Chapter 8

Holding a bag with 200,000 cash, is there anyone who buys things like this?

If Yang Yun saw this scene, he would definitely sneer and say, "What's the big deal? I've seen people drag a few tons of coins to buy a car, and carry several bags of hundred-yuan notes to buy a building!"

But the people at Huamao Electronics Factory had never seen such a scene.

Ma Dayong quickly collected the cash, while Zhao Yongping and the cashier next to him stamped and handed over six delivery orders.

Mao Daxin was overjoyed and ran out quickly. Standing at the factory gate, he saw an industry peer, Old Liu, who mainly dealt in learning cards. He rushed forward, waving the delivery orders in his hand and said smugly, "Huamao's production plan is scheduled for next month, Old Liu, you're too late! Do you want this month's delivery orders? Each order is for 1,000 boxes, 33,000 yuan!"

Old Liu was skeptical, ran to the factory office to ask, and found it was true. Some people had followed Mao Daxin and grabbed a few orders, and Huamao's plan was indeed scheduled for a month later.

This made everyone very anxious. By mid-June, it would be the peak season for summer business. Both receiving and distributing goods required time, and publicity couldn't wait. Every day of delay meant money!

Old Liu turned back and pulled Mao Daxin to buy: "33,000 yuan! Give me the fastest!"

But Mao Daxin was not pleased, rolling his eyes and said, "The first 10 days are 35,000 yuan each! The last 10 days are 33,000 yuan each!"

Old Liu was anxious: "How can you do this? Didn't you say 33,000 yuan each?"

Mao Daxin waved his hand: "Buy it or not, up to you!"

Seeing a few more peers, also dealing in learning cards, who were old rivals, Old Liu gritted his teeth: "Give me three for the first 10 days!"

Money and goods exchanged hands, Mao Daxin counted the money happily, making a net profit of 15,000 yuan!

Just the next second, he saw Old Liu walk towards the new peers, waving the delivery orders and shouting, "The latest batch of cards, 10 days later for delivery, the first batch! 40,000 yuan each! Three sold as a package!"

Mao Daxin was stunned, instantly understanding. Old Liu's plan was good. If he sold them for 40,000 yuan each, he would also make 15,000 yuan, and it would increase the competitors' costs. If the cards didn't sell, Old Liu could have a monopoly and be the first to distribute the goods 10 days earlier.

Mao Daxin quickly ran back into Huamao Factory, as he now had 125,000 yuan again!

Without seeing the goods, trading delivery orders, this was a unique Chinese characteristic of that special era!

For the time being, let's not talk about the dealers. Huamao Electronics Factory sold 15,000 card orders without leaving the factory, totaling 450,000 yuan. The entire factory was working hard, running at full capacity!

The technical work of burning was in the hands of the core personnel, so producing the cards became routine. It was just a matter of adding a few capacitor welding teams, buying cheap card motherboards from outside, and hiring more laborers.

Zhao Yongping planned to add another operation platform, but unfortunately, after contacting several suppliers, he couldn't buy any. He could only watch as orders kept increasing while his production capacity couldn't keep up, leaving him frustrated.

Mass production and distribution before the peak summer season was the top priority for Huamao Electronics Factory!

Yang Yun did not enter the workshop. After thinking for two days, he found Aleksey and brought him to his research workbench, carefully asking, "Aleksey, are you interested in developing a new game with me?"

Aleksey looked at Yang Yun, somewhat strangely: "You still haven't given up on Mario?"

Yang Yun shook his head: "Mario is a side-scrolling game and requires art design. Look at the factory now; without Factory Manager Zhao's support, we don't have the capability to develop it. I have another game in mind, and I want to discuss it with you."

The game Yang Yun was talking about was a game even more impressive than Super Mario: Tetris!

Tetris is called that because its developer and designer is Russian.

However, since Yang Yun had been reborn, Tetris might not necessarily be called that. If he wanted, it could be called Chinese Blocks or Cloud Blocks.

Over the past two days, while programming games and during his free time, Yang Yun mostly thought about Tetris.

The rules of rebirth were unclear. What could be done and what couldn't be done, and what would happen if he did something that changed history, no one had any experience.

Knowing some things from the future didn't mean history would develop exactly the same.

For example, if Yang Yun hadn't come, Zhao Yongping might not have decided to switch to game consoles so quickly. In real history, Zhao Yongping's transition happened after 1991, not this early.

For example, if he cloned Super Mario, Nintendo might sue him.

Yang Yun had heard of the butterfly effect. As someone who had just been reborn, he didn't dare to be too reckless. When Zhao Yongping gave up on Super Mario, he only slightly protested.

As for whether Tetris should be called Chinese Blocks, he didn't plan to argue. If it were really called Chinese Blocks, considering the poor environment in the country, it might not be able to keep the name.

So, it would still be called Tetris. Aleksey was a Soviet, and it would be fitting for him to work on it. It would be a favor to him. That's why Yang Yun came to him.

But Yang Yun had a small request. He opened the game interface and gestured for Aleksey to play a few rounds.

"This is..."

Aleksey's eyes lit up. Although the screen was full of black and white dots, the blocks had seven variations. As soon as one block landed, the next one appeared, slowly falling down.

As long as a layer was filled, it would disappear, and the blocks above would fall down. It seemed to be an endless game with no end, but the blocks fell faster and faster, leaving less and less time for changes, making it very exciting and highly playable.

Aleksey was completely engrossed.

Tetris was so famous that it was available on almost any device that could run games. Yang Yun remembered playing it on a color TV with a remote control.

This game was suitable for all ages, easy and enjoyable, with pleasant music and a beautiful melody. Later, it evolved into a two-player battle mode, cooperative play with friends, and even a 3D interface. It had so many applications that even U.S. soldiers used Nintendo GameBoy to play Tetris to relax on the battlefield. It was a must-play game to pass the time.

Aleksey played a few rounds and quickly realized something, saying excitedly, "Yang! The value of this game is no less than Snake! This game definitely has a market! I guarantee it will sell like crazy!"

Yang Yun smiled faintly: "Of course, I know its prospects are good. I didn't come to you to estimate its market, but to ask if you want the copyright and patent rights for this game?"
