Later, MK1 became completely popular, and Mickford, who was once decimated by the handheld industry, is now cannibalizing the handheld video game industry.
The functions of handheld computers are still too simple and cannot meet people's communication needs. Handheld computers are destined to become people's second choice.
"Why did I completely ignore this industry before?"
Bob was a little annoyed.
What he must admit is that he has indeed ignored the mobile phone industry.
In fact, with his current financial, human and material resources, he can set up his own mobile phone industry department and then vigorously develop the physical hardware industry.
This is indeed a very profitable direction.
Mr. Zhuyou's vision is always so vicious and forward-thinking.
Mickford is now only slightly famous in the mobile phone industry but has already been noticed by Mr. Zhuyou. According to Mr. Zhuyou, if Mickfu is allowed to continue to develop, this company is likely to become the most profitable company in the world in the future.
company of.
When it comes to profit, Bob is not sleepy.
Since Mr. Zhuyou has said that this industry will definitely succeed, why is he still hesitating? Just jump into it!
So he picked up the phone without hesitation and dialed a number belonging to his staff.
"Hello? Arthur? Gather all the senior officials for me. I have an important decision to announce."
"That's right, in the middle of the night, time waits for no one. We can't delay for even a second. A delay of one second may miss hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits."
Now that Bob can't sleep at all, he simply gathers all his men.
If I can't sleep, you can't sleep either.
So Bob called everyone to Facebook's headquarters overnight and held a meeting.
The core of the meeting was his decision to open a new department, the mobile phone business department.
This department has only one purpose, to develop its own mobile phones.
The department that is developing Facebook-related industrial applications for the MK1 mobile phone has also temporarily stopped. There is no need to rush to release the MK1 application, and it will first cooperate with the newly formed mobile phone department to develop new mobile phones.
In the United States, the most indispensable thing is talent.
It’s just that sometimes leaders are not 100% clear about the future direction.
But now that Bob has a clear direction, he can just spend a lot of money to grab people.
First, according to the instructions given by Zhu Youxing, he was going to grab a wave of talents who were good at developing computer operating systems.
People from the Morgan Group are naturally the first choice. This is the world's largest operating system manufacturer, and their talent team must be very strong.
Secondly, there is the production and R&D department of mobile phones.
At this time, the expansion of the mobile phone industry has come to a short-term stagnation, and the industry is developing in the direction of involution. The influence of the mobile phone industry formed by MK1 has not yet completely spread. Before new interest points emerge, the relevant aspects of the mobile phone industry
Practitioners can only involute themselves.
Bob issued the order that day, and major recruitment announcements were posted on all major recruitment platforms that evening.
Mobile phone R&D engineers can generally earn an annual salary of more than $100,000.
A million-dollar annual salary for someone more senior is not out of the question.
Facebook's sudden move left many people a little stunned.
Even the shareholders were very surprised why Bob would suddenly do such a thing.
It stands to reason that if you manage the Internet industry well, you should be very safe.
But why did you start to get involved in the real industry again?
Is it so easy to enter the real industry?
But Facebook is indeed rich enough.
Now it has a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars, and there are countless people squandering money hoping to board the giant ship of Facebook.
So if Bob really needs money to do something, that's totally fine.
Of course, his decision-making will inevitably be blocked by some shareholders.
What they pursue more is stability.
Now that Facebook has developed so steadily, it can already earn quite terrifying profits. There is absolutely no need to develop new industry lines.
Online shopping, video platforms, and online live broadcast platforms, except for the latter live broadcast platform, are all beginning to obtain stable cash flow. Now the live broadcast website has just become famous due to the recent Titanfall, and countless viewers are beginning to be willing to actively watch Facebook
The live broadcast page is also very profitable in the future.
Now they are suddenly embarking on a new project that seems to have no future, and they are really worried that Bob will screw him up.
But Bob's decision-making direction has been quite correct all along, and they have almost no reason to stop Bob from taking this risk-taking behavior.
Coupled with Bob's absolute voting rights, a new mobile phone business unit was quickly established.
And in order to expand his momentum, Bob also took the initiative to announce his future ambitions for the mobile phone manufacturing business in major media, and he planned to seize more than half of the mobile phone industry.
This naturally aroused the vigilance of Myron Case, CEO of Mickford.
But what Bob has announced now is not enough. Mobile phone development is a very long front. If you don’t set up a department now, you can have a finished mobile phone developed in two days. It will take enough time.
So Mickford may not have anything to worry about now, but he definitely needs to be prepared for the future.
Of course, these are the things that Bob needs to worry about. Zhu Youxing only needs to give Bob a relatively clear direction, and then he can be the boss. If Bob can't do it even if he has a clear direction to guide him, he can't do it.
If Si, it proves that he really has no talent in this area. At worst, he will resort to the next best thing and find cooperation with the Morgan Group.
Now Zhuyouxing is preparing for the production and release of new games.
After the production of Titanfall was completed, the American team was temporarily in a short rest period.
During this rest period, the team will first maintain the online number of people in Titanfall, and strive to make Titanfall’s online game mode break a record and become a new e-sports project.
They have been busy working on Titanfall for more than a year, which is really exhausting.
Even commuting normally is still a bit overwhelming.
They can take a break from maintaining Titanfall Online.
Game development here in Japan is still continuing.
The games immediately following Titanfall were the two main works Civilization and Monster Hunter, and then there were some slightly secondary works released together.
The theme of this year's carnival is Titanfall, but new games must still be announced.
The Civilization series is within the scope of this announcement.
The Civilization series trailer released at the carnival includes many well-known civilizations in the world. The game does not have too strict plot restrictions. It is entirely up to you how you want to develop, which can be regarded as giving players a lot of freedom.
There are also many conditions for victory. You can win through technological development, you can win through conquest, and you can also win through forming alliances with each other.

In short, the diverse development directions made many people interested in the work Civilization when it was announced.
