I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Jing Shenda was explaining to Wu Guangyao: "President, please look, this is a portable tape player, and this is a pair of earphones!"

Wu Guangyao played with the prototype of the Walkman in his hand, and couldn't put it down!

Put in the tape, press the on button, and put the earphones on your head;

The music immediately reached his ears, and Wu Guangyao pressed the off button after immersing himself in it for a while.

"The sound quality is a little bit worse, but the appearance and size of the whole device still have room for improvement! Don't launch it into the market yet, and continue to improve it."

Jing Shenda nodded and said, "I think so too, but I want to register the patent of the 'Walkman Concept' first; after all, the technology of this Walkman is not that big, and if it leaks out, it's easy to be preempted!"

"Haha! President Jing Shenda, I bet that mainstream music equipment manufacturers will laugh at us when we display equipment or register patents!" Wu Guangyao couldn't help joking with his proud executives.

Jing Shenda looked at Wu Guangyao curiously, and said in disbelief: "Why is this? This device is simply the gospel for music lovers. It allows everyone to listen to music anytime and anywhere. I think it is a very great invention and creativity. .”

Seeing Wu Guangyao smiling and not saying a word, Jing Shenda seemed to have realized something, and said, "What does the president mean, they will think that the 'Walkman' sacrifices sound quality and emphasizes portability, and is a product with no future?"

Wu Guangyao finally nodded!

Jing Shenda also laughed, and said, "That's just right! When our products sell well, these music equipment manufacturers will be late to enter the market!"

Wu Guangyao said proudly: "The registration of patents you mentioned is really urgent. In the future, we can use patents to talk about things when we have nothing to do. It will be even more difficult for these manufacturers to enter this industry."

In fact, the "Walkman" was not invented by Sony in the previous life, but a German-Brazilian, Andrea Spavel, who first proposed the concept of "Walkman Music Player" in the world.

In 1972, he built a gadget with a "portable tape playback system" and "headphones". This thing is the prototype of the "Walkman"; People can listen to music anytime and anywhere.

However, the mainstream music equipment manufacturers at that time, such as Philips, Yamaha and other established acoustic manufacturers, believed that this kind of equipment that sacrificed sound quality and emphasized portability had no future.

Andreas Spavel was not discouraged, he insisted on his own research, and applied for a patent in 1977.

Two years later, Sony's first s-l2 came out on the market. While Sony sold it at a high price, it was also keenly aware that Pavel's invention patent would pose a threat to its business future; so Sony asked Pavel to abandon the concept of "portable music equipment" The identity of the "inventor", a lawsuit tug-of-war that lasted for 25 years began.

In this life, this will naturally not happen again!

Then, Jing Shenda took Wu Guangyao to another laboratory, where he saw several arcade machines;

Wu Guangyao knew that the title of 'Arcade Progenitor' was about to be taken down by Sony!

At this time, Akio Morita had already registered the "Ping Pong" arcade game in the United States, a few months earlier than the original Atari; the most important thing is that 50 arcade machines have been shipped to the United States, which is the best proof.

"Boss, do you want to experience it!" Jing Shen said with a big smile.

"Of course, the two of us compete!" Wu Guangyao was full of interest.

"Ping Pong" arcade is a battle game, with two pairs of rocker arms, the operation is quite simple, but Wu Guangyao still enjoys playing it;

This game is a game that simulates two people playing table tennis. In fact, there is a point moving between the two lines;

It's such a simple game, but in this era of scarce entertainment methods, it is sure to quickly attract people's attention.

It is rumored that in the previous life, Atari only produced 12 arcade machines at first, and after they were officially put into use,

It didn't take long before something went wrong, and guess what?

There is no room to store coins!

The success of Sony's arcade R\u0026D is inevitable. After all, it is a big team. If even two people can't handle the development project;

Then Wu Guangyao really doubts whether the IQ of Americans is higher than that of people from other countries!

After the game ended, Wu Guangyao couldn't help but said, "Let us, Sony, lead the video game revolution!"

Jing Shen nodded happily and was encouraged;

Although the president does not know technology, he is a very farsighted creative!

It seems that the products conceived by the president are all great inventions, which Jing Shenda can't help admiring.

Wu Guangyao also said: "From now on, Sony's game department must quickly strengthen its technical capabilities. This ping-pong arcade machine is just a primitive class, and it is still far from a real arcade machine. I hope you pay attention to this project! Tell me, this project is worth billions of dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars!"

Jing Shen was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the boss to value this project so much!

He tentatively asked: "President, this kind of arcade game only needs bars and other entertainment venues. How can the market be so big?"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "As long as this arcade game becomes colorful, graphic, and highly playable, then there will be a game room! When we do business, we mainly consider the needs of customers, not what places; I think our age, where entertainment methods are still scarce, naturally requires a large number of such game devices.”

Jing Shenda bowed to Wu Guangyao, and said seriously: "You have been taught, President!"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Actually, I asked you to strengthen Sony's technical capabilities. I also have an idea. Are you interested?"

Jing Shenda blurted out: "Of course! I would consider it an honor even to hear an idea from the chairman, not to mention personally participating in the design and production!"

Wu Guangyao said: "The TV is a display device that can display rich images. If you play games, don't you think it will be more entertaining!"

Jing Shenda nodded, but still had no clue!

Wu Guangyao continued: "Invent a host that can be connected to a TV and operated with a handle! I can only imagine this. You should set up this project first, and our laboratories in Japan and the United States will proceed simultaneously!"

Jing Shenda said seriously: "I will immediately set up a laboratory in the United States and Japan, and I will report to you as soon as I have a clue!"

Wu Guangyao patted his confidant and loved general, and said: "Don't feel pressured, you are my chief technology officer, and also Lenovo Group's chief technology officer, and overall management is your job. You only need to provide comments and review results for specific research and development. Just do it!"

Jing Shen was greatly moved and thought to himself, if it wasn’t for the president, how could he develop Trinitron TV and become a world-class celebrity, and the British royal family would even award him a knighthood;

If it wasn't for this president, Walkman, arcade, video game console, all these inventions, it wouldn't be my turn to develop them, because I didn't think of these ideas!

The important thing is that the chairman never allowed everyone to say that these inventions have his shadow, and he gave all the credit to his subordinates. This kind of spirit is really admirable!

Moreover, the longer you work with this chairman, the more everyone admires him;

Lenovo Group is not listed, and some employee shareholders who want to sell their shares, the chairman has never been greedy;

After the shares were repurchased to the company, they will be rewarded again to the meritorious officials of Lenovo Group.

 …

I stayed in Lenovo Group for almost ten days, and I didn't wait for Yiqiao Group to attack again;

Naturally, Wu Guangyao has no interest in continuing to watch good shows, and plans to return to Hong Kong!

It took a whole month to come to Japan this time, and Wu Guangyao sorted out the four main businesses:

In terms of animation (Dongfang Group), with the "evidence" of the Hitotsubashi Group provided by the Otowa Group, and the evidence collected by Dongfang Manga Club in various bookstores, it can be said that no matter what the Hitotsubashi Group does next, Dongfang Animation Company will It's a sure thing.

In terms of convenience stores (Baiyou Group), Wu Guangyao has almost completed the layout. Baiyou Group will add 440 stores within two years, and the total number of stores in Japan will reach 1,000; among them, the number of franchised stores is expected to be about 300 .

Lenovo Group, Wu Guangyao has also assigned tasks, which is enough for Lenovo Group to develop for a period of time; of course, for some well-known games, Wu Guangyao plans to write an outline later and hand it over to Sony; such as "Snake", "Super Mario", For games such as "Hong Kong Cubes", at the right time, Wu Guangyao will come up with the outline.

In terms of shipping, Wu Guangyao mainly visited some important customers. When everyone saw Wu Guangyao, they all asked Wu Guangyao to reduce the shipping fee;

After everything was arranged, Wu Guangyao set off for Hong Kong!
