At the end of the press conference, people had mixed reviews about electronic pets, the key is that many people were full of expectations for Flamingo, but they didn't expect Flamingo to launch such a simple game, which was a big disappointment. The higher the expectation of the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the higher the disappointment.

On the same day, Warner Bros. bought many media outlets, deliberately singing about Flamingo and Li Zetian.

"Chronos Li has exhausted his talents, and his game design talent has been completely lost!"

"Electronic pets are shoddy, and they are extremely garbage!"

“……”

All sorts of negative news flooded the national newspapers.

However, by the next day, electronic pets landed in major shopping malls across the United States, and countless students flocked to it early in the morning, and electronic pets in major shopping malls were sold out. For a while, those who were not optimistic about electronic pets were dumbfounded.

"How can such a simple game be so popular?!"

Their hearts were full of doubts.

Warner Bros. and Sunbird Inc. could not help but be shocked, and at the same time, deeply felt that a huge crisis would befall in the near future.

To everyone's astonishment, within a week, the Flamingo Company was in a frenzy of electronic pets across the United States. Whether it is a student, or an office worker, whether it is a young person, or an old person, they all have a soft spot for electronic pets, and in just one week, Flamingo sold more than 400,000 electronic pet game consoles for $50 each, or $20 million in sales.

This whirlwind of electronic pets has just begun, and then set off an electronic pet boom in Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Europe and other regions.

A month later, electronic pets swept the world, almost becoming a phenomenal game, the flamingo company became famous, and Li Zetian was hailed by the media as the "father of electronic pets".

ABC TV supporter said: "The popularity of the digital pet has made the Flamingo company famous! This shows us that games don't have to be complicated, simple can be more popular!"

Los Angeles Daily News: "Flamingo is a menacing company that can set off a world gaming frenzy with a simple animatronic pet, but what will be the impact of their carefully developed TV games? Will Sunbird be able to retain its dominance in the home console space?"

New York Journal: "The rise of a new gaming giant is unstoppable!!

Wall Street Journal: "Warner Bros. shares plummet, CEO Kevin Smith could be fired from the board!"

“……”

In a month, the sales of electronic pets reached 3.4 million units, with sales reaching $140 million, which not only brought great fame to the flamingo company, but also made huge profits. With the money, the Flamingo company can continue to recruit, expand the company's strength, and speed up research and development. At present, the company only has more than 1,000 people, although it is also a large company, but it is still far from the game overlord.

There is no doubt that the production capacity of Flamingo cannot meet the needs of the market, and then Nintendo will learn from Nintendo to establish a royalty system and open the Flamingo game platform to third-party manufacturers, in addition to the need to purchase a high development platform during development, it also needs to pay different royalties according to the sales situation and comply with the following three harsh conditions:

1. Third-party manufacturers are required to only release 5 games per year;

2. To review each Flamingo game platform game;

3. Third-party manufacturers need to predict the sales quantity of their own products, and then the game cartridge will be made by Flamingo, and the production fee will be paid by the third-party manufacturer.

Under such rules, the Flamingo Company can make a lot of profits, while completely throwing the risk to third-party manufacturers, and still ensure the quality of the game

Of course, the premise of all this is that the Flamingo console can beat the Atari 2600 and dominate the home console market.

Flamingo's first sword debut shocked the industry, and at this moment, a number of third-party manufacturers have contacted Flamingo to express their willingness to develop games for the console platform being developed. However, it was rejected by Li Zetian, first of all, the development of the game console is confidential, and the detailed data cannot be leaked for the time being, so as not to cause plagiarism. Secondly, a group of companies that develop junk games came to the door, and if they used their games, wouldn't it be a smashing of the Flamingo company's signboard!

With the games currently under development, the Flamingo Company is able to crush the Atari 2600 and ascend to the supremacy! At this time, the Flamingo Company has a huge right to speak, so it negotiates terms with third-party manufacturers and forces them to agree to their demands! As for now, these third-party manufacturers think that they are helping Flamingo by developing games for Flamingos, and they are sending charcoal in the snow, so the conditions they put forward can be imagined......

However, they didn't think about it at all, did the Flamingo company need help?

When Flamingo releases the console, these game manufacturers will be shocked!

……

Electronic pets are still in hot sales, becoming a stable source of income for the flamingo company, and its follow-up works are also under development, due to technology and hardware limitations, in fact, it is also in the shape, color, pet type and some small functions to make improvements, such as infrared connection, mail, multiple pets in one machine, photography and other powerful and sticky functions can not be realized, not that it can't be done, but even if it is made, the price will be too expensive, and it can't be sold.

The media is always full of curiosity about legends like Li Zetian, and the success of the electronic pet has made him the focus of the media and the general public. Since the release of the electronic pet, the Flamingo company has not taken any action, and media reporters have tried several times to inquire about some exciting news, but in vain. Before the Flamingo launched the console, everything was in high secrecy.

As a result, the media abandoned the goal of Flamingo and turned to focus on the other two companies founded by Li Zetian, Galaxy Network and Sun Computer Systems, only to make them even more disappointed, Sun Computer Systems is low-key and outrageous, and they don't know what it is researching. As for Galaxy Network, there are no products in development at the moment, and they are working on Ethernet and TCP/IP protocols, and they feel that there is no future.

A reporter said, what the hell is Ethernet and TCP/IP protocols? I've never heard of it...... Not newsworthy at all.

The chaff in the eyes of others is regarded as a treasure by Li Zetian.

In addition to developing games at Flamingo, Li Zetian often pays attention to the development of Galaxy Network.

Xerox sat on the mountain of gold without knowing it, and gave it to Galaxy Network Company. After some efforts, Tian Shuai and Zhang Yan successfully defrauded Xerox of the technology authorization under the pretext of improving and promoting Ethernet technology, and became one of the formulators of Ethernet protocol standards.

Dare to ask which computer wants to go online without a network card?

After Li Zetian received the news, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, Galaxy Network Company has taken the first step to success, and the future network equipment giant is just around the corner!

He instructed Tian Shuai: "Start developing network cards, and at the same time contact IBM, DEC, HP, Apple and other companies to seek cooperation!"

"I'm afraid of Apple?" Tian Shuai hesitated with a difficult face, if other companies developed network cards, Apple might choose to cooperate, but Galaxy Network Company was founded by Li Zetian, and the two sides had some conflicts before, and they were not happy with each other.

"Try to talk about it, although Apple has been suppressed by IBM, it still accounts for a lot of market share!"

"Okay!" Tian Shuai nodded, and said in his heart, there is no way, I can only talk to Apple......
