After listening to Zhao Xiaoyan's report, Li Guangyu said: "You have to make the sales department fully prepared, and at the same time contact Xiangyu Group and Jiayi Group to let them do more publicity for our home game consoles. We must let our families
Game consoles are off to a good start.”
Li Xuemei said: "Don't worry, Li Sheng. Our group's games have cultivated a lot of fans for us in arcades. I believe that with the cooperation of Xiangyu and Jiayi, we will definitely be able to occupy a place in the home game console market."
Li Guangyu is also optimistic about this. You must know that the popular games of Xingyu Group are very popular in the market. The launch of home game consoles will definitely be welcomed by many families. After all, they can be played at home at any time.
Then Li Guangyu asked Yamamoto Shigeru: "Mr. Yamamoto, how are the several new games at the game development company being completed?"
Shigehui Yamamoto reported: "Li Sheng, it will take some time for my own team to complete Super Mario. I believe it will be completed in December. The Twelve Street Fighter developed by Mr. Ren Yugang is nearing completion and I believe it will be completed next month."
Complete various tests and put it into the market. The game currently being tested by the company is Mr. Toru Iwatani's Pac-Man, which will be put into the market soon."
Li Guangyu is not sure whether the game Pac-Man can be successful. He had never played this game in his previous life.
Li Guangyu said: "I just happened to be here today. Xuemei, please come with me and Mr. Yamamoto to have a look. Qin Peng, Xinyu, Xiaoyan, you go and do your own business."
After Li Guangyu and others came to the Pac-Man development team, they watched the testers' tests while listening to Toru Iwatani's detailed introduction to the game design.
After seeing this game, Li Guangyu felt that there should still be a market for this game. Although it is not as popular with boys as Contra and Twelve Street Fighter, it should have a market among girls.
Li Guangyu still knew too little about this aspect in his previous life. He only knew some games he had played and the names of some developed games he had seen in novels. Among them, Yamamoto Shigeru and Yokoi Gunpei were more familiar to him. As for the others,
He didn't know what a great person he was.
After watching the tests for a while, Li Guangyu encouraged Iwatani Toru to keep up his efforts, and then left the game development department.
Li Guangyu still likes more exciting games, such as King of Fighters, Contra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and MapleStory. Li Guangyu is not too interested in such casual puzzle games.
After returning to the office, Li Guangyu said to Li Xuemei: "You also need to promote the game Pac-Man, and at the same time find the right direction in terms of positioning."
Li Xuemei said: "Don't worry, Li Sheng, we know how to do it. I think this game is pretty good, especially for girls, they still like this aspect of the game."
Li Guangyu didn't know much about the game market, so he didn't say much to avoid being slapped in the face, which would not look good. In the eyes of the Li Group, he has always had excellent vision and has never been wrong.
Yes, if he predicts this game wrong this time, his myth will be shattered.
Li Guangyu warned: "We must pay attention to this aspect, but the group's main focus should still be on home game consoles. At the same time, because our group has too few games, you need to arrange personnel to go to Japan to acquire the game copyrights of some game development companies.
"
"Okay Li Sheng, I will make arrangements." Li Xuemei said.
Li Guangyu considered that for some good games, the development company may not be able to directly sell the copyright to Xingyu Group, and is more thinking about sales stratification.
Li Guangyu said to Li Xuemei: "When negotiating with Japanese game companies, try to acquire their copyrights. If that doesn't work, talk to them about sales tiers."
Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, if we talk about layering, do we need to make a single game card so that we can have a clearer understanding of the sales volume of a game."
Li Guangyu considered that this problem does exist. If several games are produced into one card, game fans will not know which game they bought for, and they will not be able to tell which game has a higher sales volume. It is estimated that those game development companies will also
Not willing.
Li Guangyu said: "Your group will study this matter, and pay attention to calculating the cost. It is best not to sell a single game card for more than 50 US dollars."
"Okay Li Sheng, we will pay attention to this issue." Li Xuemei replied.
Then Li Guangyu asked Li Xuemei about the printed circuit board company. These few months have passed and whether the production costs there have dropped.
Li Xuemei replied: "Li Sheng, in the third quarter, we sent more than a dozen middle managers to Seiko Epson Company to study. At the same time, Mr. Yamada Hara Takeshi also sent several supervisors to train the managers of our printed circuit board company.
Now the cost has dropped to a certain extent.”
When Li Guangyu heard Li Xuemei's answer, he knew that the current effect was not very good, and Li Guangyu had no good solution.
Li Guangyu asked: "Xuemei, what difficulties does the printed circuit board company currently have that cause our costs to be too high?"
Li Xuemei and several group executives have also put a lot of thought into this company, but no matter what they do, they are always unable to achieve the desired results, and the product qualification rate is always unable to compare with Seiko Epson.
Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, the main problem now is our employees. There is still a big gap between us and Seiko Epson in this regard. It may take a long time to catch up with Seiko Epson."
Li Guangyu also knows that this is mainly due to the difference in education levels between the two sides. Most of the employees at Seiko Epson Company have received some vocational education, while many of Li Guangyu’s company’s employees have not graduated from middle school or even elementary school.
There are also.
Li Guangyu said: "Our group can afford to wait, as long as our own production is lower than what we import from Japan, then we will not lose money."
"Don't worry, Li Sheng. We are still confident about this goal. Today, the cost of printed circuit board companies is only slightly higher than the price we import from Japan. It is much better than before. I believe that by the end of the year, it will be equal to the import price."
It’s even." Li Xuemei said.
Li Guangyu said: "In this regard, we need to learn more from Seiko Epson's experience, and regularly arrange personnel to go to their company to communicate and learn without interruption. At the same time, we also ask Mr. Yamada Hara Takeshi to regularly arrange for their company's supervisors and technicians to come and inspect our company."
Employees are trained.”
"Li Sheng, I will make arrangements." Li Xuemei said.
After Li Guangyu and Li Xuemei chatted about the game company for a while, they left Xingyu Group and went to Jiayi Building.
