Chapter 120 Leaving the Demon City(1/2)
Chapter 120 Leaving the Magic City
January 30th is the Little New Year in the South, with only 6 days left before the Spring Festival.
Peace Hotel, Room 703.
A large color TV that can receive satellite signals is broadcasting news from Japan.
After five days of eliminations, three days of regular season, and two days of top 12, the Mecha Three Kingdoms has finally entered the regional finals.
Participating players and mechanical enthusiasts gathered from villages and towns to counties, and then to prefectures and cities. There were fewer and fewer competition teams, but more and more on-site audiences.
After knowing that TEP (China) rejected the dealer authorization, the Japanese distributors understood that this business could continue. In order to make more money and obtain the qualification of "agent", they invested more operating funds.
this day.
Miyazaki, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Okayama, Kobe, Nagoya, etc., twenty cities, twenty of the most famous local basketball stadiums, are overcrowded.
A mechanical Three Kingdoms hot air balloon floats high in the sky.
Promotional posters for various mechanical characters are scattered outside the venue.
100 Japanese coin vouchers and 9.9% off coupons can be seen everywhere in people’s hands...
There are also many Japanese TV stations starting live broadcasts at the scene.
"This is not a game, this is a brand new sport that covers mental calculations, tests the unity of hand and eye, and incorporates mechanical structure and mechanical power!"
"What it strives for is wisdom, strategy, and control of the normal rhythm of the game!"
On the TV screen, the reporter from Japan was preaching excitedly.
And on the left side of the screen, the winning rate statistics are given.
China Dongshan Division: Cao Cao 92%, Zhang Song 73%...
Nanbangzi first division: Cao Cao 95%, Pang Tong 81%...
Japanese island comprehensive competition area: Cao Cao 96%, Wen Chou 62%...
Bottom generals: Zhao Yun 1%, Zhou Yu 2%, Ma Chao 3%...
Following the report, the camera switched and showed several close-ups of the five grand ceremony-level and five prefabricated machines from the Three Kingdoms.
Metal booths, metal table cards, glass display cabinets, rotating mechanical characters...
And announced the news that the TEP (Nagoya) directly-operated store will open next month.
Xu Fei ate breakfast, read the report, and called to the military advisors who were sitting in the distance to discuss matters.
"Why did Cao Cao's winning rate suddenly increase?"
"I don't know. Cao Cao has been on the shelves for a long time. In the knockout stage, his strength was average. Unexpectedly, he entered the regional finals and suddenly became the main player."
"I guess players have discovered new ways to play."
In the past ten days of competition, players were stimulated by huge bonuses and racked their brains to study the collision gameplay.
At the beginning, I only knew how to arrange different characters to appear in three venues.
Later, I figured out how to turn the upper force, not to full force, or to half force, to reduce the intensity of collision, and to resist the impact of the opposite character just by relying on the character's posture.
Later, I adjusted the character's hand movements, increased the forward angle of the body, and changed the cloak within the rules...
For example, Cao Ren put up his battle shield and moved slowly. Unless he encountered a cavalry commander, he would be a 'Standing God'.
For example, if Zhou Tai removes the decoration on his upper body, the spring can still be twisted two and a half times more, giving it a faster and more powerful impact.
For example, Lu Meng could defeat Guan Yu easily by wearing Madam Mi's white cloak.
As more new gameplays are developed, contestants have to purchase more mechanical characters and conduct in-depth research in order to ensure victory.
And the emergence of each new way of playing has driven the entire toy market.
"So, the game has to go on."
"What does the factory director mean to hold the second session?"
"No, after the regional finals, the national championship will start. I believe the Japanese distributors will be happy to spend money."
"What about our country?"
"There must be an offseason for the competition to take the opportunity to digest the market. The national championship is scheduled for March 15. China will organize a comprehensive competition area. The same is true for Nanbangzi and Wodao. Players who have already qualified for the regional finals are not allowed to participate in the new round of knockout competitions.
, but they can directly participate in the national competition."
"After the national championship, there will be another offseason, and then we will continue to hold the comprehensive competition, and finally there will be a global finals?"
"It makes sense. If we stick to it until school starts in the summer, the 1999-2000 season will be considered a perfect end.
When the 00-01 season starts in November, mechanical characters with one skill or two skill versions will be launched.
In this way, the old machinery of the Three Kingdoms will basically be eliminated, and we will gain a new market."
The head of the military division thought of 'Meng Zhang Fei' who had been stocking up, "The factory director is really a genius at making toys."
"Leave this matter to the operations center."
"Okay... By the way, factory manager, Bandai Company came to see us while we were discussing cooperation with Carlyle."
"Oh? What do you want?"
"They designed a set of mechanical generals from ancient Japan, including Oda Nobunaga, Takeda Shingen, Tokugawa Ieyasu, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Hattori Hanzo, and Sanada Yukimura... They said they would use OEM methods and ask us to produce each set.
The price is the same as that of Jichao Sanguo.”
"Are these all characters from the Three Kingdoms?"
"No, it should belong to a famous general or ninja in the history of Japan."
"Are we short of money?"
"There is no shortage. We just received US$1.3 billion."
"Then what's the point of asking this kind of question?"
"..."
Seeing that the military advisors were silent, Xu Fei pushed the remaining half bowl of lotus seed porridge to the vicious dog that was staring at him intently, and motioned to the little secretary sitting next to him peeling oranges to switch the TV channel.
Magic City-STV morning news:
‘The Wadao office is still cleaning up debris, and six staff members have been found so far, but Wadao cannot provide relevant identity information...’
'The specific details are under further investigation...'
Three days ago, that is, after the first meeting with Carlyle Investments.
Xu Fei escorted Raymond to the North American Office in Shanghai and said hello to the 50 SEALs in turn.
At that time, I was curious about what people were doing inside the consulate, so I casually called out the small map and took a look...
I never expected that in the palm-sized explored area, just like dragon fruit grown in Daze, today we will have another bumper harvest, with a dazzling array of red fruits.
Xu Fei was curious and contacted the SEALs.
Let the other party pick eight purple-red, almost ripe dragon fruits at night, and exchange planting experiences.
They are all cultural people.
Either work in a foreign company, work in a newspaper, or work in an office...
Is it so stressful to work now? You are doing a high-paying job, but you still have to do farming in your spare time.
after that…
We don’t know who picked those ripe purple-red dragon fruits.
Anyway, when we return to Huangnigang, we must learn about the usage specifications of high-power electrical appliances.
After what happened, the whole world seemed to be much silent.
Especially today, many overseas journalists stay at the Peace Hotel.
It seems to be concerned about the Wajima Office in Magic City.
He also seems to be concerned about the recently released sequel to Journey to the West.
Xu Fei thought of this and turned his wrist to check the time. There were still ten minutes left before the broadcast of the real and fake Monkey King.
At this time.
The second secretary stepped on her high heels and pushed open the door of room 703, "The director of the factory and the person in charge of Huangpu, the magical city, are here to visit."
"Are you coming?"
"It's downstairs, be up soon."
"Let me go down. After all, his position is about the same as that of Cheng Guang, the leader of Ze City."
Xu Fei tidied up his clothes and walked out of the house. When he came to the stairs, he met a middle-aged man about fifty years old.
After the introduction by the second secretary, both parties greeted each other.
"Director Xu is really young and promising. I just learned that in Huangpu, a US$1.8 billion project has just been completed."
"The leadership has given too much credit. I'm just going through the motions with foreign companies' projects."
"Chief Sun doesn't say that."
"Ha, please come in."
Just like that, the 703 living room has been tidied up.
The sofa is as clean as new, with the village chief's vicious dog lying beside it, and drinks, small red flags and corporate flags placed on the coffee table.
The military advisors went into the inner room to discuss matters, and the secretary stood aside waiting for instructions.
Xu Fei and the person in charge of Huangpu sat next to each other.
"Director Xu is busy with his affairs, so I won't beat around the bush."
To be continued...
