"What, read-write memory?"

Mr. Chen's face flushed, looking at the old Jiang who was trembling with excitement in front of him, he couldn't help but tremble.

He didn't really understand what a read-write memory was, it was too high-tech, and he was more familiar with traditional resistors, capacitors, diodes, and the like. But that didn't stop him from grasping the intentions.

Memory, which is a clear indication of what it is for!

"As long as you have a reader programmer, you can read the game program from it, and then you don't even need to find European and American manufacturers to open films. As long as you buy the read/write memory, you can immediately make game data chips in batches and copy the arcade machine "Space Invaders"! Is this, is this true? Mr. Chen grinned happily, he couldn't imagine that he was so lucky, and a gold mine could be easily obtained.

"Yes, yes, that's it! If all goes well, we can launch our arcade machine within a week! Lao Jiang was so happy that he almost lost his temper, grabbed Mr. Chen's arm, and screamed.

"Good, good!" Mr. Chen was so excited that he shouted a few times, "Is there a reader in the company?" If not, we'll buy it right away, and no matter how expensive it is, we'll buy it back! ”

"Yes! There is more than one, and we often have to read the data of other companies' chips, so we have to be prepared. ”

"Then read it right away, and write a film right away when you read it!"

"No problem, we'll do it!" Lao Jiang couldn't close his mouth with a smile, "I really don't have to say anything about the program development in the mainland, how well this game is done, and the product structure design is quite reasonable." But their technical strength is so bad!

On the whole board, you can't see a single component made in China, all of which are general-purpose components that can be bought in Hong Kong, and even processors and integrated circuits are all used abroad. Even this most important data memory, although it is the latest, is still foreign!

You use your own, even if the performance is poor, I have to work hard, first understand the circuit principle before copying. With generic components, isn't this putting the drawings directly in front of us and letting us pirate?

Hahahaha, I can't imagine that the mainland's copyright awareness is so poor! Now it's developed, it's developed! ”

For such an important work, Lao Jiang couldn't give it to others, so he sat down in front of the workbench himself, debugged the reading and writing programmer, spent a long time calming down to adjust his mood, and then solemnly inserted the integrated circuit pins into the jack.

Load the current and start reading the chip data!

Well?

What's going on? Burned, the chip actually burned!

Buzzing, the old ginger smelled a burnt smell of electric current, wafted out, and spread to the end of his nose, and in an instant, his brain buzzed, and he was directly stunned.

……

While the technicians of the Kiyotsu Entertainment Equipment Manufacturing Company were arguing about why the data chip suddenly burned out, a new commodity import and export company and an arcade store were established in Tokyo, Japan.

The two companies were registered on the same day, and the funder of the company is a Hong Kong national named Guan Fei.

According to the Foreign Investment Law, both companies are foreign-owned, and the investor can only own half of the shares, and the other half must be a national or a domestic company.

The Japanese partners of these two companies are Isamu Yamada and Koji Kondo.

Isamu Yamada used to be a gangster, with two or three thugs under him, and he was engaged in nothing more than extortion, abduction and other businesses. Due to their weak strength and small income, they are roughly barely able to make ends meet, and occasionally have a little money to drink a little wine and eat takoyaki at a cheap tavern.

Running the arcade with him were three guards under Guan Fei, and the number of both sides was about the same. Speaking of daring to see red, one more subordinate Yamada Yong is not as good as these three fighters.

Koji Kondo is a legitimate businessman, engaged in import and export business, but his own capital is small, he can't find good agent products, his business is tepid, and there is no problem in maintaining his family's income, but he can't make a fortune.

He talked about it personally by Guan Fei.

Guan Fei asked him to try out "Space Invaders" and showed him the sales reports for mid and late March, and the two immediately hit it off.

Under the notarization of lawyers, the two parties signed a cooperation agreement to jointly invest in the establishment of Tokyo Metropolitan Commerce and Export Co., Ltd., with 50% of the shares each. The agreement stipulates that within three years, the company will not increase its capital, and the equity in their hands shall not be transferred.

The general manager of the company is Koji Kondo, and Bao Yaning is the deputy general manager.

Three years later, Kondo transferred 30 percent of its shares to Taiyu Technology, retaining 20 percent of the shares, becoming the company's second largest shareholder.

To be honest, Koji Kondo did not want to transfer his shares, but Guan Fei stressed that Taiyu Technology must become the absolute controlling party of Tokyo Commerce. If Kondo doesn't do it, he will find someone else to work with. After painful thinking, in the face of the two-way choice of getting rich and out, Kondo finally chose to give in.

The company's financial director was the financial director of Taiwoo Company, and the sales director was handed over to Kondo, and Bao Yaning was also allowed to have his own sales team.

In the process of Tokyo Commerce and Trade was still in the process of being established, Taiyu Amusement Center took the lead in opening for business.

After all, the amusement arcade personnel are simple, and Yamada and his men, as well as three guard fighters, are enough to ensure that the field is not harassed by hooligans. The decoration of the amusement center is also relatively simple, according to the drawings provided by Guan Fei, paint the walls with exquisite patterns such as space fighters, monsters, cartoon characters, etc., make a few game boards, and then use neon lights to make store logos and light boxes, which is extremely fast.

The Taiyu Amusement Center is not located in the crowded and prosperous areas of Ginza, Shibuya, and Shinjuku, but in Akihabara.

Speaking of which, Akihabara is just as crowded, but it is mainly sold for electronics and belongs to the outer areas of Tokyo. I was taken care of by an old friend of Yamada, and the rent was relatively cheap.

Guan Fei did not open this arcade hall to make money, the main purpose was to drive more people to buy arcade machines through the demonstration effect. Places like Ginza and Shibuya that are really spending money do not meet his requirements, and these popular areas have long been monopolized by major associations, and his small body can only be gnawed by others.

Akihabara is one of the largest electronics distribution centers in Tokyo, with electronics dealers from all over the country. The amusement center is open right under their noses, and as long as there are many players, these profit-chasing bosses will naturally see that they can achieve good results without him having to work hard to sell.

In order to maximize the demonstration effect, he deliberately pressed the output for a week and shipped 100 game consoles from Hong Kong. This special arcade machine, all on the upper panel, is added with the eye-catching logo and contact number of Taiyu Technology, and the second line is the name, location and telephone number of the Japanese agent Tokyo Commerce.

The amusement center opened on April 6.

There weren't many people who came at first, and everyone was still very new to the newly opened shop, except that some pachinko people came in to take a look, found that there was no pachinko machine and left. Only a few people stayed, and they gave it a try and immediately fell in love with the fast-paced, thrilling way of playing, throwing coins in it.

The game center does not sell coins, and you need to invest 100 yen coins for one play.

At the current exchange rate, one dollar is worth 240 yen, and 100 yen is equivalent to 41 cents.

After 20 years of development, Japan is now in a stage of rapid development, with an annual per capita income of more than $10,000! As the center of Japan's economic development, Tokyo's per capita income is much higher than that of other places, with a per capita monthly income of between 15,000 and several thousand dollars, and it is not uncommon for people to earn tens of thousands of dollars a month.

Forty-one cents for a game is not too cheap for ordinary citizens, but it is not expensive, and it can be said that everyone can afford to play.

That's when the addictive nature of video games comes into play.

Many people who came in to hang out were just ready to play a little bit to see if it was fun, but in the face of the breakthrough innovative entertainment method of "Space Invaders", everyone quickly became addicted to it, unable to extricate themselves, and invested one coin at a time, until the game was cleared or the last coin in their pockets was removed, and they woke up like a dream.

For them, Space Invaders is just too much fun and exciting.

There are also so-called arcade halls in Japan, but they are all filled with pachinko machines, point of light shooters, and mechanical claw grabs ragdolls, which are relatively simple game machines. Also a shooting game, the rules of the game are how many points to reach within the specified time, so as to determine how many rewards to give.

However, Space Invaders pioneered a game mode in which enemies can move and attack the player, turning a simple leisure activity into a confrontation game.

Like pachinko, it's full of suspense, stimulating the player's nerves all the time, racking their brains to keep the fighter, judging the direction of the enemy's movement, and finally how to hit as many enemies as possible, from the beginning to the end, the whole game must be engrossed, and the eyes, hands, and brain work together to make it extremely challenging and entertaining.

And at the end of the game, seeing the enemy's spaceship explode, the joy in the player's heart is incomparable.

The game center is full of people, but less in and less out, and the vast majority of people are immediately attracted by its charm after trying the game. Even if many people don't have a coin on their body, they will run out to buy a pack of cigarettes as soon as possible, exchange them for coins and come back to continue playing.

When it was later discovered that the counter also provided coin exchange business, the players were even more ecstatic, and they took out the thousand-yuan, five-thousand, or even 10,000-yuan bills on their bodies and exchanged them for 100 yuan coins.

As more and more people came in, there were fewer and fewer free game consoles in the arcade. By the afternoon, the game hall of several hundred square meters was already crowded with black heads, rubbing shoulders with each other, and it became extremely difficult to walk from the inside out, or enter from the outside.

There are a hundred game consoles in the game center, and there are people playing in front of each one, and countless people are surrounding him. Electronic music and gunfire explosions during firing are heard one after another, and you can't stop hearing exclamations from somewhere because of the player's performance.

Later, the game center was so crowded that it couldn't be crowded, and many famous players were blocked at the door, saying that they couldn't get in.

The game center was open until 10 p.m. that day, and when it was announced that the store would be closed, it was met with a collective boycott from all players. Some gang members even threatened to pour gasoline in front of the store and burn the game center if they dared to close the store.

As a result, the game center was simply closed.

Yamada, Zhou Han and other guard soldiers had to take turns to guard the store in pain and happiness, and the store was open 24 hours a day.

It wasn't until the next day, when some of the consoles were no longer able to refill coins due to too many coins, that they found an opportunity to do a big cleanup of the consoles.

On this day, the amusement center was even more popular, Zhou Han and they had to set up an interception line at the door, and only put one in when they came out, so as to barely maintain the amusement hall and stand still, so as not to squeeze into canned sardines.

The popularity here has also triggered a sales frenzy in Tokyo.

Tokyo Commerce, which has not yet been fully recruited, let alone had time to renovate, has received one call after another from the afternoon of the 6th, asking for the price of "Space Invaders". Some anxious merchants don't even ask the price, and directly quote hundreds or thousands of units.

The Tokyo Trade and Sales Department applied for a total of three telephones, but none of them were able to stop. Some businesses with access actually found the phone number of the company's general manager through the telecommunications company, and directly called the general manager office of Koji Kondo, and as soon as he opened his mouth, there were 3,000 units, which scared him so much that he almost didn't hold the phone.

Tokyo Commerce and Trade is a disaster here, and Taiwoo Technology is not easy there.

There are only two telephones here, and each one rings almost as soon as it is hung up. Many Japanese operators have found a new arcade business model through the game center in Akihabara, and after watching their booming business situation, there are so many coins that they need to ask the bank to send security personnel to provide door-to-door service, and they have also started to operate arcade game halls.

In two days, Taiyu Technology and Tokyo Commerce have received orders for more than 16,000 game consoles!

In the face of the frenzy of orders, Taiyu Technology and Tokyo Commerce decided to implement an advance payment system through several phone calls, and pay 30% advance payment for each order. Only merchants who have paid the advance payment will supply the goods in advance, otherwise others can only queue up and wait until all the merchants who have paid the advance payment are met, and then it will be the turn of others.

Even with such harsh conditions, Tokyo Commerce and Trade confirmed an order for 5,000 units in one day, and received an advance payment of 630 million yen, or 2.6 million US dollars, 15 million Hong Kong dollars!

In order to increase production capacity, Taiyu Technology is also facing a juncture of big expansion!
