Seeing Tang Huan with a displeased face, Hiroshi Yamauchi, who had passed the age of destiny, took the initiative to greet his relatives regardless of the age difference, and at the same time expressed his admiration for the brilliant achievements of the current Xiaobawang game console.

Mr. Yamauchi, why do you come to Tokyo from Kyoto when you have time? Tang Huan endured the goosebumps on his body and made excuses.

Deliberately to reminisce about the past, Miyamoto's works Donkey Kong and Mario are amazing. I didn't expect him to make such progress after leaving Nintendo for only a year or so. As an elder, I deeply appreciate it. I'm glad. Hiroshi Yamauchi replied with a sincere face.

Is it as simple as reminiscing about the old days? Tang Huan looked a little disbelieving,

Of course. Hiroshi Yamauchi replied without hesitation, then turned to Shigeru Miyamoto and said, Miyamoto, since Mr. Tang is here, you must have something to talk about, so I won't bother you anymore, let's have dinner together sometime .”

Shigeru Miyamoto agreed foolishly, without noticing the subtlety of the atmosphere.

Hiroshi Yamauchi patted Shigeru Miyamoto's shoulder with satisfaction, got up and said goodbye to Tang Huan, and after he left Taito's office building, waved to Tang Huan who had sent him out, he got into the car.

President, Miyamoto is a bit stubborn. We have come several times in a row, but there is no result. If we continue like this, it will embarrass everyone. Yokoi Junpei reminded.

Of course I know Miyamoto's temperament, but this kind of open and continuous visit is still essential. Yamauchi Hiroshi showed a proud look on his face. It's for Tang Huan to see. Miyamoto and I still maintain close contact.

Junpei Yokoi suddenly realized. His eyes lit up, The president wants Tang Huan to become suspicious and drive away their trust.

That's it. Hiroshi Yamauchi laughed, Since I can't dig Miyamoto away, let Tang Huan help and drive Miyamoto away.

President Gao Ming. Junping Yokoi complimented him sincerely.

However, we have to work harder on the research and development of home video game consoles. Hiroshi Yamauchi frowned, Is it really not feasible to imitate the Xiaobawang game console and launch a more optimized version?

Indeed. Junhei Yokoi nodded his head vigorously, President, as far as the product of the Xiaobawang game console itself is concerned,

Its current price does not leave us room for competition, and the superb level of circuit design and game programs is even more amazing. The 8-bit game console has been perfected by the Xiaobawang game console, and we cannot compete with it head-on in this circle. We can only find a way to start with the next generation, that is, 16-bit game consoles.

I didn't expect the threshold of the Xiaobawang game console to be so high. And our game\u0026 has only been on the market for more than five months, and it has been imitated by a lot of hateful guys. Hiroshi Yamauchi, who was in a bad mood, said depressedly He waved his hand, Go to Mitsubishi Electric to see if we can find a suitable implementation technology. After all, we have cooperated quite well on game consoles before.

...

Tang Huan returned to the office sullenly, took a few sips of tea, and then stared at Shigeru Miyamoto.

Mr. Tang, I will try my best to persuade Mr. Yamauchi and Mr. Yokoi to stop looking for me in vain. Shigeru Miyamoto, who seemed to feel something was wrong, said awkwardly.

Don't do it. Tang Huan grinned, and then couldn't hold it any longer, and laughed wildly, making Shigeru Miyamoto at a loss.

Tang Huan couldn't see through the machinations in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms that Hiroshi Yamauchi played. The reason why he cooperated was naturally to confuse the other party and counter it.

When Tang Huan took Shigeru Miyamoto away from Nintendo, he was just an ordinary young man. Now he returns to Japan with the titles of Donkey Kong and Mario game producers. The transformation is natural. It was Tang Huan's teaching that was working.

Tang Huan would not be able to use the Three Swordsmen and Four Great Generals gimmicks like Huang Yulang, relying on the master-apprentice system to control professionals, but Shigeru Miyamoto felt that he had grown rapidly, and he had already put Tang Huan and him together. The relationship between them is almost regarded as a master-student, which is much more profound than the so-called Shi Bo and Shi Nephew who are not expensive in Yamauchi.

In addition, how can the current Nintendo be compared with the world company ea? Tetris can be sold to the Soviet Union across the Cold War camp. Can other game companies do it? This fact is not generally convincing.

You know, in the original time and space, the reason why Apple was able to poach Sculley from Coca-Cola was not only because of Jobs' eloquence, but also because of the high-tech companies with a market value of billions of dollars and Fortune 500. The future personal career growth space is the most important determinant.

In front of EA, Nintendo is not strong enough, and the relationship is not deep enough, so why poach Shigeru Miyamoto.

And Tang Huan was just tired of Hiroshi Yamauchi, feeling too disappointed, but he was not too worried about the opponent's tricks.

You, your mind is too simple, and you don't have the slightest vigilance against people's ulterior motives and commercial deceit. Tang Huan stroked his head with his fingers, You never thought that Mr. Shanuchi came here so openly. The visit is to break my trust in you, so he can take the opportunity to poach someone?

No way. Shigeru Miyamoto scratched his head.

If you have time, you can taste it yourself. Tang Huan shook his head.

In the original time and space, in order to prevent being poached by peers, Nintendo only mentioned the pseudonyms of game developers, and the social status of game developers in this period was generally ignored. The engineer's control is in place.

The talented and loyal Shigeru Miyamoto was known to the public only because Nintendo had to launch it from the 1990s and make it a star out of the need to promote itself.

Looking at the confused Shigeru Miyamoto, Tang Huan thought about Nintendo's employment method carefully, and felt that he should learn from this competitor's strategy. Add another insurance to Shigeru Miyamoto.

But before that. Let's first look at the handheld game console that imitates the game\u0026. What is the end result.

Because there are ready-made electronic modules from the US headquarters that run Tetris, the project team led by Mito Matsushita has greatly shortened the development cycle, and Tang Huan can now play with the prototype.

This is the tragedy of Nintendo. The product technology threshold is too low, and followers can flock to borrow the idea of ​​the handheld, and it has nothing to say.

Optimize and test again. Let's put it into mass production, but not later than the end of October, because we have to catch up with the dex in November in the United States.

Matsushita Minato and Nakanishi Akio hurriedly nodded in agreement, Tang Huan suddenly smiled, and said in a low voice: Miyamoto is almost 30 years old, and should be married, is there any suitable girl in the company, introduce him? If not, hire them.

Nakanishi Akio is indeed very good at marketing, and now the scope of business management has expanded from game consoles to Fangyuan computers. A great stride has been made in his career. Even his old club Mikhail Cogan is happily running for Tang Huan. He was naturally more loyal.

Seeing that Tang Huan deliberately mentioned this trivial matter, Nakanishi Akio immediately understood the meaning, patted his chest, and assured him broadly, Don't worry, I will leave this matter to me.

How are the preparations for the distributor meeting going? Tang Huan nodded, before turning to business.

According to the order of magnitude of size, Singapore is one hundred, Xiangjiang is one thousand, Baodao and South Korea are ten thousand, and Japan is one hundred thousand.

Therefore, the sales of Fangyuan Computer in Japan cannot be a simple vertical model like Xiangjiang, and it has to go through the dealer network, and the personnel transferred from Baodao will provide technical support in all aspects.

It's ready. Akio Nakanishi smiled, They are looking forward to the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

I hope these people, in addition to expectations, can better understand the relationship between price and performance. Tang Huan smiled.

At this stage, it is commercial demand that can really provide development space for personal computers.

As a mid-to-high-end microcomputer, the second-generation Fangyuan computer naturally pays more attention to this point. That's also evident in the pricing, which starts at $4,000 for the base model, which is $500 more than the $3,500 Apple flopped in May.

Each company's products have their own positioning. For example, IBM lacks motivation for computer products under $20,000.

In the original time and space, the original ibm-price ranged from more than 1,600 US dollars to more than 6,000 US dollars, which was still expensive for the home market, but it was favored by the enterprise customer group unexpectedly.

Obviously, this is determined by objective reality, but IBM was lucky to hit this wave of market prices.

It can be seen that the price of the second-generation Fangyuan computer is appropriate, not to mention the three major commercial software it can use, and the compatibility with the first-generation Fangyuan computer, which can be said to be full of selling points.

In addition, the sales of electronic products mostly have a characteristic. With the optimization and maturity of the production process, the price will naturally go from high to low. The current pricing of the basic model of the second-generation Fangyuan computer is not static. Tang Huan will not be as rigid as IBM. Both the hardware and the software are our own. It is nothing more than adjusting the method of profit calculation so that the hardware earns less and the software earns more.

...

Tang Huan attaches great importance to Japan, currently the largest consumer market in Asia. In order to squeeze the living space of the -9800 that will be launched in the future, he instilled his views to the audience at the dealer conference, Turn on the personal charm halo effect to the strongest.

Because Tang Huan is proficient in Japanese, this made him communicate with the Japanese without any obstacles, and he was encouraged to blush, as if the dealers who had drunk had unlimited confidence in the market prospect of the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and Tang Huan discovered that at least one person who arrived not long ago was not fooled by him.

Tang Huan paid special attention to this guy. He was in his forties, dressed in formal attire like everyone else beside him, and there was nothing special about him except for his extremely serious expression. Proud and confident and condescending.

It seems familiar. After this thought flashed through Tang Huan's mind. I no longer think about it. Pointing to a huge eye-catching chart, he introduced the powerful 16-bit performance of the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

After Tang Huan finished his task, he went back to the office to rest, and was going to discuss with the Japan Industrial Specifications Association about the coding scheme of Zheru Chinese characters and the differences in standards.

At this time, the subordinate came in to report that someone was visiting and handed over a business card.

Vice President of Samsung C\u0026T, Lee Kun-hee. Tang Huan muttered, and at the same time, a flash of light flashed in his mind. Wasn't he the one who was not fooled by him in the audience just now?

Li Jianxi is the third son of Li Bingzhe, the founder of the Samsung Group. He was sent to Tokyo to receive Japanese education at the age of 13. Now he has grown into a talent for more than ten years. He holds an important position in the family business and can be regarded as a high position. How did he get there? Japan here?

But this accident seems to be traceable, you know, in the original time and space. In a few years, Samsung Electronics will fully enter the semiconductor industry.

And back in 1974. At that time, Li Jianxi, who was the director of Dongyang TV, a TV station under Samsung, acquired Korean semiconductor invested by the United States and made it the predecessor of Samsung's semiconductor department.

Interesting, is it possible that Li Jianxi is interested in Yuan Computer? While Tang Huan was thinking, he came out to meet the prince of the Samsung Group.

After a few simple greetings, Li Jianxi said bluntly: Mr. Tang, I have personally used Fangyuan Computer and am very interested in it. I want to introduce this product to Korea. What do you think?

Mr. Li is so flattering, so he has already disassembled the Fangyuan computer and studied it. Li Jianxi was always so serious, and Tang Huan was not used to it, so he joked about the other party's hobby of dismantling technology products.

Li Jianxi, who once published the Genius Theory in his previous life, is of course of extraordinary aptitude. He also realized that the atmosphere of the meeting seemed a little stiff, so he nodded with a smile, Mr. Tang guessed right, this is my Fang Yuan computer. The reason for my great interest is that I hope to introduce the authorization of Fangyuan Computer and build a factory in South Korea for production.”

In the original time and space, the reason why Samsung Electronics was able to rise rapidly in the IT industry was closely related to Li Kunxi's business strategy.

For the new field that has just entered, Samsung Electronics does not start everything from scratch by itself, but buys patents generously regardless of temporary gains and losses, and quickly digests them into its own things, that is, uses funds to make up for its weak technical foundation and late start. disadvantage.

Moreover, Lee Kun-hee's sense of crisis and change has also greatly benefited the development of Samsung Electronics.

In the original time and space, Li Jianxi once said a very famous saying, Everything will change except his wife and children. The enterprising spirit he displayed can only be described as sturdy.

Tang Huan, of course, welcomed Li Jianxi, a capable faction who came to seek cooperation actively. As for the possible conflict of interests between the two parties, at least it would not have happened in the 1980s.

On the contrary, if Fangyuan Computer enters South Korea through Samsung, the result that Tang Huan can think of is that the standards of personal computer hardware and software will be the same in the Asian Confucian cultural circle. Hope to see it.

Mr. Li, how much do you know about Yuanyuan Computer and the system it relies on? Tang Huan raised his hand and drew a circle in the air.

From Tang Huan's words, Li Jianxi heard that he was looking for the cornerstone of cooperation between the two parties, so he answered openly, Fangyuan Computer was brought to Korea by a businessman from Japan. I only recently started contacting it. In addition, I have also heard a little about your company's bulk purchase of storage devices not long ago.

Speaking of this, Li Jianxi shook his head regretfully, Unfortunately, Samsung's semiconductor department is still unable to participate.

The production technology of the first-generation Fangyuan computer has matured, so only this series is open for authorization, and this product still performs well in word processing. Tang Huan truthfully stated the cooperation content that his side can provide.

Yes, I originally wanted to start simple. Li Jianxi nodded in agreement.

Also... Tang Huan pondered for a while, If Mr. Li is very interested in the computer industry, I would like to invite you to take time to visit the headquarters in the United States.

It's a deal. Li Jianxi readily agreed, with a rare natural smile on his face.

With this big framework, the direction of the conversation between the two will be much clearer.

After sending Li Jianxi away, Tang Huan shook his head playfully and smiled. He was really sleepy. Someone brought a pillow. With the special status of Samsung Group in South Korea, the popularity of Fangyuan computers can be imagined. He only needs to rely on the three major commercial software Just make a profit.

As for the error-ridden coding standard in South Korea, it is estimated that it will be replaced by the solution carried by Fangyuan Computer soon.

...

Compared with the standard promotion in other regions, the economically developed Japan has established its relatively mature character encoding scheme early. In the original time and space, China and South Korea have used it for reference, so Tang Huan dealt with the Japan Industrial Specifications Association Sometimes, it's really troublesome.

On the surface, he made it clear that Fangyuan Computer will follow the Japanese standard, but it will take a process, but a temporary solution can be provided by designing a conversion program first, that is, by exchanging codes.

In addition, Tang Huan requested that the revision of the new version of the standard should be carried out as soon as possible. After all, the more the existing errors are delayed, the more troubles will be caused.

In short, Tang Huan's attitude towards solving the problem was very good, but he tried his best to delay it.

His idea is very simple. After choosing the authorized manufacturer of Fangyuan Computer, its market share will definitely increase further. At that time, it is self-evident whether the industry standard or the official standard is strong or weak.

And the first big unification in the IT field that I created has also fully formed.
