Judging from the historical development trajectory, Myron Keyes is more than 90% similar to the Steve Jobs whom Zhu Youxing knew in his previous life.
He single-handedly founded a powerful electronics industry company and released several top-notch products.
And then he also had pretty good foresight.
It is foreseen that electronic products will gradually develop towards miniaturization and portability in the future, and smartphones will have a great future.
However, he also has a development trajectory that is different from Steve Jobs.
That is, after he was kicked out of Hongguo Company, he chose not to start an animation company.
He continued to stick to his choice and make electronic products.
This may be influenced by the butterfly Zhuyouxing.
Jobs was initially disliked by Apple's shareholders at the time because of his not-so-good temper and some business strategies, and was kicked out.
Perhaps Jobs, who was kicked out at the time, felt frustrated, but not too strongly, so after being kicked out, he chose to engage in another technology industry that was also in its infancy: 3D modeling and animation, and created the world's first
3D feature-length animation: Toy Story.
Later, the animation company developed by Jobs became bigger and bigger, and Apple became worse and worse due to poor management. Later, Jobs invited the Dragon King to return and lead Apple to glory again.
This is a relatively standard Wang Daoshuang story.
But in this world, Myron Keyes was kicked out of business competition.
Myron Case was kicked out of the company because he was not competing for the upper hand in the video game business market at that time, and his products were obviously not competitive enough. He was considered by shareholders not to be a qualified CEO.
After the Myron Keys of this world was kicked out, it was more of a reluctance.
He thinks his path is right, but the idiots at Hongguo Company only think about immediate profits.
So in that case, I will prove it to you and prove that my path is right.
So he resolutely founded Mickford to produce and operate portable music players, smart phones, and personal computers.
In the end, he succeeded, but he also lacked some things that Steve Jobs experienced in his previous life.
So he doesn't have a deep understanding of how useful cartoons can be.
If it were Steve Jobs in his previous life, after watching Cyberpunk Edgewalker, he might have foreseen that this animation would have a very drastic impact, at least on video games.
It's just that Myron Keys didn't foresee it because he didn't have the concept.
"Hey, why are you going?"
In Mickford's game development department, the young man took a document and was about to leave. The head of the department immediately stopped the young man.
That young man is a popular person in the department recently.
Together with several friends, he created a technology that can randomly generate infinite worlds, adding infinite exploration fun to the game.
However, the development of this kind of infinite world technology still requires sufficient financial support, and it cannot be done by just a few young people, so they sought help from Mickford to help them develop the game they imagined.
Myron Keys is very optimistic about it, and so is the person in charge.
The young man was stopped. He turned around and saw that the head of the department was calling him. He immediately said happily: "I want to report to Boss Myron Keith on my recent game development progress. Because of your help, boss and superior, we are here."
The development is progressing very quickly, and we can already make a demo of the game."
The head of the department felt relieved when he heard this. This young man still has great ideals, and he was very happy to create a game development environment for such ideal people.
I'm very happy that he has achieved results, but...
"Don't go to the boss yet. The boss is not in a good mood recently."
"Ah? Why? We seem to have a lot of good games online recently. I have played these games. They are all good games. Could it be that... they are not selling well?"
"Well, it's not just that the sales are poor, there are also reasons for the poor sales. The boss has been in a bad mood recently because of this reason."
The head of the department remembered that he went to report to his boss the day before yesterday, and his boss looked gloomy.
Today he will look at the sales of several games as of today, and he will not dare to disturb the boss anymore.
We have to wait at least a few days before talking.
"Reason? What reason?" the young man asked carefully.
"Because of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment, they used a promotional method that they had never used before, which caused the game that had been declining in sales to suddenly rebound sharply, and it also occupied an absolute hot topic on social networks, affecting our game
sales volume.”
There is no need to hide this kind of thing from this young man. Anyway, some game media will probably talk about it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
Cyberpunk 2077 has once again bucked the trend, and the game's sales have returned to the top of the list on the Battle.net platform.
After a long time, the game's sales fell out of the top ten in weekly sales, but because of the Cyberpunk Edgewalker cartoon, the game returned to the top of the list.
Generally speaking, to be ranked at the top of Battle.net, you need to have hundreds of thousands or even millions of sales.
A game that has been released for more than two months can still stay at the top of the list. Only Yuxing Electronic Entertainment can have such strength.
"Boss, are you talking about...Cyberpunk 2077?"
"Well, that's right. You also pay attention to this game, right?"
"Of course, this game is the ceiling of the current gaming industry, even though it is our competitor."
The head of the department said: "So, because this game is selling well and squeezing our game sales space, the boss is very depressed and angry now, so you can go to him later."
The young man said with some reluctance: "But this should be regarded as good news to the boss. There is new progress in game development here."
"Now I'm afraid that my boss will be angry when he hears about video games, so I suggest you don't ask for trouble."
"Okay, then I'll listen to you, boss." The young man finally compromised, and the boss's words did make sense.
Then the two chatted for a while about Cyberpunk 2077.
Even he, the head of Mickford's game department, approves of Cyberpunk 2077 developed by his competitors.
There is no doubt that Cyberpunk 2077 is the current ceiling for video games.
But he wanted to look at the game from the perspective of a game developer, hoping to learn something from it.
The two of them really thought carefully about the various advantages of this game for a while to see if they could be applied to current game development.
During this process, the young man asked with some concern: "Boss, do you think the boss will reduce the capital investment of our department because of this attack?"
The young man is obviously worried about whether his investment in developing games will be reduced. His random world is still a bit expensive, and it will cost at least ten to twenty million US dollars.
He uses a system called programmed random generation, and research also costs a lot of money.
"You don't have to worry about this. This loss is an accident. It just disrupted some of the original boss's plans. It won't be enough to reduce investment."
Myron Keys is not short-sighted, and he also knows that this accident has nothing to do with the quality of the game.
"That's good, that's good." The young man breathed a sigh of relief.
