Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory.

Duan Yongping has just formed a technical development team to prepare for reverse development of Nintendo's FC red and white console.

However, at this moment, Wujiang Group announced that it would authorize any domestic company to produce "Qiongqi game console" compatible machines (copycat machines) and 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 abandon the domestic game console market?

Really ready to give up, but not completely.

Instead of making money directly from ordinary people, we will make money from game console manufacturers.

Game consoles are widely criticized in China, which damages the corporate image.

In previous lives, the country would even issue policies to ban domestic production of game consoles.

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

"Director Duan, what should we do now? There seems to be no need for us to imitate Nintendo's fc. We can just make a compatible machine for "Qiongqi 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 "Qiongqi Game Console" now. It's just... After Wujiang Group announced this news, I'm afraid many companies will enter the game console market in the future, and the competition will be very fierce! "

The technician smiled and said: "Director Duan, what we make is not a game console, but a learning machine!"

"Yes, yes, we are building a learning machine, so we will definitely have the last laugh!" Duan Yongping laughed after hearing this, feeling a little confident in his heart.

……

……

Since Wujiang Group announced the opening of the compatible standard of "Qiongqi game console" to the outside world, companies have come to cooperate one after another, including Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory.

Soldiers are very fast. Whichever company launches a game console first will be the first to take advantage of it and make a lot of money.

Duan Yongping came to Wujiang Group, found the relevant person in charge, and reached 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 the game cartridges produced by Wujiang Group is lower than the pirated ones, and the domestic prices are very cheap, making it unprofitable for anyone who makes pirated game cartridges.

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

Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory purchased MMC chips, perhaps to imitate FC games, and then added MMC chips to enhance the game graphics.

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

Duan Yongping has just signed a contract with Wujiang Group. The first batch of orders can build 10 Xiaobawang learning machines. Duan Yongping concluded that there are not many households with 900 yuan in rural areas in China, but the income of people in big cities is relatively high, especially in 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 many families who can afford it, and machines should be easily digested in the national market.

Wujiang Group does not dare to copy games on the Nintendo FC platform, but Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory dares to do so!

Zhongshan Rihua Electronics Factory wants to be the first company to try something new!

……

An executive from the Shenzhen company of China Electronic Devices Company also came to Wujiang Group to discuss cooperation. 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. They say the production is limited, and they pretend 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 bite the bullet and buy it.

But just after leaving the gate of Wujiang Group, the executive's face flashed with excitement, and he murmured to himself: "No one would have thought that as long as he bought the Kirin 1 chip and game motherboard from Wujiang Group, After modification, it can be turned into a learning machine! If you sell the game console as a learning machine, it 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 people from the Shenzhen company of the Chinese electronic device company.

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, the market competition is fierce, everyone has squeezed in~

Zhao Ye couldn't help but feel a little sad after seeing it. In the end, only a few companies can survive in the market, which is very cruel.

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

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

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

Game cartridges are difficult to prevent piracy, and there is nothing you can do about it.

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

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

At present, Wujiang Group has opened up the compatible standard of "Qiongqi 1 game console". This is only a solution. Since it cannot be stopped, it can only actively embrace it. At least it can make money by selling chips and game motherboards. If they are allowed to pirate Nintendo FC, they will only use FC standards, and when it comes to processor selection, they will only choose 8-bit 6502 or Z80 processors.

“How do you stand out in this extremely competitive environment?”

Zhao Ye paused, glanced at everyone's faces, smiled slightly, and said, "Have you figured out how to stand out?"

Everyone shook their heads, not thinking about 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 we can stand out?"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone was shocked. This idea is really amazing!

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

"Boss, your idea is great. Are we going to enter the learning machine market?" someone asked.

Zhao Ye pondered for a moment and shook his head: "It's not necessary. As soon as we launch this kind of learning machine, I'm afraid it will be copied immediately. Moreover, if I can think of developing a game console into a learning machine, others may not be able to think of it. We still Just focus on the foreign market and leave the domestic market to them. Let’s just sell some electronic components and have some soup..."

As soon as these words came out, many people present tried not to laugh.

What is drinking soup? It's obviously just eating meat!

The main cost of a game console is the chip and game motherboard. Other companies cannot produce it themselves and can only buy it from Wujiang Group. The price of these things is not cheap, but the actual cost is very low.

Let’s just talk about the Kirin 1 processor. It costs only a few yuan. If it costs you 100 yuan, you have to buy it.

Moreover, the more fierce the competition in the domestic game industry market, the more Wujiang Group will make.

"Okay, let's get down to business. The sales of "Qiongqi Game Console" in Europe, the United States and Japan have stabilized, but our factory's production capacity is so large, so we urgently need to open up new markets and sell game consoles to all parts of the world! In addition, release part of the production capacity and modify the production line to produce handheld game consoles! "

After such a long time, handheld game consoles have naturally been successfully developed, and the degree of localization is very high. Batteries, chips, etc. are all manufactured by the group itself, except for the LCD screen, which uses STN LCD screens manufactured by Sharp.

Wujiang Group currently can only produce TN LCD screens. This kind of TN LCD screen is worse than STN in terms of color. When used on handheld game consoles, the game screen will look very bad.

There is no way, Wujiang Group can only import STN LCD screens.

However, the LCD factories under Wujiang Group are actively absorbing TN LCD technology and conducting research on STN LCD technology. Currently, more than a dozen universities and scientific research institutions are fully cooperating with Wujiang Group to conquer STN liquid crystal technology.

With Wujiang Group's investment regardless of cost, it is expected that LCD factories will soon master STN technology and get rid of their dependence on Sharp STN imports.
