Reborn Xiangjiang as a Tycoon

Chapter 65 Game Console

If he wanted to go to the United States to trade gold futures, Lin Baicheng would definitely bring traders there. He thought about it and decided to take Anyuan and others with him. Anyway, Lin Baicheng was long in gold futures trading. He would just leave it alone after buying it.

As a band, there is no need for Anyuan and others to stay in the United States all the time.

But before Lin Baicheng could take Anyuan and others to the United States, the long-awaited Junpei Yokoi finally came to Xiangjiang from RB.

Yokoi Junpei has resigned from Nintendo, and at Lin Baicheng's request, he recruited some hardware research and development talents to assist him in hardware research and development.

Lin Baicheng personally went to the airport to pick up Junpei Yokoi and others, and asked them to have a good rest that day before taking them to the Galaxy Games factory the next day.

Among these people, Lin Baicheng valued Yokoi Junpei the most, so he brought Yokoi Junpei to the office alone to talk.

"Yokoi, look at this."

Lin Baicheng took out a set of equipment and showed it to Junpei Yokoi.

"This is Atari VCS!"

Yokoi Junpei recognized the equipment Lin Baicheng took out at a glance.

"Oh? You know?"

Lin Baicheng was a little surprised. Atari only started selling this set of equipment in October. Could it be that Atari has already opened up RB channels?

"Yes, President."

Yokoi Junpei nodded and said: "After President Yamauchi came back from the United States last month, he brought this device back and said it was the latest video game console developed by the American Atari Game Company. President Yamauchi asked us to learn

With the above technology, I would like to know how long it will take Nintendo to develop similar devices and how much money it will cost.”

"So how much time and money will it take for Nintendo to develop a similar device?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but secretly sigh. As expected of Yamauchiura, he had set his sights on the console market early on.

Yokoi Junpei said: "It will take about one to three years. The specific time depends on the amount of funds invested. The more funds invested, the shorter the time required."

"It seems that our company will have an additional rival."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but be a little confused after hearing this. He was very clear about the specific time when the Famicom appeared. Nintendo launched the Famicom in 1983. Even based on the development time of about three years at the latest, Yamauchiura is interested in developing it now.

Similar host equipment should be launched on the market around 1980.

After hearing this, Yokoi Junpei couldn't help but asked: "President, do you also want to develop this kind of equipment?"

"You are right, I want to develop similar equipment."

Junpei Yokoi has joined the company, and of course Lin Baicheng will no longer hide it from him, saying: "But what I want you to do, Yokoi, is not to imitate the Atari VCS device. I am not satisfied with the configuration of this device. I need

You develop similar devices that are better than this one."

"Whether it is the CPU or memory and other hardware, they are all too poor. The picture looks a bit blurry, and the game scene gives people a sense of depression. It is really terrible."

"I admit that this is a classic device, but the hardware used by Atari is too poor. We need to use better hardware to develop a better console, and coupled with the popular games developed by our company, it will definitely be a big success.

Kill everyone."

"President, your views are almost the same as President Yamauchi's. You guys really have the same views."

Yokoi Junpei was very surprised when he heard this, because before he left Nintendo, Yamauchi Uraya said almost the same thing.

"Is that so? It seems that I have to treat Nintendo as an opponent with caution."

Lin Baicheng was a little surprised. He was from a later generation, so he was dissatisfied with the poor performance of the Atari VCS device. He didn't expect that Yamauchi Ura also wanted to make a better device. But that's right, the Famicom should be in this situation.

It seems that even if Junpei Yokoi and So Miyamoto are recruited, Nintendo cannot be negligent.

"President, Nintendo will not become our rival for the time being."

Yokoi Junpei said: "Before I left, President Yamauchi roughly calculated the funds needed for research and development equipment and found that it would cost at least 10 billion yen. However, Nintendo currently does not have that much money, so the research and development plan can only be temporary.

Stranded. As for when it will be developed, it depends on Nintendo's profitability in the next few years. Furthermore, such a major research and development still needs the approval of the board of directors, and it will take time for President Yamauchi to convince the board of directors."

"Is that so? That's really good news!"

Although he is not afraid of Nintendo, Lin Baicheng certainly has reasons to be happy because he has one less competitor.

"Yokoi, I must develop this equipment, so you don't need to worry about funding. As for R&D talents, as long as you need them, make a list for me and I will have people dig them out.

, let them assist you in developing equipment."

"Yes, President."

Yokoi Junpei responded, and then said: "President, our company did not have a hardware R&D department before, and everything had to be started from scratch. So not only talents, but also the equipment needed for R&D must be purchased. The initial funds spent may not be enough."

It will be less."

"Buy! As long as it's what you need, buy it!"

Lin Baicheng said in a deep voice that as long as he could afford it, he would buy it. No one knows better than him how huge the future console market will be. Today's investment is all for future gains.

"I won't let you down, President!"

Yokoi Junpei said excitedly that the massive financial support from Galaxy Games and the fact that he leads the research and development of the hardware are the fundamental reasons why Yokoi Junpei is willing to leave Nintendo and come to Galaxy Games. Now it seems that his choice was not wrong.

"Let's work together, Yokoi."

Lin Baicheng walked over and patted Yokoi Junhei on the shoulder. He believed that with him as a reborn person, the future development of Galaxy Games would definitely not be worse than Nintendo in the previous life, and would even develop better. If even this can be done

If not, then Lin Baicheng will be a failure.

"Yes, President!"

Yokoi Junpei agreed, he also hopes that Galaxy Games will develop better, even better than Nintendo. Only in this way can he prove that his choice is not wrong.

Afterwards, Lin Baicheng took Yokoi Junpei to get to know some of the top executives of Galaxy Games, mainly Liu Yihui, his sister Lin Shufang and others.

However, unlike the vast majority of intellectuals in Hong Kong who can speak English, only a small number of people majoring in translation can speak Japanese. Therefore, it is not that convenient for Yokoi Junpei, Miyamoto So and others to communicate with the management of Galaxy Games. Lin Baicheng specializes in

For this purpose, we hired a Japanese translator in the company.

Xiangjiang is now a British colony, and English is required to be learned in middle school, so anyone who graduates from middle school will know some English. Without English, it is almost impossible to become a manager of a large company in Xiangjiang in this era.
