Chapter 186: The dust has settled, and Huanhai is in turmoil
The three-day Asian Anime and Games Expo came to an end very quickly.
This exhibition has undoubtedly brought huge benefits to manufacturers and visitors.
Manufacturers made a lot of money by selling peripheral products, and also advertised their own products.
Visitors also bought their favorite products, expanded their collections, and witnessed this grand event with their own eyes.
With the big cheers of the closing ceremony, the exhibition came to a successful conclusion.
Major manufacturers and tourists left the venue one after another, preparing to return to their respective cities.
And at this time.
Above the square.
"Brother Dachui, and everyone else, we are leaving too."
Several young men gathered in front of the Honghuang team and said goodbye to them reluctantly.
After all, we had been together for three days and experienced the ups and downs of the exhibition together, so it was a bit depressing to suddenly part ways.
"Okay, stop nagging, we are not going to die."
Old Li slapped the person who was speaking on the shoulder, and his voice was a little choked.
As an elder, he actually likes these energetic guys very much, especially the fans who have stayed in their exhibition area for three days.
Although he knew that Honghuang would not be crushed by big companies.
But the fact that they stayed with them and supported them silently when they were feeling lonely at their exhibition area is enough to prove that these kids are truly in love.
Seeing this, Chen Lin at the side finally spoke up: "They came all the way here to support us, we can't go back empty-handed. Xiaoli and Xiaowei, give them each one of the AR devices we brought to the exhibition."
"OK."
The two sisters who were secretly wiping their tears in the corner were startled awake.
He immediately put on a smiling face, rummaged through the luggage for a while, and found a few AR devices and gave them to the young men.
"Come here, this is our official special equipment, take it back as a souvenir."
"Ah? Are you really going to give it to us?"
Several people were shocked. You know, this kind of thing could be worth thousands of dollars on the market, and it was an official model. How could it be given away just like that?
This man who is called boss by Brother Dachui is too generous.
After hesitating for a long time, they looked at each other again.
Finally, he took the equipment, his eyes full of joy.
"Thank you!"
“We will take good care of this equipment!”
Worth it!
This trip to the exhibition is totally worth it!
If you take this device and those rare physical cards back home, won’t your friends be envious to death?
Everyone hugged the equipment box tightly, extremely excited, fearing that it would fall out and break.
"Okay, it's getting late and you have a plane to catch, so just stop here for today."
After leaving several people's contact information, Lao Li spoke.
"Then we'll go first."
After saying goodbye, the young men waved goodbye and turned to leave.
After a while, it disappeared into the darkening night.
Naturally, Chen Lin and his team did not stay any longer. They returned to the hotel and stayed for one night. After arranging for someone to send the equipment back, they bid farewell to the prosperous coastal city of Qizhou and boarded the flight back to the studio.
…
What they don't know is.
As the exhibition came to an end, the images of their activities at the exhibition also caused a stir on major related websites.
Especially the scenes of the God Card and the two mysterious dragons appearing, which have swept all video websites.
"Oh my god! Is this something that appeared at the comic convention today?"
"This is so fucking shocking! It's almost hitting the ceiling!"
"Just watching the video makes my blood boil. I don't know how explosive the live effect will be."
"Especially the last scene where the two gods descended, it was simply divine!"
"Is this the new card game that Honghuang recently launched? It's so awesome!"
"Fuck! My chuunibyou soul is on fire just by looking at this!"
As the most powerful existence in the first part of the "Yu-Gi-Oh" anime, the God Card's appearance is undoubtedly quite explosive.
Even people who have not watched the anime can feel a visual impact from the terrifying atmosphere on the scene.
You don’t even need to buy entries.
There were several hot searches related to "Yu-Gi-Oh!", and it made its way into the top 20 of the search list.
Even the anime exclusively broadcast on Bilibili have ushered in another round of viewing frenzy.
In just one day, its popularity surpassed that of other anime promoted this season, which shocked the top management of Bilibili and caused them to hold an emergency meeting.
As the person who introduced this animation, Su Peng naturally received praise from the directors.
He was so happy that his mouth was crooked.
"Manager Su is really good at this. Not only did he get the exclusive broadcasting rights for Resident Evil, but even the performance of the animation section is enviable."
After the meeting, senior executives from other departments came up to congratulate Su Peng.
They knew very well that after this meeting, Su Peng's status in the board of directors would be even higher, and his voice in the branch would become increasingly stronger in the future, and no one could easily shake it.
"Okay, okay, I'm just lucky."
Su Peng responded modestly with a smile on his face.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first. There are still a lot of things waiting for me to deal with over there."
After saying that, he left.
Only a few senior executives were left standing there, watching his back gradually disappearing into the distance.
for a long time.
One of them said with emotion: "Sure enough, this year's market situation is different from previous years. The proportion of the gaming market is much larger."
As they all worked under the same roof, they certainly knew very well how Su Peng had climbed up step by step from a small supervisor to his current position.
It's nothing more than riding on the express train of the gaming market.
But it has to be said that the recent rise in the gaming market is indeed very strong, and it almost caught them off guard.
Not just them.
I'm afraid that many people in the entire live broadcast and video industry have not yet reacted to this change.
"It seems we have to change our strategy and find possible."
"Indeed, we can't let Su Peng take all the limelight. "
"It just so happens that I have this plan as well, and I have been talking to several companies recently."
"Are you already discussing it? Old Jiang, you are very fast."
Several people turned around and left while talking, and disappeared outside the meeting room in a short while.
…
In a blink of an eye.
Two days passed.
Just when the topic of "Yu-Gi-Oh" was getting heatedly discussed online.
Two announcements were updated successively under the Honghuang account.
[New game notice: The card battle game "Yu-Gi-Oh!" will be launched tomorrow at 10:00! It supports multi-platform login, online battles, and AR devices. Please visit the official website for details. ]
[Anime update: The second part of the anime of the same name, "Yu-Gi-Oh! GX", will be released simultaneously with the game. Log in to station B to watch it first! ]
"Here it comes! The new game is finally here!"
"After waiting for so many days, are you finally willing to let him go?"
"I'm sick of watching those animals show off their real cards these past few days."
“Go, go, go! I’ll be in the second part of the anime!”
"When the second part comes out, the game should also add new cards, right?"
"Never mind, let's build a dragon deck first!"
As soon as the announcement was made, a large number of comments emerged, pushing the popularity of these two pieces of news up.
Many players who have watched the live broadcast of the exhibition have already been eager to enter the official website to check the content that will be available after the new game is launched, and prepare to download the game as soon as possible tomorrow.
After two days of discussion, Chen Lin and his team finally decided to go the card collection route, and temporarily only open a few trial decks to players.
Players can accumulate points to redeem card packs and collect the cards they want by dueling with people or NPCs.
In this way.
They can also experience the joy of building a deck by themselves.
And I have a sense of superiority that you don't have.
Even if you don’t want to recharge, you can still get the card deck you want by working hard.
It just takes a little more time.
"The bulk of our game's profits come mainly from real card sales, followed by in-app purchases and recharges, so we have ."
In the conference room, Chen Lin spoke to the managers below.
They now have more and more offline products, so it is naturally impossible to just ask a few people to pack and ship them.
There must be a department specifically responsible for this.
After all, card packs are sold in the tens of thousands at a time, and shipped all over the country, so it's impossible for just a few people to handle it.
"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I have considered this before."
Lao Song next to him said, "In order to increase efficiency, I have discussed with the card manufacturer and have them ship directly from the manufacturer. This way, they don't have to go through us, which can save a lot of manpower."
"They can also do this?" Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
Honghuang is a game studio after all, and its main business is making games and shooting CG.
It would be best if other additional business could be outsourced.
It also prevents the internal structure from becoming too redundant and difficult to manage.
"Yes, we have already discussed it." Old Song nodded, "They are doing this now. In addition to us, they have also outsourced shipments for several other companies. Their ability is not a problem, and I have also negotiated the price."
As the second-in-command of Honghuang, his ability to get things done is impeccable.
When Chen Lin and his team attended the exhibition, all possible things had already been dealt with, eliminating many worries.
Hearing this, Chen Lin smiled and said, "That's good. It saves us a lot of effort. If there is nothing else, let's end today's meeting here."
After that, all the managers stood up and left the meeting room with their notebooks.
In a blink of an eye, only Lao Song and Lao Li were left in the conference room.
This is their routine. After the meeting, they will hold a small internal meeting to discuss the development direction of the studio.
But what surprised Chen Lin this time was that Old Song brought different news.
"I don't know if you have heard that a few days ago, a big thing happened in Huanhai and Xingyou."
Old Song's voice was a little low, and he couldn't help but glance at Chen Lin.
"Huan Hai and Xing You? What happened to them? I haven't heard from them for a long time." Old Li next to him took over the conversation and asked.
really.
During this period, they have been busy dealing with suppression from big companies and almost forgot about these two old rivals.
" It's not . It's just that there was a problem with Huanhai's internal structure, which caused the capital chain to break. Several shareholders left, and even Xingyou was affected."
"Is there such a thing?" Chen Lin raised his eyebrows slightly.
He had only been out for a few days, but he didn't expect such a big thing to happen inside Huanhai.
Although I had heard similar news before, I couldn't help but feel sad when it really happened.
Old Li next to him slammed the table and said, "Good thing they died! I've been annoyed with them for a long time!"
Unexpectedly, Old Song immediately poured a bucket of cold water on him: "Don't be too happy too soon, this matter is not as simple as you think."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Chen Lin asked.
"I just received news that more than 60% of Huanhai's shares have been bought by Penguin."
"Penguin..."
Chen Lin fell into silence after hearing this.
Although the penguins in this life are not as exaggerated as those in the previous life, they are still overlord-level existences.
Because it's more than just a gaming company.
It is also a capital enterprise covering various Internet industries.
With the influx of such capital, although Huanhai lost its autonomy, it was reborn.
If he guessed correctly.
Penguin is about to fully enter the gaming field.
Now that Penguin has arrived, the other companies that can compete with it will certainly not sit idly by and watch. They are probably already looking for their own pawns to enter the market.
