"In just two short weeks, it went from being released to the top of the popularity chart. In just two weeks, 'Wilderness War God' surpassed our mobile game that we spent hundreds of millions to produce, advertise, and operate. Why do you think this is? "A senior executive questioned in the conference room.
"Manager Wang, tell us your opinion."
A middle-aged man nodded and said, "I analyzed and investigated 'Wilderness War God' in detail. It came from a small game company that might not even be as big as a small department in our company. "
"Their operating investment is also pitifully small. They relied purely on the players to promote it. Other aspects aside, its production is really amazing. We currently don't have a mobile game that can compare to it! "
"Others can do it, but we can't?" The senior executive questioned.
"This …" Everyone in the conference room looked at each other, especially the senior executives in charge of technology.
After a moment of silence, they shook their heads and sighed, "We might not be able to do it at the moment."
A similar situation was happening in Penguin Game Company. Penguin Game Company invested even more in PUBG mobile games!
There were a total of six mobile games that had already been released or were preparing to be released! They were all produced by well-known studios within Penguin Game Company.
They had originally planned to take advantage of the popularity of PUBG mobile games and use their powerful technology and resources to dominate the market.
However, the response wasn't good. The few mobile games that had been released so far couldn't surpass Netbook One's two games. Not only that, another dark horse appeared and directly reached the top of the mobile popularity chart!
"Why is there such a huge difference in technology? Shouldn't we be the top company in the world with the technology? "A senior executive of Penguin Game Company questioned.
Penguin Game Company didn't dare to claim to be number one in other aspects, but in terms of games, they were already at the top of the world — — at least in terms of profits.
Everyone was still silent. Someone said, "This' Wilderness War God 'is really flawless. The most surprising thing is that it was made by a small company with less than twenty people! This is unbelievable! Where did they get the technology and energy to make a game like this? "
The others were also puzzled and said, "Yeah, we made a knockoff, no, an original mobile game, but we still need a team of a hundred people to produce and polish it. We can't even reach this level. How did they do it?"
"A small company with less than twenty people?" A senior executive's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Immediately call a meeting to discuss the acquisition of this small company!"
"That's right, buy them! This way, the first place will be ours! "
At the thought of mobile games, the executives of Penguin Games smiled. Penguin Corporation is rich and overbearing. If they see something good, they can just buy it directly!
No matter how strong the opponent was, they would not be able to withstand the bombardment of money! Previously, Blue Hole Games had relied on PlayerUnknown's Battleground: The Great Escape to fend off Penguin's acquisition. In the end, didn't Penguin acquire their scattered shares and force them to give up their agency?
This was an era where the big fish ate the small fish. As a giant beast in the capital market, Penguin Games was confident that it could easily crush a small shrimp like Hongxin Games.
…
Hongxin Games Company. Many players, media, and related companies had taken notice of this unknown company after they had climbed to the top of the mobile game popularity rankings in the past week.
Video game media: "Wild War God's popularity reaches the top in one week. Player comments: The most conscientious mobile game in history!"
"The pinnacle of mobile games, did you eat chicken today?"
"A big production from a small company. This game is going viral!"
On some live streaming platforms, there were additional channels dedicated to Wild War God. A few streamers who took advantage of this opportunity gained a lot of popularity.
Companies with a keen sense of smell also approached Hongxin Games Company to seek cooperation.
The entire company was extremely busy, but everyone was having fun. This was because this meant that they were "making a lot of money"! Lu Zixin had already announced that everyone would receive a big red packet when they were done.
The video game platform's distributors, advertisers, etc., were all here to give them money. Moreover, they were also working hard to develop all kinds of value-added services. For example, they could change the appearance of characters and items with money.
Lu Zixin himself was also extremely busy and did not even have time to chat in the group chat.
"This is Hongxin Games?" At the entrance of Hongxin Games Company, three representatives frowned as they looked at the company.
They were all here for Penguin Games to negotiate with them. Their main purpose was to acquire "Hongxin Games." They originally thought that a game company that could make "Wilderness War God" wouldn't be small to this extent.
Now that they look at it, it was too unsightly! The number of employees in this company was less than the number of cleaners in their company!
"Seeing this, I am relieved." One of them smiled, "This kind of small company will not have a long-term vision. As long as we use some money to entice them, it will be easy to acquire or invest in them!"
"Yes." The other two nodded in agreement.
They went in to visit, and the first person they saw was Liu Tong.
"Old Liu, you work in this company?" One of them actually knew Liu Tong. They were all elites in the industry and had interacted before.
"Oh, it's actually Manager Kong. Rare guest, rare guest!" Liu Tong quickly shook hands with him. This Kong Lin was a senior executive in Penguin Games and had a lot of authority.
The other two people's positions were lower than him. Kong Lin was the person in charge of this business.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Kong Lin said, "Old Liu, you said you were leaving without telling me. Come and work in Penguin Games! The salary and benefits are definitely better than any other company you're in! "
Liu Tong shook his head and smiled, "Your company is big, and I am not capable enough. I am afraid I can't stay here. It's fine like this. "
"Sigh, that's a waste of your talent!" Kong Lin said, "This place is too small!"
"Although the company is small, it has a lot of potential. We will be able to develop it very soon." Liu Tong said politely.
"The potential is not bad." Kong Lin nodded, "This time, we are here to discuss this matter."
He slightly revealed the purpose of his visit, and Liu Tong was immediately worried.
This kind of thing had happened a few days ago. With Wilderness War God being so popular, naturally, there were representatives from big companies who wanted to buy it, but they were all rejected.
But this time, it was Penguin Games, a big boss with a lot of money. If they wanted to buy a small company, it would be a piece of cake.
He now had high hopes for Hongxin Games' future. He really did not want to be bought by Penguin Games and become one of their gaming studios.
But if the other party's offer was too high and Lu Zixin could not resist the temptation, then it would be troublesome.
"Wait a moment, I will go and inform the boss." Liu Tong said.
