Lin Yao was surprised when she heard Zhang Jianghu's suggestion.
In addition to graphics cards, in what other areas can the two parties cooperate?
Can't we open a restaurant together?
But then she thought about it, and Lin Yao thought of Bushnell's bankruptcy and reorganization that Zhang Jianghu had just mentioned, and she frowned slightly, realizing something.
……No way?
"Well, Bushnell has a hardware-level cooperation with us. The GPU on their Bushnell stars II was customized by us. We are one of their suppliers and one of their shareholders."
Zhang Jianghu first explained his relationship with Bushnell, and then said: "With the tightening of money this time, Bushnell has encountered major financial problems. Coupled with the setback in sales of new consoles, it eventually led to a chain reaction and led to bankruptcy.
After our Reflecta lobbying, Bushnell finally agreed to our proposed asset restructuring plan——
Officially withdraw from the console market, package and sell its entire console business, and then transition to games."
"So, Reflecta wants to take over the other party's host business?" Lin Yao was silent for a moment and asked.
"Not just Reflecta, we want to take over its console business with Linmu Studio, and then jointly develop or change the current Bushnell stars II console."
Zhang Jianghu smiled and said: "In the future, it will be operated by the two of us. Linmu Studio is responsible for the game business, and we, Reflect, are responsible for the sales and production of the console platform. How about it, Mr. Lin?"
"..."
Lin Yao did not answer immediately, but fell into deep thought.
really.
Reflect wants to expand its business.
You must have been waiting for this opportunity for a long time, right?
As Bushnell's shareholders, when Bushnell approached Linmu Studio to make it exclusive, they didn't give a damn. If they were to have a close relationship, they were closer to Linmu Studio than Bushnell.
As shareholders, they should also be very aware of the dismal situation of Bushnell's new console.
Why let it go?
There is only one possibility, they want Bushnell to be in crisis.
He should have been waiting for the opportunity for a long time.
Now Lin Yao suspects that their lobbying process may not be very honorable...
Lin Yao fell into silence.
Zhang Jianghu was not in a hurry, just thinking that she was thinking about it, and continued: "Mr. Lin, I know that you are worried about my sudden proposal to enter the console market, but this is indeed a good opportunity. You have also seen "Journey"
》The outstanding results on the host platform prove that this path is indeed feasible.
Your production level, coupled with our Reflecta conditions, and if supplemented by the Greenlight project, the new console will definitely be very popular. In addition, Keli Electronics, a subsidiary of Linmu Financial Holdings, will actually be able to OEM the console by then...
…Get opportunities for transformation and expansion.
After all, you can’t always be a graphics card OEM, right? The scale is too limited.”
After listening to Zhang Jianghu’s words.
Lin Yao finally spoke, and she asked in a joking tone: "Reflecta has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time?"
"I can't say I've waited a long time."
Zhang Jianghu smiled heartily: "It's just that the game market has been turbulent recently, and we at Reflecta have seen the potential in it, so we want to invest in this area. In addition, we are also aware of the quality of the Xingyao series of graphics cards owned by Linmu Financial Holdings.
It's very good. We discussed this internally and found it feasible.
Mr. Lin, you see, all three of us have our own advantages. Linmu Studio has an advantage in games. Reflecta can handle the upstream and downstream hardware supply chain. The problem of insufficient production capacity can be made up by Linmu Financial Holdings, which can also make up for the products.
We don’t have to compete directly with the single-line problem. If the game console succeeds, it will be good for us.
After all, although we at Reflecta are jealous of the game market, we don’t dare to compete directly with Linmu Studio.”
Zhang Jianghu didn't lie.
It was indeed not their original purpose to meddle with the game market.
This idea came about only recently.
As for why we have this idea, it has something to do with Lin Mu Studio.
As a partner of Linmu Studio, Reflecta has a deeper understanding of how Linmu Studio makes money than the outside world.
They are even more aware of how much games play a role in promoting the expansion of the graphics card market.
Especially after hosting overseas "Breakout" events.
But Linmu Studio made the money, and Reflecta also paid a lot of money in order for Linmu Studio’s games to promote the graphics card...
After all, Linmu Studio is not a subsidiary of them, and it has great ideas.
Under such circumstances, they naturally came up with the idea of getting involved in the gaming industry.
However, Reflecta does not have any gaming genes, so it is a bit difficult for them to make games.
So in the end, under the suggestion of Zhang Jianghu, whose status within the group was getting higher and higher, such a plan was proposed.
Not making games, but making console platforms.
Not for games, but they still have the hardware level, especially the ability to integrate supply chains, and they are very strong.
certainly.
Being a host is only the first step. Zhang Jianghu did not mention some subsequent purposes.
It's hard to say.
"That's so flattering. Reflecta can definitely make games."
Lin Yao shook her head and said politely. While speaking, she did not forget to think about the feasibility of the other party's proposal.
"It's not a compliment, I'm telling the truth. How about it, Mr. Lin, do you think our proposal is feasible? Can we cooperate?" Zhang Jianghu denied it, and then asked very sincerely.
"I have to think about this, but I am more concerned about another thing now...Bushnell is bankrupt, what about the two exclusive games on their new console?"
Lin Yao still did not give a definite answer, but suddenly asked about exclusive games.
Although Bushnell was miserable, it was a bit miserable.
At the original press conference, the video of the game could not even be put together for 20 minutes.
There are very few exclusive games compared to the other two.
But there are still some.
There are still two models. After all, the current console strategy still relies on exclusivity to attract users to buy consoles. If there is no exclusivity, then it is a crappy console.
The two exclusive games on the Bushnel console platform are just that the producers are not well-known and have not received much attention.
It is precisely for this reason that Bushnel wants Linmu Studio to be exclusive.
In addition, although the sales of these two exclusive games are average, they have a good reputation. This is mainly due to the weak platform.
Zhang Jianghu was stunned, wondering why Lin Yao asked this: "Exclusive game? Oh, because Bushnell couldn't pay the sales deposit, the exclusive agreement was terminated, but we..."
"oh?"
Lin Yao's eyes lit up, and then she directly interrupted Zhang Jianghu and asked: "Can these two games be put on our Vaporwave game platform? Our Vaporwave game platform has a lot of traffic recently, and we can provide some support.
They completed the transplant..."
Zhang Jianghu: "..."
Are we talking about the console?
Why did you suddenly turn to the Vaporwave gaming platform?
