Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

8:30 a.m., Los Angeles Convention Center, USA.

All exhibition staff began to enter the venue in an orderly manner, and they had to enter the venue half an hour in advance to prepare for the buyers. The male employees of Heiyun Group are still wearing fashionable suits as always, always leading the trend of the times; they can be said to be a sight at the exhibition. However, compared to male employees, although the female employees of Heiyun Group wear okay clothes, their appearance is really a bit unappealing.

Still adhering to Heiyun's corporate tradition, none of Heiyun's female employees are good-looking. As Heiyun became more and more famous, many beauties went for interviews, but they were all rejected. There are also many capable and beautiful women who come for interviews, but these people can't even pass the first level. This is also a kind of exclusion among female employees of Heiyun, and it has even become corporate culture.

There is no place for beauties to survive here, but it does improve men's work efficiency a lot, and it also makes their wives or women very supportive of the Black Cloud tradition.

Open outside. As soon as you enter the door, you can see the Heiyun Group exhibition hall, which is indeed a bit irritating to colleagues, and this is too unreasonable. Comparing it with the Heiyun Exhibition Hall is simply a comparison between a palace and a thatched house, which makes these companies that have been developing for about a hundred years very unhappy.

But for buyers, they must go in and see what products Heiyun Group has developed this year. They are looking forward to it very much. If there is something suitable, they should place an order as soon as possible. The earlier they get the goods, the earlier they can make money.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, all the lights in the Heiyun Group exhibition hall were dimmed, and the brightest place was the stage at the back. Everyone knows that Heiyun Group is going to announce a new product. After all, the Heiyun Exhibition Guide Manual has detailed introductions.

Yokoi Junpei and Miyamoto Hat came to the center of the stage. The table above the stage was covered with a red cloth. Inside should be the new products to be released this time, and many reporters have already set up cameras and started taking pictures. At the same time, ABC TV station also broadcast live to the United States.

Yokoi Junpei picked up the microphone and said: "Thank you all journalists and buyer friends for coming. I am Yokoi Junpei, general manager and director of the hardware development department of Black Cloud Games."

Miyamoto Hat: "I am Miyamoto Hat, the deputy general manager and director of the game development department of Black Cloud Games."

Yokoi Junpei: "After about a year and a half of development by our Black Cloud Game engineers, the game console is finally available to everyone today. We named this family game console FC Famicom."

After saying that, he picked up the red cloth on the table. Everyone can clearly see a red and white game console on the table. At the same time, the photographer gave a close-up of the game console. All the children on the TV can be seen.

Yokoi Junhei: "The performance of this game console is very advanced, CPU: RicohU, main frequency: 1.8MHz

Screen: The total number of colors is 52, and the same screen can display up to 13 of them.

Sound source: mono, 2 rectangular waves, 1 triangle wave, 1 noise, 1 PCM synthetic sound source"

"Family machine - Function of FC. FC uses an 8-bit central processor made by Heiyun chip. The memory and video memory are 2KB. It has a display controller (PPU) and the screen can display 2 layers of scrolls and 5 pages. Two of the background pages each occupy 1KB of video memory. Due to video memory limitations, only one process of sound generator (PSG) can be displayed at most. It can provide 4 analog channels and 1 PCM digital channel. The PCM digital channel performs continuously. background sound."

"After introducing the product performance, we are now going to try it out. This game console has a lot of games to choose from, including Cube, Pac-Man, Snake, Senna Legend, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders and other games."

"Miyamoto-kun is an expert in this area. It's better to leave it to him to choose what game the two of us will play."

Miyamoto Hat: "Then let's play our classic game Donkey Kong. After all, this is the first game I opened."

After saying that, the two of them picked up the Donkey Kong game cartridge and inserted it into the card slot of the FC red and white machine. The Donkey Kong game screen immediately appeared on the TV screen behind.

The two started playing on the spot and saw their smooth cooperation. As well as the clear picture and texture, everyone at the scene was shocked.

While the two were showing the game console to the world on stage, two Japanese men were communicating in a low voice not far away from them.

A man said: "Yamauchi-kun, how does our game console compare with the FC red and white console Heiyun."

The man named Yamauchi Jun said: "I have to admit that our game console has not yet been launched and has fallen behind. Now we and Heiyun Games are at least one level behind in the field of home game consoles."

"I really shouldn't have let these two traitors go. Even if they died, I should have let them die at Nintendo."

These two men are Akio Morita from Sony and Hiroshi Yamauchi from Nintendo, and they are both carefully observing the Black Cloud FC red and white consoles.

Akio Morita: "Yamauchi-kun, it won't help to say this now. Let's think about how we can improve our products! And our game consoles still don't want to be launched on a large scale. We want games without games; we want performance without performance; now we just Can be promoted as an over-the-top product.”

Bao Zixuan didn't know what these two old guys were talking about, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care; he was carefully watching what was going on on the stage.

Yokoi Junpei: "As you have seen in game consoles, the price of our game console is a game cartridge, and you can choose any game cartridge. If you sell the game cartridge alone, it will cost 10 US dollars a piece."

"The next step is the reporter's question session. We invite three reporters to ask questions, and the remaining questions will be answered by the workers."

A beautiful reporter asked: "Mr. Yokoi, when will the FC red and white machine be launched?"

Yokoi Junpei: "It will be launched after the exhibition. Now the manufacturing center in Xiangjiang is stepping up its time to stock up."

Another reporter asked: "What kind of performance TV is suitable for this game console? Or do you have to buy a Black Cloud TV Festival?"

Yokoi Junpei: "Theoretically any TV can be used. We have designed 3 different interfaces. The interface can meet the needs of most TVs on the market. Unless the home is a specially customized TV festival, this is not a problem."

Many TV manufacturers are relieved to hear this. If it is really incompatible with the Black Cloud game console, it will also be a big loss for TV sales.

Finally, a middle-aged man reporter asked: "Mr. Yokoi, is this game console a copy of Atari 2?"

This question is a bit troubling, but fortunately Yokoi Junpei was prepared.

Yokoi Junpei: "I want to explain this point. The home game console is an idea. No one can register the brand or patent. This is just a general term. As for you saying that the FC Famicom copied Atari 2."

"As for the game controller, we use the cross key, which is patented by Heiyun. They use the direction override lever. In terms of game console performance, Heiyun is much better. Why are you plagiarizing this statement? It’s an insult to Heiyun engineers. Please investigate carefully next time before asking questions. After all, you don’t fully understand the performance of this game console.”

Under not very friendly circumstances, Heiyun’s first product ended its recommendation. This was just a small episode. Even Atari could not find evidence of plagiarism. At the beginning of the design, Bao Zixuan asked engineers to avoid all possible patent barriers.

After Yokoi Junpei and Miyamoto Hao walked off the stage, many buyers gathered around and started negotiating business. Everyone wants to get this game console as soon as possible. After all, this is a product that can make money as soon as it is shipped.

After a break, Panasonic representatives took the stage to introduce the refrigerator. This energy-saving refrigerator is still very popular and uses less electricity than Siemens of Germany last year. It seems that Panasonic has really spent money on research and development this time.
