After the Spring Festival, Xingyu Group got its first good start for the Lee Group. The long-prepared Super Mario, developed by Shigeru Yamamoto, was officially launched on the market at the end of February.
Since Xingyu Electronic Game Group has a high reputation in various regions today, and this game is indeed a classic, Super Mario has been welcomed by dealers everywhere as soon as it was released.
On February 25, after breakfast, Li Guangyu came to the Xingyu Group headquarters in the International Building.
Li Guangyu was very happy after listening to Vice President Wang Xinyu's sales of Super Mario. In less than a week, Xingyu Game Group received orders for more than 100,000 arcade machines, and the profit here was
More than 300 million Hong Kong dollars.
The gaming industry is indeed a money-making industry. Whether it is today’s arcade machines, home game consoles that are about to be brilliant, or even later computer online games and mobile games, they are all money-printing machines. If you think about the Penguin Group in later generations, you will know that this industry is very profitable.
.
Li Guangyu said to Wang Xinyu: "Our sales department will explore more new markets and strive to raise our sales volume to a higher level."
"Li Sheng can rest assured that our group has made corresponding arrangements and is currently developing the Canadian market." Wang Xinyu said.
Li Guangyu then said to Li Xuemei: "Xuemei, our Super Mario game card sales will be delayed for three months to avoid affecting our arcade sales."
Li Xuemei also knew that premature sales of game cards would definitely have an impact on arcade sales, so she had already had ideas about this.
Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, we plan to consider selling game cards when the sales potential of Super Mario in arcades is almost exhausted. We estimate this time will be three to six months."
Li Guangyu has no objection to this. It would be better to do it later, so that more sales can be achieved in arcade machines.
Li Guangyu said: "As for the specific sales of the game, you can make arrangements based on the actual situation."
Li Guangyu then asked Yamamoto Shigeru: "Mr. Yamamoto, thank you for your contribution to the development of the company. In addition to the bonus given to your development team by the group, I am giving out a reward of two million Hong Kong dollars."
Shigeru Yamamoto said happily: "Thank you, Li Sheng. It was mainly because of your idea that we developed this game. We don't dare to take credit."
Li Guangyu really didn't dare to take credit. This was originally Shigeru Yamamoto's idea, but in this life, Li Guangyu took it out in advance for Shigeru Yamamoto to develop. He just stole Shigeru Yamamoto's things. Besides, Li Guangyu also
I just mentioned that the specific development was done by Shigeru Yamamoto, but Li Guangyu could not develop this game by himself.
Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Yamamoto, you don't have to be modest. Our senior management will keep your contribution in mind. We also hope that you will continue to lead the game development company and provide our group with more high-quality game products."
Yamamoto Shigeru said: "Li Sheng, we will work hard to provide excellent games for the group to live up to the group's trust in us."
Shigeru Yamamoto is very happy working in Xingyu Group, and he is very grateful to Li Guangyu for taking him seriously. The year before last, he was just an underappreciated employee within Nintendo. In less than two years after joining Xingyu Group, he
He became the general manager and group director of the company, something he had never dared to think about before.
Li Guangyu asked Yamamoto Shigeru: "Mr. Yamamoto, what game projects does the game company currently have?"
"Li Sheng, Mr. Toru Iwatani is currently developing a game called "Geometry Magic", which is similar to the type of Pac-Man he developed. I now have some ideas for the next game, and it will take some time.
Mr. Ren Yugang is currently involved in the development of Street Fighter 2." Yamamoto Shigeru replied.
Li Guangyu said to him: "Don't worry, our company currently has many games that are selling well. We have plenty of time. The quality of the games is the most important."
"Don't worry, Mr. Li, we will strive to complete the development of the game as soon as possible while ensuring quality." Shigeru Yamamoto said.
After the meeting, Li Guangyu stayed with Li Xuemei and discussed with her some of the group's plans for this year.
Li Guangyu said: "Xuemei, this year we at the Japanese company need to contact more game development companies and try to get them to transfer the copyrights of the games they develop to us. Today we still have too few games on home game consoles."
Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, I have already informed Wang Liwen, general manager of the Japanese branch, about this aspect. He will focus on handling this matter this year."
Li Guangyu still has some understanding of Wang Liwen, who is quite capable. Xingyu Group has achieved great success in the sales of home game consoles in Japan, which has a huge relationship with Wang Liwen's work.
Li Guangyu said: "This reassures me. Your main work this year is still on the home game console. Our design must be continuously improved. Otherwise, after other game companies' products are launched, we will have no way to fight back."
means."
"Okay Li Sheng, I will arrange this." Li Xuemei said.
Li Guangyu said: "There is another important thing this year. Our current arcade chips still need to be imported from Seiko Epson. In this regard, I plan to do it ourselves. You send people to negotiate with Texas Instruments in the United States to buy their
The technology we use in today’s arcades. They now have new technology, and the technology in this area is lagging behind. I think they are willing to sell it.”
Of course, Li Guangyu also wanted to acquire the latest technology, but unfortunately he knew that this was impossible, so he could only arrange for Li Xuemei to negotiate for the acquisition of relatively backward technologies. As long as he had this foundation, Li Guangyu poured in funds and borrowed
Li Guangyu believes that the talents on Baodao can still be developed.
The new semiconductor company Li Guangyu plans to establish is located in the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, where there are still many talents. Later semiconductor companies such as TSMC were developed here. Li Guangyu now has an advantage over them and has more funds.
Even more powerful, he still doesn’t believe that he can’t develop.
Li Xuemei said: "Okay Li Sheng, I will contact the US branch and Texas Instruments first. After I have the intention, I will go to the United States to discuss with Texas Instruments in person and strive to obtain a series of chip technologies for arcade machines as soon as possible.
"
The main reason is that the technical content of this thing is a bit high, and Li Guangyu can't play with it himself, so he can only acquire some technologies, such as various processors. The main reason why Li Guangyu set up this company in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park instead of Xiangjiang is
There are not many talents in this field in Xiangjiang. Li Guangyu wants the company to develop well, and now only Baodao is more suitable.
Li Guangyu said: "Yuemei, don't be impatient. We have plenty of time. We can buy it within this year. The Hsinchu Science and Technology Park has not been completed yet. I plan to establish a company after it is completed there."
Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, isn't that a bit late? We will wait until the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park is completed, and after our company is built, it will probably not be until the second half of next year."
"It doesn't matter if it's late. This way you have more time to negotiate with Texas Instruments and contact other semiconductor companies." Li Guangyu said.
"Okay Li Sheng, I will ask the United States to investigate more semiconductor companies for reference."
