America started as a game

The financial status of Qingshan Company is still in good condition until now. The most important thing is that the company does not owe any money.

Although the entire game market has cooled down now, with the sales and reputation of "Super Mario Bros.", if it is used as collateral, tens of millions can be borrowed from the bank.

So Li Hua doesn't worry about money at all now, he just needs to open up the situation as soon as possible.

"Boss, the development of "Bomberman" and "MapleStory" is nearing completion. It will probably take about a week before the final test can be carried out," Sandy said with a tired look.

During this period, it can be said that the entire Qingshan company is very busy.

Sandy didn't go back for a week. He really didn't want to just change jobs and then the company went bankrupt.

In addition, he is very satisfied with the current company, so he also hopes that the company can successfully overcome this difficulty.

Li Hua nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. After the test is completed, it will be put on the market directly."

"In addition, you also need to keep an eye on Super Mario Bros. If you have any new ideas, you can directly put them forward."

A game does not need to be taken care of when it is put on the market. You need to keep an eye on the existing situation at all times and then make modifications, revisions, etc.

However, because the version Li Hua produced is a very complete version, there have been no problems in this regard for the time being.

Sandy replied: "Okay, I will make all preparations."

As long as Tsingshan Company can survive this crisis, then in Sandy's opinion, Tsingshan Company will truly be based in the gaming industry and have great potential.

After admonishing Sandy, Li Hua asked Linden to come over and report the situation.

Because I was delayed by going to Xiangjiang, I didn't go to Fairchild Company for the time being. However, Li Hua also asked Lin Deng to use his previous network to inquire about it.

"There should be no problem. Fairchild's life is not very good now. The price we offer is not low, and there is no conflict of interest with them at all, so it is very likely that they will agree." Linden said.

This is mainly due to the fact that Fairchild is no longer involved in the game industry, and there is no conflict of interest between the two parties, so there is a basis for cooperation.

Of course, one reason is that the price offered by Li Hua is high enough. If the price is too low, Fairchild Company will not be willing to accept the order.

"In addition, I have communicated with some of my former colleagues these days, and I have new ideas about the game console we develop."

"The main reason is that I didn't include Fairchild in the past, but this way, the cost will increase, but the presentation effect will be better." Linden continued.

During this time, Li Hua increased their budget, so Linden naturally had more ideas in this regard.

Li Hua pondered for a moment. Now it is impossible to blindly pursue better technology. Cost is the biggest problem.

If the cost is too high, it will be useless no matter how good the product is, and it cannot be promoted on a large scale.

Li Hua asked: "How much does a game console cost approximately?"

Linden said directly: "It's almost two hundred US dollars. If you add the manufacturing and labor costs, it is estimated to reach two hundred and twenty or thirty US dollars."

The current price of a home game console is US$299, and a newly launched home game console must be at a similar price, otherwise consumers will not accept it.

Li Hua was relieved when he heard this. Fortunately, it was not too outrageous. Although the cost was much higher than that of models like the Atari 2600, it was fine as long as there was still profit.

In addition, costs can be reduced. With the expansion of production scale, raw materials and various costs will be reduced accordingly.

In addition, with technological innovation, many costs will be reduced.

Therefore, this price is still acceptable to Li Hua. Even if the final profit will be much lower, as long as he does not lose money, he can make it back through the game.

"Okay, just follow your idea, but one thing I need to remind you is that the cost cannot be higher. If it goes higher, the game console may not be able to be launched." Li Hua said with a hint of warning, lest this cost happen.

The guy added new costs to him.

When Lin Deng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed. He thought that such a cost would be unacceptable to Li Hua. He just gave it a try. If he couldn't accept it, he would need to change back to the original plan.

"No problem, I will definitely not make the cost any higher." Linden said happily.

……………

Time passed quickly in the busy schedule. In the blink of an eye, the two new games were ready and the final test passed.

The entire planning department was paralyzed that day, mainly because they were all so exhausted that they basically lay down and fell asleep.

During this period of time, it can be said that they did not go home if they could, and worked as long as they could.

Of course, the overtime pay offered by Li Hua is enough for them to work diligently.

"After they have rested, tell them that one week after the game is officially released for sale, there will be no major problems, and your entire planning department will have a bonus of half a million dollars," Li Hua said.

Sandy really didn't expect that at this stage of the company, Li Hua would actually give them bonuses.

Sandy was really touched for a moment. Who wouldn't want to follow such a boss?

"Thank you boss, but now the company..." Sandy hesitated to speak.

Li Hua smiled and said: "No matter how good the company is, it will not lack your bonuses. If the game sales are good, your bonuses will not be less."

Sandy quickly said: "The main reason is that the plan you gave me, boss, is good. We are just doing some basic work."

What he said was true. At most, they paid more for some data, and for the rest, the planning plan given by the boss was better.

Li Hua patted him on the shoulder and did not continue. Anyway, he would definitely not give less than he should give, especially at this stage.

After leaving the planning department, Li Hua asked Hoya to come to his office to discuss the next sales plan.

After this period of hard work, the new sales channel is almost completed. Although the company's expenses have suddenly increased a lot, at least it will not be in the dilemma of having products on the market but no place to sell them.

The self-built sales channels requested by Li Hua were also launched in New York at this time.

The main reason is that the funds are sufficient, and now is the time to compete for time. Even if Hoya wants to save some money for Li Hua, he knows that this is not the time.

So we quickly rented 30 stores, and most of them still used the original decoration and opened them first, and we could save as much as possible.
