Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

October 20, Los Angeles trade show.

Early in the morning, Lin Baicheng, Eric Davis and others went to Phil Trading Company, met up with Phil Smith and others, and headed to the venue of the exhibition together.

The Los Angeles trade fair has been held for many years and has already reached a certain scale. Due to the numerous industries, tens of thousands of people come every time, making it a rare event.

Among these people, there are staff from the organizer, employees from product suppliers, agents from various countries, workers from related industries, journalists, and the largest number of tourists.

Because the industries are different, those in the same industry will be grouped together. Lin Baicheng and others went to the exhibition hall where the electronic game exhibition area was located.

The game industry market is not small and the industry is prosperous, so the exhibition area allocated to it is quite good.

However, Galaxy Games was just an unknown game company from Xiangjiang, so the place it was assigned to was not big. Lin Baicheng was mentally prepared for this, but when he got to the place, he realized that it was really small enough.

Not counting the space left for walking, the exhibition hall can only accommodate about ten arcade machines. If there were any more, it would be too crowded and difficult to walk around.

Lin Baicheng brought 20 units of each of the two games over, only to find out when he arrived that he didn't need so many. Only five units of each game would be enough.

Lin Baicheng asked Eric Davis to communicate with the organizer's staff, but the other party said that the exhibition hall had already been arranged, and there were companies in every place in the exhibition area, so there was no way to replace the Galaxy game with a better one. exhibition hall.

Lin Baicheng had no choice but to accept it.

As a result, Galaxy Games was arranged to a smaller exhibition hall that was relatively remote in the game exhibition area.

In the game exhibition area, the exhibition halls of Atari, Taito Co., Ltd., Nintendo, Sega and other game companies are much larger than that of Galaxy Games. In particular, Atari, which occupies the largest area, is several times the size of the Galaxy Games exhibition hall. .

There is no way, Atari is so awesome in this era. In terms of popularity, it is the most famous game company in the world, although the market value is not that high because the company has only been established for a few years.

The exhibition halls of these game companies make Lin Baicheng extremely envious, but he believes that after the two games "Xiangjiang Cube" and "Pac-Man" become popular, Galaxy Games will no longer be an unknown small company, but a company. The exhibition hall belonging to Galaxy Games next year will definitely be as good as those big companies that are famous all over the world.

In the early years, Nintendo mainly produced toys, so the exhibition halls were all in the toy exhibition area. In recent years, under the leadership of Yamauchi Ura, the company entered the game industry and began to make arcade machines. In order to promote the game company, the exhibition hall was moved to the game exhibition area.

This year, in addition to bringing several arcade games, Nintendo also brought the latest color TV games. This is a home TV game developed in cooperation with Mitsubishi Electric. It has a collection of 6 simple versions of tennis games. This time it brings I came here to see if I could gain anything from the trade show.

As the Los Angeles trade fair is held only once a year, President Yamauchi Ura also attended the event in person to conduct the show.

"Uncle Yamauchi!"

While Yamauchiura was busy giving instructions, a somewhat familiar greeting sounded. He turned around and found Miyamoto Soo, who had left his job a while ago and went to work in Xiangjiang.

Miyamoto's father, Miyamoto Sr., and Yamauchiura have been friends for many years, so as a junior, Miyamoto naturally came to say hello after seeing Yamauchiura. However, because he had worked at Nintendo for a period of time before, and it was Lin Baicheng who hired him from Nintendo to Galaxy Games, he greeted Lin Baicheng before coming over, and Lin Baicheng did not stop him from coming.

"Little Miyamoto!"

Yamauchiura was a little surprised to see Miyamoto Sou, and he said: "I remember that you went to work at Galaxy Games over in Xiangjiang. So, your company is also coming to participate in the exhibition this year."

Although Galaxy Games poached Miyamoto, Yamauchi Ura, who did not think much of Miyamoto, did not remember the company because of this, and he soon forgot about the company.

However, it is impossible for Nintendo not to pay attention to Taito Co., Ltd., the largest gaming company in the country. Therefore, when Taito Co., Ltd.’s game "Xiangjiang Cube" became a hit, Yamauchiura immediately asked people to investigate and learned that it was Taito Co., Ltd. Exclusive agent for a game from Xiangjiang.

After further investigation, the company Galaxy Games was naturally found. Yamauchi Ura also remembered that this company poached Miyamoto So, and then he remembered this game company from Hong Kong.

"Yes, Uncle Yamauchi."

Miyamoto responded, pointing in the direction of the company's exhibition hall and said: "Our company's exhibition hall is over there, but the company's reputation is not comparable to that of Nintendo. The exhibition hall is relatively remote and smaller."

"Every new company encounters this problem."

Yamauchiura was not surprised by this. He asked curiously: "Miyamoto, your company should have brought the game "Xiangjiang Cube" to the exhibition this time, right? In addition to this game, you also brought Are there any other games coming?”

"There's also a game called Pac-Man."

Miyamoto Sou didn't hide anything when he heard this. After all, the company had already brought the game to the exhibition for promotion. He said: "This game was developed by the president himself. It is different from the previous black and white games and makes arcade games more unique." It comes in a variety of colors and the gameplay is very novel, I believe it will be popular.”

"Is it also a color game? It seems that everyone has thought of it together."

Yamauchiura couldn't help but feel moved after hearing this. The home TV games he brought this time were also color game consoles, but this was the first time that a game that applied color to an arcade machine appeared. Nintendo was originally planning to use color in its next latest arcade game, but now it seems that someone has jumped the gun.

"Hearing what you said makes me a little curious."

Yamauchiura really wanted to see this colorful arcade game, but he couldn't leave here for the time being. He couldn't leave his showroom and products alone. He could only find time to go there when he was free.

Miyamoto Sou stayed here for a while and found out that Yamauchiura was busy, so she said goodbye and left.

In the exhibition hall of Galaxy Games, Lin Baicheng found out that Miyamoto had returned. He did not ask what Miyamoto and Yamauchiura had talked about. Instead, he asked Miyamoto not to leave for a while and to play on the arcade as a gamer. game.

After all, he is the developer of the game. Miyamoto has played the game "Pac-Man" more than once and is barely considered a master. As an expert player, he will show off the various ways of playing the game and invite people to play the game. To make a comparison, this is not all done to attract tourists.
