"Dood-to-doo-!

Tomomasa Takeno was fascinated by playing a game, and suddenly the alarm clock on the game console in his hand kept ringing, which made him come back to his senses from the state of being distracted. Ash turned his head to look out the window and saw that the train was slowing down and slowly stopped on the platform at Shizuoka Station.

Takeno reluctantly turned off the power switch of the gameboy handheld game console in his hand, put him in his pocket, and then sorted out the belongings he was carrying and prepared to get out of the car. His family lives in Chiyoda, Tokyo, and he took advantage of the fact that he didn't have to go to school this weekend, so he took the Shinkansen early in the morning to visit his grandfather and grandmother in Shizuoka Prefecture.

Last week, Ash's tablemate bought a GameWatch console and suddenly became the focus of the class. This made Takeno very envious, so yesterday, he deliberately took out his piggy bank, poured out all the pocket money he had saved on weekdays in the jar and counted it, and found that it was 8,700 yen.

Tomoshi Takeno had planned to go to a toy store and buy a handheld game console that was the same as his table. But when he arrives at the toy store, he finds it full of new handheld consoles called Gameboy.

The handheld console, called Gameboy, was 800 yen cheaper than the one he bought at the same table. According to the boss, this machine has just been launched, and the opportunity is rare. So under the enthusiastic recommendation of the boss, Ash picked up a prototype room and played for a while.

To Takeno's great delight, the game that comes with this Gameboy turned out to be his favorite Hong Kong square. In the past, Ash didn't like to go to the smoky game hall very much, and he was dragged by his classmates to play once, and he was deeply fascinated by a stacking block game called Hong Kong Cubes in the video game room.

The Hong Kong cube should have been invented by Hong Kong people, right? Takeno secretly guessed in his heart that according to his parents, Hong Kong is a shopping capital, and there is no need to pay taxes to buy things there, and it is cheaper than in Japan.

Since playing the arcade machine of Hong Kong Blocks for the first time, although Takeno still hates the foul air in the game room, as long as he has coins in his pocket, he can't help but go in and play for a while every time he passes by when he comes home from school.

In the future, I finally don't have to go to that noisy place anymore, and Takeno decided to pay for a Gameboy without thinking about it. And he had 8,000 yen on him, which was enough to buy another game card after selling the game console.

Ash weighed between "Tank Wars" and "Highway" for a while, and finally decided to choose "Highway". His dad is a racing fan, and since he was a child, he has taken Ash to watch various racing competitions, and although "Highway" is not a racing game, it is also a speeding on the highway, and he has to constantly move left and right to avoid roadblocks, which makes him very relatable.

Ever since he bought Gameboy back, Tomoshi Takeno has loved this handheld console. Before going out to see his grandfather today, he specially brought a game console to pass the leisure time on the road. As a result, because he was too obsessed with playing games, Ash accidentally made a stop while taking the subway, and had to get off the train to catch up with him, which made him delay a lot of time and almost missed the departure time of the Shinkansen.

Tomoya Takeno finally understood the purpose of the alarm clock on the Gameboy, and he guessed that it was specially prepared by the designer for players to set the game time, right? Sitting on the speeding bullet train, Takeno followed the time when the Shinkansen arrived in Shizuoka, and Tomoya set the alarm time in advance before starting to play the game.

Sure enough, when the train arrives, the alarm clock on Gameboy also rings on time, reminding him that it's time, so Ash feels that he doesn't have to worry about missing the drop-off stop because he is too obsessed with playing games.

Tomoshi Takeno is just one of the countless gamers who bought this handheld console for the first time after Gameboy was released in Japan. Although the Japanese branch of Dongfang Electronics was unable to accurately count the sales volume of the whole of Japan in the first time. However, judging from the feedback calls from several major agents, Gameboy's sales are very gratifying, and there are already some areas where the supply is tight and needs to be replenished urgently.

This is definitely a good phenomenon, and this result also makes people including Suzuki Ichi, Ye Chengkang and others breathe a sigh of relief. But Li Xuan is more concerned about Nintendo's GameWatchball sales and whether they have been impacted.

Before the launch of Dongfang Electronics' Gameboy, Nintendo's GameWatchball sold very well. Under normal circumstances, now should be a critical moment for Nintendo to start expanding its production capacity and quickly seize the market.

If Gameboy can suddenly curb the sales momentum of GameWatch at this time, it will be able to make Nintendo, which has just entered the expansion mode, instantly have a large backlog of products, which is definitely a huge blow to it that is already riddled with debt.

However, Li Xuan couldn't immediately know how much of the impact on GameWatch was, so he could only ask the Japanese branch to work hard to collect the relevant numbers.

At the same time, according to Li Xuan's request, Ye Chengkang personally met with Nakamura Masaya, the president of Namco Co., Ltd., and proposed that Dongfang Electronics buy out the overseas copyright of the pac-man game, but Chairman Nakamura Masaya did not refuse.

"Xuan Shao, Namco Club really has plans to sell the game copyright of "Pac-Man"!" Ye Chengkang reported to Li Xuan the results of today's negotiations at Namco, "I made an offer of 800 million yen for the first time, and Chairman Nakamura seemed noncommittal! Later, I heard the news that in addition to our interest in Pac-Man, an American game manufacturer called Midway also expressed a lot of interest in this game!"

Li Xuan frowned. Midway: This is probably the company that launched the Mortal Kombat arcade in the 90s, but I didn't expect it to start getting involved in the arcade industry so early. Since there is competition, it is impossible to lower the price. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Li Xuan decided to do his best to get this matter done.

"You can continue to negotiate with Chairman Nakamura tomorrow, and the bottom line I will give you is 2 billion yen, but I will ask for all the ancillary rights of "Pac-Man", including arcades, handheld consoles, video games, and computer games, to be bought out in a blanket manner!" Li Xuanyan said solemnly.

2 billion yen is equivalent to about 8 million US dollars, which is almost equivalent to the net profit of 8,000 arcade machines. This is almost the result of a hot-selling arcade machine, a self-proclaimed street game, and being able to recover so much cash at one time with overseas rights is enough for Namco Club to have a celebration party.

Li Xuan was not afraid that he would lose money if he offered this high price, but he was afraid that Dongfang Electronics' one-time bid would be so high, which would make Nakamura Masaya's change his mind. If they decide to go on their own to explore the US market, it will be self-defeating.

Therefore, Li Xuan did not come forward to negotiate in person, and the actor's self-cultivation is far from being in place. If he is allowed to go to the negotiation table, it is easy for the other party to see through his hole cards, and it is more appropriate to leave this kind of professional work to a professional like Ye Chengkang.

2 billion yen, Ye Chengkang also quietly took a breath of cold air, he didn't know why his boss attached so much importance to this "Pac-Man" arcade. But this price is definitely not the value that a street game machine can match. Could it be that this "Pac-Man" is a piece of jade hidden by mud and sand? He suddenly felt a much heavier burden on his shoulders.
