Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

The news of Mingren and his wife's appearance at Bai Chuanfeng's wedding made it to the headlines of major newspapers without any surprise.

Although the wedding rejected all media interviews, he also instructed other colleagues not to report as much as possible.

But the appearance of the crown prince was an accident, how could such an important explosive news be covered up.

Besides, there were so many guests attending the wedding banquet, so there was no secret to tell from word of mouth.

Not surprisingly, the newspapers and TV news the next day were all about his wedding scene.

Prince Akihito and his wife will be the witnesses, look how good this is?

May I ask, has the royal family had any similar activities in the past ten years or so?

No! But the more this is the case, the more it brings out the extraordinary of Bai Chuanfeng's wedding.

Even if he himself explained that Akihito was just dropping by and not a witness.

But the general public didn't believe it, and the media followed suit, using all kinds of suggestive words.

If such a gimmick is not used, how can the sales of newspapers be increased.

Therefore, after two consecutive days of reports and analysis from various angles, the news that Prince Akihito proposed marriage to Bai Chuanfeng was confirmed.

While the public secretly lamented Bai Chuanfeng's strong connections, they were also very curious about how he got involved with the royal family.

It doesn't matter if you have such curiosity, because soon the media dug out the truth that Bai Chuanfeng is a descendant of the Tozawa family.

Who is Tozawa? Some people may not have heard of it, but the caring media has already thought of this.

In related reports, by the way, science popularization, the inheritance of the Tozawa clan. It can be traced back to Hengwu Licking Emperor, who is a descendant of the Ping family.

In this way, the general public has a little understanding. It turns out that the descendants of the Ping family are related to the royal family.

At the same time, this also made people feel a little relieved. It is understandable for people to be able to rise in such a short period of time if they are descended from nobles.

After all, the family has a long history, and some backgrounds are not surprising.

Therefore, many people took it for granted that with his noble blood, his probability of success was naturally higher than that of ordinary people.

When Bai Chuanfeng saw this statement, he couldn't laugh or cry.

This is all about what, really according to the blood, I can't beat the Heping family.

Xiaotian likes to adopt a son to find an heir. After thousands of years, there is no blood relationship.

But this kind of argument is still very marketable, and quite a few people tend to this view.

Forget it, Bai Chuanfeng didn't bother to argue.

All he needs to do is to make the word "Bai Chuan" more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people until it becomes a household name.

At that time, the theory of bloodlines and aristocracy will naturally disappear, and the real influence is the most convincing.

After two days of news after getting married, Bai Chuanfeng returned to busy work.

It's not the time to lie down, especially when he has a child, he thinks more about it.

The time has entered June, and besides continuing to promote the sales of FES game consoles, Shirakawa Electric has not stopped innovating new game cassettes.

After more than two months of fermentation, the FES game console platform has ushered in the tenth game.

As a competitor, Nintendo has also accumulated six games on FC.

Especially the latest work "Mario Brothers", it can be regarded as showing its face in cassette sales.

The sales volume of 500,000 in less than a month is slightly better than that of Baichuan Electric's "Snowman Brothers" in the same period.

"Mario Brothers" can be regarded as the prequel of "Super Mario", and many gameplays and character images are already very similar to the latter.

This game is also derived from "Donkey Kong", so the name of Shigeru Miyamoto is naturally not missing from its producer team.

It is not that Bai Chuanfeng has no idea about this game genius.

However, after checking his background resume, HAL had to give up such a plan.

Miyamoto Shigeru's father, Miyamoto Erzhong, and Nintendo's Hiroshi Yamauchi were good friends when they were young, and the two are considered family friends.

With this kind of relationship, how could HAL dig it.

In Neon, sometimes bonds are more reliable than money.

So after understanding this, Bai Chuanfeng could only put down the hoe he just raised.

However, although Nintendo had a slight victory, Baichuan Electric was not panicked at all.

Because "Gold Digger" also achieved this achievement in May, and left no scum left in Nintendo's "Mahjong" and "Gobang".

FES has been on the market for two months, and more than ten game cassettes have sold more than 4 million copies in total.

Relying on these games alone, Shirakawa Electric has made a profit of over 8 billion yen, making it a big money-absorbing player.

And like Nintendo, HAL is also developing better-selling game cartridges, its sequels or derivative IPs.

For example, "Double Dragon II", and "Bomberman", which was developed based on the villain in "Gold Digger".

The cultivation of IP in the market has always been like this. Only through continuous development of sequels can fans be slowly accumulated.

Then wait for a day when an excellent game of the same series will completely ignite the enthusiasm of fans and usher in a big explosion in sales.

Of course, in addition to the development of the sequel, HAL is also quietly accumulating strength, preparing for a big wave.

Within the development team, a project codenamed "Zelda" has been officially approved.

This will be the first role-playing game, or RPG, on a home console.

Of course, whether it will develop into an ACT+RPG game in the future is another story.

But the current first-generation works are defined as RPG games within HAL.

It will have a rigorous game background and story setting, with growing characters, diverse and complex props.

In addition, the game cartridge will also support the storage function, and the game progress will not be lost after power failure.

There is no doubt that this is an ambitious and epic game, and it will surely leave a magnificent chapter in the history of video games.

However, such complex game content and settings will also require a huge amount of research and development costs and development time.

At present, HAL is expected to officially launch this game around 1985.

In order not to affect the development progress of other games, HAL also divided into 6 development teams, each responsible for different game development.

With the development of the game console business, the scale of HAL is also slowly expanding.

Of course, in addition to game cassettes, FES game consoles also officially achieved the achievement of million sales in June.

Millions of sales, even if FES is cheaper. But for a product, that can already be called a rage.

And when it comes to millions of sales, the reporters think of the flag that someone once set.

No, it was hard to catch the opportunity, and the reporters put the microphones into Hiroshi Yamauchi's mouth one after another.

"Yamauchi-san, you once said 'If Shirakawa Electric's FES sells 1 million units, you will walk upside down'. Is this true?"

These reporters also watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal, they only picked on Yamauchi Hiroshi's weakness.

Facing the troublesome reporters, Hiroshi Yamauchi certainly would not respond directly.

With a dark face, he hurriedly tried to squeeze out of the crowd. It is better to escape as soon as possible at this kind of face-slapping moment.

"Yamauchi-san, what do you think of the statement that 'FC's performance and graphics lag behind FES, so it sells poorly'?"

Hiroshi Yamauchi, who had already made up his mind not to say a word, couldn't help it anymore when he heard this.

Just kidding, the development tenet of Nintendo game consoles is that content is king, supplemented by hardware.

In terms of content, Nintendo does not admit that it is inferior to Shirakawa Electric.

For the role of hardware, Hiroshi Yamauchi himself is very disdainful.

Without even thinking about it, he turned around and retorted, "The advancement of game technology is not necessarily a good thing.

Consumers will not be interested in so-called luxury masterpieces with more advanced graphics, sound and story.

The game should be as simple as possible, and most importantly, fun. "

Hey guys, there are people who deny technological progress.

Even if the reporters don't understand games, they also understand that technological progress must have positive significance for games.

But there are people who have negative opinions on this.

The reporters were overjoyed, look, just after the last flag was slapped in the face, Yamauchi-san actually thoughtfully set up another one.

"Yamauchi-san, do you think that the advancement of technology hinders the development of games?"

"Yamauchi-san, do you think games do not apply the law of positive feedback brought about by technological progress?"

To say that they are indeed professional, the reporters who put on hats are more slippery than the other.

Unsurprisingly, facing the reporter's questioning, Hiroshi Yamauchi still turned a deaf ear and left the scene.

Although I have never won by talking loudly, if I apologize, I will lose.

As long as I refuse to admit it, I will always win.

Hiroshi Yamauchi has completely understood the way of setting up the flag.

Of course, after this incident, it was not that no one asked Bai Chuanfeng's opinion.

To this, he just smiled and responded, "If the number that Yamauchi-san said at the beginning was 10 million units, maybe there would be no such troubles now."

After getting his response, the reporters couldn't help laughing on the spot, winning the bamboo shoots.

Not only secretly mocked Hiroshi Yamauchi's short-sightedness, but also raised Shirakawa Electric's FES target to 10 million units.

Look at their ambitions, 1 million units is not within the target range at all, it is too low~

Because of the sales of game consoles, there was a lot of excitement in the newspapers.

That's what makes it interesting. If everyone is in harmony, what do ordinary people think?

However, Bai Chuanfeng only paid attention to this matter for a while, and then stopped paying attention.

In June, another achievement of SIC was also officially commercialized.

The time coincided with the summer vacation, and Casio released two new products, TV Watch, which caused a sensation at the Tokyo and Osaka Electronics Fairs.

The reason why it caused a sensation in the audience is just like its name "TV Watch", which is a watch that can watch TV programs.

Two watches, one color and one black and white.

Their watch bodies have two independent screens, and the upper screen is an ordinary electronic watch TN screen, which can watch time, set alarm clock, calendar, stopwatch, etc.

The color of the lower screen is a TFT screen, and the black and white one is an STN screen.

Among them, the color TV watch has a screen size of only 16.8x25.2mm, which is less than 2 inches. A total of more than 60,000 pixels, priced at 120,000 yen.

A black and white TV watch, the size is slightly larger than the former, about 2.5 inches. It has more than 30,000 pixels and costs 70,000 yen.

A watch that can watch TV shows on the go? And black and white?

The people present were stunned, they had never seen such a brain hole product.

In the 80s, it was like something out of a sci-fi movie, dazzling.

Imagine how cool it is to be able to enjoy TV programs anytime, anywhere on the way to work or out in the wild.

Although the price is expensive, it cannot resist the temptation of its sci-fi features.

The people present went to experience Casio's TV Watch one after another, but the long queue alone extended directly to the gate of the venue.

So how is this unique TV watch made?

Cough ~ SIC means low-key, this is just a small scene.
