Super Tycoon

During Nintendo's NGC pre-sale, Zhiduoxing, Changni and Sega Bandai all increased advertising costs. In many areas, you can see the game console ads as soon as you turn on the TV. If you go to some electronic markets, you can see a huge advertising curtain.

And Nintendo began to **** third-party game manufacturers, which also turned those game manufacturers into sweets. Fortunately, everyone still has some bottom line, at least to ensure that their company can make money.

During this period, third-party game manufacturers sold their games quickly, and their royalties were reduced. Their revenues have grown tremendously, and they have the confidence to develop more and more playable games.

However, some companies lacked fun games, so they started loan development, or hurriedly developed a game to launch, hoping to sell for a high price.

Many of these companies have lost a lot of money, and even several companies have fallen into the dilemma of running out of liquidity, and have to be controlled by some game machine manufacturers or merged into other game companies.

Zhang Yang handed over these matters to his subordinates to deal with, and he came to the R&D center to see the test of the new handheld.

This new handheld was developed by Zhiduoxing Group in cooperation with Chaowei, Eagle Weida, SanDisk, Lianxiang and other companies. Zhang Yang personally designed the exterior.

This appearance is very similar to the previous life gBa-sP, something that looks square and square, and the screen and the dashboard are opened.

This design concept naturally comes from the flip phone.

Now clamshell phones have appeared, but they have not been completely popular, and the mainstream is still the straight phone. However, the technology of flipping is basically mature.

The characteristic of the handheld is portability. To be easy to carry, the smaller it is, the easier it is for consumers to like it. At the same time, the buttons and the screen cannot be small.

At this time, the advantages of the flip cover are reflected. When it is folded, it is very small and the palm is large. But when opened, the screen and keyboard are large enough for children to play and adults to play.

When Zhang Yang came up with the idea, the company's design department almost blew the rainbow fart. But the appearance of the game console is secondary, the most important thing is performance and gaming.

At present, the mainstream 32-bit microprocessor is aRm in Britain. In the future, they will also be partners favored by many mobile phone manufacturers, featuring low energy consumption and high cost performance.

Compared with Intel, this company is nothing, but in the future, this company is very beautiful in the field of mobile phone chips. They are subsidiaries of Apple.

Zhang Yang originally planned to purchase the microprocessor of this company, but was persuaded by Chaowei Company. We are the top manufacturers in the processor industry. Are you going to purchase other companies? But there is an agreement between us, if we have, you have to purchase ours.

According to the previous sales of Zhiduoxing handhelds, Zhiduoxing z4 can certainly sell tens of millions of units. Even if a processor only earns two or three dollars, it can have a profit of hundreds of millions of dollars.

These profits allow them to develop a specialized microprocessor, absolutely no problem.

Chaowei did not disappoint Zhang Yang, and quickly designed a theoretical architecture, so that the research and development progress of the z4 project did not lag, and Chaowei also guaranteed that not only would it consume less energy and its performance would not be weak.

Eagle Weida took over the work of the graphics display chip and developed a special compact graphics card, which was also planned to be sold to those mobile phone manufacturers.

At present, the smartphone is not much. The mainstream is PDa, which is a handheld computer, and the function is not too much. Many of them coincide with the Wenquxing electronic dictionary, and are liked by many business people in developed countries in Europe and America.

Lianxiang Group is also planning to launch a PDa, so this time, it also encouraged others to develop small and energy-saving electronic components to prepare for their new products.

Zhang Yang is also planning. This cost will continue to be reduced in the future. It can give the electronic dictionary a comprehensive upgrade, and can also be used as the core of the new learning machine.

Among the core components of the z4, only the screen is not produced by Zhang Yang Investment Company, but Changchun Caijing will be put into production immediately, but they are all producing large-size LCD screens, and the screen used by the Zhiduoxing z4 is only 3.2 inches.

Looking back, Changchun Caijing is definitely going to launch more size production lines. The companies that you invest in can't produce the screens you need. How can this be done!

"President, this is the finished product we made. The foundry that the shell is still looking for, the price is very cheap, and can have multiple colors, and the most classic transparent color."

"The battery uses the latest lithium battery. Our z4 can be used for about six to eight hours when the battery is fully charged. For 32-bit games, there is really no way to guarantee the power consumption, and the screen should be brighter. Backlit LeD was a last resort."

"However, with this rechargeable battery block, you can no longer buy the No. 5 battery anymore. And our charging head can ensure that you can play while charging, the power can increase, and you can also use the car charger to charge."

Zhang Yang raised his head: "Is it safe to play while charging, is it safe? There is no battery explosion ~ ~ explosion or burning?"

"Ah? I didn't find it." Zhao Mingsheng froze for a moment, never heard of it.

"Schedule a person to test, charging for a long time, will it cause damage to the battery, or even a danger. And playing while charging, will it affect the heat dissipation, causing danger."

"Okay." Zhao Mingsheng looked at his secretary and wrote down the president's words.

"We still use SanDisk cF card? Hasn't the capacity increased?"

"No need to increase it. For general games, it is enough to use a 64m card. Some of the larger ones are enough to use a 128m card. The maximum capacity supports 1g. However, the original game cartridge we gave is still 64m. Yes, after all, what we give is Super Tetris or something, the capacity is very small."

"Yes. What about production costs?"

"Currently adjusting two production lines~www.readwn.com~ If three shifts are produced, it will be about one million units a month. We have calculated that the cost of one unit is about one hundred dollars."

Hundred dollars? The price is a bit high, but if you think about the appearance, there are some screen sizes, brightness, and downward compatible features at home, then it should be no problem to sell it for $130, or even higher.

Coupled with the subsequent sales of game cartridges, the development cost can certainly be recovered in a short time.

"President, it's not that we don't want to reduce costs. There are freight charges. Besides, representatives of Chaowei and Eagle Weida are also there. If their factories are put into operation in the mainland, then the cost will definitely be reduced, at least one will be reduced by ten. The dollar is easy, maybe more."

Zhang Yang raised his hand: "I'm not saying that you didn't do well, so let's make less of it first. Junsheng, how much is prepared for the game?"

"Is a hundred models enough?" Li Junsheng looked confident.

"Very good, the initial period is enough. The translations are all done? Hurry up and do the test. I hope that in the fourth quarter, this will be listed globally. At the end of August and early September, the company will start publicizing, and we will give Nintendo another surprise! "
