Chapter 559 [3 Top Games, Kicking Off the Arcade Era! 】
Seattle, Boeing headquarters, airstrip.
Chris held Wu Guangyao's arm tightly, and it could be seen that there was still a bit of excitement on his face;
And Wu Guangyao's face was filled with excitement!
It turns out that today is Wu Guangyao's private jet delivery ceremony;
And the 'big fat man' in front of everyone is Wu Guangyao's private jet.
"Mr. Wu, everything is ready and we are waiting for you to board your private jet!" Boeing President Ryan said happily.
As the world's richest man purchases Boeing 747 as a private jet, Ryan believes that more and more wealthy people will consult with Boeing in the future;
This is the so-called rich man effect!
Wu Guangyao withdrew his gaze, first patted Chris's hand, then pulled out his arm and put it around Chris' waist;
"Okay, Mr. Ryan, let's witness Boeing's masterpiece together!" After Wu Guangyao finished speaking, he and Chris boarded the private jet first.
Wu Guangyao's personal stewardess and pilot had already come to Boeing for training in advance;
The stewardess standing at the door to welcome Wu Guangyao was Zhang Xiaoxia and Zhao Ya's party;
However, the previous six stewardesses have now increased to ten stewardesses.
The three drivers were also standing at the door. Wu Guangyao took the initiative to talk to the three of them. After all, his safety was in the hands of these three.
The general layout of the first floor is leisure room, meeting room, restaurant, passenger room (24 seats), VIP room (12 seats), and some small function rooms;
Through a spiral staircase, you come to the second floor.
The entire second floor belongs to Wu Guangyao's private space. There is a master bedroom and an auxiliary bedroom, as well as a study room, entertainment room, 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 an area of 2,800 square feet for the entire plane. I believe this is your sky palace!"
"Well, Mr. Lane, I am very satisfied with this masterpiece of Boeing!"
very satisfied indeed,
At this moment, Wu Guangyao was like a big boy who found a new toy, and he was in a very good mood!
After more than an hour of handover, Wu Guangyao and Chris will fly to Los Angeles in a private jet;
With a private jet, Wu Guangyao can be in California in the western part of the United States 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 got entangled;
"Honey, I'm pregnant again!" Chris said out of breath, the French kiss made Chris' face rosy and his eyes blurred.
Wu Guangyao was not surprised when he heard this. Based on years of experience, his hit rate is very high!
As long as you shoot the target deliberately, you are basically above the level of the eight rings;
Because of this, when you shoot a target with Zhao Yazhi, you must not aim at the end!
"It's okay, then I'll take it easy!" Wu Guangyao tried his best to be gentle. Although European and American women have good physiques, their own conditions are also good.
Chris rolled Wu Guangyao's eyes, his eyes were full of distrust, as if thinking of something, Chris rolled his eyes;
"I don't mind if you invite them together!"
Although moved, Wu Guangyao pretended without hesitation, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, it would be embarrassing for them to hear that, we have nothing to do with it!"
Wu Guangyao is at the golden age of a man, and it is naturally difficult to control some "crowds" with ulterior motives;
When Zhang Xiaoxia took Wu Guangyao to relax her vigilance last time, Wu Guangyao was surrounded;
Afterwards, Wu Guangyao couldn't help sighing: "There are bad people among the crowd!"
Seeing that he was so 'fishing', Chris was disappointed that Wu Guangyao didn't even fall for it!
With the energy of his lover, Chris believes that there are definitely stewardesses on the plane who have been taken care of!
After all, Wu Guangyao's seven women are aging one after another, but Wu Guangyao himself is still alive and well, even better than before!
"No invitation, I plan to serve you with them!" Chris continued to tease.
Wu Guangyao said seriously: "When did I ever act like this? Ask your sisters, I have done such ridiculous things; apart from the seven of you, I don't have any other women."
Although he still didn't believe it, Chris knew that it was time to stop!
"Well, I believe you!"
.........
Silicon Valley, Lenovo Group Industrial Park.
Wu Guangyao was playing an arcade machine, and saw that the screen was the famous "Tetris" in the previous life, and this life was named "Hong Kong Tetris" by Wu Guangyao.
As for others asking why it is called "Hong Kong Cube", the answer given by Sony is that this game comes from the idea of a Hong Kong person, and Sony just purchased the copyright of the game and used it in video games.
"It's very fun! I believe the monthly sales of this kind of arcade machine can reach about 50,000 units!" Wu Guangyao said while playing.
At this time, 80% of the arcade machines on the market were produced by Sony;
At present, the monthly arcade market in the world is about 40,000 units, which is less than 500,000 units a year;
According to the price of 1,500 US dollars each, the annual turnover of the arcade market is less than 800 million US dollars, far from exploding!
The reason why there is no outbreak is very simple. At present, video games are still limited to marbles (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 life, Sony wants to detonate the arcade market four years in advance, because this "Hong Kong Cube" has a good prospect. It is estimated that the sales volume will reach 500,000 units a year. With this arcade machine alone, Sony can generate 800 million US dollars in revenue.
"I agree with the president's point of view. 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 and let him accompany him when he inspects the company!
Wu Guangyao ended the game without waiting for the game to die;
Chris, who was behind him, couldn't bear it any longer, and replaced Wu Guangyao's position.
However, as a novice, Chris persisted for only two minutes before game over!
Wu Guangyao dragged Chris, who was still full of ideas, and Akio Morita and other executives to the conference room!
At this time, Sony's video game headquarters has been transferred from Japan to Silicon Valley, and of course Japan still maintains a strong research and development capability;
The two sides carry out research and development at the same time and communicate regularly, which is equivalent to internal competition and cooperation.
The U.S. video game headquarters mainly develops processors for video games, while the Japanese R&D center mainly develops storage devices and game software; although both places are conducting all-round research and development, there must be a focus.
Regarding the video game industry, Wu Guangyao is only worried about hardware issues, so he has invested a lot in this area;
As for software issues, it basically accounts for less than 15% of the total investment;
This is because Wu Guangyao is well-versed in classic video games, as long as he tells the R&D staff the outline, it will be released soon if the hardware can keep up.
Wu Guangyao first said: "Mr. Bushnell, what is the progress of the second-generation game console project?"
Bushnell, the founder of Atari in his previous life, has now become a laborer and is the project leader of Sony's video game console.
In early 1972, Sony launched the first generation of electronic game consoles (TV game consoles), and then moved marble games, ball games, and shooting games to the game consoles;
However, to say that the first generation of video game consoles are crude products is definitely not to belittle it, but a fact!
Of course, although crude, at least it also led the development of video games, and sold millions of units ($128 each) every year.
After the successful development of the first generation of video game consoles, Wu Guangyao immediately asked Sony to prepare to invest a huge sum of 100 million US dollars in the development of the second generation of video game consoles.
Bushnell said excitedly: "It is estimated that the public beta will be available in the first half of next year!"
Wu Guangyao said in disbelief, "So fast?"
You must know that Wu Guangyao has high expectations for Sony's second-generation game consoles. 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 has strong R&D personnel, and has received technical support from semiconductor companies such as Intel and Fairchild, and the R&D speed is very fast."
At the beginning, Wu Guangyao visited Intel and Fairchild in order to obtain technical support from the two companies.
Wu Guangyao immediately decided to hand over the outlines of the three games "Pac-Man", "Space Invaders" and "Galaxy Warrior" 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 arcade machines of these three games sold very high in the previous life;
In particular, "Space Invaders" sold 1.5 million units a year, with sales reaching 1.8 billion US dollars.
As for the third-generation game console, Wu Guangyao intends to carry out R&D layout according to the concept of the previous red and white machine.
In fact, the second-generation Sony game console has already used a read-only memory cartridge, which is the so-called separation of the game cartridge and the console.
The same is true for the second-generation Atari 2600 mainframe in the previous life, which is probably close to the technology of the red and white machine;
However, after all, it is only close. The Famicom is known as a revolution in hardware technology, and every hardware technology is in a perfect state;
The reason why the red and white machine is successful is that when all video game manufacturers are developing software, Nintendo is still developing hardware technology.
When Wu Guangyao handed over the outlines of the video games "Pac-Man", "Space Invaders" and "Metroid" to the person in charge of Sony's video games, the software engineer from Japan was amazed!
The two games "Space Invaders" and "Galaxy Warrior" also need a pusher, which will be more perfect!
This booster is Universal Pictures' upcoming "Star Wars"!
In the previous life, it was precisely because of the popularity of the "Star Wars" movie that game companies launched classic games such as "Space Invaders" and "Galaxy Warrior".
