Just when European and American electronics companies, such as Atari and other game giants, were ready to sharpen their knives and be determined to kill pigs and eat meat, they suddenly received a notice from Taiyu Technology and Motorola to hold a joint press conference with the Rock Ma Chau Industrial Park Management Center on May 1.⊥?≤≉≠ Want to v≡ Reading≮≮v≮·1┼k╳a╬n╬s┼h╬u╋·c·c

Faced with this sudden change, everyone was at a loss.

Atari is an important game industry giant worldwide. Its main business is more in the home game market. After the arcade game or Taiyu opened up, it joined in order to make more profits. It is far less important than home game consoles. Its household game console cassettes produced in a year are as many as millions of boxes, with a output value of billions.

But such an industrial giant is a tiny witch compared to Motorola, a well-deserved behemoth.

Motorola is more accurate in positioning than an electronics company.

But it is not about producing weapons such as aircraft, cannons, and tanks, but about military communication equipment. It is one of the main suppliers of the US side.

If Atari would have someone to speak for him in Congress, he could use administrative power within a certain range. Then Motorola is a giant that spans the three realms of politics, military and business. Its interests are the interests of politics, military and business. The number of members of parliament running for it is so large and the voices are so loud that even if compared with the whole United States, there are not many people who can stand on the same level.

Taiyu Technology can successfully enter the US market because it has made great contributions to Motorola's performance. Motorola is happy to see that Taiyu Technology relies on its strong software research strength to force other game manufacturers to fully adopt Taiyu Technology's hardware structure and choose Motorola's 65o2 processor as the core of the motherboard.

This eight-bit processor, produced in 1975, has also had a short-lived glory, and has become the choice of many computer manufacturers because of its low price.

But the good times did not last long. With Intel's more advanced 8o88 and 8o86 processors, z8o microprocessors produced by Intel's authorized manufacturers were launched one after another. 65o2 has lagged behind the times and sales have shrunk sharply.

Seeing that this processor was about to be eliminated, Taiyu Technology took it as the core of computing and opened a new application market for arcades, which made its old trees and new buds explode again.

Moreover, due to the advancement of integrated circuit technology, the production cost of 65o2 is even cheaper.

The price of twenty-five dollars in 1975 has not changed yet, but the profit has risen from a small profit of one or two dollars to ten dollars, fifteen dollars, twenty dollars...

The monthly sales of 120,000 tablets are enough to bring Motorola a net profit of more than 2 million US dollars, with an annual profit of up to 250 million!

This is pure profit!

Such a huge profit is that Motorola, which has a big business, cannot ignore it. It specially dispatched senior business managers to live in Hong Kong, treating guests and giving gifts, and providing Taiyu Technology's senior management like a father.

For them, giving a few villas, luxury cars, diamond jewelry, and high-end furs is not even a sesame, compared with the annual profit of more than 200 million yuan. ≥≥ If you want to read ≈book v·1┼k┼anshu·c·c they are confident and willing to give, even if the management agrees unanimously.

It is also because of the net profit of more than 200 million US dollars that they made great efforts to help Taiyu Technology gain a foothold in the United States under the hindrance of its domestic game manufacturers and electronic manufacturers.

But they helped this point.

Their goal is to maintain this fixed income of 250 million yuan per year, as long as the profit is guaranteed, they don't care who comes from.

Taiyu Technology is the basis for maintaining the existence of Taiyu Board, so it cannot fail, and it also needs to have enough market share to exert influence. Therefore, Motorola stood in front of Taiyu when he was on the 6th of the United States, helping him resist open and hidden guns and arrows from all sides and constantly opening up new markets.

But they don’t want to see Taiyu Technology unify the country, so as not to lose the big picture.

So when local American companies joined forces to cheat Taiyu, they did not do their best to sit 100% and wait for their opponents to form a tug-of-war with Taiyu Technology. At the lowest point, they even suppressed Taiyu's market share to 38%, and rushed from central cities to small and medium-sized cities.

Later, the situation was able to return to the halfway situation, but because of Taiyu's own software strength, he grabbed it back a little bit by himself. Motorola never took action, just watched coldly.

Because of this, when the new version of Taiyu Technology abandoned 65o2 and launched a processor with unknown origin, the anti-Taiyu game developers with Atari were ecstatic and believed that Taiyu Technology finally made a decisive mistake.

Without Motorola's protection, it is no dream to drive Taiyu Technology out of the US market. ·1┼k╳a╬n┼s╳h╳u·c·c

Everyone thought they had a stumble, and companies such as Atari were preparing to start congressional lobbying and planned to force Taiyu Technology out of the US market, the two companies actually announced that they would hold a joint press conference. This was like a bolt from the blue, which made everyone dizzy.

Given that the situation had changed, all the conspiracies and tricks in secret were immediately paused. On the one hand, Atari and other companies sent people to inquire about the news, but on the other hand, they remained silent, intending to wait and see the news before making a decision.

...

As May enters, the temperature in Hong Kong begins to rise rapidly. Although it is only eight in the morning, the temperature has reached twenty-six degrees and can't even wear long-sleeved shirts. Most of the office workers who are rushing to the company on the street have changed to short-sleeved ones.

Baker drove his Buick car and carried the editor-in-chief Walker carefully on the inside of the road, avoiding the vehicles behind them from time to time. When passing the intersection, he was even more vigilant and paid attention to avoiding the cars jumping out on the right.

Baker is an American and has been in Hong Kong for less than a year. He is not used to the car designed on the right side of the steering wheel. He bought a used American car and sat on the left side of the familiar cab. He felt comfortable. The traffic rules of the car driving on the left side here made him even more uncomfortable. He often turned to the outside when driving, and then because of his obstruction of vision, he had multiple collision accidents.

So he is very careful when driving now and never dares to drive fast cars. When turning, he looks around, for fear that he will miss the car coming from the opposite side. ∈ Want to ≈ Reading≦·1┼k╬a╳n┼s╬h╳u╬·c·c

Walker also knew that he was not used to Hong Kong's traffic rules, so he closed his eyes and rested after getting on the bus, and did not talk to him to avoid being distracted.

Arriving from the undersea tunnel to Kowloon, passing through Kowloon and boarding the Tsing Kwai Highway, passing Tsuen Wan Park and turning left to Tuen Mun Highway. There were fewer cars on the road, and his heart gradually relaxed and turned part of his attention to today's press conference.

Baker works for the Asian Wall Street Journal and today he is going to the Lok Ma Chau Industrial Park in New Territories to attend the joint press conference between Taiyu Technology and Motorola.

The Asian Wall Street Journal is the closest media on the island to the United States. Since its founding in 1974, the editor-in-chief of the newspaper has always been Americans. Most of the editor-in-chief of the newspaper and most of the journalists are American media people, and some journalists are recruiting locally.

The readers of the Daily mainly target the readers, and the target of senior white-collar workers, intellectuals and financiers who can read English proficiently, is a serious English newspaper.

The newspaper is called Wall Street in Asia, so it naturally focuses on Asian finance, economic and current affairs, focusing mainly on Japan, South Korea, Taiwan and the local area, taking into account Southeast Asia. At the same time, it has also opened a special edition for publishing economic news in the United States and Europe and writing comments, which has a considerable influence in Asia.

At today's press conference, the protagonists are Taiyu Technology, which has a considerable influence in the global game industry, and the other is Motorola, the United States and global communications and electronics giant. The press conference jointly organized by the two must be related to the recent controversial game console modification.

A single company can make the headlines of newspapers, not to mention that the two companies will join forces to organize them.

Even the editor-in-chief was almost ready to go out for such big news, but considering that the New Territories were too far away, the newspaper needed someone to stay in the newspaper. If there was big news, the dispatcher immediately organized the writing and printing, so he sent Walker and him to attend the press conference.

For this reason, the newspaper reserved all the pages, and when their manuscripts arrived, they immediately proofread and printed them.

“Have you arrived?”

Perhaps there were few vehicles on the road, and the traffic was still there. Walker woke up from his head tilted to sleep. He opened his eyes to look at the desolate road and asked in a daze.

"Not yet, we just got on Qinglang Highway. There are few cars on this road. We can drive faster. We will arrive in about twenty minutes." Baker hurriedly replied when he saw the editor-in-chief woke up.

"Mike, what do you think about today's press conference?" Walker rubbed his eyes, letting the wind blow his head, and asked leaning against the car window.

Baker's name is Macmillan and his nickname is Mac.

Since receiving this interview task, Baker has made careful preparations and has a scheming in his mind. When he heard the editor-in-chief's question, he replied without hesitation: "I think it should be related to the processor storm!"

His tone of answering was in affirmative sentences, rather than assumption sentences.

Regarding today's press conference, all media people in Hong Kong can guess that. The link between Taiyu Technology and Motorola is the processor. The new arcade that has been rebuilt in Motorola has abandoned Motorola. Motorola has not yet spoken. Who knows whether it is an angry negotiation or intends to break up with Taiyu Technology.

All the answers should be revealed today.

If the two companies cannot reach an understanding, it would be fine if they part ways, but they might even shake the foundation of the entire gaming console market.

The media are naturally very worried about companies with good relationships with Taiyu Technology. But for those media that hate and even hate Taiyu Technology, they may wish that the two companies will break completely so that they can attack Taiyu Technology, which has lost its reliance, watch him get up, watch him have guests, and watch him collapse.

Taiyu Technology's rise in four years is certainly an economic miracle, but there are many people who offended it during this period. On Hong Kong Island, those who hate him can line up from the Governor's Mansion to the Victoria Harbour Pier. The one who wants to kill him the most is the Hong Kong government.

However, Taiyu Technology currently has a protective umbrella from the country, and Motorola, half of its allies who are not ally, dare not act rashly.

From the press conference, the level and attitude of Motorola's representatives attending the meeting can give a glimpse of their decisions.

They have not made any statement in the early stage, and the representatives in Hong Kong are not even seen, and they are as tight as they say. However, the media can still see through some clues that Motorola is not happy, at least not so happy, and obviously they are very dissatisfied with Taiyu Technology's sudden interruption of cooperation.

Once Motorola decides to abandon Taiyu Technology, those who rush up to take the lead will be in groups.

Although it is hard to say that you will decide life and death today. If Taiyu Technology is a human being with its tail between its tail, as long as it does not have much control, it should be able to operate in disarray in the future. But if Motorola really breaks up with him, today's press conference can be regarded as the symbol of Taiyu Technology's decline from prosperity and is recorded in history.
