Chapter 0098 Thrown Meat and Bones
Sunlight crept into the bedroom through the gaps in the curtains and shone on the floor in front of the bed, adding a bit of color to the room.
Lin Fengjiao grabbed the sheets in her hands, panting and whispering to meet Tang Huan's wave after wave of impacts, until the man finally stopped with satisfaction and fell on top of her and panted heavily.
"If you don't go down yet, everyone will be crushed by you." Lin Fengjiao glanced at Tang Huan.
"I know how well you can withstand pressure." Tang Huan smiled and turned over and lay on the bed, "How was the filming?" ”
"You just remembered to ask." Lin Fengjiao punched Tang Huan twice dissatisfied, "My scene is almost halfway filmed, this time I specially asked for leave to come back to see you, but as soon as we met, I yelled and pulled people to do such a shameful thing in broad daylight, can't you wait until night." ”
"There is night fun at night and day fun during the day." Tang Huan smiled disappreciatively.
"There's really no way to take you scoundrel." Lin Feng Jiaojiao finished her anger and began to clean up the battlefield.
Tang Huan got up and came to the window, opened the curtains, greeted the sun, took a few deep breaths, and felt refreshed, and the boredom caused by the intense work these days was swept away.
The time spent inspecting the factory on Baodao far exceeded Tang Huan's expectations, and he personally experienced the heavy production pressure caused by a large number of orders, and in order to avoid mistakes at the end of the year, the big boss had to step in.
In addition to the powerhouse Atari and the cutting-edge Xiaobawang, the participants in the game console sales war during the Christmas period in the United States are also the inventors of commercial home video game consoles, the veteran manufacturer Magnavox or Mirova invested by Philips, which successfully developed the second-generation game console Odyssey in 1978, that is, Odyssey 2.
The console is powered by Intel's 1976 Intel 8048 8-bit microcontroller, and there is nothing new in terms of hardware specifications, but like Atari, it entered the industry early, has a deep heritage, and has a wide variety of games on the platform.
In this regard, although the latecomer Xiaobawang is a little inferior, the game group led by "Tetris" has also reached more than a dozen, and it is more novel and playable, so it may not fall behind.
Xiaobawang's real shortcoming lies in the channel, after all, its construction requires a process, and Apple's direct sales stores are unwilling to lend a hand, and Zheru's marketing department has to try all kinds of ways to make up for it.
In addition, a new face has emerged among the contenders, and Mattel, the owner of Barbie, has also come to grab the food and launched the Intellivision console with a 16-bit CPUCP1600, although it is only a soft sale and the price is slightly higher at $299, but it is menacing and fearful.
In order to cope with this battle, all the game consoles that came off the production line of the Treasure Island factory were shipped to the United States by plane, which would affect profits, but after expanding the market share, it could be compensated for by the consequent increase in the number of game cartridges.
In the 1979 American Christmas feast, the major game console manufacturers finally pulled how many dishes they put on their plates, and the media was hilarious, but all parties involved did not respond positively, for fear of attracting more pretenders. This kind of concealment has aroused greater interest from investors.
Of course, Tang Huan knows his own achievements, and the statistics he got are that in the nearly two months from the launch of the Xiaobawang game console to the post-Christmas period, the shipment exceeded 500,000 units and the sales exceeded 100 million US dollars.
This figure is slightly higher than the level of the first two months of Nintendo FC in the previous life.
It is foreseeable that as the market heats up, there will be more fierce competition next year, not counting those personal computers that focus on game cards, there are four specialized game consoles alone: EA's Xiaobawang, Warner's Atari 2600, Philips' Mirohua Odyssey 2, and Mattel's Intellivision.
And the honest businessman and the profiteer who are established today and run away tomorrow will eat at the same table, and the game industry is destined to usher in the first throes of growth.
Tang Huan secretly rejoiced that thanks to the establishment of EA, Tripp Hawkins was in the front, otherwise he would have been annoyed to death by these trivial matters.
"Whatever meal you want, I'll make it for you." Lin Fengjiao, who had finished cleaning up, asked.
"As long as you do it, I like it." Tang Huan, who was in a happy mood, threw a flying kiss lightly.
"If your craft has regressed, don't complain." Lin Fengjiao laughed and went out to prepare with brisk steps.
Looking at the woman who was nourished by himself and was more delicate than a flower, Tang Huan smiled heartily. This relaxed atmosphere of home life can only be created by Lin Fengjiao, who is empathetic and proficient in housework.
Tang Huan came to the living room, picked up the newspaper and flipped through it.
The impact of the Formosa incident is still fermenting, but the people of Treasure Island still have to eat and dress to develop the economy, and the overall situation is still like that, and the signs of black gold can also be seen looming.
Regardless of the situation, Zheru's factory in Baodao will never be affected, and the second phase of the project is already in full swing.
It can be said that Zheru is the most successful investment attraction in Hsinchu Science and Technology Park at present, and it is estimated that even after the announcement of its official establishment, it will be difficult for others to surpass it in a short period of time.
And the method of transporting the Xiaobawang game console to the United States by plane for half a month has attracted the attention of people in the industry.
Recently, Tang Huan has been asked the most in private about the topic, "How much does Mr. Tang earn?" ”
But in fact, Tang Huan did not take this interest in his eyes, he had already focused on the procurement process.
Up to now, the total sales of Fangyuan computers in Asia have exceeded 10,000 units, and according to this trend, in the upcoming 1980, it is conservatively estimated that the annual sales will reach 50,000 units, and the total sales of Xiaobawang game consoles are also very likely to exceed 5 million units.
With such a scale of production, the number of CPUs and memories, the main semiconductor components required for such production, will naturally increase, and if favorable negotiation conditions can be obtained at the time of procurement, the control of production costs will certainly be very considerable.
To this end, Tang Huan carefully designed a large order of 60 million US dollars and threw it in front of Japanese semiconductor companies, believing that these guys who are eager to expand will definitely pounce on each other like hungry dogs grabbing meat and bones, and even bite each other a few times.
For the weak, these Japanese companies will form a monopoly, but in the field of semiconductors, they are still only catching up with American competitors, and Tang Huan believes that he can definitely get the maximum benefits.
Sure enough, as he expected, Toshiba Semiconductor and Hitachi Semiconductor were the first to come over, and Tang Huan asked Jian Mingren and Shi Chongtang to deal with it first to see if they could attract more participants.
Tang Huan finished reading the newspaper, leaned on the sofa, listened to Lin Fengjiao's busy movements in the kitchen, said a few words from time to time, and fell asleep unconsciously.
After Lin Fengjiao found out, she brought a towel and gently covered it for Tang Huan, looking at the man's handsome and handsome face, she couldn't help but kiss the other party's forehead lightly.
Tang Huan opened his eyes and smiled, then went back to sleep until Lin Fengjiao prepared dinner and woke him up.
"How many days can you stay here on Treasure Island?" Tang Huan drank the bowl of soup served by Lin Fengjiao and asked casually.
"I'll leave tomorrow, the visa for Baodao is very troublesome, if it weren't for your relationship, I wouldn't dare to risk delaying more than ten days and come back in the middle of filming."
Seeing the disappointment on Tang Huan's face, Lin Fengjiao smiled and changed the topic, "When I saw Hu Yinmeng this time, I found that she had changed a lot, and I didn't dare to admit the strong woman's capable energy." ”
Tang Huan cut off, "What kind of strong woman is she?" ”
"Of course. You don't know how troublesome the various relationships in the crew are, how difficult it is to manage, she is such a delicate young girl, as long as she stops there, she is full of aura, and her eyes are like knives, which shocks those disobedient guys and immediately becomes honest, which is incredible. ”
"Whoever dares to be disobedient will be opened, this may be the feeling of being in power." Tang Huan smiled slightly, "If you are envious, you can also enter the workplace to try it out, and I can arrange it for you." ”
"I can't do it, people read a lot of Hu Yinmeng's books, how can I compare." Lin Fengjiao hurriedly shook his head and refused.
"What is timid, aren't you doing a good job of investing in those properties, sometimes, emotional intelligence plays a greater role than IQ." Tang Huan continued to encourage.
"Don't try to see me make a fool of myself, I still have that bit of self-knowledge." Lin Fengjiao glanced at Tang Huan, picked up a piece of braised pork and fed it to him.
Tang Huan nodded again and again and praised, "It's still Jiaojiao, the food is so fragrant, it's much more intimate than any strong woman." ”
Lin Fengjiao's eyes flowed, and he smiled, "It seems that you have a deep understanding, so hurry up and eat more." ”
"Eat more, of course." Tang Huan squeezed his eyes, "Otherwise, I won't have the strength to work at night." ”
"Stinky scoundrel, look how I gag you." Lin Fengjiao, who was flushed, picked up another piece of braised pork.
As soon as Tang Huan poked his head into his mouth to eat, the phone in the living room rang.
"I'm going to pick it up, it's supposed to be looking for me." Tang Huan said vaguely as he got up and walked over.
Sure enough, it was Shi Chongtang who called, and it turned out that NEC Semiconductor, Fujitsu Semiconductor, Mitsubishi Semiconductor, and Panasonic Semiconductor also sent representatives to Baodao to express their willingness to participate in the bidding.
It seems that the meat and bone that I threw out is very charming, and the six major semiconductors of Japan, which will soon become famous, have even been attracted to them after the Gregorian New Year.
With the participation of these six companies, it doesn't matter if other small companies are there.
"Okay, I'll meet them one by one tomorrow, and you've arranged the reception." After Tang Huan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
"What kind of happy event makes you smile?" Lin Fengjiao asked curiously.
"Yes?" Tang Huan touched his face, and then replied, "I have the opportunity to extend my tentacles into the Japanese semiconductor industry, so I am naturally a little excited." ”
"I don't understand what semiconductors attract you so much." Lin Fengjiao pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile.
"That's okay, as long as you know how to cooperate when you work at night." Tang Huan laughed happily.
