The richest man

Chapter 117 Interview
Atari's engineers are still very good. Apple founder Steve Jobs seems to have joined Atari in 1974.

What Zhang Jun valued most about Atari was their hardware development capabilities. Atari Game Company was the first company to launch home game consoles.But it's best to buy it, if it can't be bought, then set up a home game console development department by yourself.

Because Atari had no money for research and development, it was too late to develop a home game console. In the end, after selling itself to Warner Bros., it had enough funds to develop a game console, and then became the largest game company in the world at that time.

Now history has changed and Legendary Game Company will take its place!
After eating the boxed lunch, Zhang Jun's physical strength was greatly replenished, and he continued to come to the lobby to receive customers.Although there are not as many people as in the morning, there are still customers coming to inquire about the situation of the arcade.

……

That night, Legendary Game Company was reported by major newspapers and TV stations.

"Legendary singer Zhang Jun stepped into the game industry and became a blockbuster at the Los Angeles Electronics Show!!!"

"Hundreds of thousands of people lined up at the Los Angeles Electronics Show, and the scene was extremely spectacular!"

"Today's Los Angeles Electronics Show, the legendary game company has attracted much attention and won an order worth hundreds of millions of dollars in one fell swoop!"

"..."

According to reports, Legendary Game Company's reputation rose sharply. On the second day, many players and businessmen came here admiringly. The lively scene was even more spectacular than yesterday.

Fortunately, Zhang Jun had expected it and arranged more staff to receive these people.

Orders have been pouring in since morning.

"Boss, looking at the situation, I estimate that the order volume will definitely exceed yesterday!" Shangguan Muye said to Zhang Jun happily, wiping off his sweat.

Zhang Jun nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Well, many people read the newspaper and TV reports yesterday, so they came here today to test whether our arcade is really as fun as the newspapers and TV said. And those The merchants smelled huge business opportunities like sharks bloodthirsty, and rushed over one by one."

Shangguan Muye said sadly: "Boss, if this continues, our order quantity will soon exceed 30, and the factory may not be able to produce..."

Zhang Jun said lightly: "I didn't expect that the order would be so large. We can only relinquish some less important work to other factories for us! At the same time, our own factory must expand in scale! I believe that we The next game will sell even better!"

"Okay, boss!"

Just as Zhang Jun finished the conversation, several reporters came in the hall. The first man held a microphone and said to Zhang Jun, "Hello, Zhang, can I interview you? I'm Charles, a reporter from NBC American Television Network. "

Zhang Jun thought about it, and it would be good for the TV station to do some publicity for himself, so he nodded and agreed, "Okay, let's start, what questions do you want to ask?"

"Mr. Zhang, are you the game designer of the three games "Hong Kong Cubes", "Space Invaders" and "Snake"?"

"Yes, it was all designed by me."

"Oh, Mr. Zhang, you are such a game design genius!"

Zhang Jun said with a faint smile: "I've heard this saying countless times. I'm actually just an ordinary person, but I think more than others."

"Mr. Zhang, can you tell me how many orders Legendary Games has received?"

"Well, yes, there is nothing to hide. So far, Legendary Games has sold a total of 24 arcade machines, with a sales volume of 2.88 million US dollars!!!"

hiss~~
The reporters were all shocked when they heard this.

In just two days, the sales volume has reached 2.88 million US dollars, which is unbelievable!

Zhang Jun replied lightly: "Actually, it's not a big deal. 24 arcade machines include 3 games, and an average of one game only sells 8 arcade machines. The global market is so big, you think 8 arcade machines are enough Does it meet market demand?"

After a pause, Zhang Jun shook his head and said, "It's impossible to be satisfied... So in the future, the orders of Legendary Game Company will increase. As for the increase, I don't know."

The reporters asked again: "Mr. Zhang, is the profit of arcade machines high? Can you disclose a little bit?"

Zhang Jun shook his head: "How can this be disclosed? This is a commercial secret! However, the development cost of arcade machines is quite high, especially the electronic parts and components are very expensive, such as the chips used in the game substrate, a chip costs two hundred U.S. dollars. Although we also make money, but not much!"

Zhang Jun complained, anyway, no one on the other side didn't know the specific cost of the arcade machine.

Most of the spare parts are sourced from RB, which are cheaper than American ones.

Moreover, the labor cost in Hong Kong is also cheap, so the production cost of Legendary Game Company's arcade machines is even cheaper than that of Atari Pong.

The reporters of NBC heard the words and nodded their heads in understanding.

According to their understanding, the chip of Legendary Game Company purchases Intel's Intel 8080, which was released by Intel in April this year, and the official price is 4 US dollars.

This time, the legendary game company's arcade fire has also driven the sales of Intel's 8080 chips to a certain extent.Just at this Electronics Show, the intel 8080 displayed by intel was very popular, and the number of orders surged, which made intel's executives realize the benefits of cooperating with the legendary game company.

"Mr. Zhang, one last question, when will your new album be released?"

"The release of the new album may have to wait until June, and the recorded songs are only halfway through..." Zhang Jun thought for a while and replied, "But during this period, I will release a few English singles one after another!"

The release of singles, on the one hand, is to make the album famous, and on the other hand, the sales of singles are also very profitable.

Sell ​​singles, sell albums, earn double money, why not do it?

Zhang Jun is naturally merciless in cheating Europeans and Americans of their money.

For example, "Beat it" released this time has sold more than 200 million singles and earned Zhang Jun more than 1000 million US dollars!I will release an album in the future, if you don’t believe me, they won’t buy the album...

"Wow, a new album will be released in June! Fans will be ecstatic if they hear the news!" The reporter laughed.

"probably!"

Zhang Jun said with a smile, "This album is all English songs, and the quality is high. Every song is a classic, and it will definitely not disappoint the fans."

Zhang Jun boasted and was not humble at all. His purpose was to let NBC TV station report it, and it would definitely cause quite a stir and discussion at that time.Some people may think that Zhang Jun is grandstanding and talking nonsense, but as long as everyone's attention is drawn to his new album, Zhang Jun's goal will be achieved. After all, he is here to make money from gringos, not to talk about art. ...
