Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

After the meal, the two of them didn’t have to fight over the lunch box, as it would definitely belong to Chen Zhonghua.

Having some free time, Sun Zhengguo wanted to take a rest, but as he was too full, he decided to go for a walk to help digest the food.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he stood up, patting his thigh, "Oh, right, let's go play games."

This activity not only helps digestion, but also helps check for leaks, it really kills two birds with one stone.

He left as soon as he said he would, then went downstairs and went straight to the laboratory.

But before he entered the laboratory, when he was still some distance away from the door, he heard bursts of noise coming from inside.

"Turn, yes, yes, and fall down quickly."

"Oops! It went off course. It's all your fault for giving wrong instructions."

……

Hearing these familiar voices, Sun Zhengguo smiled, shook his head, and walked quickly into the laboratory.

But the next second, he was stunned. What did he see?

Li Shengli and Zhang Huaibei, two old men in their fifties, were each occupying a game console. They were shaking the joysticks and shouting like children.

There was a group of people nearby waving flags and cheering.

The remaining game console was occupied by Zhou Weimin, and the situation was not much better.

My two younger brothers were also watching the fun.

Seeing this, Sun Zhengguo didn't feel comfortable running over to Li Shengli, mainly because he was afraid of embarrassing them. Instead, he walked over to his brother-in-law and asked a question.

"Is it fun?"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Weimin was so engrossed in the fun that he didn't even look at who the person was. He didn't even raise his head and replied subconsciously.

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If it's not fun, I can come and play."

After saying this, Zhou Weimin felt something was wrong. This voice sounded so familiar!

Only then did he look up and was immediately embarrassed. He quickly handed the game to Sun Zhengan who was watching on the side.

"Zhengan, come here."

But when Sun Zhengan saw his elder brother coming, he didn't feel comfortable taking over and pushed it to his cousin.

"Zhengnan, come here!"

"okay!"

Sun Zhengnan didn't know what being polite was. He waited for a long time and finally got the chance to thank his elder brother for coming.

Sun Zhengguo just looked at them with a smile without saying a word, which made Zhou Weimin feel a little nervous.

"Director, I didn't know it was you who came. You won't be angry, right?"

"How could that be? Am I so unkind?"

Sun Zhengguo still had a smile on his face. "Weimin, Zhengan, I remember you were not optimistic about this game at first. Do you still think so now?"

"Hehehe!" Zhou Weimin smiled embarrassedly, "Director, I didn't even know what a game was at the beginning, so I was a little arbitrary and made a subjective mistake.

However, after testing it myself over the past two days, I found that this game console is indeed quite magical. It always makes people think about it. If you don’t play a few games when you have nothing to do, you will always feel uncomfortable. I believe that the game console will definitely be a hot seller.”

"Yes, yes!" Sun Zhengan continued.

"I feel the same way. If I don't play a few games a day, I always feel like something is missing. Is this the game addiction you mentioned, brother?"

Sun Zhengguo smiled and said, "You can also call this game addiction. At best, you just want to play. Real game addiction is like going crazy. If you can't play for a while, you can use a knife to kill people."

He was not talking nonsense, because there were many such cases in later generations.

"Director, since games are so harmful, why should we develop them so vigorously?" Zhou Weimin started to dwell on the issue again.

Because at that time the Chinese people's thoughts were relatively pure, as long as they identified something as bad, they would despise it even if it made a lot of money.

This is just like the Northern Dynasties in later generations. In order to unify the people's thoughts, they would even close the country to the outside world.

"Yes! Brother, do you think that if the game console is launched on the market, will anyone criticize us?" Sun Zhengan's face was also full of worry.

After all, everyone is living a good life now, and he doesn't want to suffer.

"Okay, stop imagining things. If we don't produce, others will. Instead of letting them make money, why don't we make it ourselves?

This is like a gun. Just because it can kill people, should we stop producing it? You should learn to think in reverse and not just follow what others say…”

Sun Zhengguo's long speech left the two speechless.

There are definitely dangers caused by gaming consoles, but there is no need to worry in China for the time being.

One reason is that the policy does not allow it and it is difficult for private individuals to operate it. The other reason is that it is too expensive and no one can afford it.

Therefore, there is no need to worry now. As for the future, I believe that seeing its ability to make money, no one will be willing to let it go.

After chatting for a while, Sun Zhengguo finally remembered the purpose of his visit.

So, under Sun Zhengnan's resentful look, he forcibly took over the game console and played it a few times before leaving with satisfaction.

During this process, the two old guys, Li Shengli and Zhang Huaibei, didn't even move out of their nests and always occupied the game consoles.

Others are angry but dare not speak out, which shows how great the charm of this thing is.

……

Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. During this period, the Great Wall blocks have undergone many repairs and have been completely finalized and can be mass-produced.

Zhou Weimin immediately prepared to purchase production equipment, some of which could be purchased domestically.

Although these machines themselves are not very good, they are usable.

Some machines are not available in China, so we can only trouble the Fok family in Hong Kong to purchase them on our behalf.

The last part is the main screen of the game console. Because it is in color, we cannot produce it ourselves and can only find someone to do it for us.

There is only one factory in the country that has such processing capabilities, and that is the Jinling Radio Factory.

That day, Zhou Weimin hurried into Sun Zhengguo's office with a few pages of information in his hand.

"Director, we have contacted the Jinling Radio Factory, but the production volume cannot be increased. Please take a look. Here are the specific data."

"Oh~!"

Sun Zhengguo quickly took the information and read it quickly.

As he became more and more in-depth about the content, his brows couldn't help but frown, and finally he put the information down.

"Wei Min, we can only produce 10,000 main screens a year. Are you sure you're not kidding?"

"Director, there is nothing we can do. We have already sent someone to investigate. Their factory still has the task of producing color TVs, so they can only provide so many. Otherwise, we should decide first. Ten thousand sets is not a small number."

"No."

Sun Zhengguo immediately reached out to interrupt because he knew what was going on.

If the game console is to be really popular after it is launched on the market, the production volume must be at least 30 units a year, which is a huge difference.

Zhou Weimin definitely didn't know this, he thought it was just a small fight!

"Wei Min, you can send someone to negotiate again. Just order as much as you can. I'll figure out the rest."

"Okay, I'll send someone over right away."

"Hurry up and do it! The sooner we decide on it, the sooner we can start production."

Sun Zhengguo’s plan is very simple. He will start stockpiling goods now and will launch the game console on the market only when the backlog reaches a certain amount.
