Reborn: From arcade game to business empire

During this time, Lin Mu and Li Xiaohe fought a life and death, and at the same time, the K race series was also hot.

North America naturally has capital involved.

Soon the channel of the TV station was opened up and broadcast live on the TV station.

The King of Fighters is already in fact popular in North America.

Even with it, Lin Mu’s arcade machine is also sold rapidly in North America, undoubtedly, this is a huge business opportunity, faintly in these two months, Lin Mu’s tension is as high as 600 million US dollars.

And the order for the arcade machine was also soft, almost arranged two years later.

The scale of the factory in Georgia has also been repeatedly expanded, and Jiang Muyan has also considered whether to put the arcade machine completely in the United States for production, after all, according to the productivity of the United States, coupled with a certain tax reduction policy, the cost is still lower than that of Xiangjiang.

Now suddenly an arcade machine worth two hundred dollars appeared, which suddenly attracted Jiang Muyan’s attention, and this output was particularly large.

Two hundred US dollars, which is more than seven times lower than the price of 1,500 US dollars for Lin Mu.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu immediately realized that this must be an impostor from an island country landing in North America.

“You speak slowly!” Lin Mu said slowly.

Jiang Muyan slowly spoke: “Some time ago, Apu suddenly attracted the media to show his arcade machine, and declared that the price of an arcade machine is only two hundred US dollars, and now, our orders have begun to decline a lot!” ”

“Do you know where the arcade machine is made?” Lin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked.

“I’ve investigated, it’s Sony on the island, they have produced new arcade machines, and now they are building up our market share, and they are producing more and cheaper!”

Speaking of this, Jiang Muyan smiled bitterly, and then slowly spoke: “Boss, now our orders are drastically decreasing, and there are still people who are ready to sue us, thinking that our prices are unreasonable, this is unfair competition!” ”

“!”

Lin Mu sneered, and said without care: “They want to target us, don’t worry about it for the time being, let Kevin solve this problem!” ”

Speaking of this, Lin Mu paused slightly, and then continued: “I will buy a plane immediately, this will go to the United States, we will meet and talk!” ”

……

Call!

Lin Mu let out a slight breath, but his face was not very good-looking.

The island country actually began to participate in the competition, or Sony, too, the current island country is a copycat country, and it is not a problem to copycat its own arcade.

It’s just that what Lin Mu didn’t expect was that the competition came so quickly, and he originally wanted to make money comfortably for a few years, but now it seems that it is a little difficult.

But……

Lin Mu is also very skeptical that Sony can really imitate its own arcade machine.

Their arcade machine uses a thirty-two-bit processor, of which the technology Intel 8080 processor, the computing power is 0.64MIPS, which is only available in 1975, and now Intel is dead that is, to make a 4004 processor.

Sony can imitate it, Lin Mu absolutely does not believe it.

Subsequently, Lin Mu picked up the phone again and dialed Nintendo’s phone directly, simply contacting Hiroshi Yamauchi directly.

A day later, Lin Mu had already arrived in the island country.

To travel to the United States, you have to transit in the island country.

Lin Mu will take a short rest day in the island country, and then go directly to the United States.

Hiroshi Yamauchi personally greeted Lin Mu at the airport, and now the arcades of the island country are also selling very well, especially the global finals of the K race, which makes the arcade machines sell wildly.

During this period, Hiroshi Yamauchi also relied on arcades to make money, and Nintendo’s strength has also grown by leaps and bounds.

At present, Hiroshi Yamauchi has also developed some games and has received good feedback in the market.

Lin Mu and Nintendo basically share the copyright of arcade games, which is nothing more than a Chinese, a Japanese version.

“Lin Jun, I’m sorry!” Yamauchi quickly spoke: “Sony copied our technology, but unexpectedly, they went directly to the United States, originally thought that they wanted to stabilize the market in the island country first, at least to compete with us!” ”

Lin Mu signed a contract with Hiroshi Yamauchi, and Nintendo has the final say in the island country, and in the United States, it is fair competition, and the price of both sides is the same, depending on whose ability is greater.

Yamauchi’s strategy is relatively conservative, thinking that he should first occupy the island market, and then rely on the size of the island country to kill the United States, but Lin Mu’s strategy is radical, either do not do it, or directly make it bigger, so that the capital of the United States quickly accepts the K series.

Lin Mu is successful, has a very strong confidence in arcades, and also relies on Apu’s wonderful performance, which became a hit.

Such a huge market size, naturally, also makes Nintendo and Sony red-eyed.

Nintendo also plans to build a factory in the United States for sales, their arcade technology is similar to Lin Mu, but it is missing the Intel 8080 processor, this thing, Nintendo must also find Lin Mu import.

Cooperation with Nintendo, from the beginning, Lin Mu is invincible.

Just didn’t expect that Sony followed out of the island country and went directly to the United States, or joined forces with Apu by mistake.

“How’s their arcade?” Lin Mu suddenly asked.

“This…” Yamauchi shook his head and continued: “Not as good as ours, although Sony has also developed games, although it is also an imitation of arcade machines, it is only our first generation product!” ”

“So, can they run our King of Fighters game?” Lin Mu suddenly asked.

“Impossible, once it runs, there will definitely be a phenomenon of stuttering, and there will be no way to play at all!” Yamauchi slowly spoke: “So, in fact, we still have a great advantage, in the wind of competition, we will not inferior them too much!” ”

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly, and then slowly spoke: “But this is not good for us, once the price of the arcade machine is hit, our profits will plummet!” ”

Yamauchi Hiroshi also nodded, and then helplessly spoke: “There is no way around this!” ”

“I don’t think so!”

Lin Mu thought for a while, and an extremely vicious idea suddenly appeared in his chest, he glanced at Yamauchi Hiroshi, and said lightly: “What if we let Sony lose face in front of the whole world?” ”
