v2 Chapter 617： Tiangong Group

Combining the memory of later generations, Xia Yu knows that although arcade games are now popular all over the world, console games will still have a bigger market in the future.

Of course, this is on the premise of excluding the big category of online games that have not yet appeared.

However, after reading this detailed information, Xia Yu decided to enter the arcade game market first.

After all, limited by the limitations of chips, the console game market has not yet exploded, and there are still a few years left for him to prepare.

The arcade games are different. The chips required are relatively low-end and there is no need to make a system. Many arcade games in his mind can be made directly under the current conditions, and they will definitely be more fun than "Space Invaders".

On the contrary, handheld games like "Pokemon" can't be produced at all now. Even if it is a game that is almost a bit well-made, the editing program is very large. With the current memory chip capacity, it can't be stored at all.

Although he had made a decision in his mind, Xia Yu still wanted to hear Huo Jianning's opinion, not only to test him, but also to see if he could be inspired a little.

After all, over the past few months, Huo Jianning has been able to collect information on the global video game market and definitely has his own knowledge and ideas about video games.

In the afternoon, Huo Jianning came to the chairman's office again.

"Jianning, sit down and say!"

"Thank you, Chairman!"

Huo Jianning sat on the sofa properly, without squinting, waiting for the chairman Xia Yu's question.

Xia Yu put the information on the desktop, gave Huo Jianning a look of appreciation, and praised: "I read the information you compiled. It is comprehensive and detailed, and it's done well!"

"Thank you for the compliment, chairman!"

Huo Jianning said with joy.

"Now I'm going to test you. If I want to enter the video game industry, which aspect is better to start with? Just say it, but the speaker is not to blame!"

Hearing what the chairman said, Huo Jianning nodded solemnly, took a deep breath, and thought quickly.

Xia Yu drank tea leisurely, observing Huo Jianning from time to time.

Maybe it was because he already had his own thoughts in his mind. Huo Jianning didn't let Xia Yu wait more. After about three minutes, he nodded to Xia Yu and said: "Chairman, then I will talk about my humble opinion."

"Well, let's talk!"

"According to my estimation, the market capacity of the global video game industry is now about 4 billion U.S. dollars, and the annual growth rate can reach more than 20%."

"The U.S. market alone accounted for two billion U.S. dollars, or more than half, followed by island countries, Europe, and other regions."

"In the four-billion-dollar market, the computer game market is more than 100 million U.S. dollars, console games account for more than 60%, and the rest is occupied by arcade games."

"Whether it is an arcade game or a console game, the motherboard has the highest technical content. It is the soul of the game console, and the soul of the motherboard is the chip. A high-quality chip is the basis for a good game. Relatively speaking, the console game The chip quality required is higher than arcade games."

"And the most important thing about the console game is the type of game cassette and the game system. This is a software difficulty. Unfortunately, our Xiangjiang does not have such conditions. Talent alone is the biggest limitation."

"If you want to enter the console game market, the best way is to set up a company in Silicon Valley on the west coast of the United States. Not only can you reduce costs, you can also find the software and hardware needed to develop console games."

"In addition, a large sum of money needs to be invested."

"After Fairchild completely withdrew from the game market last year, the entire U.S. console game market has been dominated by Atari, and the game consoles developed by Atari have undergone market testing and are now the most mature game consoles. If we want to compete , The difficulty is very large. It is conservatively estimated to invest more than 100 million US dollars to develop our game console. The research and development time span will take at least half a year, or even one or two years. At that time, Atari's new generation of game consoles has been released, so risk It's huge."

Hearing this, Xia Yu couldn't help but nod in agreement. He also considered these issues and didn't enter the console game market for the first time.

Of course, there is one thing Huo Jianning said before that Xia Yu did not agree. It is the estimation of the global video game industry market. He believes that the current 4 billion US dollar market should be about the same.

However, if the growth rate is too low, 20% per year will be too low. In the 1980s, integrated circuits will make huge breakthroughs, the shackles of the video game industry will be opened, and the golden explosion period of the video game industry will usher in.

However, Huo Jianning is not a rebirth like him after all. Due to the limitations of the times, it is understandable to give incorrect judgments.

At this time, Huo Jianning took a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, and then continued to talk.

"The production of arcade games is much simpler. As long as you design a game and make a motherboard, you can buy parts and assemble everything else. The current Taidong Company's "Space Invaders" did just that."

"If we set up a video game company to produce arcade machines, limited by talent and game creativity, art and assembly will not be a problem."

"In terms of talents, there are very few talents in the HeungKong semiconductor industry. However, I found that several professors and teachers in the Department of Electronic Engineering that HeungKong Chinese University opened a few years ago came back from the United States. They are experts in this area. We can hire They are consultants."

"But in the long run, the number of talents is not enough, and if CUHK is too late to train, the best way is to set up branches abroad or dig talents."

Speaking of this, Huo Jianning hesitated for a while, and said again: "These are conventional ideas, but it is better to directly acquire a video game company with your capital advantage, chairman."

Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction, and asked with interest: "If you are asked to recommend one, which company do you recommend to acquire?"

"Nangongmeng and Sega are the leaders in the arcade industry in the island country. You can buy one of them. However, the survey found that Sega's business situation is not very good. American Overseas and Western Industrial Corporation are interested in selling shares. I personally recommend the acquisition of Sega."

"Papa..."

"That's right, it suits my heart!"

Xia Yu applauded and exclaimed with a smile on his face.

Huo Jianning bowed modestly.

"You are right. To acquire a company and skip the slowest early stage of development is the best way. Sega is also a good acquisition target."

"but……"

Hearing the turning point, Huo Jianning, who was originally happy, looked at Xia Yu immediately, raising a heart slightly.

"Nangong Dream and Sega are both island companies. No matter what they do, they are creating taxes for the islanders and feeding the islanders."

"Now that the residents of Hong Kong are under great employment pressure, coupled with the rise of the real estate industry and the rising pressure on the lives of residents, the industrial structure of Hong Kong seems to be too single, and it has fallen behind the other three of the "Four Asian Dragons", including the United Kingdom. The government’s reason, but another reason is also that we people lack social responsibility. Most people only look at immediate benefits."

"After all, Xiangjiang is my root and the place of our Chinese. Since I have the ability and the British government does not consider these things, I will do it myself."

"Although I am also a real estate developer who drink blood in the mouths of others, this is a general trend. I cannot change, nor do I want to change, but I can still be different from other real estate developers and leave the blood of technology and innovation to Xiangjiang."

Huo Jianning's eyes were full of shock. He didn't expect the chairman to consider this issue!

He changed his mind to The chairman seemed to have started to do some things a long time ago, such as Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. According to his understanding, the industry of Xiangjiang was completely enlarged by the chairman and dominated the island country comics industry, but still The head office is in Xiangjiang.

The benefits are obvious. After one year, because of the existence of Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd., the comics and animation industries have risen. Many young people are determined to engage in this industry. Now there are several comic newspapers and more than a dozen comic companies. Although these companies are still small.

It can be said that Jiuding Animation Co., Ltd. relied on its own strength to grab an industry from the island country, and abruptly solved the employment problem of a small number of people in Xiangjiang, and will solve the employment problem of more people in the future. This is what Xiangjiang has contribution.

Now, the chairman is doing the same thing again, just replacing the comics with more technologically advanced video games.

Seeing the shock and admiration in Huo Jianning’s eyes, Xia Yu smiled faintly and said: “You go offshore to register two companies, one is called Tiangong Group and the other is called Tiangong Electronics Co., Ltd., which is wholly-owned by Tiangong Group. Subsidiaries, and then investigate the situation of Sega in the island country and U.S. Overseas and Western Industrial Corporation in preparation for the acquisition of Sega."

The company's name is Tiangong, which is derived from the term "smart workmanship", which entrusts Xia Yu's deep expectations.

The most magical creator of the things of nature, and the exquisite man-made is better than the natural, the description of the skill is extremely exquisite

In his vision, Tiangong Group will be rooted in the fields of science and technology and industrial manufacturing in the future, and Tiangong Group's products must be comparable in quality to natural creations.

"Yes!"

Huo Jianning was excited and responded loudly.

"Go!"
