When I returned home in the evening and listened to the game, Sunflower comforted her husband: "You can't blame Tom for this, your appetite is too good, and you can't watch the game in general." For example, even if I have heard of your fancies, the current rudimentary games are still played with relish. ”

Lin Yi feels that his wife's opinion makes sense: "The baptism of the game wave has not yet been experienced by Americans. The current level of appreciation, just like Chinese food, just scrambled eggs with persimmons, you don't need a full banquet. ”

Sunflower remembered something: "By the way, Hasbro's Monopoly, didn't you buy the copyright, how is the development?"

Lin Yi hugged his wife, kissed first and said: "Because the picture is not good enough, I made character stickers and glued them to the TV screen." I was a little worried, but what you said just now dispelled my worries. ”

Sunflower kissed back: "I heard that the game cartridge, Heaven sells quite well?"

Lin Yi didn't care about intimacy, and his eyes narrowed with a smile: "It's not just good!Buy a host and get a cassette, after the preferential activities are stopped, the income of the game card alone has exceeded 30 million!"

When the girl was surprised, her eyes widened and she looked very cute: "The big plastic shell, the small core, is so profitable?"

Lin Yi was smug: "The cost is $2, and the price is $10." In a family, the host is also bought one. However, the game card must be updated frequently, and the profit will definitely catch up!"

"With such a lucrative business, others don't flock to it?"

"Third-party developers will definitely rise in the future. However, with the console platform in hand, whoever can come in to make money, who can only watch and drool, it's all up to me!"

The girl giggled: "If it's in the game, my husband is the boss of the level!"

"It's been a quarter since the console was released, and it's time to launch the second wave!"

Lin Yi said that he was full of confidence, and after the new game was launched, the reaction was unexpectedly hot. "Monopoly" and "Star Wars", two adapted games, are of course blockbuster titles. And Heaven itself, in addition to "Lianliankan", has released several racing cars and ball games.

The good news came: "In just one week, the game was adapted, and the sales exceeded a million." ”

Phelan, who has always been cool, held his head high at this time: "Twenty games, more than twice the number of Atari, directly detonated the enthusiasm for buying." Game cards are selling well, which in turn drives console sales. Rival blockade, we broke through perfectly!"

Lin Yi is still a little regretful: "The sales of the Atari 2600 have also exceeded 300,000 units. The two sides flew together, and it was a draw. ”

Phelan comforted the boss: "Don't care, buy a host and send a cassette activity, Atari hasn't ended yet, so it's driving sales." The main profit in the future will definitely become a game card, and it is impossible for the other party to send it all the time. ”

The two were chatting when Vice President Johnny barged in: "Boss, there's a great deal to be told! There's an urgent matter that needs to be notified to you two." ”

"You say. ”

"There was a report from the staff just now that the Parent-Teacher Association was going to hold a mass protest. Not only to our company, but also to the state government to petition. ”

"What's the content of the leave?"

"Ask the government to enact a bill to deny access to arcades for youth entertainment venues. Not only that, but they also demanded that chain stores and supermarkets are not allowed to place video game consoles, so as to prevent children from wanting it when they see it!"

Lin Yi and the CEO glanced at each other, and at the same time gasped: "This is really ruthless, it's going to cut off our roots!"

Johnny shook his head and said, "It's not for us, it's for all game manufacturers." Fairchild, RCA, Atari, they're all going to protest. ”

Lin Yi wondered in his heart: "It's not that I haven't protested before, why is the scale so big this time?

The vice president let go of the report and read out a series of numbers: "The sales volume of video game consoles, 600,000 units in Heaven, 300,000 units in Atari, 100,000 in Fairchild, and 50,000 in RCA." This year's explosive growth has totaled more than one million units. At the same time, the number of arcade shipments has also doubled compared to last year!"

Phelan immediately nodded: "It seems that this is the reason." The influence of game consoles, which last year was only a few hundred thousand households, this year exceeds millions of households. Depending on the degree of stimulation, the response of the parent-teacher association will naturally increase greatly. ”

said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, but the time to get off work had not yet arrived, and there was already a circle of people outside the Paradise Game Company. Many people held signs and walked around the outside of the gate.

Reading the words on the sign, Lin Yi felt inexplicable: "The playground is full of smoke, which damages the health of the children - this has nothing to do with us, right? Smoking has just been banned on the plane, and other public places, heaven doesn't count!"

"Electric toys = the abyss of sin! This is too exaggerated, isn't it?" he touched his forehead, wiping away the cold sweat from it.

After observing for a while, Lin Yi couldn't help but praise: "Their queue is just right." The distance between the two protesters is just enough to give way to one person, and it won't block our door!"

However, Fei Lan's face sank at this time: "Orderliness and non-violence are not good for us!"

Lin Yi showed embarrassment: "Could it be that breaking into the company is beneficial to us?"

"Yes, trespassing on private property, public opinion will not support them. The better the organization, the more orderly the performance, and the easier it is to win social sympathy. ”

At this moment, Juliana, the president's secretary, knocked on the door and walked in to report: "News came from the public relations department that the organizer of this protest is Senator McCain. He did not come himself, but went to the state legislature, where he made his case and proposed. ”

Lin Yi was a little dizzy: "No wonder they organized this event so well! By the way, Ferran, Atari side, do you want to breathe? At this sensitive time, we should stop smearing each other." ”

Ferran immediately made a decision and immediately grabbed the phone: "Hello, I'm Paradise President Ferran, help me pick up Mr. Cantona." ”

After putting down the phone, the CEO breathed a sigh of relief: "The other party agreed to the proposal of a truce." Not only that, the game infringement lawsuit, everyone applied for an adjournment together. ”

Lin Yi sighed: "In order to resist foreign aggression, even if it is the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, they must make a truce and work together to resist Japan." ”

Phelan comforted the boss: "With our strength, we can defeat the opponent sooner or later." You, the first person in the game, will never lose your crown. ”

Lin Yi is not worried about these things. The crisis has not yet been resolved, and he is searching his stomach to find a solution.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, grabbed the phone and called: "Is it a hardware experiment? Yes, I'm Lin Yi." Wang Jie, come to heaven, there is a new product, we must study it immediately!"
