After Takahashi finished speaking, he raised his head and glanced at Kudo Hiroshi, and saw the curious expression on Kudo Hiroshi's face before continuing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"I think that's why this street has a better chance than the United States. Takahashi moved the coins on the table to make it noise.

"I don't know if you have noticed that there seem to be more coins in this book than in other countries. One thing I noticed after such a long time was that everyone seemed to have a large number of coins in their hands.

Compared to banknotes, coins are heavier and less difficult to carry. Often, when people buy goods, they give preference to coins that are not easy to carry.

The increasing number of vending machines on the roadside should also confirm my claim.

I think arcades are actually a better way to spend these coins than vending machines. No one cares about these coins, they fall on the ground, and no one wants to pick them up except for small children.

People have plenty of heavy coins in their pockets, and the arcade games are fun enough. I can't think of a reason why people wouldn't trade coins for happiness. ”

Hiroshi Kudo listened to Takahashi's analysis and nodded from time to time. Don't look at Takahashi who doesn't say much, but the logic is self-consistent. This is very rare, you must know that most people can't do the simple four words "say something".

Hiroshi Kudo, who has a broader vision, is naturally able to connect the theories that Takahashi said with reality. Think about these coins that people are really annoyed by, and it seems that these annoying coins are really one of the reasons why the arcade industry is taking off.

"I'll admit you have a point, but you know what. In 1982, the revenue of the arcade machine industry in the United States was as high as $8.9 billion. You know movies, American movies are good, and the revenue from American movies is only $3 billion. Do you know what this means? Are you sure that the arcade industry will surpass that of the United States?" Kudo Hiroshi used the more information he knew, and used the information asymmetry to mislead Takahashi.

"The American game industry is not ......," Takahashi didn't finish his words, and quickly swallowed back. He realized that Kudo Hiroshi was talking about 1982, and he just wanted to say, "The game industry in the United States hasn't collapsed yet?"

In his impression, the decline of the video game industry in the United States and the rise of the video game industry in Japan have a very critical time node, that is, the Atari impact in 1983, the collapse of Atari.

As the largest arcade home video game manufacturer in the United States and the world, Atari and many other game companies have released too many junk games on the Atari 2600 home game console platform.

Released on Christmas Day in 1983, the low-quality licensed game adaptation of Spielberg's hit movie, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, was the trigger. The vast majority of U.S. consumers and investors have lost confidence in video games.

Consumers voted with their feet, stopped buying video games, and a lot of capital fled. The U.S. video game industry collapsed. Millions of unsalable e.t. Alien cassettes were shipped to the desert of New Mexico for burial and became an urban legend for years.

"What do you want to say?" Kudo Hiroshi doesn't like people who spit out.

"Isn't the U.S. game industry collapsing?" Now that he said it, there was no way to continue to hide it, and Takahashi simply said it.

"How do you know?" Kudo Hiroshi was slightly surprised. Although it is no secret that the American game industry has collapsed, not many people know about it.

Of course, this is not that the people of this country do not pay attention to foreign news, but that the local game manufacturers of this country have deliberately blocked relevant news.

Maybe it's because of the defeat, maybe it's because of the U.S. garrison in the U.S. Army, maybe it's because of American movies and music.

In short, the book of this era admires all aspects of the United States, whether it is production or manufacturing, and consciously imitates it in many aspects.

Although the physical distance between the United States and the United States is far away, I don't know where to go, but if the vast number of consumer groups know about video games, it is not fashionable in the latest United States. There will definitely be an impact on the game industry.

Out of consideration for their own interests, a number of local game manufacturers joined forces to block this news through the media.

Ordinary people don't know about this news, but the game industry has a lot of thoughts about the collapse of the United States.

The most notable point is that Nintendo has established a royalty system and a game review system on its home game console, the red and white console.

No game can be sold on a red and white console without Nintendo's approval and permission.

In this way, it is ensured that there will be no flood of inferior games on the red and white machine.

The ensuing monopoly, but an unexpected add-on, contributed to the formation of the Nintendo empire.

Kudo Hao was a little suspicious in his heart, which game company sent the spy in front of him?

No, no spy will stupidly say that he is Chinese and put a conspicuous mark on himself.

But it's strange to say that he's not an industry insider and is quite familiar with the game industry.

Takahashi opened his eyes and said nonsense, "You also know that I am Chinese, and the places where I live are also Chinese. Quite a few of them have been to the United States, and that's what they told me. ”

"Oh. Kudo Hiroshi nodded, and that made sense.

For nearly 200 years, there have been Chinese workers everywhere in the world.

Although local workers often look down on Chinese workers, entrepreneurs from various countries like Chinese workers very much.

Workers hate Chinese workers because they have low wages and are industrious, robbing them of their jobs, while entrepreneurs like Chinese workers because they are industrious and low-paying, so that they can do more with less money.

"Well, you're right. Hiroshi Kudo handed the strip in his hand to Takahashi. Takahashi took the note and took back the coins on the table.

"You can go to the games department and play Gold Diggers, which is also the latest game to be released in the company, you can play more, maybe it will be useful. ”

"Got it. Takahashi closed the door, took the slip in his hand, and went to the finance department to collect the money.

I thought that the finance department would take out two thick stacks of money and give a black plastic bag, but I didn't expect to get two thin banknotes.

Takahashi looked at the two banknotes and was amused for a while. I actually forgot that there were 10,000 banknotes. It's been a long time since I've touched a large banknote.

As for going to the game department to play "Gold Diggers", Takahashi went to the game department, but the people in the game department didn't let him play. Even if he said who he was, it was President Kudo who asked him to come, but he still didn't let him play.

Where there are really people, there is struggle.

Takahashi shook his head, carrying a huge sum of 20,000 yen, and went downstairs to go home.
