   Chapter 372 Big News

   There is a selected StarCraft player in several game stores with the most players all over the United States.

   They can perform as well as Li Mingzhe in combat.

   And taking the lead, many players who saw this operation almost invariably thought that they could do the same thing.

  Even if they haven't bought this game, they have already constructed in their minds the appearance of galloping on the battlefield in the game and killing the Quartet.

   While fantasizing like this, he also snickered in his heart, feeling that he could also perform the same operation.

   After a player performed a very effective game scene, the player's desire to buy was immediately raised.

   Outside the door, some people who had little interest in StarCraft also started lining up to buy the game.

   Soon, the game's sales for the day have been announced.

  500,000 sales on the first day.

   This is already quite a good result.

   Although it is not as good as a game like Final Fantasy 7, which made millions on its first day, it is also an impressive sales volume.

  At the same time, the StarCraft e-sports project was 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 the challenge is won, you will naturally get rich bonus rewards, and there will also be an official commendation ceremony, which makes the sense of ceremony full.

  E-sports under the support of a country, even if the country is not big, but the mobilization power is indeed unmatched by companies.

   Unless you are a super company like Morgan Group.

   The first WCG quickly reached the peak of the topic through drainage.

   Those manufacturers who initially chose to sponsor eSports to get advertising seats are more than happy.

   They just invested a small amount of money, and they quickly gained word of mouth and fame through this advertising campaign. This income is really exciting.

   However, there are certainly not many such opportunities, and the organizers of the event will definitely realize the commercial value of it immediately, and the next advertising seats will not be so cheap.

   But even so, if the crowd's attention continues to rise, it's still worth it.

   Looking at these data analysis, Zhu Yuxing was basically relieved.

Real-time strategy games are relatively new in this world, and will allow players to immerse themselves in it for a while, but at the same time, the development of StarCraft this time is also somewhat different from the past, that is, this StarCraft is a wandering star. Electronic Entertainment's first attempt at Internet service.

   In addition to the local area network system that comes with StarCraft itself, the Battle.net platform installed with StarCraft is a channel dedicated to allowing players to have the opportunity to communicate with players from all over the world.

   To this end, Zhu Yuxing also asked Matsuhashi to hire the most professional network engineers at a high salary, and let them form a team responsible for maintaining the entire StarCraft network service.

   This is a bit of a knife to kill chickens. The Internet service of StarCraft does not require so many people, but Zhu Yuxing 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 devolve more functions of the Internet to users from now on.

Not long ago, GS1 has just updated the emulator compatibility function of a wave of old games, so that the emulator can run more stably on GS1, which is enough to take care of old players, even if the current income of old games and Yuxing Electronic Entertainment pay. Compatibility is completely incompatible at the cost, but Zhu Yuxing insists on doing so.

  Because that’s how he came here, he needed a lot of complicated methods to experience the old game many times, and now Zhu Yuxing can make the decision, he wants players to reduce these unnecessary troubles.

   Of course, this is not without profit, at least the word of mouth has been maintained, all players have taken care of it, and it is easier for players to become sticky.

   Just as Zhu Yuxing continued to look at some data from the company, his cell phone rang.

   He picked up his phone and saw that it belonged to Matsuhashi.

   Zhu Yuxing raised his eyes and looked at the time. It should be the early morning in the United States right now, and Songqiao has not rested yet?

   This is a really hard-working woman who is a bit ruthless towards herself and the people around her.

   Then he picked up the phone.

   "President, there has been a change in Suri Electronics, have you watched the news?"

   "News? What's going on at Suri Electronics?"

   "Kentaro Hayakawa, the current president of Su Rui Electronics, officially announced his retirement, and his youngest son, Ueto Hayakawa, succeeded him as the new president of Su Rui Electronics." Matsuhashi's tone was serious, and she obviously attached great importance to this latest news.

   Zhu Yuxing opened his eyes slightly.

  Haakawa Ukito became the president of Surui Electronics? This is really big news.

  Suri Electronics is a giant in the electronics industry that covers many fields. It competes with Sony in the previous life. The change of the president was announced almost immediately after the end of the internal shareholder meeting.

   Then, people in the entire electronics industry and in the financial circle were immediately moved.

   The popularity of some e-sports topics on Youxing Electronic Entertainment has also declined rapidly, and replaced by the big news of Surui Electronics.

   Hayakawa Ueto became the new president of Suri Electronics, and the video game business department he previously managed was handed over to one of his most trusted men.

   At the same time at the shareholders meeting, Ueto Hayakawa changed the direction of research and development as soon as he became the president, and invested more manpower into the video game division to develop new game consoles.

   The predicament of insufficient manpower was immediately improved.

  This is the president who has been aggressive from the beginning. It seems that he really sees the future of the video game industry and wants to take a gamble.

   Zhu Yuxing turned on the TV, and some core employees of the company also gathered together to watch the latest news just released.

   Even some of the people who develop games are now temporarily putting aside their work.

At this moment, it is not just the economic news in Japan that is shaking because of this news. In the United States, even if it is still in the early morning, none of the middle and senior managers of the US branch of Suri Electronics has a rest. .

   This is an obvious signal that they will all be loyal to the new leader in the future, and they must not be neglected.

   Several corporate executives who compete with Surui Electronics immediately woke up from their sleep when they heard the news, and quickly found their own advisory group to discuss the new president of Surui Electronics after taking office overnight.

  The popularity of video games has quickly dropped to freezing point, and most people have turned their attention to it except for game-loving gamers.
