Chapter 51: Wonderful Resonance, Unique
Phelan is a workaholic, so when he manages, he often leads by example and drives employees wildly.
The progress of the task is speeding up, of course Lin Yi likes it. But for the working environment, engineer Wang Jie seems to have a lot of complaints: "Atari Games, the atmosphere is very lively. I think that kind of environment is more conducive to inspiration. ”
When Lin Yi heard this, he was naturally unwilling to be left behind. The opponent's strengths must be learned, and there must be no hesitation.
When the development encounters a bottleneck and everyone is calm, Lin Yi will make some small games to enliven the atmosphere and inspire inspiration.
Frisbee, skateboarding, pets, personal hobbies are different, so shifts are recommended. If it really doesn't go well, they will buy balloons and let everyone step on them.
For the common goal, we work together. With such a great atmosphere, it's hard not to be fully engaged. Hong Kong's industry, Lin Yi forgot. The original intention of going to the United States to pick up leaks was also left behind by him! This is his career. The company's pulse and heart beat as if it were in a state of resonance, and it felt amazing!
Time slipped by, and before you knew it, the project was complete. Lin Yi felt that he was shocked and out of his wonderful state. When I opened the calendar, I had a dream for 20 days!
After Wang Jie came, he went directly to work. He didn't know how much strength the company had, so he made a suggestion: "Boss, if you don't have enough money, you can sell the game." Once you have the money, you can develop the next one. However, in my experience, it is a bit of a shame to sell!"
"Little Bee" and "Pac-Man", even if they don't lay golden eggs, they can definitely lay silver eggs. Lin Yi is willing to sell: "You can rest assured, there is no problem with development, production, and sales." ”
Lin Yi said he would do it, acquired a motherboard factory, and obtained a group of skilled workers. Then, let Wang Jie be the technical director. As for accessories, cases, and monitors, you can buy them everywhere, so you don't have to worry about them.
He hugged Sunflower and confided in his heart: "This entrepreneurial project is really the right choice! Low financial pressure, fast shipment speed, and large market capacity are more suitable for us than personal computers!"
The tip of the nose of the two rubbed the tip of the nose, and the girl cooperated affectionately: "Compared with Yalida, our entrepreneurial process is a hundred times easier! The report said that they cheated on loans to build factories and hired hooligans as workers!"
Lin Yi commented: "It is not easy to start a business, capital, technology, and management are really indispensable! Market development is even more difficult, the original video games, accessories can not be bought at all, they have to rely on self-production and self-sale! Nolan created Atari, just like building a base in a wasteland, I really admire him!"
The first prototypes came out, and after careful testing, no loopholes were found. Lin Yi made a decision to expand production immediately!
However, Sunflower persuaded him: "I remember you said that small-scale experiments and large-scale promotion can effectively reduce risks." Before you set up Xiaoxin Food, you also did food experiments. Why don't you come here again for the arcade sales?"
The games that Lin Yi can remember are, of course, all of them big hits, and there is no need for experiments. But what he said was taken as a motto by his girlfriend, and his heart was really upside down! Anyway, it wasn't bad for a few days, he immediately nodded in agreement.
Seeing her boyfriend's approval, the girl was enthusiastic: "Atari's "Ping Pong Pong", which was put in a bar for experimentation, was a huge success. Since this path is feasible, shall we give it a try?"
Negotiate with the boss, try the goods first and pay later, "Little Bee" and "Pac-Man", two games into the bar.
The next day, Lin Yi formed a group of three and went over to step on the spot together. The reaction was expected, and the two games were around, three circles inside and three circles outside. The bars are full of adults, and even if they are taller, they can't squeeze into them at all! The people standing in the outer circle still don't want to disperse even if they don't have their turn for half a day.
As they watched, they had a heated discussion: "This game is really cool, it's a new Atari game, right?"
"I don't know, there are too many people to see clearly. ”
The work was misidentified, but Lin Yi didn't mind. Good sales are really good!
Sunflower poked her boyfriend: "Look, I guessed right! Around the shooting game, there are almost no girls." But in "Pac-Man", no matter how strong a man is, he can't squeeze in!"
"I just heard people complain that with "Pac-Man", the difficulty of picking up girls has more than doubled! If anyone knew that you were the author of the game, would you come over to duel?"
The laughter of my girlfriend is not very clear in a noisy bar. But the Yingying eye wave couldn't help but attract Lin Yi and hugged the person into his arms: "If someone complains like this, I will gladly accept it!"
Bang, bang, bang, the sound of slapping the game console is accompanied by a loud roar: "What a shit machine? It's my turn to break!"
Lin Yi couldn't squeeze in, and he couldn't check what the situation was.
At this moment, there were a lot of boos around: "You must have just come of age! Just a few years ago, the game "Table Tennis" also happened when I first entered the bar!"
"Shit, hurry up, I'm in a hurry!"
"Idiot, there are too many people playing, and the coin box is already full!"
"Boss, hurry up and get here!"
Although he was scolded, the bar owner had a masochistic expression on his face. He also chattered: "It's been a few years, this kind of hot scene, I didn't expect to see you again?"
Phelan pointed to the boss, Nunu said: "Customers have interests, and games have money!"
Lin Yi gave a thumbs up: "The retail price of $2,988 is really no problem, Fei Lan, you are really accurate!"
Sunflower had a question: "The information says that other arcade machines on the market are about $2,000. Even with color displays, there are rarely more than 2,500 displays. Our machines are expensive, why don't the bar owners frown?"
Phelan had a point: "I've inquired about it, and each machine can bring in $30 a day. After about three months, they will be able to recoup their costs. Whether the price is expensive or not, it is not the key!"
"However, if it weren't for the game, I wouldn't dare to price it that way. Racing, table tennis, golf, in such a market, the creativity of the boss, that is really unique!"
Xiang Yanghua immediately agreed: "The game of "Table Tennis", I also played it just now, it is a ball of light and two light bars. Others say it's a classic, but compared to Brother Yi's game, it's too simple!"
Lin Yi smiled, and at the same time said confidently: "No matter how classic "Table Tennis" is, it is also a four-year-old game. Now, it's up to us to renovate!"
After returning to the company, other delegations have also completed their missions. Everyone sat down and started discussing the next step.
Wang Jie spoke first: "Wait a minute, I still have a question." I just heard that "Little Bee" is fun, but the name is weak!"
Lin Yi's heart moved. When the customer is calling, the manufacturer should act.
Tom rolled his eyes and immediately came up with an idea: "Actually, those monsters are a bit of an alien visitor." Sci-fi films are now very popular, and I can take advantage of the popularity when I watch it. ”
Without Lin Yi to preside, a brainstorming will be automatically formed. Cosmic monsters, starry sky invaders...... , the list of candidates is constantly being extended. In the end, everyone voted and decided on "Little Bee" and renamed it "Space Invaders".
