Reborn Tycoon Rise

Although they did not obtain the cross-key patent, Sony and Midea still have a lot of cooperation in other fields. Sony relies on Midea to get a big share of the local game market in Japan, and Midea's current expansion of home appliances also relies on Sony's sales. and after-sales channels.

But both parties understand that this kind of cooperation cannot last long. Sony's entry into the game market has posed a threat to Midea's core areas. Although Xu Zhi has absolute confidence in creativity, Sony's history is one of turning the impossible into possible. Xu Zhi did not dare to take it lightly.

On the other hand, using Sony's existing channels, Midea has begun to establish its own sales network and after-sales system. This will also take a certain amount of time. There will not be any major conflicts between the two parties in the short term!

Sony's entry into the gaming field so quickly was beyond Xu Zhi's expectation. Its butterfly effect successfully stimulated the gaming market, but it also attracted many people who wanted to share the cake.

After Morita Shaofu left, Xu Zhi told He Guoyuan what happened. After listening, He Guoyuan asked: "What should we do next?"

Xu Zhi asked: "How are Contra and Mario doing?"

He Guoyuan said: "It's almost there. The sample has been tested for a long time and there are no major problems. According to our previous plan, it will be launched in September."

"In advance!" Xu Zhi said: "Start preparing for release next month!"

He Guoyuan asked: "Why, although the sales of Tank Battle and Pac-Man are currently declining, the market potential has not been fully digested. Now if we launch Mario and Contra, internal competition may affect these two old games. Arcade sales!”

Xu Zhidao: "This is actually my purpose. I have thought about it this way before, but the situation is different now. Sony has acquired Nintendo. Sony has the technology and funds, and Nintendo has professional talents in gaming. I must use the best possible method." A ruthless force will hit the market and increase the appetite of all players for games. Otherwise, according to the current players' requirements for games, once Sony's first game successfully enters, there will be even worse competition in the future!

Moreover, if we develop the potential of Contra and Mario early, we can also make profits early. If these profits are used for other investments, they may be higher than the losses of Tanks and Pac-Man. "

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "Yes, we only look at profits from the game itself, but we don't pay attention to the fact that money can be reinvested."

Xu Zhi asked: "How is the home game console?"

He Guoyuan said: "We have tested Tank Battle, Xiangjiang Cube, Mario and Contra, and the results are very good. But the biggest problem at present is that there are too few game types. Contra and Mario Arcade have not yet been released, and Tank Battle has not yet been released. The arcade machines of Pac-Man and Pac-Man are still on sale. If we port these two games to home consoles, I am afraid that these arcade owners will suffer serious losses. This is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst for our company.

The only games that can be played are Cube and Pac-Man, but these two games are currently available on Gameboy, and they are much cheaper than game consoles. Without good games, it may be difficult to open up the market? "

Xu Zhi said: "There is this problem, but since we have decided to launch Mario and Contra into the arcade market, there will be very few people interested in playing Tank Battle and Pac-Man in the next few months. By then we will The pressure on this aspect will be much less when we release motherboard cartridges for these two games.”

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "This method is indeed good!"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It's almost the end of May now. I've contacted major dealers and immediately airlifted Contra and Mario arcade machines to them in early June so that they can test the market. Once their orders come back, Xiangjiang will The factory next to me is fully producing, and I want all other game manufacturers to rot their arcade machines in their warehouses!"

Inside the Evergrande office:

Li Jiacheng took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that Xu Sheng is planning to build a five-star hotel in Shenhai City?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Li Sheng's information is really sensitive!"

During the trip to Shenzhen and Shekou at the beginning of the month, Li Jiacheng was actually going to go with him, but something big seemed to have happened suddenly within Yangtze River Industries. Li Jiacheng informed everyone that they could not leave Xiangjiang for the time being, and explained to Deputy Director Shen of Shekou that the company's internal matters would be resolved. , you will definitely make a trip to Shekou alone.

After Xu Zhi and others left the mainland, Li Jiacheng went to Shekou alone. With his status, he was bound to be received by senior officials of the local government. It was probably at that time that Xu Baohuo and the others planned to invest in the construction of a hotel. Li Jiacheng learned about it.

Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just didn't expect Xu Sheng to be so optimistic about the mainland and want to build the tallest building in the mainland!"

Xu Zhidao: “Since we want to build something, of course we have to build it to the best!”

After confirming that he was ready to invest in this hotel, Xu Zhi talked to Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong alone, and finally convinced them that this hotel was mainly invested by Xu Zhi, and the name of the hotel would be Evergrande Hotel.

In fact, this is not just for investment, but to build up the reputation of his company in the mainland and make this hotel a symbol of reform and opening up in the mainland, so the tallest building in the country is for this purpose.

In this era in the Mainland, taller buildings represent more prestige. In the 1980s and 1990s, with the reputation of the tallest building in the country, Evergrande Group could spread throughout the Mainland in a short period of time.

The planned hotel is 200 meters high and has a total of 58 floors. Half of it is used as a hotel and the rest can be used as an office building for rent. If it is in Hong Kong, the construction cost of this building may be as high as two to three billion Hong Kong dollars, but in the mainland , the labor and construction costs are extremely low, and it is estimated that it can be successfully constructed with HK$100 million, which also includes the huge green area around it.

Now everything is ready, all it needs is the approval of the central government.

Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "I am also interested in investing in this kind of project. I wonder if I can take a share?"

Xu Zhidao: "Li Sheng, if you want to invest in the mainland, there are so many ways. Why do you have to take a share in everything? If you want to build a hotel, as far as I know, Yangcheng and Shanghai have this plan. These two The city is a big city in the mainland, why doesn't Li Sheng go to these two places to see it?"

Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "Although these two cities are developed, their investment environment is not as good as Shenhai City!"

After hearing this, Xu Zhi couldn't help but look at Li Jiacheng. This guy has really good eyesight. He can actually know the biggest investment issue in the mainland!

Many friends in the 21st century believe that investing in the Mainland in the 1980s was the golden age for foreign businessmen, but this is not the case. At least before 1985, except for Shenhai City, investment in other places in the Mainland, except Shenhai City, often fell into unsolvable problems when encountering policy issues. situation!

In later generations, in the early 1980s, Huo Yingdong invested in the White Swan Hotel in Yangcheng, because modern hotels require more than 100,000 items, which are basically not available in the mainland and can only be imported from overseas.

But importing something requires the signatures of more than a dozen departments. Huo Yingdong was so frustrated that he was finally forced to contact many senior officials of the central government to set an opening time, forcing Yangcheng government officials to improve efficiency!

Why was Shenhai City able to develop in such a short period of time? The proximity to Xiangjiang is indeed a geographical reason, but the simplicity of policies and the high efficiency of government personnel are the fundamental reasons!

Xu Zhi said: "There are still a lot of places for investment in Shenhai City. Li Sheng can do more inspections!"

Li Jiacheng did not answer directly and said: "Xu Sheng, investing in Deep Sea is just a trivial matter. I came here today to bring you good news. Dabao Real Estate has agreed to sell its shares in Weicheng Company!"

Xu Zhi suddenly became excited and said, "What's the price?"

Li Jiacheng said: "For 180 million Hong Kong dollars, all 25% of the shares will be transferred to you!"

"180 million?" Xu Zhi sneered: "This Dabao Real Estate is too dark-hearted, right? The starting capital of the entire Weicheng company is only 300 million Hong Kong dollars, right?"
