America started as a game

Judy received notification the next day that she had passed the interview.

"Two months of trial period, weekly salary of one thousand dollars." Samantha said.

Judy nodded, these have been said before.

"Now let me take you to understand the company's situation and get to know some people. These are things you will often face in the future." Samantha is actually very busy, but she is the boss's secretary after all, so she still needs to lead her personally.

of.

The current personnel management of Qingshan Company is relatively chaotic, after all, it is expanding too fast.

Especially in recent times, the company has been recruiting people every day, such as the planning department and the R&D department, which all need to add manpower.

In addition, there are the sales department and the customer service department, especially the customer service department, which is a headache for her.

Quina comes here every day to ask for people, but she can't find too many people for Quina. After all, Quina is the customer service department, not the sales department. Expanding the staff too much is not a good thing.

Especially the boss Li Hua did not fully agree to the major expansion of the customer service department.

This requires her to balance. It is impossible for Li Hua to come forward in person to dampen the enthusiasm of the customer service department.

Moreover, their Qingshan Company not only has people coming in every day, but most importantly, people leaving every day.

Representatives of this are the planning department and the R&D department.

Because Li Hua has very high requirements for the personnel level of these two departments, even if they pass the interview, as long as they fail to pass the internship period, they will be eliminated directly.

………………

Soon Judy spent two days here to find out the general situation of the company, and she was very satisfied at the same time.

She saw a fighting spirit in this company, where everyone was working hard and everyone was highly motivated.

In fact, this surprised Judy. Although Qingshan Company is a start-up company, she has not seen start-up companies before. It has developed to this point and is completely a medium-sized company. It is very rare to have such a strong enthusiasm.

not enough.

Judy also asked about the situation a little bit, and the simple answer she got surprised her.

"Money, the boss gives you a lot of money, why don't we work hard? At least we need to be worthy of the salary given by the boss."

"And it's hard to find a job now, especially with such a generous boss."

Hearing this natural answer, Judy was also very surprised.

………………

"I'll give you two tasks." Li Hua said to Judy.

Judy looked startled and immediately said: "Say."

"The first thing is to collect copyright information about the movie "Alien". I need detailed information." Li Hua said.

This is preparation for "Contra".

"Contra" was actually installed on arcade machines at the beginning.

But Li Hua is not planning to let it debut in arcades this time.

The main reason is that he needs to advertise his home game console and use high-quality games to increase sales.

This is something he has already considered.

After all, at this stage, the most important thing for Qingshan Company is the development of the game console market.

You must build a game platform that is completely your own, so that you will not be controlled by others.

At this stage, due to the lawsuit between Atari and Activision, there are no problems with the platform.

But if this problem is not solved, and Nintendo’s red and white consoles enter the U.S. market and become mainstream, they will be able to take advantage of them.

Even most of the profits from the game will be taken away by Nintendo, which is definitely not what Li Hua wants to see.

In addition, the market profits of home computers are also very high. Back then, Atari relied on the sales of the Atari 2600 to achieve sales of US$2 billion every year.

This is a very exaggerated number.

As for the arcade machine, there is no need to worry for the time being, and it can be directly grafted onto it when the time comes, even saving a lot of publicity.

"Contra" is adapted from the movie "Alien". In terms of copyright, Li Hua naturally does not want to leave any clues, otherwise it will be difficult to handle if there is a quarrel.

Judy immediately wrote down that this was his first task and should not be taken lightly.

"The second thing is to inquire about a Japanese game developer called Namco. They have a game called "Tank Camp" and make a report on its specific situation and give it to me." Li Hua continued.

said.

This is the second game Li Hua chose for his new home game console, "Tank Battle"!

"Tank Battle" already had its prototype in 1980, and it was Namco Game Company's "Tank Battalion".

However, at this time, "Tank Battalion" was just a very ordinary game, with only the most basic settings of "Tank Battle".

The sales volume is not very good, so Li Hua naturally needs to buy the copyright.

I believe that like Mario’s copyright, there will not be much obstruction.

Speaking of Mario's copyright, Nintendo is already regretting it.

It’s not that they regret selling Mario’s copyright, after all, they have never valued Mario’s image.

But I feel like they made a loss.

Judging from the game development speed of Aoyama Company, Nintendo believes that they have almost done it already, and they only chose the image of Mario in the end.

If they had known that "Super Mario Bros." could sell so well, why would they want to open their mouths?

Comparing the sales of the game, they are no longer selling at a loss, they are giving it away completely.

So when the North American branch reported the sales of Mario games back, Nintendo almost vomited blood in distress.

I even scolded Nintendo's North American branch for this, but it didn't help.

After receiving the task, Zhu Di got busy immediately, while Li Hua also started to prepare to negotiate with some banks about loan matters.

Now that you have chosen to prepare in advance, some things need to be put on the agenda.

For example, when it comes to buying the copyright to "Alien", if Li Hua had gone to buy it himself, after understanding the situation of Qingshan Company, it would be hard to say that there wouldn't be a big deal and deliberately ask for a high price.

In Li Hua's view, this copyright must be obtained, so he needs to be prepared.

Cooperating with a big bank is a very good choice. If they come forward and mediate, things will be much easier to handle.

If they want to cooperate with Li Hua and make money from Li Hua without much risk, they naturally need to pay something.

Li Hua had already expressed some ideas on this point during the negotiation.

In addition, these big banks also think that this is just the first step of cooperation, and they will definitely find ways to deepen cooperation in the future, especially if the development of Qingshan Company gets better and better.
