Chapter 278 Fools There is no consensus
within the Reflecta Group on the console business and Linmu Studio. There are two factions. One faction believes that business is business, chips can be customized, and they make money anyway, so there is no need to push high-quality partners into the arms of their opponents. In addition, the competition for traditional consoles is too fierce. You have to know that they were able to acquire Bushnell's console business because Bushnell was defeated in the console market. Reflecta had the idea of making consoles because of the huge cash flow brought by graphics cards and the partner of Linmu Studio. Linmu Studio later lost interest, but at this time Reflecta had reached an agreement again. In addition, it was indeed jealous of the revenue from games and had a mature supply chain, so it threw itself into it. But now Linmu Studio suddenly wants to make consoles... Now that their yearbook plan is so popular, it also shows that Linmu Studio has the strength and ability to produce masterpieces for its own consoles that are interesting enough for players. A steady stream of masterpieces. In this case. Does Reflecta really have to plunge into the console market? Not only does it have to challenge the vested interests in the current market, but it also has to deal with Linmu Studio? This is too much of a thankless task. It is better to just give up, either cooperate with Linmu Studios to develop, or sell the studios and projects prepared for the console in a package, either to Linmu Studios or to others. Anyway, stop the loss in time and use the money to invest in more stable projects. The other faction does not think so. They think that the recent situation of the game can be seen, and it has been improving all the way. Even if the revenue brought by the game is not considered, the publicity effect of the games under Linmu Studios on the graphics card brand alone is enough to make up their minds to get involved. Linmu Studios can make games, so can't the first-party studios acquired by Reflecta do so? Not to mention that Reflecta specializes in hardware and has a natural advantage in cost control. Even if it is like the other two, selling machines at a loss and making money from software. They have money and can afford it. Why sell it in a package? And if we give up at this juncture, who will be responsible for the losses caused by the initial investment? Yes, Linmu Studios helped us a lot in the early stage of the game, but we can't just give up because they entered the console market and their yearbook plan is quite popular? So is Reflecta an independent company or a subsidiary of the other party? In short. Both sides seem to have their reasons. In the end, no one gave in, and they just argued whether Reflecta should continue to make consoles. The opposing faction attacked the other faction, saying that the console had great potential in the past because of Linmu Studio. Now the other party not only does not make games for Reflecta, but also wants to enter the console market by itself. Reflecta still insists on it. If it fails, it will cause huge losses! The supporters must do it, asking whether Linmu Studio is a partner or the headquarters? If they don't do it, can't they do it themselves? In short. Whether to customize and supply for Linmu Studio has become secondary... In fact, it is normal for this situation to occur. After all, the decision of Reflecta to enter the console market involved factional disputes within the company, and when it involves certain key interests, there will always be cliques and small groups. And those who have not gained benefits will also spontaneously unite to fight against a few vested interests. Now it is nothing more than a continuation of factional disputes. On the other side. Zhang Jianghu sat in his office, looking at the directors who were arguing on the screen, and felt a little headache. He didn't expect that it would develop like this in the end. He was one of the factions that advocated Reflecta to be the host, because he was in China and had a deeper impression of the success of Linmu Studio and the speed at which games made money. Of course, he was not a fool. He was also aware of the risks of entering the traditional host market. The reason why he wanted to persuade Lin Yao so much and wanted her to cooperate with Reflecta in development was that he had the idea of tying Linmu Studio to the chariot. Reflecta was backed by Linmu Studio. With the acquisition of many first-party studios, the risk would be greatly reduced. In addition, he did not clearly stand on the side, because the actual controller of the group had not made a clear statement. When he told Lin Yao that he could not make the decision, it was indeed not a courtesy. This matter is actually quite complicated. Although he has a high voice now, it is not high enough to suppress all the directors. "Ahem." Seeing that everyone was still arguing. The man on the first seat, Glenn John, the current helmsman of Reflecta, coughed lightly and finally spoke: "... Zhang, what do you think?" But unexpectedly. He did not rush to express his opinion, but looked at Zhang Jianghu and asked him to express his opinion. Zhang Jianghu's achievements during this period are still very recognized. The two factions that were arguing also looked at Zhang Jianghu. This global vice president who has recently become famous. "..." Zhang Jianghu faced the gazes of the crowd. Although separated by the screen, he still straightened his expression and said calmly: "I agree with Director Jeremy's point of view. Giving up the host business at this juncture will cause too much loss in the initial investment. There is no reason, but..."
Zhang Jianghu changed the subject: "What Director Qiao said makes sense. From a business perspective, chips can be customized... After all, the yearbook plan is so eye-catching now. There is no need for us to be at odds with Linmu Studio, at least not now. As the main sponsor of their event, we enjoy the highest exposure. If we become enemies now, we will most likely lose this opportunity forever, and our competitors will take the opportunity to replace us..."
Glenn John's expression remained unchanged, and he asked, "So what you mean is that our console business will continue, and we will also provide hardware support for Linmu Studio, which may become our biggest competitor in the future?"
"No... Although I thought so at first."
Zhang Jianghu shook his head: "But after I came back, I specifically asked the technical staff within the group, and came to a conclusion that even surprised myself-the console that Linmu Studio wants to make may not really be in direct competition with our console. The performance of the customized GPU they require is too weak, so weak that it is unbelievable."
"Oh?" Glenn John was a little curious.
Zhang Jianghu explained the requirements of Linmu Studio in detail, and then said: "With this kind of performance, the technicians told me that it is impossible to run a game like Breakout that pursues realistic depiction smoothly.
Even if it is possible,
the picture quality will be greatly reduced.
When Lin Yao, the head of Linmu Studio, talked to me, he actually mentioned this point specifically, and also talked about their console idea, handheld + console. But now it seems that they should focus more on handheld."
"That means... they want to make a handheld game? They want to give up their advantages!?"
Glenn John was shocked after hearing this.
You know, Breakout, which made Linmu Studio famous, won by relying on its graphics. Now they have to give up what they are good at to make a console.
What kind of idiot is this?
