In several game stores with the largest concentration of players across the United States, there is a selected StarCraft player.
Like Li Mingzhe, they can perform excellent fighting effects.
And with the leader taking the lead, many players who saw this operation almost unanimously thought that they could do the same thing.
Even if they haven't bought the game yet, they have already constructed in their minds the image of themselves galloping across the battlefield and killing everyone in the game.
While fantasizing like this, I also chuckled happily in my heart, thinking that I could also perform the same operation.
After a player performed a very effective game scene, the players' desire to buy was immediately boosted.
Outside the door, some people who had no interest in StarCraft began to line up to buy the game.
Soon, the game's sales for the day were announced.
Sales of 500,000 on the first day.
This is already a pretty good result.
Although it is not as good as Final Fantasy 7, a game that sold one million on the first day, it is still an eye-catching sales volume.
At the same time, the StarCraft e-sports project was also officially launched.
The first session will be funded by the Korean government, and players from all over the world will be invited to challenge.
If you win the challenge, you will naturally get generous bonuses, and there will also be an official commendation ceremony, which will make you feel full of ceremony.
For e-sports supported by a country, even if the country is not big, its mobilization power is indeed unmatched by companies.
Unless you are a super enterprise like Morgan Group.
The first WCG quickly reached the peak of topic popularity through traffic drainage.
Those manufacturers that initially chose to sponsor e-sports to obtain advertising seats were delighted.
They only invested a small amount of money and quickly gained word-of-mouth and fame through this advertising campaign. The benefits are really exciting.
However, there will definitely not be too many such opportunities, and the organizers of the event will definitely realize the commercial value of this immediately, and the advertising seats for the next edition will not be so cheap.
But even so, if the crowd's attention continues to rise, it will still be worth it.
Looking at these data analyses, Zhu Youxing was basically relieved.
Real-time strategy games are relatively new in this world and will allow players to immerse themselves in them for a period of time. However, at the same time, the development of StarCraft this time is also somewhat different from the past. That is, this time StarCraft is a game.
Electronic Entertainment's first attempt at Internet services.
In addition to the LAN system that comes with StarCraft itself, the Battle.net platform installed with StarCraft is a channel specifically responsible for giving players the opportunity to communicate and play with players from all over the world.
For this reason, Takeyusei also asked Minoru Matsuhashi to hire the most professional network engineers with high salaries, and asked them to form a team responsible for maintaining the entire StarCraft network service.
This is somewhat overkill. The Internet service of StarCraft does not yet require so many manpower, but Zhuyouxing is planning for the future. StarCraft is just the beginning, and many games will be added to the network service in the future.
And his gs1 game console can also start devolving more functions of the Internet to users from this moment on.
Grain meal
Not long ago, gs1 just updated a wave of emulator compatibility functions for old games, allowing the emulator to run more stably on gs1, which is enough to take care of old players, even if the current revenue of old games and the expenditure of Youxing Electronic Entertainment The cost is to be compatible but completely incompatible, but Zhu Youxing still insists on doing so.
Because this is how he came here, many times he had to go through many complicated methods to experience old games. Now that Zhu Youxing can make the decision, he wants players to reduce these unnecessary troubles.
Of course, this is not without benefits. At least the reputation has been maintained, all players are taken care of, and it is easier for players to become sticky.
While Zhu Youxing continued to look at some of the company's data, his cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and took a look and found that it belonged to Minoru Matsuhashi.
Takeyusei raised his eyes and looked at the time. It should be early morning in the United States right now. Has Matsukashi not rested yet?
This is really a very hard-working woman, a bit cruel to herself and those around her.
Then he picked up the phone.
"President, there are changes at Surui Electronics. Have you read the news?"
"News? What changes have occurred at Surui Electronics?"
"The current president of Surui Electronics, Kentaro Hayakawa, officially announced his retirement, and his youngest son Ueto Hayakawa will succeed him as the new president of Surui Electronics." Minoru Matsuhashi's tone was serious, and it was obvious that she attached great importance to this latest news.
Zhu Youxing opened his eyes slightly.
Ueto Hayakawa has become the president of Surui Electronics? This is really big news.
Surui Electronics is an electronics industry giant covering many fields. It is comparable to Sony in its previous life. The change of president was announced almost as soon as the internal shareholders meeting ended.
Then, people in the entire electronics industry and financial circles immediately took notice.
Originally, the popularity of some e-sports topics on Yuxing Electronic Entertainment also quickly faded, and they were replaced by the big news of Su Rui Electronics' change of position.
Ueto Hayakawa became the new president of Surui Electronics, and the video game division he previously managed was handed over to the one he trusted most.
At the same time, at the shareholders' meeting, Uehito Hayakawa immediately revised the research and development direction as soon as he became president, investing more manpower into the electronic game division to develop new game consoles.
The previous dilemma of insufficient manpower was immediately improved.
The new president was aggressive from the beginning, as if he really had his eye on the future of the video game industry and wanted to take a gamble.
Zhu Youxing turned on the TV, and some core employees of the company gathered together to watch the latest news that had just been released.
Even some people who develop games are temporarily putting down their work.
At this moment, it is not just the economic news in Japan that is shaken by this news. In the United States, even if it is still early in the morning, none of the middle and senior managers of Surui Electronics' American branch have a rest. .
This is a very clear signal that they will all be loyal to the new leader in the future and must not neglect it.
Many corporate executives who compete with Surui Electronics immediately woke up from their sleep after hearing the news, and quickly found their own advisory groups to discuss matters after the new president of Surui Electronics took office overnight.
The popularity of video games has quickly dropped to freezing point. Except for players who are super passionate about games, most people have turned their attention away.
