The richest man

Chapter 174 The Charm of Money

Arcade games, electronic pets and Walkman players have made tens of millions of people around the world fans of "Legend".

This press conference can be described as highly anticipated.

Zhang Jun was dressed very casually, in a white short-sleeved T-shirt for Rimba men's sports and leisure, which looked very much like the sunny boy next door, youthful and handsome.

As soon as he appeared, countless fans cheered and screamed loudly, "Zhang Jun, I love you", "Zhang Jun, I like you", the waves of voices were louder and louder.

This popularity is indeed worthy of being a top singer who is popular all over the world!
Seeing this, many business leaders in the audience couldn't help laughing.

"Zhang Jun's popularity in the entertainment circle is much higher than his popularity in the business circle!" Zheng Yu, chairman of the board of directors of Chow Tai Fook, teased.

Huo Yingdong, Bao Yugang and others couldn't help but smile when they heard this.

"Old Zheng, New World Group has developed rapidly recently, and its stock price has risen by ten yuan." Bao Yugang said with a smile.

"Haha, the general environment is good. Since the end of the oil crisis, Hong Kong's economy has taken off rapidly, and the real estate industry has developed rapidly. Lao Li's Cheung Kong Industry has developed better than my New World Group..."

"No way, Cheung Kong is just making a fuss, the real predator is still on stage!" Li Jiacheng smiled and pointed at Zhang Jun.

At this time, Zhang Jun stretched out his right index finger and put it in front of his mouth, and gave a "shh" to signal everyone to be quiet.

After a while, the venue was quiet.

According to the usual practice, Zhang Jun first said some scene words, and then started to introduce the products.

"Qiankun Handheld, hold Qiankun in your palm, owning a Qiankun Handheld, you will have countless game worlds!!"

"Next, I will grandly introduce the new product developed by our company, Qiankun Handheld, please watch the big screen!"

Zhang Jun doesn't like to spend too much time talking, but is used to showing everyone the video. After watching the video, everyone will basically have a general understanding of this product.Then Zhang Jun went to introduce some technical and performance information.

Soon, as the demonstration video was broadcast, everyone in the audience and in front of the TV was surprised.

The legendary technology company actually put a game in a small box the size of an adult's palm.

Games such as "Hong Kong Cubes", "Pac-Man", and "Donkey Kong" can all be run on the Qiankun handheld.In addition, the video also introduces a new game "Pokemon", which is extremely eye-catching.

The video of more than six minutes almost clearly introduced the Qiankun handheld.

"Pokemon" also made its debut, and it was extremely brilliant, instantly capturing the hearts of countless players.

After playing the video, Zhang Jun walked onto the stage this time, but everyone was still immersed in the surprise just now.

Seeing everyone's reactions, Zhang Jun couldn't help but smile slightly.

"Ahem, I probably don't need a detailed introduction now. I think everyone already has a deep understanding of the Qiankun Handheld! Yes, that's right, the Qiankun Handheld is a game console that can be played on your hands. Most of the arcade games can be transplanted to the handheld! After the user purchases the Qiankun handheld, he only needs to buy the game cartridge, and he can change the game at any time.”

"At this moment, there should be many people who are more concerned about the official release time and price of Qiankun Handheld!"

"Everyone, please rest assured that on the second day after the press conference, 'Legendary Stores' all over the world will be sold. Don't worry if there are no Legendary Stores. We will cooperate with many retailers and be able to distribute the products to Every corner of the world. Even if it is Antarctica, I can find a way to send it there!"

Zhang Jun smiled slightly, paused, and continued: "The price is also very affordable, a Qiankun handheld is only 299 US dollars, and there is also a "Hong Kong Cube" game cassette as a gift. Of course, you can also spend money to go Buy other game cartridges, and they're only $30 each."

"Here, I need to grandly introduce the game "Pokemon" to you. This game is a mobile game specially developed for Qiankun Handheld. The gameplay of this game is very simple. Players collect Pokemon, and then train and fight , beat the opponent."

"It's worth mentioning that the novel, comics and cartoons of the same name will be released simultaneously tomorrow, I hope you like it!!!"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience burst into surprise.

The game has not been officially released, but novels, comics and cartoons have been prepared, which undoubtedly proves that Legendary Technology is full of confidence in "Pokemon".

"I'm afraid Zhang Jun will make a lot of money this time!" Zheng Yutong sighed, his tone paused, he turned his head to look at Li Jiacheng, and asked, "Old Li, can Brilliant Arcade Company also make handhelds? "

Zheng Yutong discovered at a glance that the handheld has great prospects.

It's a pity that Li Jiacheng shook his head and said to him: "Although I don't understand technology, I know that it must be technically difficult to run these games on the handheld very smoothly. Brilliant Arcade Company can't do it for the time being. The key is, even if you do There are handhelds, but if there is no supporting game, then players will not buy it."

Li Jiacheng paused, and said, "Legendary Technology is different. They own many popular games all over the world. In addition, they are also one of the largest game publishers in the world. After the Qiankun handheld appears, there will definitely be many game developers. I am willing to authorize my own games to be transplanted to the Qiankun handheld platform! After all, one more game platform can bring more income..."

Li Jiacheng's Brilliant Arcade Company has basically given up on hardware development. All the game boards have been purchased from Legendary Technology Company for the "Ling Xiao" game board. How about developing handhelds?
Li Jiacheng is quite self-aware.

on the stage.

Zhang Jun was in high spirits.

Offstage, the cameras of the newspaper reporters kept flickering.

"Have a child like Zhang Jun!"

A reporter expressed emotion.

At this point, the press conference is still going on.

Zhang Jun introduced the second generation of electronic pet machines.

"Compared with the first generation of electronic pet machines, the second generation has two important features."

"The first feature is that the electronic pets have been replaced with pets from "Pokemon", such as Pikachu, Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Fireball, etc..."

"The second feature is that the second-generation electronic pet machine uses the most advanced infrared technology, which can connect with friends. Simply put, after two electronic pet machines are close together, they can use infrared technology to add friends. After adding friends After that, you can do many things, including fighting between the two sides!"

After finishing speaking, there was an exclamation from the audience.

"Legendary Technology Company is simply amazing, it has developed such a fun electronic pet machine!!!"

"Yeah, the second-generation electronic pet machine can connect with friends to play against each other, it feels much more fun!"

"Damn it, the second-generation electronic pet machine is so good, isn't it going to sell out!?"

"..."

At this moment, among the many colleagues, one counts as the other, and there is a look of envy and jealousy in their eyes.

The major media are extremely excited. The information released in today's press conference is really big enough. Presumably in the next period of time, the media will be able to eat enough traffic and make a lot of money.

Zhang Jun finally said that the price of the second-generation electronic pet machine is 99 US dollars, and then announced the end of the conference.

Players all over the world are obsessed with Qiankun Handheld, "Pokemon" and the second-generation electronic pet machine, and almost all of them are very excited.

In the middle of the night that day, many players took their tents and lived in front of the legendary store, waiting for the opening at 8 o'clock tomorrow, snapping up the Qiankun handheld and the second-generation electronic pet machine as soon as possible.

Akihabara, Japan.

"Brother, are you queuing late at night too?"

"Yeah, Legend Technology's products are good, but the production capacity has been insufficient. I was afraid that they would run out of stock in two days, so I hurried over to line up!"

"In fact, the production capacity of Legendary Technology is quite strong, but their products are too popular and popular all over the world. I waited for two weeks for the Walkman to get the goods."

"Don't mention it, I haven't been able to buy one. In the end, I got a Walkman from a scalper, and it cost almost two companions!"

"..."

The next day, the world's major media were paying attention to the sales of Qiankun Handheld, "Pokemon" and the second-generation electronic pet machine.

Almost every legendary store has a queue of hundreds of meters, causing serious traffic jams.

"For many years, I have only seen such a large-scale queuing phenomenon every time Legendary Technology Company releases new products!" A TV reporter set up the camera and sighed.

When the companions heard this, they couldn't help but nodded.

The time of the day is fleeting.

In the middle of the night, the headquarter of Legendary Technology Company was still on and counting sales.

Shangguan Muye was so excited that he couldn't sleep, he sat in the company himself.

Around 01:30 in the morning, all sales statistics were completed.

Qiankun handheld sold 91 units.

The second-generation pet machine sold 155 million units.

"Pokemon" sold 74 game cartridges.

"Pac-Man" sold 62 game cartridges.

"Space Invaders" sold 60 game cartridges.

"Donkey Kong" sold 54 game cartridges.

"Snake" sold 30 game cartridges.

As for "Hong Kong Cubes", every time you sell one, you will get a game cartridge. Some people don't buy game cartridges, so they can't buy an empty game console, so at least one game should be given away.

……

In the morning of the next day, the morning light was faint, and the morning light was like water. Zhang Jun slept soundly last night, and was boxing in the yard early this morning.

Near 7:[-], he received a call from Shangguan Muye.

Shangguan Muye excitedly reported yesterday's overall sales to Zhang Jun on the phone.

After Zhang Jun listened, he was dumbfounded.

The sales volume was also astonishing, far exceeding his expectations.

I'm afraid Nintendo is not so awesome.

Nintendo only has a huge influence in the field of games, but the release of the Walkman Walkman made the legendary technology company resound in the field of technology.In addition, the boss of Legend Technology Company is a well-known Uranus superstar and novel master in the world. He designed the game, and countless fans frantically bought it, which is normal.Otherwise, how could Zhang Jun think of a way to become famous?
Zhang Jun even thought about whether he would learn from Chen Ou in the future, film "I speak for myself", and then broadcast it on TV. The language is not only Chinese...

After this wave of operations, it will definitely earn a lot of fans.

Of course, the serialization of novels and comics during the day yesterday, and the release of the "Pokemon" cartoon last night also drove the sales of Qiankun Handheld and the second-generation electronic pet machine.

"Announcing the sales volume will further build up our reputation and allow major media to promote us for free. In addition, this can give third-party game developers a little confidence and let them sign the exclusive handheld platform!" Zhang Jun ate eggs while commanded.

"Okay!" Shangguan Muye nodded in response, then said "goodbye" to Zhang Jun, and hung up the phone.

At 9:10 in the morning, Legend Technology announced yesterday's sales.

As soon as the content was announced, it immediately caused a huge sensation all over the world.

Major media around the world have reported on it, and they have also analyzed how much money Legend Technology has made, and the final total sales.

All the major newspapers showed their abilities, and it felt like they were going to see through the legendary technology company.

All of a sudden, the major media were filled with news about the legendary technology company.

And this is exactly what Zhang Jun hoped.

The more exposure, the more sales.

It's a pity that the Qiankun Handheld is out of stock in less than a week.

There are still some stocks of the second-generation electronic pet machine, but it seems that it won't last for a week.

In Hong Kong, almost all the factories under the name of Legendary Technology Company are working overtime and working in three shifts.

During this period of time, most of the topics of Hong Kong citizens were talking about how much money Zhang Jun made almost every day.

It is impossible not to pay attention to people close to us, and many entrepreneurs in Hong Kong are also moved.Although they all know that the game development industry is not easy to mess with, but who let Zhang Jun, a successful example, be here, stimulating them almost every moment.

"Today, Legendary Technologies made roughly $2.2 million!!!"

"Today, Legendary Technologies made roughly $1.8 million!!!"

"Today, Legendary Technologies made roughly $1.5 million!!!"

"..."

Almost every day, there are Hong Kong newspapers reporting this on the headlines on the front page. Although the calculated profit is just a guess, the difference will not be too much.

Many people in Hong Kong were stimulated and went crazy!

"It's too profitable to be in the game industry. I've been in the business for most of my life, and I don't earn as much as him in a day!"

"Hey, old He, have you read the newspaper? Zhang Jun's legendary technology company makes so much money, you have no idea?"

"what idea?"

"Haven't you ever thought of entering this industry, instead?"

"Haha, Lao Gao, it's not easy to replace it, but you can give it a try!"

"Haha, old He, I don't know you yet!! How about this, we join forces, we will have a stronger chance, what do you think?"

"Okay, no problem!!!"

"..."

All of a sudden, many wealthy families in Hong Kong began to join forces to form game development companies in twos and threes. Four or five powerful game companies appeared on the stage, which surprised Zhang Jun.

"Boss, Zhengtu Game Company is jointly established by Chartered Ship King and Huo Yingdong."

"Xia Ke Game Company was jointly invested and established by Jin Yong and Shao Daheng, mainly adapting Jin Yong's novels."

"Blackfire Game Company is invested by the 14k community."

"Sun Games was jointly established by several British consortiums."

"In addition, many game companies have been established recently, but the strength of these companies is slightly weaker."

"All in all, Hong Kong's game industry is mixed with good and bad! But for us, it doesn't have any major impact, because we are a platform!!! It is difficult for them to catch up!"

Shangguan Muye said with a very determined expression.

Zhang Jun nodded. At this time, Qiankun Handheld has the first-mover advantage and has sold millions of units. Even if other companies develop a handheld in the future, no game developer will be willing to release it on a new platform. game.

A new platform means fewer users, and game developers will only choose a new platform unless their brains are flooded.

In fact, the threshold for handheld and home game consoles is very high.Only very powerful companies are eligible to enter.In the previous life, it was as strong as Microsoft. The original Xbox was a game console brand that Microsoft lost billions of dollars...

Just ask, how many companies in the world are richer than Microsoft?
As far as these companies in Hong Kong are concerned, there is really no need to worry about them.

A large group of guys who like to engage in real estate can also play with electronic products? ?
Uh, speaking of which, I also like to engage in real estate, but I am still different from them after all. With golden fingers in hand, it is difficult to lose.

noon.

Zhang Jun, the phone keeps ringing.

Bao Yugang, Jin Yong and others called to say hello to Zhang Jun. The company they established will rely on Legend Technology for a long time to come. At the same time, they don't want Zhang Jun to be misunderstood. Their company is only a third party. Game developers, not planning to dabble in hardware.

Just the profits from the game cassettes are enough to satisfy everyone.

Of course Zhang Jun welcomed them.

The more third-party game developers, the better, the better, and Legendary technology companies can make money lying down!
……

As time passes by little by little.

Qiankun Handheld, the second-generation electronic pet machine, and "Pokemon" have all become phenomenal products and are popular all over the world.Due to the huge number, the influence produced is far beyond that of arcade machines, and the profit is also higher than that of arcade machines!
……

Fast forward to November 1976, 11.

At this moment, Zhang Jun has accumulated very strong funds. In a short period of time, he can even mobilize 20 billion US dollars.

After thinking about it again, Zhang Jun felt that Disney should be acquired first.

Now Zhang Jun no longer hesitated, and immediately mobilized the power of the group to start the acquisition of Disney! ! !
Good guy, money leads the way. Many small Disney shareholders have sold their shares, but they probably don't know who they are selling to.

At the same time, it is also absorbing Disney's stock in the stock market.

Half a month later, Zhang Jun got a 12.5% ​​stake and became Disney's largest individual shareholder.

However, the influence of the Disney family cannot be ignored, and it is difficult to control Disney with only 12.5%.

Still have to continue to acquire more shares.

Time passed by, and the dark tide was raging inside Disney. By December, Disney executives had discovered that someone was buying shares in their company.

At this time, Zhang Jun also knew that he couldn't hide it, so he simply formally launched a takeover offer to Disney.

And he already holds 19.2% of the shares of Disney company...

The acquisition of Disney is a big deal in Hollywood.

Soon, the news spread and was immediately reported by major media, causing a great sensation.

Hong Kong also received news soon.

Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, and Princess Jin all looked shocked.

Daheng Shao was almost stunned. Legendary Film Company actually wanted to acquire a Hollywood film giant. Shaw Brothers has been established for so many years and is still spinning in this small pond in Hong Kong. How embarrassing it is!
At this time, the Hong Kong entertainment industry was in an uproar, causing heated discussions!

The stars who did not sign with the Legendary Film Company showed their favor to the Legendary Film Company one after another...
