"Well, this is a trade secret. ”

Hao Xuan immediately opened his mouth to admit that Zheng Jianguo took a lot of effort to change his words, but he didn't expect that this doctor, who could be called a senior resident doctor, was still a super game fan: "To be honest, most of my income is spent on game consoles, and compared to the gameplay of magic cubes, this game is like a lump -, when will you release it?"

"Well, this is a trade secret—"

Repeating the previous rhetoric again, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart, he now has more things in his hands, and the stall is getting bigger and bigger, but there are few people who can really use and believe.

Jianguo Company has Zuo Zhengrong in charge, and the fund to be established at the end of the year is Charlie, who is ready to call the umbrella security company He is ready to put Harris in charge, so that no matter whether Harris is looking for a major or a brigadier general, there is also a means of checks and balances.

The rest are the three laboratories in the biological direction that Zheng Jianguo is personally in charge of, the Helicobacter pylori and the HIV virus laboratory called the unknown virus set up under the digestive center, and there is also a private blue pill laboratory.

Of course, these three laboratories also have their own leaders, Catherine and Esther of Helicobacter pylori, Bertha of the HIV virus laboratory, Celia of the little blue pill laboratory, and as for the atomic-scale graphite layer laboratory in the direction of physics, Thomas is in charge.

In addition to these, because Zheng Jianguo's million dividends last year did not move, his shareholding in Activision games has exceeded 20%, and now that it is June, the sales statistics for the first half of the year will come out soon, so the ensuing dividends are almost the same.

On the surface, Zheng Jianguo is not short of money and no energy, to allow the natural growth of Activision games, but deep in his heart, this company is involved in his future layout in the computer field.

After all, for the future development of computers, Zheng Jianguo has always been in mind, and the computer uses at this time, including Blue Giant and Wang An Computer, are taking WPS office as the main fist product, and concurrently operating mainframe and personal PC direction.

As for the game entertainment, Zheng Jianguo also knows that it is not that there are no computer manufacturers to see business opportunities, as early as 1975 before the establishment of micro hardware and 1976 fruit computer, Wang An computer launched in 1973 can be used for game entertainment and design of the Wang-2200 model.

However, whether it is this personal PC or fruit 2 computer, there is a fundamentally high threshold in Zheng Jianguo's eyes - if you want to use these computers, you need to learn a huge command symbol, just like before he learned the Wubi font input method, he needs to keep in mind that there are not many but enough to be called a complex root table.

This threshold is an unimaginable entry difficulty for ordinary people, and it is also the reason why the PCs launched by major computer manufacturers cannot enter thousands of households, so they cannot quickly grab funds to speed up the research and development progress.

As for the solution to this threshold, MS-DOS, which is already much simpler than before!

Of course, this is only a small step towards a visual operating system.

Although he has the memory of his previous life, Zheng Jianguo has no experience in business, since he was reborn to the present, most of the time he is planning with the events or things that happened in his memory, until the last time he saw Augustus at the Bruce house, he threw out his ambition and sniped the oil contract!

This is a bold idea, after all, in a sense, this is the enemy of the world's capital, imagine the fate of the Harant family, hand over all the silver contracts to take the money and leave, not to mention, but also sell all the belongings, it can be regarded as a complete failure.

However, Zheng Jianguo did not have any fear, because he knew that even if he failed, he would have countless chances of success behind him, and the Activision game, which seemed to have little movement at present, was the layout he left when he failed.

Since he has begun to lay out oil contracts, Zheng Jianguo suddenly found that as the core technology of the future computer era, the importance of semiconductor technology to the computer age is just as important as the importance of oil to developed countries at this time.

However, this truth is not only known by Zheng Jianguo himself, but the whole world has a clear understanding, but in terms of the heat and attention he has at this moment, touching this now will attract the attention of the FBI who has already arrived at his side, and this is also the reason why he watched Fairchild Semiconductor completely cool.

It's just that this is Zheng Jianguo's previous plan, and now with the official launch of the PC with the 8088 processor, especially after the underage hacker returned home, he made corrections to the original plan.

In the United States in 1980, when parents faced the game consoles that their children gradually liked, they already had the prejudice of Chinese parents in the face of computer rooms 20 years later.

Now semiconductors are forced to be unreachable, but it does not prevent Zheng Jianguo from making a curve to save the country, and now the layout of the terminal for the needs of players is carried out in advance, I am afraid that those who are staring at themselves openly and secretly will not figure out - what future can be played by playing games?

Considering that the Windows system has brought too deep changes to the world, Zheng Jianguo has no way to intervene in the computer industry to seek the layout of the upstream and downstream, so he can only choose to retreat to the second most popular game console to seek a breakthrough point, the blue giant's 8088 chip should be the control chip on the red and white machine, right?

The reason why he said 99 US dollars before is that Zheng Jianguo intends to apply the latest chip to the game console, as far as he knows, the home game console giant Atari console, which currently occupies two-fifths of the American market, uses the 6502CPU designed and launched 7 years ago.

This CPU chip costs $25 each, while the 8080 of the same period costs $35, so the former was used by Watts and Joe to assemble the Fruit 1 computer, and the assembled Fruit 1 costs as much as $667.

Of course, such a high price directly led to the sale of a total of 25 units in ten months, although the auction price has soared to the million-dollar level after a few decades-

Zheng Jianguo didn't know much about games in his last life, but because he had a son born in the 80s at home, the games he remembered were all so famous that they couldn't be famous anymore, not to mention tank battles and Contra, mushroom picking and the Three Kingdoms series of little devils can eat this classical masterpiece to a great extent, and he still can't understand it when he thinks about it now.

It's just that at this time, due to his strategic layout, Zheng Jianguo picked up the phone and called Bruno and a few people to Boston after thinking about it for a few more days, so the Activision game shareholders who have been partners for a year have officially met: "Bruno, we haven't seen each other for a long time, and the others are meeting for the first time——"

"Zheng, this is David, Larika, Alain and Bob, this is our partner, Zheng, who invented the magic cube. ”

Compared with the last time they met, Bruno seems to have gained weight again, not to mention, and his skin is not as dark as when they first met, but fortunately, although he has a big temperament, he still gives due respect to the largest shareholder of the company, but after introducing the two parties, his temperament rekindled, and he looked at the male and female diners in suits and leather shoes around him with a restrained expression: "Zheng, we can go to your house to talk." ”

"Zheng is still a doctor—"

Bob said and smiled at Zheng Jianguo, he can be responsible for administrative management in the company, IQ and EQ are still above the standard line, looking at Zheng Jianguo with a gentle smile and said, "I think Zheng is here to talk about the company's equity, right?"

"Oh, Bob is right, but we can just order and eat. ”

Zheng Jianguo only took two hours off at noon, and at this time, after watching the two sides introduce them, he invited the waiters who had been following him for a long time, took the menu, took a look and said, "I'm having a treat today, you can order whatever you want-"

"I want an Australian lobster—"

Before Zheng Jianguo's words fell, David, who had just opened the menu, opened his mouth with the messy yellow hair on his head, and the former also found that the waiter next to him looked over, so he nodded and smiled: "No problem, I said that I had a treat today, and in order to celebrate, we finally met." ”

"Then I'll have an Australian lobster combo too. ”

Alain, who was full of freckles, raised his hand and said, so the rest of Larica and Bob put down the menu in their hands and said with a smile on their faces: "Then let's all be the same-"

"No problem, give each of them a 3-pound. ”

Zheng Jianguo turned his head to look at the waiter who looked at the fat sheep's expression, and the latter blinked and said, "Sir, you-"

"Steak course—"

After confirming again, the waiter nodded and left, of course Zheng Jianguo knew that the other party glanced at the 18K gold watch on his wrist before leaving, but this is what people do, so he looked back at Bruno on the other side of the table, took out something and a project book from the leather bag at his feet, put it in front of a few people and said: "This is what I thought after seeing this watch game console, you see——"

"Oh, it's Nintendo's Game &Watch, it's $34.9, but the game in it is a piece of-"

Bruno picked up the things on the table, and Bob next to him opened his mouth to pick it up, and Alain and David both nodded without thinking: "Yes, the game inside, that's a piece of." ”

"A piece of is good—"

Zheng Jianguo saw Larica touch the project book and opened it, and saw that his eyes widened instantly, and he subconsciously raised his head to look at Zheng Jianguo, and said with a surprised face: "This is-"

"I designed the appearance of the game console, and I asked the decoration designer to help me draw it according to the actual scale requirements, and you had to stuff the circuit board, controller and buttons into it according to my requirements, and leave the No. 5 battery empty in the back——"

Considering that the identities of these five people are all programmed apes, Zheng Jianguo has not met these people, he is afraid that he will not understand: "Of course, I have written all the requirements later, you can take a look at it now, because I will talk about the issue of equity, I am ready to invest the dividends in the first half of this year into the company, even if it is to use the start-up capital for this project, do you follow the investment or change the equity according to the proportion of capital contribution?"

"Well, the magic cubes sold well in the first half of this year, Bruno proposed to develop an arcade version, and I'm waiting for money to buy a house-"

Alain couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, stood up and went to Larica to look at the project book, and his eyes fell on it and couldn't pull it out: "But your appearance is more attractive, and the operation button is not a button, but a cross arrow key, this is too much beyond our imagination——"

"You can see this thing, this place is not a place to discuss the project, I decided to ask you for this project because of our good cooperation in the past, you also know that I own the copyright of the magic cube and the design of this game console, if you want to find a foundry for OEM production, you only need to ask a few program apes to complete the design——"

Fearing that the five programming apes would misunderstand again, Zheng Jianguo directly ripped off his face, and at the same time revealed that he was now bent on promoting the project.

Of course, the reason why Zheng Jianguo did this is the mentality that if this project is successful, it will be good or not, after all, take Atari, which now has a one-third share of the home game console industry, in the annual sales of less than 500 million, the gross profit is less than 80 million-

If he really wants to earn this figure in order to make money, Zheng Jianguo only needs to close the current oil contract and find a bank to throw it in, with a base interest rate of up to 17% per year, it is almost twice the income of this profit, and it is really pure profit.

In addition, all the five people at this table except for Zheng Jianguo are not more than five million, so for a while, his behavior is similar to setting a small goal: "In addition, I have an idea that I need to discuss with you, that is, I am going to start a magazine or newspaper based on games, how do you feel?"

"Game-based magazines and newspapers, that's great!"

Bob looked at Zheng Jianguo stunned, to be honest, he was a partner who didn't like this kind of posture, and the aggressive flavor in these words even disgusted him, but he didn't wait for his idea to appear for too long, and with the appearance of this sentence, all the dissatisfaction in his mind was dispersed: "You can introduce some good games." ”

"No, I want this magazine to be a community of players, where you can write to share your game experience and game experience, and you can pick out representative games for publication in each issue——"

With a foolish look, he glanced at Bob, who had the highest emotional intelligence among the five, but before Zheng Jianguo finished speaking, the five waiters next to him appeared in a line, each carrying an Australian lobster to the side, so he changed his words later: "Let's talk while eating." ”
