Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

Chapter 166 Handheld Game Console

Looking at Tanimura and Iwata Satoru's eyes that were so astonished, Bai Chuanfeng almost smiled.

"Let's get to know each other again." Bai Chuanfeng took out his business card from his pocket, and handed it to the two of them with both hands, "My humble Bai Chuanfeng, president of Baichuan Electric Co., Ltd., nice to meet you."

Tsk, I haven't come to this set of procedures for a long time, and the techniques are a bit rusty.

"Shirakawa Electric?!" Iwata Satoru and his friends were stunned.

As for the other people in the room, when they heard Bai Chuan Feng mentioning the name Bai Chuan Electric, they all had shocked faces.

At this time, Baichuan Electric is no longer an unknown small club, especially recently it has been frequently published in newspapers.

Anyone who pays a little attention to current affairs has heard of the name of Baichuan Electric.

But they don't know that Sang, the president of Baichuan Electric, is so young and is standing in front of them now.

After all, when Bai Chuanfeng appeared on the TV news footage, it was only a short dozen seconds.

And not everyone likes to watch the news, especially young people.

Therefore, everyone was dumbfounded that this young student who chatted with them for a long time turned out to be the president of Baichuan Electrical Appliances, Sang.

Go out and go shopping casually, and you can meet the legendary president Sang?

The good friend I met while playing games turned out to be a capital boss?

The billionaire treats me to ice cream himself?

The expressions of the people in the room were surprised for a while, and delighted for a while.

Especially Iwata Satoshi and Tanimura Masahiro, the two of them had the most complicated feelings.

"Bai... Shirakawa-kun?" Satoshi Iwata didn't know what to call him for a while, this friend he had already introduced as a confidant before.

"Iwata-kun" Bai Chuanfeng patted his shoulders the same as before, "Hey, don't show such an expression, we agreed to play games together in the future."

"Hay" Satoru Iwata showed a happy smile on his face. He felt that Bai Chuan still loved computers as much as before.

Sure enough, Bai Chuanfeng's next words made him more sure of his conjecture.

"Iwata-kun, remember what I said before? In the future, I will develop my own game and share this fun with more people."

"Of course." Satoru Iwata replied without thinking, "Would you like to come together, Bai Chuan-kun?" Just like before, he extended an invitation to Bai Chuan Feng again.

"Such an interesting thing, you must bring me along." Bai Chuanfeng had an expression of "of course".

Is there any reason not to agree to this kind of thing? The next product of Shirakawa Electric might fall on this one.

Iwata Satoru nodded in relief, sure enough, Shirakawa-san still understands me.

As for the 'President Sang' who shocked me just now, it is nothing more than another layer of identity.

As a student, Iwata Satoru is still completely unable to understand the difference between the two.

"Bai Chuan... Jun, what you just said..." At this moment, Gu Cun was able to return to God, and was looking at Bai Chuanfeng with bright eyes.

Others don't know what Baichuan Electric means, but he still doesn't know.

As he has worked in Seibu Department Store for nearly two years, it can be said that he deals with the products of Shirakawa Electric almost every day.

Diagonally opposite the computer sales area he is in charge of, there are counters for various audio playback equipment.

And the best seller this year is the Walkman player.

If the Walkman ignores Aihua, then there are only products from Sony and Shirakawa Electric.

The two of them have almost divided up the entire Walkman market. If you think about how popular this machine is now, you can probably know what Shirakawa Electric represents.

Not to mention their headphones, which are almost the darling of the market now.

According to gossip, Shirakawa Electric's next-generation products, whether it is a walkman or earphones, will have a substantial improvement in audio technology.

Those electronic music lovers would go to the counter every now and then to inquire about the latest information about new products.

So it is different from other people who regard Shirakawa Electric as a well-known club that has been published in newspapers.

Tanimura Masahin has a deeper understanding of what it can represent behind it than everyone else.

Hearing Tanimura's question, Bai Chuanfeng also calmed down and answered seriously.

"If there are no accidents, the funding party of HAL may change. Of course, all of this requires the approval of Mr. Tanimura."

After all, HAL is currently the one who actually does things, and Bai Chuanfeng himself is a layman in software.

If Tanimura disagrees, even if HAL is bought, it will be just a shell company. Then this investment will be meaningless.

"Yes, yes..." As soon as Bai Chuanfeng finished speaking, Tanimura hurriedly agreed.

"Jingle Bell…"

At this time, the ringing of the phone on the desk interrupted half of Tanimura's words.

He nodded apologetically to Bai Chuanfeng, then walked over and picked up the phone.

"Moshi Moshi...Iwasaki-san?...Hay...please don't worry..."

Taking advantage of Tanimura's phone call, Bai Chuanfeng turned his head to look at Kobayashi Asuka.

The latter winked at him playfully, with an expression like 'I'm very good'.

Bai Chuanfeng gave her a positive look, yes, capable.

Within two minutes, Tanimura hung up the phone, and then turned around excitedly.

"Bai Chuan-san, please take care of me in the future." As he spoke, he bowed to Bai Chuan Feng in a polite manner.

Bai Chuanfeng was a little dumbfounded, "Tanimura-kun, you don't have to, just keep calling me 'Bai Chuan-kun'."

This Tanimura is also a wonderful person, he is so happy to change his boss, without the slightest feeling of anxiety about changing his boss.

However, Tanimura no longer called him "Shirakawa-kun" as before, and his attitude instantly became respectful.

Bai Chuanfeng persuaded him a few times, but seeing that it didn't work, he let him go.

"Bai Chuan-san, which direction do you think HAL should develop in the future?"

Tanimura, who was very winking, quickly adapted to the changed identity, and began to ask Bai Chuanfeng for instructions on the next development direction of the club.

"Tanimura-kun, follow HAL's previously established plan and continue to implement it."

For HAL, Bai Chuanfeng doesn't intend to directly intervene at present, the club has just been established, so let's do some training first.

Moreover, HAL is not entirely a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shirakawa Electric, according to the news just now from Kobayashi Asuka.

Iwasaki Giken contributed 1.2 million yen to help Tanimura establish HAL. As for Tanimura himself, the poor went to work by themselves, let alone funding.

However, considering the particularity of the club, it is highly dependent on technology. Tanimura also got about 13% of the shares through the way of the founder's technology investment.

After all, as the actual operator and manager of the club, it is also necessary to have shares.

Especially in this kind of highly professional club, there is no person with strong technical strength as the team leader, so it is still a question of whether they can play around.

And the start-up capital of 1.2 million yen, two computers, an apartment, and other odds and ends of office supplies are almost all bottomed out.

It's not that Tanimura didn't think about persuading Iwasaki Giken to continue to invest more.

However, that Iwasaki-san only came up with the idea of ​​investing on a whim. As for continuing to invest money, he really didn't have that interest.

So Kobayashi Asuka just made a phone call and directly bid 3 million yen to buy the HAL shares held by Iwasaki Giken.

That Iwasaki-san agreed without even thinking about it. The club was established less than two months ago, and the rate of return was 2.5 times.

Is there any reason not to agree, and besides, he also annoys that Tanimura-san who often asks him for money.

As if he regarded HAL as a burden, he couldn't wait to dump it to Baichuan Electric.

This is also the reason why Tanimura received a call right after the matter was finalized.

In terms of efficiency, everyone is not bad.

At this moment, Tanimura was also relieved to hear that Bai Chuanfeng did not intend to directly intervene in the management of HAL.

After all, as the president of Sang, who would like to have an extra boss who is indiscriminate in command?

"Bai Chuan-san, currently HAL plans to do computer peripherals first, or take over some software work.

For example, peripheral equipment that can improve the image display and sound capabilities of the microcomputer, or transplant video games to the microcomputer end for further development and sales. "

Tanimura's thinking is still very clear, he can try both software and hardware.

What to do to make money, the club survives first.

Moreover, these part-time college students in the room are also good at these fields, let them tinker and tinker, maybe they can really make something.

Bai Chuanfeng has no opinion on the current development plan of HAL, but he also has some ideas of his own when it comes to games.

"Tanimura-kun, have you ever heard of a handheld game console?"

"Handheld game console?" Tanimura was stunned for a moment and then realized, "Bai Chuan-san is talking about a portable game console, right?"

"That's right." Bai Chuanfeng nodded, there are already handhelds in this era.

But it is not Nintendo, but a game console manufacturer from the United States, Mattel.

In 1976, Mattel released the world's first handheld, a very simple football-themed game console.

It has a pitifully few buttons and a pitifully small screen, but it's still very popular.

Since then, the concept of handheld game consoles has officially entered the eyes of the public, and it has spread to Japan in the past two years.

Although it hasn't become popular yet, it's hard for the well-informed Tanimura.

After all, he was working in a department store, so he had never seen any weird products.

"So Bai Chuan-san means...?" Tanimura probably had a guess in his mind.

"Since HAL also accepts game business, why not try it here.

As for the hardware, leave it to Shirakawa Electric. Of course, the same goes for the peripherals of the microcomputer that Mr. Tanimura just mentioned. "

With the production capacity of Baichuan Electric, these things are not a problem.

After all, it doesn't involve any difficult manufacturing process, and there are no special raw materials, so it shouldn't be difficult to make.

Bai Chuanfeng's meaning is obvious, HAL is only responsible for the design and content development.

As for the actual carrier, Baichuan Electric will undertake it and provide one-stop service directly.

Only in this way can profits be maximized, and they are all self-owned industries.

Whether it is resource coordination or communication, it is much more convenient.

Hearing Bai Chuanfeng's exact plan, Tan Cun's eyes also brightened.

This seems to be a trick, and a lot of docking links are saved in the middle, and HAL has more energy to focus on the content.

"Okay, HAL will focus on the software, and take on some similar businesses in the early stage to get familiar with the production process."

Since he thought it was feasible, Tanimura did not hesitate, and immediately decided to test the waters with this first.

With HAL's current ability, it is too complicated to handle, but the simpler game content is perfect.

Handheld games perfectly fit this point, the programming is very simple, but the requirements for the fun of the game are relatively high.

After all, the reason why small games are attractive and interesting is their common feature.

In terms of fun, Bai Chuanfeng turned his head to look at Iwata Satoshi, whose eyes were shining brightly.

"Iwata-kun, what kind of game do you want to make, have you shared it with everyone?"

"Eh?"
