"Boss, what do you think of watty''s suggestion before?"


    When the other cheerful discussions left the conference room, Edward was left alone in the video, and Edward asked seriously.


    "Computer games?"


    After Arthur asked a question, he frowned slightly and pondered for a moment, then his eyes firmly shook his head and said, "we only focus on making mobile games. Although the console game market is very young, compared with the potential of mobile games, it is still too small!"


    "Boss, according to market research, Britons spent 1.73 billion pounds on video games in 2009. According to figures from the British Film Association, the box office of British films in the same period was 1 billion pounds, while the sales of DVD and Blu ray films were 198 million pounds, which was still 500 million pounds less than that of the video game industry.


    According to statistics, the number of game consoles in Britain was 13.5 million in 2008, and increased to more than 25 million in 2009, equivalent to 90% of all households in the UK. More than the popularity of computers.


    With a total of 34.7 million players, the UK is the fifth largest game market in the world, and its annual sales are only behind those of footwell, Germany and the white headed eagle. Seventy one percent of British players choose to play terminal games on TV screens, the second largest number in the world, after France.


    Console games are very popular in Europe, and we can''t ignore this market! "


    When he heard that the boss wanted to give up the console game market, Edward was a little worried. Since he wanted to take video games as his future career, he would not have no ambition. The giants in the industry, such as ea, Ubisoft and Nintendo, were the targets he wanted to catch up with.


    But if you really only do mobile games, in Edward''s view, it is undoubtedly giving up a big cake. You know, in the game field, the host game is the peak, PC network games and mobile games are slightly behind!


    Arthur fully understands Edward''s attitude. However, he will not change his decision. Not only is the development cycle of the host game too long and the investment is huge, but more importantly, with the popularity of smart phones, the global general volume of mobile phones has reached a terrible step. Moreover, with the rapid development of mobile phone configuration, the later smart phones have also reached The point of playing a higher level of play.


    Therefore, instead of spending human and financial resources to build a host game development team from scratch, it is better to concentrate on the development of mobile games, and can also produce mobile game masterpieces.


    Although mobile games have not developed for a few years, due to the limitations of mobile phones, the quality of mobile games is still very poor, and there is no way to compare them with console games.


    However, in the situation that the console game is becoming saturated in the global market, it is really unnecessary to enter this market and those giants to grab food. Moreover, the emergence of smart phones has made many game manufacturers'' eyes shift. From plants to zombies, angry birds for the beginning, in fact, the real smartphone game market has opened the prelude.


    The future will be the "era of mobile phone games"!


    Of course, the most important thing is that the overall return rate of mobile games is higher than that of the host computer and PC, and the krypton gold enthusiasm of players is also higher.


    "Edward, if I remember correctly, the largest share of the UK game market is in social games, followed by TV and terminals. More than 60% of the players will pay for the game or buy the game currency in the game, which is the third most expensive in the world. Germany and Canada are the first and second, right? "


    Arthur asked with a smile, but without waiting for Edward to answer, he continued: "the production and development cycle of console games is too long. For our number one player studio, it''s a bit more than the loss. I think the most important thing we should do now is to develop the talking John cat as soon as possible.


    This is a product that can really occupy the market of social leisure games. It will not be worse than any host game, and even more popular with players of different ages. "


    Edward was a little disappointed when he heard that the boss still insisted on his decision. He did not hide his disappointment. However, he listened to Arthur''s decision and said, "I see, boss, I will focus on the development progress of talking John cat for a while.


    However, I still think that we can''t give up the console game market completely. After all, in terms of game consumption, the proportion of console games is still the highest, and the per capita consumption is five times that of mobile games. The main buyers of console games are in North America and Western Europe, while PC and mobile game paying users mainly come from the Asia Pacific region


    "Ha ha, I understand all of these. In fact, I haven''t given up the console game market completely. It''s just that our studio is just rising, and we don''t have so much manpower and financial resources to take into account the development of other game types. You should be more aware of this than I am."


    "It''s not that there is no way to have the best of both worlds..."


    Hearing this, Edward''s eyes lit up and looked at the boss in the video window with expectant eyes, waiting for the boss to solve the mystery."After making our studio stronger and bigger, we will acquire other console game studios to complete overtaking on the curve!" Arthur said with a sly smile.


    Edward could not help shaking his head and laughing, but his eyes became more firm and said confidently, "don''t worry, boss, this day will not be too far away."


    "Ha ha, I look forward to seeing this day come!" Arthur''s bright smile encouraged him that he liked Edward''s ambition in his career. In this way, he would be full of motivation to keep running forward and make more profits.


    At the end of the video conference, Arthur stood in front of the French window and stretched out. Looking out of the window, the sky turned dark, the snow was flying, and the white sky and sky were the same. The scenery in the snow of the capital was really beautiful.


    At about 6:30, Wu Qiang visited again and invited Arthur to have dinner with him. This time, instead of eating Manchu and Han banquet and Tan''s cuisine, he drove to Qianmen again.


    "Three must be eaten in Beijing. Roast duck, DongLaiShun and daoxiangcun pastry. Cold weather is to eat hot pot instant boiled mutton! Instant boiled mutton, the most authentic brand of DongLaiShun, was founded in 1903 and is now a century old shop. "


    A group of people got out of the car and stood in front of DongLaiShun restaurant. Wu Qiang pointed to the plaque and introduced Arthur with a smile.


    "I''ve heard a lot about you, too." Looking at the plaque, Arthur said with a smile.


    "Oh? I must have heard from Miss Jiang. "Wu Qiang reached out and invited Arthur to go first, then walked into DongLaiShun side by side, laughing and joking.


    "No, I heard about it before I met her. When I was in middle school, I had a roommate from China. He told me a lot about the Chinese culture. He once told me how delicious the mutton is here."


    "Oh? Do you have a classmate and roommate from China? No wonder Wu Qiang said suddenly.


    "Ha ha, my classmate is a standard gourmet. We get along very well. Later, he went to university in the United States, and he lost contact. However, I still remember that his greatest wish is to eat all the food." Arthur pretended to frown and think, and then, as if unable to remember, he said, "well, what''s the name? That''s the office in the capital city?"


    "Do you want to say ZJ does it?" Wu Qiang immediately responded.


    "Yes, yes, that''s the term. He said it would be a great achievement of his life if he could eat all the specialties of the office." Said Arthur, nodding quickly.


    "Ha ha, you are a classmate Wu Qiang shakes his head and laughs. He doesn''t say that the other party is a foodie. After all, the word "Chuhuo" is slightly derogatory. It''s hard to avoid making people unhappy when he evaluates Arthur''s friends in this way.


    "What, is it hard to do? I mean, eat all the office specials. " Arthur asked curiously.


    "Ha ha, it''s not difficult, but it''s not easy. If you want to know that there are 60000 families, one for each meal, it''s not only financial resources, but also time. Ha ha..." Wu Qiang said with a laugh.
