Chapter 386 Dragon Head
Seeing the name of the caller, Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
Then he made a silent gesture, connected the phone, and turned on the speakerphone.
“Hello, Chairman Jiang.”
Gu Sheng said hello with a relaxed tone, not at all solemn as in the meeting just now.
From the opposite side, Jiang Yingcai’s voice also came out:
“Hey, Mr. Gu, I didn’t disturb you, did I?”
“No, no, haha,”
Gu Sheng smiled:
“What instructions does Chairman Jiang have?”
“Hey—how can we talk about instructions, hahaha,”
Jiang Yingcai also knew that Gu Sheng was joking and laughed, then paused and said:
“But there is indeed something I want to talk to you about today.”
Here comes.
Hearing this, Gu Sheng's spirit was shaken, and all the Golden Wind executives present also straightened their bodies and concentrated their attention.
Everyone knows what the sudden call from China Entertainment Technology means at this time.
ˆ Admittedly, Vice President Moritani is indeed well-informed. Even though he has left Comella for a long time, he can still get information about the price adjustment of Fantasy.
However, as the only semi-official leading organization in China, it is not difficult for Huayidian to grasp similar information.
Jiang Yingcai would not bother them if nothing happened.
Typically visit the Three Treasures Hall for nothing.
Now, just at this moment, Jiang Yingcai called.
What to say is naturally self-evident.
Gu Sheng nodded: "Chairman Jiang, please speak."
“Well…where should I start…”
After a deep groan, Jiang Yingcai thought for a moment and spoke slowly:
“That’s right, Mr. Gu, I don’t know if you have heard any news about the price adjustment of the American Fantasy Engine Company recently.”
“Well, I heard some rumors,”
Gu Sheng’s answer was a bit ambiguous, and he wanted to hear what Jiang Yingcai knew about the situation:
"But it's not quite accurate. Chairman Jiang, you know that. I'm generally not very interested in this kind of gossip, so...is it true?"
“Hehehe, um—”
Hearing this, Jiang Yingcai on the phone gave a wry smile:
“Mr. Gu, the news this time is really not the rumors that just follow the wind and rain in the past. According to what we have learned, this time, Huanmeng’s price adjustment policy can be said to be finalized..."
Said.
Jiang Yingcai told Gu Sheng exactly what he had learned.
The information obtained by Moriya is basically the same.
In other words, Huanmeng has made a final decision on this price adjustment and it is inevitable.
Their golden wind, and even the neck of the entire Chinese game industry, is stuck.
“…and the impact goes beyond that,”
Jiang Yingcai said:
“You must know that this time Huan Meng’s differentiated treatment targets ‘all enterprises registered in China’,”
“You may not know it well, but over the years, as Chinese game companies led by your Golden Wind have emerged in the world, our market environment can be said to be getting better and better,”
“Not only our own companies, such as Yiyou, Fury, Tianlang, etc., are making rapid progress internationally,”
“The development of the market and the tilt of policies have also attracted the favor of investors from many other countries, such as Singapore, Malaysia, and even Qatar in West Asia, who have participated or are preparing to participate in our development to a certain extent. Come in,"
"but,"
“With the news now leaking out, many interested investment groups have chosen to wait and see,”
“Not only the gaming industry, but also some related high-tech industries are also worried about being affected and have also postponed the pace of registered investment,”
“The above is paying more attention to this situation now,”
“And as your flagship company, Golden Wind, no matter its position or weight, I don’t need to say more, right?”
Hear the words!
Gu Sheng took a slow breath.
What Jiang Yingcai said was obviously something he had not thought of just now.
indeed.
Today's Golden Wind is no longer the small workshop that had "a dozen people and seven or eight guns" back then.
ˆ As they have been featured in China Daily for the fourth time and are officially hailed as “representatives of emerging national enterprises”, they are now shouldering not only their own profit and loss, but also social responsibilities.
This is inevitable.
The so-called rights and obligations are complementary to each other.
Since they enjoy the rights that a flagship leader deserves, they should naturally fulfill their obligations.
Although speaking of it, it is a bit outrageous, and even a bit unbelievable, that a company with a current volume of less than 10 billion has become the industry's flagship leader.
But it is what it is.
Otherwise!
Yunwei Vivendi, who supports Huanmeng behind the scenes, why didn’t they sanction them earlier or later? But after their Golden Wind launched the first “Call of Duty”, which can be called the flagship milestone of the next era of FPS, they, and even the entire Will China's gaming industry impose differentiated sanctions?
Obviously.
This matter is due to their golden wind!
This doesn’t just mean that Yunwei covets the priceless IP in their hands!
It also means that the capital organization with Vivendi as its core does not allow China to rise in this rapidly developing industry.
The game market in China is too big, but now, this market that should have been left to them to take and take away is deviating from its "positioning".
This point, not to mention game sales, can be seen just from the market share of the somatosensory cabin—
Three years ago, when Golden Wind was founded, the somatosensory cabins owned by the two comprehensive gaming giants Yunwei and Comela accounted for a combined market share of 52% in China.
Up to now, three and a half years after Golden Wind was established, the domestic market share of Yiyou and Xunteng, two domestic somatosensory cabins, has reached an astonishing 68%!
In less than four years, the two international giants have been defeated one after another, and their market share has also shrunk.
From the very beginning, they deserved half of the world, but now, together, they can barely hold a third of the world with Yiyou and Xunteng.
As for the game.
Let alone.
Shangyue Jingzheng didn’t want to talk, and neither did Kaunik. Let’s find out the reason.
Everything is inseparable from the golden wind.
China's industry must be suppressed, and the golden wind must die.
This is the fundamental purpose of this fantasy price adjustment strategy.
Speaking of this, Jiang Yingcai said:
“As the flagship leader of China…”
…
“…This position should be given to you two, please take a seat, Mr. Shen.”
“...That’s right, Mr. Gu, we are not outsiders here today, so you’re welcome. Come and sit down.”
The next day!
On this matter, China Entertainment Television took the lead and organized a private meeting.
The participants included not only heavyweight manufacturers such as Yiyou and Xunteng.
Medium-sized manufacturers such as Jiahua Games, Phantom Technology, Qunfeng Technology, and Gale Studios also sent their responsible representatives to participate.
At the head of such a large conference table are naturally the current Chairman Jiang Yingcai and Vice Chairman Zheng Yingzi of China Entertainment Television.
Opposite the main seat, Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao were being "held hostage" by Yan Sheng and Chen Guangde to sit down.
Logically speaking, this is the first place for manufacturer representatives. If it were placed in the past, this position must have been that of Yiyou and Xunteng. The two largest comprehensive game companies in China sit here, which can be said to be their responsibilities.
But now.
As soon as they arrived at the venue, Chen Guangde and Yan Sheng seemed to have agreed upon it, and they brought Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao, who were attending the meeting, to the first seat.
It made the Gu family and his wife look like they were wearing yellow robes.
"Why-"
Gu Sheng was forced to sit down by Chen Guangde. He looked at little Nezha next to him, shook his head and smiled bitterly:
“Let me take this seat, Mr. Chen and Mr. Yan, you have really caused me harm...”
“It’s called the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.”
Yan Sheng laughed and said:
“Director Shen, Mr. Gu, this matter is not trivial. Even the upper management attaches great importance to it. Neither I nor Lao Chen is suitable to sit in this position.”
“Yes, yes,”
Chen Guangde also nodded repeatedly:
"Now that our brothers in China are able to take charge domestically and gain a firm foothold internationally, we all know where our confidence comes from and what we rely on. Mr. Gu and Director Shen, please stop trying to shirk it. , we focus on solving problems.”
Here, the two major manufacturers said this, and on the side, medium-sized manufacturers such as Phantom Technology and Gale Studio also followed suit:
“Yes, Mr. Gu, now everyone has no idea and they all want a backbone.”
“That’s right, their fantasy went too far this time. They are obviously coming for us. Mr. Gu, you need to make a decision.”
“Mr. Chen is right, we are all here to solve problems. Don’t worry about this position, Director Shen. Just sit still.”
"Indeed, sit still, sit still..."
…”
Under all the chatter!
Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao looked at each other and nodded in acquiescence, firmly taking their positions as the leader of the manufacturer.
Then, not long after, with the two presidents Jiang Yingcai and Zheng Yingzi in place, the meeting began.
Since today's meeting is not a formal public meeting, Jiang Yingcai did not have too many opening remarks at the beginning. He went straight to the point and talked about the current situation first.
…“…without a doubt,”
Jiang Yingcai said:
“The current situation, in the words of the leader, is urgent.”
Hearing this, all the manufacturer representatives shrank their necks.
Everyone knows what level Jiang Yingcai refers to as "leader".
And the big leaders have already used the term "urgent", which is enough to prove how seriously the above-mentioned people take this situation.
“So, the most urgent priority now is to break the shackles, break through the blockade, and embark on a new path of independent research and development in China in the shortest possible time. This is not only related to the life and death of our own emerging industries, but also attracts investment. The best opportunity to show the speed of our country, "
As he spoke, Jiang Yingcai raised his eyes from his conference book and looked at the manufacturer representatives present:
“Now I want to know, among the manufacturers here, which one has self-developed engine technology?”
As soon as this statement came out.
All the representatives, you look at me, I look at you.
In the end, only Chen Guangde raised his hand:
“We have…”
As the only company in the field that has a self-developed engine.
Logically speaking, Chen Guangde should be extremely proud at this time.
But in fact, not only was there no pride on his face now, but he was actually a little embarrassed.
Because of their engine...
It has not been updated for almost 800 years.
Yes.
"Fire Shuttle" developed by Tianlang Studio uses the shimmer engine developed by the Xunteng team.
but!
This engine has been around almost ten years ago, and it is the "ancestral engine" of the Xundo family.
Moreover, because even if FireWire Shuttle does not update the engine, players have still paid for it. Therefore, in order to save trouble, during the subsequent process of transplanting the somatosensory cabin of FireWire Shuttle, the engine was also transplanted to the somatosensory cabin end, making it easier for them to save money. copy.
As for the plan to update the engine, it was delayed again and again, so that no one mentioned updating the engine anymore.
And this!
It is actually the only self-developed engine currently in the hands of many game manufacturers in China.
"Um…"
Hearing this, Jiang Yingcai nodded, waved his hand towards Chen Guangde, and turned his gaze to Gu Sheng, who was frowning in thought:
“Mr. Gu, do you have any ideas?”
