When Li Zijian received a call from Lu Tian, he was about to go have something to eat.
Once he reaches this level, the working class has undergone some changes.
Li Zijian works more for his own career rather than watching his salary increase little by little.
When he saw Lu Tan's caller number, he raised his eyebrows.
Under normal circumstances, Lu Jian's calls are a good thing. Although most of the time it will trouble Li Zijian, most of the time the rewards are quite generous.
Therefore, Li Zijian decisively answered Lu Jian's call.
"Brother Li, I want to buy some game console companies."
After some pleasantries, Lu Tiao got straight to the point.
"Game console company?"
Question marks appeared on Li Zijian's head.
In this world, the development of domestic game console companies is not bad, but their market share is not high. As for the big black companies abroad, they are all very rich.
Although Lu Tan was not short of money, it was too difficult to buy one.
For example, a company that specializes in making games for women and children has faced the dilemma of making random investments and almost going bankrupt due to the stock crash. Therefore, it has accumulated a large amount of cash, enough for the company to spend a hundred years without going bankrupt.
Another example is another company that has successfully squeezed into the Big Three. It promotes itself as a studio that is not short of money and can purchase various games. The purchased games are directly available to members for free, which has completely changed part of the industry ecology.
Another example is that a major player in the industry not only sells game consoles, but also sells matching TV audio and headphones. Together with various music and entertainment companies, it develops in an all-round way, and often spends money to create exclusive operations such as limited time exclusivity.
These companies cannot be bought by Lu Tian if he wants to.
Of course, if Lu Tian really wants to get involved in the game industry, he can find a game company or studio in the form of cooperation, and with his current IP reserves, he can make a game in minutes.
So Li Zijian was curious after hearing what Lu Tan said.
Lu Tian just makes games. What does the entire game console company do?
"Yes, I am planning to release a game, but after looking at it, I found that none of the game consoles on the market meet the standards of my game, so I just thought of making my own game console."
Lu Tan said it quite casually, as if he had eaten bad-tasting clay pot rice outside and said he wanted to go home and make one for himself.
"ah?"
But Li Zijian was still shocked.
Does Lu Tan have no common sense, or is he really confident?
To make a game console, it takes more than a few technicians and one or two smart heads to complete it in one go. Especially now that the game industry is getting involved, if you want to make money, not only must the game console itself be reliable, but also
Excellent first-party works must also have the support of a large number of third-party studios.
To put it bluntly, game consoles are not PCs. Game companies develop on this platform and need to use development machines to make special adaptations. If your installed capacity cannot increase, why should other companies make adaptations for you? And your game
There are no games to play on the machine, how can the installed capacity be increased?
This is an interlocking cycle.
Especially in big markets like Europe and the United States, except for some professional players, most people buy game consoles to go home, either to shoot guns, play football, or drive cars. Many game consoles at home are just gun, car and ball game starters.
When I look at your game console, I can’t play games online with friends around me, so I won’t even buy it.
Moreover, it would take several years to develop a game console. Isn’t it a bit late for Lu Jian to mention this now?
Although he had so many doubts in his heart, Li Zijian still didn't say anything.
After all, he had doubts in his mind many times before, but in the end Lu Tian proved that Li Zijian's doubts were nothing, he, Lu Tian, could do it.
Therefore, Li Zijian was not in a hurry to be slapped in the face, but agreed.
He even actually contacted the three giants.
"We are very honored that Director Lu Jian can choose BIS as a partner. BIS has a century-old history and excellent game development technology. In the past few years, however, we are very sorry that due to BIS's operating policy, please
We regret that we cannot agree to this acquisition request. If you would like to carry out other cooperation, please call the XXXXXX Cooperation Department."
One of the companies responded this way.
"I'm very sorry, we currently have no plans to sell this business. If your company wants to cooperate, you can consider providing a financial report of your company, and we will consider whether to acquire your company."
Another company responded this way.
As for the third one, Li Zijian waited for several days but did not receive a formal reply to the email. He probably had too much business so he didn’t see it.
In short, it is not reliable to find the three giants of this game console.
Li Zijian thought for a while and felt that maybe Lu Tan's statement that he wanted to buy a game console company was too broad. Did he want to make a small-scale game to test the waters, or a real masterpiece?
He decided to visit Lu Jian and learn more about Lu Jian's needs.
Of course Li Zijian went not to Lu Tan's home, but to Jingjing Media.
Here, the employees are working hard, or enriching themselves, learning new technologies, and only the front desk is playing games.
Seeing Li Zijian, Lu Tan smiled.
"Just in time, I've come to an end here, you come and try."
he said.
"It's over? Try?"
Li Zijian didn't know why.
Lu Tan quickly took him to a room. This room should have been used to store equipment. Now it had been cleared out. Li Zijian saw that there was a chair in the center of the room and a helmet covering his eyes.
This helmet looks like something similar to a VR device at first glance, with complex wires connected to several workstations nearby.
"What's this?"
Li Zijian asked.
"It's a VR-like device. I'm going to call it the Silent Helmet."
Lu Tan answered and asked Li Zijian to sit on the chair.
"Would you like to experience it?"
"Okay, this is safe, right?"
Li Zijian asked subconsciously.
"Oh yes, when testing, please sign this first."
Lu Tan seemed to have remembered something and picked up a document and handed it to Li Zijian.
It clearly says, Disclaimer.
It's the kind of document you sign before you go on a dangerous project like bungee jumping or skydiving. This project may be life-threatening, and you will be responsible for the consequences if you don't follow the rules.
"?"
Li Zijian looked at Lu Tan.
"I won't harm you, Brother Li. Even if something happens, I will still have a way to help you get it back."
Lu Tan patted his chest and assured.
"Get it back?"
Li Zijian twitched the corner of his mouth.
However, he looked at the helmet and saw that it did not have the function of directly heating the brain with microwaves. He still signed, put on the helmet, and followed Lu Jian's instructions to lie down on the chair.
"How do I activate this?"
Li Zijian looked at the darkness in front of him and asked.
"You said, the link begins."
Lu Jian said from the side. The sound isolation effect of the headphones was very good, and his voice was a little ethereal, like the whisper of a demon that tempted people to fall.
"Oh link begins."
The next moment, Li Zijian saw a colorful black movement in front of him.
