Chapter 471: Development
"Hey, what are you looking at, queuing, you don't know how to queue up at such an age?"
Just as Jill wanted to stick his head out and look ahead, he was pulled back by a young man behind him, and he was beaten at him.
Jill smiled and asked, "I'm not here to play the game, I just want to ask you if this game is so fun?" ”
Although Jill has played it and finds it fun, he still wants to hear what his customers think or what he likes.
"Of course it's fun, it's much more interesting than that PONG, come, you'll know when you wait behind me to play."
Before the young man could finish his sentence, he heard a tick-tick knock from the machine inside.
"Oh, NO! You still have money! ”
A young man at the back of the line complained to the young man who was bending down to throw coins into the machine.
"Man, it's the last one" The guy threw the last coin in his hand into the machine with a little apology, and when he heard the tick-tick music, he played with all his heart.
The game is very simple, the first level is that there are some small squares glued together, and there are some vertical bricks between the small squares, all the player has to do is to move the board they control, so that the falling ball will knock down the small squares on it through the rebound force of the board.
When the ball falls, there are sometimes some rewards, such as controlling the ball to get bigger, or the number of balls to be larger.
There is also the fact that the board that can be moved will get longer and shorter as the ball hits. The longer it is, the easier it is to catch the cue ball, and the smaller it is, the easier it is to fail.
Of course, you'll have to keep your board in control of at least one cue ball, and when all the cue balls have landed, it's game over.
This game has been played many times by Gu Siwei before, don't look simple but really attractive, but now as an arcade machine, it is impossible for people to play so easily, a level of ten or twenty minutes, that still makes fart money, so now the speed at which the ball bounces up and lands is calculated.
In this way, an average player can stay in front of the machine for two to three minutes at most, and of course many will not even stay for a minute.
In addition, because of the addition of the joystick, the control of the game console is more smooth and silky, not like a button, you have to press, you have to let go when you get to the place, this operation is very laborious and laborious.
The playability of the game, coupled with the good operability, EA's first product, directly confused all competitors.
This situation is played out in many places, especially for young people, when there are a bunch of people in front of each machine, and the boss, who was still a little hesitant or not very happy to play EA games, called EA sales to ask for goods.
Gu Siwei was in the office discussing with Guan Youpeng and others about the recruitment of animation companies.
Guan Youpeng said: "Boss, in fact, there are many animation talents in Hong Kong, such as Huang Yulang, who is performing very well now, and some old comic ...... in the past."
Gu Siwei listened, he didn't feel it at all, he didn't know who Huang Yulang was, the cartoons he watched had almost no intersection with Hong Kong comics, and he used to watch "Sheriff Black Cat", "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", "Strange Tales from the Book of Heaven", or "Transfiguration King Kong", "Xiyangyang and Gray Taro", "Bear Infested".
The old one was shown to him by his father since he was a child.,Later, domestic cartoons were broadcast on TV.,Let's put it this way.,He only knows a few Japanese comics such as "Slam Dunk" and so on.,You told him about Hong Kong comics? It's still an antique-level person like Huang Yulang, if he knows, he will only have a ghost.
"Since this is the case, then recruit me to give it a try, as long as you have the ability to talk about the salary."
Gu Siwei has won the true biography of the old man Ren decades later in employing people: as long as the money is enough, how can there be no talent!
"Don't be afraid to spend money, I said, this project "Transformers" will be smashed first according to 10 million!"
Gu Siwei waved his hand, and now Lao Gu is almost stepping on the bench, with a big cigar between his fingers, and has changed the office into a righteous hall, otherwise he will be a rich bandit leader.
Knock knock!
Just as Gu Siwei was foaming at the mouth, suddenly there was a knock at the door of the office.
Gu Siwei looked at the door.
"Come in!"
There was a crack in the door, and a pretty girl walked in with a careful face, just standing in the doorway.
"Manager Guan, the phone from the United States, you said, there is something over there that must notify you, no matter when," Guan Youpeng's female secretary said.
Guan Youpeng glanced at Gu Siwei.
Gu Siwei waved his hand: "Go ahead, there may be something big going on over there late at night."
Gu Siwei is also a little worried, afraid that there will be some basket on EA's side, but after thinking about it, there will be no basket to poke, what big mistakes can a gang of people who engage in technology make, they will not blow up EA, even if they want to blow up, they don't have the tools.
Guan Youpeng ran over with a trot.
Gu Siwei talked to the remaining Huang Jiasheng about the opening of the market.
The two hadn't chatted for five minutes, and Guan Youpeng ran back.
"Boss, there's news from the United States."
Gu Siwei raised his head, glanced at Guan Youpeng, and then said to Huang Jiasheng: "See, Lao Guan is happy, it must be a good thing."
After speaking, he said to Guan Youpeng: "Say, what's the good news over there?" ”
"Our 100 game consoles in the early stage are hot," Guan Youpeng said: "Jill and they are all on the scene now, almost every machine, the box containing coins can't fit, and EA is sending decent people and local partners to count the money......."
The 100 game consoles in the early stage must be borrowing someone else's venue, and if you occupy someone else's venue, you must have a share with others, which is a normal thing.
Besides, Atari has already done this, to be exact, Atari is the pioneer of this market, and they have now set the rules, and E A will do it.
"So fast?" Gu Siwei was a little surprised and opened his mouth to ask.
Huang Jiasheng was also shocked, he knew how big the box with the coin was, and calculated in his heart, it started to be placed almost this morning, and it was put in place in the afternoon, so that even if it was the earliest batch, it would only be ten or so hours, and it would be full?
"The box full of coins?" Huang Jiasheng followed up and asked.
Guan Youpeng nodded excitedly: "Well, it's full, the batch invested in front of me is almost full, and at this time, there are still many people surrounding the machine in those places near the lively location, and many partners call at night to ask EA to add machines."
Gu Siwei listened to Guan Youpeng's words and said: "In this case, notify Jill and let them stock up on the goods, and prepare a quantity of 5,000 units first."
Hiss!
Not only Zheng Youpeng, but Huang Jiasheng took a breath of cool air, the volume of 5,000 units?
Now it's only a hundred, not to mention whether it can be digested, even if it's digested, when will the 5,000 units have to be installed, and now EA is almost all handmade.
Gu Siwei was not in the mood to think about what the two of them were thinking about now, he knocked on the table and said, "How is the factory here?" ”
"It's still going to advance," Guan Youpeng said.
"I can't just promote, now there are so many small electronics industries in Hong Kong, what to push, directly spend money to poach people, I want electrical engineers, double the salary if it doesn't work, twice as much, at least ten to fifteen people for me, and let EA also look for suitable Chinese engineers in the United States, if they are willing to come to Hong Kong, they still enjoy the salary treatment in the United States, which is considered to be borrowed by EA employees here, and also give foreign work allowance ......."
Gu Siwei said for a long time, and there is only one spirit: take money and smash it!
Who do you talk to about giving in the capitalist world? Seriously, if the country can open the door to let itself go over to hug talents, Gu Siwei is not even willing to ask for EA's current group of engineers.
Don't think that the domestic electronics industry is backward now, it is not a few years behind the United States at all, in the emerging electronics field, the gap between the country and the developed countries is smaller than the era when Gu Siwei came. Because it is an emerging industry, everyone almost started to run on the same line, and no one was a few years ahead of the other.
It's a pity that yes, Gu Siwei can't do it.
"In short, I want to see the factory here as soon as possible, the production of key parts is not considered, we only consider assembly, and the production of some basic parts, important things are still purchased from the United States, let's learn little by little," Gu Siwei said.
"Jiasheng, you are responsible for the affairs of the factory" Gu Siwei began to order: "Youpeng, you are responsible for the communication with EA, and the fairy child side must also strive to ensure the supply of 5,000 sets of the main version."
"Boss, do you want to reduce it a little bit first?" Guan Youpeng is still a steady style.
Gu Siwei shook his head: "No, wait for 5,000 sets to come, there must be at least 500 sets in the Hong Kong market, put a few important places to put it up, by the way, let's set up a video game company, as for how to calculate the rent of the video game company and Google Real Estate, just go according to eighty percent of the market, and don't collect the rent in the first few months......."
The corners of Guan Youpeng's mouth lifted slightly: Good guy, another video game company has popped up, and the boss really wants to come out of it.
"You nominate a manager to this company, and I'll talk to the accountant about the finance side!"
Although Gu Siwei said that he had built a new company, he didn't take a fancy to this kind of Laozi's video game company, and he was not interested in this thing, he planned to run it, and then sell the company to Zhao Sanle to do it.
Of course, these stores must be sky-high when they sell to Zhao Sanle, so many tickets are going to be white, how can it be not expensive, besides, who dares to say that video games are not profitable, now this is Jinwowo, what's the problem with several times more prices? In the market economy, one is willing to sell and the other is willing to buy.
