Chapter 96 Super Mario

On May 31, Li Guangyu returned to Xiangjiang. This year, Li Guangyu did not plan to leave Xiangjiang again. What Li Guangyu had to be busy with next is his marriage and the issue of Li Ka-shing's acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa.

The next morning, Li Guangyu came to Xingyu Group, International Building, to learn about the company's situation during this period.

After listening to the reports from various departments of the company during the meeting, Li Guangyu was still very satisfied. In the past five months, Xingyu Group's total profit exceeded HK$1.3 billion, and the company is in an orderly development of home game consoles and PC versions.

After the meeting, Li Guangyu came to Li Xuemei's office and said to her: "Xuemei, the game group has developed very well under your leadership. I feel relieved that the group has your leader."

Li Xuemei was not proud of this, because last year, Xingyu Group was the number one profit under the Li Group. In the past five months, Xiangyu Group's best-selling profits have exceeded HK$1.7 billion due to toys.

Li Xuemei also found that Xingyu Group's current products are too single, mainly on arcade machines. She only hopes that the company can develop home game consoles as soon as possible to increase the group's new profit points and compete with Xiangyu Group.

"Li Sheng, I will urge the R&D department to complete the development of home game consoles as soon as possible and open up this market as soon as possible." Li Xuemei said.

Li Guangyu is also more concerned about this, because starting from the 1980s, arcades will gradually decline, and the market for home game consoles will become glorious. The reason why Li Guangyu disagrees with cooperation with Nintendo is that he is unwilling to give up the market for home game consoles.

Li Guangyu said: "Now there is enough funds in the group account, and I don't have a new expansion plan at present. If you increase your investment in this area, you can also let the RB branch tap into talents to ensure the quality of our group's first product," he said.

Li Xuemei heard that Li Guangyu would no longer transfer funds from the group account and was more confident in the development of the group. Since becoming the company's management, Li Guangyu has been continuously drawing funds from the group account to expand other industries. This was the case in Xiangyu Group before, and now it is the case in Xingyu Group.

Although the two groups make money, there is not much money within the group, and Li Guangyu was transferred away. Many times, development has to be carefully calculated.

"Don't worry, Li Sheng, I will increase my investment in this area next, and I will contact Ms. Qin Jiao to help us find talents in this area at RB, and ask the Fujiwara family to provide help if necessary." Li Xuemei said.

Seeing that Li Xuemei had taken this seriously enough, Li Guangyu asked about game development.

"Snow Mei, how has Mr. Shigeru Yamamoto developed the game?"

When Li Xuemei saw Li Guangyu asking about the game development company, she replied: "Manager Shigeru Yamamoto's Donkey Kong 2 has been completed, and we will be available for sale in the United States this month."

Li Guangyu was also very happy to hear that Donkey Kong 2 was about to be sold. After all, this also gave the company an additional product. However, what he was most concerned about was how the Super Mario developed by Shigeru Yamamoto was progressing. After all, this is a money-making machine.

Li Guangyu asked: "How did Mr. Shigeru Yamamoto do the research and development of Super Mario?"

"Li Sheng, about the R&D of Super Mario, Manager Shigeru Yamamoto's team is under development. Manager Shigeru Yamamoto is expected to complete the development of this game by the end of this year." Li Xuemei said.

Li Guangyu is already very satisfied with this progress. Although he has some suggestions from Li Guangyu, it still takes a lot of time to develop it into a product. How many years will some games take to be developed? Shigeru Yamamoto is considered fast.

Li Guangyu asked: "In addition to developing Super Mario, does Xuemei have any other games in development?"

"Li Sheng, in addition to the team led by Manager Shigeru Yamamoto is developing Super Mario, we have two other teams developing new games. One is the Twelve Street Fighters you mentioned, and the other team is developing Pac Man games."

Li Guangyu is clear about street foxes, and Li Guangyu is not very clear about Pac Man.

"Xuemei, who proposed the game Pac Man?" Li Guangyu asked.

"Li Sheng, the person who proposed the game Pac Man was dug up by our company from RB Nangong Meng Game Company this year. Some of his game concepts are not recognized by Nangong Meng, so he came to our company." Li Xuemei said.

Li Guangyu didn't know how this game was. He had never played this game when he was a child in his previous life.

Li Guangyu asked: "So how did he position this game?"

Li Xuemei replied: "Mr. Iwatani is positioned as a product that is mainly used by women."

Li Guangyu doesn't know whether the product is good or bad when it comes out, so he can only develop it. If the product is developed and is cold, he can only think of himself as unlucky. The company's failure in a game cannot affect the company's development.

Li Guangyu then asked about Xingyu's printed circuit board company.

"Li Sheng, the printed circuit boards produced by our company are only provided for our own group use. Due to management and employee production, our company's pass rate has always been unsatisfactory, resulting in our cost remaining high, slightly higher than importing from RB." Li Xuemei said.

"I also know about this issue. When I was in RB, I also talked about this issue with Mr. Yamadahara, the president of Seiko Epson Company. After I communicated with President Yamada, we sent some middle-level companies but Seiko Epson Company to study from the second half of the year, and they will also send experts to our company to guide us." Li Guangyu said.

Li Xuemei was relieved to hear Li Guangyu say this. Only Xingyu Printed Circuit Board Company has dragged her back on so many companies in Li Sheng. If it weren't for the support of the group, the company would not be able to develop at all.

"I will pass the news to the company. In this month, our group will conduct an assessment of the middle level of the printed circuit board company. Next month, we will select outstanding personnel to study at RB. At the same time, we will make some preparations for Seiko Epson to send experts to Sepho. We will strive to ensure that the company's products are at the same quality at the end of this year, with the same price than our imports from RB." Li Xuemei replied.

Li Guangyu knew that this was too urgent. Xiangjiang was still far from RB in electronics, and employees didn't know much about this. Due to the environment, it was not comparable to RB in a short time.

"Do you want to put too much pressure on the company and let them study hard, we can always catch up with it?" Li Guangyu said.

Li Xuemei replied: "I know, Li Sheng."

At noon, Li Guangyu and Xingyu Group executives went to the restaurant next to have lunch. This was also the second time that Li Guangyu had eaten with these senior executives after a few months.
