Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 65 Game Console
If he wanted to go to the United States to do gold futures trading, Lin Baicheng would definitely bring traders there. He thought about it and decided to bring An Yuan and others along.Anyway, Lin Baicheng is doing long gold futures trading, and after buying it, he will put it away, and he doesn't do swings, so there is no need for An Yuan and others to stay in the United States all the time.

But before Lin Baicheng took An Yuan and others to the United States, the long-awaited Yokoi Junhei finally came to Xiangjiang from RB.

Yokoi Junhei has resigned from Nintendo, and at the request of Lin Baicheng, he recruited some talents in hardware research and development to assist him in hardware research and development.

Lin Baicheng personally went to the airport to pick up Junping Yokoi and the others, and gave them a good rest that day, before taking them to the Xinghe game factory the next day.

Among these people, Lin Baicheng valued Yokoi Junhei the most, so he brought Yokoi Junhei to the office alone to talk.

"Yokai, look at this."

Lin Baicheng took out a set of equipment and showed Yokoi Junhei.

"This is the Atari VCS!"

Yokoi Junhei recognized the equipment Lin Baicheng took out at a glance.

"Oh? You know?"

Lin Baicheng was a little surprised. Atari only started selling this set of equipment in October. Could it be that Atari has already opened the RB channel?
"Yes, President."

Yokoi Junhei nodded and said: "President Yamauchi brought this device back after he came back from the United States last month, saying that this is the latest video game console developed by Atari Game Company of the United States. President Yamauchi asked us to learn The above technology, I want to know how much time and money it will take for Nintendo to develop a similar device."

"So how much time and money will it take for Nintendo to develop a similar device?"

Lin Baicheng couldn't help feeling secretly in his heart, as expected of Yamauchiura, he had his eye on the console market early on.

Yokoi Junhei said: "It will take about one to three years. The specific time depends on the amount of funds invested. The more funds invested, the shorter the time required."

"It seems that our company will have one more competitor."

After hearing this, Lin Baicheng couldn't help being a little puzzled. He was very clear about the specific time when the red and white machine appeared. Nintendo launched the red and white machine in 1983.Even if it is calculated based on the research and development time of about three years at the latest, Yamauchiura intends to develop similar host equipment now, and it should be launched on the market in about 80 years.

After hearing this, Yokoi Junhei couldn't help asking: "President, do you also want to develop this kind of equipment?"

"You're right, I'm just going to develop similar equipment."

Yokoi Junhei has joined the company, of course Lin Baicheng will not hide it from him anymore, and said: "But what I want Yokoi to do is not to imitate the Atari VCS device, I am not satisfied with the configuration of this device, I need You develop a similar device that is better than this one."

"Whether it's CPU or memory and other hardware, it's too bad. The picture looks a bit blurry, and the game scene is even more depressing. It's really terrible."

"I admit that this is a classic device, but the hardware used by Atari is too bad. We need to use better hardware and develop a better console. Coupled with the popular games developed by our company, it will definitely be great. Kill the Quartet."

"President, your opinion is almost the same as that of President Yamauchi, you are really heroes who see the same thing."

Yokoi Junhei was very surprised when he heard it, because before he left Nintendo, Yamauchiura said almost the same thing.

"Is that so? It seems that I have to treat Nintendo as an opponent with caution."

Lin Baicheng was a little surprised. Because he came from later generations, he was dissatisfied with the poor performance of the Atari VCS device. He didn't expect Yamauchiura to also want to make better devices.But yes, the red and white machine should be born under such circumstances. It seems that even if Yokoi Junhei and Miyamoto Sang are dug over, Nintendo cannot be negligent.

"President, Nintendo will not become our opponent for the time being."

Yokoi Junhei said: "Before I left, President Yamauchi roughly calculated the funds needed for research and development equipment, and found that it would cost at least 100 billion yen, and Nintendo does not have that much money for the time being, so the research and development plan can only be temporarily stranded. As for when to research and develop, it depends on Nintendo’s profitability in the next few years. Moreover, such a major research and development requires the approval of the board of directors, and it will take time for President Yamauchi to convince the board of directors.”

"Is that so? That's really good news!"

Although he is not afraid of Nintendo, Lin Baicheng certainly has reasons to be happy that there is one less competitor.

"Yokoi, for this device, I must develop it, so you don't need to worry about the funds. As for the R&D talents, as long as you need them, make a list for me, and I will ask people to poach them. , Let them assist you in developing equipment."

"Yes, President."

Yokoi Junhei responded, and then said: "President, our company didn't have a hardware R&D department before, and everything had to be started from scratch. So not only the talents, but also the equipment needed for R&D must be purchased. The initial funds may not be enough. It will be less."

"Buy! As long as it is what you need, then buy it!"

Lin Baicheng said in a deep voice, as long as he can afford it, he is willing to buy it. Nowadays, no one knows better than him how huge the future console market will be.Today's investment is for future harvest.

"I will not let you down, President!"

Yokoi Junhei said excitedly that the huge financial support of Galaxy Games and his leading hardware development are the fundamental reasons why Yokoi Junhei is willing to leave Nintendo and come to Galaxy Games. Now it seems that his choice is not wrong.

"Let's work hard together, Yokoi."

Lin Baicheng walked over and patted Yokoi Junhei on the shoulder. He believed that with him as a reborn, the future development of Galaxy Games would definitely not be worse than that of Nintendo in the previous life, and would even develop better.If he can't even do this, then Lin Baicheng has failed too much.

"Yes, President!"

Yokoi Junhei agreed, he also hoped that Galaxy Games would develop better, even better than Nintendo, only in this way could he prove that his choice was not wrong.

After that, Lin Baicheng took Yokoi Junping to meet some high-level executives of Galaxy Games, mainly Liu Yihui and his sister Lin Shufang and others.

However, unlike the vast majority of intellectuals in Hong Kong who can speak English, Japanese is only known by a small number of translation-related professionals. Therefore, it is not so convenient for Yokoi Junhei, Miyamoto Soo and others to communicate with the management of Galaxy Games. Lin Baicheng specially For this reason, I hired a Japanese interpreter in the company.

Xiangjiang is now a British colony, and middle school is to learn English, so anyone who graduates from middle school will know some English.Without English, it is almost impossible to become the management of a large company in Xiangjiang in this day and age.
