At that time, the landmark of Huaqiangbei was still the 20-story Electronics Building, but many buildings around it were already under intensive construction, and these unfinished buildings were already taller than the Electronics Building.
The Electronic Building’s title of landmark is actually just a name.
The streets are crowded with people.
As the oldest electronics street in China, there are many joint venture factories here that produce electronic products such as radios, tape recorders, televisions, and electronic components.
Almost all electronic manufacturers and individual business operators from all over the country now purchase goods here, either to use them or to sell them back home.
Therefore, this place is full of people from all over the world.
As the saying goes, too many people means chaos, and too many dragons means drought.
Where there are many people, there are good and bad people, and there are countless bad people hiding on this street.
It is said that there are many scammers and thieves in Shenzhen.
The scammer Wan Feng and his friends haven't seen him yet, but the pickpockets have seen several of them.
Among them, there were some sneaky people who seemed to want to attack Wan Feng and his companions, but they were glared at by Han Guangjia, and the two young men turned around and disappeared in the crowd.
Zhang Shiqian told Wan Feng that the first floor of the Electronics Building was where most electronic products were traded, and that was where he bought the game console board.
This prevented Wan Feng from running around in the dark. The Electronic Building stood there very conspicuously, and even a blind person could see it.
At this time, the Electronics Group had not yet been renamed. In a few days, it would become SEG Group, and the first floor of the building would become China's first electronic product trading market specializing in selling domestic and foreign electronic components: SEG Electronics Supporting Market.
Although the official opening of this supporting market is still a week away, countless businesses have already moved into the building and many goods are for sale.
Of course, these electronic components are very advanced products and do not require much technical knowledge for those who know the business.
Wan Feng did not see any computer chip products in the market. This kind of product would probably only appear on the day of the official opening.
The chip industry in China is still under the control of a planned economy. It will only be dominated by a market economy when the electronics market officially opens.
The shops on the first floor of the Electronics Building are next to each other, and the area of each shop is very small. These are the one-meter shops that people in later generations talked about.
Don’t underestimate this one-meter shop. Countless billionaires have come out of this one-meter shop. Many famous business tycoons in later generations worked here in their early years.
Wan Feng took everyone on a tour of the building, looked at the shops selling various electronic components, and finally stopped in front of a counter specializing in game consoles.
There are at least four or five game console stores in this area, but they are all FC consoles and yellow cartridges.
If they don't sell FC, they won't have anything else to sell. Nintendo is the only company dominating the current game console market.
Sega, which previously focused on arcade games, will not release its 16-bit game console MD until the fall and winter of this year.
FC's dominance of the market made Nintendo have no interest in developing the next generation of game consoles, which gave Sega an opportunity.
Unfortunately, the way Sega, a gaming company, does things is just like the Russians, ignorant and arrogant.
The game type that Sega, which originated from arcades, looked down upon the most was RPG, as they believed that it was something only women played.
Men should play hard-core games, so most of the games they produce and the games on their platforms are difficult ACT-type games, and there are very few RPG-type games.
They underestimated the huge influence of RPG games and ultimately lost to Nintendo's SFC, which was released later than its MD, in the new generation of console war.
But all this has nothing to do with Wan Feng and the others. They only want arcade consoles, and these home consoles don't interest them at all.
The shop owner was a young man, and the woman dressed more fashionably might be his girlfriend. She asked Wan Feng and his friends in rather talkative Mandarin what they needed.
"Do you have arcade game boards for sale?" Wan Feng asked without seeing any boards on the counter.
"Yes, what game board do you want?"
"What game bases do you have? Tell me about them."
The young man turned around and searched around for a long time, and finally found a piece of printed paper from somewhere and handed it to Wan Feng.
Wan Feng took it and saw that there were a lot of names printed densely on it, all of which were names of games.
"I want to see the real thing."
"The substrates just arrived from Xianggang yesterday. There are several hundred of them, all the latest. They haven't been moved here yet and are all in the warehouse. If you want to see them, I can take you to the warehouse."
Go to the warehouse and take a look?
Wan Feng didn't say anything.
"My warehouse is not far away, more than a hundred meters from here. If you buy it, I can give you a 20% discount."
The average retail price of a substrate is around 3,000 yuan, with better ones costing around 4,000 yuan and inferior ones costing around 2,600 or 2,700 yuan. If Xu Bin can get a 20% discount, he can save nearly 50,000 yuan by buying 80 substrates.
Is there such a good thing?
"Is your warehouse really not far from here?"
"It's behind the building, just over a hundred meters away. All the warehouses of the businesses in the building are there."
Wan Feng frowned and thought for a long time before finally nodding and saying, "Then take us to have a look."
The young man said a few words to the woman, took out a briefcase from the counter, left the counter, and left the building through the back door with Wan Feng and others.
There is a winding alley outside the back door of the Electronics Building. I walked north along the alley for a long time.
It took about ten minutes to walk.
