Start with a Cat and Mouse Game

~: 1255th generation handheld

Two days later, Frank, Andre and Taylor were called to the house as guests.

When Li Changheng and Annie held Angela in a princess dress together, and greeted the three of them in person, the gifts from Frank and Taylor were quite normal.

Andre took out a jewelry box directly, squatted down with a smile, opened it and placed it in front of Angela.

The little guy was frightened by Andre at first, so he hugged Li Changheng's leg with both hands, but when he saw the shiny golden deer inlaid with red, blue and green gemstones without horns, he looked up at Li Changheng after hesitating for three seconds.

Seeing Li Changheng nodding, Angela looked at Andre with small eyes, and saw that the strange uncle was smiling and didn't look like a bad guy, so she reached out to grab him.

While Andre was overjoyed, Frank and Taylor on the side suddenly cursed in their hearts.

Li Changheng glanced at the golden deer, and made sure that the deer didn't have any sharp horns, and that it was the size of his own fist, so there was no need to worry about Angela getting it in his mouth, so he couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

But Andre's move really made him very satisfied.

Seeing that Angela could catch it, Li Changheng was surprised, but he instantly realized that the middle of the deer must be hollow.

Moreover, after a closer look, I found that this thing could not have been built in two days.

I heard Andre say with a smile, "After hearing the news that Annie was pregnant in March last year, I asked someone to prepare a gift.

After thinking about it, I thought that the emblem of the Selby family was marked with a deer head, so I simply asked people to design it with the theme of a deer.

Now it seems that Angela is indeed your daughter, and I fell in love with the deer representing the family crest. "

When Frank and Taylor heard that the gift was prepared last year and it was the first time for Angela, they couldn't help but feel relieved.

And faintly proud of it.

Last year, the two of them were invited to fly to Balmoral Castle in Scotland to attend Angela's birthday party. At that time, the gift I gave Angela was no worse than Andre's.

At lunch, when Andre saw Li Changheng for the first time, he would actually use a spoon to feed his daughter complementary food, and he couldn't help but raise Angela's importance to the same level as Annie's.

After lunch, while Angela fell asleep, Li Changheng carried his daughter to the small room next to his bedroom, settled Angela, and then took Frank and the three to the study.

A month later, an overseas investment fund called Angel Investment successively took control of 80% of the shares of two electronic toy companies registered in the United States, namely "Handhold Treasure" and "Funwan", which only have sales agency rights.

All the intellectual property rights and technical patents of the two game companies are in the hands of angel investors, avoiding most of the tax issues from the very beginning.

Since he regards the handheld as a cash cow, of course Li Changheng will not forget the arcade and the game console connected to the TV.

He planned to take advantage of Nintendo's first-generation handheld game consoles, which were still under development, to work directly at Nintendo, but they hadn't been reused yet.

The development of arcade machines is the easiest, not only because this kind of game console has appeared in 1971, but also simple shooting games can be easily realized when the body is large enough.

Even the plumber Mario, Tetris and other games proposed by Li Changheng, after asking the recruited technicians, there is basically no problem.

But if you want to port the game to a palm-sized handheld, although the difficulty is not too great, the cost will be very high.

This high is not thousands or tens of thousands of dollars, but it will be difficult to compress the price to less than 100 dollars, and then debug it until it runs smoothly.

Fortunately, Li Changheng knows the future of game consoles, and he is not short of funds.

Don't care about anything directly, invest a sum of 10 million US dollars to set up a special laboratory, and then recruit a team led by 4 professors from several famous universities.

Call people together for a meeting, while purchasing research equipment and setting up a laboratory.

While listing all the difficulties faced one after another.

Then set up a step-by-step bonus pool of 10 million US dollars for technological breakthroughs, and at once, the four teams that were still somewhat separated from each other spontaneously merged to jointly tackle key problems.

In addition, Li Changheng is very confident in the game that he came out of the copycat, so the R&D team does not need to consider the market and playability.

The four teams worked overtime for huge bonuses, and even entrusted some non-core technologies to companies such as Intel, Texas Instruments, and former universities where they worked.

It took only three months for the arcade machine to develop the prototype of the Little Bee. With this experience, the R&D team got a bonus of 1 million US dollars.

The 16 members of the entire team who were immediately stimulated made Tetris in just one week.

After Li Changheng personally went to the laboratory to try it out, and put forward some suggestions for rectification, he agreed to pay the second reward of 1 million on the spot.

Among the 16 researchers, 4 professors are paid 10,000 US dollars per month, and 12 assistant researchers are paid 2,000 to 4,000 US dollars each. They can share 2 million US dollars in less than 4 months.

In an instant, the R&D team seemed to be pumped with chicken blood. While re-investing in R&D again, after obtaining Li Changheng's approval, they recruited intern researchers in their respective schools.

It only took one month to develop the two games Tank Wars and Mario. Not to mention, the first generation of handhelds with black and white LCD screens also appeared in Li Changheng's hands.

"Henry, these R&D scientists are crazy."

Frank and Andre took advantage of Li Changheng playing the handheld version of Tetris, and whispered in his ear, "I heard that the price of 4 professors in charge is 1.8 million US dollars per month.

The division of labor packaged and bought all the R&D resources of the 5 national laboratories of the 4 Ivy League schools they worked in before.

If it weren't for the team of lawyers you accepted was strong enough~lightnovelpub.net~, maybe the news would have spread long ago.

And if this continues, our additional 20 million US dollars can only last for 3 months at most before we have to invest again. "

Li Changheng smiled noncommittally, "I have already planned to have 16 million US dollars prepared in advance, and it should be easy for you and Taylor to raise another 4 million US dollars."

Frank and Andre are also smart people, and upon hearing this, they understood that their worries were nothing to Li Changheng.

Moreover, the potential for money must be very big, otherwise, based on the two of us knowing Li Changheng well, it would not be so easy to get money out of his pocket.

Andre immediately smiled and said, "You are the boss and the founder of the project, you have the final say.

We can take out the money now, but I think the attribution of R&D results and other legal issues need to be set more reasonably. "

"That's right," Frank said with a smile.
