Chapter 561 [Three top games, opening the era of full-scale arcade explosions! 】
Seattle, Boeing headquarters, airstrip.
Chris held Wu Guangyao's arm tightly, and he could see that there was some excitement on his face;
And Wu Guangyao's face is also filled with excitement!
It turned out that today is Wu Guangyao’s private jet delivery ceremony;
The ‘big fat guy’ in front of everyone is Wu Guangyao’s private jet.
"Mr. Wu, everything is ready, just waiting for you to board your private jet!" Boeing President Rennes said happily.
As the world’s richest man purchases a Boeing 747 as a private jet, Rennes believes that there will be more and more wealthy people who will consult with Boeing in the future;
This is the so-called rich man effect!
Wu Guangyao retracted his gaze, first patted Chris’ jade hand, then pulled out his arm, and put his arm around Chris’ waist;
"Okay, Mr. Lane, let's go to witness Boeing's masterpiece!" After Wu Guangyao finished speaking, he and Chris were the first to board the private jet.
Wu Guangyao’s personal stewardess and pilot have already come to Boeing for training in advance;
The stewardess standing at the door welcoming Wu Guangyao is one of Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhao Ya;
However, the previous six flight attendants have now increased to ten flight attendants.
The three drivers also stood at the door. Wu Guangyao took the initiative to talk to the three of them. After all, his safety is in the hands of these three.
The general layout of the first floor is in order of leisure room, meeting room, restaurant, passenger room (24 seats), VIP room (12 seats), and some small function rooms;
Through a spiral staircase, you came to the second floor.
The entire second floor belongs to Wu Guangyao’s private space. There is a master bedroom and a second bedroom, as well as a study room, a recreation room, a fitness room, and a luxurious dining room that can accommodate ten people.
The decoration of the entire aircraft is very luxurious and breathtaking!
"Mr. Wu, we have used the area of 2,800 square feet for the entire aircraft. I believe this is your palace in the sky!"
"Well, Mr. Lane, I am very satisfied with this masterpiece of Boeing!"
I am really satisfied. Wu Guangyao is like a big boy who has found a new toy at this time. He is in a very good mood!
After more than an hour of handover, Wu Guangyao and Chris will take a private jet and fly to Los Angeles;
After having a private jet, Wu Guangyao can be in Western California in the morning and return to New York in the eastern part of the United States in the afternoon, which is quite convenient.
After the plane took off, Wu Guangyao and Chris became entangled together;
"My dear, I'm pregnant again!" Chris said out of breath. The French kisses made Chris look ruddy and his eyes blurred.
Wu Guangyao was not surprised after hearing this. Based on years of experience, his hit rate is very high!
As long as you deliberately shoot, you are basically above the eight-ring level;
Because of this, when shooting with Zhao Yazhi, you must not be able to aim at the end!
"It's okay, then I'll be gentle!" Wu Guangyao tried to be gentle. Although European and American women have good physique, their own conditions are also good.
Chris gave Wu Guangyao a blank look, his eyes were full of distrust, as if thinking of something, Chris rolled his eyes;
"Would you like to invite them together, I don't mind!"
Although he was moved, Wu Guangyao did not hesitate to pretend, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, they should be embarrassed to hear it, we didn't have anything!"
Wu Guangyao is a man’s golden age, facing some ulterior ‘masses’, it is naturally difficult to control;
The last time Zhang Xiaoxia took Wu Guangyao to relax her vigilance, Wu Guangyao was surrounded;
Afterwards, Wu Guangyao couldn’t help but sigh: “There are bad guys in the crowd!”
Chris saw that he was ‘fishing’ like this, Wu Guangyao was not fooled, he was immediately disappointed!
With the energy of his lover, Chris believes that there is definitely a stewardess on the plane who has been taken care of!
After all, Wu Guangyao’s seven women have been aging one after another, but Wu Guangyao himself is still alive and well, even better than before!
"Really not invited, but I intend to serve you with them!" Chris continued to tease.
Wu Guangyao sternly said: "When have I been in such a mess? Ask your sisters, I have done such ridiculous things; except for the seven of you, I don’t have any other women."
Although he still doesn’t believe it, Chris also knows that it’s over!
"Well, I believe in you!"
Silicon Valley, Lenovo Group Industrial Park.
Wu Guangyao was playing an arcade machine, and saw the famous "Tetris" from the past life on the screen, and this life was named "Hong Kong Cube" by Wu Guangyao.
As for people asking why it is called ‘Hong Kong Cube’, Sony’s answer is that this game comes from a Hong Kong person’s creativity, and Sony just bought the game copyright and used it in video games.
"It's fun! I believe that the monthly sales of this arcade machine can reach about 50,000 units!" Wu Guangyao said while playing.
At this time, 80% of the arcade machines on the market are produced by Sony;
At present, the monthly arcade market in the world is about 40,000 units, and less than 500,000 units a year;
According to the price of US$1,500 per unit, the annual turnover of the arcade market is less than US$800 million, far from breaking out!
The reason why there is no outbreak is simple. At present, video games are still in pinball (ball) games, and a small number of shooting games (very rough), so naturally there is no outbreak.
According to history, the arcade explosion started in 1978!
In this world, Sony will detonate the arcade market four years ahead of schedule, because this "Hong Kong Cube" has a good prospect, and it is expected to sell 500,000 units a year. With this kind of arcade alone, Sony can generate 800 million US dollars in revenue.
"I agree with the chairman. Compared with the games currently on the market, this game is more playable and more fascinating!" Akio Morita's voice came from behind.
Although Akio Morita is the president of Lenovo Group, Wu Guangyao will naturally notify him in advance when he inspects the company and let him accompany him!
Wu Guangyao ended the game without waiting for his death;
Chris behind has long been unable to bear it and replaced Wu Guangyao.
However, as a novice, Chris persisted for only two minutes, and it was gameover!
Wu Guangyao pulled Chris, who was still interested, and senior executives such as Akio Morita came to the meeting room!
At this time, Sony’s video game headquarters has moved from Japan to Silicon Valley. Of course, Japan still maintains a strong R&D capability;
Both sides conduct research and development at the same time and communicate regularly, which is equivalent to internal competition and cooperation.
The US video game headquarters mainly develops processors for video games, while the Japanese R&D center mainly develops memory and game software; although both locations are conducting comprehensive research and development, it is necessary to establish a focus.
Regarding the video game industry, Wu Guangyao only worries about hardware issues, so he invests heavily in this area;
As for software issues, they basically account for less than 15% of the total investment;
This is because of the classic video game, Wu Guangyao is clear. As long as the outline is told to the R&D staff, if the hardware can keep up, it will be released soon.
Wu Guangyao first said: "Mr. Bushnell, how is the progress of the second-generation console project?"
Bushnell, the former founder of Atari, has now become a hitman, and is the project leader of Sony’s video game console.
At the beginning of 1972, Sony launched the first generation of electronic game consoles (TV game consoles), and later introduced pinball games, ball games, and shooting games onto game consoles;
However, to say that the first-generation video game console is a crude product is definitely not to belittle it, but a fact!
Of course, although rough, it has at least led the development of video games, and can sell millions of units each year ($128 each).
After the successful development of the first-generation electronic game console, Wu Guangyao immediately asked Sony to prepare to invest 100 million US dollars in successively to develop the second-generation electronic game console.
Bushnell excitedly said: "It is expected that the public beta will be available in the first half of next year!"
Wu Guangyao said in disbelief: "So fast?"
You should know that Wu Guangyao has high expectations for Sony’s second-generation game console. This generation of game consoles only needs to meet the running of classic games such as Pac-Man, Space Invaders, and Metroid.
Bushnell nodded, and said: “Sony’s strong R&D personnel and technical support from semiconductor companies such as Intel and Fairchild have made R&D very fast.”
At the beginning, Wu Guangyao visited Intel and Fairchild to get technical support from the two companies.
Wu Guangyao immediately decided to hand over the outlines of the three games "Pac-Man", "Space Invaders" and "Metroid" to Akio Morita.
As long as these three games can run, it means that Sony’s second-generation game console is very successful!
The most important thing is that the arcades of these three games had very high sales in the previous life;
Especially "Space Invaders", which sells 1.5 million units a year, with sales reaching 1.8 billion U.S. dollars.
As for the third-generation game console, Wu Guangyao intends to carry out R&D layout in accordance with the concept of previous red and white consoles.
In fact, the second-generation Sony game consoles have already used read-only memory cartridges, which is the so-called separation of game cartridges and consoles.
The second-generation Atari 2600 host in the previous life is the same, and it is probably close to the technology of the red and white machine;
But, after all, it's just close. Red and white phones are known as technological revolutions, and every hardware technology is in a perfect state;
The success of the red and white machine is that while all video game manufacturers are developing software, Nintendo is still developing hardware technology.
When Wu Guangyao handed over the outline of the video games "Pac-Man", "Space Invaders" and "Metro Warrior" to the head of Sony Video Games, the software engineer from Japan was amazed!
The two games of "Space Invaders" and "Metroid" also need a pusher, which will be even more perfect!
This pusher is the "Star Wars" that Universal Pictures will shoot soon!
Previous life It is precisely because of the popularity of "Star Wars" movies that game companies have launched classic games such as "Space Invaders" and "Metro Warrior" one after another.
