Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 154 The Unyielding Atari

After not paying attention to the gold price trend all day long, Lin Baicheng got busy with work.

Lin Baicheng wants to guide the "Tank Battle" team to develop the game. Fortunately, the general direction has been determined. He doesn't need to develop it with his employees. He just needs to come over every day to check the progress and make sure that there are no problems in the development.

In this way, although the progress is not fast because of the lack of Lin Baicheng's personal participation in the research and development, it is also impossible. The New Century Software Company also cannot do without Lin Baicheng.

The research and development of office software is absolutely impossible without Lin Baicheng's leadership.

Although the era of personal computers was started by Apple, because it has only been half a year, personal computers are not yet popular.But computers have been around for many years, and IBM's computers are selling well in administrative units, banks, schools, hospitals and other places, where computers are already used for office work.

Computers have been used for some years, but there is no company that develops office software. In addition to limited ideas, there are also technical reasons.

Therefore, if you don't want to wait a year or two or even longer to see office software, then Lin Baicheng must participate and lead the company's software developers to develop the software as a leader.

Therefore, Lin Baicheng spends most of his time at New Century Software Company, leading the development of software.

This morning, just as Lin Baicheng came to New Century Software Company, Isabella came to his office.

"What's the matter? Isabella!"

Lin Baicheng knew that Isabella should be looking for him for something.

Isabella said: "Boss, Mr. Nolan Bushnell, the president of Atari, wants to come over and meet with you."

"Still talking about authorization?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help frowning slightly when he heard the words: "Didn't I tell you to reject Atari? And I have already rejected it twice. He should know my attitude. It is impossible to authorize the game "Xiangjiang Square" to Atari. right."

As early as Christmas, Atari contacted the Galaxy Games branch in the United States, wanting to obtain the authorization of "Xiangjiang Square" and move this game to Atari VCS, but was rejected by Lin Baicheng.

Obviously, after discovering the popular arcade game "Xiangjiang Square", Atari found that this game is actually more suitable for application on consoles, so it wanted to obtain authorization.This is a good thing for both parties to make money together, but what Atari didn't expect was that Galaxy Games rejected it without even thinking about it, and didn't offer a sky-high licensing fee, as if there was nothing to talk about.

One month later, Atari found that "Xiangjiang Cube" was getting more and more popular, so it was not reconciled to find Xinghe Games again, and offered such a high licensing fee and conditions that Isabella was so moved that she couldn't refuse it. Next, I asked Lin Baicheng for instructions, but Lin Baicheng refused again.

The reason for Lin Baicheng's refusal was very simple, because Xinghe Games was developing its own console, so how could it be possible to authorize its own popular game to other console manufacturers to enhance the strength of competitors.

What's more, although Lin Baicheng knew that Atari would collapse within a few years, the more Atari earns now, the longer it will last in the future. What Lin Baicheng wanted.

Only when Atari collapses according to the original track, can the consoles of Xinghe games prevail in the US and Western countries more easily, eating up the market left after the collapse of Atari.Compared with such a big benefit, what is the licensing fee and conditions given by Atari? It's just a drop in the bucket.

Therefore, although Atari offered quite good conditions, Lin Baicheng still refused and there would be no change.

Isabella speculated: "Boss, I think Mr. Bushnell is a little bit unwilling, so he wants to have an interview with you in person, and wants to persuade you to license the game to Atari."

"It seems that it should be so."

Lin Baicheng nodded when he heard the words, he thought so too.

Although the Atari VCS has no rivals in the market today, the Atari VCS is only a console, and it is absolutely impossible to have only a console without games.However, Atari alone can't develop many games, so it has to be authorized by other game companies. The game "Xiangjiang Cube" is quite popular, suitable for all ages, and Atari naturally doesn't want to give up.

"Isabella, do you think I should meet him? You also know that our company is developing consoles. Although it has just started for a short time, we definitely cannot license the games developed by the company."

Isabella said: "Boss, I think it is still necessary for you to meet him. After all, Mr. Bushnell is the president of Atari. He came to visit in person, but we refused to meet. It is said that the influence is not good. Another thing is , if you don’t meet him this time, he may not give up, and will contact the company, never forgetting the authorization.”

"What you said makes sense, then meet him."

Lin Baicheng nodded and said, "The meeting place is here in the company. You can ask him about the time, and just let me know when the time is determined."

"Okay, BOSS!"

Isabella nodded in response.

"correct."

Seeing Isabella turn around and prepare to go out, Lin Baicheng stopped her: "How is the Chinese tour guide I asked you to find?"

"There are basically no professional Chinese tour guides, because you said that you may have to be a tour guide for a few months, so I asked people to find graduates from Hong Kong or overseas Chinese. I believe that it will take a few days to find someone." Isabella replied road.

"My parents and the others are coming over in a few days, but let's say they have all come, but they haven't even found the tour guide yet."

Lin Baicheng warned, under his persuasion many times, Lin's father and Lin's mother decided to travel to the United States for a period of time.As for how long to play, it depends on the second elder's own thoughts.

Isabella immediately assured: "Boss, don't worry, I will never delay the matter."

"Well, I believe you."

Regarding Isabella's ability to handle affairs, Lin Baicheng is still at ease.

After Isabella went out, she came to Lin Baicheng's office not long after, saying that she had spoken with Nolan Bushnell, the president of Atari, on the phone, and made an appointment to meet at 02:30 in the afternoon, and the other party would come by then .

Lin Baicheng nodded to show that he knew, although he didn't know how Nolan Bushnell was going to persuade him, but no matter what the other party said, he would not change his mind, unless the other party offered an unimaginably sky-high price.

The price that Lin Baicheng couldn't refuse was sky-high, but he knew very well that it was impossible for Atari to offer such a high price.If the other party is really willing, then he really doesn't mind authorizing Atari. As for the future, it will be up to each other according to their own ability. Now let's make the sky-high money first.
