Game Development Giant

In this way, Jester's proposal was successfully supported by everyone. Mars Entertainment's new console was also confirmed to be named Dreambox 2, which represents the second generation console of the Dreambox series of consoles. For anyone, this The name can clearly show the blood relationship of this game console.

Now that's all about Pokemon.

After Jester finished speaking, he turned his attention to the foreign affairs liaison group. What he asked about was not the release of the Pokemon game, but about the animation of this game. At that time, he approached Miying and KyoAni to jointly produce of.

The people from the Foreign Affairs Liaison Department did not dare to neglect, and said simply and directly: We contacted ABC, and they said that starting next week, they will broadcast our cartoon on the 20 children's TV stations under their TV network. , if the effect is good, they can guarantee that it will be broadcast on the entire network. In Japan, President Yuxiu just came today with the news that Fuji TV has agreed to our broadcast request, and they have seen the sample and heard about us. After preparing for the game promotion plan at the same time as Christmas, they said that they will purchase the first broadcast rights of our cartoons at the highest newcomer price, but they want a guarantee that they will not be able to give us the rights before they finish broadcasting. TV stations within his Japanese region.

Very reasonable.

Fuji TV's request was very reasonable. Judging from the other party's attitude and tone, it was obvious that the other party was extremely optimistic about this game, so Jester agreed without hesitation.

But ABC also depends on the ratings requirements...

Jester frowned.

The person from the Foreign Affairs Liaison Department looked hesitant when he saw Jester, and he obviously understood what the reason was. He also quickly explained abc's explanation: Boss, as for abc, it's not that they look down on us, but because The style of this cartoon is really not suitable for the aesthetics of American audiences. They are worried about what accidents will happen. But only for this cartoon, they approve it, otherwise, they will not do it in one breath. Twenty children’s TV stations were directly given.”

Hearing his subordinate's explanation, Jester could only nod helplessly. Even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't let abc directly broadcast it to him on the entire network. Moreover, the other party's concerns were also very reasonable, Pokemon style. So un-American.

Jester even had the idea of ​​​​acquiring a TV network directly. Now that he has acquired a TV network, he will definitely be able to maintain income in the future, but when he thinks of the backers behind the five major TV networks and the US government's attitude towards those who acquire TV networks, After the qualification review, he felt that it could only be a whim, and it was just a temporary idea. He had no interest in running a huge TV network. This kind of huge, bloated group with tens of thousands of people is not what he likes.

It's like him taking a stake in Samsung. It's not that he has any bad thoughts about Samsung, but that the rise of Samsung in the future has become inevitable. According to the original historical trajectory, Samsung will definitely become a veritable world-class giant. I just want to take advantage of it now.

Thinking of Samsung, Jester recalled the proposal he gave to Li Jianxi before he returned to South Korea last time.

It is to shift Samsung Electronics' attention to LCD screens and mobile phones. These two are currently the two most promising development prospects for consumer electronics products from materials to products.

and. Today's new mobile phones have similar foundations to all major communication companies in the world. It is not too late for Samsung to enter the market now. In four years' time, when this new type of signal communication mobile phones begins to be popularized on a large scale, Samsung will already be able to take advantage of it. A very mature model was obtained, and by that time, Samsung began to officially rise.

As for the LCD, when Jester talked about this, he could clearly see Li Jianxi's heartbeat towards his proposal in his eyes.

Moreover, what Li Jianxi said later also proved that he could analyze it well through the eyes of the other party.

I am indeed very interested in LCD technology. Li Jianxi also smiled bitterly, and then said helplessly, Today's LCD technology, the top-notch ones are basically in the hands of Japan. Needless to say, Japan's top-notch Even if the LCD technology is second-tier, they can’t give it to us.”

As he spoke, Li Jianxi cursed fiercely: Damn flying geese theory.

Jester just looked at Li Jianxi without saying a word and complained.

Li Jianxi didn't take it seriously. After cursing a few words, he calmed down and continued: They can give us their third-generation LCD screen manufacturing technology, which is the first generation technology. , the yield rate is very low, and basically you can’t make much money from this kind of LCD screen - that’s it. We at Samsung can achieve this day, and we all know that no matter what technology, we need to slowly improve ourselves. According to research, one bite won't make you fat, but their prices are really...

Jester knew how domineering and rude Japanese companies were in this era. In this aspect, he had no choice. He could only comfort Li Jianxi: No matter what price the other party wants, we will agree to it. As long as we can bite it tightly The opponent, don’t let the opponent’s technology surpass ours too much. In the future, we will still be able to complete counterattacks and overtakes, and there will definitely be opportunities.”

These words made Li Jianxi's eyes widen. He looked at Jester in disbelief. He didn't understand why Jester was so sure. The reason why he still hasn't made up his mind is because of Japan. As long as a person doesn't make mistakes, he will always be left behind by the Japanese in terms of LCD screens.

Want the Japanese to make mistakes?

That is impossible. Competition among the Japanese is very fierce. The research direction of Sony, Panasonic, and Sharp is not all the way. No matter which way fails, there will always be success.

Jester can't talk about the financial crisis of 1997, because it was because of this financial crisis that Japanese electronics companies had no choice but to sell their best production lines directly in order to protect themselves. Otherwise, Samsung There is no chance to take advantage of the financial crisis of 1997 to rise rapidly, and Japanese companies will not plummet from then on.

So, Jester just smiled mysteriously.

Brother Li, everything depends on human effort.

It all depends on manpower. Li Jianxi carefully chewed these four words Jester said. Slowly, his determination gradually strengthened. Jester said a lot, everything depends on manpower. He has the determination to rise with Samsung. , but he also needs God's favor, and he should do his best. If God really favors him, he will naturally get a chance. If God doesn't favor him, then he will not become worse.

At least the technology that the Japanese want to sell to them now is already difficult for them to develop.

As long as you enter that door, how much success you can achieve in the future will all depend on your own efforts and luck. After thinking for a long time, Li Jianxi finally made a decision.

These memories flashed through Jester's mind. When he was on the phone with Li Jianxi before, he forgot to ask him about this matter. After all, this is the key to Samsung's success in the future, and Jester Sturt also recently heard that several silicon crystal plants of Texas Instruments seem to want to move to Asia. The first choice is Wanwan. The person contacted is Wang Yongqing of Formosa Plastics, a powerful figure in Wanwan's business world. However, according to reports As far as Jester knew, Wang Yongqing didn't seem to care much about this matter. Wang Yongqing was now obsessed with winning the Liuqing project from the crooked government.

However, Zhang Zhongmou of TSMC is very interested. He is looking for an acquaintance to contact Texas Instruments and wants to cooperate with Texas Instruments.

Samsung naturally has its own wafer factory, but their wafer factory is definitely far inferior to Texas Instruments, and Jester also knows the importance of wafers, which are almost the foundation of electronic technology. Therefore, after he heard about this matter, he was also very interested. He asked someone to ask Texas Instruments about it, and Texas Instruments said that it was indeed true.

Jester even misunderstood Texas Instruments, thinking that Jester, a wealthy man, wanted to make wafers, and even sent a CEO-level person to meet with Jester in person.

However, after Jester explained that this was just a misunderstanding, Texas Instruments stated that their initial plan was to move their wafer fabs to Asia and then build the world's most advanced wafer processing facility. Factory, when Jester wanted to ask if there was any hope in mainland China, Texas Instruments regretfully said that it was impossible. The federal government would not allow them to carry out such a high-tech and sophisticated project as wafers. Transfer it there.

It would have been okay if the two sides were in the honeymoon period before, but now with the reform of the Soviet Union, although China and the United States still have good relations on the surface, they are far less harmonious than they were a few years ago.

What about South Korea?

Faced with Jester's question, Texas Instruments did not hesitate at all. They nodded seriously and said that it was absolutely fine in Korea. Then Jester made a plea to Texas Instruments in a private capacity, He hopes that you will not reach an agreement with TSMC first, because he has a person in South Korea who is far more powerful than TSMC and is also very interested in wafer production.

Texas Instruments also knew that Jester was the executive director of Samsung, so it naturally thought of Samsung.

There is no doubt that compared to TSMC, Samsung is obviously a more comfortable partner for them, so Texas Instruments agreed to Jester's request. (To be continued...)
