"In just two weeks, it went from being launched to becoming the most popular game. It only took two weeks for "Wild God of War" to surpass the mobile game product that we spent hundreds of millions to produce, promote, and operate. Why do you think this is? "A senior executive asked in the conference room.
"Manager Wang, tell me what you think."
A middle-aged man nodded and said: "I have analyzed and investigated the situation of "Wild God of War" in detail. It comes from a small game company, and may not be as big as a small department of our company."
"Its operating investment is also pitifully small, and it has become popular purely through word-of-mouth publicity among players. Apart from other aspects, its production is really amazing. We currently don't have a mobile game that can compete with it!"
"Others can do it, why can't we do it?" the top executive asked.
"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, saying: "It may not be possible yet."
A similar thing happened at Penguin Games Company. Penguin Games has invested more in mobile chicken games!
There are six mobile games of the same type that have been launched or are about to be launched! They are all produced by well-known studios within Penguin Games.
They originally planned to take advantage of this wave of popularity of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds mobile games and use their strong technology and resource advantages to dominate the market.
However, the response has not been good. The few mobile games launched so far have not surpassed the two online games. Not only that, but another dark horse has emerged and directly topped the mobile game popularity list!
"Why is there such a big difference in technology? Shouldn't we be the world's top company in game technology?" Penguin Games executives asked.
When it comes to other things, Penguin doesn't dare to claim first place, but in terms of games, they already lead the world - at least in terms of profitability.
Everyone was still silent, and someone said: "This "Wild God of War" is really impeccable. The most surprising thing is that it was produced by a small company with less than twenty people! This is incredible? Where did they come from? The technology and energy to make a game like this?”
Others were also confused and said, "Yes, we are making a copycat, but an original mobile game requires a team of 100 people to produce and polish it. It has not reached this point. How did they do it?"
"A small company with less than twenty people?" A senior executive's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Convene a meeting immediately to discuss the acquisition of this small company!"
"Yes, acquire them! Then the number one position will be ours!"
Thinking of mobile games brings a smile to the faces of Penguin Games executives. Penguin has a lot of money. If you see something good, just buy it!
No matter how powerful their opponents are, they can't stop their money bombardment! Previously, Bluehole Games relied on "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" to resist Penguin's acquisition. Later, Penguin acquired other scattered shares and forced them to give up their agency
This is an era where big fish eat small fish. As a behemoth in the capital market, Penguin Games is confident that it can easily crush small shrimps like Hongxin Games.
…
Hongxin Game Company, as it topped the mobile game popularity list this week, attracted the attention of many players, media or related companies to this little-known company.
Game media: ""Wild God of War" reached the top of popularity in a week, player comments: The most conscientious mobile game in history!"
"Chicken-eating mobile games are reaching their peak. Have you had chicken-eating today?"
"A big production from a small company, this game is a hit!"
On some live broadcast platforms, there are also more live broadcast channels dedicated to "Wild God of War", and some anchors who have taken the lead have gained a lot of popularity.
Companies with a keen sense of smell have also approached Hongxin Gaming Company to seek cooperation.
The whole company is very busy, but everyone is enjoying it. Because this means "vast wealth"! Lu Zixin has already said that when the work is over, everyone will have a big red envelope.
Game platform distributors, advertisers, etc. are all here to give them money. And they are also stepping up the development of various value-added services, such as virtual products such as characters and props appearance that can be changed by charging money.
Lu Zixin himself was also very busy and didn't even have time for Shui Qun.
"Is this Hongxin Game?" At the entrance of Hongxin Game Company, three business representatives frowned at the company.
They all came to negotiate business from Penguin Games, and their main purpose was to acquire "Red Letter Games". They thought that the game company that could produce "Wild God of War" would never be so small.
Looking at it now, it’s really unattractive! The number of employees in this company is less than the number of cleaners in their company!
"I feel relieved when I see this." One of them smiled, "It is difficult for such a small company to have a long-term vision. As long as we use a little money to induce it, it can be easily acquired or invested in!"
"Yeah." The other two nodded in agreement.
They went in for a visit and first met Liu Tong.
"Old Liu, do you work in this company?" One of them actually knew Liu Tong. They were both elites in the industry and had crossed paths before.
"Oh, it's actually Manager Kong, a rare visitor, a rare visitor!" Liu Tong quickly shook hands with him. This Kong Lin is a senior executive of Penguin Games and has a lot of say.
The other two have lower positions than him. Kong Lin is the main person in charge of this business.
After exchanging greetings, Kong Lin said: "Old Liu, you said you were leaving without telling me. Come work for us at Penguin Games! The salary and benefits are definitely better than those you get at any other company!"
Liu Tong shook his head and said with a smile: "Your company is big, but I am not very capable. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay. It's good like this."
"Hey, that's a waste of talent!" Kong Lin said, "This place is too small!"
"Although the company is small, it has great potential and we will be able to develop it soon." Liu Tong said politely.
"The potential is indeed good." Kong Lin nodded, "We are here this time just to talk about this matter."
He revealed a little bit about his purpose, and Liu Tong suddenly felt worried.
This kind of thing has happened a few days ago. "Wild God of War" is so popular that naturally there are representatives from big companies who want to come over and acquire it, but they have all been rejected.
But this time it’s Penguin Games, a big boss with deep pockets. If they wanted to acquire a small company, it would be easy.
He only now has very high expectations for the future of Red Letter Games. He really doesn't want to be acquired by Penguin Games and become one of their game studios.
But if the other party's bid is too high and Lu Zixin cannot resist the temptation, then there will be trouble.
"Wait a moment, I'll inform the boss." Liu Tong said.
