Chapter 48: Unbelievable

Li Fangcheng thought about the situation around 1987, and couldn't help but light up in front of him, it was now the end of 1987, and IBM made a compatible machine, obviously it was impossible to start research and development in 1989, it should be now even a few months ago, so it was possible to launch a compatible machine in 1989, then, even thinking about it is very likely to be in contact with this matter now.

With the cooperation between Liu Chuanzhi and IBM, it is impossible not to have the slightest insight into IBM's actions.

Backwards from the time node, and now even thinking about it, I must be having a headache about how to deal with the research and development of IBM compatible machines. Thinking about this clearly, Li Fangcheng didn't hesitate any longer, and took Ling Donghua and Meng Hao across the doorway, walked to the door of a room and stopped.

"Is Mr. Liu Chuanzhi here?" Li Fangcheng knocked on the door.

"Who? Who are you?" asked a middle-aged man, a somewhat emaciated, bearded man.

"Hello, I am Li Fangcheng, the owner of Miracle Times Technology Co., Ltd., and I want to talk to your company about cooperation. Li Fangcheng said with a smile.

"Welcome, I'm Liu Chuanzhi. The bearded man stretched out his hand and said.

"Oh? Sure enough, it's better to be famous than to meet, I didn't expect Mr. Liu to be so eclectic. Li Fangcheng was a little surprised, and also stretched out his hand to shake it and said.

"Eclectic? Hehe, Li is always a reader. Liu Chuanzhi looked at this unusually young man and couldn't help but say a little weirdly.

"Where, if you have read a little book, you can't compare to Mr. Liu. Li Fangcheng said modestly.

"Hehe, modesty, this is modesty, come on, let's talk in the room here, I'm sorry, there are many people, the place is small, forgive me. Liu Chuanzhi said a little embarrassed.

"It's better to be small and fine than big and empty. Li Fangcheng smiled.

"Incisive, haha. Liu Chuanzhi looked at Li Fangcheng appreciatively.

"Or, Mr. Liu, how about we have a coffee or tea outside and give me a chance to be a host?" Li Fangcheng looked at the small room in front of him and said.

"It's... Okay, let's go. Liu Chuanzhi said a little embarrassed.

"I just passed by a coffee shop, it looks pretty good, why don't you go outside and the one around the corner?" Li Fangcheng and Liu Chuanzhi walked out.

"Okay, no problem. Liu Chuanzhi didn't insist, after all, he also knew that the place was cramped.

"By the way, my two members of the technical department, this one is Ling Donghua, a project director of our company, Ling Donghua, and this is Meng Hao from the technical group. Both of them are also masters in computer programming, and they also have a certain amount of research on Hanka, so if it is convenient, they will be left here to learn from Mr. Liu's men, and we will come back after the discussion," Li Fangcheng pointed at Ling Donghua and Meng Hao and said.

"Oh, you're already a technical talent at such a young age?" Liu Chuanzhi said with some skepticism.

"Hehe, this is nothing, these two boys, I don't know how thick the sky is, no, I just want to trouble you, let the technical experts on your side knock and knock, I don't know if it's convenient." Li Fangcheng smiled.

Ling Donghua almost didn't spurt out a mouthful of old blood, he didn't say that on the way when he first came! At that time, he said that he would show himself well when he got the opportunity, even if it was a slap in the face.

Who said this just now?? Ling Donghua was deeply aware of the gap between himself and Li Fangcheng, well, at least in the matter of shamelessness, it was a gap of 108,000 miles.

Liu Chuanzhi glanced at Ling Donghua deeply, and what responded to him was Li Fangcheng's sincere expression.

"Okay, let's go, I'll take them in and talk to Lao Zhang. Liu Chuanzhi is very confident in his vision of seeing people, and in the past few years, he has relied on this pair of eyes to recognize things and distinguish people.

"I'm sorry for you. Li Fangcheng nodded.

Ling Donghua and Meng Hao followed Liu Chuanzhi to the room at the beginning, Ling Donghua watched Li Fangcheng open his eyes again and talk nonsense, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up behind his back, this ability to talk nonsense, convinced!

Watching Liu Chuanzhi take the two into the communication room and come out after explaining, Li Fangcheng was also secretly happy.

In fact, this requirement is a trivial matter for Liu Chuanzhi and them, after all, they often have some junior brothers and sisters who come to observe and study, so it is not a matter of having two more people.

Li Fangcheng and Liu Chuanzhi sat down in the café, ordered two lattes, and chatted.

"I don't know what Mr. Li does. Liu Chuanzhi asked.

"At present, the company is doing games, and it will definitely expand its territory in the future. Li Fangcheng said with a smile.

"Making games?With all due respect, there doesn't seem to be a soil for the survival of games in China, right? The level of domestic consumption is not comparable to that of foreign countries, compared to the current countries in Japan, rice and even Europe, the purchasing power of China is ......." Liu Chuanzhi shook his head.

"The purchasing power of domestic is less than one-tenth of that of foreigners, right?" Li Fangcheng continued, Liu Chuanzhi said without saying anything.

"Haha, it seems that Mr. Li also knows that the domestic market is not big in a short period of time, to put it bluntly, the current families are still in the solution to various electrical facilities, game consoles are not yet in the ranks of necessities, can not form a rigid demand, the market will not expand and will not be vigorous. Liu Chuanzhi said his own explanation.

"Mr. Liu seems to have nothing to do with this matter, I don't know what Mr. Liu thinks about Nintendo and Sega. Li Fangcheng said.

"These two are now the dominant companies in the game industry, and the two behemoths occupy at least 80% of the world's market. If it can develop equally, it has the possibility of becoming a century-old enterprise. Liu Chuanzhi's answer was very decent.

"It's true, but it's a pity that it's not so much that the two occupy the world's market, but rather that it's actually Nintendo's dominance, and Sega barely supports it. Mr. Liu doesn't need to be so subtle, he can say it directly, hehe. Li Fangcheng said without hesitation.

"Haha, where, the game industry really doesn't know enough, but as far as I know, the current Sega in the home console market, is completely at a disadvantage, if Sega can't stand firm in the home console market in three or five years, it will basically be a total rout. And back to our country, this is the big problem, video games, for the current China, is still too far away. Liu Chuanzhi said a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Liu's understanding is incisive, indeed, in terms of the current situation of the Chinese people, video games are too far away, and there is not enough soil, I don't know if Mr. Liu has heard of the little genius, Kote these electronics factories. Li Fangcheng stirred the coffee.

"I've heard that they're all doing pirated game consoles and cassettes, some abilities, tinkering with a lot of things, it's a lot of money, in a short period of time, it's not bad, and it's going to be able to make a fortune in the blank market now, but if it's just like this, it won't become a climate after all, and it's two or three years, at most ten years, and it won't last after all. Liu Chuanzhi shook his head, not optimistic about these electronics factories.

"Yes, there is also the sadness of piracy, the technology is not good, the creativity is not enough, there is no market, in China, in addition to piracy, what else can be done?" Li Fangcheng thought of this word that people hated extremely much in later generations, and he was also a little emotional.

Piracy, copycats, so that Huaxia in the future, whether internal or external, has been criticized, from the origin of the game, and then spread, leather clothing, clothing, food and milk powder, novels and periodicals, music audio-visual, film and television works, variety shows, etc., to all walks of life, there is fraud.

Why are deep-rooted piracy copycats so fascinating, nothing more than a point, the speed of making money is fast enough, the cost is low, it is ready to use, and there is no need to spend research and development costs, creative costs, copyright fees, etc., you must know that when a product interview, the most expensive is often not the price of raw materials, but the time and manpower and material resources invested in the early research and development stage, as well as the publicity and promotion in the middle, and the after-sales service in the later stage.

But if it is piracy, everything is simple, no research and development, no publicity, no after-sales, just a few technicians, looking for alternatives, testing feasible, directly on the assembly line operation, so the profit of piracy is huge!

For example, in foreign countries, the price of an FC is almost 15,000 yen, and in China, it is almost 300 yuan, but after adding various taxes, it must be more than 500 yuan, and in Huaxia, where the average salary is only 96 yuan, it is equivalent to a family having to save for a year to buy one! Just think about it, you can see how unrealistic it is, and you can't sell much.

And the domestic pirated one, the price of a unit is about 100, which is about the same to play, and the price is several times cheaper, so that many families can barely accept it.

So this is the core reason why piracy has endured for a long time, profits, can make people devil.

Marx quoted the famous sentence in his book: "If there is 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, it becomes active; if there is 50% profit, it takes risks; for the sake of 100% profit, it dares to trample on all human laws; and with 300% profit, it dares to commit any crime, even the danger of hanging." ”

In the future, Xiaobawang's 1 billion assets, the proportion of profits obtained from piracy, can be compared, and it is impossible to run away with a profit of more than 500%.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Li, your company, is also doing ...... miracle era" As if remembering something, Liu Chuanzhi's face was a little unnatural.

"Hehe, I'm worried about it, Mr. Liu might as well take a look at this report, but we are a newly established company, so there is only one item in the content at present. Li Fangcheng handed the paper to Liu Chuanzhi.
