Li Zetian couldn't help laughing, he always copied Nintendo's products, I'm afraid it will cry and faint in the toilet, in fact, it really doesn't matter, because it won't be long before Sony will accompany you soon......

Li Zetian smiled, and then left Sunbird Company and went to Apple!

As for the secret weapon he mentioned, when the hardware engineers came, they would naturally say it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When he came to Apple, Li Zetian went to Tian Shuai's office.

"What's IBM's reaction now?" asked Li Zetian.

Tian Shuai poured a glass of water for Li Zetian and replied: "It is said that after Thomas Watson Jr. woke up from the hospital, he opened his mouth to say that he wanted to enter the personal computer, but he was quickly vetoed by the IBM board of directors. (IMB was founded by the Watson family)

"Uh, vetoed?" Li Zetian wondered, he thought IBM would enter the personal computer industry immediately!

"Yes,"

Tian Shuai explained, "Beginning on January 17, 1969, IBM encountered antitrust laws and began to be involved in protracted lawsuits. At present, IBM's computers occupy more than 67% of the global market share, and if IBM enters the personal computer industry at this time, it will be suspected of continuing to monopolize, and the US Department of Justice will impose a monopoly judgment on IBM!"

In 1971, Wang An Computer Company launched Wang An's word processing machine, and Thomas Watson Jr. also saw the huge market prospect of word processors, but IBM was deeply constrained by the US "Anti-Monopoly Law" at that time, and could not carry out a comprehensive counterattack against Wang An, so it could only stick to the lucrative field of mainframe and small computers. And this time it's the same! In my opinion, unless IBM can get out of the "Anti-Monopoly Law" very quickly, they will not enter the personal computer industry anytime soon. ”

It turns out that there is still this one!

While Li Zetian was happy, he also had hidden worries in his heart.

In other words, even IBM has been so miserable by the "Antitrust Law" of the United States, how should he solve this problem in the future?

Li Zetian shook his head and said in his heart, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain! When you have money, you should establish a strong team of lawyers to solve this problem for yourself!

In addition, even if the company is split into two companies due to the antitrust law, at most, the shares of one company will be turned into shares of two companies.

Li Zetian took a sip of water and said: "While IBM has not yet extricated itself from the 'Anti-Monopoly Law,' Apple must seize the opportunity to develop and grow rapidly! Recruit more outstanding talents to join our company, develop more advanced technology, and maintain our leading position in personal computers!!

Tian Shuai nodded: "Don't worry, I know how to do it!"

"Hmm. ”

……

The Sunbird Company has become famous in the industry, and it is much easier for Li Zetian to poach people. A few days later, Li Zetian poached four more powerful hardware engineers from other companies.

He then summoned the four engineers to his office for a meeting to announce the new project that was about to be developed.

"This time, we're going to do something very unique, it's called Game-Watch, a portable game console! Each console has a specific game that can be displayed on the LCD, so please see this is my design!"

As he spoke, Li Zetian sent a design drawing to the four of them.

The middle is the LCD, the left is the D-pad, and the right has two buttons, A and B, which is a very simple portable game console. Due to the current technology, only one game can be installed per console, which means that one console can only play one game.

The Game-Watch was Nintendo's first portable console, with a total of 32 million units sold. The second generation is the very famous Gameboy, with a total sales of more than 200 million units, it is the best-selling video game console in the world, and it can be exchanged for game cards on the machine.

After reading the design drawings, these four hardware engineers were full of praise!

"Mr. Li, once this little trick is made, it will definitely take the world by storm!!," one of the engineers swears.

"Hehe, I think so," Li Zetian said with a smile, "So, please develop it as soon as possible!"

"Yes!" the four replied in unison.

With Game-Watch, Sunbird can go from a single game software development company to a gaming giant with a game console platform! Third-party game developers who want to land on Game-Watch must cooperate with Sunbird!

If Sunbird fails to acquire Atari, then when developing its own home game console, it will be able to have a group of third-party game developers belonging to the Sunbird camp in advance!

Prepare for both, you can't go wrong anyway!

Li Zetian nodded, smiled slightly, and told them to do something! Then, Li Zetian went to the patent office and applied for the patent of Game-Watch, especially the "cross direction control key", which is simply a patent killer!

……

A week later, Apple-ll sales began to plummet.

However, this is normal, Apple-ll PCs are still quite expensive, low-income families will not buy Apple-ll, and the United States is currently in a recession, and many people's incomes have been greatly reduced. Apple's products are originally positioned as high-end products, so the number of users is naturally not very large.

A month later, Apple-ll PC sales totaled 18,000 units, of which 14,000 were low-spec and 4,000 were high-spec, reaching $30 million. After that, the sales volume will definitely not be as good as the first month, but Li Zetian has already thought of a trick, he plans to wait for Apple-ll sales to start cutting prices after exhaustion, and then launch Apple-ll-Plus enhanced version, these Apple's usual routines in the previous life, naturally use them decisively, and then make Yankee money crazy!!

Li Zetian estimated that Apple's sales this year are expected to exceed $200 million!

Of course, sales don't equal making so much money, you also have to remove hardware costs, distributor fees, taxes, and all kinds of expenses. But Apple-ll's products are very profitable, accounting for almost 35% of the selling price. Thus, this month alone, Apple earned at least $10 million.

In addition, Microsoft and Sunbird are also making a lot of money!

Microsoft Inc. has seen a surge in sales this month, selling nearly 8,000 copies of Excel for $200 each, or $1.6 million. In addition, there is a license fee for the Microsoft-DOS operating system, in order to occupy the market, the license fee is relatively cheap, $50 per machine, which is not only Apple-ll personal computers, but also other companies' personal computers, the license fee is about $1.5 million. There is also the BASIC program license fee, which is about $600,000. As a result, Microsoft's sales for the month reached $3.7 million, and the net profit was probably around $1.5 million.

In total, Sunbird sold more than 30,000 copies of the game this month, with sales of $3 million and a net profit of more than $2 million.

Although the company has made money, if it wants to develop the company quickly, the money must be invested immediately, such as Apple to open a flagship store, engage in technology research and development, advertising, etc., and the money earned will soon be burned out.

Despite this, Li Zetian still transferred $1 million from Apple's account to his own personal account, because he is very poor now, he doesn't even have $10,000 in his bank card, and he has neither a car nor a house, and he is not even as good as his own employees!

Li Zetian often laughed at himself: "Alas, the big bosses of Apple and Microsoft are so miserable, I'm afraid no one will believe it......
