Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 451 Different Attitudes
Also Friday, Los Angeles.

In 1978 last year, Atari produced 80 mainframes but only sold more than 50. The parent company, Warner, was facing losses and a financial crisis, which made Warner dissatisfied with Atari, which directly As a result, Nolan Bushnell was forced to leave the company he worked so hard for.

As the founder of the company, Nolan Bushnell is not the first boss to leave his founding company when most of the shares are sold to capital, and he will not be the last.

Capital values ​​a company because this company can bring benefits to capital, but if this company cannot bring benefits to capital, then capital will definitely clean up the management, so as to achieve the purpose of creating benefits for the company.

But Nolan Bushnell is not too bad. Although he left Atari, he sold his shares to Warner and became a multi-millionaire. He can use the money to start his career again.

Hanothan Wilson, a man in his 40s, is the new president of Atari after Nolan Bushnell left Atari.

Hanuosen Wilson found that he was super lucky. Not long after he took office, Atari's biggest competitor, Fairchild Semiconductor, announced its withdrawal from the game console manufacturing industry.

Although Fairchild Semiconductor still has inventory, game consoles are still on sale, but as long as Fairchild Semiconductor really withdraws from this industry, Atari will not have to do anything, and the sales of Atari VCS will gradually slow down. Continuous improving.

Therefore, Hannuo Sen Wilson has focused his energy on this matter since then, and even the promotion of Atari VCS has almost stopped, mainly because he does not want to stimulate Fairchild Semiconductor, so that Fairchild Semiconductor will not regret it and continue the game console manufacture.

Fortunately, after more than two months of observation, Hanuosen Wilson can basically confirm that Fairchild Semiconductor is really going to withdraw from the game console manufacturing industry, because Fairchild Semiconductor's game console manufacturing talent is constantly losing, and at the same time the product Sales are also dwindling, and now the inventory has been basically cleared.

After confirming this, Hannuo Sen Wilson was overjoyed. In this way, Atari VCS will have no competitors in the market, and what needs to be done in the future is to open up the market so that Atari VCS can have more sales.

"BOSS!"

The secretary walked into the office of Hanothan Wilson, holding a document in his hand: "The marketing department found a mainframe product similar to our Atari VCS, and this product is already being promoted."

"what?!"

Hanuosen Wilson couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the words, and immediately took the document and read it.

"I was shocked. It turned out that it was not a product of my own country, but a product of a British colony in the East. Does that place know what technology is? How could the technology of their products be compared with Atari, backwardness is synonymous with them .”

Hanuosen Wilson's words are full of arrogance, but this is the norm, because most Westerners in this era think that Easterners are superior. They are synonymous with advanced, and Eastern represents backwardness.

Therefore, the arrogance that appears to Easterners is very normal in the eyes of Westerners, and Hanothan Wilson is just one of the vast majority of Westerners.

Of course, you want to say that the Soviet Union is not behind, but the problem is that although Western countries reject the Soviet Union and fight against the Soviet Union, they do not divide the Soviet Union into the Easterners in terms of race.

"Xingyue Console? I'm looking forward to its end. Not everyone can enter this market. Without certain technology and popular games, what awaits it will only be huge losses."

Hanuosen Wilson closed the document while speaking, but he was not interested in reading any more. He said to the secretary: "Don't worry about it, it is facing Atari, and what awaits it will only be failure, so It can promote it as much as it wants, as long as it doesn't involve Atari."

"Ok."

The secretary responded when she heard the words, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with Hanuosen Wilson's reaction. There was really no need to pay attention to how a product developed in a strange small place could compare with Atari's advanced products.

Hanuosen Wilson said: "Now that the summer vacation is coming across the country, the most important thing for Atari is to promote our Atari VCS so that students of all grades can buy our products for entertainment during the summer vacation. , that’s the top priority.”

Therefore, Hanuosen Wilson didn't even investigate what kind of company the Xingyue Electronic Game Company that developed the Xingyue console was, let alone understand the product of the Xingyue console.

Unlike Japan, most of Starlight's stores in the United States have been available for demos since Monday's publicity.Because Gold Star TV is in the United States, the TVs can be delivered to various stores in no time.

It is different in Japan. It takes time for Venus TV Company to deliver the TV sets to Zhiyin Comics Publishing Company, and it also takes time for Zhiyin Comics Publishing Company to distribute them to various stores.Therefore, although the arrangement for the TV set started last week, it took Saturday in Japan to deliver to most of the stores.

Therefore, if Hanuosen Wilson is interested, he can actually try the Xingyue host on the same day and learn more about this product, but it is a pity that he did not pay attention to the Xingyue host.

Regarding the emergence of the Xingyue console, Atari chose to ignore it, but Nintendo paid close attention to it, and Ura Yamauchi even decided to try the Xingyue console for himself at that time.

The different attitudes of the two companies towards Xingyue host seem to be able to see the different futures of the two companies.

Regarding these, Lin Baicheng is currently ignorant of this. While paying attention to the publicity, he is paying attention to how many people in each store of Xingguang Company have a trial experience of the Xingyue console every day, and how they evaluate it.

Starlight Company itself sells toys, and many children go to the store every day. The Xingyue host is also aimed at the teenagers and children's market. In addition, the Xingyue host is a free trial experience, so some people actually tried it on the same day .

As time goes by, in the reports of various stores, the number of people who try to play every day is increasing. Although the largest store has only a dozen people who are trying to play, it is already a good start.

In the player evaluations of the trial experience, they all rated the game very high, and they liked several games very much. Among them, the two games "Super Mario Bros" and "Vacuum Boy" were the most popular, and "Super Mario" The O'Brothers was more popular than The Vacuum Boys.

It is a pity that, as of Friday, the number of pre-sales of Xingyue consoles is only in double digits, which is the total number of pre-sales of all stores.

A Xingyue host is $179. For ordinary families, this price is actually not low. The Xingyue host has only appeared on the market for a few days. It will take time for more people to book and buy it.
