Video Game Empire

Li Xuan registered a company after confirming the cooperation matters with Brother Qiang. Registering a company in Hong Kong is very simple, you only need to pay a few hundred yuan business registration fee, and you can receive a business license every two weeks.

The founder of the company, Li Xuan did not fill in his name, but wrote Li Ke. It is an illegal infringement to crack a Japanese game to make a pirated version, although the patent protection in Hong Kong in the 1980s was not as strict as that of later generations.

But Li Xuan will never leave a stain on himself. Because the current approach is only an expedient measure, he has countless classic games in his mind, and he must make originals after accumulating a certain amount of capital. Compared with the little market like Hong Kong, Japan and North America are the vast oceans he wants to soar in the future.

In his grand plan, arcade games are only the first step in his career. With the continuous development of computer technology, arcade games are still surviving in the Japanese market after 30 years, and the United States has long been replaced by computer games. In his plan, he will not only be a game tycoon, but also a computer tycoon and a semiconductor tycoon. Giants like Apple, IBM, and Intel are his future rivals.

Since the name of the company's boss is Li Ke's name, Li Xuan also followed the flow and became the shopkeeper. He only focused on game cracking. As for the company's preparations, he threw all his brains to his eldest brother.

Li Ke was very worried at the beginning, let him drink, fight, take care of girls, and let him start a company as the boss is really a big **** the sedan chair. Li Xuan came to make up his mind.

After two or three times, Li Xuan finally got bored. He had never started his own business before, and his experience in this area was not much more than that of his elder brother. So when Li Ke came to discuss with him, he was scolded by him. Who didn't have the first time, Huo Ying-Dong Huosheng was born as a coal burner, and he became a billionaire differently.

After being scolded by his younger brother, Li Ke could only bite the bullet. Human potential is infinite, the more you squeeze, the more energy you can burst out. Although Li Ke is not as good as his younger brother in reading, he is not an idiot. He used to be self-indulgent because he could not see the goal of life.

On the contrary, compared to Li Xuan, who was a Silicon Valley gold-collar in his previous life who was engaged in technology, and who is a good boy who devotes himself to studying in this life, Li Ke has a better understanding of this society, and he can go all the way.

Who would have thought that a rotten boy on the fringes of society could set up the framework of a small factory in less than a month. Run the Industrial Building to rent the factory, recruit employees, and order raw materials. According to the list listed by Li Xuan, all the work will be ready by the end of August. Li Xuan couldn't help but admire his eldest brother. He believed that if this matter was left to him, he would definitely not be able to do it to such an extent.

On a sunny day at the end of August, a small factory named Ke Kee Electronic Manufacturing Company officially started construction on the fifth floor of Mei Hing Industrial Building, Kwun Tong Industrial Zone, Kowloon. The groundbreaking ceremony was not grand, but two strings of 50,000 firecrackers were lit downstairs in the building, and several pairs of flower baskets were placed at the entrance of the factory on the fifth floor.

There are not many employees in the electronics factory, less than 30 people, half of which are ordinary young workers, responsible for labor such as assembling machine frames. The remaining half are skilled workers dug by Li Ke from other electronics factories at high prices under the guidance of his younger brother, who are specially responsible for technical tasks such as soldering chips. Ordinary people can't get it right without learning it for a month. A little carelessness during soldering may damage the chip or circuit board, and the loss will be huge.

There is also a guy named Du Wenqiang, a technician specially hired by Li Xuan. He is the cousin of Liu Heshen, the owner of an electronics store that Li Xuan knew before, and he just graduated from the Hong Kong Polytechnic this year.

Li Xuan bought the second-hand Z80 card from him. In the days when personal computers were not yet popular, the people who played with computers were enthusiasts who liked electronics themselves, or technicians who were engaged in this field.

And Du Wenqiang belongs to the former, he majored in law at the Polytechnic Institute. The Hong Kong Polytechnic is only a post-secondary institution and can only issue Higher Honours Diplomas. When Du Wenqiang graduated, he just went to a law firm to do odd jobs. There are more famous barristers in Hong Kong. Nine out of ten are from Hong Kong University, and the remaining one is also from CUHK.

Li Xuan is also not optimistic that he can become a great lawyer in the future. Compared to Fa Ge's Xu Wenqiang, this Du Wenqiang is not at all handsome. He is not tall and has a big belly, but he has a pair of small eyes narrowed into a slit. He smiles as obscenely as possible. If he stands up to the law to defend, how can he make the judge and the jury? The regiment believes that you are a person who represents justice.

Du Wenqiang, who studied liberal arts, is very good at computer technology. His father was a mechanic in a toy factory.

When Du Wenqiang grew up, he got tired of playing with low-end toys such as frogs with winding clocks, and began to assemble radios by himself, and he became fascinated by electronics. Li Xuan just couldn't figure out why he chose a law major.

For those large arcade games in later generations, due to some data loss and other problems after being cracked, there will often be some lags when running. Many game makers also enter suicide programs in order to prevent pirated copies, and they need to be very careful when cracking, and require a high level of technology.

But the current arcade games are relatively simple, and the manufacturers have not started to be troubled by piracy. Li Xuan is very easy to crack. It only took him half a month to copy the three most popular arcade games, "Space Invaders", "Asteroid" and "Little Bee".

In the previous life, Li Xuan was able to catch up with the last glimmer of the glorious era of domestic arcade machines when he was in elementary school. At that time, Internet cafes had just appeared, and the Internet access fee was very expensive. In contrast, the game arcade with one dollar and two coins was more popular. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Because Li Xuan is an orphan, he doesn't have to worry about being spanked by his parents when he goes to the game hall like other peers. But also because they are orphans, other children can save pocket money to buy game coins, and he can only stand by and watch the fun.

When he was in junior high school, the Internet cafe frenzy brought by the grand "Legend" had already swept the north and south, and the game halls began to slowly disappear in the city. Bo Ji lingered.

Perhaps because of the resentment that he didn't have the opportunity to play when he was a child, Li Xuan even wrote an arcade simulator by himself after he went to college to play all the classic arcade games. Some games are too difficult, and he may not be able to clear the level even if he has a strategy, so he simply modified the game settings to give himself a golden finger, and made various bugs such as infinite lives and immortality to break the balance.

Later, Li Xuan went to study in the United States. Berkeley, the university where he studied for a master's degree, and Stanford, both in the San Francisco Bay Area, are known as the two most famous comprehensive universities on the west coast of the United States. But unlike Stanford, which is rich in CEOs and entrepreneurial heroes, Berkeley is rich in all kinds of technical geniuses and geeks.

Li Xuan's roommate is also a video game enthusiast. When Li Xuan and the two of them were studying, they used the motherboard of a Nintendo FC home game console as the substrate, and bought various parts such as wooden boards and monitors by themselves. Made a bar arcade machine in the time of day.

Anyone who has played video game consoles must know that ordinary arcade machines are as tall as one person and very bulky, but the bar arcade machine they made is only half a meter high and uses a 14-inch TV monitor that can be placed on a writing table. Play, very easy.
