"Boom!"
It was earth-shattering. All the reporters sucked in a breath of cold air. Xiao Yunhai's tone was really too big.
Another reporter stood up and asked, "Mr. Xiao, why are you so confident? What do you think is special about Warcraft compared to other online games? "
Xiao Yunhai said, "I've played some online games before. Whether it's graphics, settings, or fun, they can't compare to Warcraft. Of course, I'm confident. "
"Mr. Xiao, Steyr Networks' games are very good. They've been downloaded more than 40 million times worldwide. It can be said that they've taken the world by storm. Do you think Warcraft is a match for them? "
In the past few years, Steyr Networks had acquired a lot of game companies around the world. Then, they gathered all the outstanding technical staff and developed many good games. Every year, it brought them tens of billions of dollars in wealth.
This year, the growth was even stronger. The profit of the first quarter was more than 50% of last year's profit. It surpassed the top game companies in Japan and Korea. It had the potential to dominate the world of games. If this continued, some experts estimated that Steyr Networks would earn more than 150 billion dollars in profit from games this year. It might even exceed 200 billion.
Xiao Yunhai had some understanding of this. He said, "Mr. David Steyr and I are old friends. I know the strength of Steyr Networks very well. If we're talking about research, our Storm Game Company definitely can't beat them. After all, we don't have as much foundation as them. However, the most important thing in game development is not strength and technology, but innovation. They've developed many good games in the past two years, but I'm confident that Warcraft can beat all of their games. Therefore, I advise Mr. David Steyr to give up on the game industry to avoid heavy losses. "
Even though he knew that the reporters were up to no good when they mentioned Steyr Networks, Xiao Yunhai didn't hold back. He criticized their game as worthless.
The reporters below the stage were very satisfied with Xiao Yunhai's bold words. Without such provocation, how could their sales increase?
Following that, the reporters took turns to bombard the company, intentionally or unintentionally.
Xiao Yunhai had no qualms about belittling the other party's game and praising his own Warcraft. Since they were already at odds with each other, there was no need for him to be polite.
An hour later, the press conference ended.
Without exception, Xiao Yunhai's Warcraft press conference was published on all the major gaming websites on the Internet.
"Kungfu Xiao's first game, Warcraft, will be released worldwide on May 5th at 8 AM."
"Kungfu Xiao is very confident in Warcraft. He spent as much as 850 million USD on publicity."
"Warcraft is now online. Kungfu Xiao advises Steyr Networks to change careers to avoid losing everything."
"Kungfu Xiao claimed that he was going to get rid of Steyr Networks. Is he really that powerful, or is he just bluffing? We'll wait and see. "
It wasn't just the homepages of the major games. Netizens also left comments on the forums.
"Warcraft is finally going to be released. I'm looking forward to it."
"Haha, Warcraft is now online. The first 100,000 players can download it for free and get so much free time. I'm going to fight for it."
"Xiao's press conference is so domineering. He doesn't even care about Steyr Networks. How bold."
"Warcraft is going to compete with six games from Steyr Networks. Kungfu Xiao actually said that he was going to beat them. Awesome."
"Kungfu Xiao dares to say such big words. I believe that Warcraft must be very good."
"Xiao, you can do it. I'm your loyal fan and also a veteran gaming fan. You can do it. I'll support you and Warcraft with all my might. "
Wall Street, Steyr Networks Headquarters
David Steyr looked at the news related to Warcraft. He snorted and made a phone call.
"Get Spencer Ackerman to come and see me."
Spencer Ackerman was the general manager of Steyr Game Company. He was very smart and talented. At the same time, he was also an excellent technician.
In the past two years, Spencer Ackerman had played a key role in the rapid development of the Steer Gaming Company. He had made great contributions to the company.
Therefore, even though Spencer Ackerman was half an hour late, David Steyr, who had always been strict, was still very pleasant to him. Not only did he ask him to sit down, he even asked his secretary to make him a cup of coffee.
Ackerman took a sip of coffee and asked in a neither servile nor overbearing manner, "Mr. Steyr, why are you looking for me? Is it about the release of Warcraft tomorrow? "
David Steyr nodded and said, "That's right. Spencer, what do you think of Kungfu Xiao's Warcraft? "
Ackerman thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. Storm Game Company used to be very famous in the industry. Later on, their games weren't very successful. That's why they quickly declined. However, the technicians in the company are all very good, especially the three founders. I had personally tried to recruit them. It's a pity that the three of them are very ambitious. We couldn't accommodate them. I didn't expect them to choose to join Kungfu Xiao. This is very surprising. "
"From the publicity of Warcraft, I think this game is very good. It's definitely a top quality game. Their design is very novel and unique. The graphics are like those of a movie. It gives people a very strong sense of immersion. "
"It's talking about quality and influence. Kungfu Xiao is the richest man in the world and an international superstar. He has hundreds of millions of fans. All the young people idolize him. Now that the game Warcraft, which is designed by his company and endorsed by him, is released, you can imagine how attractive it will be to his fans. "
David Steyr frowned and said, "Spencer, I believe you know about the enmity between me and Xiao. I have to admit that in the film industry, our Paramount is no match for Marvel. Therefore, I don't want to lose to him in the game industry. Do you have any ideas? "
Spencer Ackerman shook his head and said, "Boss, Kungfu Xiao's publicity is very clever and generous. The first 100,000 people to download it for free, and the first million people to download it for half the price. Moreover, they give out different amounts of game time. This makes us almost helpless. Even if the games under our company want to lower their prices, we can't do it. Everything depends on the true strength of both parties. In the world of games, good is good, bad is bad. There's basically no way to change it. Unless we can find a bug in their game or hack their server to cause the game to be paralyzed, it will be very difficult to stop them. "
David Steyr said, "We definitely can't use hacking methods. Otherwise, once Kungfu Xiao finds out, our Steyr Networks will immediately be doomed. That bug finding thing is a good idea. How about this, Spencer, gather some gaming experts to look for bugs in Warcraft. As long as they can find them, give them a reward of 100,000 to 1,000,000. "
Spencer Ackerman said, "Okay, I'll do it immediately. Mr. Steyr, don't worry too much. Even if we can't stop Warcraft this time, it doesn't mean that we will lose. In another three months, the large-scale online game 'The World' that we spent three years to create will enter the testing phase. Once it's released, I believe that this game will definitely be popular in the world. No one can stop it. No matter how good Warcraft is, it will definitely not be its opponent. "
David Steyr revealed a satisfied smile and said, "Spencer, you did very well. I promise you, as long as the game company's profit this year can exceed 150 billion USD, then you can get a 2% commission at the end of the year. "
Spencer Ackerman's eyes lit up. 2% commission was 300 million USD. It was far more than his current annual salary of 10 million USD.
"Mr. Steyr, I will do my best."
After Spencer Ackerman left, David Steyr looked at Xiao Yunhai, who was sitting on the computer and talking. His gaze was colder than ice. He snorted and said, "Xiao, one day, I will definitely avenge Hanks."
