Chapter 265 The clarion call to enter Japan

November 8th is the beginning of winter in the lunar calendar.

When Catherine woke up early in the morning, she saw news about the Soviet Union being broadcast on the TV station - yesterday was the Victory Day in October 19th, and the Soviet Union held a grand celebration. The image of Brezhnev also appeared on the news.

"October**."

Catherine curled her lips. If the red giant bear had not been destroyed, the future would be completely different.

But... maybe the world will have been nuclear leveled by then. This is not a good thing.

And this Brezhnev, in Catherine's opinion, was one of the murderers who destroyed the Soviet Union - the reason why he was "one" was because there was also Khrushchev and Gore, who was called the "map leader".

Orbachev. Especially this "map leader", who was able to turn the Soviet Union into what it was later, can be considered a masterpiece.

The biggest mistake Brezhnev made was to use his left hand to open the "Afghanistan dungeon" and ended up entering the hidden dungeon "Imperial Cemetery". If he had used his right hand at that time, maybe the Soviet Union would not have become like that later.

Ahem...

Brezhnev at least handed over an iron-bucket of power to his successor. Although he cannot be said to be too good, it seems a bit incorrect to say that he is too bad. After all, there was a worse Gorbachev.

My husband is behind.

"His eyebrows are really thick, but he looks pretty good." Elsa evaluated Brezhnev carefully.

"well enough."

Catherine said while eating breakfast. Somehow, she suddenly thought of a name called "Locke Lee".

"The Soviet Union...what kind of place is that there?"

The news on TV is just a brief message, and it passes quickly. Many people’s impressions of the Soviet Union come from the propaganda of the federal government and those media, but these reports are selective. Anyone with a discerning eye can see most of them.

Come out of this.

Although Catherine is from China, when she was sensible in her previous life, the Soviet Union was about to collapse.

"Anyway...it's not as bad as the media publicized it."

——When the Soviet Union collapsed, more than 70% of the people believed that the Soviet Union should be preserved rather than disintegrated. This probably illustrates this, right? But in her previous life, Catherine felt that the demise of the Soviet Union was a joyful event. China

It needs living space, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union just gave China an opportunity for development.

As for now, Catherine also believes that the Soviet Union should be destroyed for her own business interests...

The other party has now begun to develop the Internet. If you wait until the other party has a root server, it will be troublesome for you - this means that others have other options besides intercom. If the Soviet Union collapses, you will

Maybe we can get their root server in hunluàn. That's why there is "Project Wanta" in Catherine's notebook.

——Of course, it will be difficult to realize this plan without waiting until the 1980s.

When people use the Internet, they always need a root server. The root server is mainly used to manage the home directory of the Internet. It is impossible without this.

Although there is no specific information for each domain name in the root domain name server, the address information of the domain name server responsible for the resolution of each domain (such as com, com, etc.) is stored. Just like you cannot ask a certain unit in Guangzhou through Beijing Telecom

phone number, but Beijing Telecom can tell you to look up 020114. The browser request of all Internet visitors in the world to convert a domain name into an IP address.

This is why there was later the emergence of what many people jokingly called the "Greater China LAN" - no government would want to let its own weakness be controlled by the other party.

Today's intercom is completely based on the operation of the business model. Even if the federal government wants to take over its own intercom, it will take at least twenty or thirty years, but Catherine will never put her eggs in one basket. Today's intercom

The Internet is only available in the United States, but I can apply this product to other places, so that every continent in the world has its own root server. In this way, it is impossible for the federal government to take it away.

"Okay, it's almost done."

Catherine looked at the time. It was already eight o'clock. It should be time to go to the company now. She would have a meeting in the afternoon.

Although Catherine had been busy all day yesterday, she still took the time to look over the meeting schedule. After confirming again that her plan was feasible, she fell asleep.

"Let's go"

Putting the problem of the Soviet Union behind, Catherine left the house. Elsa packed her things, turned off the TV, and left.

The meeting was held in the afternoon, so Catherine took advantage of the free time in the morning to handle some of the company's affairs.

After lunch, Catherine came to the conference room. At this time, representatives of third parties had gathered and they were discussing with each other. The game industry had just formed at this time, even slower than Catherine's electronic industry.

.However, this industry that relies on its own electronic computers is a market with unlimited potential. "Emma Cube" and "Super Mario" alone have brought nearly 100 million yuan in profits to their company. This shows that

How much money do these game companies that specialize in developing games make per year.

Since Catherine's new factory was put into production, the game industry has once again made a big improvement, and more games have begun to appear. There are even companies that have specially developed infrared firearms, which can be used to play games such as flying saucers and wild ducks.

game.

"Ahem...Okay, gentlemen, our meeting is about to begin."

It wasn't until Catherine spoke up that everyone stopped. After all, Catherine was the "chairman" of this meeting.

"I believe everyone is already aware of our plan to enter Japan for our game products. We are planning to land in Japan early next year, and we have successfully developed the Japanese version."

The situation in Japan is somewhat different from that in the United States.

For example, the frequency of their currents in East Japan is 60 Hz, while in West Japan it is 50 Hz. It is a bit troublesome to solve this problem. Otherwise, if the frequencies are different, your own products may appear.

What is the error? This is also a problem that needs to be solved.

"Our Japanese version has redesigned its appearance to suit the aesthetics of the Japanese. They are Asians, and they see things a little differently from us."

Perhaps because of the influence of Catherine's "Magic War Chess" series, most of the current games are games with a high degree of freedom, and if such games want to become popular in Japan... Catherine really has no confidence

.

"Japanese people probably prefer games similar to plot and strategy. Many of our current games have a high degree of freedom. This is nothing to us, but Japanese people like it differently——

Regarding this, our company has done a survey, and this is the fact."

For many Japanese, plot and graphics are king, but few Japanese can appreciate freedom. This is also the reason why games like ACG are so popular in Japan - of course, after entering

After the 21st century, the Japanese gradually began to like games with a high degree of freedom, such as "Fallout" and so on.

Catherine here first said hello to these game developers.

More premium games are very beneficial to driving the sales of your own products. The Japanese are very smart. If you cannot occupy the Japanese market in a short period of time, you are likely to face Japanese copycat products.

That's tragic.

"Our company has also considered this, and we think it would be a good choice if we could invite a group of Japanese people to do the planning." The representative of Atari said, "But, we have a question...

...Then how can your company ensure that it can be successfully promoted in Japan? What happened to our TV industry in Japan...I think you also know it, right?"

The concerns expressed by Atari representatives are also common concerns among these game developers.

"Please rest assured about this. Our company is different from those idiots. And IBM is paving the way for us. What we need to do is to sit back and enjoy the benefits. The Japanese market is huge, and IBM cannot give up on it. As long as

IBM is paving the way for us. Our game consoles, which are TV accessories, are unlikely to attract the attention of Japanese companies. Even if Japanese companies successfully repel IBM, if we have not occupied the entire market by that time, this will only

It shows that we really failed."

——This is also the reason why Catherine chose to occupy the Japanese market after IBM entered Japan.

Even if IBM knew its plan, it would be impossible for them to leave alone. It was an aboveboard conspiracy. The other party knew exactly what Ark was planning, but there was absolutely no way to stop it. As a development company of commercial machines, IBM

There were no plans to get into video games at all.

"Taking into account the characteristics of Japanese people, our company is also preparing to develop a new type of game - "Dragon Quest"."

Catherine said with a smile.

"Dragon Quest", a game like this, could be said to be a national-level game for the Japanese in Catherine's previous life, and this game often only appeared on the game console platform that accounts for the largest sales in Japan (with a few exceptions).

For this reason, Catherine once played this game to see what the legendary "national level" was all about.

And now, Catherine is planning to use this game as a stepping stone to open the Japanese market...
