We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 213 Survival of the Fittest

The Spring Festival is a time for Chinese people to celebrate, but for employees of Far East Group, it is a bit more gloomy.

It’s not that the year-end bonus and benefits have been reduced due to poor performance this year. On the contrary, Far East’s year-end bonus has increased this year, an increase of almost 10% compared to last year.

The reason for this is that in the past two days, some Hong Kong media and tabloids quoted the news from the beautiful country and hyped up the crisis of the Far East Group.

Two days ago, Honor Games should have plummeted when its market value reached US$180 billion, with a drop of more than 10%.

It has only stabilized at around US$154 billion today, without falling below the US$ billion mark, and its market value has dropped to ninth place.

Honor Games' profits last year were still considerable, with net profits exceeding US$14 billion. The most eye-catching figures were the production and peripheral authorizations for red and white consoles, game cartridges, and peripherals.

The total of these licensing fees exceeds 300 million US dollars, which is one of the largest revenue sources.

But who would have thought that success and failure are also failures. It is this kind of authorization from Honor Games that allows a beautiful Chinese company to rise and even has an impact on Honor Games.

Commodity International was originally an electronic component manufacturer in the beautiful country, producing simple electronic components and so on.

After the Far East Group launched its handheld console, because it did not produce cassettes itself, Commodity saw an opportunity by choosing OEM or regional licensing.

Commodity sent representatives to Hong Kong Island, gained the trust of Honor Games, and became one of the three authorized game cartridge manufacturers in North America. They have been cooperating ever since.

More than a year ago, Honor Computer was born. Commodity saw the development prospects and felt that the future market of this thing was huge and wanted to study it.

However, after some investigation, it found that it could not make much money by operating as a simple assembly plant, so it had to ask upstream manufacturers to take most of the money, and it still had to face competition from its peers.

So Commodity changed its strategy and began to target the market at parents with children, making its products extremely simple and extremely low-priced.

It's just a rectangular host computer with a keyboard embedded in it. There is no mouse or monitor and it can be directly connected to the TV.

This host also has many built-in small programs, such as typing exercises.

The most important thing is that it also has a slot that can use cassettes from red and white machines.

Does it feel familiar? Yes, you can call it a bully.

This is the ancestor of Little Overlord, Kang Maoda 64.

After the launch of the Commodity 64, it was promoted as a computer. Advertisements were carried out to say that computer office work was the future trend. Parents who did not want their children to lose at the starting line wanted to buy one as a gift for their children.

But now the cheapest personal computers cost thousands of dollars, which is not a small sum for ordinary families.

Just when people were hesitating, they discovered that there was actually a brand of product that was very cheap, priced at less than four hundred dollars. This was Commoda 64.

The children who got the computer were also very happy because they found that it actually came with a game cartridge so they could play games at home.

Children sit in front of the TV and play games every day. As long as they pull out the cassette before their parents find out, they will not be discovered.

When parents saw this, they thought they were studying seriously and were naturally happy, so Kangmoda 64 became popular.

In last year's year-end report given by Commodity, Commodity 64 shipments reached a terrifying 110 million units.

Wall Street knows very well that this thing is a product that is selling itself over another, and is essentially more inclined to game consoles.

Therefore, under their operation, Honor Games fell by more than 2 billion US dollars in two days.

It’s not that their conscience found that they stabilized the situation and didn’t continue to short sell, but that they found out that someone was afraid to move after accumulating funds.

Why are they shorting? It’s not that I’m not optimistic about Honor Games, but I want those retail investors to sell their shares so they can buy them at a low price.

Regarding Honor Game’s stocks, many pension funds, education funds and other institutions in the beautiful country want to buy some.

These are all major clients of Wall Street. Can Wall Street refuse?

It was at this time that Commodity showed them that it was feasible, that it could satisfy old customers and make a fortune from it.

But they are not the only ones who are smart. From the fact that the profits of Honor Games last year increased instead of falling, we can see that they were not affected.

Commodity’s move is undoubtedly helping Honor Games expand its market, which is also the reason why licensing fees have skyrocketed.

No matter who sells this terminal device, as long as the games produced by Honor are excellent and everyone plays the games designed by Honor, Honor games will be the biggest beneficiaries.

How do those Hong Kong tabloids know this? They write in a way that attracts attention. In their words, Luo Nianzhong is not far away from bankruptcy.

Unexpectedly, such news is still popular, and the people of Hong Kong Island started talking after seeing that Far East Group did not come out to explain.

Will three people make a tiger? Many Far East employees will inevitably be affected.

Especially the relatives who visit during the New Year, those who feel uncomfortable if you live a better life than they do, have given the Far East Group a lot of reasons why they are about to die. Not to mention their rich imagination, at first glance, they are still... It's quite logical and reasonable.

Welch had thought about issuing a statement to stabilize the morale of the military, but he stopped after Luo Niazhong found out.

He couldn't even judge the rumors and began to deny the company and himself. What's the use of Luo Nianzhong having such a person? Forget it, quit your job as soon as possible.

Far East Group is no longer unknown and has cooperated with dozens of top schools in many countries.

There are countless top experts and well-known scholars in the industry.

Different from the thirst for talent when it was first established, is it a time when people are about to graduate from college?

What the Far East needs now is to eliminate those who do not meet the requirements, cannot keep up with the group's development, and have poor comprehensive abilities.

Through a large number of new employees and college students every year, it is like sifting sand to ensure that what is left in the end is the best and most suitable.

Therefore, Luo Nianzhong not only stopped Welch's actions, but even the media under Asia Media issued instructions not to speak out on this matter.

Smart people can see the root of the matter. What can you explain to a stupid person?

As long as you are strong and can hold your own, what's there to be afraid of?

As for the drop in the share price of Honor Games, Luo Nianzhong originally wanted Robert to take the opportunity to buy the dip.

Once the market value falls below 15 billion US dollars, Luo Nianzhong doesn't mind returning to the market and letting the market value fall even more violently.

But he didn't expect that his wish was shattered. In just two days, someone started to take over. It seems that Wall Street is not too united.

In addition to this incident, there is another incident related to the Far East that has also attracted the attention of many people, especially in the West.

That is, Atari, the former giant in the gaming industry, has begun to lay off employees due to huge losses in the past two years. Without new funds, it is not far from bankruptcy.

The peak of Atari in this generation was in 78 when it bought the copyright of Space Invaders from the island country Taitung Company and made it into an arcade machine.

But the glory was short-lived, and it didn't take long for Luo Nianzhong's glory to appear.

Although Space Invaders still made Atari a huge profit, no game since then has posed a threat to Glory.

The two sides seemed to have formed a death cross from the beginning, and the gap became wider and wider.

Now Atari seems to be taking the quantitative route and playing a game of chance.

With the same development costs, the more games are developed, the less funds are spent on each game, and the quality can be imagined.

Coupled with the fierce pursuit of Honor games, high-quality products are released every year.

Today's Atari, except for some die-hard fans and leftover nostalgia, new players simply don't choose their games.

Atari's loneliness is also seen as the starting point of the Honor game's dominance. According to Western media, there is no company that can challenge the Honor game in terms of game production and output.

A game company from an island country? The West has never taken them seriously.

They will never know that it was precisely because of their arrogance in history that the island country successfully attacked Pearl Harbor again.

Not only games, but also the electronics and semiconductor industry.

But Luo Nianzhong would not make the same mistake. He has been paying attention to the island country's game market since the first game was developed by Honor Games.

"Only when the water recedes will you know who was swimming naked."

"This sentence makes sense, but why does it sound like nonsense?"

Standing by the window, Luo Nianzhong, who was still a little emotional at first, lost all his feelings when Guan Jiahui said a word.

In the past few days, not only the group, but also the family members have begun to believe the words of those boring tabloids.

Xiao Nizi has not gone out for four or five days, which was something she never dared to think about before.

It was this kind of silent protection that made Luo Nianzhong enjoy it so much that he didn't have to explain it too much.
