I became the richest man in the world after losing my life in a vegetative state.

June 1980.

In addition to the Imperial Group spending huge sums of money to acquire the Xiangjiang Mass Transit Railway Company and completely controlling land transportation in Xiangjiang, it also caused concern among Xiangjiang real estate developers.

Li Xiaozhao, chairman of Xiangjiang TVB, died of a heart attack.

After his death, Sir Yang, chairman of the Empire Group, paid homage in person at the funeral parlor. After seeing him for the last time, it also aroused a huge reaction from the Chinese capital in Hong Kong.

Not long after, Li Xiaozhao's death was settled.

Shao Yifu, the boss of Shaw Brothers Film and Television, general manager of TVB, and TVB shareholder, successfully served as the second chairman of TVB with the support of TVB's major shareholders, especially Lu Yanqun.

In other words, from then on, TVB began to enter the era of Shao Yifu.

These were all expected by Yang Ming, and he ignored them.

Yang Ming ignored Huang Xizhao's plan to start a war with Shao Yifu.

at this time.

The time has come to the end of June.

1980 6 Month 27 Day.

Friday.

The Empire Group conference room is about to hold a press conference on this year’s new Empire Games products.

This press conference was announced a week ago.

Because it is rumored that a home game console that will shock the world is about to appear.

This news has attracted the attention of many reporters and gamers.

Regarding the Famicom game console and the first game for the Famicom, "Super Mario Bros.", will also be launched.

Hosting this new product launch conference were Imperial Games Design Director Tomohiro Nisikado, Product Director Masato Matsushita, Marketing Director Akio Nakanishi, and Sales Director Fujiwara Akiyoshi.

In addition to these Japanese people, people like Tang Shilian from the Imperial Group attended this new product launch.

Yang Ming was in the chairman's office and he had no plans to attend.

Lin Xiuzhi had already poured him coffee.

9:00am.

Imperial Group Conference Room.

By this time, hundreds of reporters had arrived.

There are male and female reporters from all major newspapers and magazines.

Because there are often lottery opportunities after the new product launches of Empire Games, which makes these reporters very motivated.

Now Tomohiro Nishikado, Akio Nakanishi, and Masato Matsushita, the longer these Japanese people live in Hong Kong, the more different they look from the Japanese people in Tokyo.

One side raises one person.

Many people will gradually become Asians after living in the East.

It is caused by various local reasons.

The same goes for Nisikado Tomohiro and others. They basically live in Xiangjiang. Their food and clothing are indeed more and more similar to other Xiangjiang people.

"Dear journalists, this new product launch will be of epoch-making significance."

Compared with the handheld console released by Imperial Group last year.

The red and white consoles developed this year seem to be even more epoch-making to Nishiko Tomohiro.

This is the third generation of home game consoles in the world.

Tomohiro Nisikado introduced the Famicom in detail at the press conference.

When those reporters saw this small and exquisite home game console, they were really shocked.

Except for red and white machines.

Also, there’s that “Super Mario Bros.”

Historically, this game has become very popular around the world, and almost many people like it very much after being exposed to it.

Today, Tomohiro Nisikado uses the Famicom to play Super Mario Bros.

Many reporters were attracted again.

These reporters have been amazed by the Famicom and Super Mario Bros.

What they are most concerned about now is the price of the Famicom and this game.

"Director Tomohiro Nisikado, do you know how much the Famicom costs?"

Famicom price?

Historically, this game console was launched on the market. On July 1983, 7, Nintendo launched the Famicom, priced at 15 yen in Japan.

At this time, the Japanese yen was in a state of appreciation, with about 250 yen equal to 1 U.S. dollar floating around. According to the historical exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the yen in 1983, the price of Nintendo was about 75 U.S. dollars.

Converted to the current exchange rate between US dollars and Japanese yen, it is 18750 yen.

This is the price that Nintendo ordered, and it is also this high-quality and low-price price. From then on, Nintendo almost monopolized the global game console hardware.

In this case, Yang Ming can learn from Ren Tiantang.

In other words, the main purpose of home game consoles is to promote them to most families around the world, which means that many families can afford them.

If it is too expensive, ordinary people cannot afford it.

In addition, the main purpose is to earn money through gaming.

Nintendo's genuine game cartridges are not cheap. For example, "Super Mario Bros." is priced at US$65 globally, which is almost the same as the price of the Famicom.

A red and white console can be played as long as it has cartridges from different game consoles.

Even games developed by other game companies can be played on the NES as long as the game cartridge specifications are the same.

It is through this method that Ren Tiantang completely monopolized game hardware and brought a lot of income to Ren Tiantang.

I saw many reporters were very excited and wanted to ask about the price of a red and white machine.

Tomohiro Nisikado said: "I won't let you guess. This Famicom is sold in Japan for 18750 yen, and in Hong Kong and even around the world, it is priced at US$75."

$75 apiece?

Many reporters were once again shocked.

Compared with Empire Games’ handheld console, which costs 30 US dollars per unit, the price of a red and white console is now a bit more expensive. In terms of game console hardware, it is actually very worthwhile.

Because Empire Games can't make much money in terms of hardware.

"The price of this game "Super Mario Bros." is uniformly $69."

$69 for a game cartridge?

It's neither expensive nor cheap.

If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would cost four to five hundred Hong Kong dollars.

Compared with the US$6500 arcade machine previously released by Empire Group Games, this is indeed much cheaper.

It should still be affordable for many consumers around the world.

This year’s Empire Games new product launch conference is over.

When those lucky draw winners win a Famicom or a "Super Mario" game cartridge worth several hundred Hong Kong dollars, they leave happily.

Other reporters went back to prepare articles.

The home console and new game "Super Mario Bros." released by Empire Games this time will definitely shock the global gaming community.

Tomohiro Nisikado came to the chairman's office to report to Yang Ming on the new product launch conference.

"Nishikado Tomohiro, well done."

Yang Ming praised.

In terms of games, it is actually very difficult to have a complete monopoly.

If it can occupy the global hardware and game market, then it will be fine for the Imperial Group.

Tomohiro Nisikado leaves.

Yang Ming thought of it.

After the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park was established, the R&D center of Empire Games Company was moved from here to the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park.

For the production of hardware, we are temporarily cooperating with Toyo companies, and will definitely be replaced by the R&D chips of Xiangjiang Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Company in the future.
