Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Yu sent the message to everyone, but no one replied.

In the end, Wang Guang still called Papergames and learned that Xinghuo was treating them to dinner that night, and they felt bad refusing.

Wang Guang's expression changed immediately after hanging up the phone.

"Damn it, you're too embarrassed to refuse Xinghuo, but you have the nerve to refuse me?!"

~~~

Ultimately, Wang Guang was just too arrogant.

I feel like I can persuade others as soon as I arrive.

Unfortunately, he forgot.

Spark Carnival, Spark Carnival, this is Spark's territory.

From this point of view alone, Wang Guang is not as good as Yu Zhong.

Yu Zhong knew he was in for a bad time when he arrived today.

Wang Guang got angry.

Yu Zhong, who was standing to the side, put down his chopsticks and offered his advice.

"Mr. Wang, it's their loss that they didn't come today. Besides, haven't we already gathered information about it?"

"Isn't Xinghuo going to hold some kind of platform conference?"

"We're going too! Not only are we going, but we're also bringing a group of people to show those smaller studios who's the real leader in the domestic game industry."

In the anime/manga/games section.

Penguins are the challengers.

But in the larger market, Spark is actually the challenger.

Yu Zhong's casual remark reminded Wang Guang.

There is really no need for me to fight on the enemy's battlefield.

Think so.

His mind then opened up.

He couldn't persuade the developers of anime-style games.

On the other hand, companies like Shanda, Perfect World, Giant Interactive, Yoozoo, Snail Games, and 90% have collaborated with WEGAME quite a few times.

WEGAME was originally integrating domestic PC games.

Many older games have also launched servers on WEGAME, using Tencent's data traffic to extend their lifespan.

In addition, most of these traditional PC game developers have little to do with Spark.

But like penguins, they share a common pain point: they want to get a piece of the anime/manga world but can't.

But Xinghuo was eating heartily.

Normally, we keep to ourselves and don't interfere with each other, so that's fine.

But what if the penguins took the lead...?

Some things are not necessarily impossible, Wang Guang thought for a moment.

If it comes to the day when Xinghuo holds its grand meeting.

He brought the group of manufacturers to the site. Without saying anything else, each of them could find a small company, do nothing, and just throw money at it, and they could acquire a bunch of small factories.

Once they acquire it, what they do with it will be up to them.

As for how to persuade these major PC game companies to invest...

It's quite simple.

"These are the manufacturers that Spark values. If you don't come now, it will be too late once Spark has taken them all!"

It only takes one sentence.

Take ten thousand steps back.

Even if he did nothing, the mere sight of Wang Guang and his men sitting down in the audience would be a tremendous deterrent.

And there is a group of big companies supporting it.

Those small anime and manga studios, can't they see who the industry leader is?

Wouldn't it be easier to talk to the small factory then?

The key is.

This time, he went openly and honestly.

It's cool to think about it.

The only problem is that time is a bit tight.

Thinking of this, Wang Guang was so excited that he couldn't wait a moment longer and went straight back to his room to start making phone calls one by one.

~~~

Meanwhile, that night.

9 points.

Kazuo Hirai, who has stepped down as CEO of Sony, is reading in his study.

This is a habit he developed while working.

I'm currently reading a book about technology.

These books were all bought during his tenure, but he never had time to read them.

Many of these books are related to games, and there's even a book about Spark on the shelf.

It looks very strange.

However, it is not.

Kazuo Hirai is well-known to many gamers because he was once the chairman of Sony Electronic Entertainment, and the PSP and PS3 were products created during his tenure.

During the PS4 era, he also personally hosted the launch events for both the PS Vita and PS4.

Because of this experience, Kazuo Hirai often appears in front of players.

This is why Kazuo Hirai is remembered by players.

Compared to this.

Many people might not know the name of Kazuo Hirai's successor if they didn't search it on Baidu.

After stepping down.

Like many others, Kazuo Hirai often finds himself lost in memories.

Especially in the days since I relinquished power, I often find myself looking back at current technological advancements.

Although starting a second business is impossible.

But it's still good to know about industry trends and have some fun to relieve boredom.

He was reading a book when he suddenly received a phone call.

It was a call from Kazuya Eguchi, the current chairman of Sony Electronic Entertainment.

Speaking of which, Kazuya Eguchi and Kazuo Hirai followed him many years ago when he was still working at Sony Electronic Entertainment.

After Kazuo Hirai became CEO, he handed over the electronic entertainment division to him.

Jiang Kou has done a good job all these years.

But why would someone make a phone call at this hour?

Chapter 385 Kazuo Hirai's Judgment

Got the call.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Hirai Kazuo quickly understood what Eguchi wanted to say.

In short, Eguchi has a major decision regarding Sony Games and wants Kazuo Hirai to put in a good word for him with the current Sony CEO, Kenichiro Yoshida.

So, what does Kazuya Eguchi want to do?

answer.

He wanted Sony to invest in Spark, using investment to empower others, and empowerment to drive cooperation.

In fact, regarding the investment in Spark...

In the global capital market, it's not just Sony that has ideas; major international companies, including Tencent, also have similar thoughts.

But after Xinghuo announced its profits in Qiongzhou.

Nobody mentions this anymore.

The reason is simple: Spark's overseas revenue alone is already in the tens of billions of RMB per year.

You need to invest.

Let's not even talk about how much valuation you need for a company that makes 10 to 20 billion a year; can you even come up with that much cash?

Also.

Even if you have money.

It's uncertain whether people will even consider this amount of money.

However, in Kazuya Eguchi's view, this impossibility is not entirely impossible for Sony.

Sony is Sony after all.

Their global influence and channels are different.

Even if Sony can't help with money, Kazuya Eguchi believes that Sony can help Spark in many other ways.

However, Jiang Kou also knew how profitable Xinghuo was.

Therefore, to discuss this matter, we must persuade the current Sony CEO, Kenichiro Yoshida, to utilize the power of Sony, rather than the power of Sony Entertainment.

Unfortunately, the documents he submitted today did not receive approval from Kenichiro Yoshida.

Ever since.

Kazuya Eguchi had no choice but to turn around and go find Kazuo Hirai again.

This move is actually the same as Wang Wei turning to Lin Li after failing to persuade Bandai Namco.

They all encountered problems at work and went to their superiors.

At this time, although Kazuo Hirai had stepped down as CEO, he had not yet resigned and was still serving as the nominal chairman.

The power transition with Kenichiro Yoshida was also smooth, and the two had a good relationship.

If Hirai Kazuo were to invite Yoshida Kenichiro to dinner at this time, the latter would definitely attend.

However, Hirai Kazuo would not easily do something that would save face.

"Is that carnival at Xinghuo really that extravagant?"

On the other end of the phone, Kazuya Eguchi nodded.

"The claim of 50 million cumulative views might be a bit of an exaggeration, but it's probably close enough, and it's likely true. Their 'Fate's Trajectory' project is incredibly popular in China..."

Jiang Kou's statement contained two pieces of information.

One is that it has been viewed by a total of 50 million people.

This spark was commemorated after the first day of the carnival, based on a statistic featured on the poster.

The celebratory poster mentioned that nearly 5000 million accounts worldwide viewed the carnival video, and the number of downloads on the Spark platform exceeded 500 million.

These two sets of data demonstrate that the event was a great success.

It's important to understand that this isn't the number of online users or the number of views, but rather the number of times the account has been accessed.

As for the second information.
