Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 129 It's numb, everyone wants a piece of the pie
Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory.

Duan Yongping has just formed a technical development team, ready to reverse develop Nintendo's fc red and white machine.

However, at this time, Wujiang Group announced that it authorized any domestic company to produce "Qongqi Game Console" compatible machines (knockoff machines), and could sell Kirin 1 chips, MMC chips, and even customized game console motherboards at low prices!
When the news came out, it was simply jaw-dropping and unbelievable.

Is Wujiang Group planning to give up the domestic game console market?

Really ready to give up, but not completely.

Change from making money directly from ordinary people to making money from game machine manufacturers.

Game consoles are criticized in China, which is detrimental to the corporate image.

In the previous life, the country even issued a policy to prohibit the domestic production of game consoles.

Of course, this life may be different. After all, Wujiang Group has become the global game hegemony, stimulating the economy, driving the development of related industries, and earning foreign exchange for the country.

"Director Duan, what should we do now? It seems that we don't need to copy Nintendo's fc, just make a compatible machine of "Qongqi Game Console"! "A technician said at this time.

After a while, Duan Yongping nodded and sighed: "Well, you are right, we can just make a compatible machine for "Qongqi Game Console" now.It's just... After Wujiang Group announced this news, I am afraid that many companies will enter the game console market in the future, and the competition will be fierce! "

The technician smiled and said, "Director Duan, what we are making is not a game machine, but a learning machine!"

"Yes, yes, we are making learning machines, so we will definitely have the last laugh!" Duan Yongping laughed loudly when he heard the words, with a little self-confidence in his heart.

……

……

Since Wujiang Group announced the opening of the compatible machine standard of "Qongqi Game Console" to the outside world, companies have successively sought cooperation, including Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory.

Bing is expensive and fast, whichever company is the first to launch a game console can be the first to eat crabs and make a lot of money.

Duan Yongping came to Wujiang Group, found the relevant person in charge, and reached a cooperation.

Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory directly purchases Kirin 1 chips, MMC chips, game console motherboards, and even Wujiang game cartridges from Wujiang Group.The cost of game cassettes produced by Wujiang Group is lower than that of pirated versions, and the domestic price is very cheap, making it unprofitable for those who make pirated game cassettes.

However, Wujiang Group does not dare to pirate games on the Nintendo FC platform, so it depends on domestic pirates.

Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory purchased MMC chips, perhaps because they wanted to imitate FC games, and then add MMC chips to enhance the game screen.

Obviously, Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory is quite ambitious.Some companies did not buy MMC chips, so the pictures of these companies' copycat games are naturally much worse.

Duan Yongping has just signed a contract with Wujiang Group, and the first batch of orders can produce 10 Xiaobawang learning machines.Duan Yongping infers that there are not many households with 900 yuan in rural areas in China, but the income of people in big cities is relatively higher, especially in the first-tier cities such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Shanghai, where there are not many households with 1000 yuan.A Xiaobawang learning machine costs 10 yuan to make and sells for about [-] yuan. There should be quite a few families who can afford it, and [-] machines are placed in the national market, which should be easy to digest.

Wujiang Group does not dare to imitate the games on the Nintendo FC platform, but Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory dares to do it!
Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory will be the first company to eat crabs!
……

An executive from the Shenzhen company of China Electronic Devices also came to Wujiang Group to discuss cooperation at this time. Like Duan Yongping, he came to purchase Kirin 1 chips and game console motherboards.

Wujiang Group has already set the price, and no bargaining is allowed, saying that the production is limited, and pretending that if you don't buy it, you won't be able to buy it in the future.

The executive had no choice but to grit his teeth and buy it.

But as soon as he left the gate of Wujiang Group, a look of excitement flashed across the face of the executive, and he muttered to himself: "No one would have thought that as long as the Kirin 1 chip and game motherboard from Wujiang Group were bought back, the If you transform it, you can turn it into a learning machine! Selling game consoles in the name of learning machines will definitely become a hit!"

At this time, Duan Yongping didn't know that not only he had the idea of ​​transforming the game console into a learning machine, but also the people from the Shenzhen branch of China Electronic Devices Corporation.

There is more than one smart person in the world.

……

three days.

Fifty companies have reached cooperation with Wujiang Group to enter the game industry.

Good guy, this is not too fierce market competition, everyone squeezed in~
Zhao Ye looked at it and couldn't help but feel a little bit sad. In the end, only a few companies can survive in the market, which is very cruel.

There are already 50 companies now, and there will only be more companies entering the game industry in the future, which is a bit scary.

When Duan Yongping happily returned to Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory, a meeting was being held within Wujiang Group.

Zhao Ye said: "Through the observations of the past few days, many companies in China are preparing to enter the game market. This is a good thing for us, after all, they have sold a lot of chips and game console motherboards..."

Game cassettes are difficult to prevent piracy, which is also impossible.

The 16-bit game console that Wujiang Group is developing will use CD as the storage medium. Zhao Ye knows that there are many CD anti-theft technologies in his previous life, which is enough to ensure that no one can crack it in this era.

Once the game cannot be pirated, players can only buy "Qongqi 2 Game Console" and genuine games.

Right now, Wujiang Group has opened up the compatible machine standard of "Qongqi 1 Game Console".If they are allowed to pirate the Nintendo FC, they will only use the FC standard. In terms of processor selection, they will only choose the 8-bit 6502 or Z80 processor.

"How do you stand out when the competition is so fierce?"

Zhao Ye paused, glanced at everyone's faces, smiled slightly, and said, "Have you thought about how to stand out from the crowd?"

Everyone shook their heads, but didn't think of it for a while.

Zhao Ye said slowly: "If the game console is made into a learning machine that can learn typing and programming, do you think it can stand out from the crowd?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone was shocked. This idea is really amazing!

But if they knew that Duan Yongping proposed this idea earlier than Zhao Ye, they would be even more surprised.Their boss is a genius, they are used to it, and it is natural to accept it, but Duan Yongping is only a small factory, but he also has such unconstrained ideas, which is really admirable.

"Boss, your idea is really great, so shall we enter the learning machine market?" someone asked.

Zhao Ye pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "It's not necessary, as soon as we launch this learning machine, I'm afraid it will be copied immediately. Besides, if I can figure out how to develop a game machine into a learning machine, others may not be able to. We still Focus on the foreign market, and leave the domestic market to them, we will sell some electronic components and drink some soup..."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the room tried their best not to laugh.

What is drinking soup?It's obviously a big mouthful of meat, okay!

The main cost of game consoles is chips and game motherboards. Other companies cannot produce them themselves, so they can only buy them from Wujiang Group. The prices of these things are not cheap, but the actual cost is very low.

Let’s just talk about the Kirin 1 processor. The cost is only a few dollars. If you sell it for 100 dollars, you have to bite the bullet and buy it.

Moreover, the fiercer the competition in the domestic game industry market, the more Wujiang Group earns.

"Okay, let's get back to business. The sales of "Qongqi Game Console" in Europe, the United States and Japan have stabilized, but our factory has such a large production capacity, so we urgently need to open up new markets and sell the game consoles all over the world!In addition, release part of the production capacity and change the production line for the production of handheld game consoles! "

After so long, the handheld game console has naturally been successfully developed, and the degree of localization is very high.Batteries, chips, etc. are all manufactured by the group itself, except that the LCD screen adopts the STN LCD screen manufactured by Sharp.

Currently, Wujiang Group can only produce TN LCD screens. The color of this TN LCD screen is worse than that of STN. When used on handheld game consoles, the game screen will look very poor.

No way, Wujiang Group can only import STN LCD screens.

However, the liquid crystal factory under Wujiang Group is actively absorbing TN liquid crystal technology and conducting research on STN liquid crystal technology.At present, more than ten universities and scientific research institutions are fully cooperating with Wujiang Group to overcome STN liquid crystal technology.

With Wujiang Group's investment regardless of cost, it is expected that the LCD factory will soon be able to master the STN technology, thereby getting rid of the import dependence on Sharp's STN.
