Chapter 185 After I Bloom, Hundred Flowers Kill! ! ! (seeking subscription)
In the 20s, RB's economy seemed to be on the hook, which was against the sky. It created an economic myth. RB people even threatened to buy the entire United States!
80年代中后期，RB买下了夏威夷海滩区2/3的豪华酒家、大批楼房、大餐厅、购物中心、高尔夫球场、畜牧场和种植园。每年到夏威夷的数以百万计的旅客中, RB人占1/5。很多美国人对RB人再次袭击夏威夷深感忧虑。檀香山市市长疾呼：“檀香山市快变成东京的一个区了。”夏威夷俨然成了供RB人休假疗养的“乐园”，宛若一个“新殖民地”。

The mainland of the United States is also in emergency everywhere, and cities have been lost one after another.

Mitsubishi Corporation invested 8.46 million U.S. dollars to acquire 51% of the shares of Rockefeller Center in New York, known as the "Symbol of Wealth" and "Symbol of America" ​​in the United States; Columbia Film Company of Leu; Panasonic Corporation invested $34 billion to acquire Universal Pictures; the American Broadcasting Corporation building fell; the headquarter building of Citibank changed its name;

Professor Ezra F. Vogel, a well-known research expert on RB issues at Harvard University in the United States, published a research monograph called "RB First" (Japan as Number One), which immediately caused a sensation in the United States. It became one of the best-selling books in the United States that year, and everyone from ordinary American citizens, scholars to members of Congress, government officials and even soldiers in the Pentagon rushed to read it, and the American media also carried out hype.

In response to the challenge from RB, the United States adopted a policy of devaluation of the dollar to increase the export competitiveness of products and improve the imbalance of the US balance of payments, which was the Plaza Accord signed in 1985.In fact, the dollar has been depreciating since the 70s...

For Li Zetian, if the RB people want to buy the United States, he must buy RB!

Use the yen earned from the game to invest in RB real estate, and wait until one or two years before the real estate bubble bursts before selling it! RB's real estate bubble is very serious. The real estate value of RB Tokyo alone is equivalent to that of the entire United States. This is simply too exaggerated! ! !

Li Zetian didn't take the opportunity to make a profit, it was simply unreasonable.

At this time, the news of the contact between Flamingo and RB's retailers was spread, and the media were surprised that Flamingo actually chose RB as the place for the launch of the game console.

Public opinion in American newspapers expressed dissatisfaction with this. It is obviously an American company, why did they choose RB to release the game console?
RB media is very proud.

"RB's economy is developing rapidly, and RB people are richer than Americans and have stronger purchasing power. Flamingo's choice to release game consoles in RB undoubtedly shows the strength of RB's economy!!!" Some experts and professors preached.

America, Warner Bros.

"Mr. Kevin Smith, what's your take on the release of the Flamingo console in RB?"

"Opinion? Oh, that's just too funny!"

Kevin Smith, CEO of Warner Bros. laughed loudly, "Obviously, Flamingo was afraid of Sunbird and didn't dare to confront the enemy head-on, so it went to RB. In the United States, the Atari 2600 occupies a large In some markets, no third-party game developers are willing to develop games for Flamingo. In RB, the market share of the Atari 2600 is certainly the first, but it does not have such influence in the United States, so RB third-party game development The businessman may be willing to develop games for the Flamingo Company! Huh, I thought the Flamingo Company was so powerful, and I vowed to challenge the position of the Sunbird Company before, but I didn’t expect it to be a coward!"

The media embellished these remarks, and then made the headlines of the newspapers, causing an uproar in the industry.

Media reporters came to Flamingo to interview CEO Nolan Bushnell.

"Mr. Bushnell, why did Flamingo release the game console in RB first? Is it as Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Smith said, Flamingo was afraid of Sunbird and dared not take up the challenge, so it ran to RB Have you gone?" The reporters rushed to ask.

Nolan Bushnell looked very calm, and said calmly: "That's not the case, it's just a strategy of the company. The RB game market is second only to the United States, and Flamingo Company attaches great importance to the RB market, so it considers the RB market first. Release the game in RB."

"Mr. Bushnell, you also said that the United States is the largest game market? Is there a problem with Flamingo's strategy? Or, as Kevin Smith said, Flamingo is a coward, no Dare to face Sunbird head-on?"

Nolan Bushnell frowned. These reporters were always chasing the same question, which made him very unhappy.

At this time, Li Zetian walked out of the company.

As soon as the reporters saw him, they rushed forward one after another, holding up their microphones, wanting to interview him.

Li Zetian said indifferently: "If you want to fight, you can fight. After Christmas, Sunbird Company will be removed from the list of overlords in the game industry!!!"

As soon as the voice fell, the audience was in an uproar!

Removed from the list of overlords in the game world! ! !

What a big breath!
Everyone looked at Li Zetian in surprise, and wanted to continue interviewing him, but he had already turned around and walked into the company!

It doesn't matter, the sentence just now is enough to make headlines!

On that day, major American media quoted Li Zetian's words one after another.

As soon as the newspaper came out, the industry was shocked.

After Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Smith saw the newspaper, he couldn't help being furious!
"Very well, let's wait and see!!!" Kevin Smith laughed angrily, and ordered Sunbird Company to speed up the game development, and must develop 20 games to stop Flamingo Company before Christmas. At the same time, an ultimatum is issued to all third-party game developers, anyone who dares to develop games for the Flamingo Company will be banned! ! !

When the ban came out, most of the third-party game developers were frightened. Although they were very upset, they were afraid of Warner Bros.'s despotic power, so they dared not disobey the order!

There is no airtight wall in the world, and the banning order of Warner Bros. was quickly reported.

The reporters came to the Flamingo Company again.

Nolan Bushnell said in an interview: "Hello, reporters. Here, I won't say too much, but I will relay to you an ancient Chinese poem that Chronos Li once said! He said, 'Wait until autumn comes to nine On the eighth day of the month, my flowers will bloom!' Warner Bros. thought that Sunbird was the competitor of Flamingo, but in fact, we didn't take it seriously. After the release of the Flamingo game console, not only Ya Dali 2600, all game consoles on the market, will all be reduced to rubbish and waste products!!!”

The reporters were all stunned, because the Flamingo Company didn't take any competitors seriously!
so arrogant? !

After the release of the Flamingo game console, all other game consoles will be reduced to garbage and waste products?

Fuck, this tone, it's just a blast!
It didn't take long for the news to reach Kevin Smith's ears, and his face turned red with anger.

"Chronos Li is just talking nonsense, why does Flamingo dare to challenge the world's game consoles?"

As for why?
Kevin Smith quickly learned.

On November 11, the Flamingo-1 home game console was fully launched on RB. At the same time, "Super Mario", "Contra", "Tank War", "Double Dragon", "Soloman A total of 1 games including Snake, Metroid, The Legend of Zelda, Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Super Arkanoid, and Chinese Cubes.The first 11 games are all new games, and the last 7 games have been improved, the game screen is better, and it is more fun.

First of all, the performance of the Flamingo-1 game console exceeds all game consoles on the market, and the picture is excellent; secondly, the 11 games released are classics, and each game is so addicting to players that they have never played it before. Playing such a fun game, it seems that overnight, a door opened to the game world and entered a new era.

Once the Flamingo-1 game console was released, it immediately caused a sensation in RB. Countless RB players were crazy about it and rushed to buy it.

There are almost tens of meters of long queues lined up at the entrances of all shops, especially Akihabara, which is the most shocking.

Akihabara is the most famous electronics street in RB, with thousands of electronic stores. At this moment, the roads are overcrowded and congested. This is the first time this has happened in Akihabara. It is simply shocking.

In addition, Flamingo has released various game novels and comics, which further aroused players' enthusiasm and interest in shopping!
当天结束后，火烈鸟公司对外公布了销售情况，卖出了105万台火烈鸟-1游戏机和955万张游戏卡带以360万本游戏小说和660本游戏漫画。

As soon as the news came out, the entire game industry couldn't help being in an uproar.

Shocked and terrified!
Nolan Bushnell, CEO of Flamingo, said: "Because it is the first day of the release of the game console, many RB players have not received the news, otherwise the sales will be more. However, there is no doubt that with the game's Good word of mouth, sales in the next few days will be more than the first day!"

Naturally, Warner Bros. received the news immediately. CEO Kevin Smith showed an expression of disbelief, and he even repeatedly asked "whether the news is true" three times.When he learned that the news was accurate, his expression was slumped, and he slumped down on the chair.

Atari 2600 sold a maximum of 10,000+ units in the Christmas promotion, and the best sales result in RB was only 5 units a day.Compared with the Flamingo-1 game console, it is a world of difference.

Not to mention how the RB newspaper reported Flamingo at the moment, the headlines of the American newspapers already wrote: "Flamingo is popular in RB, Sunbird is about to fall!!!"
