Rebirth: From arcade game to business empire

Chapter 31 All Together!

"Rub, why is it so fun?".

Wang Junshan's face showed a shocked expression.

In another time and space, perhaps "The King of Fighters" is not the most popular fighting game, after all, there were many similar games such as "Street Fighter" and "Legend of the Hungry Wolf" before it.

But now it's different, and there are slightly decent competitors around the world, sorry, not at all.

One of the most classic versions of The King of Fighters is the King of Fighters 97.

And the system also directly gave the most classic King of Fighters 97 to Lin Mu, and as soon as it was launched, it was immediately a feeling of being alone. 、

In addition to the game content, there is also the advantage of hardware.

After having money, Lin Mu was very angry and replaced it with a newly developed 16-bit arcade motherboard. This is the only one in the world that has no other branches, this technology is unique in the world, and no one has a way to fight with Lin Mu.

The application of 16-bit arcade motherboards has made "The King of Fighters 1970" a further improvement compared to previous games, both in terms of graphics and background scrolls.

What does this mean?

It's not just "The King of Fighters" that is a game hit, but the beginning of a comprehensive replacement of arcade game motherboards.

Even if Paradise Island wants to catch up, it has become impossible, now, Lin Mu has accumulated a lot of talents in his hands, plus the technology given to him by the system, Lin Mu can completely stand alone in the world.

Originally, piracy on the island side had caused Lin Mu's profits to begin to decline, but after switching to a 16-bit arcade motherboard.

Everything is starting to look different again.

This 16-bit arcade motherboard is not so easy to imitate, and Lin Mu also spent a lot of effort to set up several production lines in Xiangjiang, just to make a lot of money by relying on market-leading technology.

Although Sega can't compete with Paradise Island on home game consoles, it has always had an advantage in arcades, and now it has taken the lead in developing a 16-bit arcade motherboard, which is basically no way to fight.

Even if Paradise Island wants to imitate it, it will take at least two to three years to get the technology in front of them.

But I'm sorry, for Lin Mu, he doesn't worry about this at all.

Once you've eaten up the 16-bit arcade motherboard, I'll have no problem getting you a new version.

As soon as the King of Fighters came out, there was a sense of seeking defeat alone.

Although the arcade machine was originally made by Lin Mu, in the shortest possible time, Lin Mu still made the most popular game.

Major game machine halls have begun to purchase the latest arcade machines on a large scale.

And this price has increased a lot.

All of a sudden, these game machine halls couldn't help but start scolding.

In the past half a year, he finally began to return to his roots, Lin Mu, a brute, actually came up with a new technology, what does he want to do, what else does he want to do?

But now that's the problem.

If there is no King of Fighters in your arcade, people won't come to play at all.

What can you do about this?

They had to keep buying new arcade machines.

Naturally, this time, Lin Mu made a lot of money again.

All the arcade machines were replaced with 16-bit arcade motherboards, and the prices didn't change much.

It's still the original 10,000,16-bit arcade motherboard,The quality of the picture,The smooth feeling of the game,It's not a grade of existence at all.。

Jiang Muyan almost didn't laugh crazy, not long ago, Lin Mu gave Jiang Muyan three percent of the shares of Hongmeng Games, and there are certain dividends every year.

In addition to Jiang Muyan, there is also Ma Qiao, and these people Lin Mu have all given a certain amount of shares.

In the future, whether it is listing or dividends, they will not get less money.

In addition, Lin Mu still took out 20% of the shares as an option pool, and all employees who worked hard could get dividends.

With these promises, even the programmers who were poached by Lin Mu from the island country were eager to work hard with all their horsepower.

In fact, Lin Mu is already preparing to make Hongmeng games go public.

This is a giant in the gaming industry.

It will also be more convenient for them to spread out their stalls around the world when they go public, but in a short period of time, Lin Mu does not plan to go public, and there will be a huge stock market crash in 1973.

The best thing to do is to wait until after 1973 and then go public yourself.

Once listed, his income is at least several times that of the original.

The most important thing to do now is to lay a solid foundation, at least in Southeast Asia, island countries, bays, and Xiangjiang local markets to stabilize, and then slowly enter Europe and the United States.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Throw money!

to develop more games.

Design more advanced hardware.

Lin Mu is not very worried about this, now the system has given himself the technology of the fourth generation of computers, coupled with the popularization of the C language, it must be able to train a large number of local programmers in Xiangjiang.

In addition to that, the system gives itself the technology.

It's not a big problem to hold on!

October 25th

Something happened during this time, and Bruce Lee finally chose to join Golden Harvest after hitting a wall at Shaw Brothers.

Then, "Big Brother Tangshan" began to enter the intense filming.

For five years, Bruce Lee has to do things in strict accordance with the company's requirements.

For example, brand endorsements, such as personal image, including using Bruce Lee's image to design a game image.

Hongmeng Auditorium, which was originally a factory, was acquired by Lin Mu as a production line for 16-bit arcade game motherboards, and at the same time, there are more than 40 game machine hall owners in the entire Xiangjiang River.

Behind these people are often club bosses.

They also had a lot of complaints about Lin Mu, the speed of this update was too fast, and they had to continue to buy arcade machines.

Soon, they found themselves in a big hole.

Lin Mu is completely pulling himself in, and he must continue to follow up, otherwise, he will be eliminated in this competition.

Now, whoever has a good machine and has more games will be able to attract a large number of students.

This, that is, represents sufficient competitiveness.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Lin Mu's face showed a faint smile, and he slowly said, "Welcome, everyone, come to our internal meeting of Hongmeng Game!"

The eyes of a group of people all fell on Lin Mu, and these people can be regarded as Lin Mu's uncles in terms of seniority.

However, now they are relatively polite to Lin Mu.

First of all, Lin Hong has an excellent relationship with Lei Luo, the real top big brother, and secondly, the current Lin Mu is in a good situation, and it is not something that this group of gangsters can provoke casually.
