Great Power

"Well-this is a trade secret."

Haoxuan did not immediately admit that Zheng Jianguo took a lot of effort to change his mouth, but he did not expect that this doctor who can be called a senior resident is still a super game fan: "To be honest, I have a lot of income. Part of it is spent on the game console. Compared with the gameplay of the magic cube, this game is like a tuft of shit, when can you release it?"

"Well, this is still a trade secret—"

Repeating the previous remarks again, Zheng Jianguo couldn't help but feel a sense of powerlessness. He has a lot of things on his hands now, and the stall is getting bigger and bigger, but there are not many people who can really use it and believe in it. .

Jianguo Company has Zuo Zhengrong sitting in town, and Charlie is holding the fund to be established at the end of the year. He is going to be called the umbrella security company and he is going to let Harris take charge. So whether Harris finds a major or a brigadier general, this is also There are checks and balances.

The rest are the three biological laboratories personally in charge of Zheng Jianguo, the Helicobacter pylori and the HIV virus laboratory named unknown virus set up under the digestion center, and there is also a private blue pill laboratory. .

Of course, these three laboratories also have their own persons in charge, Catherine and Esther of Helicobacter pylori, Bertha of the HIV Virus Laboratory, Celia of the Blue Pill Laboratory, and the atom of physics. Grade graphite layer laboratory, that is in charge of Thomas.

In addition to these, since Zheng Jianguo’s million dividends last year did not change, his shareholding ratio in Activision games has exceeded 20%. Now I am looking at June. The sales statistics for the first half of the year will be very high. Come out soon, then the dividends that follow are almost the same.

Obviously, Zheng Jianguo allowed the natural growth of Activision games on the grounds of not lacking money and energy, but deep in his heart, this company involved his future arrangements in the computer field.

After all, for the future development of computers, Zheng Jianguo has always kept his eyes in mind. At this time, the computer applications, including the Blue Giant and Wang An Computer, are using WPS office as the main fist product, concurrently operating large Machine and personal PC direction.

As for gaming and entertainment, Zheng Jianguo has learned over the years and knows that it is not that computer manufacturers have seen business opportunities. As early as the establishment of Microhardware in 1975 and Fruit Computer in 1976, Wang An Computer was launched in 1973. The wang-2200 machine that can be used for game entertainment and design.

However, whether it is this personal PC or the Fruit 2 computer, in the eyes of Zheng Jianguo, there is a fundamentally high threshold-to use these computers, you need to learn a huge command symbol, just like he learned before. Before the Wubi font input method, you need to keep in mind that there are not many but enough to be called a complicated radical table.

This threshold is an unimaginable difficulty for ordinary people to get started, and it is also the reason why the PCs launched by major computer manufacturers cannot enter millions of households, so they cannot quickly grab funds to speed up the progress of research and development.

As for the solution to this threshold, MS-DOS is much simpler than before!

Of course, this is only a small step towards the visual operating system-

Although he has the memory of his previous life, Zheng Jianguo has no business experience. Since his rebirth, he has come to the present. Most of the time, he is planning on the basis of events or things in his memory until he saw it at Bruce's last time. Before Augustus, he had thrown out his own ambitions and attacked the oil contract!

This is a daring idea. After all, in a sense, this is the enemy of the capital of the world. Imagine the end of the Harland family, hand over all the silver contracts and take the money away, but also sold everything. The belongings can be regarded as a complete failure.

However, Zheng Jianguo did not have any fear, because he knew that even if he failed, he still had countless chances of success behind him, and the seemingly quiet Activision game is what he left behind when he failed. layout.

Since he has already begun to plan for oil contracts, Zheng Jianguo, after thinking about this period of time, suddenly discovered that as the core technology of the future computer era, the importance of semiconductor technology to the computer age is just as important to the developed countries as oil at this time. Of course this It is about binding design and manufacturing.

However, this truth is not only known by Zheng Jianguo himself, but the whole world has a clear understanding, but in terms of his heat and attention at the moment, now that he encounters this will attract the attention of the FBI who has already been around. This is why he watched Fairchild Semiconductor completely cool off.

However, this is still Zheng Jianguo's previous plan. Now that PCs with 8088 processors are officially on the market, especially after the underage young hacker returned home, he corrected the original plan. .

In the United States of America in 1980, when parents faced the game consoles that their children gradually liked, they had already had the prejudice that Chinese parents faced when facing computer rooms 20 years later. No one had imagined waiting for these people to grow up playing games. When children become the main force in society, they will turn this type of entertainment that seems to be ineffective at this time into a new industry.

Now that the semiconductor is not accessible due to scruples, it does not prevent Zheng Jianguo from making a curve to save the country. Now we are planning to lay out the terminal for the player’s needs in advance, I am afraid that it will not let those who stare at him openly and secretly want to understand-play What future can the game play?

Considering that the window system has brought too much changes to the world, Zheng Jianguo had no way to intervene in the computer industry to seek upstream and downstream layout, so he could only choose to find a breakthrough point on game consoles, the 8088 of Blue Giant. The chip should be the control chip on the red and white machine, right?

The reason for the previous $99 is that Zheng Jianguo intends to apply the latest chips to game consoles. According to his knowledge, the home game console giant Atari console, which currently occupies two-fifths of the American market, uses it. The 6502 CPU was designed and launched 7 years ago.

This CPU chip sells for $25 each, while the 8080 of the same period sells for $35, so the former was used by Watts and Joe to assemble the Fruit 1 computer, and the assembled Fruit 1 sold for as much as $667.

Of course, such a high price directly caused the Qiao gang to sell a total of 25 units in ten months, although the auction price has soared to the million dollar level after decades.

Zheng Jianguo didn’t know much about games in his previous life, but because he had a son born in the 80s at home, the games he remembered were all too famous to be famous anymore. I won’t talk about tank battles and Contras. The Three Kingdoms series little devils can eat this classic masterpiece full of pots, and he still can't understand it now.

It’s just that at this moment because of his own strategic layout, Zheng Jianguo, after thinking about it for a few days, picked up the phone and called Bruno to Boston, so the shareholders of Activision Games who have been in partnership for a year are considered to be We met officially: "Bruno, we haven't seen each other for a long time, but it's the first time everyone else met—"

"Zheng, these are David, Larica, Alan and Bob. This is our partner, Zheng who invented the magic cube."

Compared to the last time I met, Bruno seems to be fatter again, and his skin is not as dark as the first time I met. Fortunately, although he has a sloppy temper, he still gives due to the largest shareholder of the company. Respect, it's just that after the introduction of the two sides, the temperament rekindled, watching the male and female diners in suits and shoes around them with a formal expression: "Zheng, we can come to your house to talk."

"Zheng is still a doctor—"

Bob said that he smiled at Zheng Jianguo. He can be responsible for administrative management in the company. His IQ and EQ are still above the standard line. He looked at Zheng Jianguo with a gentle smile and said, "I think Zheng is here to talk about company equity. Right?"

"Oh, Bob is right, but we can just order and eat and talk."

Zheng Jianguo only took a two-hour leave at noon. At this time, he watched the waiter who had been following him after the introduction of the two parties. After taking the menu, he took a look at it and said, "I have a treat today, you want to eat. Whatever order—"

"I want an Australian lobster—"

Before Zheng Jianguo finished speaking, David, who opened the menu, spoke with his messy yellow hair. The former also noticed that the waiter next to him was looking over, nodded and smiled: "No problem, I told you today. A treat, in order to celebrate, some of us finally met."

"Then I want an Australian lobster set meal."

The freckled Alan raised his hand and said, so the remaining Larica and Bob put down the menu in their hands and said with a smile: "Then we are all the same--"

"No problem, give them 3 catties each."

Zheng Jianguo turned his head and glanced at the waiter who looked at Fat Sheep, who blinked and said, "Sir, you--"

"Steak set meal——"

After reconfirming that the waiter nodded and left. Of course, Zheng Jianguo knew that the other party had glanced at the 18K gold watch on his wrist before he left. However, this is what he did, and he looked back at Bruno across the table from his feet. I found an item and project book in his purse, put it in front of a few people, and said: "This is what I thought after seeing this watch game console, you look at—"

"Oh, this is Nintendo’s GameWatch. It costs $34.9, but the game in it is just shit—"

Bruno picked up the things on the table, and Bob next to him opened his mouth and said, Alan and David both nodded without thinking: "Yes, the game inside, that is one Tuo shit."

"A lump of shit is good—"

Zheng Jianguo saw that Lalica touched the project book and opened it, and saw his eyes widened in an instant. He subconsciously raised his head to look at Zheng Jianguo, and said with surprise: "This is—"

"The appearance of the game console I designed was drawn by a decoration designer to help me draw it according to the actual proportions. You have to fill the circuit board, controller and buttons according to my requirements, and leave a AA battery at the back. Free to come—"

Considering that these five people are all programmers, Zheng Jianguo did not see these people outside. He was afraid that he would not understand what he said: "Of course, I will ask you to write them all in it. You can just read it now, because Next, I will talk about the issue of equity. I am going to invest the dividends in the first half of this year into the company, which is considered to be the start-up capital for this project. Do you follow the investment or change the equity according to the proportion of investment?"

"Well, the magic cubes sold well in the first half of this year. Bruno proposed to develop an arcade version. I am waiting for the money to buy a house—"

Alan didn’t hold back the curiosity in her heart. She stood up and looked at the project book behind Lalica. His eyes fell on it and couldn’t pull it out: “But your appearance is more attractive, and the operating buttons are not buttons. Instead, the cross arrow keys are used, which is beyond our imagination--"

"You can just look at this. This place is not a place to discuss projects. I decided to find you for this project because of our good cooperation in the past. You also know that I own the copyright of the magic cube and the design of this game console. If you want to find a foundry for OEM production, you only need to ask a few programmers to complete the design—"

Once again, for fear of the five programmers' misunderstanding, Zheng Jianguo was straightforward to say, and at the same time revealed that he is now going to push the project stubbornly.

Of course, the reason why Zheng Jianguo did this is because of his mentality that the project will be good or not. After all, take Atari, which now has one-third of the home game console industry, with annual sales of less than 500 million. The gross profit is less than 80 million-

If you really want to make this figure for making money, Zheng Jianguo only needs to close the current oil contract and find a bank to throw it in. With a base interest rate of up to 17% every year, it is almost twice the income of this profit, and it is Really pure profit.

In addition, all the five people on this table except Zheng Jianguo have a net worth of less than five million. So in terms of his style at this moment, it is similar to setting a small goal: "In addition, I have an idea that I need to discuss with you, that is, I am going to open a game-based magazine or newspaper. How do you feel?"

"Magazines and newspapers based on games, great!"

Bob stared at Zheng Jianguo in a daze. To be honest, he was a partner who didn't like this attitude. The aggressive taste in these words even made him a little offensive, but he just didn't wait for his thoughts to appear for too long. The appearance of dispelled all the dissatisfaction in his mind: "Can introduce some good games."

"No, I hope this magazine is a community of players, everyone can write to share their game experience and game experience, and each issue can pick out representative games for publication——"

He looked at Bob, who had the highest EQ among the five, with a look like a fool, but when Zheng Jianguo finished speaking, the five waiters next to him appeared in a line, each carrying Australian lobsters to the side. , So he changed his words later: "Let's talk while eating."
