Through the wealth life

Chapter 171 Super Mario goes public

After the Spring Festival, Xingyu Group made a good start for Li's Group. The long-prepared Super Mario developed by Shigeru Yamamoto officially went on sale at the end of February.

Due to the high popularity of Xingyu Electronic Game Group in various regions and the fact that this game is indeed a classic, Super Mario was welcomed by dealers all over the world as soon as it came out.

On February 2th, after breakfast, Li Guangyu came to the headquarters of Xingyu Group located in the International Building.

Li Guangyu was very happy after hearing the sales situation of Super Mario from Wang Xinyu, the vice president. More than [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

The game industry deserves to be a money-absorbing industry. No matter today's arcade machines, or the soon-to-be brilliant home game consoles, or even later computer online games and mobile games, they are all money printing machines.If you think about the Penguin Group in later generations, you will know that this industry has made more money.

Li Guangyu said to Wang Xinyu: "Our sales department will explore more new markets and strive to raise our sales to a higher level."

"Li Sheng, don't worry, our group has already made corresponding arrangements, and we are already developing the Canadian market." Wang Xinyu said.

Li Guangyu then said to Li Xuemei: "Xuemei, the sale of our Super Mario game card has been delayed for three months, so as not to affect our arcade sales."

Li Xuemei also knows that the premature sales of game cards will definitely affect the sales of arcade machines, so she has already thought about it.

Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, we plan to consider selling game cards when the sales potential of Super Mario in arcades is almost exhausted. We estimate that this time will be three to six months."

Li Guangyu also has no objection to this, it would be better later, so as to get more sales in the arcade.

Li Guangyu said: "As for the specific sales of the game, you make arrangements according to the actual situation."

Li Guangyu then asked Shigeru Yamamoto: "Mr. Yamamoto, thank you for your contribution to the development of the company. In addition to the bonus given to your development team by the group, I am giving out a reward of 200 million Hong Kong dollars."

Shigeru Yamamoto said happily: "Thank you Li Sheng, it is mainly because of your idea that we developed this game, and we dare not take credit for it."

It was Li Guangyu who really didn't dare to take credit for it. This was Shigeru Yamamoto's idea originally, but in this life Li Guangyu took it out ahead of time for Shigeru Yamamoto to develop. He just stole something from Shigeru Yamamoto.Besides, Li Guangyu only mentioned it. The specific development was done by Shigeru Yamamoto, and Li Guangyu couldn't develop this game himself.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Yamamoto, you don't need to be modest, your contributions are remembered by our senior management, and I hope you will continue to lead the game development company well and provide our group with more high-quality game products."

Shigeru Yamamoto said: "Li Sheng, we will work hard to provide the group with excellent games so as to live up to the group's trust in us."

Shigeru Yamamoto is very happy working in Xingyu Group, and he is very grateful to Li Guangyu for his attention.The year before last, he was just a small employee who was not valued in the Nintendo company. He became the general manager of the company and the director of the group within less than two years after he came to Xingyu Group. This was something he had never dared to think about before.

Li Guangyu asked Shigeru Yamamoto: "Mr. Yamamoto, what kind of game projects does the game company currently have?"

"Li Sheng, Mr. Toru Iwatani is currently developing a game called "Geometry", which is similar to the Pac-Man type he developed. I have some ideas for the next game now, and it will take some time. Mr. Ren Yugang has already invested in the development of Street Fighter II." Shigeru Yamamoto replied.

Li Guangyu said to him: "Don't worry, our company has a lot of popular games now, we have enough time, the quality of the games is the most important thing."

"Li Sheng, rest assured, we will strive to complete the development of the game as soon as possible while ensuring the quality." Shigeru Yamamoto said.

After the meeting, Li Guangyu stayed with Li Xuemei and discussed with her some plans for the group this year.

Li Guangyu said: "Xuemei, this year we are at the Japanese company. We need to contact more game development companies and try to get them to transfer the copyrights of the games they develop to us. We still have too few games on home consoles."

Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, I have already explained this to Wang Liwen, the general manager of the Japanese branch. He will focus on this matter this year."

Li Guangyu still had some understanding of Wang Liwen, and he was quite capable. Xingyu Group's sales of home game consoles had achieved great success in Japan, which had a lot to do with Wang Liwen's work.

Li Guangyu said: "In this way, I can rest assured that your main work this year is still in the field of home game consoles. Our design needs to be continuously improved. Otherwise, after the products of other game companies come out, we will have no way to fight back." means."

"Alright Mr. Li, I will arrange this matter." Li Xuemei said.

Li Guangyu said: "There is another important thing this year. Our current arcade chips still need to be imported from Seiko Epson. In this regard, I plan to do it ourselves. You send people to negotiate with Texas Instruments in the United States to purchase their chips. The technology we use in arcades today. They’ve got new technology today, it’s outdated, and I think they’re willing to sell it.”

Of course Li Guangyu also wanted to acquire the latest technology, but unfortunately he knew that this was impossible, so he had to arrange for Li Xuemei to negotiate the acquisition of a relatively backward technology.As long as there is this foundation, Li Guangyu pours funds into it and borrows talents from Baodao, Li Guangyu believes that it can still develop.

The semiconductor company that Li Guangyu plans to establish is located in the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, where there are still many talents.Semiconductor companies such as TSMC in later generations developed here. Li Guangyu now has more advantages than them and has more abundant funds. He still doesn't believe that he can't develop.

Li Xuemei said: "Okay, Mr. Li, I will contact the American branch and Texas Instruments first. After I have the willingness, I will go to the United States to discuss with Texas Instruments in person, and try to get a series of chip technologies related to arcades as soon as possible. "

The main reason is that the technical content of this thing is a bit high. Li Guangyu can't play with it himself, so he can only buy some technologies, such as various processors.The reason why Li Guangyu set up this company in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park instead of Xiangjiang is mainly because Xiangjiang does not have many talents in this field. Li Guangyu wants the company to develop well, and now only Baodao is more suitable.

Li Guangyu said: "Yuemei, don't worry. We have more time. We can buy it within this year. The Hsinchu Science and Technology Park has not yet been completed. I plan to establish a company after it is completed there."

Li Xuemei said: "Sheng Li, isn't that a bit late? After the completion of the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park and our company, I'm afraid it won't be until the second half of next year."

"It doesn't matter if you are late, so you have more time to negotiate with Texas Instruments, and you can also contact other semiconductor companies." Li Guangyu said.

"Alright, Mr. Li, I will ask the US to investigate more semiconductor companies for reference."
