please make money

"I shouldn't...I shouldn't show off...I shouldn't ask Missy for a ticket..."

"Do you think it's as simple as Missy just preparing concert tickets for you?"

"Ah?" Zhou Haimei was a little panicked: "Isn't it? I—I didn't want anything else! Why don't I buy it myself, I saved some money, I..."

"Alas..." Aunt Zhou sighed and sighed as she looked at this clever daughter.

Of course, at her age, she still doesn't understand the truth that money is so easy to spend and love is hard to repay, and do you still know the relationship between people?

You must know that even those who are successful and famous, they dare not say that they can repay the love of the nobles who supported them in the first place.

Because sometimes, affection cannot be quantified, especially when the other party has everything.

This is why there are such a large group of 'royalists' who are hiding and waiting for their time in the Ai's group.

At the beginning, Ai Rulong and his wife Lu Wuxia may have chosen to help their subordinate employees to make progress together out of a certain degree of good intentions.

The final beneficiary is actually the Aishi Group itself. After all, it is impossible for them to cultivate talents for others.

But for the group of people who changed their destiny, this kind of opportunity is not just as simple as the return of work.

Who do you sell to?How to sell?The other party is also worthy?Choices in life are at crossroads everywhere.

But when the eldest lady said 'my father Ai Rulong', the fate of the Ai Group was destined to change, and no one could stop it.

Because there were indeed those two people back then, it was worth fighting with everyone to share adversity and wealth together...

"From now on, the eldest lady will be your own sister! Even if you disobey me, you can't make her angry, understand?"

"I know, she is the eldest lady!" Zhou Haimei lowered her voice: "I know, I understand, mom, don't worry!"

"Silly girl, what do you know, it's because she is really looking after you!"

Mr. Zhou still didn't say a word, that is, the eldest lady treats you just like the elder sister treated me back then.

What is the virtue and ability of our mothers to meet such a pair of sisters...

"...?"

145-I'm Really Willful!Don't get me wrong!

"President, the club's recent problem is—"

"Enough! Stop talking!"

In the office, the gray-haired old man waved his hand to stop the assistant from bringing any more bad news.

He is already a little bit overwhelmed by the successive bad news. Jiafugen Co., Ltd. is now in a precarious situation, which is really difficult.

As a game company established in the 80s and known as the 'King of Fighting', he never thought that the new century would be so difficult.

"I think back then, how brilliant we were..."

He looked out the window and felt that he was really old.

The assistant thinks it's better to talk about something serious, it's useless for you to hurt the spring and the autumn.

Can the glory of the year be eaten?

The collapse of Atari is simply terrible news, and now the entire industry is about to collapse, so find a way to save it!

If Alia were here, she would probably be amazed that Atari could live for another 40 years before collapsing. What kind of strange historical singularity is this?

But it's okay, the damn thing still has to die, the president looked at the document in his hand, and couldn't bear to read it anymore.

Over the years, Atari, a one-pot manufacturer of game hardware plus software, has implemented a strategy of quantity over quality that has worked well.

They flooded the market with tens of thousands of homogeneous games with similar styles, and repeatedly harvested players, causing players to completely lose confidence in them.

Before, they claimed to have acquired the IP copyright of "ET Aliens" and wanted to make a masterpiece.

But in fact, they only spent six weeks rushing to produce a piece of garbage, and stocked up 400 million copies. The first wave of fans were deceived and bought 150 million copies.

But can a fool still come twice?Of course not, and word of mouth has completely collapsed.

It is said that Atari has been dumbfounded, and it is useless to hold high-level meetings again. The extra 250 million game discs were eventually buried in the trash town of Alamogordo, New Mexico, along with some other unsold inventory. This grind not only buried their garbage games, but also buried the current game industry.

The innate hostility of the mainstream media to video games, and the rise of mobile terminals such as personal computers and mobile phones, such an inexplicable combination of punches directly smashed the bubble of the current game industry, and the life of TV game consoles is about to go The end, and even a large number of video game developers are on the verge of bankruptcy.

The catastrophe has spread from North America to the Asia-Pacific, and the leading brother, Atari, has fallen, and the younger brothers in the industry who follow the soup will not get better.

"Do you remember Tomohiro Nishikaku?" The president sighed for a while and looked back at the assistant.

Of course the assistant remembered: "Is it Tomohiro Nishikado from Taito Corporation?"

"Yeah, he is also planning to sell his property and leave the game industry. Time is really not forgiving..."

When it comes to the famous publishers of book games, prominent and dazzling names such as Nintendo, Sega and their Gafugen will immediately appear in people's minds like a conditioned reflex. Not many people will care that a company like TAITO has been reduced to SQUARE-ENIX The declining enterprise of the subsidiary company.

But the other party has actually existed for more than [-] years, and has made an indelible contribution to the game industry forever.

Because TAITO's model worker is Tomohiro Nishikaku, a genius who can use wood and rubbish to rub pachinko machines, a generation of masters in the arcade era.

Developing arcade machines from scratch, it is almost their group that established the three-sequence pattern of gun car ball games in later generations.

And his famous work is "Space Invaders", this game directly changed the direction of the game industry from the monotonous table tennis sports competition to the action and shooting type.

Shigeru Miyamoto said that he had never been interested in video games before playing it.

Rengou's first arcade machine was a copycat of its idea.

After Kenzo Tsujimoto played it, he founded the predecessor of Card Bitch, and later the current Gafugen.

"I still remember the grand occasion at that time... At that time, the Asahi Shimbun's headline read——The Genius Boy Is His Daughter!"

The old man seemed to be waving his hand to show off the exciting title. Ten million yen back then was completely different from what it is now.

"Space Invaders" developed by Tomohiro Nishikabe became so popular that the publisher still felt that he was being treated badly even after the publisher gave him tens of millions of yen in bonuses.

The feedback from the market is even more shocking. Due to the unprecedented popularity of "Space Invaders", there is a serious shortage of 100 yen coins on the market.

The official Ministry of Finance, because of a game, had to announce the urgent minting of new coins and put them on the market...

"At that time, I didn't know anything about the new thing of video games, and I couldn't understand why there was such a grand event."

The assistant nodded, knowing that the old man was indeed getting old, and he wanted to remember the bitterness and sweetness again.

The bigger possibility is that Sitian is useless now, and everyone will suffer in the future anyway.

The collapse of the game industry, even if it will recover slowly, will be many years later. Who can survive these few years?

In the past few years, if a fool entered the field, it would be as unbelievable as trying to transform a desert into an oasis. Under the vicious circle, no grass will grow.

In comparison, the barrenness of the past should not be called barren, but full of vitality and endless potential.

"When I found the arcade hall, what I was greeted with was a turbid smell mixed with the smell of tobacco and sweat..."

"In the space of less than [-] square meters, there are many people sitting or standing crowded. These people should not appear together at all. Some of them have disheveled hair, some are ragged, and they are completely unemployed wanderers. They also have suits and leather shoes. At that time, almost all of the dozen or so consoles in the arcade were a game, and that was Space Invaders..."

In fact, that game assistant has also played, but in modern times, it is difficult to understand the excitement of those people at that time.

But he was still able to make up the scene——

The player manipulates the plane, dodges back and forth between obstacles and waits for an opportunity to shoot down the incoming alien flying saucer.

From time to time, accompanied by the monotonous electronic sound, there will be exaggerated exclamations in the crowd, and both the players and the bystanders are so selfless.

One after another, ding ding dong dong kept falling into the coin slot, ding ding dong dong, ding ding dong dong, all the sounds of money.

The president, who was still very young at that time, might have stood quietly in a corner watching all this, and the unusually boiling scene made his heart skip a beat.

In fact, the later president entered the game industry from the opportunity of making Space Invaders arcade machines for Taito Club.

Until later, the enthusiasm for Space Invaders has gradually subsided, and the new club began to plan to develop arcade games by itself.

And for the purpose of facilitating each of them to seek personal gain in the business of the club, he secretly formed a limited club.

Another shareholder, Yoshihiko Kodo, also established Shinri Enterprise Planning on his own. As a result of the secret struggle between the two, Tsujimoto, who holds the important position of president, of course gained the upper hand.

This is actually the way that Ai Rulong poached the corners of Ai's Group, established a company, and his business was tilted, his left hand turned his right, and he was a player and a referee.

In a rage, Gao Tang convened an emergency shareholders meeting, accusing the president of misappropriating the club's arcade boards for personal gain.

So he later resigned from the position of president of IREM, and founded the current Jiafugen, which can be regarded as a brilliant moment.

It's a pity that seeing the sky is falling, everyone is going to die, major manufacturers have started laying off employees, and the assistant feels that the water is deep and tired.

The president's reminiscence of bitterness and sweetness finally stopped, and his emotions calmed down a lot, but he didn't talk about any more struggles.

"You have been with me for several years." He turned his back to the assistant and looked at the neon lights outside the window: "You have your own judgment on the situation... let's go."

"President!"

"Let's go... find a new business, the game industry - it's dead!"

……

……

"……died?"

Aliya was shocked: "Atari?!"

Mr. Lei nodded: "I just got the news that Atari has officially entered the bankruptcy liquidation process. Their stock price fell below the previous level, and now they are now in bankruptcy liquidation. It has only been a few days?"

"..." Aliya subconsciously took out her phone and looked at the time. Did she travel back to 40 years ago?

God(TM) Atari collapsed—is this more terrifying than the uncle who came back from another world and heard that Sega collapsed—it has been dead for almost 40 years!

But the fact is that Aliya didn't pay attention to the game industry before, and now it's very strange to hear it suddenly.

But for people in this world, this is just a small change in one of the 360 ​​lines.

Aliya sighed, okay, now I understand the pissing nature of this world, everywhere is on the eve of industry change.

It's really just a commercial vacation script, waiting for myself to change the world again.

The mobile phone, stuck in the apple, just came out, and the era of a hundred flowers blooming together.

Entertainment, just happens to be the handover period when the old ones are not getting old and the new ones are rising.

Now the game is even better, and the industry structure of 40 years ago has been kicked back, just waiting for some unspeakable "Mingzhu" to join in the fun.

If Aliya wanted to make money, she could just lie down now, transfer all the funds of the Aishi Group to those game developers known to later generations, occupy the equity, and then wait until she counted the banknotes until her hands cramp.

It's like she can stop making mobile phones now, just stud Apple with her family, and wait for the other party to become the number one in the world, and everyone will have a black brick of the same style in the future.

But what's the point of that?

To be a human being, one must have a dream, a person without a dream is like a salted fish.

Alicia's heart fluttered, and a little bit of 'I want to play this' came out shamefully.

But looking at Mr. Lei's appearance, I feel a little guilty again - I treat him like a donkey these days, why don't I stop being so capricious?

I don't know since when, the relationship between Alia and Mr. Lei became inexplicably the relationship between Li Shimin and Wei Zheng, or similar.

If you don't agree with me, please advise, Your Majesty, you have to respect yourself, and you have to take the country, the country, the country, and the people of the world as your own responsibility.

Miss, you have to work hard, you have to think about the family business left by your parents, you have to think about these 10,000+ brothers and sisters who live together.

The difference is that Wei Zheng doesn't like Li Shimin's playing with things and losing his mind, while Mr. Lei just wants Alia to play with what she likes by herself instead of messing around.

What can a girl like?Jewelry, bags, travel, punching cards and taking pictures, it’s not a big deal to add some handsome guys when you’re exhausted.

On the contrary, Alia's current way of hammering a hammer here and there, buying whatever she catches at a one-off price, is a bit of a headache for Mr. Lei.

It's not just a question of money, it's more that this style of buying, buying, and buying is not conducive to Alia's development, nor is it conducive to the step-by-step development of Aishi Group.

It's probably the difference between such a trivial matter as the 72 concubines of the Sangong, Sangong and Sixth Courtyards of the faint-hearted, and the conscripting of civilian husbands to build canals and the Great Wall at every turn.

The former is at best a sensual guy, it doesn't hurt if he doesn't go to court for more than [-] years, someone supports him.

The latter has to be Emperor Sui Yang, brave is brave, but the Eighteenth Route Anti-kings are watching!

Alia was pacing in the living room. The huge living room seemed empty. This was the presidential suite of this hotel.

The negotiating team of the Aishi Group directly covered the top three floors of this hotel, which can be described as rich and powerful.

After all, if you want to come out to negotiate, you must not lose your position first.

You can't wave banknotes to inject capital into the other party. When others see that you are saving money in a small hotel, they will have no strength.

The Ai Group has done enough to save face, so much so that before entering the hotel, some people wondered if some important person came...

Alia turned around a few times in the living room where she was able to run: "Do you think the game industry has collapsed, and do you think it has a big impact?"
