The richest man

Chapter 161: Exposing the Muzzle and Looking for Death

There are more girls than boys who buy electronic pets, so electronic pets are available in a variety of colors to choose from.

Zhang Jun casually held a silver-white egg-shaped electronic pet machine in his hand and looked at it carefully.

The electronic pet machine is small and exquisite, very cute, and people can't put it down.

There is a small screen in the middle, and there are four buttons below the screen, which are reset, select, confirm, and cancel from left to right.

Zhang Jun turned on the power button, and the black and white LCD screen lit up quickly, and an egg on the verge of breaking appeared, asking "whether to hatch immediately".

Zhang Jun chooses "OK".

Then, a very cute Chinese pastoral dog broke out of its shell.

Don't ask why the puppy jumped out of the egg.

Asking is a game...

Of course, although the electronic pet machine only has cats, dogs, and chickens, the breeds will be subdivided. Bear Dogs, Corgis, etc...

There is no doubt that this is the method of misappropriating money by unscrupulous merchants!
You may like several kinds of kittens and puppies, so I asked you if you bought them all?
Zhang Jun played for a while, feeding, watering, and snacks, increasing the dog's happiness index, training the dog, exercising to prevent disease, bathing the dog, and cleaning up the dog's poop in time...

Since it is the first generation of electronic pets, the functions are still relatively small, but even so, it is quite interesting.

Zhang Jun put the silver-white pet egg in his pocket, and took it out to play with when he was free.

"It's very fun, very good. But the function is quite simple. When the second generation of electronic pets is released in the future, some functions must be added, such as letting the pet work to earn money, and go to the store to buy food or buy toys."

Zhang Jun frowned slightly when he said this.

If the electronic pet machine cannot connect with friends, players will soon get tired of it.

The electronic pet machine uses infrared rays to meet and make friends.

However, infrared communication technology is not yet mature enough.

Zhang Jun couldn't help thinking, and after a while, he secretly thought, it seems that he can only invest in this infrared communication technology by himself to speed up the development of this technology!

The TV remote control uses infrared technology. What Legendary Game Company needs to do is to develop this technology more maturely so that it can be applied to electronic pet machines.

Immediately, Zhang Jun ordered Shangguan Muye, and said: "Using infrared technology can realize the connection and making friends between electronic pet machines, so you can collect information related to infrared technology later, and it is best to buy a company that specializes in infrared technology." enterprise."

"Well, yes!" Shangguan Muye nodded immediately when he heard the words. He couldn't help but think in his mind that if the two electronic pet machines can interact and play together, then the gameplay of this electronic pet machine will become more diverse and the users will be more sticky. It will be greatly improved, and the pet eggs must not be sold out! ! !
At this moment, Shangguan Muye was excited and couldn't wait to apply infrared technology to the company's electronic pet machine.

Seeing the excitement on Shangguan Makino's face, Zhang Jun couldn't help but smile a little. This is actually nothing. "Pokémon Pokemon" is the real powerful thing. The fictional creatures in it, such as Pikachu, Koga Ninja, Mimi Qiu, Charizard, etc., are all super IPs!
In terms of what ip can kittens and puppies have.

Legendary Game Company is currently developing handhelds, and is planning to transplant "Hong Kong Cubes", "Snake", "Space Lighter", and "Pac-Man" to handhelds.

Zhang Jun not only plans to develop the "Pokémon Pokemon" handheld game, but also plans to transplant it to the electronic pet machine.

Although the electronic pet machine is limited by the hardware, there are relatively few ways to play it, but it will still be highly sought after by fans.

In the previous life, the company that developed the electronic pet machine "Tamako" was not Nintendo, otherwise, the sales of "Tamako" would definitely be even more terrifying!
But I, the wish of Pikachu appearing on the electronic pet machine can be realized~
The corners of Zhang Jun's mouth turned upwards, and he laughed. He was full of joy and excitement. He was going to spend a few nights writing out the animation script and gameplay of "Pokémon".

Less interest.

Zhang Jun moved his buttocks, sat on the sofa, and then casually asked Shangguan Muye: "So far, electronic pets have started to be stocked, how many are there?"

"There are about 45 units... The main reason is that the Dapu chip factory has just started production, the proficiency is not high, the production capacity is less than expected, and the yield rate is relatively low." Shangguan Muye explained.

Zhang Jun shook his head, frowned and said: "Tell MOS Technology Company to find ways to increase production capacity and yield rate. Electronic pet machines must have at least 500 million units in reserve before they can start selling!!"

Legendary Game Company is a global game giant with a wide range of channels. Once the products are launched, they will soon be popular all over the world!

It's only 500 million, and it's hard to say whether it can last for two months.

What's more, Zhang Jun is still an unscrupulous capitalist, and he has made many breeds and colors of a puppy.The number of breeds of cats, dogs and chickens X the number of colors = a complete set of electronic pet machines.

"Okay, boss, how is the price of this electronic pet machine?"

"How much does it cost to produce?"

Zhang Ju didn't ask about the R&D cost, because the R&D cost is really cheap, and the technical content of the electronic pet machine is very low.

"The current production cost is about US$5 per set," Shangguan Muye said. "Because the quantity to be produced is relatively large, we have built a new factory and recruited more than 500 workers. The proficiency of the workers is not high, etc. After the proficiency of the workers increases, the cost will be reduced by 1 to 2 dollars!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jun was quite satisfied.

After thinking about it, he said, "The wholesale price is set at US$35, and the retail price is set at US$50, leaving enough profit for the distributors."

Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea are all developed countries with many rich people. Although $50 is a bit expensive, it is not unaffordable.Many children can buy an electronic pet machine by saving some pocket money.

Of course, developing countries are relatively poor. In order to open up the market, Zhang Jun thought about it and decided to lower the price a little. The retail price is about 100 Hong Kong dollars.

In this day and age, there is less entertainment.

The electronic pet machine must be more popular than the previous life!
……

……

In the next few nights, Zhang Jun was writing "Pokémon".

A week later, Zhang Jun called the heads of Legendary Comics, DreamWorks, Legendary Toys, and Legendary Games to his big office.

"It's still the same as before. Now I'm planning a new game and animation, and I think it will be a big hit! You companies need to work closely together to maximize its potential!!!"

As he spoke, Zhang Jun asked his secretary to distribute the manuscript he had written.

For a while, the office was extremely quiet, only the sound of flipping books could be heard.

Zhang Jun was not idle either, and began to think about how to promote "Pokémon".

Do you want to make an animated film in addition to shooting cartoons?
Cartoons don’t actually make much money, they mainly sell toys.

However, if it is made into an animated film and the box office results are good, it can still make a lot of money, and it will also greatly promote the peripheral income of the film!

Zhang Jun thought over and over again, and couldn't help but glance at Liu Zhan, the general manager of DreamWorks.

Right now, DreamWorks has a lot of business, mainly animations based on various comics, as well as the "Pac-Man" animated film.

It's a little short on staff.

However, the IP of "Pokémon" is more important than "Pac-Man".

We must take advantage of the popularity of games and cartoons to launch animated movies, so as to maximize the benefits!

Ten minutes later.

Several people put down their manuscripts one after another, with expressions of thought on their faces. The planning of this new game and animation is indeed very interesting, but how to do it depends on them. Zhang Jun only wrote an outline, and many details need to be worked out by themselves. filling.

At this time, Zhang Jun first asked Liu Zhan: "Mr. Liu, if I want DreamWorks to produce "Pokémon" cartoons and animated films, will DreamWorks have enough manpower?"

Liu Zhan frowned, shook his head and said, "Because DreamWorks has many projects and heavy tasks, if we want to produce cartoons and animated films at the same time, there will be a serious shortage of manpower!"

After a pause, Liu Zhan continued, "It is difficult to find excellent painters in Hong Kong, but Japan has many excellent animation talents. We can ask Dreamworks Japan to publish job advertisements in newspapers, or find headhunters. Poaching people... In this way, the problem of shortage of manpower can be solved!"

For a long time, Zhang Jun has paid more attention to the cultivation of local talents in Hong Kong, but due to the rapid development, DreamWorks Hong Kong has been too busy.

Zhang Jun sighed, he had no choice but to recruit people from Japan.

Labor in Japan is cheaper than in the United States, and the level of painters is also very good.

Zhang Jundao: "Okay, then recruit people from Japan! You will assign some business to the Japanese branch to do it. Currently, it is mainly responsible for "Pokémon" cartoons and cartoon movies!!!"

"Okay, boss!" Liu Zhan nodded.

Then, Zhang Jun asked about everyone's views on "Pokémon", and discussed the story and the gameplay of the game.

Before I knew it, the morning passed.

Zhang Jun looked at the time and announced the end of the meeting.

In the next month or so.

The script of "Pokémon" was polished successfully.

Then based on this script, DreamWorks started making cartoons and animated films.

Legendary Comics also started producing comics.

Legendary Game Company started to develop the handheld "Pokémon", and later transplanting it to the electronic pet machine is relatively simple and does not take long, so there is no need to form a dedicated development team now.

Since Zhang Jun "disappeared", the outside media felt that there had been no more sensational headlines for a long time.

When Zhang Jun is not around, I miss him!

The media is bored, so they can only report how the company under Zhang Jun's name makes money.

Among them was a new newspaper called "The Sun", which wanted to make the newspaper famous, and even sent reporters undercover to inquire about the profits of the properties under the name of Zhang Jun's company.

Soon an article was concocted and published, which immediately caused a sensation in Hong Kong and even the whole world.

When Zhang Jun heard the news, he was stunned!
After reading the contents of The Sun, I immediately felt disgusted to death.

"Shocking!!! Zhang Jun frantically scooped up players' cashmere, earning an astounding profit of more than 4 million U.S. dollars!!! According to the combined analysis of the information obtained by our reporter undercover for three months and the data provided by other arcade machine manufacturers, only these three Over the past month, 46 units of "Pac-Man" have been sold, and the arcade profit of each unit may be as high as $950!!"

Although it is not in the middle, it is not far away.

The net profit was actually $4.6 million! ! !
"In addition, "Hong Kong Cubes", "Snake", and "Space Invaders" are also very popular. In the past three months, the total sales volume is 23 units, and the profit is as high as 2 million US dollars!!!"

"The magazine "Legendary Games" sells well all over the world, and the advertising revenue is astonishing. The details are ominous."

"The income from brand peripherals is also amazing, and the details are ominous."

"In addition, Legendary Games has released arcade machines for other game companies, and the profits are astonishing. The specifics are ominous."

"All in all, Zhang Jun has been here for more than three months, and the legendary game company alone has earned at least 7 million U.S. dollars, which is 35 billion Hong Kong dollars! Such a high profit is simply insane! The entire Hong Kong, even Jardine Matheson or HSBC The bank's profits are no match for a legendary game company!"

"In the next issue, we will report on another company under Zhang Jun's name. The profitability of this company is also amazing, so stay tuned!"

Zhang Jun was speechless. He made so much money and was exposed.

The profits are touching. With the high profits of arcade machines, I am afraid that more companies will set foot in the arcade industry.

"What a bloody fuck!"

Zhang Jun cursed and threw the newspaper on the table.

On this day, people in Hong Kong initiated discussions about Zhang Jun earning so much money.

Even Hong Kong business tycoons clicked their tongues.

Inside Shaw Chairman's Office.

While drinking tea, Shao Daheng chatted with Fang Yihua and other senior executives of Shaw Brothers.

We chatted and talked about Zhang Jun.

Shao Daheng's tone was sour, and he said: "Zhang Jun's company is not very big, how can the company make so much money?! It earned 7 million US dollars in just three months..."

Shaw earns [-] million Hong Kong dollars a year, Shao Daheng can be very happy.

In fact, Shaw Brothers films did not make much money at all, and many of them lost money instead.

Due to the influence of the Legendary Film Company, the Shaw Brothers Film Company declined even faster than in the previous life. Now no one watches the old-fashioned films of the Shaw Brothers Film Company, and the audience is all fooled by the Legendary Film Company.

However, Shaw Films owns a lot of land, which is worth a lot.

At this time, the office was terribly quiet in vain, and everyone present couldn't help but feel an urge to enter the arcade industry, and they became more and more envious and jealous of Zhang Jun!

Li Jiacheng, Huo Yingdong, Zheng Yutong and others read the newspaper, but they didn't know what to think, so they held meetings one after another.

……

"Hello, I heard that your company is about to go bankrupt. My boss plans to buy your company. Can you make an offer?" A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes came to an arcade company in Hong Kong that was about to go bankrupt.

Duke Xin, the owner of Brilliant Arcade, asked, "Who is your boss?"

"Li Jiacheng, Chairman of Cheung Kong Industrial Group!" Wang Chuanping replied.

"Oh, it's him, one of the five tigers in Huazi Real Estate!" Du Kexin said in surprise.

After a slight pause, Duke asked, "How much does Boss Li plan to pay to buy my company?"

"350 million Hong Kong dollars!!"

"It's only 350 million Hong Kong dollars, which is too little. Brilliant Arcade is one of the best arcade companies in Hong Kong. All other arcade companies have been acquired by Legendary Game Company, but Brilliant Arcade is still alive! Our company not only owns a large arcade machine production plant , and more than 20 outstanding Japanese engineers with independent research and development capabilities!"

"Then how much do you want?"

"500 million Hong Kong dollars, you only need to give me 500 million Hong Kong dollars, and the company will be yours immediately!" Duke Xin said in a deep voice, "I think you have seen the report in the "Sun" too. Legendary Game Company makes so much money, Hong Kong University The guys will definitely not be indifferent, they all want a share of the worm. I believe that Li Jiacheng will not be the first person to look for me, maybe the people who look for me later, their quotations will be higher!!!”

If you don't enter the arcade industry, you don't know how deep the water is.

Duke Xin was already scared. Legendary Game Company was able to make so much money because they had developed four popular games in a row, all of which were popular all over the world.Can other arcade companies?cannot!

Wang Chuanping is the person in charge of the acquisition team. Hearing Duke Xin's words, he felt tense and acted quickly, or he might miss it.

"Okay, 500 million is 500 million!!!" Wang Chuanping gritted his teeth.

Right now, he signed an acquisition contract for the owner of Brilliant Arcade Company.

At the same time, others are also in motion.

Not long after, another batch of Hong Kong arcade factories was born.

At this time, the legendary game company also sent good news, the multi-chip processor game substrate has made a huge breakthrough, and will make a sample at the end of this month! ! !
Faced with this situation, countless arcade machine companies probably don't know that they have hit the gunpoint...
