On October 13th, after having breakfast, Li Guangyu rushed to Xingyu Group accompanied by Du Yonghong and others. Yesterday, Li Xuemei brought him good news. The group's first home game console has been developed.
Li Guangyu made a special trip to the group today to see what the differences were between what the group developed and what he told them about, and the Baby Overlord game console he played when he was a child.
After Li Guangyu arrived at the group, he did not go to his office, but went directly to the game design company.
When Shigeru Yamamoto saw Li Guangyu arriving, he immediately came up to him and bowed to say hello.
Li Guangyu smiled and said: "Mr. Yamamoto, there is no need to be so polite, and our group does not need to bow to the leadership."
Although Yamamoto Shigeru heard Li Guangyu say this many times, he still did it.
Yamamoto Shigeru said: "Li Sheng, this is how I express my respect and gratitude to you. If Xingyu Group hadn't given me this opportunity, I might still be a dispensable person at Nintendo today.
"
Li Guangyu no longer tried to persuade him. He had told him many times that he still wanted to do this, and there was nothing Li Guangyu could do.
Li Guangyu said: "Yesterday, Ms. Li Xuemei said that your home game console has been developed?"
Yamamoto Shigeru immediately replied: "Yes, Li Sheng, after nearly a year, our family game development department has finally lived up to the trust of you and the group's senior management. It officially completed various developments last month and now has two games."
The prototype test yesterday confirmed that there is basically no problem."
Perhaps the senior management of the group knew that he had come here. While Li Guangyu and Shigeru Yamamoto were discussing, Li Xuemei, Qin Peng, Zhao Xiaoyan, and Wang Xinyu all came here.
After seeing several people arriving, Li Guangyu said: "Let's go see the specific testing situation of the game console first, and then discuss the next thing."
Shigeru Yamamoto led a group of senior executives to the game console project development team. At this time, Gong Qiming, manager of the game console development department, was asking two testers to test two prototypes.
When Li Guangyu saw these two prototypes, he still felt a sense of familiarity. The shape of this game console is just a box with a card slot for installing game cards. The operating handle of the game console is also according to Li Guangyu's instructions.
Made by , the direction cross keys are not much different from the ones I played when I was a child.
At this time, I was playing two games, Xingyu Cube and Tank Battle, developed by Xingyu Company.
Li Guangyu asked: "Manager Gong, are there any problems with this game console at present? Can it be finalized and produced?"
Gong Qiming replied confidently: "Li Sheng, after these days of testing and improvement, we have found no problems with this home game console and can now enter the production plan."
After hearing this, Li Guangyu said: "Your department has worked hard in the past year, Mr. Yamamoto. Their department's bonus will be doubled. At the same time, the department will have a one-week holiday and just keep maintenance personnel."
After hearing this, Gong Qiming said happily: "Thank you Li Sheng, I will make arrangements for the people left behind."
Li Guangyu then asked the tester who played Tank Battle to start over, and Li Guangyu and he played the game together. Li Guangyu played this game when he was a child, and now he plays it in this way, and his heart is full.
remember.
It may be that Li Guangyu hasn't played with this thing for a long time, and his skills are really not that good, which seriously hindered the testers.
After Li Guangyu felt fresh for a while, he came to the conference room with Li Xuemei and others. At the same time, Zhang Ziyu had already arrived.
Zhang Ziyu saw Li Guangyu coming and said, "Li Sheng, I'm sorry, I'm late today."
Zhang Ziyu has never been late since she became Li Guangyu's assistant. After confirming Li Guangyu's itinerary on the first day, she usually arrived early, but today she arrived after Li Guangyu had been at Xingyu Group for so long.
here.
Li Guangyu asked: "Ziyu, what's the matter with you?"
"Sorry Li Sheng, my mommy is in hospital, so I'm late today." Zhang Ziyu said.
At this time, Li Guangyu did not blame her for being late, but asked: "Ziyu, is Aunt Yan serious? Does she need my help?"
Zhang Ziyu replied: "Thank you Li Sheng for your concern. She is also feeling unwell due to fatigue. She should just rest more."
Li Guangyu said at this time: "Ziyu, your salary is not low now, right? Like the vice president, your annual salary is 1.2 million. Why don't you let your parents quit their tiring jobs and do something light?"
When Zhang Ziyu heard what Li Guangyu said, she felt aggrieved. She had already tried to persuade her parents, but they didn't listen. They wanted to make more money and help their younger brother more in the future. What could I do?
Zhang Ziyu said: "Li Sheng, I have tried to persuade them, but there is nothing I can do if they continue to do it. I will discuss it with them again after this time."
It was not convenient for Li Guangyu to ask too much about Zhang Ziyu's family affairs, so he said to Zhang Ziyu: "I will give you two days off. You can spend these two days in the hospital with your mother."
"Thank you Li Sheng, no need. My mommy is accompanied by my father and brother now, and I am not the only one left." Zhang Ziyu said.
Li Guangyu said: "You have rarely had holidays since you became an assistant. These two days of leave should be regarded as your compensation for the past few months. You can also spend more time with your family."
Seeing that Li Guangyu insisted on giving him a vacation, Zhang Ziyu stopped insisting and said to Li Guangyu, "Thank you, Li Sheng."
After Zhang Ziyu said goodbye to Li Guangyu, she hurried to the hospital again.
After Zhang Ziyu left, Li Guangyu asked: "Xuemei, how much does one of our home game consoles cost approximately?"
Li Xuemei replied: "Li Sheng, our most expensive chip today is mainly IC chips, which cost 12 US dollars each, and a home game console costs 65 US dollars."
Li Guangyu then asked: "What about our game cards? How much does a game card cost?"
Vice President Wang Xinyu said: "Li Sheng, it is relatively cheap in this regard. Since the games are developed by our group, there is no copyright issue. It only needs to be transplanted to the game card. Now we have three games installed on one game card.
The games are Donkey Kong, Cube, and Tank Battle, and the cost is US$60.”
Li Guangyu also knows that since the electronics industry has only just emerged, the prices of various original configurations today are relatively high, and they are not as cheap as those of later generations.
Li Guangyu asked: "Vice President Zhao Xiaoyan, how does the sales department plan? What is our ex-factory price?"
Zhao Xiaoyan had obviously already discussed it. After Li Guangyu asked, she immediately replied: "Li Sheng, we plan to sell the game in a bundle for the first time. The game console and game card will be sold at the same time. The ex-factory price is set at US$199."
Li Guangyu has no objection to the price. It is still very suitable today. Naturally, it cannot be compared with arcade machines. The profit of an arcade machine is several hundred dollars, which is only a few dozen dollars in profit. However, the market for home game consoles is much broader.
, and the sales volume is much higher than that of arcade machines.
Li Guangyu asked: "What about game cards? How do you plan to sell them here?"
Zhao Xiaoyan replied: "Li Sheng, in this regard we plan to implement three-in-one game cards. The ex-factory price of each game card is US$99."
Li Guangyu said: "Now we just want to complete our production as soon as possible. How is our group arranged in this regard?"
"Li Sheng, we currently plan to have the Wu family do the manufacturing for us. Our arcade production company is also adjusting the production line, and they can also provide part of the output." Li Xuemei said.
Li Guangyu does not want to expand the factory area in this area. Except for some chips, printed circuit boards and other technical things, the rest can be handed over to companies in Xiangjiang for production and assembly. Xingyu Group only needs to provide samples.
This can also reduce the management difficulty of Xingyu Group.
