Hong Kong Island's New Rich Era

Chapter 25 Arcade Launch
But the core of the "Famicom" is the semiconductor chip, which was first produced in the early 6s. There is a technological gap of more than years between now and then. If the chip problem cannot be solved, then this game console will certainly not be created.

Huo Haiqing said excitedly: "Mr. Liu, I will immediately form a team to verify the design plan of the game console first."

Orange Technology has finally moved from game design to console development, which is a historic leap.

"Okay. If there are difficulties, we can overcome them, but we must not work in isolation. We should introduce technology and talents when necessary, and don't be afraid to spend money. If we can shorten our research and development time, it will be a profit."

"Don't worry, Mr. Liu. I will definitely send people out to research the market and collect the latest technologies."

After hearing Huo Haiqing's statement, Liu Zhicheng felt relieved. If he could go to the Yalida Company in the United States to conduct research, it would be great to go with the flow.

Liu Zhicheng remembers that Yalida Company had been sold in the past two years.

Of course, Orange Technology’s current top priority is the mass production and sales of Xiangjiang Cubes.

Since the completion of the industrial park, Liu Zhicheng instructed Huo Haiqing and Liu Changhai to transform Building B of the industrial building into an arcade production line.

Trial production has already started some time ago, and mass production of arcade machines can now start at any time. With two shifts a day, 400 arcade machines can be produced every day.

At present, the main costs of an arcade machine are the motherboard and the TV. After preliminary calculations, it is around one thousand US dollars, which is really not cheap.

North America's motherboard technology is the most mature and is definitely the best choice, and it is also beneficial to the sales of arcade machines in North America.

As for televisions, Liu Zhicheng decided that as long as the price in Hong Kong was similar to that in other places, he would purchase them in Hong Kong. It didn't matter if the price was a little higher, as it would be his own contribution to the development of Hong Kong.

Liu Zhicheng certainly knew that the prices of RB's televisions and motherboards were definitely lower, but RB's companies all existed in the form of consortiums and they all had intricate connections.

Liu Zhicheng is certain of one thing: when the arcade machines become popular, RB's consortium will definitely "hunt down" Orange Technology, and it will be troublesome to "choke" it by using chips, and they will demand to share the profits.

Arcade machines are different from claw machines. Orange Technology has mastered the game patent. This is a project that can make profits in the long run. Liu Zhicheng will not give up part of the profits easily.

Although RB claims to be a member of the free economy, it depends on who the target is. Therefore, Orange Technology handed over the motherboard order to Beimeili Company. Although it will be a little more expensive, it is more stable.

After all, North America is not the only super one now, because polar bears exist, and they are not so domineering yet!

After Huo Haiqing was promoted to the head of the company, he unleashed his great potential and had already finalized the procurement of two major items, televisions and motherboards.

We also found suppliers for other electronic parts in Hong Kong, and there were more than two suppliers for the same product.

The management team under the leadership of Huo Haiqing was well organized. Liu Changhai organized new workers to receive training on arcade machine production, although the old employees of the factory had experience in arcade machine production.

Li Zicai's purchasing team rushed to Beimeili to purchase motherboards.

Wang Xingfa invited dealers from Southeast Asia to come and experience Xiangjiang Cube's arcade machines and discuss potential orders.

At the same time, sales representatives were sent to recommend arcade machines to electric fan dealers, including major supermarkets in Europe and the United States.

In Hong Kong, we started selling Hong Kong cubes at the end of April.

On May 5, Liu Zhicheng was reviewing documents in his office when he saw Wang Xingfa walking in happily.

"Mr. Liu, our Xiangjiang cubes are selling well." As soon as he entered the door, Wang Xingfa happily reported to Liu Zhicheng.

The arcade machines sold well, and not only Wang Xingfa was happy, but Liu Zhicheng was also happy.

"Manager Wang, you look so happy. Tell me about the sales of the arcade machines!"

"Mr. Liu, you don't know that the game hall owners are fighting to pick up the goods."

"Really?" "In order to store and stock up, we are currently implementing a quota system in Hong Kong. One time, they fought under the factory building to grab the goods."

These game hall owners all have some "social background" to some extent, so it is not surprising that they fight for economic benefits.

There is a shortage of Xiangjiang Cubes in the market right now, and the game is so popular that buying it is just saving money. And it's not official yet, so there's no risk, so of course they have to desperately grab the stock.

Liu Zhicheng asked: "What is the sales volume in Xiangjiang now?"

“We have sold nearly 3,000 units, and orders are still coming in.”

"By the way, is our price of HK$10,000 per unit too high?"

"Mr. Liu, don't worry about this. If the market thinks it's expensive, they won't buy it so hot."

Indeed, those that have been tested by the market will definitely not have any major problems. Liu Zhicheng then called Huo Haiqing and Liu Changhai over to talk about the production of arcade machines.

Liu Changhai looked a little tired, but he still reported to Liu Zhicheng excitedly: "Mr. Liu, the production capacity has been fully released, and the production volume has reached 400 units per day."

Huo Haiqing added: "The cost of our arcade machines is currently around 5,000 Hong Kong dollars. According to our current production capacity, as long as we sell the products, our monthly gross profit can reach 90 million Hong Kong dollars."

Arcade machine sales have a certain periodicity, with peak sales generally lasting two to three months, and Liu Zhicheng dare not forget that.

"Ah, very good, but don't forget the cyclical nature of arcades. We need to have a plan for the market. In addition, have the prices in foreign markets been set?" Liu Zhicheng asked.

"One times the gross profit, $2000 per unit."

"Well, after this wave, I will celebrate for you."

……

May 5. The Peninsula Hotel, Hong Kong.

For this Southeast Asian Distributor Conference, a conference hall was rented directly at the Peninsula Hotel, demonstrating the confidence and strength of Orange Technology.

Now that we have money, the layout is different and it has to be more grand than last time.

This time, there were more dealers than last time, and many electric fan agents were invited. Moreover, the Orange Factory had completely established its reputation after the last claw machine event.

Arcade machines are different from claw machines, and many traders are interested in coming to take a look and learn more about the situation.

The dealer conference held at the six-star Peninsula Hotel allowed dealers from all over the country to feel the generosity of Orange Technology.

Each dealer is picked up by luxury cars and accompanied by beautiful women, making everyone feel at home.

The dealer conference was still hosted by Wang Xingfa. From inviting participants to hosting the dealer conference, Wang Xingfa was responsible for everything.

This was Liu Zhicheng's trust in him and also a test for him.

Liu Zhicheng felt that he was a wealthy man with a net worth of over 100 million Hong Kong dollars. For the sake of his own safety, it was better to stay behind the scenes sometimes.

From now on, it's time to consider your own safety and try not to expose yourself.
