Rebirth 1984: Starting with the development of Hanka

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

Hundreds of construction workers are working hard to level the land or dig foundations.

Forklifts, bulldozers, excavators, dump trucks and many other machines can be seen everywhere on construction sites.

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

Of course, Wujiang Group provides money, and it is not low.

When money is available, workers will be motivated to work.

After walking around Lujiazui, Zhao Ye went back.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to Shanghai Art Film Studio, he saw secretary Liu Yinyin running over with a worried look on her face and telling him bad news.

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

"This news is really terrible. The good days of Wujiang Group's monopoly on digital BBs are over!" Zhao Ye sighed and said, "Forget it, since Motorola is also going to sell digital BBs, let's give it a welcome gift. !”

"Boss, Motorola is our competitor, what kind of meeting gift should we give it?" Liu Yinyin asked confused.

Zhao Ye smiled and said: "Please inform me that the price of the Imagine digital BB will be reduced by 500 yuan on the day when the Motorola digital BB is officially released!"

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

After the price reduction, it is 2000 yuan.

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

The Imagine digital BB machine is not much more advanced than the Motorola digital machine. If you want to defeat the Motorola digital machine, you can only rely on the Chinese display BB machine. Before the Han display BB machine was developed, we could only fight a price war with each other.

In this era, there are really too many people in China who worship foreign products. They do not think that Imagine, a brand owned by Wujiang, is higher-end than Motorola.

Based on the brand alone, the Imagine digital BB machine wants to be sold 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 powerful can national self-confidence return.

In 2024, people at that time, whether men, women, old or young, are full of national self-confidence, and Western countries are just like that, nothing special. With a hundred times of effort, a thousand times of hardship, and ten thousand times of perseverance, the Chinese people have created a China speed that astonishes the world in all walks of life. They have successively surpassed Canada, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and RB, and are second only to the United States to become the second largest country in the world. Big economy!

However, before the 21st century, most domestic brands defeated foreign brands through price wars.

At this time, many businessmen in the country were ready to make a move.

"Imagine digital BB machine sales are so good, I expect Motorola digital BB machine will sell even better! If we can be the agent of Motorola digital BB machine, we will make a fortune!" Yanagawa said excitedly.

The Computing Institute Company has given up on the "technical industry and trade" route because Zhao Ye poached too many technical personnel.

The Computing Institute Company makes a lot of money by acting as an agent for foreign PCs.

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

Now that I saw that Motorola was going to release a digital BB machine, I immediately thought of being an agent for this product.

"Lao Liu, this is a rare opportunity. You have to personally help the Institute of Computing to win the agency rights for Motorola digital BB machines!" Yanagawa's colleague suggested.

"Okay, no problem!" Yanagawa smiled confidently and nodded, thinking that Motorola must be eager to open up the Chinese market now, but my company, the Computing Institute, is also considered to be very powerful in the country and has made great achievements in distributing PCs. success.

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

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

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

The two parties were in love with each other and hit it off immediately!

Just when the industry and dealers were shocked and ecstatic about Motorola's digital BB machine.

Zhao Ye didn't take it seriously. After he finished giving instructions to 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 no longer needed to come over frequently to supervise.

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

Taping out determines whether the chip design can be used.

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

It takes three months for tape-out and three months for mass production. Tap-out is actually trial production.

Therefore, it will take six months at the latest to get the chip on the market.

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

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

Zhao Ye carefully checked every game project.

There is basically nothing wrong with the development direction of the game, except that the art and music are slightly different from the original version. Zhao Ye cannot demand that the game be exactly the same as the original version. This is simply unrealistic.

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

"I spent some time at Shanghai Art Film Studio, where 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 everyone to the story of "Calabash Brothers" and how to adapt it into a game.

As soon as he finished speaking, an RB game developer in the audience loudly said: "Boss, Nintendo has released an adventure game called "Super Mario" in the past two months. The gameplay of "Calabash Brothers" you just designed is Isn’t it somewhat similar to it?”

Hearing this, Zhao Ye smiled and admitted generously: "Well, yes, but our game is innovative. "Calabash Brothers" has seven gourds with different colors representing different super powers. The gameplay will be more Diverse.”

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

"Super Mario" became a hit and has now become popular in Japan and the United States, shocking the gaming industry.

A similar game might actually become popular.
