"Oops, this game is so difficult!" Zhong Chuhong failed again, and couldn't help but spit out his little fragrant tongue.

"Your hands are too stiff, don't hold on to the joystick all the time, in fact, you only need to gently control the direction when turning!" Li Xuan patiently explained the game skills to his girlfriend, "Do you see these four bright spots in the four corners?" This is called a potential pill, after you control the elves to eat it, the movement speed of these little ghosts will become very slow in the next few seconds, and they will not have attack power until they return to normal. So you don't have to hide at all, you have to take advantage of this time to grab the beans!"

Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong are now at the Namco booth, trying out an arcade game called pac-man. It's a pity that the popularity of this arcade machine doesn't seem to be high, and it's far less popular than the other shooting game "Little Bee" on the side.

Li Xuan was very surprised in his heart, pac-man's Chinese name is Pac-Man, which is the most classic masterpiece of Namco, and the yellow bean elf has been used by Namco as the company's corporate image in later generations. Launched in 1980, this puzzle game quickly swept the world, directly ending the shooter craze caused by Space Invaders, and leaving a strong mark on the entire history of the game.

Later, in 2010, on the 30th anniversary of the game's release, Google specially designed the "Google" logo on the homepage as a game screen of Pac-Man to commemorate it. This shows how influential this game is all over the world.

Li Xuan had also considered stealing the game before, but he remembered that Namco seemed to have started research and development as early as 1979, so he didn't dare to start it. He never expected that such a classic game would meet such a cold reception at the electronics show.

Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong took a turn around several other booths in the game exhibition area, and finally returned to Dongfang Electronics' booth. Dongfang Electronics' main Gameboy handheld game console this time, the entire booth was covered with large posters of Gameboy, as well as posters of Hong Kong Cube, Tank Battle, Snake, Backgammon, and Highway that were listed at the same time.

The entire booth was already crowded with interested visitors. Li Xuan saw Ye Chengkang standing aside with a smile on his face, so he stepped forward and whispered a few words. Li Xuan asked the other party to immediately collect the relevant information of Namco's new arcade Pac-Man and hand it to him, and Ye Chengkang nodded and said that he understood.

Zhong Chuhong and Li Xuan did not stay at the booth of Dongfang Electronics for long, and the colleagues in charge of the exhibition work had already taken care of all the work in an orderly manner according to the planned plan. He nominally came to Japan to personally take charge of the listing of Gameboy, but in fact, he took the opportunity to bring his girlfriend to Tokyo to play.

This is the benefit of the company after it is on the right track, as long as he, the big boss, is the shopkeeper, and the following little brother will be responsible for the implementation of specific things. Li Xuan saw that he couldn't intervene, so he pulled his girlfriend and continued to go shopping. They decided to find out if there were any fun new gadgets that they could buy to take back to Hong Kong as gifts.

That night, Ye Chengkang sent the information that Li Xuan asked for to his desk. The Japanese branch has collected information on every new arcade game that has recently appeared on the market. Especially for the main competitors such as Sega, Taito, and Namco, the various numbers are very detailed.

Namco Co., Ltd.'s new "Pac-Man" arcade machine was officially launched half a month ago, but the market performance in the past half a month has been very ordinary. According to the number of Jù found by Dongfang Electronics, the total sales so far are less than 1,000 units.

It stands to reason that this period should be the period of explosive growth in sales of new consoles, but orders for "Pac-Man" are still tepid, which is very different from "Little Bees" released by Namco last year. It is said that even Namco itself has admitted that the "Pac-Man" project has failed, and is trying to sell overseas rights, hoping to recover as many costs as possible.

Li Xuan put down the information and shook his head a little incomprehensibly. In its previous life, Pac-Man was a worldwide hit, when players in the United States grew tired of Space Invaders and the series of shooters that followed it.

Pac-Man suddenly felt like a cool breeze and quickly won the hearts of players of all levels, including women and children. Since then, this puzzle arcade game has been out of control, and sales have continued to rise. In the U.S. market alone, it sold more than 100,000 units, and in the decades that followed, it was developed into a variety of merchandise and games.

Could it be that this "Pac-Man" is a typical example of flowers blooming inside the wall and fragrant outside the wall? Li Xuan was suddenly a little excited, could he take advantage of Namco's opportunity to look away and buy this game directly.

The arcade market does have some small changes because of the appearance of Li Xuan's butterfly, Tank Battle and Hong Kong Cube, two games that have never appeared in the arcade in the previous life, have been killing all over the world in the past six months. In particular, the popularity of tank battles further ignited the shooting game craze brought by Space Invaders, and other companies rushed to launch their own shooting games.

In recent months, several arcade games that mimic tank battles have appeared on the US market. Two of the games are even more naked and directly copied the idea of tank battles, with only a slight makeover of the background. Dongfang Electronics' legal department has sent them a lawyer's letter with righteous words, demanding that the other party immediately stop the infringement.

In such an environment, a small and fresh puzzle arcade game like "Pac-Man" is suitable for players to change their tastes, in fact, this has also been reflected in the order of Dongfang Electronics. The number of new orders for tank battles has begun to slow down, and orders for Hong Kong squares, which have been stable, have increased slightly.

In fact, Li Xuan didn't know that in his previous life, several famous arcade machines failed in the Japanese market and then completed a counterattack in the American market. These include Namco's "Pac-Man" released this year, and Nintendo's "Donkey Kong" released next year.

It was in the Donkey Kong arcade that the most famous plumber in the history of the game appeared for the first time - Mario. But in this life, Li Xuan has already let Dongfang Electronics take the lead in the development of "Mario Brothers", if Nintendo still has a plumber in "Donkey Kong" next year, he doesn't mind giving the other party a lawyer's letter. Of course, it is best to be acquired by Dongfang Electronics before next year, Nintendo because of debt problems.

"Brother Kang, I'm Li Xuan!" Li Xuan picked up the phone and called Ye Chengkang, "There's something you can deal with tomorrow! In the morning, I want you to find me some information about the Namco company, yes, I'm very interested in their company's latest arcade machine called "pac-man". Nangong Meng is peddling the overseas copyright of this arcade machine, you go and help me find out the wind and see if I can buy it out directly!"

Li Xuan hung up the phone and couldn't help but show a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, Namco, this bitter master, is really ashamed to think about it. His first pot of gold was made by pirating Taidong's "Space Invaders" and Namco's "Little Bee". After that, he shamelessly "originalized" "Tank Wars", which should have been released by Namco in 1985, in advance, and now he has extended his claws to Namco's most classic masterpiece "Pac-Man".

Of course, Li Xuan's shame only lasted for a few seconds before he was thrown into the garbage heap.

A beautiful woman in light silk pajamas was leaning against the bedroom door, smiling and firing at him, her delicate body was wrapped in translucent pajamas and loomed, indescribably charming.

Where could Li Xuan endure it, he immediately got up from the sofa, walked forward in three steps and two steps, picked up Zhong Chuhong by the waist, and strode towards the big bed in the bedroom.
