America started as a game

Li Hua inspected the company and then left. He said it was an inspection, but in fact he just came to take a look. After all, there were only a few people in the company, and there was nothing else.

At the same time, he also needs to communicate with De La Hoya. Things on De La Hoya's side are also very important.

Regarding the production price, quality, etc. of game cartridges, Hoya needs to communicate with the factory.

Li Hua, on the other hand, could only spend approximately 400,000 US dollars on making game cartridges.

In addition to using the other money to develop games, Li Hua also needs to keep it for promotional expenses.

This time is not like the last time "Custer's Revenge", because it has a social impact, so there is no need for Li Hua to spend money on publicity. He only needs to write some soft articles, and the media will naturally report it.

…………

As Christmas approaches, various promotions are also being carried out. Among them, what Li Hua is most concerned about is naturally Atari's new game "E.T. Alien".

"E.T. Alien" is an adaptation of the science fiction blockbuster film by the famous director Spielberg.

The copyright fee alone is an astronomical figure, and there are also various stringent conditions.

Atari's parent company Warner Communications specially developed this game because it originally took a fancy to the huge popularity of "E.T. Alien" and wanted to use it to resist various third-party bad games while continuing to expand the market and itself.

of influence.

But Warner is just thinking about it, because they just think that as long as the publicity is in place, the rest will not matter.

After all, Warner Communications and Universal Pictures only agreed on the production rights and adaptation rights in July.

Warner also required it to be put on the market during the Christmas holiday, so the production time was quite tight and was directly compressed to six weeks.

In the end, the game was successfully completed because of the famous senior game designer Howard Scott Warshaw.

This person's ability is very strong. If it were anyone else, in a short period of time, not to mention completing the adaptation and production of "E.T. Alien", even the preliminary work would not be completed.

And this is a large-scale game. It is simply impossible to complete it in just six weeks.

But Howard has just completed it. No matter how well the game is produced, at least it is completed. This is not something ordinary people can do.

Let's put it this way, for the game "Super Mario Bros.", even though Li Hua had already prepared all the plans, Sandy still spent nearly a month on it.

Although this is due to the fact that Li Hua's requirements are somewhat high, we have to admit Howard's ability.

The promotion of "E.T. Alien" was in full swing, and the entire game market began to become lively, showing a prosperous scene, but what Li Hua saw was a carnival before the end.

…………

"Basically met my requirements." Under the expectant gazes of Sandy, Professor Meredith and others, Li Hua said this.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes were filled with joy, which meant that they could get the final payment.

After a month of busy work, I finally completed the task.

Li Hua had no intention of delaying payment and settled their wages on the spot.

After Meredith got the money, she left immediately, but Sandy didn't leave in a hurry.

He still had some questions he wanted to ask Li Hua, especially those related to games.

In this month, Sandy has been thinking about this game a lot. The more he thinks about it, the more amazing it feels!

This game has almost reached what Sandy considers to be perfect in every aspect!

In particular, this game is not a big production in terms of game background or various gameplay.

But the more this happened, the more incredible it seemed to Sandy. At the same time, this was researched by Li Hua alone, which made him even more unbelievable.

So during this period of time, Sandy accumulated a lot of questions, just wanting to ask Li Hua.

Facing Sandy's inquiry, Li Hua just smiled and said: "These questions are nothing, but we can't communicate too much now, but I believe that we will have the opportunity to communicate in the future."

What Li Hua said was profound, and Sandy quickly understood what Li Hua meant.

But he still didn't think he would leave Atari and come work for Li Hua.

Although the game "Super Mario Bros." did surprise him enough, there are still too many differences between Li Hua and Atari.

They are not on the same level at all. It is not an exaggeration to say they are ants and elephants.

To this day, no one has ever thought that anyone can surpass Atari in the gaming industry.

In fact, Atari's share of the gaming market is so high that it can really be said to be a monopoly.

Sandy sighed and said with some disappointment: "I hope so."

He just said this casually, and after saying that, he was ready to leave.

After all, Li Hua didn't want to communicate with him about games, so there was no need for him to stay.

Li Hua didn't try to persuade him to stay, he just said: "There must be a chance."

Li Hua is very satisfied with Sandy. His personal creative ability may not be very strong. After all, until now, he has not made a popular game.

But Sandy's execution was no problem at all, and he basically completed the various tasks assigned by Li Hua perfectly.

This is also what Li Hua values.

After they all left, Li Hua called Hoya and Horace over.

Now Horace has made his intentions clear, which is to invest in Li Hua. As long as anything happens to Li Hua, he will be the first to get it.

"Hoya, I'll leave the game production to you. The price will be eight dollars," Li Hua said.

This is the cost price and is also the result of De La Hoya's long-term efforts.

Otherwise, it would be really not easy for a newcomer and a new company to get this price.

"Do we really want to directly customize 50,000 sets of game cartridges? Isn't this too much?" Hoya advised.

"I talked with those factories. In fact, we can produce about 10,000 sets at first. If there are really not enough to sell, we can add more."

"Although the cost will be higher, the risk is also much lower."

Horace actually wanted to persuade Li Hua. He also thought that this was too risky. If this failed, Li Hua might be completely in trouble.

Not only will all the previous profits have to be lost, but a lot of money will also be owed, and there will also be taxes.

These all need to be borne by Li Hua.

Li Hua knew Hoya's worries and said confidently: "I am confident that the sale of 50,000 sets will be successful this time because I only have so much money now."

"Don't worry, considering that the previous game was able to sell 100,000 units, this game will not be low."

Li Hua began to cheer them up, and at the same time he was expressing his confidence.
