Chapter 185 After my flowers bloom, hundreds of flowers will be killed! ! ! (Please subscribe)
In the 1980s, the RB economy seemed to be in jeopardy. It was so unbelievable that it created an economic myth. RB people even threatened to buy the entire United States!
In the mid-to-late 1980s, RB bought two-thirds of the luxury hotels, a large number of buildings, large restaurants, shopping malls, golf courses, livestock farms and plantations in the Hawaii Beach area. Among the millions of tourists who visit Hawaii every year, RB people account for 1/5. Many Americans are deeply worried about another RB attack on Hawaii. The mayor of Honolulu exclaimed: "Honolulu will soon become a district of Tokyo." Hawaii has become a "paradise" for RB people to vacation and recuperate, like a "new colony."
The continental United States is also in danger everywhere, and cities have been lost one after another.
Mitsubishi Corporation invested US$846 million to acquire 51% of the shares of Rockefeller Center in New York, which is known as the "symbol of wealth" and "the symbol of America" in the United States; Sony spent US$3.4 billion to buy the good hotel known as the "Soul of America" Levu's Columbia Pictures; Panasonic invested $6.1 billion to acquire Universal Pictures; the ABC Building fell; the Citibank headquarters building changed its flag; the Mobile Oil Company headquarters building fell...
Professor Ezra F. Vogel, a well-known expert on RB issues at Harvard University in the United States, published a research monograph called "Japan as Number One". As soon as the book was published, it immediately caused a sensation in the United States. It became one of the best-selling books in the United States that year. From ordinary American citizens and scholars to congressmen, government officials and even soldiers in the Pentagon, everyone rushed to read it, and the American media also hyped it up.
In order to cope with the challenge from RB, the United States adopted the policy of dollar depreciation to increase the export competitiveness of its products and improve the imbalance of the United States' international balance of payments, which was the Plaza Accord signed in 1985. In fact, the dollar has been depreciating since the 1970s...
For Li Zetian, if RB people want to buy the United States, he must buy RB!
Use the yen earned from the game to invest in RB real estate and wait until one or two years before the real estate bubble bursts before selling it! The RB real estate bubble is very serious. The real estate value of RB Tokyo alone is equivalent to that of the entire United States. This is simply too exaggerated! ! !
It would be unreasonable for Li Zetian not to take advantage of the opportunity to make a profit.
At this time, the news of the contact between Flamingo Company and RB's retailers was spread, and the media were surprised that Flamingo Company actually chose RB as the place to launch the game console.
American newspapers and public opinion expressed dissatisfaction with this. It is obviously an American company, why did it choose RB to release the game console?
The RB media is very proud.
"RB's economy is developing rapidly. RB people are richer and have stronger purchasing power than Americans. The fact that Flamingo Company chose RB to release its game console undoubtedly illustrates the strength of RB's economy!!!" Some experts and professors trumpeted.
United States, Warner Bros.
"Mr. Kevin Smith, Flamingo Company releases the game console in RB, what do you think about this?"
"Opinion? Oh, that's so funny!"
Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Smith laughed loudly, "Obviously, Flamingo was afraid of Sunbird and didn't dare to face the enemy head-on, so they went to RB. In the United States, Atari 2600 occupies a large market share In some markets, no third-party game developers are willing to develop games for Flamingo. In RB, Atari 2600 has the largest market share, but it does not have the same influence as in the United States. Therefore, RB third-party game development Maybe the dealer is willing to develop games for Flamingo Company! Humph, I thought Flamingo Company was so powerful, and I vowed to challenge Sunbird Company’s status before, but I didn’t expect that it turned out to be a coward!”
The media embellished these remarks and made them into newspaper headlines, causing an uproar within the industry.
Media reporters came to Flamingo Company one after another to interview CEO Nolan Bushnell.
"Mr. Bushnell, why did Flamingo launch its game console in RB first? Is it like Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Smith said, Flamingo was afraid of Sunbird and didn't dare to challenge, so it went to RB Are you there?" reporters asked one after another.
Nolan Bushnell looked very calm and said calmly: "That's not the case. This is just a strategy of the company. The RB game market is second only to the United States. The Flamingo Company attaches great importance to the RB market, so it considers it first. Release the game on RB.”
"Mr. Bushnell, you said it yourself, the United States is the largest game market? Is there something wrong with Flamingo's strategy? Or is Flamingo, as Kevin Smith said, a coward? Dare to challenge Sunbird head-on?"
Nolan Bushnell frowned. It annoyed him that these reporters kept chasing the same question.
At this time, Li Zetian walked out of the company.
As soon as the reporters saw him, they rushed forward one after another, holding microphones, and wanted to interview him.
Li Zetian said calmly: "If you want to fight, we will fight. After Christmas, Sunbird Company will be removed from the list of dominant players in the gaming industry!!!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole place was in an uproar!
Removed from the list of gaming industry overlords! ! !
What a loud tone!
Everyone looked at Li Zetian in surprise and wanted to continue interviewing him, but he had already turned around and walked into the company!
It doesn't matter, that sentence just now is powerful enough to make headlines!
On that day, major American media quoted Li Zetian's words.
As soon as the newspaper came out, the industry was shocked.
Warner Bros. CEO Kevin Smith couldn't help being furious after reading the newspaper!
"Okay, well, let's wait and see!!!" Kevin Smith laughed angrily and ordered Sunbird Company to speed up game development. It must develop 20 games before Christmas to block Flamingo Company. At the same time, an ultimatum was issued to all third-party game developers. Anyone who dares to develop games for Flamingo Company will be banned! ! !
As soon as the banning order came out, most third-party game developers were frightened. Although they were very unhappy, they naturally did not dare to disobey the order because of the power of Warner Bros.!
There is no airtight wall in the world, and Warner Bros.’s banning order was quickly reported.
The reporters came to Flamingo Company again.
Nolan Bushnell said in an interview: "Hello, fellow reporters, here, without saying much, I will tell you an ancient Chinese poem that Chronos Li once said! He said, 'Wait until autumn comes nine. On the eighth day of the month, I will bloom and kill all the flowers!' Warner Bros. thinks that Sunbird is the competitor of Flamingo. In fact, we don't take it seriously. After the release of Flamingo game console, not only Ya Dali 2600 and all game consoles on the market will be reduced to garbage and waste!!!"
The reporters were all stunned. I dare say Flamingo Company doesn’t take any of its competitors seriously!
So awesome? !
After the release of the Flamingo game console, will all other game consoles be reduced to garbage and scrap?
Damn it, this tone is so shocking!
Not long after, the news reached Kevin Smith's ears, and his face suddenly turned red with anger.
"Chronos·Li is simply talking nonsense. Why does Flamingo Company dare to challenge the world's game consoles?"
As for why?
Kevin Smith learned that quickly.
On November 1st, the Flamingo-1 family game console was fully launched on RB. At the same time, "Super Mario", "Contra", "Tank Battle", "Double Dragon", "Saloman" were also released. Snake", "Metroid", "The Legend of Zelda", "Pac-Man", "Donkey Kong", "Super Arkanoid" and "Chinese Cube", a total of 11 games. The first 7 games are all new, and the last 4 games have been improved, with better-looking graphics and more fun.
First of all, the performance of the Flamingo-1 game console exceeds that of all game consoles on the market, and the graphics are excellent; secondly, the 11 games released are classics, and each game makes players unable to put it down, and they have never played it before. After playing such a fun game, it seemed like overnight, the game world opened a door and entered a new era.
Once the Flamingo-1 game console was released, it immediately caused a sensation in RB. Countless RB players went crazy for it and rushed to buy it.
There are almost tens of meters long queues in front of all stores, especially in Akihabara, which is the most shocking.
Akihabara is the most famous electrical street in RB, with thousands of electronic stores. At this moment, it is overcrowded and the roads are crowded. This is the first time this has happened in Akihabara's history. It is simply shocking.
In addition, Flamingo Company has also published various game novels and comics, further stimulating players' shopping enthusiasm and interest!
At the end of the day, the Flamingo Company announced its sales, selling 1.05 million Flamingo-1 game consoles, 9.55 million game cartridges, 3.6 million game novels and 660 game comics.
As soon as the news came out, the entire gaming industry couldn't help but be in an uproar.
Both extremely shocked and horrified!
Nolan Bushnell, CEO of Flamingo Company, said: "Since it is the first day of the release of the game console, many RB players have not received the news, otherwise the sales will be more. However, there is no doubt that with the popularity of the game, With good word of mouth, the sales in the next few days will be more than the first day!”
Warner Bros. naturally received the news immediately. CEO Kevin Smith showed an expression of disbelief. He even repeatedly asked "whether the news is true" three times. When he learned that the news was accurate, his expression was slumped and he fell down on his chair.
Atari 2600 only sold over 200,000 units at most during the Christmas promotion, and the best sales in RB were only 50,000 units a day. This is a world of difference compared to the Flamingo-1 game console.
Not to mention how RB newspapers are reporting on the Flamingo company at the moment, the headlines in American newspapers have already written: "Flamingos are popular in RB, Sunbird's demise is imminent!!!"
