Chapter 875: The farther and farther it goes

After listening to Chen Dahe's words, Oliver didn't seem to react, and said indifferently, "Most of these words have been said when you decided to buy back Attack Games, and there is nothing new, what I want to know is that this game you planned can really take on the important task and detonate the game market again?"

"Now that the game has been developed, you won't know if you give it a try!" Chen Dahe raised the note in his hand and said with a smile, "In the past, we just acquired Attack Games and released Snake, Now EO Media has thousands of video stores in North America, and the Third International Bank also has hundreds of electrical appliance stores in Europe and a complete telephone sales network, our own channels can quickly spread the entire European and American markets in the shortest possible time, and we can also add Xiangjiang and Japan in Asia, in the case of global network coverage, it only takes a month to see whether this game can detonate the market!"

Although these electrical appliance stores are mainly engaged in the products of Star Computer, but the ownership is under the Third International Bank, and Star Company is not directly related, in addition to this, other logistics and distribution companies and telephone sales companies are also the same, are independent operations, which is not only convenient for risk diversification, but also conducive to capital operation, maybe in the future it is several multinational listed companies.

"And what about the standard?" Oliver stared at him, "Before the collapse of Atari, the North American game market was $3.2 billion, but last year's sales for the whole year were less than $100 million, a shrinkage of more than 97 percent, how much do you estimate the sales of this game, 100 million, or 200 million?"

She didn't care about the 100 billion market that Chen Dahe said in his mouth just now, the global game market size at that time was less than 10 billion, and those bricks dared to boast of 100 billion, which was no longer called thick-skinned, but faceless.

In contrast, in the later 07 years, those bricks who boasted that A-shares would cost tens of thousands of points were simply models of conscience.

In order to achieve hot results in this context, sales must be in the hundreds of millions, and all of them must be beaten by one hanging, otherwise it will definitely not be able to save the market.

Chen Dahe crossed his hands, his two thumbs went back and forth, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "What are the main game platforms now?"

"You mean game consoles?" Oliver saw Chen Dahe nodding in confirmation before continuing, "It's still the same as three years ago, with Atari, Attack and Nintendo's game consoles as the mainstay, and the others are not worth mentioning, and there are also a little games on personal computers, basically that's all, Attack is of course based on video game platforms, which is also the mainstream of the market." โ€

Chen Dahe pouted, "Atari isn't dead yet?"

Oliver raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smirk, " How to say that it was once the world's first, don't you have an old saying, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and it can't be poured for a while, but since the failure of their ET game, the entire upstream game production market has collapsed, and they have also lost control of the game production market, and now most of the surviving game production companies are attached to us and Nintendo's two platforms, of which Japan's Nintendo is the mainstay, and the United States is dominated by us, and they have launched a margin system to control the quality of game software production, and the effect seems to be pretty good, so it is currently attacking and Nintendo to divide the market equally, and Atari can only rely on some old users to survive, only,"

He shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, "In your words, there is still a lack of a popular game that can detonate the market, and both Attack and Nintendo can only maintain basic operations." โ€

When Chen Dahe heard this, he didn't know what he was thinking, his facial features were almost crowded, and finally he even stood up and walked back and forth in the study.

Oliver turned around and looked at him inexplicably, "I just wanted to make a bet with you, is it so tangled, or is there something wrong?"

"No," Chen Dahe raised his right hand and waved, frowning and said, "I thought of another thing, how much do you know about the computer market?"

"Computers?" Oliver was even more puzzled, "Why did you suddenly mention computers again, does it have anything to do with games?"

"No," Chen Dahe returned to his seat and sat down, and said while thinking, "You see, there are now three game platforms, Attack, Nintendo, and Atari, and all three of them have their own technical standards, don't you think they are very similar to the current computer industry? Apple, IBM, and Star Computer! Since 1982, when IBM opened up all PC technology standards except BIOS, all computer companies except Apple have been copying them."

"Copycat?" Oliver interrupted with a wink, "what do you mean?"

"It's plagiarism," Chen Dahe waved his hand, "This is not the point, IBM's PC business itself started by imitating Apple, and the two sides are betting to see who is more stupid, and the result seems to be about the same, and each makes no less mistakes than the other party, and finally IBM will be cross-hearted and announce all technical standards except for the core technology, which will form an industry alliance and repel Apple step by step,"

"I know that behind that," Oliver couldn't help but grin, But IBM itself didn't expect that since they could imitate Apple, then others could also imitate them, Compaq cracked IBM's BIOS program, developed its own software, and imitated its own PC, and then it was even more out of control, and Compaq The same brand came out at once, such as Dell, which was established last year, they all started by copycat IBM, and finally forced IBM to develop its own chips, hoping to master the core technology to increase its own voice in the PC industryใ€‚ โ€

"IBM develops chips?" Chen Dahe was stunned again, he didn't remember what famous chips IBM had in later generations, he thought for a while and asked, "Isn't IBM using Intel 286 chips, they are developing them themselves?"

"I heard that this is the case," Oliver shrugged and turned to face him, "At present, there is no company in the chip industry that can completely occupy a leading position, and PC is the most important business module in chip applications, everyone wants to seize this high ground, Zilog, Motorola are the same, AMD has also begun to get involved in the CPU field, IBM is naturally not far behind, they are secretly researching their own 286 chip ,......"

Oliver said and shrugged, "Well, this news has not been confirmed, and very few people know about it, but I estimate that it is very likely, the blue giant definitely has this ambition! โ€

Just when Chen Dahe was pondering, Oliver suddenly came back to his senses, and stared at him in a daze, "No, why is it getting farther and farther? Aren't we talking about games, you can talk about game consoles, then you talk about the PC, and now you talk about the chip, what do you want to say?"
