From time to time, there are some small gatherings in Silicon Valley, and Su Mu rarely went to them before.

Now that I know the importance of making connections, in the small pond where Silicon Valley is gradually becoming a trend of rivers and seas, there is also a name for himself, at least many people know about him, and he has also attracted a lot of capital forces, and wants to invest in Penguin to gamble on the future, since it is a gamble, the bid is naturally not high, Su Mu all refused.

There are actually so many high-tech companies that can make money in Silicon Valley, not counting those who do computer hardware, after Oracle and Microsoft, they can no longer find large companies, and those peers rely on gimmicks to hype the future, one shouts fiercer than the other, and in the end they still have to rely on capital, and it is difficult to move an inch without money.

Su Mu sold a very potential fun purchase, the funds in hand are temporarily enough, coupled with the gradual increase in Penguin computer sales, this year's profit is expected to exceed 45 million, naturally there is no need to do that thing of killing chickens and eggs.

After reading the invitation letter, put it aside, poaching people from each other in the end, everyone is hurt, ordinary employees are gone, and the core members of the project leave, the whole project may be unsupported, these giants plan to reconcile and form a "coalition against poaching".

Speaking of Larry Ellison rummaging through Microsoft's trash cans, this incident has become a hot news in Silicon Valley, hiring commercial spies to rummage through the trash cans, trying to find evidence of Microsoft's illegality, and he was complacent afterwards, saying at a press conference: "We want to expose Microsoft's secret activities, it's true." I think it's a very good thing to do, it's a bit barbaric, but it's not illegal, and we swear to tell the truth!"

Later, he said that he was joking with Gates, a Silicon Valley, there are always endless interesting things to tell every day, Ellison is a well-known-stirring stick, when it comes to enjoyment and pickling girls, Su Mu is a lot worse than him, and now this guy and Jobs are neighbors, and they don't know how to play together.

When trying to install the chat software, Su Mu said to Mr. Kurno, the head of the game project: "The progress of the game is a bit slow, so how about you try to contact a few game companies and port the arcade game directly to the PC?"

"I asked the public relations department to contact me, but unfortunately no one agreed, it is more difficult to open a game than an ordinary program, in fact, there are three games that may be completed this month, namely "Air War", "Air Combat 1941", and "Heap of Blocks". ”

Kurno has a lot of experience in the game industry, first made arcade machines, and later became the head of Apple's game project, and was easily poached by Su Mu with a high salary.

At the end of the eighties, computer games were first developed, and now the game project team named "Ladybug" began to develop several mini-games.

Su Mu knows that PC games should have a very good market in the future, but the original intention of opening these games is mainly to make his company's computers unique, and he intends to adopt "game entertainment" as the style of Penguin computers when other companies mainly promote the concept of "office".

Imagine a computer with more than ten kinds of games, it is always more attractive to young people than the lifeless "office", and now the customers who buy computers are mainly young people, Su Mu just came from that age, and now there are still arcade machines everywhere, look at Li Ping'an, Du Zhong, who was addicted to playing games, most of them should be a little market.

Li Ping'an came up with this idea, and complained more than once that there were too few interesting computer games, and after discussing with Su Mu, he decided to make a personal computer with higher GPU and CPU performance and optimized for games.

For now, the impression of the computer in people's minds is mainly in the office and typing, which makes the customer group narrower, Su Mu feels that the computer should be used for entertainment, and the office is only secondary, so there is a dispute with Blake, and finally she took a step back.

Entertainment programs are important, games are also very important to Su Mu, unlike those programs that are promoted for free in the early stage, the game can be sold to the outside world, not to mention how much money can be made, with income, the current loss will definitely be smaller.

Then he said to Mr. Kurno: "You don't have to worry about the negotiation with those game companies, I will send someone to ask about the game that I have made, and now the game made by the book is more popular than our game, and whether or not to make money is secondary, and now the main thing is to make the ladybug game company famous."

After finishing these small games, I want to make a big game, the kind that can be played for a long time, similar to "Contra" and "Level Mario", if possible, even if I lose money, I want to take their PC agency, can you design a plan? Similar to "Contra", the kind that kills all the way, you can pick up equipment and keep breaking through the level. ”

The two most popular games on the market now are "Contra" and "Level Mario", not only in this book, but also quite popular in the United States, it is not surprising that Su Mu is eyeing them, the former was put on the market in 1987, and the latter only appeared in 1985, these two are now synonymous with games and are popular all over the world.

Mr. Kurno made a difficulty, his personality is relatively calm, and he will not open his mouth to say big things, "Sue, you also know that our company, although there are many people, but most of them have no experience in opening games, especially PC games, there are too few talents in this area." If there is a good plan, I am sure that it will be opened, but it will take a long time, maybe two to three years, and those big games are not the same as the small games we have today. ”

"I didn't let you reach the height of these two games, but at least it can't be too bad, let's start planning first, I'll allocate you research expenses next month, just tell me if you need anything. ”

Su Mu leaned back in his chair and asked, "Wouldn't it be better to buy one or two ready-made game companies with a lot of talent in this field?" It is said that there are many people in Silicon Valley who are working in games, and they have never acquired any company before, so mergers may be a good way to shorten the exhibition time. ”

Nodding affirmatively, Mr. Kurno said: "Of course, they have experience, I would rather kick some of the guys who are not suitable for the game to other project teams, and give up the position to experienced people, it will definitely be much easier!"

"You give me two lists, those who are not suitable for staying in Ladybug Games, and game companies with good potential, forget it, just give me the list of the former, I will send someone to investigate the company myself, and I can always find the right one."

Many people's internship period is about to end, James, if anyone has no real ability, then give a severance pay and kick it out, recruit so many employees at once, there are always some guys who fish in troubled waters, this matter is hard for you. I know that it is difficult to find a job now, but we are not doing charity when we open a company, so much money is invested in it, and there must be a return. ”

"I understand that 66 Renewal has been persuaded to retire a lot, and each project leader will be assessed regularly, so it is not troublesome to deal with. ”

James said, after working for so many years, his personality is much calmer than when he first met, his brain is smart enough, and he loves to learn, otherwise Su Mu would not have handed over the position of operation officer to him just by virtue of friendship.

After chatting for a while, after the two left, Su Mu lay on the chair with his eyes closed and thought about things, the office was as simple as ever, sand, bookshelves, desks, plus potted flowers, and there were not many other things, and he was always worried about building a luxurious office headquarters in the future, so he was too lazy to work hard in this office.

With the idea of building a building, the struggle is full of motivation, which is a good thing, not afraid of having what you want, just afraid of not having anything you want, really no desire, just like Su Mu's father Su Dingcai, naturally slackened, life is comfortable, yes, there is something missing.

Selling the shares of the fun purchase market, in fact, there is already money to buy land and build a house in Silicon Valley, or buy a private jet, but thinking of these companies that swallow money now, there is always some reluctance, and the number of times I go out is not much, I feel that it will not take a few times to buy a plane, thinking of this, Su Mu decided to drag it back, as long as he makes money, he has to worry about not being able to buy what he wants.

Internet users have doubled in half a year, mainly thanks to text links, knowing that companies are preparing, large companies are preparing, small companies are preparing, and there are many aspiring guys who are rushing to Silicon Valley.

In the past, I couldn't see what the Internet could do, but now many people are aware of business opportunities, and Su Mu's online news website has just been built, and peers have already appeared, and there is indeed no shortage of smart people in this world.

A penguin is fighting to the death with its peers, and it will have to compete with so many Internet companies in the future, and I have a headache when I think of this, muttering to myself: "It's hard to make money......" ()
