Chapter 0196 The world's first arcade game
Soon, highly nervous people like Zhou Xinian and Henry Keswick breathed a sigh of relief.
Because, Huifeng Taipan Sangda Shi made it clear that he hopes that Huanyu Electronics' shareholding structure will be stable and that it can safely develop its main business.
Accordingly, Gao Xianxun made a statement, and what Sir Sandus said was absolutely true. As a representative of the electronics industry in Hong Kong, Huanyu Electronics should focus on developing its main business.
Seeing that he was about to retire from the position of Huifeng's senior class this year, and Gao Xian was still so kind and humble, Sangda Shi was very happy, and then highly praised Gao Xian as the most outstanding young entrepreneur in Hong Kong.
You must know that Sundarshi is still in the position of Huifeng's top class. Such affirmation of Gao Xian is tantamount to expressing Huifeng's support for Gao Xianzhan's position.
Zhou Xinian and Henry Keswick felt sad about this, but they were also secretly glad that Gao Xian, a wild horse, had Huifeng as a bridle to restrain him.
How could these people know that in Gao Xian's eyes, Huifeng was always just a top wet nurse, not his "bridle".
Although Gao Xian responded to Sundarshi's request and would not exchange the shares of Huanyu Electronics for the shares of the Milk Company, this did not mean that he could not use the resources of Huanyu Electronics in the process of fighting for control of the Dairy Company.
As Gao Xian emphasized to reporters, Shanghua Culture's business is not just about movies and TV series.
Now, Gao Xian has brought Shanghua Culture into contact with Huanyu Electronics, thereby helping Shanghua Culture enter a new field - electronic games.
One thing must be pointed out, that is, at this stage, electronic games have just begun to appear as commercial entertainment media. Previously, electronic games were all made by talented engineers who used precious public resources behind the back of their leaders to do whatever they pleased.
Gadgets that come out, within a limited scope, for free entertainment.
At the same time, there are currently only two operating environments for electronic games, namely computers in American universities and the newly emerged arcade machines.
In addition, I have to say that the technical threshold for arcade machines at this time was too low. A few engineers with a serious technical level could easily handle it.
Obviously, computers in American universities are by no means commercial platforms, and coin-operated arcade machines are the most suitable choice.
According to Gao Xian's technical reserve plan, arcade machines similar to the first generation Universal Computer, which use transistor circuits instead of microprocessors, are already waiting to be installed. The only difference is the timing.
Now, the time has come.
Following the American table tennis team's visit to China last year, as a courtesy, the Chinese table tennis team will soon visit the United States.
With table tennis diplomacy, Kissinger's secret visit to China, Nixon's visit to China, and the Chinese table tennis team's upcoming return visit to the United States, table tennis has naturally become a hot topic at the moment.
The world's first arcade game launched by Gao Xian is a 2D sports game that conforms to this trend.
In a virtual table tennis game, the player controls the table tennis racket, moves it up and down to bounce the table tennis ball, and competes with another player or the computer.
Because it was entirely promoted by Gao Xian, the profit distribution was very simple. He had the final say. The software belonged to Shanghua Culture, and Huanyu Electronics was responsible for the hardware production.
After Huanyu Electronics chose the industrial park in Singapore to build its production base, the status of the factory in the industrial building in Xiangjiang declined rapidly. In addition, the sales of Huanyu-88oo calculators in the US market shrank significantly, and production capacity had to be adjusted downwards.
.
These extra manufacturing capabilities are now being used to produce arcade machines that have the same technical threshold as calculators and are not as high.
Gao Xian is quite looking forward to the performance of the arcade machine.
Because, compared to calculators, which can attract the covetousness of large companies, arcade machines are simply dismissed in the eyes of large companies; and those small workshop-style followers, although the competition is also fierce, are often unwilling to do so due to lack of funds.
Spending money on patents leads to loss of market defense.
Even though this arcade game was developed according to Gao Xian's instructions, when Gao Xian played it himself, he clearly felt that this thing was so stupid!
However, when he saw Zhou Wenyao having a great time when he came back from the United States, Gao Xian felt relieved again. People nowadays do not have such high demands for entertainment.
Any new business model is determined after repeated research and practice.
But Gao Xian already had a "score" in mind, so there was no need to go through this boring process.
Therefore, Gao Xian directly ordered Zhou Wenyao to airlift the first batch of twenty machines to the United States, then contact bars in the Los Angeles area and ask them to place them there, and the coin-op income would be equally divided between the two parties.
Zhou Wenyao scratched his head, "But these machines are still not sold."
Gao Xian laughed, "When more people play, it will help the bar attract customers, and the machine will naturally be sold."
Zhou Wenyao thought for a while and found that this was true, so he nodded and said: "I understand. I will definitely find a group of famous bars for pilot projects."
"Don't be obsessed with whether the bar is famous or not." Gao Xian waved his hand and said: "Bars with fewer customers may have a more obvious effect of driving customer flow."
Zhou Wenyao slapped his thigh in sudden realization, "I really understand this time."
Gao Xian warned again: "After the machine is placed in the bar, remember to post the patent statement in a prominent position, so as to resist the inevitable trend of imitation as much as possible."
…
After Zhou Wenyao took the order and left, Gao Xian waited for the commercial benefits that the table tennis craze would bring to him.
But at this stage, wanting to enjoy some peace is purely a luxury.
Soon, Li Ruoxi, general manager of Jindong, hurriedly came over to report the news, "I just got a certain piece of information. Sir Zhou and others are planning to let the milk company issue new shares. This is obviously to dilute Jindong's shares in the milk company!"
"It's understandable that those small investors are crazy. Are Zhou Xinian and Ke Lun also crazy?" Gao Xian sneered: "Now, on average, a new stock is listed every three days. Everyone is used to 'launching new', so
I believe that 'innovation' can bring in money quickly, so why do dairy companies think that their stocks are so attractive?"
Li Ruoxi understood and said: "Then I will just pour a basin of cold water on them to wake them up."
"It doesn't have to be so straightforward. When Zhou Xinian delayed the meeting of the board of directors, we can also learn to delay it." Gao Xian mused: "Whether Zhou Xinian and Kelun focus on instigating the milk company to issue new stocks, then everyone can
Fight for shares before the annual general meeting."
