Rebirth 1984: Starting from the development of Hanka

Chapter 87 The Motorola Digital BB Machine Will Be Released Soon

At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Ye made a special trip to Lujiazui. All the residents here have moved out.The entire Lujiazui has become a big construction site.

Hundreds of construction workers are in full swing leveling the land or digging foundations.

On the construction site, many machines such as forklifts, bulldozers, excavators, and dump trucks can be seen everywhere.

In order to support the construction of the Shanghai Wujiang factory, the municipal government really used a large number of construction teams and machines.

Of course, the Wujiang Group gave money, and it was not low.

When the money is in place, the workers will be motivated to work.

After wandering around Lujiazui, Zhao Ye went back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back to Shanghai Animation Film Studio, he saw the little secretary Liu Yinyin running over anxiously, telling him the bad news.

"Boss, Motorola just released the news that the Motorola digital BB machine was successfully developed two months ago, and it has entered the mass production stage, and it will be sold in the global market soon!"

"This news is really terrible. The good days of Wujiang Group's monopoly on digital BB machines are over!" Zhao Ye said with a long sigh, "Forget it, since Motorola is also going to release digital BB machines, let's give it a meeting gift." !"

"Boss, Motorola is our competitor, what gift should we give it?" Liu Yinyin asked puzzled.

Zhao Ye smiled and said, "Go ahead, the Imagine digital BB machine will be reduced by 500 yuan on the day when the Motorola digital BB machine is officially released!"

Currently, the national retail price of Imagine digital BB machine is 2500 RMB.

After the price reduction is 2000 yuan.

Zhao Ye estimates that the price of the Motorola digital machine is probably between 2000 and 2500.

The Imagine digital BB machine is not much more advanced than the Motorola digital machine. If you want to beat the Motorola digital machine, you can only rely on the Chinese display BB machine.And before the development of Hanxian BB machine, it can only fight the price war with the other party.

In this era, there are too many people in China who worship foreign countries and foreign countries, and they don't think that Imagine, a subsidiary of Wujiang, is more high-end than Motorola.

Just relying on the brand, Imagine's digital BB player wants to sell at the same price as Motorola, which is obviously overthinking.

The country's economy is still relatively backward, and people are still not confident.

Only when the country becomes prosperous and strong can national self-confidence come back.

In 2024, people at that time, whether men, women or children, are full of national self-confidence, and Western countries are just like that, nothing special.With a hundred times of hard work, a thousand times of hardship, and ten thousand times of perseverance, the Chinese have created China's amazing speed in all walks of life, surpassing Canada, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and RB, and becoming the second largest in the world after the United States. Big economy!
However, before the 21st century, most domestic brands defeated foreign brands through price wars.

At this time, many domestic businessmen are ready to move.

"The sales of Imagine digital BB machines are so good. I guess Motorola's digital BB machines should sell even better! If we can be the agent of Motorola's digital phones, we will make a fortune!" Yanagawa said excitedly.

Because Zhao Ye poached too many technicians, the computing company has given up on the "technical industry and trade" route.

And the computing company is an agent of foreign PCs, earning a lot of money.

Yanagawa and others have already tasted the sweetness of getting rich by acting as an agent of other products, and they are addicted.

Now seeing that Motorola is going to release a digital BB machine, I immediately thought of acting as an agent for this product.

"Old Liu, this opportunity is rare, and you have to personally help the computer company win the agency right of Motorola's digital BB machine!" Liu Chuanzhi's colleague suggested.

"Okay, no problem!" Liu Chuanzhi smiled confidently and nodded, thinking, Motorola must be anxious to open the Chinese market now, but my computing company is also considered to be outstanding in China, and has made great achievements in agent PC. success.

This successful experience is also applicable to agent digital BB machines.

On the same day, Yanagawa contacted Motorola's office in China.

The people in the office immediately reported the news that the Computing Institute wanted to represent Motorola's digital BB machines to the headquarters. After studying the strength and background of the Computing Institute, the headquarters immediately decided to make the Computing Institute the general agent of Motorola's digital BB machines in China.

The two parties are simply lovers and concubines, hit it off!
Just when the industry and dealers were shocked and ecstatic for Motorola's digital BB machine.

But Zhao Ye didn't take it seriously. After he ordered Liu Yinyin, it was the same as usual.

However, as the animation production team became familiar with the production style and rhythm of "Pokemon", Zhao Ye didn't have to come to supervise frequently.

At this time, the MMC chip has also entered the tape-out stage.

Tape-out determines whether the chip design can be used.

Successful tape-out indicates that this chip has passed the factory's "assembly line production steps" with zero mistakes throughout the process, and the subsequent production process will also be based on this.

Tape-out takes three months, and mass production takes three months. Tape-out is actually trial production.

So at the latest six months, to get the chip on the market.

At this time, Zhao Ye returned to the capital to check how the various game projects were going.

"Dragon Quest", "Contra", "Red Fortress", "Sandraman Snake", "Legend of Zelda", "Final Fantasy", and "Pokemon" are more difficult to develop than passion The series is much more difficult, and so far, the seven games are still in development.

Zhao Ye carefully checked every game item.

There is basically nothing wrong with the direction of game development, except that the art and music are a bit different from the original version, and Zhao Ye can't ask the game to be exactly the same as the original version, which is simply unrealistic.

Seeing that none of their seven project teams made mistakes, Zhao Ye was very satisfied.

"I stayed in Shanghai Animation Film Studio for a while, and they are currently producing "Calabash Brothers" in addition to "Pokemon". I think "Calabash Brothers" can be adapted into a game!"

Zhao Ye talked eloquently, and then introduced the story of "Calabash Brothers" and how it was adapted into a game.

After finishing speaking, a RB game developer in the audience shouted: "Boss, Nintendo has released an adventure game called "Super Mario" in the past two months, and the gameplay of "Calabash Brothers" you just designed is Isn't it somewhat similar to it?"

Zhao Ye smiled when he heard this, and admitted generously: "Well, yes, but our game is innovative, "Gourd Brothers" has seven gourds, different colors, representing different superpowers, and the gameplay will be more exciting. Diverse."

After a pause, Zhao Ye asked back, "So, do you think if we develop "Calabash Brothers", will it become popular?"

"Super Mario" exploded, and now it has become popular in Japan and the United States, shocking the game circle.

A game like this might really catch on.
