Seeing Tang Huan with an unhappy face, and Hiroshi Yamauchi, who had passed his fate, regardless of the age difference, he took the initiative to greet the cold and warmth, and at the same time expressed his admiration for the brilliant performance of the current Xiaobawang game console.

"Mr. Yamauchi, how come to Tokyo from Kyoto in free time?" Tang Huan endured the goose bumps on his body and tried to blame the snake.

"For the sake of the old, Miyamoto's works "Donkey Kong" and "Mario" are amazing. I didn't expect him to leave Nintendo for only a year or so, and he would make such progress. As an elder, I am deeply impressed. I'm so pleased." Yamauchi answered sincerely with a full face.

"Is it as simple as retelling the past?" Tang Huan looked a little unbelieving.

"Of course." Yamauchi answered without hesitation, then turned his head and said to Miyamoto Shigeru: "Miyamoto, since Mr. Tang is here, you must have business affairs to talk about. I won't bother you anymore and find time to have dinner together. ."

Shigeru Miyamoto silly agreed, unaware of the subtlety of the atmosphere.

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

"President, this person Miyamoto is a little bit hard-hearted. We came several times in a row, but there was no result. If we continue to consume it like this, it will make everyone very embarrassed." Yokoi Junping reminded.

"I naturally know Miyamoto's temperament, but this kind of honest and continuous visits is still essential." Hiroshi Yamauchi showed a triumphant look on his face. "It's for Tang Huan to see. Miyamoto and I still maintain close contact."

Yokoi Junpei suddenly realized. The eyes lit up, "The president wants Tang Huan to feel jealous and divorce their trust."

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

"The president is brilliant." Yokoi Jun complimented him convincingly.

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

"That's true." Yokoi Junpei nodded in affirmation, "President, only as far as the Cassidy game console itself is concerned, its current price does not really leave us room for competition, and circuit design and games The superb level of the program is even more amazing. The 8-bit game console has been achieved by the Xiaobawang game console to the extreme. We cannot compete head-on with it in this circle. We can only find a way to the next generation, that is, the 16-bit game. On the machine side."

"Unexpectedly, the threshold of the Xiaobawang game console is so high. And our game& has only been on the market for more than five months, and it has been imitated by a large group of nasty guys." Hiroshi Yamauchi, whose mood quickly turned down, depressed. He waved his hand, "Go to Mitsubishi Electric to see if you can find a suitable implementation technology. After all, we worked pretty well on game consoles before."

...

Tang Huan returned to the office with a sullen face, 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 wrong, said uneasily.

"Don't." Tang Huan grinned, and then couldn't help it anymore, laughing wildly, making Miyamoto at a loss.

How could Tang Huan fail to see through the tactics in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms played by Yamauchi Bo, the reason for cooperating is naturally to confuse the other party and counteract it.

When Tang Huan took away Miyamoto from Nintendo, he was just an ordinary young man. Now he returns to Japan with the title of "Donkey Kong" and "Mario" as the producer of the two games. The transformation of it is natural. It is Tang Huan's teaching that is at work.

Tang Huan is not going to engage in the gimmick of "three swordsmen" and "four generals" like Huang Yulang did, relying on the mentoring system to control professional talents, but Shigeru Miyamoto, feeling his rapid growth, has already put Tang Huan and him The relationship between them is almost as mentor and apprentice, which has much more foundation than the so-called "se uncle" and "nephew" of Yamauchi Hiroe, who is not expensive.

In addition, how does the current Nintendo compare with the world company ea, "Tetris" can be sold across the Cold War camp to the Soviet Union, 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 dig Scully from Coca-Cola was not only relying on Jobs’s tongue, a high-tech company with a market value of several billion US dollars and a Fortune 500. The coming personal career growth space is the most important determinant.

In front of ea, Nintendo was not strong enough, and his feelings were not deep enough, so why did he poach Shigeru Miyamoto.

However, Tang Huan was just tired and crooked by Yamauchi Hiroshi, feeling too disappointed, but he did not worry too much about the other party's tricks.

"You, your mind is too simple, and you don't have the slightest sense of vigilance about people's unpredictability and commercial deceit." Tang Huan gestured his head with his fingers, "You never thought, Mr. Yamauchi came so upright. The purpose of the visit is to divorce my trust in you. Does he take the opportunity to dig people?"

"No way." Shigeru Miyamoto scratched his head.

"You have kung fu, go with your own taste." Tang Huan shook his head.

In the original time and space, in order to prevent being poached by its peers, Nintendo only mentioned the pseudonyms of game developers, and the social status of game developers during this period was generally ignored. Apart from being taken advantage of by Sega, it basically took the hand. The engineers are very well controlled.

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

Looking at Shigeru Miyamoto who was confused, Tang Huan carefully pondered Nintendo's employment methods, and felt that he should learn from this competitor's strategy. Give Miyamoto another insurance.

But before that. Let’s take a look at a handheld game console that imitates game&. What is the final result.

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

This is Nintendo's sorrow. The product technology threshold is too low, and followers can rush to learn from the idea of ​​handhelds. There is nothing to say.

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

Mito Matsushita and Akio Nakanishi who rushed over quickly nodded their heads and agreed. Tang Huan suddenly smiled and said in a low voice: "Miyamoto is almost 30 years old and should be married. Is there a suitable girl in the company to introduce him? If not, then recruit."

Akio Nakanishi is indeed very skilled in marketing, and now the scope of business executives has expanded from game consoles to Fangyuan computers. There was a big step in his career. Even the old club Mikhail Cogan was running for Tang Huan before and after. He is naturally more loyal.

Seeing that Tang Huan specifically talked about this trivial matter, Akio Nakanishi immediately understood the meaning, patted his chest, and promised in a big way, "Don't worry, this matter is left to me."

"How are the preparations for the dealer meeting?" Tang Huan nodded, and then started talking about business.

In terms of the order of magnitude of area, Singapore is 100, Hong Kong is 1,000, Baodao and South Korea are 10,000, and Japan is 100,000.

Therefore, the sales of Fangyuan Computer in Japan cannot be as simple as a vertical model like Xiangjiang. It has to take the road of a dealer network, and the personnel transferred from Baodao provide all-round technical support for it.

"It's ready." Akio Nakanishi showed a smile on his face, "They are looking forward to the second-generation Fangyuan computer."

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

At this stage, it is business needs 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. This can also be seen from the pricing. The basic model starts at US$4,000, which is more than US$500 more expensive than the US$3,500 failed product released by Apple in May.

Each company's product has its 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 $1600 to more than $6,000, which was still expensive for the home market, but it was unexpectedly favored by corporate customers.

Obviously, this is determined by objective reality, but ibm is lucky enough to hit this wave of market.

It can be seen that the pricing of the second-generation Fangyuan computer is appropriate, not to mention the three major commercial software it can use, as well as the compatibility with the first-generation Fangyuan computer, which can be described as a selling point.

In addition, most of the sales of electronic products have a characteristic. With the optimization and maturity of the production process, the price will naturally go from high to low. At present, the pricing of the basic model of the second-generation Fangyuan computer is not static. Tang Huan will not be as rigid as ibm. The hardware and software are their own. It is nothing more than adjusting the profit calculation method to make the hardware earn less and the software earn more.

...

Regarding Japan, the largest consumer market in Asia, Tang Huan attaches great importance to it. In order to squeeze the living space of the -9800 to be launched in the future, he spit out his views in the audience at the dealer conference. The personal charm halo effect is opened to the strongest.

Because Tang Huan is proficient in Japanese, this makes his communication with the Japanese have no obstacles, and he is agitated to blush, as if the dealers who drank alcohol have unlimited confidence in the market prospects of the second-generation Fangyuan computer.

However, there are exceptions to everything, and Tang Huan discovered that at least one person who had just arrived at the scene hadn't been fooled by himself.

Tang Huan paid special attention to this guy. In his forties, he was dressed in formal clothes like everyone else beside him. Apart from his extremely serious expression, there was nothing special. However, under careful observation, he could still find out what was in his eyes. Proud, confident and condescending.

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

When Tang Huan completed his task, he returned to the office to rest, preparing to discuss the philosophical Chinese character coding scheme and standard differences with the Japan Industrial Standards Association.

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

"Vice President of Samsung Products of Korea, Li Jianxi." Tang Huan muttered, and at the same time a flash of light flashed in his mind. Isn't he the one who wasn't fooled by himself just now in the audience?

Li Jianxi is the third son of Samsung Group founder Li Bingzhe. He was sent to Tokyo to receive Japanese-style education at the age of 13. Now he has grown up for more than ten years. He holds an important position in the family business and is a high-powered person. How did he get there? Is Japan here?

But this accident seems to have traces to follow. You must know that it was in the original time and space. In a few years, Samsung Electronics will fully enter the semiconductor industry.

And as early as 1974. At that time, Lee Kin-hee, who was a director of Samsung's TV station Toyo TV, acquired Korean Semiconductor invested by the United States and made it the predecessor of Samsung's semiconductor division.

Interesting, is it possible that Li Jianxi is interested in Fangyuan Computer? As Tang Huan thought, he went out to meet the prince of the Samsung Group.

After a few simple greetings, Li Jianxi said bluntly: "Mr. Tang, I have used Fangyuan Computer personally and I am very interested in it. I want to introduce this product to Korea. I don't know what you think?"

"Mr. Li shows his love so much, he will not have taken the Fangyuan computer apart and studied it." Li Jianxi was always so serious, and Tang Huan was a little uncomfortable, so he joked about the other party's hobby of disassembling technology products.

Li Jianxi, who has published "Genius Theory" in his previous life, is of course extraordinary. He also realized that the atmosphere of the meeting seemed a bit stiff, so he smiled and nodded, "Mr. Tang guessed it, this is also my partner's round computer. For the reason of great interest, I hope to be able to introduce the authorization of Fangyuan Computer and build a factory in South Korea."

In the original time and space, the rapid rise of Samsung Electronics in the it industry was closely related to Li Jianxi's business strategy.

For the new field that has just entered, Samsung Electronics does not rely on itself to start everything from scratch. Instead, it buys patents in a large amount regardless of the momentary gains and losses, and quickly digests them into their own things, that is, to use funds to make up for their weak technical foundation and late start. The disadvantage.

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

In the original time and space, Li Jianxi once said a very famous saying, "Everything except wives and children must change." The enterprising spirit displayed by him can only be described as sturdy.

Tang Huan, of course, welcomes such a powerful faction like Li Jianxi who has come to his door to seek cooperation. As for the possible conflict of interest between the two sides, at least in the 1980s, it will not happen.

On the contrary, if Fangyuan Computer enters South Korea through Samsung, the result Tang Huan can think of is that the standards of personal computer hardware and software are the same in the Asian Confucian cultural circle, and the goal is not his own. What do you want to see?

"How much does Mr. Li know about Fangyuan 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 sides, so he replied frankly, “Fangyuan Computer was brought to South Korea by a businessman from Japan. I only recently started contacting it. In addition, I have also heard a little about your company’s handwriting to purchase memory in bulk 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 of Fangyuan computers has been mature, so currently only this series will be open for authorization, and this product still performs well in word processing." Tang Huan truthfully stated the content of cooperation that his side can provide.

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

"In addition..." Tang Huan pondered, "If Mr. Li is very interested in the computer industry, I would like you to take time to visit the US headquarters."

"A word is settled." Li Jianxi readily agreed, with a rare natural smile on his face.

With this big framework, the direction of the conversation between the two people is much clearer.

After he sent Li Jianxi away, Tang Huan shook his head playfully. It was really sleepy. Someone brought a pillow. With the special status of Samsung Group in Korea and the popularity of Fangyuan Computer, it is conceivable that he only needs to rely on the three major commercial software. Just make a profit.

As for the Korean coding standard that is full of errors and omissions, it is estimated that it will soon be replaced by the program carried by Fangyuan Computer.

...

Compared with other regions’ standard promotion efforts, Japan, which is economically developed, has established its own relatively mature character encoding scheme early. In the original time and space, China and South Korea have used them for reference, so Tang Huan dealt with the Japan Industrial Standards Association. It was really a little troublesome.

On the surface ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ he made it clear that Fangyuan Computer will follow Japanese standards, but it needs a process, but it can first provide a temporary solution by designing a conversion program, that is, through the exchange of codes.

In addition, Tang Huan requested that the new version of the standard should be revised as soon as possible. After all, the existing errors are delayed, the more trouble they cause.

In short, Tang Huan's attitude to solve the problem was very good, but he just tried his best to procrastinate.

His idea is very simple. After he chooses a generation of authorized manufacturers of Fangyuan computers, his market share will definitely increase. At that time, industry standards and official standards will be self-explanatory.

And the first unification in the IT field that I created is fully formed.
