Rebirth: From arcade game to business empire

Hiroshi Yamauchi now really has the idea of a day dog.

He really couldn't imagine why Lin Mu, a bastard, could always be the first to get ahead, and why could he always release a brand new product before himself?

Why, he can just take out what he wants when his ideas just pop up.

"Yaga, Yaga!"

This is the truest thought in Hiroshi Yamauchi's heart.

Nowadays, the arcade market has begun to saturate, and there are too many games on the market, not only a problem, but the market for this family game is still completely undeveloped.

However, Lin Mu has already begun to think about the family market.

Moreover, the cassette of this game console, Lin Mu can also continue to develop, develop more games, and the profits will be greater.

Hiroshi Yamauchi took a deep breath, then raised his palm: "I have a question!" “

Lin Mu's gaze also fell on Yamauchi Hiroshi, and then smiled: "Mr. Yamauchi, what's the problem?" “

Hiroshi Yamauchi said slowly: "Mr. Lin, at present, how many games are there on this game console?" "

"You ask this?"

Lin Mu smiled, and then said slowly: "At present, there are more than 60 games in total, Super Mario is just one of them, in addition, there is the most classic "The King of Fighters 1970", which can also be played through this game machine card, and some arcade games can be played through our red and white machines!" "

"In addition, there is Contra, this is a new gunfight game, here, I won't show it specifically, I will provide you with some game cartridges, of course, we will develop more games in the future, I hope you can have a good experience, later, we will provide you with some game cartridges!"

Hiroshi Yamauchi took a hard breath, and once again couldn't help but ask, "So, what is the retail price of this game console?" "

"Our retail price is good, 998!" Lin Mu smiled and said slowly: "If it is converted into yen, it should be about 14,000 yuan!" "

Hiroshi Yamauchi took a hard breath.

This price is not so expensive, unlike at the beginning, Lin Mu dared to open his mouth for 10,000 yuan when he sold an arcade machine.

It's not a matter of being expensive, it's just that you want to kill people.

This is also a difference in strategy, on the one hand, it is not bad to open a game machine hall, and it is not bad for money, and the speed of return is extremely fast, Lin Mu sells arcade machines, not games.

However, for families.

What Lin Mu needs most is that the red and white machine can quickly enter the family, and then, it is convenient to sell games by himself, which is a completely different strategy problem.

"Of course, we will also have a dealer price!" Lin Mu smiled, and then slowly spoke; "After all, the retail price and the wholesale price are two different things, the previous cooperation with Paradise Island was very pleasant, this involves trade secrets, if you want to cooperate, we can talk about it in private!"

Hiroshi Yamauchi took a deep breath, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

However, the fate behind the red and white machine is also quite miserable.

When the red and white machine came to the hands of Wanwan manufacturers, they cracked the "secret" of the cassette and the console, and copied a large number of game hardware and software.

Among them, there are many watchers who directly registered a trademark called Little Genius, and even let this name appear on the English version of Wikipedia.

The other is the "Shengtian" game console, which is very similar to FC in appearance. Due to the relationship between the United States, the island nation, and the polar bear, Paradise Island's DC did not obtain the import authorization of the former polar bear, and the compatible machine "Dendy" produced by Wanwan took advantage of the situation to enter the polar bear market.

The worst thing is the larger market of Huaxia.

Paradise Island's FC host since the end of the 80s introduced into China, the price of more than 1,000 yuan, some domestic and Hong Kong and Taiwan companies to seize the business opportunity, the production of cheap FC compatible machine, without the permission of Paradise Island, so as to replace Paradise Island to occupy the market, with the production of pirated FC cartridge manufacturers. Paradise Island Games, on the other hand, did not receive a penny.

At the end of the 80s of the 20th century, in the early 90s, a series of learning machine products launched by Huaxia Xiaobawang Company were all products of infringement of intellectual property rights, and the imitation object was the FC game console sold by the island country Nintendo.

In the future, the piracy crisis that Paradise Island will face is also very likely to be born in itself.

However, for Lin Mu, the problem is not big.

It's a big deal to go to China to open a factory, it's a big deal to sell it yourself, it's nothing more than to keep the price down, even if the red and white machine is not good, you can still make a PS1.

Game companies mainly sell games.

As long as the copyright of these game images and content is on you, then you don't need to worry.

The red and white machine will eventually be eliminated.

However, these classic characters can be preserved, and if they want to build Hongmeng Park in the future, they can directly compete with Disneyland by relying on these copyrights.

"Mr. Yamauchi, what other questions do you have?" Lin Mu looked at Yamauchi and said with a smile.

Yamauchi was slightly stunned, then shook his head, and said slowly: "No, there is no problem!" "

Lin Mu smiled and continued to speak: "After all, I started as a game, and I hope to entertain the public!" "

Hiroshi Yamauchi carefully played with the red and white machine in his hand, only to feel as if the flesh of his heart had been stabbed, and he was extremely uncomfortable.

He felt as if he was going to be shrouded in the shadow of Lin Mu for the rest of his life.

Since he began to prepare for the game industry, Lin Mu has come to the door with an arcade machine, and then it is the treasure in the palm of his hand, and now, it has begun to become a red and white machine, a family game machine.

"Yaga, Yaga, Yaga!"

Hiroshi Yamauchi was roaring in his heart, but he was helpless in this situation, who made his product really inferior to others.

However, for Lin Mu, he didn't mind snatching the game of Paradise Island at all.

Next, I still have more products to show.

waved slightly, and saw a waiter pushing an electric car in front of everyone.

Battery car!

Some of the bigwigs of car companies couldn't help but sit up straight.
