Chapter 23: The Beginning of Competition
How many billionaires can be minted in the video game industry, Lin Yan doesn't know this kind of thing, and the vast majority of people don't know either. There are more news reports, such as the transformation of retired players and the story of Taobao selling cakes with an annual income of one million.
The game industry, like any industry, will have people making money and people being eliminated. At least in Taiwan now, there is one player who has made money.
He was a child, a kid who dominated several arcade machines outside the Phantom Cinema.
Ever since he had been punched dozens of times in the mouth that day, he had started a hard-working daily connection. Aside from the time he spent in school and studying, all his energy was focused on this Space Invaders.
At the end of the day, Space Invaders is just a video game, a rigid video game. As long as he puts enough energy, no matter how difficult he is, there will still be people who will overcome him.
Just like a child, he has put a lot of energy into it, and now in addition to refreshing the records he has created over and over again every day, his life is as lonely as snow.
His crazy game naturally attracted the attention of other players. The title of "Kid" is also spread by word of mouth, and it is spread in the ears of more and more Space Invaders players.
The owner of the Phantom Cinema saw that this little kid attracted a large number of people who played arcades, and the income from the arcade was almost catching up with the income from playing movies.
After placing a few more orders for a few video game arcade machines, he spent another sum of money to hire kids who could attract a lot of popularity.
The salary is not much, but at least the children don't need to pay for the machine. In addition, players who have good deeds bet on a game with children from time to time. The child's income even exceeds the per capita monthly income of Taoyuan County.
"Matsuo-senpai, did the boss get the program for the new game?" Ishida didn't know that he had asked Uncle Matsuo one of the few times.
Uncle Matsuo's willpower is still very strong, and he has quit the habit of eating limes, but after giving up this heavy fruit, he likes dragon fruit again.
Ishida saw dragon fruit for the first time. I thought that this thing was eaten in the same way as watermelon, but he said at the time, there are so many things in this thing, wouldn't it be annoying to eat it.
But. After a while, he was slapped in the face. Only then did he know that this kind of thing was eaten by Lianzi.
"Don't worry, isn't business very good now? Didn't we recruit more than 20 people in the past two days. So what's the point of rushing a new game? The corners of Uncle Matsuo's mouth were stained with a few small black dots, and he said very indifferently.
"The pirates in China have been sued. Even though we haven't been accused yet, I don't think it's going to be too long. Ishida said.
Although he is physically in Hong Kong, he is very concerned about the situation in Japan. Video game arcades have unsurprisingly taken Tokyo by storm, and their coverage has also spread from Tokyo to the rest of Japan.
Dongli and Persimmon Family, when expanding the market, also began to frantically send lawyers' letters. Regardless of the cost of work, even if it is a loss, you have to sue those small pirates. The means are so tough that people feel unimaginable.
Do they want to eat such a big market alone? How can it be?
Many owners of small piracy manufacturers think so in their hearts. The margins of the arcade market for video games have no end in sight. Why did the two of them eat and wipe it clean, and there was not even a little soup left.
The environment in Japan is so bad that almost all pirates have stopped working. There are very few fish that have slipped through the net, and the Kagawa boss, a factory that opens up overseas markets, is one of the few remaining fields.
Ishida, who enjoyed huge profits, didn't want to do anything like this, just sit and wait for death. He wanted to do something, but Boss Kagawa and Matsuo Senpai didn't make any moves.
He has a monkey-like stance. It all fell into Matsuo's eyes, and he remembered the advice of Kagawa's boss on the phone across the ocean, and he swallowed the lackluster dragon fruit flesh and said, "Wouldn't it be nice if you couldn't make one with a few of them?" ”
"Do...... One? Do...... One...... Game? Ishida was stunned. He muttered.
He suddenly wanted to hit the wall for his stupidity, how could I be so stupid and not get pirated copies of other people's games, why not make a game myself.
That's right! That's right!
Ishida was excited like a child, and he jumped and said, "I see! I get it! ”
He excitedly ran into the dark room. I started to study with a few technologists in the room who grew in the dark and looked like mushrooms.
The staff of Dongli's office in Taiwan found an arcade machine in Taipei today. He made a phone call to Japan......
When Lin Yan learned that Ren Hell had launched a portable game console, he didn't have a stunned expression, the strong man in his memory is a strong man after all, and he will enter this stage sooner or later.
"What does their console look like?" Lin Yan let his voice reach Baishi's ears through the telephone cord.
yes, what does their console look like? Shiraishi suddenly thought about it. What are you panicking about? I'm panicking wool.
Bai Shi relaxed because of Lin Yan's words, not that Lin Yan's words were powerful, but that Bai Shi had just fallen into habitual thinking and deceived himself.
"I don't know yet, I only have brochures here. They will be able to complete the distribution in Tokyo within this week. It is sold in major shopping malls...... "Shiraishi said.
Just because you don't have to be afraid doesn't mean you can take it lightly. Not everyone can do this in a week.
At least, Torichi's video game arcade has not yet been able to complete the distribution in Tokyo. One is productivity, and the other is sales channels.
Although the factories that produce arcade machines have been built one after another, there are only so many skilled workers. If a new field is not built, the yield rate will drop by a few percentage points. These things are not in a hurry, and it takes time to precipitate.
"It's okay, there's no need to rush. Let's prepare for the sale of electronic pet machines step by step. Their video game carriers won't also be electronic pets. Lin Yan said so. But he searched for memories in his head, recalling the timeline of Ren Hell exiting the laptop.
It won't be a "game boy", Lin Yan can think of the first game console launched by Ren Hell, and this is it.
It shouldn't be possible......
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and when the time comes, let's talk about it then......" Lin Yan rubbed his head because he forcibly recalled it, and said with some pain.
"That's the only way, if you get the machine of Ren Hell, I will bring it to Lin Yanjun as soon as possible." Shiraishi also said with a headache.
This is also the first competition crisis that Lin Yan encountered after the video game was launched by Lin Yan. (To be continued.) )
