"Our products have no issues. Based on feedback from all our custors who have purchased, they still love our products. They work well for both office work and light entertainnt. However, our computer business continues to decline. Conversely, Morgan Group's personal computer system sales, which experienced a slow decline similar to ours, suddenly began to rise rapidly a few months ago, now returning to their previous peak sales period."
Myles Case stood in front of the projection, answering each data point.
Finally, soone couldn't resist speaking up again: "Why is this happening? Do they have so governnt orders for their operating system?"
"No, it's not governnt orders. Now I can show you sothing new."
Myles Case shook his head and then picked up the remote control for the projector and pressed a button.
Then a new image appeared on the projector, which was a promotional poster with impactful English words, roughly translated to an destruction of tal, doom, fate, and so on.
On the poster was a soldier holding a firearm, wearing a futuristic combat suit, calmly facing the onslaught of monsters like a tidal wave.
"This is... Doom?"
Among the shareholders, soone recognized the poster.
Because he had played it before, and even got addicted to it for a few days.
"Yes, it's Doom. This is a ga that can be run on computers, but our computers can't run it because we use our own operating system."
"Are you suggesting that a ga has boosted sales for Morgan Group's operating system? That sounds absurd, doesn't it? It's just an entertainnt product."
So shareholders began to voice their doubts.
"I thought the sa way at first. How could entertainnt products be compared to real industrial or comrcial products? One is an indispensable tool for work, while the other is just for personal enjoynt. But in the end, the result showed that after Doom was released, sales of Morgan Group's operating system began to rise again. They even conducted a joint advertising campaign."
Myles Case pressed the remote control again, and a video clip played.
It was gaplay footage from Doom.
In Morgan Group's DOS operating system, Doom could be better supported by hardware, so the graphics and effects were better, making Doom more realistic.
There wasn't much to say about the combat scenes. What mattered was that just before the advertisent ended, it seed that the dinsional wall was suddenly broken, and the first-person character appeared in the video. It turned out that the first-person character in the video was the CEO of Morgan Group at the ti, wearing futuristic armor and holding a weapon, charging forward.
Then the CEO of Morgan Group held a weapon stylishly and said to the screen, "Do you want to fight alongside ? Then enter the world of glorious legends in the DOS!"
Finally, the video ended with the logos of DOS and DOOM.
"This ad was released personally by Morgan Group shortly after Doom beca popular. " Myles Case said slowly.
This ad was also fild in Takayuki's original world, and it was shot by none other than Bill Gates, the CEO of Microsoft.
The content of the ad was almost identical, which was also Takayuki's handwriting. It was Morgan Group that actively contacted Takayuki, wanting to expand both parties' influence and then engage in a brief cooperation.
Although Morgan Group disliked the ga consoles from GaStar Entertainnt, it couldn't deny that Doom had boosted their operating system sales.
Later, the CEO of Morgan Group personally decided to cooperate with GaStar Entertainnt. In business competition, wins and losses were common. If a company felt embarrassed because its products were squeezed out by others, it lacked the deanor of a big company.
Moreover, the CEO of Morgan Group quite admired Takayuki because he felt that Takayuki was similar to himself. Both of them ca from a technical background and remained loyal to technology, rather than wanting to make money by relying on capital after growing up and becoming boring capitalists.
...
After Myles Case finished explaining, several shareholders remained silent for a long ti.
Suddenly, one of the shareholders spoke with so resentnt: "Damn Doom, damn GaStar Entertainnt."
He was the shareholder who had previously been addicted to Doom, but now he felt that Doom was simply a product of the devil. He swore that he would never touch it again in his life.
"Myles, what do you think?"
Hearing soone ask this question, Myles controlled the projector again, and a completely new image appeared.
"I want to pursue a dual approach now. Among them, I plan to launch a new product, and I have already been researching with the product departnt and the technical departnt. This new product is a personal smart mobile phone. I want to enter the mobile phone business, bypassing the squeeze from electronic gas, and continue to maintain the developnt of personal computers and our operating systems, although the priority will be lowered for now."
"Huh? Do you want to bypass competition with GaStar Entertainnt? Am I hearing this correctly? Our company, RedFruit, has been so intimidated by an outsider that even our personal computer business is being squeezed out of business, and you want us to bypass it?" a major shareholder expressed dissatisfaction with Myles's plan.
RedFruit Company was still a well-known company in the United States, but it was scared off by an outsider. Trying to bypass the opponent's comrcial attacks and do other brand-new businesses sounded unreliable no matter how it was heard.
Myles Case had anticipated the shareholders' doubts. He imdiately explained, "In my opinion, bypassing is the most reasonable choice because GaStar Entertainnt is really strong in the field of electronic gas, just like Morgan Group dominates in computer operating systems. I think we shouldn't waste more energy on industries that others have already dominated but actively explore new areas."
He pointed his finger at the mobile phone still in the draft stage on the projection.
"I've been thinking, since personal computers can have operating systems, then mobile phones can also have operating systems, right? The Eaton Group previously attempted mobile operating systems in a rudintary way and already had a certain market. I believe we can also enter this field."
"I disagree," a shareholder shook his head. "This is an industry we have never touched before, and the future is uncertain. It's not clear whether people really need this thing. We should spend money on industries that have already proven successful."
"That's right, I agree. Since GaStar Entertainnt's ga consoles are so popular, we can also develop a ga console just like theirs."
