Chapter 136: Pac-Man
After listening to Zhao Xiaoyan's report, Li Guangyu said: "You should make sufficient preparations for the sales department, and at the same time contact Xiangyu Group and Jiayi Group, so that they can do more publicity for our home game consoles, and we must make our home game machines get off to a good start." 35xsā
Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng rest assured, our group's games have cultivated a lot of fans for us in the arcade, and I believe that with the cooperation of Xiangyu and Jiayi, we will definitely be able to occupy a place in the home game console market." ā
Li Guangyu is also optimistic about this, you must know that the popular games of Xingyu Group are very popular in the market, and the launch of home game consoles will definitely be welcomed by many families, after all, this can be played at home at any time.
Li Guangyu then asked Shigeru Yamamoto, "Mr. Yamamoto, how are the few new games from the game development company doing?"
Shigeru Yamamoto reported: "Mr. Li, it will take some time for my own group of Super Mario to be completed, and I believe it will be completed in December. The 12th Street Fighter developed by Mr. Ren Yugang is nearing completion, and it is believed that various tests will be completed and put into the market next month. The game that the company is currently testing is Mr. Toru Iwatani's Pac-Man, which will soon be available on the market. ā
Lee also doesn't know if Pac-Man will be a success, and he didn't play it in his previous life. 35xs
Li Guangyu said: "It just so happens that I came over today, Xuemei, you and I will go over with Mr. Yamamoto to have a look." Qin Peng, Xin Yu, Xiao Yan, go about your own business. ā
After Lee Kwang Woo and others came to the Pac-Man development team, they watched the testers' tests while listening to Toru Iwatani's detailed introduction to the game design.
After Li Guangyu saw this game, he felt that there should still be a market for this game. Although it is not as popular with boys as Contra and Twelve Street Fighter, it should be very marketable among girls.
Li Guangyu still knew too little about this aspect in his previous life, he only knew some of the games he had played, as well as the names of some development games he saw in it, among which Shigeru Yamamoto and Yokoi Junhei were more familiar to him, as for the other cows, he didn't know.
After watching the test for a while, Lee Kwangwoo encouraged Toru Iwatani to keep up the good work, and then left the game development department.
Lee Guangyu still likes more passionate games, such as The King of Fighters, Contra, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Adventure Island. For this kind of casual puzzle game, Li Guangyu is not very cold.
After returning to the office, Li Guangyu said to Li Xuemei: "Regarding the game Pac-Man, you also have to promote it, and at the same time, you must find the right direction in terms of positioning. ā
Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, rest assured, we know how to do it." 35xs I think this game is pretty good, especially for girls, they still like this aspect of the game. ā
Li Guangyu doesn't know what the game market is, so he didn't say much, so as not to slap himself in the face, it won't look good, he has always had an excellent vision in the eyes of the Li Group, and he has never been eye-catching, if he is wrong about this game this time, his myth will be shattered.
Li Guangyu advised: "This aspect should be paid attention to, but the group's main focus should still be on home game consoles, and at the same time, because our group has too few games, you have to arrange personnel to go to Japan to buy the game rights of some game development companies." ā
"Okay Li Sheng, I'll arrange it. Li Xuemei said.
Li Guangyu considers some good games, maybe the development company is unlikely to sell the copyright directly to Xingyu Group, and is more thinking about sales stratification.
Li Guangyu said to Li Xuemei: "When negotiating with Japanese game companies, try to buy their copyrights, and if not, negotiate sales stratification with them." ā
Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, if we talk about layering, do we need to make a single game card, so that we can be more aware of the sales of a game." ā
Li Guangyu thinks that there is indeed such a problem, if several games are made into one card, it is not clear which game fans bought it for, and it is impossible to tell which game sells high, and it is estimated that those game development companies are not willing.
Li Guangyu said: "Your group is studying and handling this matter, pay attention to calculating the cost, and the price of a single game card should not exceed $50." ā
"Okay Li Sheng, we will pay attention to this aspect of the problem. Li Xuemei replied.
Then Li Guangyu asked Li Xuemei about the printed circuit board company, and whether the production cost there had been reduced after a few months.
Li Xuemei replied: "Li Sheng, we sent more than a dozen middle managers to Seiko Epson Company to study in the third quarter, and at the same time, Mr. Yamada Hara Takeshi also sent several supervisors to train the management personnel of our printed circuit board company, and now the cost has been reduced to a certain extent." ā
When Li Guangyu heard Li Xuemei's answer, he knew that the current effect was not very good, and there was no good way for Li Guangyu to do this.
Li Guangyu asked: "Xuemei, what are the difficulties of the current printed circuit board company that cause our costs to be too high. ā
For this company, Li Xuemei and several group executives also tried their best, but no matter what they did, they could not achieve the desired results, and the product qualification rate could not be compared with Seiko Epson.
Li Xuemei said: "Li Sheng, now it is mainly the problem of our employees, and there is still a big gap between Seiko Epson and Seiko Epson in this regard, and it may take a long time to catch up with Seiko Epson." ā
Li Guangyu also knows that this is mainly due to the difference in education levels on both sides, most of the Seiko Epson companies have received some vocational education, and many of the employees of Li Guangyu's company have not graduated from middle school, and even those who have not graduated from primary school.
Li Guangyu said: "Our group is still waiting, as long as our own production is lower than that imported from Japan, so that we will not lose money." ā
Li Sheng rest assured, this goal we still believe in, the cost of the printed circuit board company is only slightly higher than our import price from Japan, which is much better than before, I believe that by the end of the year, it will be on par with the import price. Li Xuemei said.
Li Guangyu said: "In this regard, we also need to learn more from Seiko Epson, regularly arrange personnel to their company to communicate and learn without interruption, and also ask Mr. Yamada Hara Takeshi to regularly arrange their company's supervisors and technical personnel to come over to train our employees." ā
"Li Sheng, I'll arrange it. Li Xuemei said.
After Li Guangyu and Li Xuemei chatted about the game company for a while, they left Xingyu Group and went to Jiayi Building.
