Chapter 2100: Arcade Game

This company is small in scale, with not many employees, less than 30 people, half of them are ordinary young workers, responsible for labor work such as assembling machine frames; Other electronics factories offer high-priced skilled workers who are responsible for technical tasks such as soldering chips.

This Li Xuan is quite a talent. He is a top student who graduated from Hong Kong Chinese University. He and his brother started a business together when they were studying in school. They started this company, specializing in the sale of pirated Japanese arcade games. At the beginning, it was very popular for a while. , but later, because Xiangjiang's management of patents and copyrights became more and more strict, and the society squeezed it, the company's life became more and more difficult, and now it has reached the point where it has to sell the company.

Most of the arcade halls in Xiangjiang are under the control of major associations. They make pirated games to reduce costs for the associations, but also let the associations see the benefits inside, so while cooperating, they continue to squeeze them and use various means Wanting to take this factory for himself, although Li Ke used to be a member of the club, he was a short mule and couldn't speak in front of the boss.

And Li Xuan is just a scholar, so there is nothing wrong with asking him to fiddle with professional and technical matters, but he is not good at dealing with the relationship with the club, so the company has fallen to this point.

"Mr. Fang, even though our company is not big, our strength is quite good. These technicians are veterans, and they are very good at soldering chips. Ordinary people can't do it well if they don't learn for a month. If you are not careful, you may damage the chip or the circuit board, and the loss will be huge." Li Xuan explained to Shen Long.

"Well, not bad, not bad." Shen Long nodded while watching, "Your company's equipment and staff skills are good, and indeed have investment value. It's a pity that you just give up like this."

"Hey, there's nothing we can do if we don't give up. It's hard to do pirated games now, the government is strictly investigating, and those social...arcade halls keep lowering prices, making our profits getting lower and lower, and we can hardly survive. " Li Ke sighed, he actually wanted to say that the club was here just now, but he was afraid of scaring Shen Long, so he quickly changed his words, he still wanted to sell the company.

"I've read it almost, let's go inside and talk!" After looking around, Shen Long and Ruan Mei went to their brothers' office, "How do you want to sell the company?"

"Mr. Fang, we have invested a total of more than two million Hong Kong dollars in this company, renting factories, purchasing machines, and recruiting talents. It took five years to bring the company to its current level. Now because of family problems, we have to To be honest, we are also reluctant to sell it." Speaking of these, the brothers were a little sad.

"Mr. Li, that's not how the accounts are calculated. Many of your machines are too old to be used anymore. I can't spend money on garbage, right? When I buy your company, I have to invest in new equipment... Also, I I heard that several associations want to take over your company, and I will have to bear their pressure for you in the future, which is all cost!" Shen Long began to bargain.

"That's all right,

I give you two choices! "After a few rounds between you and me, Shen Long revealed his own conditions, "Either, I will give you three million, and you leave the company to me; In the company, I will leave you 5% of the shares, and you will continue to manage the company. "One of these two is good at technology, and the other is good at dealing with all kinds of people in society. They are both good talents.

"Mr. Shen, we don't know what to do if we stay in the company?" Li Xuan was a little confused. The pirated game business couldn't go on, and he didn't have a clue about other businesses. To sell the company.

"Don't worry about this. Pirated games are not allowed. We can make genuine games. Who said that only Japanese and Americans can develop games? Heung Kong has also accumulated a lot of electronic talents over the years, with this foundation." In fact, Hongkong's electronics industry is developing well.

In 1959, Sony Japan opened the first local radio factory through a Xiangjiang company, producing 4,000 radios per month. The budding of Xiangjiang’s electronics industry began here; by 1960, there were three radio factories in Xiangjiang, and in 1961 Increased to 12, and in May 1962 to 14.

At the same time, several well-known American electronics companies set up factories in Xiangjiang to assemble discrete components, such as magnetic core storage components, diodes, transistors and capacitors, etc., which promoted the rapid development of Xiangjiang's electronics industry; There were only 4 factories. In 1970, the number had become 230, and the number of employed workers also increased from 183 to 38,000.

In the 1970s, large-scale integrated circuits came out, and the products of computers and electronic watches grew rapidly. More foreign capital set up factories in Hong Kong, bringing more "treasures" - advanced technology and equipment for assembling integrated circuits, electronic watches, speaker equipment, computers, televisions and other electronic products, making Hong Kong's electronics industry the first One development**.

By 1980, the number of electronic factories in Hong Kong had increased to 1,316, the number of employees had reached 93,000, and the export value had reached HK$13.417 billion. At this time, it had accounted for 12.2% of the total export value of Hong Kong, becoming the second largest industry in Hong Kong; in 1981, semiconductor radios China's export volume exceeds that of the United States and West Germany, ranking first in the world.

At its peak, the export value of Xiangjiang's electronics industry once accounted for a quarter of the total output value of Xiangjiang's manufacturing industry. The reason why Xiangjiang's electronics industry can develop so rapidly is because Hong Kong is a free port, import and export are not taxed, and the treatment is preferential; Hong Kong has many channels , well-informed; there are many small factories and flexible actions. The manufacturing time of a new electronic product takes 8 months in the United States, 5 months in Japan, and less than 3 months in Xiangjiang on average. Flexibility has been achieved in the fierce international competition. Advantage.

Therefore, there is a foundation to engage in the electronics industry in Xiangjiang, and there is hope to do well. Unfortunately, due to weak financial strength and inability to develop new technologies, basic components can only be imported, which is greatly affected by the international situation, as well as inflation and skyrocketing land prices. Affected by the reasons, Xiangjiang electronics industry eventually went into decline.

However, since Shen Long is here, he will definitely change this situation, and his acquisition of this small company is the first step. As soon as he comes up, he intends to change the disadvantage of the Xiangjiang electronics industry's weak research and development capabilities, and use the development of new products to compete with Japan. , American businessmen compete for the market.

"Mr. Fang, the development of new games is not an easy task. We have also tried, but all failed." Li Xuan did not believe that Shen Long could do this.

"You can take a look and talk! Amei, pass me my bag."
