Chapter 65 Investment?
How to avoid piracy?
In fact, there is no way to avoid piracy.
The only thing that can be done is to sell faster. and piracy to compete for the market until the market is saturated. What's more, most games are just following the trend and have been fine-tuned in detail.
Of course, this only applies to Space Invaders, as well as other arcade machines that are about the same time as it.
Because, they also belong to the forerunners of the whole video game. There is no experience that can be referred to, only one step at a time. From an extensive state, it has become intensively cultivated.
This is an inevitable process, and many followers can also foresee this. Some of them are not following the trend for the sake of following the trend, but through the opportunity of "Space Invaders" to better enter the video game industry.
Just like the game engineers at Atari, a few months ago, they were the most high-end game producers in the entire gaming industry. However, the big tree of Atari fell, and the people who were responsible for picking the fruits of the game were not happy.
Hayashi and John Kishimoto got into a company that had a company. These companies don't seem to be very large, but in fact they are very small. It's even smaller than a street factory in Japan.
However, these warehouses were converted into factories. Unlike street-side factories, their founders are often the top electronics talents. Even if it's not the top, it has some of the best talent in the world. Unlike most street-side factories, they have employees who are just leftovers picked up by big conglomerates.
This is, of course, Stanford University and the local government. Provide resource support and policy support for these "small workshops". Able to make students who have graduated from their schools. Have fun doing what you want to play.
During this period, countless companies will continue to die, and countless companies will continue to be established. Surfing the sand. In the end, those companies that are truly reliable will really stand out and step on the top of the whole world.
Of course, at Stanford and the government. They didn't know that this place would be so prosperous, just as they didn't know that the Internet would change the world.
The whole world, driven by Silicon Valley, will change rapidly. And these companies in Silicon Valley have also quickly accumulated wealth and become the world. A very important place to gather wealth.
These things will happen later, and no one will predict them in this day and age. For example, in this era, in the 80s of the twentieth century, a man ran to Bill Gates and pointed at him and said, "You will become the richest man in the world." So, for my prophecy's sake. Hurry up and entertain me with big fish and meat, let me hold your golden thighs, and let me eat and wait until I die.
I don't know if this kind of person will really live with a golden elephant leg. A carefree day when you don't have to worry about life. However, I think it's more that he will be treated as mentally ill by others.
Even if this person is really a time-traveler. He will still be admitted to a psychiatric hospital. The skull was opened by the doctor, and an ice pick was inserted into the brain to perform a prefrontal lobectomy.
Reputedly. People who have had their prefrontal lobes removed do not talk nonsense. It also looks very well-behaved. Even the most violent person will turn into a good baby.
Amazing surgery, right? The only problem, though. Its sequelae are a bit big, and people who have undergone surgery are basically stunned and pinched, and they can only giggle and become delirious.
In the decades between the birth of this surgery and its prohibition, countless people have been treated with such surgeries by doctors. There are prisoners, there are mentally ill people.
One of the more interesting examples is a mother who feels that her teenage child does not go to bed on time every day, which is too naughty and too unruly. So the doctor gave him this surgery. As a result, he really became very well-behaved, and he couldn't do it. It doesn't matter if you're stupid, just be nice.
All small enterprises, as soon as they heard that Lin Yan and the two of them were engaged in venture capital, were very enthusiastic.
They are very keen to sell themselves, to introduce the prospects of the industry, to introduce their ideals. The sentences are very coherent and rhythmic, like talking about a talk show or a cross talk.
Regardless of whether Lin Yan is optimistic about the projects that these people are working on. He was all smiling and listening, looking at them with a smile and nodding his head from time to time.
"You didn't find the company you want to invest in?" John Kishimoto said.
Lin Yan shook his head and said, "No." ”
It's not like he doesn't have a crush on the company. However, as long as it is a company he likes, almost several venture capitalists see it at the same time. Although these people in the 80s don't know what the future of science and technology will look like. However, their judgment was not bad at all.
Lin Yan didn't know what the basis for their judgment was. Is it based on the illusory prospects presented by those people? Or is it because of the charisma of the founders of those companies?
Lin Yan vaguely knows that the personal charm of the founder determines the corporate gene of a company to a certain extent, and on top of the corporate gene, the corporate culture will be developed. Whether a corporate culture is positive and cohesive will be related to how far the enterprise can go.
Some companies unite as one and unite as one, while others fight fiercely and tear each other down. Which one is competitive, it goes without saying.
However, everyone understands the truth. However, there are not many people who can really smooth out the relationship and create a good system.
This is the reason why Lin Yan didn't think about starting a business.
First of all, he was a high school student. Not to mention whether he is capable or not, it is difficult for people to identify with his identity alone.
A Stanford graduate can get a venture capital just by holding a diploma and saying I want to start a business. These people didn't care what he wanted to do with his business. They may not know what kind of person you are, who claims to be a businessman.
They're giving you this than VC just because you're a Stanford graduate.
Don't think that this is a special case of the United States in this era, far from it.
Even a few decades later, the Internet entrepreneurship that prevailed in the land of China was basically like this. As long as you have a fairly reliable academic background and give you endorsement, even if the thing you want to start a business is ridiculous, someone will give you money.
For example, the most common example is that these entrepreneurs seem to want to make everything into a power bank. I make a paper notebook, I put a protective case on it with a battery, and I say it's a smart notebook. It is possible to charge electronic devices.
Make a bicycle with a battery hidden on the bike to charge your phone. (To be continued......)
