In this era when games are still in the wilderness, the success of Game-Watch and "Chinese Cube" has made Sunbird suddenly the most famous game company in the world, and of course, it is also quite profitable, which makes other game companies jealous. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Many people want to know how much money Sunbird made in this year!

Yes, by the end of the year, the annual financial statements of each company have also been released. The financial statements of Sunbird Company also came out, and on December 31, when Li Zetian saw the financial statements, he couldn't help but say with great emotion: ", it's better to make money by making games!!

In 1981, Atari set a record $1 billion in revenue, and the entire game industry grew rapidly, making the game industry more than twice as much as the Hollywood film industry and three times the revenue from baseball, basketball and soccer tickets combined. What's even more awesome is that in 1992, the profitability of RB Nintendo's game console alone was comparable to that of the entire Hollywood film industry, and exceeded the combined profitability of the three major domestic television networks in the United States.

Sunbird previously sold 240,000 copies of the game on Apple-ll PCs for $100 each, bringing its revenue to $24 million.

From the Christmas shopping spree on December 25 to December 31, nearly 600,000 Game-Watches were sold, priced at $150 each, and the revenue reached $90 million.

Sunbird had an annual revenue of $114 million and profits of more than $50 million, which was insane! However, in 1976 there would be more game project development, as well as the development of arcade and home game consoles, which would be very expensive.

Apple's annual financial statements are also very impressive, if you don't count the 100,000 Apple-ll orders from the U.S. government, then a total of 15,000 Apple-l PCs and 104,000 Apple-ll PCs were sold, with sales of up to $200 million. However, Apple's expenses are huge, huge staff expenses, the establishment of headquarters, technology research and development, the establishment of flagship stores, the establishment of Seagate, the stake in Dolby Laboratories, the establishment of Star Wars Films, etc., it has spent more than 60 million US dollars, and at the end of the year, the company only has more than 37 million US dollars left on its books. In addition, the company still owes the bank 20 million US dollars, but Li Zetian does not plan to pay back the 20 million US dollars immediately, but uses it to increase technology investment in research and development. Moreover, the bank does not urge, and it is eager to have interest on the loan.

Microsoft's annual financial statements are also very good, also in addition to the US government's 100,000 Excel spreadsheet orders, Microsoft also sold 80,000 copies, as well as 255,000 Microsoft-DOS operating system licenses and 314,000 BAISIC language program licenses, revenue of more than 34 million, net profit of more than $16.5 million.

At the end of the year, it is natural to pay bonuses and dividends.

Sunbird Company, Li Zetian decided to take out $4 million to reward employees, and shareholders did not pay dividends.

Apple, Li Zetian decided to spend $7 million to reward employees, and shareholders did not pay dividends.

Microsoft Corporation, Li Zetian decided to spend $4 million to reward employees, and shareholders will not pay dividends.

The reason why shareholders do not pay dividends is that the company also needs funds for rapid development.

According to personal contributions, Tian Shuai, Zhang Yan, Wozniak, Jobs, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, Gary Kildare, the father of the operating system, and others all received bonuses of more than $200,000, and Li Zetian himself also received bonuses, and he shared $400,000 in these three companies, that is, $1.2 million.

Li Zetian contributed the most, and the bonus points were the most, so naturally no one gossiped.

What's more, although Li Zetian is not the CEO, his salary is also the highest among everyone, with an annual salary of $100,000, and a total of $300,000 at the end of the year.

Li Zetian previously took $1 million from Apple, and then spent $875,000 to buy a car, and there was still about $125,000 in deposits left in the bank card, 125,000 + bonuses + salary, and now it naturally became $1.625 million. When Li Zetian saw that he had so many deposits in his personal bank account, he really realized that he was a super-rich man! He approached the founder of Starbucks and bought it for $1.6 million. After that, Starbucks was allowed to operate independently according to the previous development model. Li Zetian is not proficient in this industry, so he doesn't want to interfere too much, and waits for the arrival of Howard Schultz with peace of mind.

Make money ox X, spend money more ox X.

In a blink of an eye, the deposit on Li Zetian's bank card was only $25,000, is this still a billionaire's bank card?

In this regard, Li Zetian could only cry without tears......

1976 began, a new year, a new atmosphere.

Li Zetian has four most important plans: the release of the Walkman tape Walkman, the listing of Apple, the acquisition of Atari Inc., and the acquisition of the microprocessor division of Intel Corporation.

In recent days, Li Zetian has heard that Atari and Warner Bros. have been in frequent contact. He knew that it wouldn't be long before Atari would sell to the other party. In 1976, Atari was sold to Warner Bros. for $28 million.

In fact, this Christmas holiday, Li Zetian originally planned to go on vacation with Yu Jingqiu, but because the acquisition of Atari was imminent, Li Zetian devoted all his energy to preparing for the acquisition of Atari.

Today, Atari's founder, Nolan Schner, uses a very profitable method: selling machines at a low price for almost no money, and then bringing him a lot of money with constantly updated game cards! Not only does producing game cards require advanced craftsmanship, but there is also a fixed cost of around $10 per piece, which means that a newly developed game could shake the company's financial foundation if it is not popular.

In the past few years, the Christmas shopping festival has been a period of super hot sales of Atari products, but this year, due to the impact of Sunbird Game-Watch, the sales of Atari products are very unsatisfactory, which in turn leads to a large backlog of game cards, which makes Atari company carry an extremely heavy burden. In search of funding, Nolan Schneel contacted Warner Bros.

Li Zetian wanted to say, why don't you come to contact Sunbird Company?

Of course, peers are enemies, and if Li Zetian was in Nolan Schner's position, he would definitely not take the initiative to contact the other party.

Sunbird Company, Conference Room.

Li Zetian sat in the first place and announced in a serious tone: "Atari is now in contact with Warner Bros., and this is a great threat to our Sunbird Company! If Warner Bros. acquires Atari, it will certainly increase its investment and development of the second-generation home game console, and at that time, we will inevitably face a more powerful competitor than the current Atari! For the sake of today's plan, in order to eliminate this potentially huge threat, it is time for our Sunbird Company to take the initiative!! ”

"Wu Guangguang, as soon as the meeting is over, immediately launch a takeover offer to Atari Company!"

"Yes, Mr. Li!!"
