v2 Chapter 616： World game industry pattern

Due to the time difference, when the plane arrived at Xiangjiang, it was only 7:20 in the morning. When Xia Yu came out of the passage, he suddenly saw He Chaoqiong, who was looking forward to a row of convoys, and when Xia Yu came out, He Chaoqiong completely abandoned the reserved girl , Cheering and rushing towards Xia Yu.

Li Qian subconsciously took the things in Xia Yu's hand and gave Xia Yu a questioning smile. Xia Yu walked quickly towards He Chaoqiong, hugged her who was rushing over, and circled the place where she was, her pink skirt posing The sky keeps moving.

"Chao Qiong, why are you here? It's only after 7 o'clock, how many points did you get up?"

He Chaoqiong's face was full of joy, he looked at Xia Yu lovingly, and said sweetly: "Knowing that you are coming back today, where I could sleep last night, I miss you so much."

After speaking, Zhu's lips were lightened, and his joy was revealed.

"I miss you so much."

The girl's love from the heart touched Xia Yu's heart, hugged her tightly, and said softly.

After a brief warmth, He Chaoqiong's mood calmed down, and he watched his surroundings with concern.

When he saw Li Qian standing aside and looking at herself with a smile, He Chaoqiong blushed, struggling to get off Xia Yu, and whispered: "Sister."

Li Qian responded with a smile, then took a small gift box from the bag and presented it in front of He Chaoqiong, and said softly: "Sister, this is a gift I brought back from London for you. I hope you like it."

"Thank you sister..."

Xia Yu smiled when the two women were in good relationship.

Sweeping around, all of his subordinates looked at him wittily, but many people who just got off the plane behind looked at him, and some even recognized him.

Realizing that staying here is not good, Xia Yu said to Li Qian and He Chaoqiong: "Xiqian, Chaoqiong, there are too many people here, let's go home first."

"Hmm!"

"Listen to you!"

Then, Xia Yu said to Liu Xiao and others: "You also go home first. I haven't been home for half a year. Go home to accompany your family and return to the company for a meeting in three days."

"The cars are coming, let them take you to your door."

"thank you boss!"

Liu Xiao and others were excited and thanked in unison.

After that, everyone got on the car and split into two groups at the intersection. Xia Yu first took Li Qian and He Chaoqiong back to the villa that belonged to him and his own woman.

It was not until the afternoon that Xia Yu went home to reunite with his family.

The next day, he officially started to work to deal with the things accumulated during the months of leaving Xiangjiang.

Although the chairman's office headed by Huo Jianning is coordinating things, Huo Jianning will contact him through international long-distance, remote control command to ensure the normal operation of many of its companies.

But there are some tasks that are really difficult to explain on the phone and are difficult to handle, so they can only be piled up until now.

After processing the files for an hour, Xia Yu got lazy and asked Li Qian to call Huo Jianning and bring him the investigation data of the video game industry.

"Chairman, this is the situation in the video game industry I collected!"

As soon as Huo Jianning came in, he presented a thick stack of documents to Xia Yu and waited quietly.

Seeing such a thick stack, Xia Yu was very satisfied, not to mention other things, just by looking at the appearance, Huo Jianning has done a very solid job.

Realizing that it would take at least a few hours, Xia Yu asked Huo Jianning to continue to work, and he read it.

Drinking tea, looking at the information, time flies quickly.

Finally, after reading the last page, Xia Yu rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, and already had a detailed picture of the global video game industry market in his mind.

In the world electronic game industry at this time, there are three types of games, namely computer games, console games and arcade games.

The first type of computer game, as the name suggests, was a game played on a computer. Yes, in 1979, there were already computer games.

But the key point is that although the computers in the world are computers, in fact, most of them are game consoles. They are sold as TVs. Although there are some computer functions in them, the most important purpose of customers buying is to play simple games on the computer.

Xia Yu remembers that it wasn't until 1981 that IBM launched the world's first personal computer in a real sense.

Therefore, the computers before this were not widely available at all, and their limitations were great.

Due to factors such as the price and functional limitations of computers, the market for computer games is still relatively small at this time. Game giants generally give up and leave it to small game companies that specialize in developing computer games.

The second type of console games is also called home game consoles and TV games. This market is huge. Think about the huge number of TVs in the world, and you can see its huge market.

This market is also the most competitive market. The most famous of these is the Atari Company of the United States, the world's dominant game industry. In 1977 alone, it invested more than 100 million US dollars to research a Game console-Atari2600.

In addition to Atari, there are some companies on the second front, such as Sega, Nintendo, and Nangong Dream.

The third type of arcade games is also very competitive, but now Taidong Company is leading the way, beating all arcade game companies in the world.

Taidong Company is an import and export company established by Ukrainian Jew Mikhail Kogang in 1950. Taidong means "Far East Jewish Company", and its main business is to sell vodka imported from the Soviet Union in island countries.

Under unexpected circumstances, Taidong entered the electronic game market.

Just last year, Taidong Company developed the arcade game "Space Invaders", and it went viral. In a year, it sold more than 150,000 units in the US market, plus sales in Europe and island countries. More than 200,000 units, total sales of more than 500 million US dollars, and net profit of more than 100 million US dollars.

By this year, "Space Invaders" is still hot, and it has continuously grabbed wealth for Taidong Company.

In the arcade market, Sega is under Taidong Company.

In the impression, Xia Yu thought that Sega, one of the four giants of the console game industry in the future generations, was an island company. After reading the information, he knew that this was not the case at this time.

At this time, Sega was still an American company.

Sega was founded by David Rosen, an American soldier who retired from the 38th line to the island country. At the beginning, relying on his relationship with the military, he sold slot machines, pachinko machines and other entertainment equipment to the military The soldiers at the US base are relieved.

Later, David Rosen felt that when the profit of the second trafficker was not large enough, he developed an explosive pachinko machine called "periscope", which was sold well in island countries, and was shipped to the United States, and then registered the United States Sega in the United States. , Holding the island country Sega Corporation.

Then in 1966, David Rosen sold Sega America to the American Overseas and Western Industrial Corporation, which was engaged in "entertainment and mass media".

With the help of the energy of overseas and western industrial companies, Sega's sales channels in the United States have been established very well.

It's a pity that after Taidong's "Space Invaders" came out, the island country Sega was in a dilemma. At this time, the business situation was not good, and there were signs that the US Overseas and Western Industrial Corporations were leaving.

In addition to Taidong Company and Sega Company, another famous company in the arcade market is Nangong Dream Game Company. This company only entered the video game industry in 1974. It has developed several arcade games. In "Space Invaders" Before it appeared, the sales situation was good, but now it is a little worse, and it is stepping up the development of new games, hoping to break the rule of "Space Invaders".

As for the later game industry hegemon, Sony did not get involved in the video game industry at this time.

According to the survey report, it can already be known that the world's electronic game industry has three levels.

The first level is the two giants, Taidong Company in the arcade game market, and Atari Company in the console game market.

The second level is Sega, Nintendo, and Nangong Dream.

The third level is other video game companies.
