Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

Chapter 182 Coin-Operated Game Machine

The semiconductor industry is a double-intensive industry that is both technology-intensive and capital-intensive.

This industry requires large investment but has slow returns. It will be difficult for it to compete with other countries by relying solely on the country's long-term investment.

However, due to China's current weak naval strength, China is unable to export finished computers through maritime trade. Therefore, China's computer industry is temporarily unable to find social funds to help the development of the industry.

Chang Zhengyang was helpless about this situation. He couldn't license the entire set of technology to Japan, or collect patent fees from the United States. To do so would be like making wedding clothes for others.

Japan and the United States are now on the eve of an explosive period in the semiconductor industry, and Tamron Computer's overall technological level is about fifteen years ahead of this era.

Chang Zhengyang must be out of his mind to license Tamron Computer's patent to other countries.

Just when he was worried about this, he heard that the investigators in the bureau were not doing their jobs and were queuing up to play games all day long, which gave him an inspiration.

Yes, Tamron Computer cannot license patents, but it can make a coin-operated game console!

Chang Zhengyang thought about the time when he was in middle school in his previous life. As soon as school was over, he would run to the game hall with his friends to buy game coins and play games.

Things like King of Fighters, Metal Slug, and Thunderfighter suddenly appeared in his mind.

At that time, his family's factory had not yet been demolished. Although the family had a good income, his parents did not give him that much pocket money.

Fortunately, he is quite good at playing games. Liu Zeng can play for an entire afternoon with three game coins. Sometimes, when he is in good shape, he can play for an entire afternoon with just one game coin.

For a game console, Hepburn doesn't need such an advanced processor as 669. He can simply reduce the performance of this processor by % and use it as the processor for the game console.

Moreover, game consoles require very few accessories. Except for the processor, other accessories have no technical content at all, so he only needs to export the motherboard with the game packaged in it.

So Zhengyang often let go of those guys who were obsessed with minesweeping all day long and pretended not to see their absenteeism.

Besides, the work of an investigator is very boring and dangerous. Chang Zhengyang is happy to see that they can relieve stress by playing games.

Chang Zhengyang found the Institute of Computer Science again. At first, the other party didn't understand why he wanted to develop a castrated version of the processor, namely the 682 processor.

It was not until they started playing games like Pinball Man and Thunder Fighter that the male researchers at the Institute of Computer Science collectively became internet addicts.

In May 1968, a new store quietly opened on the streets of Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. At first, everyone thought it was a store selling televisions, but when they looked up, they saw the sign.

Take off the game room?

What kind of plane are you doing?

What exactly does your store do?

The gangsters from Causeway Bay became the first customers of this store.

Of course, these gangsters didn’t come for protection money. They came to this store just because they were bored and curious.

As for why the protection fee was confiscated, it was not because they had learned well, but because the store’s sign had the logo of the Xinyi Group.

In Hong Kong, and even in the whole of Southeast Asia, no one dares to mess with any business under the New Yick Group, because all those who do not believe in evil have disappeared.

Now that the Xinyi Group has opened such a strange store, those idle gangsters will of course come over to find out what it is.

Then, in just one month, Tengfei Game Hall expanded rapidly throughout Nanyang, and long queues of young people lined up every day waiting to play games.

Coin-operated arcades suddenly became the hottest topic in Nanyang this summer. People marveled at the advancement of technology and speculated how much money a game hall could make in a day.

Anyway, in mid-June, the profits that Xinyi Group submitted from its Tengfei Games business directly shocked the leaders of the Academy of Sciences.

A full 20 million US dollars!

The funding that the country allocates to the Academy of Sciences in a year is not even this much!

And this is only the profit sharing for one month. The profit sharing for a single month is so high when Tengfei Games' business has not yet expanded to its limit. If they continue to expand in the future, won't they have endless funds?

Chang Zhengyang said that this is just the beginning. The market in Southeast Asia is still small. If it includes Japan, the United States, and Europe, it is estimated that it will cost two or three hundred million US dollars a month.

But this is only temporary and can only be earned for about three years at most.

Because others will definitely disassemble the motherboard of the Tengfei game console, figure out the principles behind it, and then copy their products by imitating them.

Therefore, in order to delay the occurrence of this situation as soon as possible, Chang Zhengyang's next step is to provide a complete machine solution and then package the game motherboard.

A number of assembly plants have been developed in Japan, America and Europe.

He wants to delay the development of the semiconductor industry in Japan and the United States as much as possible through commercial means such as dumping motherboards.

The top management was also very excited when they learned about the profit sharing of 20 million US dollars. At the same time, everyone also thoroughly understood what the high-tech industry is and that it is indeed very profitable.

In order to develop, we must focus on developing high-tech industries such as semiconductors and computers that can be used for both military and civilian purposes.

"It's time to eat. I'm Shu Dao Shan. One, two..."

Nanluoguxiang, Courtyard 76, Shen Qianwen's calm voice reached the study. Chang Yingya and Chang Hongwei, who were concentrating on playing the Marble Superman game, could not help but shudder. They quickly jumped off the stools and ran to the kitchen as fast as they could.

At the dinner table, the brother and sister sat down obediently. Shen Qianwen served them food in a bad mood and said to Chang Zhengyang who was reading a newspaper at the side: "Ever since you brought back the game console, they have lost their souls. I think this video game is spiritual opium. You are committing a sin. I don't know how many children will be ruined by this video game in the future."

"It's okay, you're just worrying too much and worrying too much!"

Chang Zhengyang folded the newspaper and put it aside, appearing calm about his wife's concerns.

When it comes to playing games, smart children take the initiative to explore the rules of the game, master the rules of the game, and even find loopholes in the rules.

Therefore, after entering the society, they will quickly integrate into it and thrive in the real game of society.

Because in the process of playing games, they learn how to develop, adapt and utilize the thinking logic of rules.

As for those parents who complain that their children's academic performance has been hindered by video games.

Frankly speaking, if a child has poor abilities, then that’s it. Don’t put all the blame on video games.

To sum it up in one sentence, the top students are playing games, and the poor students are being played by the games, that’s all!
