Chapter 575 The Birth of an Electronic Pet (Seeking a Monthly Ticket)

Lin Qidong and Xia Tian sat in Fang Mingyuan's office with puzzled expressions. On Fang Mingyuan's desk, there was a small box.

"Young Master Fang, we have made something, but Lao Xia and I don't understand, what's the use of this thing?" Lin Qidong said with a look of puzzlement.

Fang Mingyuan opened the box, and inside was an egg-shaped plastic shell toy that was twice larger than a normal watch. In the middle was a black and white display screen. When it was opened, a chicken was displayed inside... If it was Fang Mingyuan's previous life People under the age of 30 here, seeing it, I believe ten out of ten will think of that "chicken plague", the electronic chicken plague that flooded
In the mid-90s, since Japan launched the electronic chicken toy, it is a kind of handheld game console that is very simple in the eyes of later generations.On its LCD screen, there is a small moving animal. As its owner, it is necessary to take good care of it: feed it, play games with it to relieve its boredom, urinate on its shit, and coax it to sleep.It is not idle either, it will make a "beep-beep-" sound every few hours to remind you that it is hungry and bored.If it is not taken care of in time, it may starve to death, die of illness, or even die of anger.It was such a simple little toy that became popular all over the world when it was launched.Supposedly in Japan this thing sold millions in just a few months
The original intention of "electronic chicken" was to cater to the hazy motherhood of high school female students. Unexpectedly, this simplest little game has received extraordinary affection. These owners have trouble sleeping and eating for their electronic chickens. Saddened by the "death" of the Tamagotchi.What's even more exaggerated is that the frequency of going to the toilet has greatly increased for all Japanese company employees who keep electronic pets-to hide in the toilet to take care of the electronic chicken.

Under the hype of shrewd Japanese businessmen combined with religious Buddhist temples, Japan even has a unique business of "electronic chicken cemetery", which is a burial for unfortunately "dead" pet chickens.It is specially for those owners who accidentally forgot to change the water and feed, and "dead" the electronic chicken, have a chance to redeem their sins.

And soon, the electronic pet craze that originated in Japan spread to all over the world. In China, almost everyone had an electronic chicken at that time, and all the electronic chickens were sold in the night market.However, compared with the authentic products worth RMB [-] or [-], these counterfeit products are much cheaper.In many countries around the world, every student has a mobile phone.It forced the government education departments and principals of primary and secondary schools in China, Thailand, South Korea, the United States and other countries to even ban him from entering the campus.

Fang Mingyuan remembered half a year ago that besides hula hoops, Huaxia also had such an electronic chicken plague. In fact, its production technology is not complicated, it is just a matter of creativity.So he asked Lin Qidong and the others to carry out research and development, and now they have produced the finished product.

Fang Mingyuan played for a while, and felt that it was roughly the same as the one in his previous life - after such a long time, he couldn't remember exactly what functions the electronic chicken had back then.

"Uncle Lin, Uncle Xia, you guys did a good job with this stuff." Fang Mingyuan smiled, "Is this just a sample?"

"It's just made like this, show it to Young Master Fang first." Hearing Fang Mingyuan's agreement, Lin Qidong naturally put a smile on his face.

"Well, make a few more and have more patterns. Not only chickens, but also kittens and puppies." Fang Mingyuan thought in his heart that he would first send this thing to Japan to apply for a patent, and then produce it himself For sale, it is better to simply sell it to a Japanese company and get a sum of money back directly.He still remembered that the Japanese company in his previous life earned as much as 5000 million US dollars.

Although, for him today, 5000 million US dollars is not a huge amount, but if you make a fortune, who will make more money?
"Okay, okay, we understand," Lin Qidong nodded repeatedly.

"Young Master Fang, can you tell us what this thing is for?" Xia Tian couldn't hold back anymore, and asked.

"What's it for? A toy?" Fang Mingyuan was startled.Such a simple and clear thing, these two people haven't seen it yet?
"Toys?" Lin Qidong and Xia Tian shouted in unison. After half a year of tossing, they dared to make a toy.But who likes this thing, such as chickens, cats, and dogs, looking at the simple picture, and there are only a few simple instructions, anyway, they don't realize how fun it is.If you are interested in this, how about raising one yourself?

Fang Mingyuan quickly realized why Lin Qidong and Xia Tian were so surprised, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lin, Uncle Xia, this thing is mainly intended to be sold to the Japanese, as you know, there are many small people in Japan, and the living space is too small Many places prohibit keeping pets because of the troubles that may be caused by keeping pets. But many Japanese children are very interested in keeping pets, so I thought of developing this electronic pet.”

"You call this an electronic pet?" Xia Tian pondered for a moment, the name is really vivid, chickens, cats and dogs are not all pets.

"To put it bluntly, this electronic pet is a substitute for real pets. Modern people, especially urban residents, keep pets for practical reasons. If someone's cat really catches mice, what will the owner do? Disinfecting it and having a headache? So, keeping pets is actually more to meet people’s spiritual needs: the widowed elderly keep pets to relieve loneliness like they treat their children, and children treat pets as playmates. Communication between people, meeting the needs of loving and being loved. But keeping pets is not an easy task for urban residents in Japan. The various expensive expenses, as well as various regulations in the apartment, as well as pet laxation are all troublesome. and this kind of electronic pet will not have such troubles.”

"Hmm..." Lin Qidong and Xia Tian nodded, Fang Mingyuan still made some sense.It's just that for them, it is really unimaginable, even in the city, how can it be difficult to raise a cat and a dog?
"Uncle Lin, did Sister Lian and the others like dolls when they were young?" Fang Mingyuan laughed.

"I like it, how can I not like it, hugging a doll, so cute that they don't even let go of eating and sleeping, they are still fighting, and in the end they can only be one by one, this is Ansheng." Lin Qidong immediately replied.

"It's like a doll, and it's stronger than those dolls. It can communicate with you through graphics and sounds. Is it more popular with children than models that rely on people's imagination to communicate? Don't you two After underestimating it, I dare say that its future profits will not be less than 3000 million US dollars." Fang Mingyuan laughed.

"Three... Ten million dollars" Lin Qidong and Xia Tian had seen the world in the past few years, but they were still so startled by Fang Mingyuan's words that they almost jumped up from the sofa.With a profit of 3000 million US dollars, the sales will undoubtedly be even more substantial. Such a huge sum of money can be created by such a simple thing?

They couldn't believe it, but what Fang Mingyuan said made them believe
Looking at the dubious looks of the two of them, Fang Mingyuan secretly laughed in his heart. They will not understand how strong the needs of the young generation to love and be loved will be in the future.

Although the electronic chicken has been popular in the world for two years, because its operation is too simple, it will make people feel boring after a long time, and it will eventually be abandoned by players.

But the electronic chicken is only the ancestor of the electronic pet world, followed by electronic dogs and electronic dinosaurs.

With the development of network technology, the kind of portable electronic pet gradually loses its appeal and gradually retreats to the second line.Internet electronic pets are quietly rising again.In the previous life, there were n many websites that provided netizens with various types of online pets.Even in many games, the role of pets has been added to meet everyone's psychological needs.

However, Fang Mingyuan believes that time will tell everything. When electronic chickens become popular all over the world, as the creators of electronic chickens, Lin Qidong and Xia Tian will definitely leave a mark in the history of electronic pets.

"Uncle Lin, Uncle Xia, well, this thing can come to an end for the time being. Next, in addition to paying attention to the production of md, I hope that you can recruit a group of elite soldiers from among the technicians in the factory, Get ready to receive the ss production line." Fang Mingyuan said solemnly, "Chairman Uda Zhong has officially informed me that on this Christmas, or New Year's Day, Sega Corporation's new game console, ss, will be launched."

Lin Qidong and Xia Tian couldn't help but smile. Although they already knew that Sega Corporation is currently developing a new game console after MD, and it is said that the performance is significantly improved compared to MD, but they did not expect that it will be launched at the end of the year If it is said that the production line of ss can be obtained, then for the electronics factory, it will undoubtedly leap to a new level

Fang Mingyuan looked at the two of them with a smile. In fact, in the previous life, the official release of SS would not be until November and December of [-]. However, due to Fang Mingyuan's involvement in the operation of Sega Co., Ltd. In the name of Co., Ltd. and Station Company, a group of experts from the Soviet Union was searched for, which greatly enriched the strength of the two companies. Coupled with Cameron's support in the United States, the release of SS Saturn was fully a year ahead of schedule.

As for PS, its main competitor in the previous life, it is said that it has not yet been fully finalized at this time.

To be honest, Fang Mingyuan is looking forward to the day when the ps is officially released, to see if the king in the previous life can continue to defend his throne. Will the war between Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo in the future turn into a four-nation rivalry?
