Chapter 50 Gifts

After the dinner, Jester sent Carly back to her residence in Los Angeles and rushed back to Costa Mesa overnight. Today he had to negotiate more detailed memory orders with Lee Kun-hee.

After all, this is a contract worth tens of millions of dollars in total.

The negotiations of this level will not be surprising if both parties have been talking for several consecutive days, but it is obvious that both parties are very interested in this transaction, especially Samsung, which has made the biggest concessions in terms of price.

So in Jester's opinion, the negotiations may not be too long.

In fact, he didn't originally plan to use 32KB of memory on his home computer. He remembered that the memory of FC/NES was only 8KB, but because the new 8-bit host that his hardware R&D department is developing uses a dual PPU architecture, so this is definitely not enough RAM for both memory and video memory.

Originally, 16KB of memory was barely enough, but after thinking about it, Jesters thought about it and thought about Mark Seney's statement that making a game with low memory was the biggest enemy, so he directly added 32KB of memory.

As for the 64KB, it is really too expensive, and the 8-bit computer is really not available.

Later generations, when Mark Senni was the chief architect of PS4, he visited game companies all over the world. The biggest complaints about PS3 when making games was that the memory was too small. At that time, Sony's internal discussion was whether to use 2GB of memory or 4GB. As a result, Mark Senni made a decision directly, 8GB.

After a sleep in his office, he just got up in the morning and got good news.

Just when he left the company to go to Los Angeles, he asked his father to develop the Pokémon version of Takumako with the GW architecture arranged by him to take out their samples. As for the pet breeding procedures inside, he had written the specific shells before, and he also made several of them in advance.

There are three samples this time, and the three pets in them are also different.

For his own bad taste, Jester's first three Pokemons were the first generation of Pokemon Yusan.

Little Fire Dragon, Johnny Turtle and Wonderful Frog Seeds.

Their cute images were drawn on the shell, which was only half the size of GW. This was what Jester had finished drawing their sketches, and then found a company painter to redesign them according to his sketches.

He doesn't care about other characteristics, just one is cute.

It makes people can't help but play with it as soon as they see it.

In fact, it is called Pokemon, but it is just a replacement for Takuma Kazuko, but Jester still added combat function to it. Two different machines can fight through special communication lines.

When raising pets, players also add evolution options with a certain chance. Of course, they will randomly learn combat skills as the battle or time increases.

The design of the first version is relatively rough and original, but Jester doesn't care. Electronic pets are a creative idea, and the more complete version can be continued to be developed.

When an employee of the hardware R&D department brought these three electronic pet machines that were cute and only half a palm-sized, Jester was quite satisfied - at least the appearance was very good, and the white, yellow and pink appearances were also very suitable for the target audience of this handheld machine, girls.

Yes, Pokemon is indeed a killing man and woman, but the problem is that this is not Pokemon. This is just a Pokemon pet machine made from the Takuma Goko pet machine. It only has breeding but no collection function. In Jester's eyes, ordinary boys don't like to play with this thing very much.

Of course, it's just ordinary. After all, the combat function added by Jester is prepared for these boys.

He played with it for a while, and then suddenly remembered Lee Kun-hee's visit later. According to Korean customs, he would definitely bring some gifts to himself, and he would not seem so rude to have to return a gift.

Gifts don't need to be very precious, but they need to be a little commemorative.

After thinking about it, Jester put his mind on these three Pokémon handheld machines that had just been made and didn't even have a name.

"Just call it Game-Pokemon, it's simple and easy to understand." He was too lazy to bother, so Jester directly used the Pokemon's English name Pokemon, and then added a Game word in front. In this way, the first host developed by Mars Entertainment, to be precise, was decided.

Then Jester picked up the phone.

"Come here and take away my three newly developed game consoles, and then make the packaging, and make it as delicate as possible. I may give it to someone later." Jester told the phone.

Although Lee Kun-hee didn't believe the 10 million-piece memory order in Jester, he arrived in Costa Mesa very early and brought his entire legal affairs and contract team to the United States this time. He had already called his father last night, and his father also fully supported him. If the order the other party said was true, he would have to be fully won at any cost.

This is an opportunity that cannot be missed for Lee Kun-hee himself and for Samsung Electronics.

When Lee Kun-hee and his party arrived, Jester led his employees to greet him outside the company.

The specific details of negotiations do not require two people to negotiate. Jester also has his own legal and negotiation team. He spent one million dollars to set up an exclusive legal department and poached a barrister from a large lawyer in Los Angeles.

The barrister is Howard Garfield, who graduated from Haval Law School and has been engaged in the industry for nearly 20 years and has a wide connection. Jester offered him a basic annual salary of $800,000, and the other party agreed to come.

In fact, it is not a negotiation. Specifically, it is about how to negotiate some details. Because it involves a large contract with a sum of tens of millions of dollars, the legal staff of both parties are also racking their brains to think about various ways to avoid taxes, and then write it into the contract to clarify.

Lee Kun-hee was invited by Jester to his private office, chatting, waiting for the Jiester hardware research and development department to test the memory film samples brought by Samsung this time. Only when the test passes, the contract they discussed this time will be meaningful.

As soon as they met, Lee Kun-hee gave the gifts he prepared according to Koreans' habits.

"This is the first 64KB memory film produced by our Samsung Electronics." As he said, Lee Kun-hee handed a very gorgeous box to Jester with both hands.

Jester also quickly got up and took it with both hands.

Such a gift is not about whether it is valuable or not, but whether it is meaningful. Obviously, the gift Lee Kun-hee gave Jester is very memorable. This seemingly ordinary memory film is the beginning of Samsung's rise.

Then Jester picked up a wooden box with a very Chinese style from his desk. This was something that Jester had just sent to Chinatown to collect. It seemed to be a yellow rosewood. It was quite heavy in his hand. It cost more than 200 US dollars just a box. However, the production was indeed excellent. According to the owner, it seemed to be the craftsman of a famous craftsman.

The box was padded with velvet, and there were three very cute gaming consoles placed in turn.

"This is the first game handheld console that our Mars Entertainment has just developed successfully. Because time is too haste and there is no time to prepare gifts for President Li, I can only use this to make up the numbers. I heard that President Li has three daughters, and this game handheld console called Game-Pokemon in our Mars Entertainment is designed for girls and target groups. These three handheld consoles can also be regarded as gifts I give to them."

Jester said apologetically.

His words surprised Lee Kun-hee. It is true that he has three daughters, but he is not a big shot. The information about his three daughters can be transmitted to the United States across the ocean?

This made him admire Jester's intelligence collection ability.

"Mr. Lee, be polite." Despite thinking so, Lee Kun-hee took the gift without saying a word.

Then the two sides talked about some opinions about the future, but at the beginning, Lee Kun-hee just thought that Jester was a pretty outstanding young man with strong ability in making games, but he didn't know much about other aspects of him.

Actually, there is nothing to understand. A person's ability may not be related to age, but a person's knowledge must be closely related to age. After all, Jester is just a young man who is just nineteen years old.

But when Jester was able to talk to him about the impact of Gorbachev on the Soviet Union after he came to power, the possible changes in the world market structure after the mainland's reform and opening up, and the crisis hidden in the blind fanaticism of the United States, it was well-known and well-founded.

These are the most popular topics of this era. Countless people make countless comments on it every day. Although most of them are conclusions that are scheming, there are also many wise men who can point out the core of the problem to the point.

Jester understands the general trend of the future, so he is certainly reserved for his reasonable deductions based on some current situations - and in the eyes of others, he is just a speculation.

It's just that what he speculated is reasonable and well-founded.

At the beginning, Lee Kun-hee could chat with him for a few interactive conversations, but gradually the whole chat topic completely entered the rhythm of Jester. Almost he was talking and Lee Kun-hee was listening.

Moreover, Lee Kun-hee nodded from time to time, obviously agreeing quite.

Although these are just some casual topics of chatting, Lee Kun-hee can still feel the young man, Jester, who is a grasp of the world situation, which is not a ability that a young man of this age can possess.

"This person is unlimited in the future." This is the evaluation made by Lee Kun-hee in his heart.

"I have a similar view as President Lee. I also think that Samsung's future is feasible in consumer electronics, and it is feasible to vigorously develop the electronics industry. However, the current rulers in this area are Japan and the United States. It is not easy for you to catch up and surpass them." Jester straightforwardly told Lee Kun-hee that the other party's ambitions are in his heart.

Let Samsung Electronics surpass Sony and Panasonic and other consumer electronic giants to become the world's number one.

Maybe no one would believe it if you say it. This is the ambition of an electronics company that has just been manufacturing 64K DRAM and has just made its first color TV for a few years.

Isn't it a bit whimsical?

But Jester knew what kind of courage and ability the middle-aged man sitting in front of him had.

He knows what determination is for a person who summed up the cruel law of competition that only ‘first can survive’.

There was no expression on Lee Kun-hee's somewhat rigid face. He did not deny Jester's statement, but just sighed and said, "This is too difficult."

The difference between them and Japan's technology generation is too big. If nothing extremely special happens, they would not have had the opportunity to complete this idea. The technology blockade is like a spell of tightening the spell.

If it weren't for Japan's technological blockade, it wouldn't have been so long that they would have made the first color TV.

"Yes, it's too difficult." Jester also knew that if it weren't for the financial storm in the 1990s that caused heavy losses to Japanese companies and that Samsung directly hollowed out the technology groups of many large Japanese companies, it would be impossible for Samsung to rise rapidly like a rocket in the new century.

Time is the same as fate.

At this time, Jester glanced at Lee Kun-hee. The middle-aged man's eyes did not show any discouraged look, but were as firm as ever.
