After the Spring Festival, Xingyu Group made the first good start for the Li Group, and the long-awaited Super Mario developed by Shigeru Yamamoto was officially sold to the market at the end of February.

Due to the high reputation of Xingyu Video Game Group in various regions, and the fact that this game is indeed a classic, Super Mario has been welcomed by dealers around the world as soon as it was launched.

On February 25th, after breakfast, Li Guangyu came to the headquarters of Xingyu Group 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 more than 100,000 arcade orders, and the profit here exceeded 300 million Hong Kong dollars.

The game industry is worthy of being a money-absorbing industry, whether it is today's arcade machine, or the soon-to-be-glorious home game console, and even later computer online games and mobile games, it is a money printing machine. Think about the Penguin Group in later generations, and you will know how profitable this industry is.

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 is assured that our group has made corresponding arrangements and is already developing the Canadian market. Wang Xinyu said.

Li Guangyu then said to Li Xuemei: "Xuemei, the sale of our Super Mario game cards has been delayed for three months, so as not to affect our arcade sales. ”

Li Xuemei also knew that the premature sales of game cards would definitely be affected by the sales of arcade machines, so she had an idea about it for a long time.

Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, we plan to think about the sale of game cards when the potential of Super Mario in the arcade is about the same, and then we expect this time to be three to six months. ”

Li Guangyu has no problem with this, it is better to be later, so that he can achieve more sales in the arcade.

Li Guangyu said: "Regarding the specific sales of the game, you will arrange it according to the actual situation. ”

Li Guangyu then asked Shigeru Yamamoto: "Mr. Yamamoto, thank you for your contribution to the development of the company, in addition to the bonus given by the group to your development team, I am giving out a reward of two million Hong Kong dollars." ”

Shigeru Yamamoto said happily: "Thank you Li Sheng, it's mainly because of your ideas that we developed this game, and we don't dare to take credit." ”

Li Guangyu really didn't dare to take credit, this was originally Yamamoto Shigeru's idea, but in this life, Li Guangyu took it out in advance for Yamamoto Shigeru to develop, he just stole Yamamoto Shigeru's things. Besides, Li Guangyu only mentioned it, the specific development was made by Shigeru Yamamoto, and Li Guangyu couldn't develop the game himself.

Li Guangyu said: "Mr. Yamamoto, you don't need to be modest, our senior management has taken your credit to heart, and I hope that you will continue to lead a good game development company and provide more high-quality game products for our group." ”

Shigeru Yamamoto said, "Mr. Lee, we will strive to provide excellent games for the group to live up to the trust placed in us by the group. ”

Shigeru Yamamoto is very happy to work in Xingyu Group, and he is very grateful to Li Guangyu for his attention. The year before last, he was just a small employee who was not taken seriously within Nintendo, and in less than two years after coming to Xingyu Group, he became the general manager of the company and the director of the group, which was something he could not have imagined before.

Li Guangyu asked Shigeru Yamamoto, "Mr. Yamamoto, what game projects are currently being established by game companies?"

"Li Sheng, Mr. Toru Iwatani is currently working on a game called Geometric Magic Treasure, which is similar to the type of Pac-Man he developed. I now have a little idea for the next game, and it's going to take some time. And Mr. Ren Yugang has now invested in the development of Street Fighter 2. Shigeru Yamamoto replied.

Li Guangyu said to him: "Don't worry, our company has a number of games that are selling well, we have enough time, and the quality of the game is the most important thing." ”

Li Sheng is assured that we will strive to complete the development of the game as soon as possible while ensuring the quality. Shigeru Yamamoto said.

After the meeting, Li Guangyu left Li Xuemei and discussed with her some of the group's plans for this year.

Li Guangyu said: "Xuemei, this year, we have to contact more game development companies in Japan, and strive to let them transfer the copyright of the game they developed to us. ”

Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, I have explained to Wang Liwen, general manager of the Japanese branch, about this aspect, and he will focus on this aspect this year. ”

Li Guangyu still has some understanding of Wang Liwen, this person is still very capable, Xingyu Group's sales of home game consoles have achieved great success in Japan, which has a huge relationship with Wang Liwen's work.

Li Guangyu said: "So I can rest assured, your main work this year is still in the home game console, our design must be continuously improved, otherwise, after the products of other game companies come out, we will have no means to fight back." ”

"Okay Li Sheng, I will arrange this matter. Li Xuemei said.

Li Guangyu said: "There is another important thing this year, the chips of our current arcade machines still need to be imported from Seiko Epson, and I plan to do this by our group ourselves." You send someone to negotiate with Texas Instruments in the United States to buy their technology about the arcades we use today. They now have new technology, which is outdated, and I think they're willing to sell. ”

Of course, Li Guangyu also wants to acquire the latest technology, but unfortunately he knows that this is impossible, so he can only arrange for Li Xuemei to negotiate the acquisition of relatively backward technology. As long as he has this foundation, Li Guangyu throws money into it and borrows the talents from the treasure island, Li Guangyu believes that it can still develop.

The newly established semiconductor company that Li Guangyu plans to establish is located in the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park, where there are still many talents. Later generations of TSMC semiconductor companies developed here, and Li Guangyu now has more advantages than them and has more abundant funds, and he still doesn't believe that he can't develop.

Li Xuemei said: "Okay Li Sheng, I will contact the U.S. branch and Texas Instruments first, and after I have the will, I will personally go to the United States to negotiate with Texas Instruments, and strive to win some of the chip technology about 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 reason why Li Guangyu set up this company in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park instead of Xiangjiang is mainly because Xiangjiang does not have many talents in this area.

Li Guangyu said: "Yuemei, don't be anxious, we have more time, just buy it within this year, now the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park has not been completed, I plan to build a company after it is completed there." ”

Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, isn't it a little late at that time, when the Hsinchu Science and Technology Park is completed, after our company is built, I am afraid that it will be in the second half of next year." ”

"It's okay to be late, so you have more time to negotiate with Texas Instruments and contact other semiconductor companies. Li Guangyu said.

"Okay Mr. Li, I will ask the US side to investigate more semiconductor companies for reference. ”
