Seeing Tang Huan with an unhappy face, Hiroshi Yamauchi, who had passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven, took the initiative to shush and ask for warmth regardless of the age gap, and at the same time expressed his admiration for the brilliant achievements of the current Xiaobawang game machine.

"Mr. Yamauchi, how did you have time to come to Tokyo from Kyoto?" Tang Huan endured the goosebumps on his body.

"Specially for the sake of the old people, Miyamoto's works "Donkey Kong" and "Mario" are amazing, I didn't expect him to leave Nintendo for only about a year, there will be such progress, as an elder, I am deeply grateful." Hiroshi Yamauchi replied with a sincere face.

"Is it as simple as reminiscing?" Tang Huan looked a little unconvinced,

"Of course." Hiroshi Yamauchi replied without thinking, then turned to Shigeru Miyamoto and said, "Miyamoto, since Mr. Tang has arrived, you must have something to say, so I won't bother anymore and find a time to eat together." ”

Shigeru Miyamoto agreed stupidly, not noticing the subtlety of the atmosphere.

Yamauchi patted Shigeru Miyamoto on the shoulder with satisfaction, got up and said goodbye to Tang Huan, and after he got out of Taidong's office building, he waved to Tang Huan who sent him out, and then got into the car.

"President, Miyamoto is a bit dead-eyed, we have been here several times in a row, but there is no result, if we continue to consume like this, it will make everyone very embarrassed." Yokoi Junhei reminded.

"I naturally know Miyamoto's temperament, but this kind of continuous visit in the open and honest is still essential." Hiroshi Yamauchi had a smug look on his face. "In order to let Tang Huan see it. Miyamoto and I are still in close contact. ”

Gunhei Yokoi, who suddenly came to his senses. His eyes lit up, "The president wants Tang Huan to be suspicious and dissociate their trust." ”

"That's it." Yamauchi laughed, "Since I can't dig up Miyamoto, then let Tang Huan help and drive Miyamoto away." ”

"The president is smart." Yokoi Jun complimented him with peace of mind.

"However, we also need to work the development of home video game consoles." Hiroshi Yamauchi frowned, "Is it like the Little Overlord game machine?" It's really not feasible to roll out a more optimized version. ”

"That's true." Yokoi Junhei nodded vigorously in affirmation, "President, just as far as the product itself is concerned, its current price really does not leave us room for competition, and the high level of circuit design and game programs is even more breathtaking." The 8-bit game console has been made to the extreme by the Xiaobawang game console, and we can't compete head-on with it in this circle. We have to find a way to start with the next generation, which is the 16-bit game console. ”

"I didn't expect the threshold of the Xiaobawang game console to be so high. And our Game & Watch has only been on the market for more than five months, and it has been imitated by a whole bunch of hateful guys. Hiroshi Yamauchi, who was in a sudden mood, waved his hand depressedly, "Go to Mitsubishi Electric and see if we can find a suitable implementation technology, after all, we have worked together fairly well on game consoles before." ”

……

Tang Huan returned to the office with a tense face, took a few sips of tea, and then stared at Shigeru Miyamoto.

"Mr. Tang, I will try my best to persuade Mr. Yamauchi and Mr. Yokoi in the future not to come to me in vain." Shigeru Miyamoto, who seemed to sense that something was wrong, said nervously.

"Don't." Tang Huan grinned, and then couldn't hold back any longer, laughing wildly, leaving Miyamoto Shigeru at a loss.

How could Tang Huan not see through the tricks in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms played by Yamauchi Bo, the reason why he cooperated was naturally to confuse the other party and counteract.

When Tang Huan took away Shigeru Miyamoto from Nintendo, he was just an ordinary young man, and now he has returned to Japan with the titles of producer of the two games "Donkey Kong" and "Mario".

Tang Huan is not like Huang Yulang to engage in the gimmick of "Three Swordsmen" and "Four Great Generals", relying on the master-apprentice system to control professional talents, but Miyamoto Shigeru feels his rapid growth, and has already regarded the relationship between Tang Huan and him as almost as a master and apprentice, which is much more profound than the so-called "Shibo" and "Shifu" who are not expensive in Yamauchi.

In addition, how can Nintendo be compared to the world company EA, "Tetris" can be sold into the Soviet Union across the Cold War camp, and other game companies can? This fact is not generally convincing.

You must know that in the original time and space, the reason why Apple was able to poach Scully from Coca-Cola was not only based on Jobs's unrelenting tongue, but also the personal career growth space brought by high-tech companies with a market value of billions of dollars and ranked among the top 500 Fortune companies was the main determining factor.

In front of EA, Nintendo's strength is not strong enough, and the feelings are not deep enough, why should they poach Shigeru Miyamoto.

And Tang Huan was just tired of Hiroshi Yamauchi, feeling too disappointed, but he didn't worry too much about the other party's tricks.

"You, your mind is too simple, and you don't have the slightest vigilance against people's speculation and business deceit." Tang Huan gestured his head with his finger, "You haven't thought that Mr. Yamauchi came to visit so openly and honestly, just to discord my trust in you, so that he can take the opportunity to poach people?" ”

"No, it won't." Shigeru Miyamoto scratched his head.

"If you have kung fu, you can taste it yourself." Tang Huan shook his head.

Originally, in time and space, in order to prevent being poached by peers, Nintendo only mentioned the pseudonyms of game developers to the outside world, and the social status of game developers during this period was generally not taken seriously.

The talented and loyal Shigeru Miyamoto is only known to the public because Nintendo, out of the need to promote itself, had to launch it from the 1990s and build it into a star.

Looking at the confused Shigeru Miyamoto, Tang Huan carefully pondered Nintendo's way of employing people, and felt that he should learn from this competitor's strategy. Add another insurance policy to Shigeru Miyamoto.

But before that. FIRST, LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE HANDHELD GAME CONSOLE THAT MIMICS GAME & WATCH. What is the end result.

Because of the ready-made MOS6502 electronic module from the U.S. headquarters running "Tetris", the project team led by Matsushita Shiren has greatly shortened the research and development cycle, and Tang Huan can now play with the prototype.

This is the sadness of Nintendo, the product technology threshold is too low, and followers can rush to borrow the idea of handhelds, and there is nothing to say.

"Optimize and test again. Let's start mass production, but not later than the end of October, because we have to catch up with COMDEX in the United States in November. ”

Matsushita Minoru and Nakanishi Akio hurriedly nodded in agreement, Tang Huan suddenly laughed, lowered his voice and said: "Miyamoto is almost 30 years old, he should be married, is there a suitable girl in the company to introduce to him?" If not, then hire. ”

Akio Nakanishi is indeed very good at marketing, and now the scope of business supervisors has expanded from game consoles to Fangyuan computers. Career has taken a big step, even the old club Mikhail? Kogan was running back and forth for Tang Huan. Naturally, he was even more loyal.

Seeing that Tang Huan deliberately talked about this trivial matter, Akio Nakanishi immediately understood the meaning, patted his chest, and promised in a big way, "Don't worry, this matter is left to me." ”

"How's the preparation for the dealer conference?" Tang Huan nodded and turned to get down to business.

In terms of the order of magnitude of area size, Singapore is 100, Xiangjiang is 1,000, Baodao and South Korea are 10,000, and Japan is 100,000.

Therefore, the sales of Fangyuan computer in Japan cannot be as simple as the vertical model of Xiangjiang, and it has to take the road of dealer network, and the personnel transferred from Baodao will provide technical support in an all-round way.

"It's ready." A smile appeared on Akio Nakanishi's face, "They are very much looking forward to the second-generation Fangyuan computer. ”

"I would like these people to understand the relationship between price and performance in addition to expectations." Tang Huan smiled.

At this stage, what can really provide development space for personal computers is business needs.

As a mid-to-high-end microcomputer, the second-generation Fangyuan computer naturally focuses more on this point. This can also be seen in the pricing, the base model starts at $4,000, which is $500 more expensive than the $3,500 price of Apple's failed Apple III, which was released in May.

Every company's products have their own positioning, and IBM, for example, lacks motivation for computer products under $20,000.

Originally, the price of the original IBM-PC ranged from more than $1,600 to more than $6,000, which was still expensive for the home market, but it was unexpectedly favored by enterprise customers.

Obviously, this is determined by objective reality, but IBM was lucky enough to hit this wave of market.

It can be seen that the pricing of the second-generation Fangyuan computer is appropriate, not to mention the three major commercial software it can use, as well as the compatibility with the first-generation Fangyuan computer, which can be described as full of selling points.

In addition, the sales of electronic products, most of them have a characteristic, with the optimization and maturity of the production process, the price will naturally go from high to low, the current pricing of the basic model of the second-generation Fangyuan computer, is not set in stone, Tang Huan will not be as rigid as IBM, hardware and software are their own, it is nothing more than to adjust the way of profit calculation, so that the hardware makes less money, and the software earns more.

……

For Japan, the largest consumer market in Asia, Tang Huanke attaches great importance to it, in order to squeeze the living space of the PC-9800 launched by NEC in the future, he instilled his own views to the audience at the dealer conference, and opened the effect of personal charm halo to the strongest.

Because Tang Huan is proficient in Japanese, this makes him communicate with the Japanese without any obstacles, and he is so agitated that his face is red and his ears are hot, as if the dealers who have drunk alcohol have unlimited confidence in the market prospects of the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and Tang Huan found that at least one person who had not been there for a long time was not fooled by himself.

Tang Huan deliberately paid attention to this guy, in his forties, like everyone else beside him, dressed in formal clothes, except for his extremely serious expression, there was nothing special, but under careful observation, he could still find the pride, confidence and condescension in his eyes.

It seems familiar. After this thought flashed through Tang Huan's mind. And he didn't think about it anymore. Pointing to a huge eye-catching chart, it introduces the powerful 16-bit performance of the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

After Tang Huan completed his task, he returned to the office to rest, preparing to discuss the differences between the Zheru Chinese character coding scheme and the JISX0208 standard with the Japan Industrial Standards Association.

At this time, the subordinate came in to report that someone had visited and handed over a business card.

"Vice President of Samsung C&T Korea, Lee Kun-hee." Tang Huan muttered in his mouth, and at the same time, a spiritual light flashed in his mind. Isn't he the person who wasn't fooled by himself in the audience just now?

Lee Kun-hee is the third son of Lee Byung-cheol, the founder of Samsung Group, who was sent to Tokyo at the age of 13 to receive a Japanese-style education, and has now been a talent for more than ten years.

But this accident seems to have traces to follow, you know, in the original time and space. In a few years, Samsung Electronics will go all out into the semiconductor industry.

And back in 1974. Lee Kun-hee, who was a director of Samsung's TV station Toyo Television at the time, acquired Korean semiconductors invested by KAMCO in the United States and made it the predecessor of Samsung's semiconductor division.

Interesting, could it be that Lee Kun-hee is interested in Fang Yuan Computer? Tang Huan thought as he came out to meet the prince of the Samsung Group.

After a few brief greetings, Li Jianxi said bluntly: "Mr. Tang, I have personally used Fangyuan computer, I am very interested in it, and I want to introduce this product to South Korea, I don't know what you think?" ”

"Mr. Li is so affectionate, won't he have already taken the Fangyuan computer apart and studied it." Li Jianxi has always been so serious, Tang Huan is a little uncomfortable, so he joked about the other party's hobby of dismantling technology products.

Li Kunxi, who had published the "genius theory" in his previous life, his qualifications were of course extraordinary, and he also realized that the atmosphere of the meeting seemed to be a little stiff, so he nodded with a smile, "Mr. Tang guessed correctly, this is also the reason why I am very interested in Fangyuan Computer, I hope to introduce the authorization of Fangyuan Computer and build a factory in South Korea for production." ”

Originally, the reason why Samsung Electronics was able to rise rapidly in the IT industry was closely related to Lee Kun-hee's business strategy.

For the new field that it has just entered, Samsung Electronics does not start from scratch on its own, but buys patents in a large amount regardless of temporary gains and losses, and quickly digests it into its own things, that is, it uses funds to make up for the disadvantages of weak technical foundation and late start.

Moreover, Lee Kun-hee's sense of crisis and sense of change has also benefited the development of Samsung Electronics.

Originally, in time and space, Lee Kun-hee once said a very famous sentence, "Everything must change except for his wife and children", and the enterprising spirit he showed can only be described as tough.

For a powerful person like Lee Kun-hee who took the initiative to seek cooperation, Tang Huan of course welcomed it with both hands, and as for the possible conflict of interest between the two sides, it would not occur at least in the 1980s.

On the contrary, if Fangyuan Computer enters South Korea through Samsung, the result that Tang Huan can think of is that the standard of personal computer hardware and software is the same in the Asian Confucian cultural circle, and the car is the same, and the book is the same, and this goal is not what he wants to see.

"How much does Mr. Li know about the square circle computer and the system on which it is based?" Tang Huan raised his hand and drew a circle in the air.

From Tang Huan's words, Li Jianxi heard that he was looking for the cornerstone of cooperation between the two sides, so he replied openly, "Fangyuan Computer was brought to South Korea by a businessman from Japan, and I only started to contact it recently. ”

Speaking of this, Li Jianxi shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity that Samsung's semiconductor department is not able to participate yet." ”

"The production process of the first-generation Fangyuan computer has matured, so at present, only this series will be open for licensing, and this product still performs well in word processing." Tang Huan truthfully said what his side could provide.

"Yes, I wanted to start simple." Lee Kun-hee nodded in agreement.

"Besides......" Tang Huan pondered, "If Mr. Li is very interested in the computer industry, I would like to ask you to take the time to visit the headquarters in the United States." ”

"It's a deal." Lee Kun-hee readily agreed, a rare natural smile on his face.

With this big framework, the direction of the conversation between the two is much clearer.

After sending Li Kunxi away, Tang Huan shook his head playfully and smiled, he was really sleepy Someone sent a pillow, with the special status of Samsung Group in South Korea, the popularity of Fangyuan computers can be imagined, and he only needs to comfortably rely on the three major business software to make profits.

As for South Korea's KSC5601 coding standard, which is full of errors and omissions, it is estimated that it will soon be de facto replaced by the scheme carried by Fangyuan's computer.

……

Compared with the promotion of standards in other regions, Japan, which is economically developed, has established its own relatively mature character encoding scheme early, and China and South Korea have learned from it in the original time and space, so Tang Huan is really troublesome when dealing with the Japan Industrial Specifications Association.

On the surface, he made it clear that Fangyuan would follow the Japanese JISX0208 standards, but it would take a process, but it could first provide a temporary solution by designing a conversion program, that is, by exchanging codes.

In addition, Tang Huan demanded that the new version of the JISX0208 standard should be revised as soon as possible, after all, the existing errors, the more delayed, the more trouble it will cause.

In short, Tang Huan's attitude to solving the problem is very good, but he just tries his best to delay it.

His idea is very simple, after choosing a generation of Fangyuan computer authorized manufacturers, its market share will definitely be further increased, when the time comes, industry standards and official standards, who is strong and who is weak, self-evident.

And the first unification in the IT field that he created was completely formed.
