Chapter 357: No more, no less, just right

When Yamauchi Pu felt regret in Tokyo, Gu Wei, the target he hated, had quietly returned to China.

Hidden merit and fame.

The reputation of the home game console industry has just been ruined, and it is necessary to give consumers a cooling-off period of three to five months.

After Gu Biao laid everything out, before the harvest season, during the window period of these months, even if he stayed in the United States, there was nothing to do.

It's like Napoleon said: when you fail at one point, it's because you've been lazy at one point.

Successful people must endure delayed gratification, don't think about working today and being happy tomorrow, and always be happy.

Inexistent.

This is also the main reason why there are fewer and fewer successful and real business wars in the online literary industry in later generations - any logical business will not give you a chance to pretend to the end from hard work to gain.

They all opened five or six hard pits first, and then after the No. 6 pit was opened, the No. 1 pit began to harvest and force the grid.

In contrast, the coolness of playing games and reading traditional online articles is instantaneous.

I work hard to do a set of practice questions today, and I will be admitted to Tsinghua University tomorrow.

Even if it is more real, if you don't get admitted to Tsinghua University right away, then at least let the protagonist intuitively see the "progress bar of admission to Tsinghua University upgrade experience UP10%".

Less nonsense.

Let's talk about the reason why Gu Biao has to return to China.

In fact, it is very simple - in the summer vacation last year, Gu Biao talked to Motorola, Sony and other industry bigwigs about "holding the first EMC Compatibility Branch of the IEC Society", and it can no longer be delayed.

Motorola will launch the world's first analog signal cellular network mobile phone this year, which is the so-called "big brother" or "1G mobile phone" in later generations.

The finalization is about the second half of the year, and the mass production and distribution are estimated to be at the end of the year.

If Gu Biao delays the research and development of Motorola, then even if he has a "meritorious service" in this matter, Motorola will not be able to play with him.

In fact, it was supposed to be a meeting at the end of '82, and Motorola has been urging. It was Gu Biao who set up a name to strengthen the preparatory work as a reason, and tried to delay it until this moment.

Part of the reason why he dragged it out was that the domestic organizing committee did not do a good job of preparation. This is the first time that China has hosted such an international academic conference, and there is too much hardware to upgrade. Since Gu Biao is sending political achievements to the old leaders of the Ministry of Electronics Industry, of course, he must leave enough time for the domestic layout, and he must not make a fool of himself.

On the other hand, Gu Biao tried to reach a deeper strategic alliance with Sony's thigh, and then held this meeting, so as to squeeze more practical benefits from other alliance units.

Now, Gu Biao has reached a deep strategic alliance with Sony on the commercial application of 3.5-inch floppy drive/floppy disk standard and game consoles.

Therefore, the timing of the convening of the EMC Society of Electromagnetic Compatibility has reached the best state.

In other words, after the incident of "Atari is finished" happened, and consumers realized that "Gu Biao must be awesome", there was a time difference of half a year, who made consumers sluggish.

However, "Atari is finished" and "peers realize that Gu Biao wants to be awesome", then there is no time difference, and peers are all keeping an eye on the cutting-edge layout. So Sony suddenly raised the priority of cooperating with Gu Biao.

This is roughly equivalent to selling off-the-plan property, and the house has not yet been built, just to create some confidence or panic, and collect part of the money first. Sony is the one who buys low-priced off-plan properties, and consumers are the ones who end up buying high-priced existing homes.

At the beginning of February, Gu Biao took a long leave with Kissinger and returned to China for more than a month.

This vacation is not excessive, because, as mentioned earlier, American universities are divided into three months of vacation each year. They celebrate Christmas and New Year's Day only during the Spring Festival, so the winter break is from mid-December to mid-January.

And Gu Biao is not just Christmas, he stayed in Watson for the whole of December, in addition to being busy with business, he calmed down to help Kissinger write books, which can be regarded as fulfilling the duty of a doctoral student.

Now, he just delayed the winter vacation that should have been taken by a month to cooperate with the Chinese tradition of celebrating the Spring Festival, which is of course not mindful of human nature, and the school will not obstruct it.

There is not just one Chinese student who does this, but most of the other students are too poor to afford a plane ticket to make a round trip to the Pacific Ocean during the winter vacation.

……

On Feb. 5, after taking care of the company's affairs in San Francisco and personally interviewing a group of layoff technicians recruited from Atari, Gu Biao boarded a transoceanic flight and arrived in Xiangjiang 14 hours later.

San Francisco doesn't have flights to Shanghai these days, so there's no way.

Chinese New Year's Eve in 1983 was February 12, a week before the Chinese New Year.

As for the schedule of that international conference, it will start after February 15, after all, Gu Biao also has to set aside time for foreign adults to spend Valentine's Day in China. At the same time, it is impossible for the Chinese to come to the meeting on the second day of the new year.

Gu Biao can take the time to spend a relaxed and peaceful year with his relatives and friends first.

However, with a busy person like Gu Biao, since he came to Xiangjiang on the way, he would not waste time just passing by.

Before he got on the plane, he asked the secretary to help arrange the itinerary and figure out what he was going to do when he passed through Xiangjiang this time.

The tentative itinerary is: first, he should visit Huo Ye and Huo Shao, thank you for the real estate cooperation project in Vancouver, and deepen cooperation and boost each other's confidence.

The small action of the Vancouver property market began to be laid out in October, and now it has been three months. The work of buying land and buying existing houses has been completed, and four or five billion dollars have been spent.

The total capital of the two companies, including loan financing, is $800 million. The rest is not used to buy land, but for subsequent commercial operations, and even to demolish the old and build a new one, and build a high-rise building in downtown Vancouver.

Historically, the Brittans did things in Xiangjiang, about 83 years of the "September Wave", Hong Kong stocks and Hong Kong dollars were suppressed by the policy market and plummeted, creating panic and running on the rich to flee.

Now, history has been changed by Gu Biao, whose general expectation is that the scale of the Bretonians' hands will be smaller, but the preparations will also be faster. Therefore, the "September Wave" may become July and May, but the effect and intensity will be reduced.

Huo Ye's real estate development company only needs to ensure that when July or May comes, those high-rise projects under construction in downtown Vancouver can have a cement skeleton and sell "off-plan" properties.

Canadians in the 80s may think that it is too bullying to ask people to pay the full price of a house before they see it, and they will not buy it.

But if you want to emigrate and flee to the Xiangjiang people, you will definitely buy it. Who let the people of Xiangjiang have been bullied by the upstairs and get used to it.

In addition to visiting Huo Ye, Gu Biao also had an arrangement on his itinerary, which was to find Mr. Scumbag on the way to pocket the game adaptation rights of 14 martial arts at a low price.

This matter could have been relieved, after all, the performance of the FC game console is not enough to develop "The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes" and even other RPG games.

However, considering that this year, TVB will shoot a new wave of martial arts adaptations, and the influential 83 version of the Condor Shooting. Historically, this Condor is much more influential than the 82 version of Tianlong Babu (played by Liang Jiaren) and the 82 version of the Condor (filmed at the end of 82 and played by Andy Lau).

The 83 version of Condor Shooting is also the first large-scale martial arts drama in TVB martial arts that has gotten rid of the routine of "excessive magic change of script, must create only a trace of humanity in extreme evil, and has not yet destroyed the ultimate invincible boss", which relatively respects the original work. Since then, the price of martial arts' peripheral adaptation rights has also begun to rise.

Therefore, it is better for Gu Biao to start early.

However, some people may wonder: since the sooner you buy the IP adaptation rights, the cheaper it is, why didn't Gu Biao buy it two or three years earlier?

At that time, Gu Biao should already have sufficient liquidity to do this?

This is, of course, because the algorithm of this business is not so simple.

Mr. Zhai's routine of selling adaptation rights has always been "the store bullies the customers, the customers bully the store", that is, if the filming party is powerful, he will charge a lower price, for example, when the CCTV version of the future generations has a few to be adapted, Mr. Zha only symbolically charged 1 yuan.

But if you are a small producer and you are not famous, he will ask you for 100,000 yuan.

The ideal of the Tao is actually very simple: the TV station has great influence, and after filming, it is also good for expanding the popularity of martial arts itself, of course, it must be sold cheaply. If the TV company is a small workshop, not many people can see it after filming, so don't kill who you slaughter.

After the opening of the later SHOPPING-MALL, the best stores on the first floor are all Lane Crawford series, such as Donkey Gucci Prada and Hermes Chanel.

Many consumers may wonder if these stores may not be able to sell a bag/clothes in a day when they are open there, so isn't the high rent of the Golden Wangpu a loss?

But in fact, they really can't lose, because SHOPPING-MALL like Wanda Plaza doesn't ask these top luxury brands for rent, and they invite you to settle in for free, so as to enhance the positioning of the mall.

The rent is distributed to other small brand stores, and they earn it back by squeezing small brands. This is the premium of brand goodwill, and if you don't have fame, you deserve to be a dog.

THE SAME GOES FOR RESTAURANTS IN SHOPPING-MALL, WHERE STARBUCKS PIZZA HUT DOES NOT PAY RENT. If you want to open a new brand of small catering next door to Pizza Hut to gain popularity, you will pay double rent, and you will support Pizza Hut.

In the cultural industry, the sale of IP adaptation rights has been the same rule for decades, and small TV stations and small production companies have paid for adaptations for TVB and CCTV.

As a result, it is not difficult to see Gu Biao's calculation that he has not made a move until now: he needs to catch up before the 83 version of the Condor appears, which leads to the overall price increase of IP.

He also needs to catch up with the "I'm a global leader in the video game console industry" and the FLAG.

Because only when the status of the rivers and lakes is clear, Mr. Scum will regard Gu Biao as the kind of character of "the big bully", thinking that "only by taking refuge in Gu Biao can the martial arts theme be carried forward in the future video game industry", and then sold half of the adaptation rights and gave him half of the adaptation rights at a low price.

And this could not be done before the fall of Atari and the flag carried by Gu Biao.

The timing is just right.
