Shirakawa Electric's stock went on the market less than an hour after it went public, and it's not just the parties here on the East Stock Exchange who are excited.

The Shirakawa Electric Factory, which is also located in various places, is also a jubilant scene.

As stakeholders, many workers not only bought the original shares, but even bought some of the issued shares.

Their idea is very simple, Shirakawa Electric is going to go public, so it is also appropriate to support a little bit by themselves.

I have to say that the neon workers at this time have a very strong sense of belonging to their club.

In the context of the era of lifetime employment, they generally regard the club as the destination of their future careers.

In addition, a series of policies formulated by Shirakawa Electric are actually very caring for workers.

So out of gratitude, and everyone's strong sense of belonging, there are not a few people who buy new shares.

Now that the share price of Shirakawa Electric has directly reached the upper limit of 1,300 yen, everyone certainly has a reason to be happy.

You must know that as an internal employee, the price at which they buy the original shares is only 200 yen per plant.

The current stock price is 1,300 yen, which is a difference of 1,100 yen.

Even with a limit of 1,000 plants per person, I made a net profit of nearly one million yen in just half a day.

1 million yen, that's more than half a year's salary.

With such a huge amount of money, how can the bottom salarymen not be happy.

After making a windfall, they jumped and jumped in excitement in the hall, and even raised their fists directly and shouted, "Boss, board!" ”。

With this listing experience, it goes without saying that the employees of Shirakawa Electric cherish their work more and more.

At the same time, I was secretly thinking that I could buy more employee shares within the club in the future.

This is a benefit for Shirakawa Electric's own employees, and for every 10,000 yen purchased, an additional 20% of the stock will be given.

This kind of equity incentive is available in many large enterprises, and the purpose is to encourage employees to support their own stocks.

Not to mention the jubilation here of Shirakawa Electric, Yamauchi, who is far away in Kyoto, is also in a very complicated mood at this time.

Shirakawa Electric's stock price limit, to be honest, Nintendo, which quietly touched it, also made a lot of money.

But when he thought that his competitor Shirakawa Electric made more money, Yamauchi felt uncomfortable.

That's right, his idea is so simple, if only he earns it himself, and Shirakawa Electric loses, how good it would be.

Especially the 1,300 yen stock price, which is really quite glaring.

Nintendo's stock price is still fluctuating within 200 yen, not even a fraction of Shirakawa's share.

Not to mention the total market capitalization, Nintendo is only two or three hundred billion, while Shirakawa Electric is close to one or one hundred billion

Sour, really sour.

Yamauchi Pu, who didn't feel good in his heart, thought about it, and asked people to call Masayuki Uemura from the second R&D department to the office.

"How's the development of our home console?"

That's right, Nintendo is also developing its own home game console, and even the project was set up at a similar time as Shirakawa.

It was around November last year that such an idea came about.

I have to say that as each other's opponents, although the two sides did not disclose any information at the beginning, their actions were surprisingly consistent.

However, Shirakawa Electric wanted to develop a home game console because of Shirakawa Kaede's personal order.

However, Nintendo's development of home game consoles was influenced by Coleco, and Coleco's home game consoles in the United States market were authorized by Nintendo's "Donkey Kong".

Later, Coleco's Donkey Kong cassette game sold more than 1 million units in just one year.

Can Nintendo, as the owner of the game rights, not be blushing? Pu Yamauchi will have no idea?

Trying to make money everywhere, he did not hesitate to give the order for the development of the home machine, and took the prototype from Coleco as a reference object.

Masayuki Uemura, who is now in charge of the development of the home game console, looked a little embarrassed when he heard Pu Yamauchi's inquiry.

"Other issues are being solved, but the processor hasn't been settled yet."

After several years of deep cultivation in the field of game consoles, Nintendo also has some of its own technical accumulation.

But when it comes to using it, it feels a little inadequate, because home consoles are completely different platforms from handheld consoles and arcade machines.

The handheld is too simple, and its development experience is completely unapplicable to home consoles.

The arcade machine is too big, and the circuit board inside is a complete giant.

Trying to miniaturize them and cram them into a tiny home console is not a little difficult for Nintendo.

However, these are not problems, the most important thing is the processor.

It is the core accessory of the home game console, and its selection determines the hardware cost, operation status and development difficulty of the machine.

Masayuka Uemura and others on the team went to the semiconductor company to study the design plan, but the effect was not ideal.

Hearing that the development of home machines had encountered difficulties, Yamauchi Pu subconsciously frowned.

"Isn't there a processor on the market that can meet the needs of home machine development?"

"Yes, yes, but because of cost or other reasons, it hasn't been decided yet." Masayuki Uemura's face was embarrassed.

"Let's talk about it in detail" The tyrant Yamauchi Pu is ready to personally determine the selection of the processor now, and the development progress of Shirakawa Electric there has also put a lot of pressure on him.

Masayuki Uemura pondered for a moment, then replied.

"The Z80 used in arcades can also be used as a processor for home consoles, but the model is on the older side and the price is a bit high.

MOS6502 can also be used, Atari's home console uses their chips, but its price is about the same as that of the Z80, and the budget is a bit tight.

But there is another chip on the market, which is the best choice in terms of performance and price, and it is also a processor designed by a local neon company."

"Oh~ Neon's local chip, which company's product is it?" Yamauchi's eyes lit up.

The local is good, with his own connections, it must not be difficult to negotiate this business.

"Uh," Masayuki Uemura said, "It's the SIC8089A processor of SIC." ”

In terms of choosing a home computer chip, Masayuki Uemura has tried most of the processors on the market.

SIC8089A are one of the few chips he likes.

In terms of performance, it is even better than the Z80 and MOS6502, and the price is only a dozen dollars, which is the cheapest processor on the market.

It is said that as long as the order reaches 1 million pieces, the price will drop by a third, and this offer is very tempting.

Compared with the other two chips, it will definitely save a lot of cost.

I just don't know how the president will be chosen, Masayuki Uemura looked up at Pu Yamauchi behind the desk.

Hearing Masayuki Uemura report the name of SIC, Yamauchi's brow, which had just been released, furrowed again.

If it had been before, maybe he wouldn't have thought much about it.

But after Shirakawa's briefing, how did he not understand who the capital behind SIC was, knowing that he was on the scene at the time.

After thinking about it repeatedly, Yamauchi Pu still vetoed the SIC chip in his heart, and joked that the core components used competitors' things, which was too risky.

Thinking of this, he picked up the phone on the table and began to dial the number.

After a while, the phone was connected, and Yamauchi Pu said a few words and hung up the phone.

"Let's go to Ricoh, they have MOS6502 license and have developed their own chip on this technology.

Just contacted them and there should be a good deal on the offer. ”

"Hai" Masayuki Uemura nodded, indicating understanding.

Ricoh Semiconductor and Nintendo also have a certain cooperative relationship, their arcade machine was commissioned to Mitsubishi Electric to develop, and the chip used in it is a product from Ricoh.

There is such a relationship, and they can be regarded as having some friendship with each other.

Looking at Masayuki Uemura, the back of the departure, Yamauchi Pu sighed tiredly.

Now to deal with Shirakawa Electric, it is becoming more and more powerless.

In the past, it was possible to make a stumbling block on the LCD, but in less than a year, Shirakawa Electric's LCD plant has been put into operation.

Now it's even more amazing, the other party of the processor chip is eligible to get a piece of the pie.

Compared with Shirakawa Electric, Nintendo's accumulation of technology is too far behind.

Now the only place where Nintendo can still have an advantage is the content development team and the related talent pool to be stronger.

I just don't know how long this advantage can be maintained.

Yamauchi Pu looked worriedly in the direction of Tokyo, stunned.

And Shirakawa Kaede, who is far away in Tokyo, has been warmly sought after by the media at the moment.

"Shirakawa-san, how do you feel about the stock price limit on the first day of listing?"

"The market value of Baichuan Electric has exceeded one trillion yuan and has officially become a super giant enterprise, so what are the strategic adjustments of your company in terms of operation?"

"Shirakawa-san, may I ask what you plan to do in your personal life after becoming a trillion-year-old?"

There are many kinds of questions, but most of them focus on the issue of wealth.

It's either about Shirakawa Electric or it's about personal life.

In everyone's mind, suddenly the net worth skyrocketed, so can the aircraft and yacht be arranged?

After all, the public pays attention to these and likes to watch gossip in this regard.

For these strange questions, Shirakawa Kaede couldn't cry or laugh.

However, as a media appreciation meeting after the listing, he can only try to answer as formally as possible.

The audience is full of business people, how can they speak freely and do whatever they want.

I really asked in a hurry, and at most I replied to a private jet or something, and I had no plans for the time being.

"Shirakawa-san, Nintendo's Yamauchi Utsu-san said two days ago that if Shirakawa Electric's home game console sells more than one million units, he will walk upside down with his head down.

What do you think about Yamauchi-san's response? Do you have confidence in Shirakawa Electric's home game consoles to sell 1 million units? ”

Watching the lively media is not a big deal, of course, they will not let go of this breaking news.

At the press conference after the listing of Shirakawa Electric, he directly asked Shirakawa Kaede's opinion in person.

As soon as this question was asked, the reporters around me were all bright-eyed, and it was really refreshing to eat melons recently.

"There isn't much to say about it. However, Yamauchi-san is old, so there is no need to walk upside down.

As a junior, no matter how Shirakawa Electric's home game console performs in the future, the contemptible person will personally visit the door. ”

Hearing Shirakawa Kaede's answer, the reporters automatically ignored the second sentence.

The first sentence is a meat play, and the reporters around are all working hard to write, and the expressions on their faces are indescribably satisfied.

Listen, that's a great answer.

It seems to be sympathetic to Yamauchi's predecessor identity, but the other meaning in the words is that Shirakawa Electric will win?

However, unlike Yamauchi's big mouth, Shirakawa Electric will not really let Yamauchi walk upside down even if he wins.

Look, there is both self-confidence and demeanor, and the responses of both sides are high-level.

Ahem, in front of the media, beautiful words still have to be said.

Of course, Shirakawa Kaede heard about Yamauchi's previous remarks about his game console, after all, someone called him that day.

But he didn't bother to talk about it, it was too low.

Anyway, with our current identity, we don't need to fight for fame with our mouths.

But since this question is asked, it's okay to respond a little.

I don't look at what the occasion is now, the East Stock Exchange, but how can it be done to give shareholders and investors confidence.

Just after the press conference at Shirakawa Electric, the people at IBM found him again.

After the official launch of the Blue Book jointly released by Shirakawa Electric and Sony, Luis, who was firmly seated in Diaoyutai, could no longer maintain his previous calmness.

Yesterday, I wanted to contact Shirakawa Electric to talk about the standardization of optical drives, but he was busy with the listing, and Shirakawa Feng didn't have time to pay attention to him.

Now that the listing has ended, the other party can't wait to come to the door.

Anyway, the problem of disc storage, which has been delayed for so long, should also be over.
