the 1 billion comic fans, there will be 10 million players. This is a very scary number.

The big project is still a Sino-Japanese cooperation. The domestic headquarters will provide game technicians, and the Japanese branch will provide artists and directors. This is Longteng's largest move in the animation and game industries.

Yang Yun said: "Let's determine the person in charge..."

Everyone's ears stood up, hoping to be picked by Yang Yun to take charge of this historic project.
