Chapter 014 Company opening

"Uncle Chuan, smoke a cigarette!" Shao Yongqiang saw Li Haichuan standing not far from him at some point, greeted him very politely, and handed the other party a cigarette.

Li Haichuan was stunned and forgot to reach out to pick up the cigarette. Shao Yongqiang posed for a cigarette, but the other party didn't answer for a while, which made him a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, Li Haichuan finally reacted, stretched out his hand and took the cigarette handed to him by Shao Yongqiang with a slight trembling, and squeezed out a very reluctant smile on his face.

Li Haichuan was only a small person at the bottom of Hong Kong before today, but now he has received cigarettes from the well-known community bosses in Hong Kong and Kowloon. He knew that this qiē was all earned by his son, and this pride made him feel as if he was ten years younger.

Shao Yongqiang is a proud person, he has seen Li Haichuan before, but he has never thought of taking the initiative to say hello. But he really admires Li Xuan, a student, and in just a few days of communication, he has regarded Li Xuan as an equal friend from the bottom of his heart. If he hadn't seen that Li Xuan was not in the pool, and the temple of Hele Hall was too small to accommodate this big Buddha, otherwise he really had the intention of forcibly pulling him into the club.

Even the brains and abilities that Li Ke showed during this period of time to prepare for the company also made him greatly change his opinion of his subordinate, a little brother who was originally not motivated. Because of these two brothers, Shao Yongqiang also has a little more sincere respect for Li Haichuan, who can cultivate such an excellent son.

Li Xuan, who was standing on the side, noticed his old bean's predicament and came up in time to solve the siege.

"Brother Qiang, thank you for that advance payment, otherwise the company's funds will really not be able to turn over!" The 120,000 principal prepared by Li Xuan before was quickly found to be insufficient when he actually set up the factory, but fortunately, Shao Yongqiang provided him with an order of 100,000 yuan in the name of the agent, so that he could complete all kinds of raw materials.

"Yes, after all, Ke Zai is my brother, and I want to thank you two brothers for giving me the opportunity to make money!" Shao Yongqiang also discovered Li Haichuan's restraint, and he figured out the reason as soon as his mind turned, and he also followed the words handed by Li Xuan.

"The factory has just started, and the workers are not proficient in operation, so they need to be familiar with it, and I estimate that the production speed will be enough in the near future. By the time it starts in October, it should be almost on track. I've got three of the hottest games on the market right now, and I originally planned to produce 100 units per month of each console once the factory was on track.

Opening a game hall with three different game consoles can barely support the scene, and then I will try my best to make one or two new game consoles!" Li Xuan knew what the other party was concerned about, and briefly introduced the situation in the factory to Brother Qiang.

This production speed is enough to supply Hele Tang to open up the market for Hong Kong game halls, and even the Hong Kong market cannot digest it. Of course, Li Xuan will not worry about Brother Qiang, the cross-regional cooperation between associations has long existed, as long as there is profit, Heletang will not be able to open up the channels of Taiwan, Macao and Southeast Asia in less than half a month.

After the firecrackers were released, Keji Electronics Factory officially started. Li Xuan had roughly calculated the profit of the factory before, and calculated with a monthly output of 300 arcade machines, the cost of raw materials for each arcade machine, plus the manufacturing cost, would not exceed 2,300 Hong Kong dollars. According to the calculation that he sent to Brother Qiang for consignment sales at the ex-factory price of 4,000 Hong Kong dollars per unit, Keji Company can create a profit of nearly 500,000 Hong Kong dollars per month.

Of course, Li Xuan has no intention of continuing to expand the scale of the factory, your factory size is small and pirates a few other people's game consoles, and those big manufacturers don't bother to pay attention to you. But once you get to a certain point, they will put pressure on the Hong Kong government to ensure their own interests.

According to Li Xuan's plan, in half a year at most, after he has accumulated a certain amount of capital, this Keji Electronics Company will be cancelled. Then he'll start a new company and really start his own gaming business.

However, the cooperation with Hele Tang is not something that you can withdraw from when you say that you can quit. Li Xuan had already calculated a way out, and during this time he was designing a new game console, which might be the favorite for a club like Heletang.

In addition to Shao Yongqiang, there were no other visitors to the opening of Ke Ke Company, and Zhong Chuhong was originally coming, but she temporarily received a call from the director last night. Before, an advertisement needed to reshoot a few shots, so she had to call Li Xuan early in the morning and say sorry, and Li Xuan didn't pay attention to it at all. Quietly entered the village, no one wanted to shoot, he wished that no one would know.

"Hey, Xuan Shao, we're busy to death, but you're so good, being the boss is different!"

Du Wenqiang found Li Xuan walking into the office, and opened his mouth to laugh, showing that he had an unusual relationship with his boss. He is actually a very discerning person, and he used to associate with Li Xuan and always called him Xuan Zai, but after Li Xuan hired him into the company, he immediately changed his name to Xuan Shao. According to him, friendship is friendship, but superiors and subordinates must be clearly distinguished, and it is very hurtful for a big boss to be called Xuan Zai by the company's employees.

Du Wenqiang's job is mainly responsible for burning game programs into chips, which at least requires someone who understands electronics to handle. In fact, with Du Wenqiang's strength, doing this kind of work is indeed a bit overkill.

But now that the company is start-up, Li Xuan will soon start school again, and a large part of his energy will be on school, and the rest of the time will focus on developing new games, which requires a person who understands video games to take charge of the technology.

"Xuan Shao, I have tried all three games on the computer with the simulator you wrote, you are so amazing, they are exactly the same as the original version!" Du Wenqiang squinted with a smile and patted his ass lightly.

Li Xuan has cracked the three games of Space Invaders, Asteroids, and Little Bees.

The design company of the Space Invaders, Japan's Taito Co., Ltd., originally designed the game with a tank, but because the baseboard processor they used was Intel8080, an 8-bit processor with limited computing power, the graphics had to be simplified in order for the game to run smoothly.

In the end, although it was a gimmick of space war, it was actually just a rudimentary shooter. From the top of the screen, rows of space invaders will appear constantly moving downward, and these invaders have only four shapes, flying saucers, octopuses, crabs, and squid.

The player takes on the role of a cannon at the very bottom of the screen and can move left and right to shoot. There are also four bunkers in the upper row of the cannon, and the enemies in the bunker don't care about him, the player only needs to destroy the enemies that are constantly approaching from the gap between the bunkers.

But the monster can't break through the bunker in front.,The player's cannon can break the bunker.,Over time, the speed of the monster moving down is getting faster and faster.,If the player is nervous and in a hurry.,It's easy to destroy your bunker.,And then the area that needs to be defended is getting bigger and bigger.,Finally, gameover.。

The 1978 version of the space invader Li Xuan had only played it once in his previous life, or because of nostalgia, so he specially found out to see what this game that left a strong mark in the history of arcade development was like.

Compared with other Japanese companies such as Namco and Nintendo, one of the most bizarre aspects of Taito's history is that its founder is a Jew of Ukrainian origin. He founded the company under the name "Taito", which means the Jewish company in the Far East, and the Taidong company's original business was to sell vodka imported from the Soviet Union in Japan.

Later, by chance, Taidong Company entered the video game industry, but it did not want to create a famous name, Bubble Dragon, Rainbow Island, Thunderbolt Racing, these games that are popular all over the world are its products.

Space Invaders was the first shooter in arcade history, and the Little Bee, released a year later by Namco, was a little more replayable. The little bee is borrowed from the space invaders, but it is not protected by bunkers, and the alien planes above will fly down from time to time to attack. As for another game called Asteroid, Li Xuan had never heard of or played it in his previous life.

When it comes to shooting games, Li Xuan's favorite thing to play, and he also thinks that the most classic must belong to the Weihu fighter, which was the standard configuration of the game hall along with the Three Kingdoms and the King of Fighters. When Li Xuan was a child, he liked to watch others play this game, those colorful bullets, the picture is very cool and cool.

This game seems to have been interviewed in the nineties, and when his strength is sufficient, he must develop it first, Li Xuan thought secretly in his heart.

ps: The work is related to the upload of pictures of space invaders and little bees, if you are interested, you can see what the most popular arcade pictures of the 70s were like.
