America started as a game

After chatting with Sandy, Li Hua came to the R&D department again.

Lyndon had already started working, the funds were in place, and his enthusiasm was ignited.

Like Sandy, Lyndon also has a lot of love for video games, but he prefers the development and application of game consoles rather than the video games themselves.

With enthusiasm, funds, and the support of his boss, Linden is full of energy at this time!

Li Hua took a look at the research and development progress, then gave some encouragement and went back to deal with his own affairs.

The development progress of the game console is very gratifying, because Linden has already had an idea.

Once we have ideas, many things will be easier to handle, and Li Hua also put forward some targeted opinions, so the progress is very fast.

One of the reasons why Lin Deng was immediately persuaded by Li Hua was because of the idea of ​​​​the game console.

He had long wanted to develop a better game console, and did not want to be dominated by the Atari 2600.

But when Fairchild had given up on the video game industry, he could only keep these ideas and blueprints in his heart.

When I originally thought that I would never have the chance to make the design in my mind, the opportunity actually came.

Linden did not want to go to Atari. In addition to looking down on Atari's business ideas, it was also because he had no power to make decisions when he arrived at Atari and could only help others.

But it is different in Qingshan Company. The boss Li Hua will only put forward some requirements. As for how to operate and how to develop, he doesn't care at all. He can completely follow his own design ideas.

……………

As soon as Li Hua came back from school, he heard someone from Atari looking for him, which shocked him.

Atari has noticed him now?

It shouldn’t be. Although I’ve been dancing very happily recently, compared to Atari, it’s really not worth mentioning.

The person who came was called Allen, one of the top executives of Atari. Coming here this time was considered as giving them enough face. Of course, this was what they thought.

"Hello, Mr. Allen." Li Hua smiled and stretched out his hand to shake Allen's hand.

No matter what, at this stage, Li Hua is naturally unwilling to have any conflict with Atari.

You know, not to mention now, even in a few years, Atari will still be the largest game company in the United States.

The foundation is really too strong, and there are no American game companies that can compete at this time.

Therefore, it is not appropriate to have conflicts with them before you are still young.

Allen smiled and greeted Li Hua politely, and then went straight to the point, "Mr. Li, as far as I know, your Qingshan Company has been slandering our Atari Company."

When Allen came here this time, he naturally wanted to buy "Super Mario Bros.", but negotiation also requires skill, so he applied pressure as soon as he came up, so as to achieve the best results.

But Li Hua looked puzzled, "Mr. Allen, you are mistaken. I did not slander Atari. Have you been deceived by someone?"

Allen knew that Li Hua would deny it, and thinking about it, no one dared to say this kind of thing to their Atari face to face.

"We have evidence that the reports in these newspapers are not written by their reporters. If this is the case, we will choose to sue their newspapers directly." Allen handed over a pile of newspapers.

They didn't care about these things before, but now that they can use them, they naturally start to care about them.

Li Hua looked at it and said, "I said everything above, but I didn't slander you."

Allen's brows suddenly wrinkled, this guy is really not that easy to fool.

"It's clearly written on it that you slandered our company, and you still want to deny it?" Allen said nothing, but naturally someone beside him spoke.

Li Hua said unhurriedly: "I respect your company very much. Atari is the leader of our entire game industry. I say all this so that Atari can play its due role and promote the game industry."

It’s just healthy development.”

"Is it wrong to tell the truth?"

Seeing Li Hua like this, Allen knew that his move would not scare him.

Although I felt a little regretful, I simply pointed it out directly.

"Oh, so that's what you think. It seems that we misunderstood you." Allen laughed.

However, Li Hua cheered up and said: "We just want the gaming industry to be better."

Allen smiled and said: "In that case, I just have an idea here. Your company's "Super Mario Bros." game is quite good, and it also has some inspiration for our company."

"We want to buy this game, study it carefully, and improve it along the way. What do you think?"

Li Hua's brows suddenly furrowed. He knew that Atari was coming with bad intentions, but he didn't expect that his appetite was so big.

It was impossible to sell, but Li Hua did not refuse directly, but asked: "How much are you willing to pay?"

When Allen heard this, he thought Li Hua was interested in selling.

But think about it, what does a young man who has little social experience and has just entered the industry know?

In other words, you just relied on good luck to make a hit game.

It's enough to earn so much now.

Thinking of this, Allen looked a little disdainfully at Li Hua, and raised his chin slightly, "Don't worry, we will never let you suffer. We will buy out all the copyrights of this game for 20 million US dollars."

In fact, Allen originally wanted to say 10 million, but this was based on being able to scare Li Hua from the beginning.

Now that I am not scared, I will naturally increase the price.

Li Hua laughed, "Maybe Mr. Allen doesn't understand the sales volume of our games, right?"

Allen raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean? Not satisfied?"

"As far as I know, your game sales have dropped significantly and will continue to decline in the future. The price we have given is the result of market research."

Li Huadao: "Well, since that's what you think, then I have nothing to say. This guy is too far from my expectations, and there is no need for us to continue talking."

Allen didn't expect Li Hua to be so direct. How could negotiations be like this?

What he didn't know was that Li Hua had no intention of selling the game at all, and just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

"Let's add another five million, which is already the limit." Allen said.

Li Hua still shook his head and looked unmoved. Allen said angrily: "Then what is your psychological price?"

Li Hua thought for a while and gave a price, "One billion US dollars, cash, no shares or anything like that."

As soon as these words came out, Allen was immediately laughed out of anger. This guy really dared to speak.
