Reborn Tycoon Rise

In his new office, He Guoyuan carefully looked at the information about his new employer.

At present, with the advantage of being one step ahead, Midea's claw machines occupy more than 40% of the market in Xiangjiang. The dealer on Wanwan's side has successfully negotiated and the first batch of 100 claw machines has arrived at the dock and is waiting for customs clearance procedures to be completed. Then you can board the ship.

These are the previous developments. From today on, He Guoyuan will take control of the company, and the new owner has given him great freedom. He will make the final decision on many business matters, unless it involves important decisions or a large amount of financial matters. Only need to report.

His first task was to identify RB's dealer as soon as possible. In fact, during this period, several trading companies in Xiangjiang bought hundreds of claw machines from Midea, and some of them were sent to RB. It is said that there was a response from RB. Not bad.

However, RB merchants did not expect to purchase more goods from Xiangjiang. Instead, they immediately sought production factories in their own country. The patriotic spirit deserves to be encouraged, but some knowledgeable people have great awareness. The labor cost of RB is too high, and the technology of the claw machine is too high. The content is not high. In this regard, it is difficult to compare with the extremely low cost of Xiangjiang, so several grocery dealers from RB have contacted Midea.

Xu Zhi walked in and said with a smile: "How are you doing? Do you know something about our company?"

Although the boss is relatively young, He Guoyuan is still more cautious and said: "Pretty much, the company currently has two tasks:

The first is to negotiate with RB's dealers.

The second is the development of two arcade games. "

"Yes, this is for you." Xu Zhi handed over a document.

He Guoyuan opened it and took a look. It was a text summary of various gameplay and settings of the new game.

Xu Zhidao: "These files are my requirements for the game. Please understand first. I don't know any technology, so don't talk too many technical terms to me. You guys will make this game according to my requirements first, and then we will Let’s study together.”

The file contained information that Xu Zhi had painstakingly brainstormed about later Tetris and Snake, but in fact it was of little use, and was more of just some logical requirements.

The later inventor of Tetris created it to test computer performance. It is said that he completed the design in only 9 days.

Although it was already the mid-1980s, computer and chip technology was much better than it was in 1977, but if one person spent 9 days, Midea's team now has more than a dozen people. In order to speed up the progress of research and development, Xu Zhi also deliberately It cost more than 10,000 US dollars to import a small business computer from IBM in the United States. The performance of this thing should be comparable to the personal computers of the 1980s.

The design of the game is very easy, but more important and time-consuming is the determination of the game logic.

Take the Xiangjiang cube as an example. In what order should the seven different combinations fall from each other? It is too simple to keep a long bar or a field shape, and it is too complicated to keep a Z-shape or a T-shape. Moreover, the order in which they fall is It is impossible to set an order in advance, it must be determined based on the block patterns combined by the following players.

So it is very important what the rules are every time it falls. This is also the algorithm of many softwares. It is easy to make the Xiangjiang Cube game, but it takes a lot of experiments to find the best algorithm.

Historically, Nintendo also set up a series of transportation rules after acquiring Tetris. Of course, since they were strong, this kind of house-playing game was quickly solved.

In the same way, the same goes for Snake, but it is much simpler. You only need to design the location of the new points according to different shapes. What is the difficulty and what rules will the points appear in? These are actually There are certain logical limitations.

He Guoyuan read the entire document, which contained requirements for the entire game interface, framework, and graphics. But having said that, arcade machines now do not have many requirements. They are basically a dark screen with a few moving objects. Image.

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "This plan is for reference only. The reason why I took out the documents is because I am afraid that these technical geeks will be too imaginative and let themselves go. If they do, I am afraid there will be no results in a year and a half."

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "Yes, we will first design the entire framework according to the above requirements, and then we will slowly improve it."

Xu Zhidao: "Let's put this aside for now. What do you think about the claw machine?"

He Guoyuan replied: "I checked the company's sales records. The competition in Xiangjiang has been very fierce recently. It is said that many companies have begun to produce claw machines, and they are using some disgraceful means to compete with us. Wanwan The market there is actually not that big, and it probably won’t last long. So the markets in Europe, America and RB are extremely important now.”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "At present, we need to find RB dealers as soon as possible. As for Europe and the United States, I actually don't have high hopes. Our transactions with them are mainly based on cooperation with trading companies."

He Guoyuan asked: "What Xu Sheng means is that you think it is difficult for claw machines to become popular in Europe and the United States?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "This is just my guess. Whether the claw machine is popular or not has a lot to do with a local law. The United States has Las Vegas, but RB Xiangjiang does not."

"What you mean is..." He Guoyuan smiled tacitly and said: "It makes sense, but you should still try it first."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "After completing the current things, you can focus on developing the European and American markets in the future. What do you think of these RB companies?"

He Guoyuan said: "Although we haven't negotiated with them yet, the price and checkout method they proposed are very bad, but the advantage lies in their strength. Both companies have a history of more than 50 years, so they are trustworthy. But I don't understand , why did Xu Sheng and Sato Gouichi also join in?"

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "This guy is very interesting. I originally thought he was just trying to get away with nothing, but I didn't expect that he actually resigned from his own company in order to obtain our distribution qualification.

But this is a small matter. The most powerful thing about this guy is that he resigned from his own company, and he actually tricked his company into ordering 150 claw machines from him. "

Sato Kuichi worked together to get the order from the old company, and then came to Xu Zhi with the order to lower the price. Although the quantity was not large, Xu Zhi still agreed to him.

To be able to obtain such a large order from the company where he left his job, he must either have the ability or the connections, whichever one is good.

He Guoyuan smiled and said: "It is indeed very interesting. The price he quoted is much lower than other companies. We have to focus on him."

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, but if this Sato is really so capable, we must also consider maximizing interests. You send someone to follow him to RB. He must prove to us that he has sufficient channel sales capabilities. If If he can pass the test, we will also need shares in his new company, not much, just 49%."

He Guoyuan shook his head and said: "That's not much! Sato is probably going to be so angry that he vomits blood."

Xu Zhi smiled and said: "Negotiation! It's just bargaining with each other. 49% is just the highest point. Just pay attention to this when negotiating with him, and we will also invest funds according to the shareholding ratio. He won't lose on this." .”

He Guoyuan frowned and said: "We are still a new company now. Although we are not very short of funds, would it not be good to invest in channel construction so early?"

Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "Actually, the claw machine is not important. In comparison, I hope that Sato's channel development capabilities can meet my requirements."

He Guoyuan asked: "So, we are here to pave the way for arcade machines?"

Xu Zhi nodded and said: "Yes, arcade machines and claw machines are both entertainment toys and can be placed in shopping malls, game halls, cinemas and other places. If the profits of the claw machines can be quickly combined into channels, it is the most important to us. "

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. One more thing, our company's patent library has many cute ragdoll toys. These are outsourced for production. I want to acquire this company to specialize in toys. "

Xu Zhi asked: "Why? Haven't you always told me that we should adopt an asset-light model?"

He Guoyuan said with a smile: "This toy company is not a heavy asset, it only has a few dozen people. I mainly considered that the doll machine will soon enter RB, and the patents there are strict, unlike the large number of piracy in Hong Kong now. , if our toys sell well, RB Company can only buy them from us, and if they are all outsourced, they will lose a lot of profits. This kind of asset-light and low-profit industry is not suitable for outsourcing."

Xu Zhi nodded and asked, "How much will the acquisition cost?"

He Guoyuan smiled and said: "A few hundred thousand is enough. If the other party doesn't agree, the worst we can do is spend some time building a factory ourselves."

Xu Zhidao: "I have no objection to your acquisition, but I'm afraid it will be a waste of the company's time if we open our own factory. At present, our main task is the development of arcade and RB market channels, and other things are not important."

He Guoyuan nodded and said: "Understood."

Xu Zhidao: "Let's see, whether it is an acquisition or a new company, it will still be handed over to Changxing in the future. Changxing is a cultural company, so this toy can barely be considered a kind of toy! In case Lin Wenzhou has nothing to do every day."

He Guoyuan nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll go discuss this matter with him in the afternoon."
