Chapter 193 Teacher Su's plan

The three of them came up from downstairs, and when they reached the second floor, they heard noisy voices from inside, accompanied by voices.

On the second floor, there is a large workshop with several large tables, and each table is full of people, some are dismantling the machine, some are assembling, and some are holding various tools.

It looked like a cracking scene.

For example, when a new car is released in a certain company, someone immediately takes tools such as calipers to measure the data.

No way, I don't know how to do it myself, so I can only get other people's machines to crack, and then develop new products by myself.

When the three of them came up, someone happened to see it, so they hurriedly notified a person who was recording data with a notebook.

This person looked about thirty to forty, with a pair of glasses and crumpled clothes, he looked like a pure scientific researcher.

Seeing the three of Tang Wanru, he hurriedly talked to the people around him, and then trotted over.

"General Manager, why are you here?"

"Director Feng, let me introduce you. This is the big boss of the company, Mr. Su." Tang Wanru introduced each other: "Boss, this is Director Feng of the scientific research center, Feng Ronghua."

As soon as he heard that he was the boss of the company, Feng Ronghua hurriedly stretched out his hand, looking a bit cautious: "Boss."

"Hello Director Feng, welcome to join Pinnacle Technology." Mr. Su shook hands with him and asked, "How is working here? If you have any needs, you can ask them."

"Very good." Although Feng Ronghua was a little cautious, his eyes were full of fanaticism: "I heard that this is our own Chinese company, so I instantly felt like I was at home.

Although the nationality written on the ID card is British, I am still Chinese in my heart!So, as soon as I heard that it was a Chinese company, I immediately came here! "

In fact, many Hong Kong people in this era are patriotic, but later...

Later, those people were probably just grasshoppers after autumn.

"Thank you for joining the company." Teacher Su said, "Let's go to your office."

"Oh, boss, please come to the general manager." Feng Ronghua hurriedly pointed the way.

It is said to be an office, but it is actually a small cubicle, and the office is full of various documents and books.

Teacher Su didn't dislike it either, just swept a corner and sat down.

Feng Ronghua was busy pouring a few more glasses of water, "Boss, general manager, I didn't prepare for your sudden arrival, the office is in a mess."

"It's okay." Teacher Su waved his hand: "We just happened to come here, Director Feng, where is our scientific research now?"

He didn't go around in circles, and asked straight to the point.

Feng Ronghua was startled, scratched his head again, and then said: "Boss, although the scientific research center has been open for a long time and invested a lot of money, we have only made a little progress now, and we don't know how to produce the main ICs. , can only order from Niben..."

"So, how long will it take us to develop it?" Mr. Su continued to ask.

He didn't understand the things in the game, and it was impossible to conjure the design out of thin air and hand it over to Feng Ronghua for production, so he could only pin his hopes on these people.

"This...we can't guarantee the time. If we have to say a time, we hope to be able to manufacture our first product in the next year. Because the patents are all Japanese benzene, we have to bypass this patent. Develop a hardware patent independently."

Feng Ronghua said: "If we can't get around this patent, we will be tired of fighting with Japan Benzene in the later stage, which will affect the development of our company."

Teacher Su nodded: "Scientific research is not a treat for dinner, and it cannot be produced at once. You will not be able to produce products in the next year. I can give you time and money, but you must produce a decent product. .

Not just the TV game consoles that are currently on the market, but more playability, and consoles that other manufacturers cannot imitate for at least a year or two.

In addition, game consoles that meet the needs of the market must not be busy for several years, but produce a pile of garbage. This is absolutely not allowed!

Even if you really make a bunch of rubbish, you have to accumulate experience and find out the reason for the failure!

Since we are going to do it, we must do it right from the beginning, develop software and hardware together, and develop our own unique game system.

There must be gameplay rules, objects, game objectives, control methods, game characters, and other features suitable for young people today.

As for how to research, this is what your staff needs to do. Gather the manpower and material resources of the company for research and development, whether it is hardware or software. "

Feng Ronghua thought for a while: "Then we need a lot of financial resources..."

"Here." Teacher Su waved his hand, "The company will continue to invest regardless of human and financial resources, but you can't do useless work. In addition, I want to split up this scientific research center."

"Split it up?" Feng Ronghua looked at Teacher Su with a puzzled expression, and murmured, "How to split it up?"

"Split it into two departments, one department focuses on hardware development, and the other focuses on software, and you still manage it." Teacher Su said: "At the same time, I want to build our unique ecosystem based on the software and hardware of Pinnacle Technology. "

"Ecosphere?" Feng Ronghua was stunned for a moment, and Tang Wanru was also at a loss.

I don't know what words the boss is thinking of.

Teacher Su picked up a piece of paper and a pen, wrote and drew on it, and explained the meaning of the ecological circle at the same time.

After explaining the ecological circle in a broad sense, he went on to say: "What I mean by the ecological circle is that we formulate our own game rules and develop our game software, such as game software. We can build our own game The platform has a lot of games to choose from.

At the same time, we update our game software every year to ensure that the games are up-to-date every year, and there is no need to play those boring and single games.

Ensure the stickiness of our users, make them dependent on our company, and gradually form a closed-loop ecological circle.

And in terms of hardware, it also belongs to our ecosystem. For example, the unique game controller can only be played with our game software, and if you want to play our game software, you need to match our game hardware.

In addition to games, I also want to spread this ecosystem to other aspects, such as computers, and then extend it to electronic products that may appear in the future.

My design philosophy is this: we make our own system ecosystem.

This system ecosystem, I divided it into three steps.

The first step is to develop our own system, game software, chips and other hardware.

This system is not a game system, but a unique system of our own.

The software department focuses on this system.

The hardware department has just designed the matching hardware for this system.

In the second step, based on the foundation of our first step, we will further improve this system and open up the data of our company's products so that the data can be synchronized among multiple devices.

This step is like a person who buys our company's products has a unique identification code, and this identification code can log in to any product in our company, and no one else can use this identification code except himself.

In addition to being used in games, this system must also be able to be extended to other things, such as running on computers, such as electronic products that are smaller than computers in the future, and can also run on them.

This system should be able to dynamically upgrade our software and hardware to adapt to the continuous changes with the continuous development of future technology.

The third step is to close the system. It’s like we run a supermarket. Anyone who wants to sell goods in our supermarket must pay us rent.

For example, if a company develops a new game and wants to put it into our system, it must pay us rent, and at the same time accept our review, and then enter after confirming that there are no problems. "

Teacher Su continued: "So, your task is not only to develop games, but also to develop a unique system for me, because my goal is not to make game consoles, but to develop a variety of electronic products. .

I don't know how to do it, but I know the direction we need to go.

How to do it is a question that you need to consider. If there is no one, just recruit people, Europe, America, Japan, as long as they are willing to come.

My ultimate vision is that we have to develop two systems, one ID code, and be able to enter and exit both systems at the same time.

In the future, these two systems must be able to exchange data, one system is used on the computer, and the other is for smaller electronic products that may appear in the future.

But now, the two departments of the R&D center are focusing on this large system at the same time. In addition to being able to apply it to game consoles, it will also be applied to computers in the future.

I don't ask you to do it all at once, but there must be a clear direction. "
