Through the wealth life

Chapter 90 Super Mario

On May 5, Li Guangyu returned to Xiangjiang. This year Li Guangyu has no plan to leave Xiangjiang.Next, Li Guangyu will be busy with his own marriage, and Li Ka-shing's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa.

In the morning of the next day, Li Guangyu came to the International Building Xingyu Group to learn about the company's situation during this period.

Li Guangyu was very satisfied after listening to the reports from various departments of the company during the meeting.In the past five months, Xingyu Group's total profit has exceeded 13 billion Hong Kong dollars. At the same time, the company is developing the home game console and PC version in an orderly manner.

After the meeting, Li Guangyu came to Li Xuemei's office and said to her: "Xuemei, the game group has developed very well under your leadership. I am very relieved that the group has your leadership."

Li Xuemei was not proud of this, because last year Xingyu Group was the most profitable existence under the Li Group.In the past five months, Xiangyu Group has earned more than 17 billion Hong Kong dollars relying on the best-selling toys.

Li Xuemei also found that Xingyu Group's current products are too single, mainly on arcade machines.I only hope that the company can develop home game consoles as soon as possible, so as to increase the group's new profit points, and then compete with Xiangyu Group.

"Li Sheng, I will urge the R&D department to complete the development of home game consoles as soon as possible, and open up the market in this area as soon as possible." Li Xuemei said.

Li Guangyu is also more concerned about this, because since the 80s, arcade machines will gradually decline, while the market for home game consoles will become prosperous.The reason why Li Guangyu did not agree to cooperate with Nintendo was because he was unwilling to give up the home game console market.

Li Guangyu said: "There are enough funds in the group account now, and I have no new expansion plan at present. If you increase the capital investment in this area, you can also let the RB branch dig talents and ensure our group's number one position." the quality of the product,”

Li Xuemei heard that Li Guangyu would no longer withdraw funds from the group's account, so she was more confident in the group's development.Since he became the management of the company, Li Guangyu has continuously transferred funds from the group account to expand other industries.It was like this in Xiangyu Group before, and it is also like this in Xingyu Group now.

Although the two groups made money, there was not much money in the group, so Li Guangyu was transferred away. In many cases, the development had to be carefully calculated.

"Don't worry, Li Sheng, I will increase my investment in this area, and I will contact Ms. Qin Jiao to ask her to help us find talents in this area in RB, and ask the Fujiwara family for help when necessary." Li Xuemei said.

Seeing that Li Xuemei paid enough attention to this, Li Guangyu asked about game development.

"Xuemei, how is Mr. Shigeru Yamamoto's game development going?"

Seeing Li Guangyu asking about the game development company, Li Xuemei replied: "Manager Shigeru Yamamoto's Donkey Kong 2 has been completed, and we will launch it in the United States this month."

Li Guangyu was also very happy to hear that Donkey Kong 2 will be on sale soon, after all this is also an additional product for the company.But he is most concerned about the progress of Super Mario developed by Shigeru Yamamoto. After all, this is a gold-absorbing machine.

Li Guangyu asked: "How is Mr. Shigeru Yamamoto's research and development of Super Mario going?"

"Li Sheng, regarding the research and development of Super Mario, Manager Shigeru Yamamoto's team is currently developing it. Manager Shigeru Yamamoto expects to complete the development of this game by the end of this year." Li Xuemei said.

Li Guangyu is very satisfied with this progress. Although he has some suggestions from Li Guangyu, it still takes a lot of time to develop a product. Some games need to be developed for several years. Shigeru Yamamoto's speed is considered fast. .

Li Guangyu asked, "Aside from Super Mario, Xuemei's company is currently developing other games?"

"Li Sheng, in addition to the team led by Manager Shigeru Yamamoto who is developing Super Mario, we have two other teams developing new games. One is the Twelve Street Fighter you mentioned, and the other is developing Pac-Man. people game."

Li Guangyu is clear about Street Fighter, but he is not very clear about Pac-Man.

"Xuemei, who proposed the Pac-Man game?" Li Guangyu asked.

"Li Sheng, the person who proposed the Pac-Man game was recruited by our company from RB Namco Game Company this year. Some of his game ideas were not recognized by Namco, so he came to our company." Li Xuemei Said.

Li Guangyu didn't know how this game was. He had never played this game when he was a child in his previous life.

Li Guangyu asked: "Then how does he position this game?"

Li Xuemei replied: "Mr. Toru Iwatani positioned this game as a product mainly played by women."

Regarding this positioning, Li Guangyu doesn’t know whether the product is good or bad. He can only develop it to see. If the product development is not successful, he can only consider himself unlucky. At present, the company’s failure in a game will not affect the company’s future. develop.

Li Guangyu then asked about Xingyu Printed Circuit Board Company.

"Li Sheng, at present, the printed circuit boards produced by our company are only used by our own group. Due to management and employee production reasons, our company's pass rate has not been ideal, resulting in high costs. RB imports are slightly higher." Li Xuemei said.

"About this issue, I am also clear. When I was at RB, I also talked about this issue with Mr. Yamada Hara, the president of Seiko Epson. After I communicated with President Yamada, we will send A part of the company’s middle management can learn from Seiko Epson, and they will also send experts to our company for guidance.” Li Guangyu said.

Li Xuemei was also relieved to hear what Li Guangyu said. With so many companies in Li Sheng, Xingyu Printed Circuit Board Company was holding back. If it weren't for the support of the group, this company would not be able to develop at all.

"I will pass your news to the company. During this month, our group will conduct an assessment on the middle management of the printed circuit board company. Next month, we will send outstanding personnel to RB to study. At the same time, make some preparations for the experts sent by Seiko Epson Try to ensure that the price of the company's products is lower than our imports from RB with the same quality by the end of this year." Li Xuemei replied.

Li Guangyu knew that there was no rush for this matter. Heung Kong is still far away from RB in terms of electronics, and the employees don't know much about this aspect. Due to the environment, it won't be able to compete with RB in a short while.

"Do you want to put too much pressure on the company and let them study hard? We will always catch up." Li Guangyu said.

Li Xuemei replied: "I know, Li Sheng."

At noon, Li Guangyu went to the nearby restaurant for lunch together with the executives of Xingyu Group.This was also the first time that Li Guangyu dined with these high-level officials again after a few months.
