After school starts, Su Mingzhe will be a senior in high school.
After two months of training by Su Mingzhe, Chen Jianghe has grown taller, about 1.5 meters tall, and his strength has begun to approach that of a normal adult.
Coupled with the special training given to him by Su Mingzhe, Chen Jianghe can already "stand like a pine, sit like a bell, walk like the wind, and lie down like a bow."
Compared with his previous self, Chen Jianghe can even shout:
"I'm going to hit ten!"
"From now on, the hunting at home will be left to you."
Su Mingzhe gently patted Chen Jianghe's shoulder, his eyes filled with relief.
A few years ago, Su Mingzhe never left Pujiang day and night because he had a grandpa at home who needed to be taken care of.
In the past six months, Su Mingzhe had no intention of running away because of his grandfather's death.
Now, he has picked up a male protagonist, Chen Jianghe, and Su Mingzhe has entrusted the Su clan members to his care. He just wants to go out and see the world.
Chen Jianghe thought this was a test from his elder brother, and immediately nodded:
"Brother, you can go to school with peace of mind. Just leave the family matters to me."
After hearing Chen Jianghe's assurance, Su Mingzhe smiled:
"I will feel at ease if I leave the matter to you, but if you encounter anything, remember to tell me."
Su Mingzhe said, leaving an incarnation behind to stay in Pujiang instead of himself, he flew directly across thousands of mountains and rivers and came to Xiangjiang.
In Xiangjiang in the 1970s, the four major detectives and the four major families declined one after another.
Last year, the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established, and the situation began to change drastically.
Seeing that the Hong Kong governor seemed determined to build Hong Kong, the common people were full of hope for life, and economic construction was developing rapidly.
When Su Mingzhe arrived in Xiangjiang, the first thing he did was to get his identity document.
Last year, Xiangjiang began to practice the "resistance policy".
The so-called "holding the barrier" means that as long as mainland illegal immigrants run to Xiangjiang City, they can receive official identity documents.
That's how Su Mingzhe got a certificate, using the pseudonym 'Ye Song'.
Xiangjiang’s ID card has now been updated to the third generation.
The identity documents of the first two generations were all in English.
As the colonized people, the Chinese have their names written on it by hand in traditional Chinese characters.
It can be said that the colonial meaning is very strong.
In 1973, the third generation of identity documents appeared, with Chinese signs next to the English.
After receiving the certificate, Su Mingzhe got some gold and silver from the sea, found some pawn shops, and easily earned his first pot of gold.
In fact, the price of gold this year is not high.
The international market price is only US$100 per ounce.
In five years, the price will skyrocket to 800 US dollars, an increase of eight times in five years.
Therefore, Su Mingzhe just got some start-up capital and stopped selling.
After getting money, the first thing Su Mingzhe did was to open a game console factory.
The 1970s and 1980s were the years when Nintendo exploded in popularity.
Su Mingzhe has programmer technology, photolithography machine technology, and a series of other related technologies in his mind. It is not easy to replicate Nintendo's successful route.
As for the name of the game company, Su Mingzhe thought about it for a long time and named his future company "Overlord".
The first-generation game console designed by Su Mingzhe was the "Little Overlord" handheld console, which directly introduced the LCD screen mode.
This move was considered a historical precedent in the 1970s.
The main games in this handheld console are Tetris.
Su Mingzhe is too lazy to come up with a new name.
After having the "Baby" handheld console that could play Tetris, Su Mingzhe began researching and making a "Super Mario" family game console.
This is not difficult.
In less than a month, Bawang Game Company, a company registered in Xiangjiang, launched two new game consoles and two games.
These two games and the game console became popular all over the world once they were launched because of their simple gameplay, easy portability, and low price.
Various orders are flying towards Bawang Company like snowflakes.
Among them, handheld consoles have the largest number of orders, with orders for more than five million units received in just one month.
Based on the ex-factory price of fifteen yuan for a handheld console, the company has reduced its profit to about one yuan.
Labor costs, electricity costs, and raw material costs account for the bulk of this.
And these costs will not be reduced for a while.
Su Mingzhe asked the factory to increase the number of production lines to ten, and also adopted three shifts a day for production.
Driven by such intense production, the factory produces more than 50,000 handheld consoles per day.
With such a production speed, if you want to complete all orders, it will take three or four months after the order is placed.
On this day, Su Mingzhe was in the office, programming "Contra" when he heard a knock on the door and opened the door to let someone in.
The sales manager rushed in: "Boss, we received another million-dollar order today. The number of orders for handheld consoles is really too many. Should we increase the price? Or double the production line?"
"The price cannot change, but the production line can continue to increase."
Su Mingzhe glanced at the sales manager coldly and reminded: "Our pricing is low, so that we can suppress the emergence of competitors. If our prices are high and other large consortiums see profits, they will not care about patent laws. They will definitely
It will steal business."
Patent law has been introduced around the world for several years, but many countries have adopted a very "ambiguous" approach to this patent law.
That is to say, this kind of patent law only protects their domestic companies, even local companies.
For foreign companies, these patent laws do not apply.
Piracy is prevalent in many countries, especially those so-called developed countries.
At this stage, piracy of eagle sauce is the most prosperous.
Speaking of the pirated market for eagle sauce, John Bull almost cried.
Because the Eagle Sauce side is most keen on pirating John Bull products.
And John Bull himself pirated it.
Speaking of John Bull's pirated market, Gallic Chicken and the friends around him cried.
Because most of the John Bull pirated products are products from countries such as Gallic Chicken.
Anyway, when these countries do piracy, you pirate mine, I pirate yours, and everyone pirates each other.
The real crackdown on piracy will not come to an end until 20 years later, when developed countries allow the WTO to officially operate in order to safeguard their rights and interests.
Therefore, even if Su Mingzhe sent people to register his patents all over the world, he would not dare to rely on his technology and uniqueness of the game to make money around the world.
The sales manager feels that his boss has delusions of being persecuted, but he is just a worker. He will listen to whatever the boss says:
"Boss, we already have ten production lines, how many more should we add?"
"We can increase it as much as we can. As long as we can ensure that the workers' operating skills are good, the raw materials can be supplied, and the quality can pass the standard, then we can keep increasing it."
After Su Mingzhe finished giving his instructions, he saw that the sales manager was still not leaving, so he frowned and asked:
"Do you have anything else to do?"
"Boss, the finance department said that there is almost no money in the account."
The sales manager smiled bitterly:
"Only part of the deposit was paid for those orders. In the past month or so, we have been buying factories, customizing machines and equipment, training employees, and purchasing materials. The money in our accounts has bottomed out."
"Then inform all customers that future orders will require full payment. Our goods will be given priority to customers who have paid full payment. Those who have only paid deposits and deposits will be delayed in delivery time."
Nowadays, the Little Overlord handheld game is booming. With demand exceeding supply, Su Mingzhe is the boss of course.
Those customers who want goods must send money first, and the payment must be in full.
After hearing this, the sales manager nodded quickly and left.
After sending away the sales manager, Su Mingzhe contacted the logistics manager.
After a while, the logistics manager came over, and Su Mingzhe gave him a direct order to communicate with the raw material supplier, on the one hand to lower the price, and on the other hand to talk about late payment.
[To be honest, I have been using Yeguoyuedu recently to read and catch up on new books. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www.yeguoyuedu.com is available for Android and Apple.]
Originally, Bawang Games had just been established, so raw material suppliers required cash on hand.
Now, the Overlord game has become very popular, and it can completely control the upstream raw material suppliers.
The logistics manager listened and nodded quickly in agreement.
Solved the sales and logistics, as well as funding issues.
Su Mingzhe continued to program "Contra" with his head down.
The game "Contra" is a little more difficult to master than "Super Mario", but it didn't make Su Mingzhe waste much time.
Another month later, when winter came, the design was completed.
As Christmas approaches, "Contra" is officially launched.
Sales of home game consoles have skyrocketed again with the popularity of "Super Mario" and "Contra", and the number of orders has also increased from hundreds of thousands to the million mark.
The ex-factory price of home game consoles is much more expensive than the ex-factory price of handheld consoles, which is a full one hundred and fifty yuan.
Of course, the ex-factory price of home game consoles may be a bit expensive compared to handheld consoles.
Su Mingzhe's ex-factory price is 150 yuan, but because there is a price but no market, the selling price on the counter is generally more than 500 yuan. Even so, there is a price but no market.
These distributors are so damn black!
However, Su Mingzhe also started to steal the chicken and went abroad to buy the rights to use the game names of Marvel, DC and other superheroes. This purchase is a permanent right.
After obtaining the rights to use the game names of these superheroes, Su Mingzhe began to study games such as "Superman" and "Batman".
In addition, Su Mingzhe also studied domestic games such as "Heroes of the Three Kingdoms" and "Heroes of the Water Margin".
In a blink of an eye.
Time comes to the winter of 1977.
Bawang Game Company was founded two years ago and has sold more than 80 million handheld consoles, more than 3 million home game consoles, and more than 20 million various game cards.
In just two years, the game company has earned nearly 100 million yuan in profits by relying on small profits but quick turnover.
The company still has more than one billion in customer payments on its books.
All this money was used by Su Mingzhe to buy gold.
After two years of price decline in 1974 and 1975, gold prices began to rise again in 1976 and 1977.
Keeping money in the bank will obviously not appreciate as quickly as buying gold.
Today, Su Mingzhe has more than three billion worth of gold to his name.
It may be that Su Mingzhe's aggressive shopping spree created the butterfly effect.
The current price of gold on the market is much higher than the original historical price, reaching US$300 per ounce.
I don’t know if the price will rise to 800 US dollars.
