Reborn: From arcade game to business empire

Later, someone specifically analyzed Apu.

How to say, this person has a strong performative personality, mainly manifested as the behavior is dramatic, that is, his experience is always extraordinary, and the behavior reflects exposed emotions, actively attracts the attention of others, willfully and unsatisfactorily seeks approval and stimulation; Mood is fickle, sometimes excited, sometimes angry, throwing tantrums over a little thing.

Comrade Apu’s favorite thing is to make ostentatious words, throw the pot, interrupt others’ speeches, and highlight his importance on all occasions and brag about himself.

Both before he became the Grand Commander and after he became the Grand Commander.

This time, as soon as he heard that he was about to become a guest commentator, Apu immediately began to move, and almost instantly, countless words were already prepared in his heart.

Just wait for yourself to explain on stage so that the world can notice you.

In this way, their own business can become bigger and bigger.

Fame is a great help to your own business.

It doesn’t matter if the reputation is good or bad.

For Apu, it doesn’t matter.

However, the official also made a request to Apu, at least until the start of the game, Apu can not reveal any news, to which Apu is also completely OK.

December 22, 1971.

In the second edition, the K race was officially held in North America, and the scene of the competition was in a stadium in North America.

For a whole year, in fact, the technology of arcade machines has been improved a lot, and in order to avoid lag as much as possible during live broadcasts.

Time, minute by minute, is the time of the game.

Island nation, Kyoto

At this moment, Sony’s founder and president Akio Morita is also watching TV intently.

Although he is imitating Lin Mu’s arcade machine, but deep down, Akio Morita also has to admit that Lin Mu is indeed a genius and can actually design such a product as an arcade machine.

It is also possible to host such a global series of competitions.

When he was in the island country last time, Akio Morita had a hunch that arcade machines were bound to become popular all over the world.

Subsequently, Sony began the road of imitation.

In fact, imitation, this is not a problem for Sony, in the 50s of the 20th century, Sony began to imitate, radio, and subsequently, developed a portable semiconductor radio that can fit in a pocket, the product sold up to 1.5 million units after its launch, most of which were sold to the American market.

From imitation to technological upgrading, become your own thing.

This has always been the route that Sony has took.

Since thirteen years ago, Sony has also begun to develop televisions, but although the black-and-white TVs are selling well, their technical competitiveness is not superior, and the quality control of the color TV mass products manufactured since then is not satisfactory, resulting in huge losses and pushing the company to the brink of bankruptcy.

In 1967, Sony released the Trilon image tube technology, which was personally developed by Inobuchi Dai, which made Sony TVs sell well around the world, and Akio Morita’s huge development debt borrowed from the island development bank was able to be repaid within three years.

Sony’s stock also soared on the Kyoto Stock Exchange.

However, for the current technology is not very mature, Morita Akio does not want to enter the US market so quickly, at least until his own technology is mature, and then launch.

The board can ignore Sony’s brand image, but Akio Morita must take this into account.

However, although Akio Morita has a good idea, the board of directors is a little impatient, because the market in the United States is too big, and after their judgment, this is completely a profitable transaction.

The profit brought in every year is an astronomical amount.

There is no denying that Akio Morita was moved.

This huge profit, anyone should be moved by it.

Sony has to compete, and the sooner the better.

For Lin Mu, Akio Morita is still more impressed, but this is also a competitor, a competitor that he must defeat.

The TV is on

The moment he saw Apu, Akio Morita was stunned, and at this moment, he didn’t even know why Apu appeared on the guest stage.

A sense of foreboding instantly enveloped Akio Morita’s heart.

And Apu’s performative personality is also completely exposed at this moment.

Then, I heard Apu speak triumphantly: “Ladies and gentlemen, we meet again, I am Apu!” ”

The narrator on the side said politely: “Welcome Apu, Apu, have you ever thought that you will meet the audience from all over the world here!” ”

“Of course!” Drawing his favorite accordion triumphantly, Apu said, “Actually, I was surprised, but I’m pretty sure that someone would dislike my presence here!” ”

Without even deliberate guidance, Comrade Apu took the initiative to pull the topic in this direction: “Know what? This time our arcade machines are all Sony’s, not Xiangjiang’s, the island country and our United States are also good friends for more than ten years, the relationship between the United States and the island country is perfect, we should use their technology, not Xiangjiang’s! ”

Airplanes!

Akio Morita suddenly felt as if his brain had been hit hard by someone, and the whole person was dumbfounded.

Can Sony’s arcade run the King of Fighters?

Isn’t this a joke?

Akio Morita swallowed fiercely, and in an instant, he thought of Lin Mu’s coping strategy, didn’t you secretly imitate my arcade machine? Don’t you have to say that your skills are better than mine?

I’ll let you make a face in front of the whole world.

Let you lose face and lose the whole world!

Almost frantically grabbed the phone on the table, quickly dialed a phone number, and roared in an almost roaring voice: “Let Apu, shut up, shut up, shut up for me immediately!” ”

However, it was too late!

The signal from the United States to the island country is delayed, in other words, when Akio Morita saw that Apu was bragging and advocating friendship between the United States and the island country, disaster had already happened.

The game has begun!

However, just as the game was running, the graphics froze.

At this moment, the lens is aimed at the screen.

Colorful pictures, but the game stopped.

For a moment, Apu was stunned, and the smile on his face froze, and for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

Similarly, it was not only Apu who was stunned, but also the hundreds of millions of spectators around the world who did not know that they were watching the game.

This time the global finals were a catastrophic performance.
