Chapter 298: Pixel games as escort?
Back to the office.
Chen Lin quickly clicked on the list of plans on the computer.
I have been working on PC and console versions before, and this time I suddenly want to work on mobile versions, so I have to think of suitable games.
Don't say.
Think of mobile games.
There are quite a lot of options to choose from.
If we talk about the most popular ones in the last life, those would probably be them.
But none of them were his choices, because many opportunities to become popular were too subtle and not available here, and...
[Phase 9: 10 billion wealth value, 50 million sales games x3]
[Reward: Unknown]
Chen Lin took a look at what was needed for the ninth stage.
Needless to say, the wealth value has been reached long ago.
But it takes 3 games to achieve 50 million sales!
He doesn’t even have 1 model now!
The closest one is "Red Dead Redemption", which just exceeded 40 million.
There are only a dozen games on the market with sales of over 50 million. The fact that he took out three of them really shows that he is a great honor.
As expected, it becomes increasingly difficult as time goes on.
"What should I choose? One that has both good sales and can be used as a mobile game..."
Chen Lin tapped the table with his fingers, looking through the list of solutions and online consultations out of boredom.
To be honest, he was not willing to release a game of this level so casually, as he always felt that something was missing.
All I can say is this damn sense of ritual.
until……
A burst of hurried footsteps came from outside.
"Mr. Chen, someone from Juying wants to see you."
Xiaoli appeared in the office and said hurriedly.
"Super hard? What do they want to see me for? Do you know who they are?" Chen Lin asked puzzledly.
"The person in charge of the Chinese area is Tang Jun!"
It turned out to be him.
Chen Lin suddenly understood.
Last time, because of the Carter incident, the other party came to Honghuang once and showed enough sincerity to resolve the conflict between the two sides.
Now, in a blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.
Visiting again is probably not a trivial matter.
"Okay, I understand. Let's take him to the reception room first."
Now Old Song is far away abroad and it will probably take him ten days or half a month to come back. This kind of thing can only be handled by him himself.
After tidying himself up, he got up and left.
When I arrived at the reception room, I saw Tang Jun sitting there drinking tea. He walked in with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Tang, how are you?"
Hearing the noise, Tang Jun put down his teacup and stood up with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Chen, it's been a long time since we last met. I'm here to bother you again."
After not seeing him for a year, Tang Jun is still as energetic and looks much more energetic.
However, Chen Lin carefully noticed a hint of worry in his eyes and immediately became confused.
"No, sit down first."
He made a gesture of invitation and sat down opposite the sofa. While pouring tea, he asked, "I haven't seen Mr. Tang for a long time. I wonder why you suddenly came to visit me?"
Tang Jun hesitated for a moment, picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said helplessly: "To be honest, I came here to seek help."
"Help? Even a wealthy and powerful person like Juying needs help from others?"
"Mr. Chen, you are joking. Although we have abundant funds, some things cannot be accomplished simply by having a lot of money. You also know that among the three console companies, we entered the market the latest, and we relied on huge investments to fill the gap. Our foundation is far inferior to that of the other two companies."
Just as Tang Jun said.
Although Juying is known as one of the three major brands, it is still a little behind the two old brands, Soni and Rentiandi.
He just got in here because he has a lot of money.
The console market accounts for less than 20%.
Tang Jun was sent here to develop the Asian market.
But unfortunately.
This is the territory of Suo Ni and Ren Tiandi.
Because those two companies are Japanese companies and have established deep roots in Asia for many years.
It’s not so difficult to be super tough in other continents, but here, you can’t do whatever you want just because you have a lot of money.
What's more, the capital of those two companies is not weak.
"Boss Tang thinks too highly of us. We are just a game studio. How can Honghuang help us against an opponent that even Juhan can't handle?"
After listening to the other party's explanation, Chen Lin couldn't help but say.
If he had the ability to occupy the console market, he would have done it long ago. Why would he have the turn to help others?
"Mr. Chen, what are you talking about? Honghuang has a great influence internationally now. On my way back to the headquarters last time, I heard someone mention your games. And I came here this time just to ask for a game."
"Ask for a game?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen must have heard that we are going to launch the third generation console, which will be released at the end of September. To do this, we need a game to escort and promote sales, that is, to escort the masterpiece!"
hiss……
Chen Lin took a deep breath and finally understood why the other party was looking for him.
But the problem is that there are only four months left until the end of September.
Where did he get a masterpiece?
"I know this is a bit difficult, but there is no other way. Sony and Ren Tiandi will definitely not let us promote it so easily. At that time, they will definitely release a new generation of consoles and escort masterpieces to snipe us. So I want to come here to ask, does Honghuang have any masterpieces that are about to be completed? All prices are negotiable!"
It can be seen that Tang Jun was really pushed into a corner.
It is even possible that they have visited major game companies at home and abroad, otherwise they would not have come to Honghuang.
After all, there are still many top game manufacturers in the world.
Although Hong Huang is well-known in the country, its international popularity is far behind.
The new generation of consoles will be promoted globally, so the global sales of games must be taken into consideration, not just in Asia.
"What about your branches in other continents? Haven't found suitable games either?" Chen Lin asked.
"Originally, there was, but some problems arose and it was temporarily cancelled, so it was so rushed." Tang Jun answered frankly.
"Is that so..." Chen Lin fell into deep thought.
I have to say, he was very excited.
If they can win this title, with the help of strong promotion, it will undoubtedly be a huge help to them in making a name for themselves in overseas markets.
And deep down, he hoped that there would be a host company that could suppress those two Japanese companies.
But the problem is.
Only four months.
Excluding the project finalization and preliminary preparations, it only took three and a half months in total.
It is extremely difficult to come up with a game that is not inferior to the other two masterpieces in such a short time.
And he heard.
Nintendo's flagship game this year will most likely be Mario's latest sequel. Even among the many stand-alone games they have, only Big Cousin can narrowly beat it.
That is to say.
He has to at least play a game at the level of his older cousin.
And it will take more than three months to complete...
This is nothing short of a fantasy for other manufacturers and is simply impossible to accomplish.
But a game gradually emerged in Chen Lin’s mind, and only that game could achieve this miracle that no one else could!
The most important thing.
It is also suitable for mobile phone transplantation.
It is definitely the only choice nowadays!
Thinking of this, he suddenly laughed.
When Tang Jun saw this smile, he thought it was a laugh at him for being too demanding, and immediately frowned.
"You still can't do it?"
Yes.
It is simply a pipe dream to make a game that can compete with the big games in more than three months.
How could it be such a coincidence to come across a project that is just about to be completed and released?
"In that case, I'll go ask other companies. I just hope that with the technical support from our headquarters, we can find a suitable game."
Tang Jun said this and prepared to get up and say goodbye.
"Wait a minute!"
Unexpectedly, Chen Lin suddenly stopped him, his eyes burning: "You just said... Juying headquarters will provide technical support? Including hardware support? "
What you need will come to you.
He was a little hesitant at first, but after hearing this, he finally made up his mind that this escort masterpiece must be taken!
"Uh... the headquarters attaches great importance to the launch of this new product. If Honghuang needs it, I can naturally apply for it, and even invite someone to come over for special guidance. Does Mr. Chen have a suitable game?"
As Tang Jun spoke, his eyes lit up.
As long as we can produce the game, there is room for negotiation.
Although Honghuang lacks influence internationally, he still highly recognizes Honghuang's strength.
"There is indeed a game, but it is quite special. It is up to you whether you dare to use it."
"Oh? What's the special method?"
"Because it's a pixel game!"
…
final.
Tang Jun still left.
No one knows what he talked about with Chen Lin.
The expression on his face was also very strange. He looked excited and a little nervous, as if he was in a hurry to go back to do something, and he left in a hurry.
As for Chen Lin.
He went outside, called Lao Li, and asked him to gather all the department heads into the conference room.
"Mr. Chen, I heard that you just talked to that extremely tough guy for a long time. Did something serious happen?"
In the conference room, Lao Li asked the first question.
This is also what others present wanted to ask.
After all, this is the first time that they have been called here in such a hurry.
"Well, there is indeed a big announcement to be made."
Chen Lin stood in the first position with a serious expression: "Just now, I have already reached an agreement with Juying. We will provide the escort masterpiece for the third generation of Xbox platform!"
Wow——
As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar in the conference room.
Including Lao Li, everyone's eyes were wide open.
"Mr. Chen...Mr. Chen, are you serious?" A Guang from the art team asked in shock.
"Escort Masterpiece! We actually managed to negotiate this?"
"Didn't they already talk to another foreign manufacturer?"
"And there are only more than three months left until the release of the third-generation console."
“This, this, this…”
The entire conference room was noisy, like a vegetable market.
Everyone's expressions were different, including shock, disbelief, confusion, worry, excitement, etc.
It wasn't until a few minutes later that the discussion finally died down.
Seeing this, Chen Lin continued, "I know you have a lot of doubts in your hearts, but I can tell you responsibly that the game we are going to make next can definitely be completed within three months."
"ah?"
All the employees were filled with questions.
Make a masterpiece in three months?
Isn't this a bit of an exaggeration?
