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

"Atombo, hurry up, the new product launch is about to start, you can take pictures anytime."

"Take two more pictures. I'm counting the time. I still need a picture with Athena. Wait for me a moment.

This is a good angle, Yuriko, please take a picture for me quickly."

Yuriko raised his hand to check the time and shook his head in helplessness, but he still found an angle and raised the camera.

"Okay, let's hurry up, or the press conference will start."

In the blink of an eye, Atombo, who had been hesitating just now, ran over quickly and ran southeast with Yuriko.

There were not only them, there were many people like them, and the more they ran, the more people there were around them.

Until we arrived at a huge square where thousands of people had gathered.

The square is somewhat like the Colosseum in Athenian mythology. A road extends from Ap Lei Chau, and half of the square is surrounded by tall archways, as if several Nan Tianmen gates were erected here.

Between every two goalposts, there are densely packed large outdoor screens, where live broadcasts are being broadcast.

At the two corners of the square close to the sea, there is a road extending outward, and at the end there are two buildings that only exist in fairy tales.

On one side is a group of ancient Chinese buildings in a fairy-tale style, with curling smoke and a fairyland-like feel. Especially the arch bridge between the two tallest buildings gives people a feeling that it should only exist in heaven.

The other side looks like something out of Western mythology, with huge columns carved with various figures and animals standing all around, and in the middle are shapes of various ancient castles, as if they were sealed here.

Spectacular, majestic, and busty, it wouldn't look out of place even if a mythical princess walked out of it.

These two buildings are the Two Dimensional Museum of Asian Media. They are not only a museum, but also include press conference halls, auction houses, etc.

Those who have tickets can naturally enter the main venue hall, while those without tickets can only stand in the middle of the Faith Square like Atombo to watch the grand event inside.

"Ha, it's so spectacular, my look is exactly the same as Seiya's."

Seeing that the press conference had not officially started yet, Atombo took out the photo he had just taken with his Canon Polaroid camera and was very satisfied with his own look in the photo.

Ever since Far East Chip and Far East Electronic Machinery Company became Canon's absolute majority shareholders through a stock-and-cash swap, Canon's R&D funding has continued to rise.

Especially after the development of instant photographic paper, it contributed to a surge in Canon's stock price.

At $89, no camera from any major manufacturer can offer such a low price. This is Luo Nianzhong’s strategy.

Canon sells Polaroid cameras at the cost price and does not make a penny. The real big expense is in the photo paper.

Facts have proved that Luo Nianzhong's strategy is successful. Canon can earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year by selling photo paper.

Because it is carried by the Far East platform, it has attracted attention from all over the world, and a Polaroid craze has been set off in the past two years.

"It's good, but I still like Dragon Ball more."

"Eurico, as a Greek, how can you not support the Saints?"

Yuriko shook the photo he had just taken for the other party in his hand and said helplessly, "Okay, I like Athena too."

“Is that right?” Taking the photo from the other party, Atombo looked at the tall statue of Athena on it with love.

This is the famous two-dimensional sacred mountain in Ap Lei Chau. It is based on the entire Yuk Kwai Mountain and is covered with two-dimensional characters of various shapes.

Transformers, Ninja Turtles, Mario, Marvel Heroes, Dragon Ball, Saint Seiya, etc.

Comics, games, movies, and animation, you can find all the popular Far East IP characters here.

Now, hundreds of characters have been carved on the south side of Yugui Mountain alone, but this is obviously not enough. What is lacking is not only the characters, but also the area and height of Yugui Mountain.

It’s only been a few years, and the Far East has gathered hundreds of popular IPs. How could this be possible in the long run?

Now Asian media are considering artificial mountains and extending Yugui Mountain outward, as they will all be reclaimed from the sea anyway.

“5、4、3、2、1，喔”。

After the numbers on the big screen counted down to five seconds, huge cheers broke out in Faith Square.

First up was the animation section, where the five most anticipated comic and animation works of the year were selected, followed by the awards ceremony.

It didn't come as a surprise to many people that Akira Toriyama won the most prestigious animation award in the first Ap Lei Chau Game and Animation Expo with his globally popular Dragon Ball.

"I think Saint Seiya is better, but I can still accept Dragon Ball winning the award."

Unlike Atombo, a die-hard Saint Seiya fan, Yuriko took Dragon Ball's award for granted.

The process is still going on. As time goes by, it is finally time for the Honor Game new game launch conference that everyone is looking forward to.

Although Honor games have continued to produce excellent works in the arcade and personal game console fields in the past two years and have occupied half of the global market, many people say that Honor games can no longer keep up with the times.

The reason is simple; it’s because computers are very popular recently.

It’s not that Honor Games has not developed computer games, but most of them are just copies of existing games, which makes many game fans disappointed with Honor Games.

What they want to see is that Honor Games can amaze the world in the field of computer games as it did in the field of arcade games, and point the way for all game manufacturers. Now the performance of Honor Games does not deserve this evaluation.

Why did the first Ap Lei Chau Game and Animation Expo attract so much attention from all over the world? It was because the slogan of "leading the world again" declared by Honor Games aroused everyone's curiosity.

At the main venue, when the new vice president of Honor Games, Shigeru Miyamoto, stepped onto the stage, thunderous applause broke out.

This is not only a respect for this master in the history of gaming, but also a respect for the Honor Group and even the Far East Group.

Recruiting talents without any restrictions is just like the slogan of Far Eastern companies when they are recruiting.

"Don't talk to me about salary. As long as you have the ability, your salary and position will definitely exceed your imagination."

In just six years, he went from being a game developer to becoming the vice president of a global gaming giant, allowing countless talented young people to see the possibility of the impossible.

These are among the reasons why Honor Games promoted him, not only because of his contribution to Honor Games, his talent, the value he created, but also because he represents the image of all workers.

Luo Nianzhong wants to create a god and let all the talented young people in the world see that the Far East School is your first choice.

“Is Honor Games declining? But our market value just broke through a new high of 20 billion US dollars not long ago, and our game revenue is still rising.

Computer games? It’s not that we don’t make them, but we just don’t bother to make them.”

In a word, audiences around the world watching this live broadcast were in an uproar.

“It’s not that we don’t want to make computer games, but we feel that the previous computer configurations don’t meet our requirements.

But now it is different, with the latest generation of Honor computers launched two months ago, we can proudly say that Honor Games will make this pearl of the gaming world shine even brighter."

As soon as Shigeru Miyamoto finished speaking, a game poster appeared on the big screen behind him, and a row of characters holding various individual weapons appeared on the screen.

"Now, I announce that the FPS game Counter-Strike developed by Honor Games will officially meet global game fans."

CS is here, but it is a little different from the CS you are familiar with, because it has a recharge system, and the maps and gameplay are also a little different.

We all know that Counter-Strike is a module of Half-Life. It was later acquired by Valve and many versions were developed.

This Honor game is based on the classic 1.6. There is only one large map, which is really due to the poor configuration of current computers.

Even though today's computers are about five years ahead of the historical period thanks to Luo Nianzhong, it's still very difficult to play on large maps online, let alone on older computers.

So after Luo Nianzhong gave a concept, Honor of Kings produced several simple maps, but there was only one large map where you could defuse bombs by clicking on them.

As for the purpose of recharging, of course it is to make money.

Just like Honor Games’ previous new products, the introduction is very simple. Honor Games hopes that players will experience it for themselves and look for ways to unlock more gameplay and easter eggs.

"Do you think that's enough? No, today's finale has not yet begun."

Everyone was stunned when they heard what Miyamoto said. Isn't this the grand prize? Is there an even bigger surprise coming?

"Now, let us welcome our protagonist today, the Kunlun 3D game engine."

Game engine? What is that?

“People who have made games and game fans know what it was like to develop a game in the past. It required game programmers to write the code for every game element from scratch, which was not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also a waste of resources.

But now it’s different. With the Kunlun game engine, everything will become simpler and development costs will be saved.

When we need a character to run fast in a new game, we don’t need to write code, we just need to take the code from the Kunlun game engine.

Things like the refraction of sunlight, the gait of the characters, and the addition of the external environment are all the same."

Shigeru Miyamoto talked incessantly about the Kunlun game engine on the stage, and Luo Nianzhong watched the live broadcast at home.

"Open?" Chris was a little confused as to why the Kunlun game engine, which cost so much to create, should be open for use.

This will greatly reduce the production costs and time of new games for other game companies. Wouldn't that give competitors an opportunity?

"Do you think if we don't open them up, they won't develop other game engines?"

"But the Honor of Kings game can be released one or two years later, so as to maximize the profits."

"Take a long-term view."

Chris snorted when Luo Nianzhong said that his vision was flawed, "Don't you just want to leave your opponents with no way out and make all game manufacturers adapt to using the Kunlun game engine?

But with this cost, can this newly established Kunlun Game Engine Company make money? "

Just like selling software, Kunlun Game Engine has an annual membership system. One account costs only US$9999 for one year, and members cost only US$ million.

If we throw out the company's maintenance and operating expenses, what will be left?

What's left? What's left is the future.

Currently, the profit of game engines is not huge, but the situation will be different in forty years. It will be like Qualcomm, where gold will always shine.

How much was the market value of game engine companies around 2015? None exceeded $ million.

What about after 2020? The market value of many leading companies has exceeded 50 billion US dollars, and the market value is still soaring.

Why? Because it’s cross-domain.

It can be used for everything from advertising and film and television drama shooting to aviation simulation driving and war military simulation.

For example, in Kiev, before entering reality, it is entirely possible to use the game engine to restore a complete one-to-one scene for simulation drills.

By then, the strategic value of this thing will come out, so what Luo Nianzhong needs to do now is to try to get as few companies as possible to embark on the path of developing game engines.

Little profit? Luo Nianzhong would do it whether he made no profit or lost money, because the future strategic value of this thing is too high.

Besides, apart from the gaming industry, no one pays attention to this thing now, which makes it convenient for Kunlun Game Engine to collect information in major cities around the world.

However, Luo Nianzhong would not tell Chris these, he just grinned.

Chris thought the other party was mocking him, so he kicked him in the waist and went upstairs angrily.

Luo Nianzhong turned his head and looked at the other person twisting her plump buttocks and said dissatisfiedly "You will be the one who will feel uncomfortable if you break it."
