182 Early release

Although it has not obtained a patent for the cross key, but in other fields, Sony and Midea still have a lot of cooperation, Sony relies on Midea to get a share of the local game market in Japan, and Midea's current expansion of household appliances also needs to rely on Sony's sales and after-sales channels.

But both parties understand that this kind of cooperation cannot be too long, and Sony's entry into the game market has posed a threat to the core areas of Midea, although Xu Zhi has absolute confidence in creativity, but Sony's history is a business myth that turns the impossible into a possibility, and Xu Zhi does not dare to take it lightly.

On the other hand, using Sony's existing channels, Midea has begun to set up its own sales network and after-sales system, which also takes a certain amount of time, and there will be no major contradictions between the two parties in the short term!

Sony's entry into the game field so quickly was also unexpected by Xu Zhi, and its butterfly effect successfully stimulated the game market, but it also attracted many people who wanted to share the cake.

After Morita Shaofu left, Xu Zhi informed He Guoyuan of what happened, and after listening, He Guoyuan asked, "Then what do we do next?"

Xu Zhi asked, "How are Contra and Mario doing?"

He Guoyuan said: "Almost, the sample has been tried for a long time, there is no major problem, according to our previous plan, it will be in September." ”

"Advance!" Xu Zhi said, "I will start preparing for the release next month!"

He Guoyuan asked: "Why, although the sales of Tank Battle and Pac-Man have declined a little at present, the potential of the market has not been fully digested, and now if we launch Mario and Contra, the internal competition may affect the sales of these two old game arcades!"

Xu Zhidao: "This is actually my purpose, I used to think so, but now the situation is different, Sony acquired Nintendo, Sony has technology and funds, Nintendo has game professionals, I must hit the market with the most ruthless force, and increase the appetite of all players for games, otherwise, according to the requirements of current players for games, once Sony's first game successfully enters, it will be a worse competition in the future!"

In addition, if we exploit the potential of Contra and Mario earlier, we will be able to make profits sooner, and if these profits are used for other investments, they may be even higher than the losses of the two games of Tank and Pac-Man. ”

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "Also, we will only look at the profit from the game itself, and we don't pay attention to the fact that money can be reinvested." ”

Xu Zhi asked, "How is the home game console?"

He Guoyuan said: "We have tested Tank Wars, Xiangjiang Cubes, Mario and Contra, and the results are very good, but the biggest problem at present is that there are too few game types, Contra and Mario Arcade have not yet been released, and the arcade machines of Tank Battle and Pac-Man are still on sale, if we transplant these two games to the home console, I am afraid that these arcade bosses will lose a lot of money, which is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst for our company."

The games that can be played are Xiangjiang Cube and Pac-Fer, but at present, there are these two games on the Gameboy, and the price is much cheaper than the game console, and there are no good games, I'm afraid it will be difficult to open the market?"

Xu Zhi said: "There is a problem, but since we have decided to launch Mario and Contra into the arcade market, there will be very few people interested in playing Tank Wars and Pac-Man again in the next few months, and when we launch the motherboard cartridges of these two games, there will be much less pressure in this regard." ”

He Guoyuan nodded and said, "This method is indeed good!"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "It's almost the end of May now, contact the major distributors, and immediately airlift the arcade machines of Contra and Mario to them at the beginning of June, let them test the market, once their orders come back, the factory here in Xiangjiang will be fully producing, and I will let all the other game manufacturers rot the arcade in the warehouse!"

Evergrande's office:

Li Jiacheng took a sip of tea and asked, "I heard that Xu Sheng is planning to build a five-star hotel in Shenhai City?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Li Sheng's news is really sensitive enough!"

At the beginning of the month, Li Jiacheng was supposed to go to Shenhai and Shekou together, but it seemed that something big had suddenly happened inside Cheung Kong Industrial, and Li Jiacheng informed everyone that they could not leave Xiangjiang for the time being, and explained to Deputy Director Shen of Shekou that when the company's internal affairs were resolved, he would definitely go to Shekou alone.

After Xu Zhi and others left the mainland, Li Jiacheng went to Shekou alone, and in his capacity, he would inevitably be received by the high-level of the local government.

Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect Xu Sheng to be so optimistic about the mainland and want to build the tallest building in the mainland!"

Xu Zhidao: "Since you want to build it, of course you have to build it best!"

After deciding that he was going to invest in this hotel, Xu Zhi talked to Bao Yugang Huo Yingdong alone, and finally persuaded them that this hotel was mainly invested by Xu Zhi, and the name of the hotel was Evergrande Hotel.

In fact, this is not just for investment, but to build the company's reputation in the mainland, and make this hotel a symbol of the mainland's reform and opening up, so the tallest building in the country is for this.

In the 80s and 90s, with the reputation of the tallest building in the country, Evergrande Group can spread throughout the mainland in a short period of time.

The planned 200-metre-high, 58-storey hotel, half of which will be used as a hotel, and the rest can be rented out as an office building, which could cost as much as HK$200 million or HK$200 million if it were in Heungjiang, but in the mainland, the labor and construction costs are extremely low, estimated at HK$100 million, which also includes the huge green area around it.

Now everything is in place, and all we need is the consent of the central government.

Li Jiacheng said with a smile: "I am also interested in investing in this kind of project, I wonder if I can participate in a share?"

Xu Zhidao: "Li Sheng, if you want to invest in the mainland, there are many ways, why do you have to participate in everything? If you want to build a hotel, as far as I know, Yangcheng and Shanghai have this plan, these two cities are big cities in the mainland, why don't Li Sheng go to these two places to have a look?"

Li Jiacheng smiled and said: "Although these two cities are developed, they are not as good as Shenhai City in terms of investment environment!"

Xu Zhi couldn't help but glance at Li Jiacheng after hearing this, this guy has really strong eyesight, and he can actually know the biggest investment problem in the mainland now!

Many friends in the 21st century think that investing in the mainland in the 80s is the golden age of foreign businessmen, but in fact, at least before 85 years, the entire mainland except for the deep sea market, investment in other places encountered policy problems, often fall into an unsolvable situation!

Later, in the early 80s, Huo Yingdong invested in the White Swan Hotel in Yangcheng, because modern hotels need more than 100,000 items, and the mainland basically does not have them, so they can only be imported from overseas.

But importing a thing needs to be signed by more than a dozen departments, Huo Yingdong's eyes were frozen, and finally he was forced to contact many high-level officials of the central government, set the opening time, and forced the Yangcheng government personnel to improve efficiency!

The reason why Shenhai City can develop in such a short period of time is indeed geographical, but the simplicity of policies and the efficiency of government personnel are the fundamental reasons!

Xu Zhi said: "There are still a lot of places to invest in Shenhai City, and Li Sheng can investigate more!"

Li Jiacheng did not answer directly, and said: "Xu Sheng, investing in the deep sea is just a trivial matter, and I have brought good news here today, Dabao Real Estate has agreed to sell the shares of Weicheng Company in its hands!"

Xu Zhi suddenly came to his senses and said, "What price?"

Li Jiacheng said: "180 million Hong Kong dollars, 25% of the shares are all transferred to you!"

"180 million?" Xu Zhi sneered: "The heart of this Dabao Real Estate is too dark, isn't it, and the starting capital of the entire Weicheng Company is only 300 million Hong Kong dollars, right?"
