Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

After the RCA company representative walked off the stage, Junpei Yokoi walked up. At this time, Bao Zixuan was not interested in continuing the chat with Konosuke Matsushita. This is the product that the Heiyun exhibition wants to make money. As for laptops, it is more of a concept. It is estimated that it will be difficult to mass-produce. I just want to give everyone an amazing feeling, and to strategically lay out the Heiyun ecology.

Yokoi's English proficiency was very average, so he had to bring a translator to cooperate with him. He had been preparing for a long time today. Being able to release a new product on behalf of the company was a matter of great honor, so he couldn't help but ignore it.

When the Heiyun staff walked up to Junpei Yokoi with a tray, he lifted the red cloth on the tray and revealed the new product to be released this time.

The audience saw an object only the size of a palm being held by Junpei Yokoi. Indeed, this object was too small. It's as small as an adult's hand.

Junpei Yokoi showed the front of the small thing to the audience and said: "This is the first game console launched by our Black Cloud Game Company. We named it Gameboy handheld game console. It is 18 cm long and 10 cm wide. , thickness 1.8 cm. Weight only 250 grams.”

"Any child can easily take it into his hands and play. The performance of this game console can meet the needs of most consumers. Gameboy has a four-color black and white screen, a four-bit CPU, and the capacity of the game cartridge does not exceed 1. This is our patented cross-key technology. It is very convenient for adjusting up, down, left, and right. On arcade machines, the direction adjustment lever may be more suitable for players. However, once the game console becomes smaller, the joystick will be reduced in size accordingly, which is not conducive to players' use. , but the cross keys are completely operated with fingers, which can solve this problem very well. "

"The gameboy handheld game console currently has two game cartridges, and there is a card reader slot under the screen. You can switch to different games. At present, we have only converted two games, namely Xiangjiang Cube and Snake. If the game developer If you want to re-develop games that have been removed from arcades, the Gameboy handheld game console is a great choice."

"Our gameboy handheld game console is powered by three AA batteries, which can last more than 8 hours of gaming. It uses a very power-saving LCD screen and is equipped with black cloud battery adjustment technology. Players can play with confidence, basically Don’t worry about battery power.”

"Next, I will show you how to play this game console, and I will also invite 10 journalist friends to experience it together. Among the journalists below, who would like to experience the Gameboy handheld game console."

After Junpei Yokoi spoke, many reporters raised their hands enthusiastically. This was an excellent opportunity to grasp first-hand information. They don't want to miss it, and the articles written after experiencing this new game console are even more convincing.

Yokoi Junpei invited 10 reporters to the center of the stage, basically from every country, and they are all relatively influential media in their country.

The staff assigned game consoles of different colors to reporters according to men and women, and this issue was considered during the design. This game console should be synonymous with fashion and gaming.

Five colors are designed. The female game console is designed in pink and red, and the buttons are also very feminine. Also available in black, yellow and a clear plastic colour. This game console made of transparent plastic allows all components inside to be seen, allowing consumers to see the internal structure of the game console, allowing them to use it with confidence and boldness, and it has a strong sense of technology.

After seeing that everyone was ready, Yokoi Junpei said: "Let's press the power button first. After the game console is turned on, you will see that Xiangjiang Cube is already on the interface. Currently, the Xiangjiang Cube game card is installed. Operation and arcade version There’s no difference, except that the direction stick has been replaced by a D-pad.”

"Now you can play the game after pressing the confirm button. Dear journalists, you can try it. The operation is very simple and the interface is very smooth."

Some reporters couldn't help themselves and started playing games on the stage, and they were very immersed in the game. At this moment, they seemed to be teenagers in a dream, stomping their feet, twisting their necks and playing games on the stage regardless of their image.

Anyone who plays games knows that when you first start playing a game, you will change the direction of your head according to the direction in the game. These reporters, who are experienced in journalism but are absolutely new to the gaming industry, are very funny on stage. But no one will laugh at them at this time, but many people will envy them.

They are the first batch of customers to experience this game console. After all, Heiyun Group is full of R\u0026D personnel. After about 3 minutes, Junpei Yokoi stopped the game experience.

Said: "You all have your own opinions and opinions on how our Gameboy handheld game console feels. Your time on stage is limited. Journalists can go back and experience it slowly. Thank you for testing this game for Heiyun. In order to express my gratitude for the performance of the game console, I will give you the game console as a souvenir. I hope you like it."

All the reporters on stage were very happy to hear this. After all, this is a new product that has not yet been launched. It is a great honor for them to have it for the first time.

Other viewers in the audience had another idea. Many exhibitors thought Heiyun's move was too beautiful. A small favor can satisfy the reporters and at the same time allow them to help promote the gameboy handheld game console. It seems that we will also let reporters experience our new products in the future. This method is simple, direct and saves money.

After the reporters left the stage, Yokoi Junpei said to everyone: "The Gameboy handheld game console has a unified global price of 3 and comes with 2 boxes of game cartridges."

The supply price of Heiyun Game Company to dealers is 25 US dollars and two boxes of game cartridges are given away. It can be said that the profits of dealers are still very considerable. And this time, in order to vigorously promote the gameboy handheld game console, synchronized advertisements will be shown on major TV stations.

Junpei Yokoi finally said: "Thank you for your support. This game will be released simultaneously today. You can go to the Black Cloud Exhibition Hall to negotiate the contract now. We now have global supply and acquisition capabilities." After bowing, he walked away.

After hearing that the contract could be negotiated, all the buyers walked towards the Heiyun exhibition hall. As for who will introduce the product next, who cares now!

After seeing that all the buyers had left, the Panasonic representative was very depressed and wondered whether he should speak up or not! Is there any point in introducing new products to just three or two kittens?

But as a big company, you should have the magnanimity of a big company. On the stage, the Panasonic representative introduced his Walkman seriously. Not to mention that the performance and styling are not bad, but the market still has a certain competitiveness.

Seeing that the buyers all went to the Heiyun Exhibition Hall, Matsushita Konosuke said: "Boy, you did it on purpose! But I disappoint you. I am still very confident in the Panasonic Walkman. Also, no one is watching. For Panasonic The impact is not very big, Panasonic has sales outlets all over the world. The Panasonic Walkman was delivered to the sales outlets a week ago but it is not on the market."

Bao Zixuan: "This Walkman performs really well in all aspects. It would have been even better if it had been launched a year earlier."

Hearing this, Matsushita Konosuke almost fainted from anger, and it was launched a year ahead of schedule. If we had thought of the idea of ​​the Walkman and what happened to you Heiyun, we would have gotten an advantage and acted like a good boy!

However, as a tycoon of the level of Konosuke Matsushita, he reacted quickly and said: "It's not too late to go on the market now, just wait for the Black Cloud Walkman to be put in the warehouse as inventory!"
