Life in a small village with quiet mountains and quiet waters

Chapter 455 Arcade Industry

Gu Siwei is naturally optimistic about the gaming industry, but he is also worried. That is that he is quite good at playing games, but if you ask him to run a gaming company, he really doesn't have that ability.

If we tell the truth, Guan Youpeng is a thousand times better than Gu Siwei in terms of business operations. Sometimes it really depends on your talent when it comes to something. Gu Siwei really has no way to do it by sitting behind his desk. Guan Youpeng can do it for a whole day. Not only can he do it, but he can also do it without much rest for almost a month. It seems that work is his leisure.

"Well then, you will be responsible for the establishment of the game company," Gu Siwei said.

Guan Youpeng listened, thought for a minute, and then said to Gu Siwei: "Boss, I really want to be in charge of the new company, but I am actually not suitable for this position. First, I am not a technical person. This position requires someone with strong skills." Secondly, I am not familiar with the situation in the United States, and in the current game console market, I think the United States will be the most important market in a few years, or even ten years.

Therefore, I think the person in charge of the new game console company must be someone who understands the American market and has a technical background," Guan Youpeng said sincerely.

Gu Siwei clasped his fingers on the table while listening. He was thinking about the new company. Is the US market important?That must be important. It is the largest and most powerful market now. How dare you ignore it?

Even when Gu Siwei came over, the U.S. market was one of the most important markets in the world. The other one was our Greater China Circle. It is said that if you can get one, you can live in peace, and if you get both, you will be in trouble.

But Gu Siwei has a shadow on the American market. The deeds done by these grandsons in future generations are not small. If his side becomes prosperous and someone makes an investigation and confiscates it, then it will no longer be a game!
"We can set up a company in the United States, but it will only be responsible for design. When the time comes, production and other things will have to be done here. American labor is too expensive," Gu Siwei said.

"boss……".

Guan Youpeng was a little anxious after hearing this. He wanted to persuade his boss. At present, it is actually the fastest to design and produce in the United States. If it is to be produced here, first of all, the chips and other chips must be purchased from the United States and shipped to the United States. It has to be assembled here, and the products have to be shipped to the United States. The time spent on the journey is wasted on the road.

Gu Siwei said: "I know what you are worried about, but we are not without advantages. First, our costs are low. Second, we actually have a lot of talents. It may be a little difficult at the beginning. But it will get better after passing this hurdle..."

After Guan Youpeng listened for a long time, he finally understood that his boss was determined to put the game console production plant in Hong Kong.

As a staunch executor, after Guan Youpeng knew that his boss had made the decision, he stopped trying to persuade him and focused on thinking about how to get the factory started as quickly as possible.

"Oh, boss, when I went to the United States this time, I found a young man. Although he is not old, he is very distinctive. I talked with him for a long time, and I think his ideas are very special."

Speaking of which, Guan Youpeng used three specials in a row.

Gu Siwei suddenly became interested and asked, "Do you think he is suitable to be the general manager of our new game company?"

Gu Siwei understood what Guan Youpeng was thinking.

Guan Youpeng was a little hesitant and said: "I don't know, I just think he has great ideas and is different from others. Such a person is either a natural industry leader or a highly intelligent criminal."

"Oh?"

Gu Siwei found it interesting, criminal?We don’t believe that anyone can surpass people like me, who have space in their hands, like Lao Gu.

"Interesting, what's your name?"

"Steve"

"Steve Jobs" Zheng Youpeng said.

puff!
Gu Siwei almost spit out a mouthful of old blood and flew away.

"Who, what did you say his name was?"

Gu Siwei's voice changed a bit.

Guan Youpeng looked at his boss strangely and said, "I met him at Atari. I think this young man is very special. Do you know him too?"

After all, Gu Siwei had talked too much and said, "What a coincidence. I also met him and chatted with him."

"Then what do you think of him? Is he suitable for our new company?" Guan Youpeng immediately perked up after hearing this. He felt that since the boss knew him, he must know how extraordinary this young man was. In that case, this talented young man would become the new company's leader. The person in charge seemed to have nothing wrong with it.

Gu Siwei looked at Guan Youpeng, and then shook his head.

"Inappropriate" Guan Youpeng was a little puzzled.

Gu Siwei said: "It's not suitable. Our company's pond is too small to support a dragon like him, so he is not suitable."

Good guy, you brought Gang Leader Qiao over to be the general manager. It’s really exciting to think about it. Having such a character working under you can indeed satisfy the vulgar taste of a time-travelling person.

But Gu Siwei also knew that this person could not be someone who had lived under others for a long time.Let's put it this way, even Gates students may work for themselves, but it is impossible for this person to work for others.

With the character of Gang Leader Qiao, there was a famous joke on the Internet decades later: It is impossible to work part-time, and it is impossible to work for others in this life.

Besides, Gang Leader Qiao went to work, how could Gu Siwei try to beat Apple's blood in the hope of beating Microsoft?Forget it, don’t even look at what I do. There are some famous people in IBM who use Gu Siwei to do other things?Now he can't even open his mouth about Wang An Company, and he can't even chew on Microsoft. This is not a question of money. If you really control Microsoft to death in the early days, then Microsoft will not be the Microsoft of Gu Siwei's era. , what is plutocracy? It doesn’t matter to others which company they support. They will support whichever company can bring them the greatest benefits.

A foreigner like Gu Siwei wants to stir up trouble in the U.S. capital market?It's okay to be disturbed by others, let alone Gu Siwei, let alone Rupert Murdoch, who wants to enter the American media industry. Look at the tuition fees.

If you are not an American and want to be a predator in the US capital market, you will only be a loach.

They are all people who have experienced it for more than [-] years. They believe that capital has no borders and sports have no borders. So what are you still doing with your brain? Just take it off and play it as a ball. It can still play some role as a ball.

Guan Youpeng was a little confused, but he didn't ask. The reason was simple. If the boss decided, he would just obey.

From this aspect, Gu Siwei has really found a treasure. Guan Youpeng is a treasure. Hu Jianning, who he has always been thinking about, may not be suitable for someone like Gu Siwei.

"Are there any other candidates?" Gu Siwei asked.

Regarding Guan Youpeng, Gu Siwei felt that this person was really easy to use. Before he thought deeply about it, Guan Youpeng had already gone one step further than himself. For example, he just asked him to examine the American game industry this time. Not only did he investigate and discover the prospects of the industry, but he also had some ideas about setting up a company, which is very rare.

Guan Youpeng said: "There is another one named Joe Hawkins, who is currently working at Wang An Computer Company. He is also very interested in gaming, but I personally feel that he is not amazing enough for me."

Gu Siwei understands that many geniuses make people feel that they are more or less spiritual at first sight. This is the case with Gang Leader Qiao, and the same is true with Musk. These people are more or less a little weird.

In Guan Youpeng's eyes, the man named Qiao was not as good as Steve, so he was ranked second, even though one was 25 years old and the other was already [-] years old.

"Any other options?"

Gu Siwei asked.

Guan Youpeng shook his head: "There are only two for now. If you need other candidates, you have to entrust a professional company to help find them."

Gee!
Gu Siwei dislikes these headhunting companies for the simple reason that they cost money.Gu Siwei felt a little unhappy when he thought of someone taking money out of his own pocket, and he was a time traveler.

But what Gu Siwei hates the most is why he doesn't study hard. Even if he reads a few more biographies, he can learn about some great people. Now he only knows about Wang An and Jobs. The next thing he knows is all It will be decades later, and it’s really...well, it’s hard to miss books until they are used.

"How much money can be withdrawn from the company's account now? Do you have US$200 million?" Gu Siwei asked.

Guan Youpeng nodded and said: "There is 200 million US dollars."

Gu Siwei said directly: "Then use 50 US dollars to register a branch in California, the United States, in Silicon Valley, and the name will be...".

Gu Siwei was a little undecided.

Shameless Lao Gu is serious. What name does he dare not use?At this time, others didn’t know that he was the one who registered the name. He was just wondering whether it was better to call it Nintendo, Blizzard Entertainment, or Microsoft.Called DreamWorks?

Damn it!There are too many good names to worry about!
"Call Nintendo"

Gu Siwei decided to trick the little devil.

Guan Youpeng was dumbfounded and asked, "Is that the same name? There is a company in Japan called Nintendo."

"Huh? Yes?" Gu Siwei scratched his head.

Guan Youpeng nodded and said affirmatively: "It is a company that produces game cards. They produced several decks of cards I brought back when I went to Japan. They also produce Disney cards now."

"My pussy!"

Gu Siwei was a little annoyed. Lao Gu, an uneducated person, didn't know that Nintendo was founded in 1889. He wanted to steal the name, but it was too late for Lao Gu.

"What's that called, DreamWorks, Blizzard?"

Gu Siwei muttered.

"Boss, DreamWorks is a good name. A factory that makes dreams, isn't it a suitable name for a game company?"

Guan Youpeng said: "It's better to register all of them. If there are some with the same name, you can change them to others."

"Row!"

Gu Siwei directly wrote about DreamWorks, Blizzard Entertainment, EA, 3do, Happy Box, etc.Anyone who has played their games and had a deep impression on Gu Siwei will probably have to trouble their founders to change their names in this life.
