Rebirth: From arcade game to business empire

Later, someone specifically analyzed Apu.

How to put it, this person has a strong performative personality, which is mainly manifested in dramatic behavior, that is, his experience is always extraordinary, and his behavior reflects the outward emotion, actively attracts the attention of others, willfully and discontentedly seeks approval and stimulation, and the mood is fickle, sometimes excited, sometimes angry, and he loses his temper over a small thing.

Comrade Apu, what he likes most is to use flamboyant rhetoric, shake the pot, interrupt other people's speeches, and highlight his own importance on every occasion and brag to himself.

Both before and after he became the Grand Commander.

This time, as soon as he heard that he was about to become a guest commentator, Apu immediately began to be moved, and almost instantly, countless words were already prepared in his heart.

Just wait for yourself to explain on stage so that the world can notice you.

In this way, your business can grow bigger and bigger.

Fame is a great help to your business.

It doesn't matter if the reputation is good or bad.

For Apu, it doesn't matter.

However, the official also made a request to Apu, at least before the start of the game, Apu is not allowed to reveal any news, and Apu also said that it is completely OK.

December 22, 1971.

For the second time, the K Tournament was officially held in North America, and the venue of the game was in a stadium in North America.

For a whole year, in fact, the technology of the arcade machine has been improved a lot, and in order to avoid the phenomenon of lag as much as possible during the live broadcast.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was time for the game to come.

The island nation, Kyoto

At this moment, Sony's founder, President Akio Morita is also watching TV intently.

Although he is imitating Lin Mu's arcade machine, but, deep in his heart, Akio Morita also has to admit that Lin Mu is indeed a genius who can design an arcade machine.

It is also possible to hold such a global series of competitions.

When he was in the island country last time, Akio Morita had a hunch that the arcade was bound to become popular all over the world.

Subsequently, Sony began the road of imitation.

In fact, imitation, this is not a problem for Sony, in the 50s of the 20th century, Sony began to imitate, radio, and then, there was a development of portable semiconductor radios that can be put in the pocket, the product sold as many as 1.5 million units after its launch, most of which were sold to the United States market.

From imitation to technological upgrading, it becomes something of its own.

This has always been the route that Sony is taking.

Thirteen years ago, Sony began to develop televisions, but although black and white TVs were a big hit, their technical competitiveness was not at all, and the quality control of color TV products produced afterwards was not satisfactory, resulting in huge losses and pushing the company to the brink of bankruptcy.

In 1967, Sony announced the Trilon Tube technology, which was developed by Dai Ibuka, which made Sony TVs sell well all over the world, and Akio Morita was able to pay off the huge development debt he borrowed from the Island Development Bank within three years.

Sony's stock is also soaring on the Kyoto Stock Exchange.

However, for the current technology is not very mature, Akio Morita does not want to enter the rice market so quickly, at least until his own technology is more mature, and then launch.

The board of directors can not be afraid of Sony's brand image, but Akio Morita must take this into account.

However, although Akio Morita had a good idea, the board of directors was a little impatient, because the market in the United States was too big, and after their judgment, this was completely a profitable deal.

The profits brought in every year are astronomical.

It is undeniable that Akio Morita was tempted.

This huge profit is something that anyone should be excited about.

Sony has to compete, and the sooner the better.

For Lin Mu, Akio Morita still admires it, but this is also a competitor, a competitor that he must defeat.

The TV is on

The moment he saw Apu, Akio Morita was stunned, and at this moment, he didn't even know why Apu appeared on the guest stage.

An ominous premonition instantly enveloped Akio Morita's heart.

And Apu's performative personality is also completely exposed at this moment.

Then, I heard Apu say triumphantly: "Ladies and gentlemen, we meet again, I am Apu!"

The commentator on the side said politely: "Welcome Apu, Apu, did you ever think that you would meet the audience from all over the world here!"

"Of course!" said Apu triumphantly playing his favorite accordion, "Actually, I was surprised, but I'm pretty sure that someone would really dislike me being here!"

There was no need for deliberate guidance, Comrade Apu took the initiative to pull the topic in this direction: "Do you know? This time, our arcade machines are all Sony's, not Xiangjiang's, the island country and our country have been good friends for more than ten years, and the relationship between the United States and the island country is seamless, so we should use their technology, not Xiangjiang's!"

Airplanes!

Akio Morita suddenly felt as if his brain had been hit hard, and he was dumbfounded.

Can Sony's arcade run The King of Fighters?

Isn't that a joke?

Akio Morita swallowed his saliva fiercely, and in an instant, he thought of Lin Mu's coping strategy, didn't you secretly copy my arcade machine?

I'll let you make a foreign appearance in front of the whole world.

Shame on you and throw it all over the world!

Akio Morita grabbed the phone on the table almost frantically, quickly dialed a phone number, and yelled in an almost roaring voice: "Let Apu, shut up, shut up, shut up immediately!"

However, it was too late!

The signal from the United States to the island country is delayed, in other words, when Akio Morita saw that Apu was bragging, advocating the friendship between the United States and the island country, the disaster had already happened.

The race is on!

However, just as the game was running, the graphics froze.

At this moment, the camera is focused on the screen.

Colorful pictures, but the game stopped.

For a moment, Apu was stunned, and the smile on his face froze, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

Similarly, it was not only Apu who was stunned, but also the hundreds of millions of viewers around the world who did not know that they were watching the game.

This time the World Finals can be called a disastrous performance.
