After everyone finished reading it, Xu Zhi asked: "What do you think, you can put it forward now, although the game is said to be my idea, but I don't understand technology, there may be some requirements that can't be realized, you can say it." ”

This is true, Pac-Man is okay, the history was created in 1979, and the arcade was made in 80, but the tank war is the product of 85 years, and there are still 7 years from now, and 7 years in the semiconductor and electronics industry is the difference between heaven and earth.

He Guoyuan carefully read the rules of the game and said: "There should be no problem with this Pac-Man, although the picture is a little more complicated, the movement is relatively simple."

And this tank battle is still difficult to say, there are too many tanks running at the same time, and the bullets will also penetrate the wall, but also consider that two players play together, some states will cause all the images to change, we must optimize the game, the difficulty of this game is much higher, mainly depending on the motherboard. ”

"I'm going to invite top companies in the U.S. to come and design the IC motherboard, but the task now is to make the game first, and these two games will determine whether our company's game products will be a flash in the pan in the market, or whether they can become the new Atari and Sega companies," Xu said.

I hope that our company will be the latter, and if you have the same idea, then please work hard and develop the game as soon as possible!"

In 78, a bunch of game company bigwigs in later generations have not yet appeared, such as Nintendo...... Blizzard.......

Relying on the space invaders are expanding frantically Taidong is actually a serious lack of foundation, and the later development history has also confirmed this, brilliant for 78 years, with an annual profit of more than 100 million US dollars, but although the follow-up game results are also okay, but compared to the activity of other game giants, Taidong Company finally declined.

Although the document has detailed the face of the game, it is still not enough for this group of people who are about to develop, everyone held a meeting together for more than an hour, and Xu Zhi also answered more than 20 questions, until everyone asked nothing, and then left.

Now the task of many developers is to do a good job in the underlying framework of the game, Xu Zhi knows nothing about this, and only after the graphical interface comes out, Xu Zhi can have the opportunity to intervene again.

Compared with the Xiangjiang Cube and Snake in front, tank battles and Pac-Man are obviously much more complicated, so in the near future, Midea's R&D personnel will live a very fulfilling life.

In the afternoon, Lin Siqi knocked on the door and walked in, handed over a stack of documents and said, "Xu Sheng, this is sent by Yao Dazhuo!"

Xu Zhi immediately took it when he heard it, opened it and looked at it in detail, and said with a smile: "The patent we applied for for Pac-Man and Tank Battle has passed the preliminary examination, and now it has entered the publication period, this is the notification document, you can store this in our safe!"

The application of an international patent generally takes about 1-2 years to get the patent certificate, the process is relatively slow, and even if it is infringed during this period, it is a difficult lawsuit.

Of course, this is also related to the national laws and regulations, some countries have punitive fines, if you deliberately infringe or violate, you can be punished for bankruptcy, in these countries, even if the patent has not come down, few companies dare to infringe casually.

And in some countries, even if you have a patent, people should still infringe, even if you lose the lawsuit, it is good to accompany some profits, so in some countries and regions, it makes sense that intellectual property rights are not respected, and science and technology cannot develop!

As early as when he first went to the United States, Xu Zhi had already applied for international copyright patents for several games through American lawyers, the rules of the game are very strange, the gameplay belongs to patents, and the characters belong to copyrights, the difference is that the statute of limitations of copyright is as high as hundreds of years, and patents are generally only 20 years at most!

Like the image of Mario in later generations, that is copyright, which is basically enough for a company to eat for a lifetime.

Although the patent for the gameplay is only 20 years, it is enough, and the era of electronic products, twenty years later, will be the era of computer online games, who will copy the products of the 80s.

After Lin Siqi saved the documents, Xu Zhi asked, "How did you find the store for Uniqlo?"

Lin Siqi said: "Looking for one, but the location over there is a bit off!"

After returning from the United States, Xu Zhi asked Lin Siqi to arrange for someone to find the store needed for the new clothing store, but Xu Zhi's requirements were quite high, requiring an area of more than 5,000 square feet, and it was best to be in a densely populated residential suburb, but not a prosperous area.

Lin Siqi also contacted several intermediary companies before finding a barely qualified store in northern Kowloon.

Lin Siqi said: "We found one in the north of Kowloon, this was originally a large supermarket, probably because the previous owner was too big, the supermarket opened was too big, and the flow of people next to it was not enough to support this kind of large supermarket, and it closed down after a few years of opening! But the area is only about 3,000 square feet. ”

"What kind of people are the people in that neighborhood? Xu Zhi didn't care too much about the area, in fact, he also knew that if he wanted to find a spare store with an area of more than 5,000 square meters in Xiangjiang, and it had to meet his requirements, it would be difficult, and it would be good to have a 3,000 square foot.

Lin Siqi said: "There are basically ordinary working-class people over there, and there are also many people from the New Territories who rent houses in the local area. ”

Xu Zhidao: "That means that their purchasing power is average." ”

Lin Siqi said: "Yes, this is how Shangjia's supermarket was forced to withdraw. I've seen all the neighborhoods around there, and I guess the purchasing power is very limited, is it really okay for us to open a clothing store over there?"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Why not? Our initial positioning of this store is for ordinary people, don't think that ordinary people have no spending power, as long as the price is right, to meet their requirements for cost performance, this will form a big market." ”

In this era, many people's concept is to grab the pockets of the rich or the middle class, as for ordinary people, many of them are just doing business by the way, but the history of later generations proves that all companies that grab the wallets of the poor people will rise to the sky: such as Wal-Mart, Coca-Cola, Uniqlo, ZARA, etc.

As for the Internet companies of later generations, this is even more so, there is a famous saying on the Internet: Those who get dicks win the world.

Google, Facebook, Tencent, Twitter, all the starting points.

Xu Zhi asked again: "Have you been in contact with the other party's landlord?"

Lin Siqi said: "We met in the intermediary company, but the other party did not negotiate. ”

Xu Zhidao: "The price he wants is very high?"

Lin Siqi said: "Yes, and he refuses to sign a long-term contract with us, only every two years!"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Is this guy a fool, who would accept such conditions?"

Lin Siqi said: "Yes, I asked in detail later, I found out that the landlord wanted to sell the shop, but the location was too poor, and the area was large, and no one dared to take over, but he was worried that his shop would be sold at any time, once he signed a long-term contract with us, I am afraid that the new buyer may not agree, and there will be a bunch of legal problems and liquidated damages." ”
