Reborn Tycoon Rise

January 3, 1978

"Dazhi, give me some more game coins!" Xu Yaxin shouted regardless of the occasion while playing the arcade machine in front of her.

"Are you just considering the occasion? You want to call me brother," Xu Zhi responded with a dark face.

Regardless of anything else, Xu Yaxin shouted: "The speed is too fast now, I can't play anymore."

"Ah, hung up..."

Xu Zhi walked over directly and turned off the power.

Xu Yaxin asked anxiously: "What are you doing?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "You have been playing for more than 2 hours. Take a break. You are not allowed to play anymore today."

Of course Xu Yaxin disagreed and said: "This is so fun, let me play for a while?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "It is easy to herniate the disc in the waist after sitting for a long time, and it is easy to be myopic after watching for a long time. You should play again tomorrow. How about it? Is there anything you feel uncomfortable about?"

Xu Yaxin thought for a while and said: "Every time I die, I have to start over again. It's so tiring!"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "That's a good question. Okay, that's it for today. Our arcade machine will be released soon, and you can see it in many places in the future."

At this time, arcade games are still in their infancy. They are not yet a mainstream industry in Europe and the United States, let alone cities like Xiangjiang. There are no dedicated game arcades at all. Even if Xu Zhi invests, there are too few varieties of arcade machines to succeed. climate.

Xu Yaxin asked: "When will it be officially released? Can you give me one as a gift?"

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "We will not launch it in Xiangjiang. The ex-factory price of this machine is US$1,800. Do you have the money?"

Xu Yaxin was surprised: "So expensive?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Of course, this is a high-tech product."

In fact, the main cost of an arcade machine is the monitor and motherboard. Now because trial production has just begun, the monitor is purchased directly from the NEC dealer in Xiangjiang. Since there is no motherboard factory in Xiangjiang, the motherboards are all manually welded, resulting in a high scrap rate. Moreover, every motherboard has to go through a lot of testing, and manual labor is nothing. The key is low efficiency, which also drags down production.

Xu Yaxin asked: "If you don't start in Xiangjiang, then where are you going?"

Xu Zhidao: "America."

Xu Yaxin said: "Then are you going to the United States?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "No rush, I still have some things to do here, and it may not be until February or March."

Judging from the current per capita monthly income of two to three hundred yuan in Xiangjiang, it is difficult to attract some merchants to buy arcade machines with a price exceeding 10,000, even in some large supermarkets and shopping malls. More importantly, going to the United States is not just for the market, but also for the market. The important thing is that the arcade machine must find a motherboard factory for mass production.

Currently, RB and the United States have relatively mature technologies, but RB is a company that exists in the form of a consortium. It basically produces its own products in its own factories and is rarely willing to OEM other brands. The U.S. side is much better. Now that RB's semiconductor industry is on the rise, U.S. companies have suffered massive losses due to price wars. In a few years, bankruptcies abound.

Although the price in the United States will be expensive, the advantage is stability. Xu Zhi is even more afraid that these RB consortiums will disclose their motherboards to those RB game companies. If they copy it, such a lawsuit will not be filed in a few years. Maybe it will be over by then.

The United States is much better. Nowadays, except for Atari, there are no powerful game companies at all, and Atari is now transforming into a home game console.

Relatively speaking, as long as it does not involve national security, it is generally not unfair for foreign-funded companies to file lawsuits against local companies in the United States.

Although the game has matured, funds are tight nowadays and there is no way to negotiate cooperation with motherboard factories. Although the sales volume of the claw machine is good, the price war has started, and the profit is not too high. The only thing that can be counted on is Wharf stock.

It has been almost a month since Comrade Lao Li acquired Wharf stocks. No matter how skilled his team is, they have acquired 10% of the stocks in the stock market within a month. The stock price has already soared, reaching 25 Hong Kong dollars. The market It is already known that big crocodiles have entered the market, and more funds have been invested to join this feast of sea and sky.

Fortunately, Wharf is already a century-old company, and its stocks have already been dispersed. Otherwise, if it were a new company, this kind of acquisition would have cleared up the floating stocks in the secondary market, and the stock price would have risen even more.

Goldman Sachs called almost every day and asked if they wanted to sell their stocks, but Xu Zhi refused.

In history, the highest point of Wharf stock reached HK$46 before Lao Li stopped buying. Although history is different now, Comrade Li used the actual value of Wharf to determine what price was suitable for acquisition. The value of Wharf should exceed HK$5 billion. He will not stop until this point.

Asking for recommendation votes, actually, I don’t know why, but everyone wants it, so I want it too.
