Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 840 The tree is big to attract the wind

   After staying at Uncle Sam's house for three days, Yang Chen and his party finally left. After several days of contact, both parties played a very important role in the cooperation between the two companies.

  In order to show his sincerity, Uncle Sam took the lead in announcing that Walmart first cooperated with Orange Technology to help Orange Technology home machines quickly occupy the US home phone market.

   With the joint efforts of Orange Technology and CAA, the Orange Technology home phone sold more than 500,000 units on the day it was launched, and the total sales in two days exceeded one million units.

   In just two days, it has more than doubled the total sales of previous home consoles in the United States, which shows that American players love several games such as Super Mario Bros.

   Seeing Orange Technology's success again, or Yang Chen's success again, Uncle Sam's last hesitation completely disappeared.

  The Walton family not only needs friends in the United States, but also needs more friends overseas, which is conducive to the development of its Wal-Mart company.

The emerging industry of gaming has now exploded with its power, and the biggest beneficiary of it is Yang Chen, the owner of Orange Technology. This young man will have limitless achievements in the future. This is the recognition of many American elites for him. .

   For such a person, Uncle Sam, who has experienced countless times, feels that it is necessary to establish a good personal and cooperative relationship with this young Chinese richest man and Asia's richest man.

  Walmart, as a company that traverses all states, large, medium and small cities and towns in the United States, with its help, Orange Technology can save a lot of energy on channels.

  Because of the blockade of Atari, it was difficult for Orange Technology to cooperate with large supermarkets like Walmart. Even if they cooperated, the other party did not strongly recommend Orange Technology’s home computers.

   Uncle Sam took the initiative to propose this time, so it can be expected that once such a retail giant exerts its strength, it will bring much convenience and sales to Orange Technology.

  Business has a coherent effect. Once Orange Technology cooperates with Walmart, other retail giants will inevitably follow suit.

  There are more choices, and the channel pressure will disappear.

   At the same time, the blockade of Atari and its old owner, Warner Films, was completely ineffective.

   Unlike Orange Technology Super Mario Bros. and Contra, which were very popular, Atari's previously popular ET alien game was completely shut down.

   Not only that, due to the huge gap in content and quality between the two games, many original Atari loyal fans were full of complaints about ET Alien.

  Without contrast, there is no harm.

  Every game released by Orange Technology is cheaper than Atari, but the quality of the game presented is far superior to the ET alien game made by Atari.

   For a while, many players began to call for rights protection, clamoring for Atari to lose money, applying for game returns, and a series of things done by American players in previous lives, all of which broke out.

   Unlike the previous American players who only felt deceived and were full of disappointment with Atari, this time the big guy was so angry that he couldn’t stop it.

   There was no Orange Technology in the previous life. Most players in the United States made a big noise about Atari’s fooling behavior, but they still didn’t know it in the end.

After all, there is no Orange Technology, there are no Super Mario Bros. and Contra games, and the big guys have no reference to compare. With a lot of junk games previously launched by American game companies, American players have become accustomed to it. So disappointed in Atari.

Now it is different. American players not only shouted loudly, but also acted positively. Under the leadership of some gamers who were extremely dissatisfied with Atari, various state courts in the United States received numerous lawsuits against Atari. litigation cases.

   For a time, Atari was in an unprecedented crisis. After experiencing the storm with the previous Atari, it gradually stepped down from the position of Big Brother, and finally was abandoned by Warner...

More or less, Atari gave Atari a chance to breathe, but this time Atari was far less lucky than in the previous life. Faced with the anger of the players, Atari was completely chaotic. Warner Bros. did its best to get away.

   This time, Atari is really standing on the cusp of the storm, but unfortunately, this is not the takeoff.

  If there is no accident, Atari will pay the due price for its actions next.

The capitalists all over the world have a virtue. In good times, it is natural to be good to you and me to be good to everyone. Everyone will rush to fawn over and surround them. When bad, everyone is like hiding from the plague. Contaminated with bad luck.

  When Atari was besieged by a group of players, no media or company dared to stand up and speak for it. A storm was brewing, and some of the people were out of breath.

After returning from the small town of Bentonville, Yang Chen went directly to Goldman Sachs Group. Due to the booming sales of orange technology home machines, the stock price has been soaring. Unlike the inland stock market in later generations, which has restrictions on the ups and downs, the U.S. stock market has no restrictions on ups and downs. .

   As long as American investors feel that this listed company has potential and value, then the stock price of this company can skyrocket without restriction.

  Atari was shouted and beaten by everyone, and Orange Technology was frequently touted by the American media. At this time, Yang Chen's face was not only not proud at all, but a little sad.

  The tree attracts the wind, everyone understands this truth.

   Especially now that he is in a foreign country and attracts the wind in a foreign country, this makes Yang Chen even more stressed.

  For God to perish, he must first make him mad.

  Although Yang Chen is very sober, sometimes it doesn't mean that you have no problem, then there is no problem.

   The experience of some traffic stars in later generations is the best proof.

   As the saying goes, the fans' fault, the idols pay the bill.

  Whether you like it or not, the two are linked to each other. If something goes wrong, you can't escape if you want to.

   The worse Atari is now, and the more popular Orange Technology is, the stronger the rebound will be.

  The rabbit is dead and the fox is sad. There are not a few American game companies linked to Atari. Orange Technology's home computers cannot be used for games from other American companies. Once Atari completely collapses, then these game companies will undoubtedly be the group that loses the most.

   Such a group that has been ignored by everyone will be a terrifying force once they join forces.

   Recognizing this, Yang Chen came to Goldman Sachs for the first time. The power of capital needs to be solved by capital.

   Orange Technology wants to gain a firm foothold in the United States. If it does not solve those unwilling American game companies, it will bring huge trouble to Orange Technology, which will replace Atari.
