We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Chapter 34 Set sail
Not to mention it was a trial, after more than an hour there were very few people walking around this corner. Most people are listening to stories from Motorola and IBM. Even young people who are interested in games are listening to Atari and Sega. That is their first choice.

Since there is no one around, you need to arrange your time reasonably.

What to do? Of course, eat first.

What's the use of being anxious? If being anxious can solve the problem, Luo Nianzhong can perform at the door sweating profusely and be impatient. He still recognizes his acting talent.

At a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, Luo Nianzhong was taking most of his employees to eat here. Compared to Western steaks, Luo Nianzhong still prefers Chinese food with a variety of flavors.

"Relax, don't be so nervous." Looking at Liang Jiadong who had no appetite, Luo Nianzhong comforted him.

"Come on, try this famous General Tso's Chicken. This is my first time eating this dish." After saying that, he took a piece of chicken and put it in his mouth, chewing it slowly and savoring it.

I don’t know how this dish has become a representative Chinese delicacy that Easterners have never heard of, but Westerners know it all.

"Luo Sheng, I can't eat it. The alley is too dark for the aroma of wine. Our early preparations are insufficient and we haven't advertised. I'm really afraid of screwing up. It's a pity that such a good game is lost."

"Aren't we advertising right now? And they're all reaching dealers' home bases." Luo Nianzhong joked.

"I know you want to make some achievements, but you can't rush everything. It's yours and he can't run away even if he wants to. Our game is so good, as long as someone has played it, it's impossible not to like it."

After speaking, he pointed to Tom who was wrestling with a big elbow at the next table. "Look at this person? How good his mentality is? There is a problem with the boss's business, so he should eat and drink."

Liang Jiadong turned his head and glanced at Tom, who was full of oil, and said to himself, "Is this a state of mind? Is this just heartless?"

Perhaps sensing that someone was looking at him, Tom raised his head and met Liang Jiadong's eyes. Looking at Liang Jiadong's eyes, he thought that he also liked the big elbow in his hand, and he crossed his big elbows and gestured to him, getting angry. Liang Jiadong glared at him and turned his head back.

Liang Jiadong's expression made Tom confused. He looked at the big elbow in his hand and thought that the most important thing was to work.

Liang Jiadong here is frowning. On the other side of the exhibition, Luo Nianzhong's company's booth is almost packed.

Set the time back an hour ago, when Luo Nianzhong and the others just left.

"Iger, shouldn't we wait in line at Atari? What's good to see elsewhere? These electronic products are all available on the market, and there are no new products. Is there anything worth shopping? It's better to wait and play new games. have fun".

Along with the sound, two young people in their late teens were seen walking aimlessly. One was persuading someone, while the other young man was walking around the exhibition, looking at the exhibits on both sides from time to time.

"I don't want to stand in a boring queue. Even if it's your turn, it's only a few minutes of game time. I don't believe it. Except for Atari and Sega, there are no other game manufacturers participating in the exhibition."

"No, Iger, what good games can those small game manufacturers develop? If Davis and the others see us playing these rubbish games, we will become a laughing stock."

It's a pity that the words of his companion did not dispel Egger's idea, and he just wandered around without saying anything.

As we were about to reach the most remote area of ​​the venue, our companion's voice rang out again, "Eger, look, I just said there are no other game manufacturers, right? We are almost done shopping."

"Okay, Royce, you're right, we are wasting time, but I still don't want to wait in that damn line."

The appointed Iger was about to walk back. Just when he was about to turn around and leave, his eyes caught sight of the corner of the arcade machine in Luo Nianzhong's booth. He knew he had seen it right and pulled Royce forward two steps. When the outline of the entire arcade came into view, Egger shouted excitedly.

"Royce, look, there are other game companies coming to the exhibition."

Royce was also a little surprised. Today's arcade games are basically a two-power competition between Atari and Sega. As for those small companies, they basically deceive country people with rough graphics. How could these companies be willing to spend money to buy booths to participate in the exhibition. Even if you are willing to spend money, the organizing committee will not let you enter if they see such a rubbish game.

Without having time to think about it, he grabbed his companion who was about to walk forward and said, "Eger, look, there is no one at this company's booth. Do we really want to go play?"

"Why not?" Egg looked very excited. After saying that, he walked over.

Royce had no choice but to follow.

When the staff in the booth saw someone coming to try it out, they didn't hesitate because of their young age, and even gave them some explanations.

Regarding the staff's praise and assurance, Royce clearly questioned, "Is it really that fun?"

"Of course, you can give it a try. Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle."

Royce thought about it and ignored the staff. He took Egg and sat on top of the arcade machine in Xiangjiang Cube.

In the beginning, Royce was very relaxed. As time went by, Royce eliminated more and more blocks, his rhythm became faster and faster, and his accumulation also grew.

Finally, in a rush, the game was over.

"Oh no. I can pass this level. It's just that my logic went a little awry at the beginning and I didn't plan well."

Royce seemed very annoyed. After speaking, he wanted to explain his mistake to his companions, but when he turned around, he found that the person beside him was gone. When he turned around, he saw that Egg was playing other games on an arcade machine behind him.

After standing behind Egg and watching for a while, Royce found the game very interesting, but he did not play it. Instead, he returned to his seat and continued his trip to Hong Kong Island Cube.

There were more and more people in the exhibition hall. Those who thought there was no hope of queuing at Atari and Sega were quickly attracted by Royce's shouting voice.

I discovered that there was actually an arcade company here. Looking at the two people who were getting carried away playing, others also entered the Honor game exhibition hall.

As the number of people increased, and most of them were young people, the cheers and annoyances one after another instantly attracted a large number of spectators.

It is not only the instinct of Chinese people to join in the fun, but also of foreigners. This small corner has created its own legend, and there are also long queues like Atari.

The number of people was increasing, and the booths were located at an angle, resulting in long queues. Those people asked for information from players who had played it. When they learned that this company's games were more fun than Atari and Sega, it aroused the minds of these people in line.

When Luo Nianzhong came back with a group of people, he was also confused. He was confident in his company's game, but he didn't expect that it would become so popular after eating.

Do you know the aunts who get up early and queue up to grab groceries before the supermarket opens? That battle was incomparable to now.

With the four Muellers clearing the way, Luo Nianzhong, who had not easily squeezed in, had not yet taken a breath when a staff member came to report. "Luo Sheng, a European game dealer is here and has been waiting for you in the small living room in the back."

"Really? I'll go over and take a look. You guys go to eat first. Thank you for your hard work." It seemed that business was coming. After saying that, he took Liang Jiadong into the inner room.

The room inside is small and simple, just a small lounge, two sofas and a table. Each booth has one, which is used by companies to discuss business and sign contracts.

As soon as he came in, he saw a middle-aged man with blond hair and brown eyes sitting on the sofa and browsing the details page of Honor Game Company. Luo Nianzhong asked Liang Jiadong to find someone to do it.

This details page not only records the company's short history, but also the factory's address, size, number of employees and an introduction to existing games. In addition to text, it also comes with a large number of photos.

Hearing the sound, he looked up and saw Luo Nianzhong and the two of them. The middle-aged man put down the details page in his hand and stood up.

"Hello, my name is Hoslett. I am a European game dealer. You must be the managers of this company. I'm glad I didn't wait too long."

"I'm very sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Hoslett. I'm the boss of this company. You can call me Luo." Luo Nianzhong shook hands with him and introduced to Liang Jiadong on the side, "This is the general manager of our company, Mr. Liang Jiadong. You can talk to him about anything."

"Hello Mr. Liang".

"Hello Mr. Horselet".

After the two parties greeted each other, Luo Nianzhong invited them to sit down.

After sitting down, Hoslet picked up the details page in front of the table and said, "I just learned a little about your company. Although it was established only a short time ago, its strength cannot be underestimated. From this detailed details page, we can It can be seen that your company is not as messy as a start-up company, and it also shows the strength and ambition of your company."

"Thank you Mr. Hoslett for the compliment. The General Manager next to me, Liang, once worked for Atari and has his own opinions on the management of game companies."

Hoslet suddenly realized, "No wonder, this makes me more confident in your company's products."

After complimenting him, Hoslet asked tentatively, "I wonder what your company's views are on game licensing?"

This time, before Luo Nianzhong could speak, Liang Jiadong rejected him.

"Sorry, Mr. Hostlet. Although this can save us production time and make a lot of money at once, it is not within the scope of our consideration.

I think Mr. Horselet should also know about the three games developed by our company. It is undeniable that they are all great games and they will definitely become hits."

Liang Jiadong's meaning is very simple. This is not an ordinary arcade game. Once authorized, the more the other party produces, the more profit it will lose. At the same time, it also said that Honor Games is very confident and optimistic about its products.

"All right". Hoslet just asked a tentative question to maximize his interests. Seeing Liang Jiadong's refusal, he said nothing more.

"I wonder what the ex-factory price of your company's arcade machines is?"

"$2400."

This price made Hoslett's eyebrows wrinkle immediately. He is a game channel dealer, so he naturally knows the approximate cost. I knew that arcade machines were hugely profitable, but I didn't expect that the prices of Luo Nianzhong's arcade machines would be so high.

"Mr. Liang, you have to know that the ex-factory price of Space Invaders is only US$2200. This is the most popular game this year."

"I know, but I think Mr. Hoslett should also know how much money those merchants paid for this game. At the highest, it was less than 3000 US dollars and you couldn't get it.

Another thing I want to remind Mr. Hoslett is that Space Invaders is no longer the most popular and fun game. It’s hard to say whether it can be ranked in the top three. And because of our production capacity, we cannot distribute the goods on a large area at once.”

This tells Hoslater that you have no problem selling our arcade machine for $3000. Moreover, due to production capacity issues, this kind of shortage may last for a long time. You can also get rare goods. As for how much you can sell it for, it depends on you. Yes.

Regarding this, Hoslet also knows that as long as the game is popular, there will be many people looking for him to get the goods for $3000. With the consumption level in Europe, a huge hit of a game can pay back its investment in two months, especially in Northern Europe and some big cities with good economies, it doesn’t even take one and a half months.

He just wanted to keep the price down, who would think he was making too much?
"But these are just Mr. Liang's words, and your company's games have not been tested by the market." Hoslet still wanted to fight for it, but Luo Nianzhong laughed.

Reaching out and pointing in the direction of the door, Liang Jiadong stiffened, "Isn't this the best verification?"

Hoslet thought of the three games he had tried, and there was no much benefit in delaying them, so he made up his mind. "Well, Mr. Liang, you are really a master of business. I agree to the $2400, but I have a condition."

Liang Jiadong smiled and motioned for Hoslet to continue.

"My purchase price cannot be higher than any seller's purchase price, and the goods must be shipped within a month."

Liang Jiadong thought for a while and asked, "I wonder how many arcade machines Mr. Hoslett needs."

"Twenty thousand units each."

Hearing this number, not to mention Liang Jiadong, even Luo Nianzhong couldn't help but glance at Hoslet.

This quantity is still the first batch. I thought he was just an ordinary European game dealer, but he turned out to be a big fish. According to Luo Nianzhong's estimation, this Hoslet is not the largest dealer in Europe, but also one of the top ones.

Without thinking, Luo Nianzhong agreed to the other party's request.

"Yes, except for the local prices in Hong Kong Island. But don't worry, although their prices are lower than yours, there are conditions. They only have a monthly quota of 1500 units."

For the vast European and American markets, 1500 arcade machines are not even enough for a large city. Hoslater did not struggle with the more than a thousand arcade machines, stood up and took out his right hand and said "please cooperate".

"A pleasure to work with."

"A pleasure to work with."

The three of them were very happy. When sending Hoslett away, Liang Jiadong said it was a pity that there was no champagne to celebrate.
