The controversy over the arcade and arcade industry in Japan lasted for a month before it gradually subsided. The end result was the announcement by the Government of the establishment of a special strategic committee to study the issue of youth education. Oriental Game Company also followed the trend by donating 100 million yen to the Committee Fundraising Foundation.

At the same time, the Japanese government acknowledges that the arcade industry has become a breeding ground for intellectual property piracy, mafia and money laundering, and that it needs to be more strictly controlled. The current Law on the Control of Entertainment Venues will soon be amended to bring the arcade industry under the jurisdiction of the police and be subject to the law.

This change undoubtedly formalized the arcade industry in Japan at the time, and the impact on Oriental Game Company was that the approval of the Guò police department was required for the launch of new game consoles in Japan in the future.

"Our situation in Hong Kong is similar to that of Japan, and Oriental Games, as a responsible company, should propose to the Hong Kong government how to learn from Japan. Let Hong Kong's arcades, like dance halls and nightclubs, be included in the special management of the police, which will be of great benefit to maintaining the healthy development of the entire game industry!" After the latest news came back from Japan, Li Xuan called Du Wenqiang to his office and instructed.

He thought for a moment and then said, "The previous attacks on us by Japanese newspapers have also exposed many shortcomings in the game industry. This is an emerging industry, and the system and norms are not perfect. In the European, American and Japanese markets, for example, the film industry, which also belongs to the entertainment industry, is relatively mature and has a perfect classification system. Directors can be bold and free to create, even if there is blood, violence, eroticism and other content, they can also use the guò classification system. Minors are excluded from the movie-going crowd.

Is it possible to join forces with other game companies in the United States and Japan to form a self-regulatory association for game providers? Responsible for self-rating all game content, which takes care of the creative freedom of the game creator while taking full account of the social impact. We are a foreign company. It is even more important to take the initiative in these aspects, otherwise it will become very embarrassing once you are excluded, and it is easy to be choked by someone!"

Du Wenqiang nodded vigorously, and agreed very much: "Mr. Li, your mention is good! But I estimate that the big companies such as Sega and Namco may not be very pleasing to us." We can start with small companies and get enough supporters, and then talk to those big companies!"

For more than a year, Oriental Games has been like a shining sun in the game industry, killing all sides in the field of handheld, home and arcade machines. Sega and several other large companies are direct competitors to the bayonet of the Oriental Game Company, so naturally they will not give them a good face. But for small companies. Oriental Games is the object they need to look up to, and they don't regard it as a competitor at all, so naturally there is not much hatred.

On the contrary, the myth that every game of the Oriental Games Company almost never fails, makes it very prestigious among small companies. In particular, more and more small and medium-sized companies have seen the platform value of Gameboy handheld consoles and FC home game consoles, and have hoped to cooperate with Oriental Game Company to become a third-party game supplier for both platforms. Now that Oriental Game Company has ascended to the top, it can also get a lot of responders.

"We don't want to sue this association, as long as we can ensure that our interests are not violated! There are no more very good works. Although it is still considered a large game company, it is actually a little lacking. ”

Li Xuan gently tapped the beat with his fingers and continued to analyze, "We can properly hold Taidong Company." Reach an offensive and defensive alliance with it first. Namco Club bought the rights to Pac-Man last year, and the game has been a big hit in the U.S. and Europe, and has sold more than 120,000 units so far. They must be so angry that they vomit blood!

But Namco's president, Masaya Nakamura, is a very calm old man, and he must not be rash. As long as we can get the support of enough game manufacturers. It won't be too difficult to convince him to show his strength! As for Sega's Hayabusa Nakayama, it should be as you said. Hate us to the core.

They were the ones who suffered the most from the rise of our company. So Sega must be put last, as long as all the other companies agree to set up a practitioners' association, if he refuses to comply, he can directly threaten to exclude Sega from the association!"

Du Wenqiang nodded, compared to the Japanese market, the United States is much easier to handle, and now the American market does not have a particularly strong game company except for Atari and Atari. The famous Sherakshan was still a family workshop, and Electronic Arts (EA) had not even been established yet. Atari's prestige in the American game industry has been greatly shaken due to the failure to contain FC game consoles, and Oriental Games has been qualified to compete with it.

The establishment of a supplier self-regulatory association is a cumbersome matter, and it needs to be negotiated by one company at a time. But if Oriental Games can do this as a leader, it can undoubtedly greatly enhance the company's position in the entire game industry. Du Wenqiang was very excited to take on this task, and prepared to go back to fully collect relevant information, and then formulate a detailed feasible plan, and finally put it into action.

At this time, Li Xuan had already embarked on a charter flight to the North Flying Continent. Mr. Fok Yingdong organized a Hong Kong delegation to visit the mainland has been completed, and a Boeing 737 passenger plane of Cathay Pacific Airways has been chartered to fly directly from Hong Kong to Beijing.

A total of 12 people participated in the delegation, including celebrities from politics and academia, in addition to a number of Hong Kong billionaires. For example, Mr. Chung Sze-yuen, the number one Chinese politician in Hong Kong, the chief member of both the Executive Council and the Legislative Council, and Professor Ma Lin, President and Vice-Chancellor of CUHK, etc.

The reason why Li Xuan readily agreed to Huo Lao's invitation was that he was unwilling to give up this rare opportunity to communicate with high-level officials in the mainland. In the past, he might have been worried about whether he would be labeled as a "pro-communist" politician.

But as the influence of the Oriental Company continues to increase around the world, Li Xuan has had the opportunity to come into contact with top political figures. For example, when he was in the United States, he had the privilege of having lunch with the newly incoming President of the United States, Ronald Reagan. Li Xuan was a big patron who threw $1 million to support him during the Reagan campaign.

At the lunch, in addition to expounding on the new administration's firm implementation of tax cuts and support for enterprise development, Li Xuan also took the opportunity to consult with him about the next US stance on China. Obviously, after actually sitting on the US presidency, Reagan no longer expressed a tough stance on China in order to cater to hawkish voters in his previous election campaign, but began to become moderate and friendly.

Now the number one enemy of the United States is still the Soviet Union, the red giant on the other side of the Iron Curtain. China, which has tense relations with the Soviet Union and a long border, is undoubtedly an excellent pawn for the United States to contain this number one enemy. Not long ago, China resolutely sent troops to teach Vietnam, the younger brother supported by the Soviet Union, a lesson, undoubtedly accepting the United States.

The friction on the Sino-Vietnamese border is still intermittent. This has brought about a positive change in the US government's China policy, which no longer regards it as a beast of prey, but an object that can be wooed. The Batumi Committee, which is controlled by the United States, began to relax the embargo on Chinese supplies, and the original long embargo list began to be continuously reduced.

The main markets for Dongfang Electronics' products are in Europe and the United States, which makes Li Xuan have to pay attention to his position many times. But now that the United States has relaxed its China policy, he finally does not need to tighten the strings as before, and can relax a lot.

"This is Professor Shu Bai of the University of California, Santa Clara, and his father is General Chen Jitang!" Ma Lin introduced Li Xuan to a man with a square face and a pair of short-sighted glasses sitting next to him.

"Hello Professor Chen!" Li Xuan said politely.

To people in other places, Chen Jitang was just a Cantonese warlord in the early Republic of China in history textbooks, but people in eastern Guangdong Province were much more familiar with him. He has ruled Guangdong for eight years, set up education, supported industry and commerce, and has done a lot of practical things, and now there are many older generations of people from eastern Guangdong, and Chen Jitang is still quite nostalgic.

Professor Teman of Stanford University in the United States proposed the idea of the "Golden Triangle" in the 50s, which was formed by universities, industry and government departments. Can the mainland also learn from the model of Silicon Valley in the United States, establish a new type of research university, encourage the industrial industry to invest and set up factories around the school, and then give policy support from the government to gradually develop an advanced electronics industry, so as to promote China's modernization cause?" stated Bai to Li Xuan to explain his idea of running a school.

His father, General Chen Jitang, attached great importance to education in his early years when he was governing eastern Guangdong, and Shu Bai can be regarded as inheriting his father's legacy. In fact, he had personally met Chiang Ching-kuo in Taiwan ten years ago and told him his idea of establishing a real university in Hsinchu, but unfortunately he died in the end due to various reasons.

In September last year, he was invited by Academician Qian Sanqiang, vice president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, to return to China to give lectures, during which he had the honor to meet Deng Lao at the Great Hall of the People and explain to him his hope that he would integrate theory and practice and set up a science and technology university that could be applied by students.

After a year of refinement and revision, Shu Bai finally came up with a feasible proposal recently. This time coincided with the Hong Kong delegation going north together, and he decided to go north together and take the opportunity to present it to the national leader in person. After listening to his idea, Li Xuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and he had some new ideas. But he wasn't in a hurry. After submitting the letter of construction of Shu Bai first, and getting the specific instructions of the central leaders, I will discuss with him in detail.

After a three-and-a-half-hour flight, the plane finally landed at Beijing-Beijing Airport. The mainland government attached great importance to the Hong Kong delegation to the north, sent a vice premier to greet them, and held a brief but warm welcome ceremony at the airport.

It was the first time Li Xuan had seen the scene of a group of children wearing red scarves jumping up and shouting "Welcome, welcome, warm welcome!" (To be continued......)
