Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 824 The purpose of poaching

   In the future, whether it is a computer, the Internet, or a smartphone, a group of game technical talents like Jobs will play a huge role in the future.

Although Atari is only in its prime, it is undeniable that, as the largest game company in the United States and the most prestigious game company, the technical talents it has inside are definitely the best in this era, even if not the best. Talents.

   As long as he is a first-class talent, it is worth his efforts to poach.

   Don't think that the games on Atari home consoles are mostly shoddy, and that its internal technical staff are also rubbish.

   On the contrary, the reason why Atari was able to monopolize the US home computer market was all the result of the early efforts of those internal technical employees.

  The reason why Atari is facing the collapse is actually not related to the technical staff at all. It is mainly the strategic measures of Atari's top management, and there are mistakes.

  In pursuit of short-term interests, when Atari executives chose the route of overwhelming quality over quantity, it was already doomed to such a day.

   One or two game failures cannot make players lose hope in this game company.

  Atari's failure is all because it has repeatedly ignored consumer rights and interests. In pursuit of profits, it has implanted a large number of shoddy games into its home computer.

   Players' resistance and anger towards the ET alien game is not because everyone can't forgive the failure of Atari game production, but the various problems accumulated for a long time in the past were released all at once through the ET alien game.

   is the so-called, the deep responsibility of love.

   is the truth.

   This time, if Yang Chen's side is well manipulated, the American game market may not be hit too hard, but those American companies that only know how to make a lot of junk games, the results are already doomed before they even start.

   It is like ten years later, when the Internet in the United States was brutally baptized by the market for the first time. The market value of Internet companies that were in a mess suddenly plummeted overnight, and then countless worthless Internet companies were washed away by the torrent.

   This is a reshuffle of the game industry and an opportunity to divide up technical talents.

   Next, he plans to enter the computer and mobile phone industry, both of which require a large number of professional and technical personnel to support him.

   "Lao Yu, may I tell you, in addition to the game industry, your boss and I are also very optimistic about the prospects of the computer and mobile phone industries."

"As the largest game company in the United States, Atari's internal technical staff are exactly the talents I need most. Although Xiangjiang is developing well now, there is one thing we can't compare with the Americans, that is, our various majors There are too few people, which is very detrimental to our future development in some areas."

   "So, this time I came to the United States, in addition to helping the company open up the home phone market, the most important thing is to gather special talents and professional and technical talents..."

   It’s true that games make money, but Yang Chen knows very well in his heart that he may still be able to use some of the small games in his memory to make Orange Technology rise strongly in a short period of time.

   But let him be like Nintendo, to rule the entire game market for more than ten years, not to lose the chain, not to be afraid of others' jokes, he thinks he does not have that ability.

  The reason why Nintendo was able to dominate the entire game market for more than ten years in its previous life was that it was not until the rise of American Internet companies and the emergence of online games that this industry monopoly was slowly broken.

   In addition to Nintendo's own conditions and strength, the other is that Nintendo has the support of the entire island country behind it.

   In addition to the continuous supply of talents, there is also the exchange of interests between the island country government and the US government.

  Islanders want to export their own culture, games and animations into the US market. This does not mean that if you have fun games and good animations, you will be able to occupy the US market.

  The inland government in later generations did not want to see the proliferation of island country games in the country, and a paper order blocked the island country's game companies from outside.

  In the previous life, Nintendo had its own country as the backing and the support of the country, so that it could unscrupulously implement the royalty system and squeeze the underlying game development companies.

   And he, although the geopolitical environment of Xiangjiang is special, in the more than ten years before the handover, although both China and the United Kingdom will become the strongest backing of Xiangjiang, they will also destroy each other, and the strength cannot be used in one place.

   In this case, the positive side of Xiangjiang Capital’s outward development also has a negative side.

   Let’s talk about the positive side first. The good thing is that as a free capital market in Heungkong, everyone will not have much resistance to the capital from Heungkong.

The downside of    is that once there is a big conflict of interests, especially in the face of a superpower like the United States, once the backer behind him is not strong, his interests will be instantly damaged.

  The arm can't twist the thigh, that's the truth.

   No matter how strong a person is, it cannot be stronger than the overall strength of a country.

  『Small countries like those in Africa are not counted as weak countries. 』

   As for computers and smartphones, these two industries are very different from games, that is, these two industries cannot be monopolized by anyone who wants to monopolize them.

   Later generations are as strong as Apple, Samsung, Sony, Huawei and other companies. No matter how powerful they are, they cannot monopolize two industries. At most, they can become one strong, and relatively speaking, this strong cannot maintain this advantage forever.

   However, the fact that mobile phone brands cannot be monopolized does not mean that mobile phone operating systems cannot be monopolized.

  There are only two mobile phone systems in the world in later generations, one is Google's Android mobile phone system, and the other is Apple's iOS system.

  The two mobile phone systems monopolize 75% and 22% of the global mobile phone system market share respectively, and 99% of the market is occupied by the two.

   And the consequences are obvious.

  When the two major U.S. mobile phone systems monopolized the global market, in the era of smartphones and big data, any foreign company that dared to challenge the two major systems would be severely sanctioned by the U.S. government.

  Huawei is a good example, but at that time the country had already risen and was not afraid of sanctions from the United States.

   In this period, the Internet in the United States has just emerged, the mobile communication has just been born, and the smartphone operating system has not been studied yet.

  If you want to be invincible in the field of computers and mobile phones in the future, you must master the operating system as a bargaining chip.
