Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

The stock price of Baichuan Electric reached its daily limit in less than an hour after its listing, and it wasn't just the people involved in the East Exchange who were excited.

The Shirakawa Electric Factory, which is also located in various places, is also a scene of jubilation.

As immediate stakeholders, many workers not only bought original shares, but even bought some issued shares.

Their idea is very simple, Baichuan Electric is about to go public, so it is right for them to support it.

I have to say that the neon workers at this time have a very strong sense of belonging to their club.

Under the background of the era of lifetime employment system, they generally regard the club as the destination of their future career.

Coupled with the series of policies formulated by Shirakawa Electric, it is actually very caring for workers.

So out of gratitude and everyone's strong sense of belonging, there are not a few people who buy new shares.

Now that Shirakawa Electric's stock price has reached its peak and reached the daily limit price of 1,300 yen, everyone has reasons to be happy.

You must know that as internal employees, the price they purchased the original stock was only 200 yen per plant.

The current stock price is 1,300 yen, and this calculation is a difference of 1,100 yen.

Even though each person only has a limit of 1,000 plants, the net profit of nearly one million yen in just half a day.

1 million yen, this is their salary for more than half a year.

How can such a huge sum of money be unhappy for the bottom wage earners.

Having made a fortune, they jumped up and down excitedly in the auditorium, and some even raised their fists and shouted "President, on board!".

With this listing experience, not to mention the employees of Baichuan Electric, they cherish their work even more in their hearts.

At the same time, I was secretly thinking that I could buy more employee shares within the club in the future.

This is Shirakawa Electric's benefit for its own employees. For every purchase of 10,000 yen, 20% more stocks will be given away.

Many large companies will have such equity incentives, the purpose is to encourage employees to support their own stocks.

Not to mention the jubilation here at Shirakawa Electric, Hiroshi Yamauchi, who is far away in Kyoto, is also in a very complicated mood at this time.

The stock price of Shirakawa Electric has reached its daily limit, and to be honest, Nintendo, who made a stealthy move, also made a fortune.

But Hiroshi Yamauchi felt uncomfortable when he thought of his competitor Shirakawa Electric making more money.

That's right, his thoughts are so simple, if only he can make money and Baichuan Electric loses, that would be great.

Especially the stock price of 1300 yen, that is really quite dazzling.

Nintendo's stock price is still fluctuating within 200 yen, not even a fraction of Shirakawa Electric.

Not to mention the total market value, Nintendo is only 200-300 billion, while Shirakawa Electric is close to 1100 billion

Sour, really sour.

Hiroshi Yamauchi, who was not feeling well, thought for a while, and then asked someone to call Uemura Masayuki from the second R\u0026D department to the office.

"How's our home console development going?"

That's right, Nintendo is also developing its own home game console, and even the project was established at about the same time as Shirakawa Electric.

It was around November last year that I came up with such an idea.

It has to be said that as opponents of each other, although the two sides did not disclose any information at the beginning, their actions were surprisingly consistent.

However, Bai Chuan Electric wanted to develop a home game console because Bai Chuanfeng personally ordered it.

However, Nintendo's development of home game consoles was influenced by Coleco. In the US market, Coleco's home game consoles were authorized by Nintendo's "Donkey Kong".

After that, the "Donkey Kong" cassette game developed by Coleco sold more than 1 million sets in just one year.

Can Nintendo, as the owner of the game copyright, be jealous? Does Hiroshi Yamauchi have any ideas?

Wanting to make money everywhere, he ordered the development of a home computer without hesitation, and took a prototype from Coleco as a reference object.

Masayuki Uemura, who is currently in charge of the development of home game consoles, was a little embarrassed when he heard Hiroshi Yamauchi's question.

"Other issues are being resolved one after another, but the processor has not yet been finalized."

After several years of intensive cultivation in the field of game consoles, Nintendo has also accumulated some of its own technology.

But when it comes to using it, it feels that it is not enough, because home game consoles and handheld consoles and arcade consoles are completely different platforms.

The handheld is too simple, and its development experience cannot be used on home game consoles at all.

The arcade machine is too huge, and the internal circuit board is completely a giant.

It is not the slightest bit of difficulty for Nintendo to miniaturize them and stuff them into a small home machine.

However, these are not problems, the most critical thing is the processor.

It is the core accessory of the home game console, and its selection determines the hardware cost, operation status and development difficulty of the machine.

Uemura Masayuki and other people in the team went to the semiconductor company to study the design plan, but the results were not ideal.

Hiroshi Yamauchi subconsciously frowned when he heard that the development of the home computer encountered difficulties.

"Is there no processor on the market that can satisfy the needs of home computer development?"

"Yes, there is, but due to cost or other reasons, it has not been decided yet." Uemura Masayuki showed embarrassment.

"Tell me in detail." The tyrant Hiroshi Yamauchi is going to personally determine the processor selection right now, and the development progress of Shirakawa Electric has also put him under a lot of pressure.

Uemura Masayuki considered it for a while, and then answered.

"The Z80 used in arcades can also be used as a processor for home game consoles, but the model is old and the price is a bit high.

MOS6502 is also available. Atari's home game consoles use their chip, but its price is about the same as Z80, and the budget is a bit tight.

But there is another kind of chip on the market, the performance and price are the best choice, and it is also a processor designed by a local company of Neon.”

"Oh~ Which company's products are the Neon local chips?" Yamauchi Hiroshi's eyes lit up.

The local ones are good, relying on their personal connections, it must not be difficult to negotiate this business.

"Uh," Masato Uemura hesitated, "It's SIC's SIC8089A processor."

In terms of chip selection for home computers, Masayuki Uemura has tried most of the processors on the market.

SIC8089A is one of the few chips he likes.

In terms of performance, it is even better than Z80 and MOS6502, and the price is only a dozen dollars, which is the cheapest processor on the market.

It is said that as long as the order volume reaches 1 million pieces, the price will drop by one-third. This offer is very attractive.

Compared with the other two chips, it will definitely save a lot of cost.

I just don't know how the president will be chosen, Uemura Masayuki looked up at Hiroshi Yamauchi behind the desk.

Hearing Masayuki Uemura's name of SIC, Hiroshi Yamauchi's frown, which had just been loosened, frowned again.

If it was before, maybe he wouldn't think much about it.

But after Baichuan Electric's briefing session, why didn't he understand who the capital behind SIC was? You must know that he was there at the time.

After thinking about it again and again, Hiroshi Yamauchi still rejected the SIC chip in his heart, and joked that using competitors' products for core components would be too risky.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone on the table and started dialing the number.

After a while, the phone was connected, and Hiroshi Yamauchi said a few words before hanging up.

"Go to Ricoh, they have licensed MOS6502 and developed their own chip based on this technology.

Just contacted them, there should be a good discount on the quotation. "

"Hay" Uemura Masayuki nodded, expressing his understanding.

Ricoh Semiconductor and Nintendo also have a certain cooperative relationship. Their arcade machine is commissioned by Mitsubishi Electric to develop, and the chips used in it are products from Ricoh.

There is such a layer of relationship, and they can be regarded as some friends.

Looking at Uemura Masayuki's leaving back, Hiroshi Yamauchi sighed wearily.

Now it is more and more powerless to deal with Baichuan Electric.

Before, it was possible to stumbling the opponent on the LCD, but in less than a year, the LCD factory of Shirakawa Electric has been put into production.

Now it's even more serious, the opponent of the processor chip is eligible to get a share of the pie.

Compared with Shirakawa Electric, Nintendo's technical accumulation is too far behind.

The only place where Nintendo can still have an advantage now is that the content development team and related talent reserves are stronger.

I just don't know how long this advantage can last.

Hiroshi Yamauchi looked in the direction of Tokyo worriedly, in a daze.

But Bai Chuanfeng, who is far away in Tokyo, is being enthusiastically sought after by the media at this moment.

"Bai Chuan-san, how do you feel about the stock price going up by the limit on the first day of listing?"

"Baichuan Electric's market value has exceeded one trillion yuan, and it has officially become a super giant enterprise. Then, what strategic adjustments will your company make in terms of operation next?"

"Bai Chuan-san, what plans do you have for your personal life after becoming a trillionaire?"

Everyone's questions are varied, but most of them are focused on the issue of wealth.

Either it is about Shirakawa Electric, or it is about personal life.

When everyone thinks about it, the wealth has skyrocketed suddenly, so can the plane and yacht be arranged?

After all, the public pays attention to these things and likes to read gossip about them.

Regarding these weird questions, Bai Chuanfeng couldn't laugh or cry.

However, as a post-listing media appreciation meeting, he can only answer as formally as possible.

The audience is full of business people, how can they speak freely and do whatever they want.

I'm really in a hurry to ask, and the most I can reply is a private jet or something, I have no plans for now.

"Shirakawa-san, Nintendo's Yamauchi Pu-san said two days ago that if Shirakawa Electric sells more than one million home game consoles, he will walk upside down.

What are your thoughts on Yamauchi-san's response? Do you have confidence in the sales of 1 million home game consoles of Shirakawa Electric? "

The media, which is not too serious to watch the excitement, of course will not let go of this breaking news.

At the press conference after Baichuan Electric's listing, he directly asked Baichuan Feng face to face.

As soon as this question was asked, the eyes of the reporters around were all brightened. Eating melons has been really enjoyable recently.

"On this issue, I don't have much opinion. But Yamauchi-san is old, so there is no need to walk upside down.

As a junior, no matter how the home game consoles of Shirakawa Electric will perform in the future, I will visit them personally. "

After hearing Bai Chuanfeng's answer, the reporters automatically ignored the second sentence.

The first sentence is a meat scene. The reporters around are writing furiously, with indescribably satisfied expressions on their faces.

Listen, this answer is wonderful.

It seems that he is understanding Hiroshi Yamauchi's status as a senior, but isn't there another meaning in his words that Shirakawa Electric must win?

However, unlike Yamauchi Hiroshi's big mouth, even if Shirakawa Electric wins, it won't really make Yamauchi Hiroshi walk upside down.

Look, there are both self-confidence and grace, and the responses of both sides are judged.

Cough, in front of the media, I still have to say something nice.

Of course, Bai Chuanfeng heard the remarks made by Hiroshi Yamauchi about his game console. After all, someone called him that day.

But he was too lazy to talk about it, it was too low.

At any rate, with our current status, we no longer need to fight for fame with oral sex.

But since this question is asked, it is okay to respond a little bit.

I don't even look at what occasion it is now, hey, but how can it give confidence to shareholders and investors.

Just after the media meeting of Shirakawa Electric, people from IBM found him again.

After the blue book jointly released by Shirakawa Electric and Sony was officially launched, Louis, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, could no longer maintain his previous calmness.

Yesterday, I wanted to contact Bai Chuan Electric to talk about the standardization of optical drives, but because I was busy with the listing, Bai Chuanfeng had no time to talk to him.

Now that the listing has ended, the other party can't wait to come to the door.

Forget it, the disc storage problem that has dragged on for so long should be over.
