LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 110 Taitung Co., Ltd.!
Mikhail Kogan, the boss of Taidong Trading Co., Ltd., is a Jew from Sulian. Because of his sensitive identity, after accumulating his first pot of gold in Bingcheng, Shencheng, and Tianjin Wei, by chance, he went to Japan to develop. and established his own company in the early fifties.
From the beginning, we relied on import and export trade to make money.
Mikhail Kogan has two capable men under his command. Akio Nakanishi is a well-known marketing genius in the industry, while Sanito Matsushita, who is responsible for product development, is much less well-known. However, his contribution to Taitung trade is definitely not as great as Nakanishi. Under Akio, the team he led developed many best-selling products that would influence future generations.
In the 1950s, Taitung began to enter the arcade market such as pinball machines.
In the 1960s, the Japanese arcade game industry had hundreds of operating clubs, large and small. Due to the lack of effective restraint by industry associations and relevant regulations, it was a chaotic scene, with social problems involving crime emerging one after another.
Taito Co., Ltd. teamed up with several other arcade companies to form the All-Tongyang Arcade Association.
In the early 1970s, Taitung began to introduce electronic game consoles, also known as arcade machines, from Country M.
After discovering the arcade market and joining Tomohiro Nisikado, a game console designer, Taito Co., Ltd. began to develop its own games.
The most famous one is, of course, "Space Invaders" which has not yet been released on the market.
Yang Ming also wanted to take advantage of this time period.
Before Space Invaders even came out.
If we can acquire Taitung Co., Ltd., that would of course be the best.
After all, Taitong has been developing in Dongyang for so many years. According to his understanding, Taitong's boss and his two right-hand assistants may not be willing to sell Taitung Co., Ltd.
Yang Ming proposed the second one, which was to acquire "Space Invaders" that Tomohiro Nisikado was still developing.
If they still don't want to sell.
Then we can only poach people in Japan.
There are many talents in this area in Japan.
I'm afraid it's hard to find it here in Xiangjiang now.
Originally, Yang Ming's idea was to let Mai Lisi lead the team to do this, but Mai Lisi now has more things to do in Xiangjiang.
In addition to the Red Bull beverage company that has been acquired, there is also the matter of building the Empire State Building on the Murray Building site.
Merisi cannot leave the Imperial Group for the time being.
Yang Ming could only send Barlow and Xu Qingsheng to lead the people.
Barlow and Xu Qingsheng didn't know the difficulty involved. Now that they were suddenly promoted to the position of deputy general manager of Empire Games Company, they must do their best to deal with this matter.
On that day, Barlow and Xu Qingsheng transferred fifteen people from other responsible persons.
Plus the two of them.
A total of seventeen people formed a group and prepared to go to Japan.
Their passports are from country Y or Hong Kong. It is very convenient to travel to Japan. Moreover, it does not take long to fly from Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong to Tokyo.
That afternoon.
Yang Ming held another secret meeting with them in the chairman's office.
He did not require that Taitung Co., Ltd. be acquired. If they could acquire "Space Invaders" in advance, buy out the ownership, or even recruit Tomohiro Nisikado to Xiangjiang, they would have made great contributions to the company.
When Yang Ming finished the secret meeting with them.
They left the Imperial Group that day and went home to prepare. Tomorrow morning, they would take a flight from Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport to Tokyo.
Empire Group established its subsidiary Empire Games Company.
Many people in the company now know it.
I’m afraid most people don’t even know what the Empire Games Company does.
"Lin Xiuzhi, have you and Tang Shilian inquired about the property rental management company of the Federal Building?"
Yang Ming is going to rent the downstairs in the Federal Building.
That is the 28th floor, where the Empire Games Company has its offices.
According to Yang Ming's vision, the future Empire Games Company will be quite large, and one floor of office building will not be enough in the future.
Today, early days are certainly enough.
"Boss, we talked with the lessor of the Federal Building and learned that we were going to rent the 28th floor. They agreed directly."
Nowadays, rent here in the Federal Building is not cheap either.
If you are not a very wealthy company, you really may not be able to afford such an office building.
With a rent of three million Hong Kong dollars a year, many companies cannot make this amount of money in a year.
Lin Xiuzhi and Tang Shilian reached an agreement with the lessor of the Federal Building on the same day.
16:00 in the afternoon.
Yang Ming, Lin Xiuzhi, and Mai Lisi came down from upstairs.
This 28th floor has been empty for some time.
In fact, the layout inside is similar to that on the 29th floor.
In the past, a small part might have been rented out to other companies. After the other companies withdrew, the place would be completely vacant.
Looking at the now empty 28th floor.
"Lin Xiuzhi, the office supporting measures here must be handled as soon as possible."
"Yes, boss."
Like these, as long as you have money, others can do it for you overnight.
"You have to buy a computer."
In the 1970s, there were already many computer companies around the world, especially in country M.
Except for the most famous company IBM.
There are also companies like Apple that launched the Apple II computer last year. For Yang Ming, who was accustomed to being unable to live without a computer in his previous life.
At first, when I first came to this world, I was really not used to having neither a mobile phone nor a computer.
"Lin Xiuzhi, before leaving get off work, go to the market and buy three computers."
computer?
Lin Xiuzhi thought she heard wrongly.
In this era, some people have heard of computers. Computers are completely different from other electrical products.
Before personal computers appeared and spread on a large scale, computers seemed to be of little use.
"Boss, do you really want to buy a computer?" Lin Xiuzhi asked again.
"Yes, I'll buy three first. One for the chairman's office upstairs and downstairs, and one for the study room of Repulse Bay Villa."
However, Yang Ming knew that he was the only one in the Imperial Group who could use the current computers. People like Meris and others would probably not be able to use them even if they had been exposed to them.
After Lin Xiuzhi wrote it down.
She immediately took Liu Jiayi and Wang Tong to the electrical appliance market in Xiangjiang to have a look.
As a free port for import and export trade, Hong Kong has a population of only a few million, but many new things flow into Hong Kong every day.
Things like computers have been around for many years, and of course they can be found in Hong Kong.
Just in terms of price, it may not be cheap.
Yang Ming went upstairs.
17:30 in the afternoon.
In the chairman's office, Yang Ming received a landline call from Lin Xiuzhi.
"Boss, an import and export foreign trade company here in the Central District has a ready-made IBM 5110 computer. The price of the low-end version is around US$12000. The high-end version costs US$25000."
$12000?
The price is really not low. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is nearly 66000 Hong Kong dollars, which is a very expensive luxury product.
However, when the IBM 5110 computer was launched in China in January, the ordinary low-end version of the 16K computer had a uniform price of US$9875.
The high-end version of 64K costs up to $25000.
In other words, this is very expensive to begin with and is simply not affordable for ordinary people.
