21. Start making (ask for a collection recommendation ticket)

Li Hua inspected the company and left, saying that it was an inspection, but in fact, he came to take a look, after all, there are a few people in the company now, and there is nothing else.

At the same time, he also needs to communicate with Huo Ya, and Huo Ya's side is also quite important.

The production price of the game cartridge, as well as the quality, etc., all need to be communicated between Hoya and the factory.

On Li Hua's side, he could only take out $400,000 as money for the production of game cartridges.

In addition to using the other money to develop the game, Li Hua needs to keep it as publicity expenses.

This time is not like the last time "Custer's Revenge", because it has a social impact, so Li Hua doesn't need to spend money on propaganda at all, he only needs to write some advertorials, and the media will naturally report it.

…………

As Christmas approaches, various promotions are also unfolding, among which Li Hua is naturally most concerned about Atari's new game "E.T. Aliens".

"E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" is an adaptation of the famous director Spielberg's sci-fi blockbuster.

The copyright fee alone is an astronomical amount, and there are all kinds of conditions like ripping off the bamboo.

Atari's parent company, Warner Communications, specially formulated this game, originally took a fancy to the huge popularity of "E.T. Extra-Terrestrial", and wanted to use it to defend against various third-party bad games, while continuing to expand the market and its own influence.

But Warners are just thinking about it, because they just think that as long as the publicity is in place, the rest is fine.

After all, Warner Media and Universal Pictures only negotiated the production rights and adaptation rights in July.

Warners also asked for a sale during the Christmas holiday, and the production time was quite tight, directly compressed to six weeks.

In the end, the game was also successfully completed, thanks to the famous veteran game designer Howard Scott Warshaw.

This person's ability is very strong, if he were replaced by someone else, in a short period of time, let alone complete the adaptation and production of "E.T. Extraterrestrial", even the preliminary work would not be completed.

And this is a big-budget game, and it would be impossible to complete it in just six weeks.

But Howard is done, no matter how the game is made, but at least it is finished, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

Let's put it this way, in the game "Super Mario Bros.", when Li Hua had prepared all kinds of planning plans, Sandy still spent nearly a month.

Although this is the reason why Li Hua's requirements are somewhat high, I also have to admit Howard's ability.

The promotion of "E.T. Alien" is in full swing, and the entire game market has begun to be lively, showing a prosperous scene, but what Li Hua sees is a carnival before the end.

…………

"Basically what I asked for." Under the expectant gaze of Sandy and Professor Meredith, Li Hua said this.

The two of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and their eyes were full of joy, which meant that the two of them could get the final payment.

After a busy month, the task is finally completed.

Li Hua didn't mean to delay the arrears, and settled their wages on the spot.

After Meredith got the money, he left directly, but Sandy didn't leave in a hurry.

He still has some questions for Li Hua, especially when it comes to games.

In the past month, Sandy has been thinking about this game a lot, and the more she thinks about it, the more amazing it feels!

In almost every way, this game is as perfect as Sandy thinks!

In particular, this game is not a big production in terms of game background or various gameplay.

But the more this happened, the more incredible Sandy felt, and at the same time, this was researched by Li Hua alone, which made him even more unbelievable.

So during this time, Sandy accumulated a lot of questions, just to ask Li Hua.

In the face of Sandy's inquiry, Li Hua just smiled and said: "These questions are nothing, but now we can't communicate too much for the time being, but I believe that we will have the opportunity to communicate in the future." ”

What Li Hua said was meaningful, and Sandy quickly understood what Li Hua meant.

But he still didn't think he would leave Atari to work on Li Hua's side.

Although the game "Super Mario Bros. " did bring him enough surprises, Li Hua and Atari are still too much different.

It's not a level at all, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's ants and elephants.

Until now, no one has ever thought that anyone could surpass Atari in the gaming world.

It's really Atari that Atari's share of the game market is too high, and it can really be said to be a monopoly.

Sandy sighed and said with some disappointment, "Hopefully." ”

This is just a casual remark, and after saying that, he is ready to leave.

After all, Li Hua was reluctant to communicate with him about games, and there was no need for him to stay.

Li Hua didn't keep it, but said, "There must be a chance." ”

Li Hua is very satisfied with Sandy, his personal creative ability may not be very strong, after all, until now, he has not made a popular game.

But Sandy's execution is no problem at all, and he basically completed the various tasks assigned by Li Hua perfectly.

This is also what Li Hua values.

After they all left, Li Hua called Huo Ya and Horace over.

Now Horace also puts his mind on the bright side, that is, to invest in Li Hua, as long as Li Hua has something, he will be the first to arrive.

"Huo Ya, I'll leave the game production to you, and the price will be eight dollars." Li Hua said.

This is the cost price, and it is also the result of Hoya's hard work for so long.

Otherwise, it is really not very easy for a newcomer and a new company to get this price.

"Are we really going to customize 50,000 game cartridges directly? Isn't that a bit much? Hoya persuaded.

"I talked to those factories, in fact, we can make about 10,000 sets first, and if it is really not enough to sell, we can add more."

"Although the cost will be higher, the risk will also be much lower."

Horace actually wanted to persuade Li Hua, he also thought it was too risky, once he failed this time, then Li Hua might have to be completely planted.

All the previous earnings must not only be lost cleanly, but also a lot of money owed, in addition to taxes.

These are all things that Li Hua needs to bear.

Li Hua knew Huo Ya's worries, and said confidently: "I am confident that this time it will be a big sale, and 50,000 sets is because I only have so much money now." ”

"Don't worry, think about the previous game, it can sell 100,000 units, this game will not be low."

Li Hua began to cheer them up, and at the same time, he was expressing his confidence.
