Lin Yi finished giving instructions, picked up the investigation materials, and went to the game development department: "Arkanoid is the work of Jobs, and I already know this. This "Tank" game, their developer, Wang Jie, do you recognize it?"

"Of course there was an exchange, did I design the motherboard?"

"It's a good idea, can you poach people?"

"Unlikely, Tank is the core team, all of Nolan's old subordinates. and Atari Company, the entanglement of interests is too deep. ”

These two games, which are equally famous, are unfortunately someone else's. Atari Games, creativity is really strong, classic games two at a time!

If the team can't dig it, the game will be even more impossible. All kinds of suggestions for improvement, Lin Yi's heart kept flashing! But it's a pity that these precious inspirations are coming. For the time being, it can only be mothballed. Atari is a strong opponent, so Lin Yi will not 'send warmth'!

Industrial manufacturing, the situation of short supply and demand, can only exist for a short time. Unless there is a monopoly, the spring of producers is too short!

The continuous emergence of cottages has made it impossible for the paradise game to eat alone. Not only that, once the supply is oversupplied, dealers will inevitably become stronger.

Lin Yi couldn't wait stupidly, so he simply went to consult an expert: "Professor White, can you teach me two tricks for this situation?"

The economics professor muttered: "Microeconomics, I won't talk about it until the next semester." It's okay to tell you in advance, but this time I'll have to charge a consultation fee. ”

"No problem, the quality of the charge is good!"

"In the early stage of the company's business, if it is a new product, it should occupy the market as soon as possible. Whether it's quality or service, it's okay to be a little worse. After competitors follow suit, market share needs to be competed for, and quality and service become the focus. ”

"I've learned that when there is no rival, the 'yes and no' are the first priority, and when the competition is fierce, the 'good and the bad' are carefully pondered. In other words, from now on, I will have to practice both external and internal skills. ”

After discussing with experts, Lin Yi learned a lot. After returning to the company, the first thing he corrected was the customer's payment method. At the order meeting a few months ago, he attacked strongly and demanded that 'pay before shipment'.

After surviving the first month, Paradise's cash flow has already improved dramatically. And not being able to defer payment is the biggest grievance of dealers. Lin Yi immediately instructed: "As long as the customer has good credit, he can freely choose the payment method. ”

After the news spread, there was a lot of applause. The orders that are being scattered are gathering again to the Paradise Game.

Professor White had anticipated this phenomenon: "The economic crisis is not over, and loan interest rates are still high. Allowing deferred payments can be a major plus for customers who are strapped for cash. ”

Just this trick and that consulting fee, Lin Yi felt that it was worth it: "No matter how much cash the company has, it is just a good number." It's a good deal to exchange resources that you can't use for the time being in exchange for customer loyalty, and you can also earn interest!"

Atari, for their part, did not react to the matter. With a strong position, we have always insisted on cash on delivery. Other opponents are not large in scale and their own cash flow is still insufficient, so how can they 'lend' to dealers.

Therefore, Lin Yi did not make profits, but reconfigured idle resources, and dealers had to accept his affection. If the customer relationship is well maintained, it will definitely not turn around and leave, and go directly to the arms of the other party.

Seeing that the effect is so good, the bargaining power of large customers, various preferential discounts, these real concessions, have been temporarily put away, and they will not be used until they are needed in the future.

'Hard concessions' are not done, but 'soft concessions' must be made. The video game industry is still in the stage of savage growth. After-sales service problems, everyone is not doing well.

However, Lin Yi plans to make up for this shortcoming immediately. The principle of the barrel is not to say: how much water can be filled in the barrel, the shortest plank has the final say!

On the road of competition, Lin Yi doesn't want to tail and don't want to be a follower. Plant a seed of trust in the hearts of customers. After the service system is perfected, there will be one more obstacle in front of competitors! Customers change their ways, and they must also weigh and weigh.

The company's affairs must be put aside for the time being. Because of the surrounding environment, something terrible happened. In mid-July, a campus shooting occurred at the nearby University of California. Eight people, including the killer, died.

Thankfully, the shooting took place at a community college or Stanford University. So Lin Yi and Sunflower were not physically injured. Psychologically, though, it does create a shadow.

If it was in his previous life, Lin Yi would have sarcastically said two sentences: Who told you not to ban guns in the United States! However, when things happened around him, he had only one thought: "Hurry up and buy a gun and bring it with you at any time." ”

But when he walked into the gun shop, Lin Yi immediately hesitated. If he brought a gun into the campus while auditing a college class, he might be considered a terrorist! So he simply turned around and found a security company, intending to hire a bodyguard.

Not long after the end of the Vietnam War, there were many retired veterans. The broker's file book is as thick as a brick!

Lin Yi directly requested: "The bodyguard I want must be married, have children, and have a happy family life." ”

"Rest assured, our employees have undergone a career assessment to ensure that they are physically and mentally sound. Oh, there is a Mr. Fan here, which fits your requirements perfectly. ”

Lin Yi was stunned when he heard this: Could it be that he is Chinese, and the other party recommended a Chinese bodyguard?

The person in the photograph looks very resolute, but it is clearly a Western face: "Van Kluivert." Von, von, German-American?"

The agent corrected: "No, it's Van, Fan, Dutch-American." ”

Lin Yi remembered - Van Basten, Van Persie, the Dutch national football team, it seems that they all have the surname Fan!

This Mr. Bodyguard is not currently in California. So, even if you pay the deposit, you can only be patient.

While waiting, the Republican Army of Northern Ireland created another terrorist attack! Lin Yi picked up and dropped off his girlfriend every day, trying not to go to public places, and at the same time secretly prayed: "Go and bomb others, don't come here!"

When you're physically and mentally exhausted, it feels good if someone speaks. It's a pity that these days, Sunflower is either busy with term papers or running a toy company.

His girlfriend hit the back of her head with her foot, and Lin Yi didn't want to add pressure to her. Fortunately, a wonderful basketball game helped him soothe his emotions. After the merger of the NBA and ABA, the first Finals, Boston Celtics vs Phoenix Suns.

The score alternated and soon surpassed a hundred. After fierce competition, the final frame was 128:126. As a goal scorer, Lin Yi is of course physically and mentally happy.

The emotions were aroused, and he also went to play the ball. Being able to reach the basket is a clear hint. He hurried home to measure, and another surprise suddenly came, his height was more than 1.8 meters!

Lin Yi hugged his girlfriend tightly and shared his joy: "I really didn't expect that I was 21 years old, and I could still grow tall!"

He suddenly asked in surprise, "Oh, no! Your height used to reach my chin, why hasn't it changed now?"

Xiang Yanghua sneered: "Silly, I've also grown taller! Lan Lan's height, I was very envious." Unexpectedly, in just half a year, we are already almost there. ”

Lin Yi turned his head, looked at the beautiful girl, shook his head and said, "Stunted!"

Lin Zhilan's muscles jumped, waved her small fist, and pounced viciously: "Dog men and women, flirt if you flirt, why do you want me?"

The three of them got into a fight.
