In the last few days of the year, Li Jianhui was in a very happy mood. Not only did his relationship with Chen Xinyi improve, but the development speed of the company's Little Bee also surprised him.
I don’t know if Wang Haichuan deliberately wanted to compete with Toru Iwatani, but he forced the development of the game Little Bee to be developed more than a month ahead of Li Jianhui’s plan.
At present, Pac-Man has been on sale for less than half a month, and products in North America and Western Europe are still on the way. Little Bee is launched on the market at this time, and it can compete fairly with Pac-Man.
Originally, Li Jianhui planned to give company employees a few days off on New Year's Day so that everyone could have a good rest.
It's just that the plan can't keep up with the changes, and making money is still important now. Therefore, on New Year's Day, citizens in many areas are celebrating the New Year. Except for the employees of the technology development department, everyone at Huihong Game Company has to work overtime to promote the launch of Little Bee.
Employees at the production base are also working overtime. Starting from the 1st, two shifts will be officially implemented there, and the daily output is as high as 1,200 units.
The popularity of Xiangjiang cubes has not diminished, and the production of 400 units still needs to be maintained every day. The production of Pac-Man and Bee is also maintained at 400 units.
Jinling Game Hall Company has become a trial site for Huihong Game Company’s new games. Every time a new game comes out, the first thing you enter is Jinling Game Hall, and this time is no exception.
At the same time, in the Tokyo office, Los Angeles office, New York office, Singapore office, etc., Huihong Game Company's sales managers are demonstrating new games to channel partners with whom they have cooperated before.
The game development speed of Huihong Game Company was somewhat beyond their imagination. The Pac-Man they ordered was still floating in the sea. In less than half a month, another new game was born.
Moreover, this game also has great playability and is very suitable for arcades.
They all doubted whether Huihong Game Company was born for arcades. There were no popular arcade games in the past few years. Even if Atari developed a few games that sold well, there was no competition and they could only make do with it.
Huihong Game Company is completely different. Whether it is the previous Xiangjiang Cube or the current Pac-Man and Little Bee, these games are of high quality and highly interesting, which can inspire game fans to continue playing.
of enthusiasm.
But in the Tokyo Affairs Office of Huihong Game Company, Taro Tagawa, the deputy general manager of Taitong Company, looked at the game in front of him, and his heart was full of shock and disbelief.
This game is very similar to the structure of Space Invaders, which their company has been developing for nearly two years. In addition, in terms of picture quality and sound effects, Little Bee is far better than their Space Invaders, which is still under development.
He knew very well how much impact the appearance of this game would have on the employees of his company's development department, which meant that the development department's work in the past two years was basically in vain.
Taro Tagawa did not suspect that Huihong Game Company plagiarized their ideas. You must know that Taitong Company kept the development department and the game very confidential, and it was impossible for its employees to leak the game ideas and structure.
And he knew very well that if Huihong Game Company copied their company's ideas, it would be impossible to launch a game in a short time that was better than the Space Invaders that his company was still developing.
Naturally, Li Jianhui didn't know that his arrival would directly cause Taitung's famous works to disappear, and Taitung would lose the opportunity to become famous in the world.
In the future, when people think of the glorious beginnings of arcades, they will only think of Xiangjiang Cube and Huihong Game Company, not Space Invaders and Taitung.
Huihong Game Company and Li Jianhui are like thieves, stealing the opportunities, benefits and honors of countless companies and individuals.
Taitung is just one of them, Namco Dream is also seriously injured, not to mention that its general Toru Iwatani was poached, whether Pac-Man or Little Bee, this should have been their product, because of the arrival of Li Jianhui, they also lost this
Opportunity.
Nintendo will also not feel comfortable. This year's Famicom, and future FC famous games such as Super Mario, Snowman Brothers, and Bubble Bobble, will not be able to escape Li Jianhui's clutches.
And Li Jianhui doesn't feel the slightest guilt about this. He is not plagiarizing, it is serious research and development. He can apply for patents in major countries, and the copyright is protected by all countries.
As for those celebrities in previous lives, I believe in their strength, even without these classics, they can still create other classic games. This is a great contribution to game fans and allows them to play more exciting games.
Li Jianhui, who was in Hong Kong, personally explained the Little Bee game to the managers of game companies owned by 14k, Hing Ngai On and Heshenghe. He also visited several Golden Ridge game arcades in Tseung Kwan O with them to let them feel the popularity of Little Bee.
Since these people can serve as managers, they must have some level of experience, otherwise they would not be able to stand out from thousands or even tens of thousands of people.
They know very well that the operation and graphics of this game are a bit worse than the table tennis, gun battle, and racing games in their arcade, and the game will almost be swept into the garbage heap of history.
If you look at the situation inside the Jinling Game Center, you will know that the Xiangjiang Cube, Pac-Man and Little Bee arcade machines with good picture quality and playability are crowded with people, while the other games, except for a few people playing them intermittently, are not there at all.
who.
At this time, they naturally knew what choice they should make, especially the game Little Bee, which they felt would be more popular than Xiangjiang Cube.
No matter Xiangjiang cubes or Pac-Man, there is no feeling of passion. It is played by a wide range of people, including girls.
However, the main customers of arcade game halls are still teenagers, who prefer passionate games, and as a shooting game, Little Bee can very well stimulate the enthusiasm of teenagers.
Therefore, after returning to the company, Huang Guangxing, as the sales department, was extremely busy. The major game arcade companies in Xiangjiang and Lisboa ordered a total of 340 units. If the 60 units from Jinling Company are added, these two places only received 400 orders.
.
Compared with the small market, offices in Lisboa, Taipei, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Bandung and other places have received good news one after another.
The faces of all employees in the company are full of smiles. Another game of the company has been recognized by distributors from all over the country. The company's performance will reach a new height. As employees, they will also gain something.
Starting from this month, each of their salaries has increased significantly, and Li Jianhui has announced the year-end bonus payment standards. These are all inseparable from the company's rapid development.
The most miserable person now is Chen Yongli, the manager of the production department. The company's current production potential has been exhausted. Unless a second production base is established, the output cannot be increased.
At present, there are a large number of orders for the three games, and I am afraid that the production department will not be able to be idle in a short time.
Moreover, the sales department must also explain that when signing orders with customers, sufficient delivery time must be reserved.
Looking at the somewhat worried Chen Yongli, Li Jianhui said with a smile: "Manager Chen, just be busy for a while. After Little Bee, I'm afraid we won't release any new games within half a year. You don't have to worry too much about it."
.”
"Li Sheng, I am naturally happy that the company's performance is good. But looking at the orders, our production department cannot complete them as quickly as possible. I always feel that this is not the case."
Li Jianhui didn't pay much attention to Chen Yongli's response. He knew what this person was thinking, and he still wanted to rent a factory area and establish a second production base.
Li Jianhui was unwilling to do this. This time he planned to let Toru Iwatani develop Mario and Wang Haichuan develop tanks.
Both games will take a long time, especially Mario. Li Jianhui is very satisfied that they can be developed in one year, not to mention half a year.
His main goal this year is not to put it on arcades. Currently, these three games are enough to support him. Any more will only squeeze the sales of a few of his games.
