Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Chapter 161 The Problem of Su Rui Electronics

Oda Chong doesn't care whether video games are male or female at all, he just wants to get attention.

Now he is very popular with girls.

"After a while, the cartoon called Pokemon will be broadcast on TV Tokyo, and there is a game called Pokemon that can be played. If you are interested, we can find time to play together another day."

"What's a Pokemon game like?"

"It should be something like manipulating Pokémon to fight monsters."

"Ah? So cruel, babies are so cute, do you want to use them to fight monsters?"

"That's right, I just want the baby to eat and sleep, and then get married. It's too cruel to fight monsters. Sure enough, you boys don't have a good thing, and you even want these cute babies to fight."

The girls started chatting hotly.

Oda Odashi really got the attention of the girls.

"However, I think it may be very interesting. You think, the cute baby also has combat power and can protect the master. This actually feels quite good."

Among the girls, a pretty girl said.

Oda Chong's heart trembled, and those eyes shone with light.

"Do you think so too? I think so too, but I didn't dare to say it just now." Oda Chong said a little excitedly.

"Well, yes."

Oda Chong is very happy.

Unexpectedly, there will be unexpected gains. She is not against the appearance of video games, so maybe there will be many opportunities to chat in the future.

Well, you have to work harder!

Oda Chong secretly began to cheer himself up.

……

Now, the most popular word in Japan is video games.

The industry, which is just over a year old, already has an audience of millions and is still growing.

It seems that the gold mine of video games has finally been dug out of the ground, blooming with dazzling golden light.

At this moment, whenever a company invests a little money into this industry, it will immediately make a fortune and almost never lose money, which has also led to countless companies rushing to it.

For this, Zhu Yuxing had long expected.

In the previous life, video games also experienced such an explosive period, and countless companies poured into it, and then the video games at this time are also the most mixed, with uneven quality, but this is also an era of frequent masterpieces.

Almost every once in a while, there will be the kind of super classic games that will not be out of date for more than ten years.

Needless to say, several series of its own company, each series has become an industry benchmark.

Several companies such as Surui Electronics, Vaders, and Jinping Entertainment have gradually developed their own series of games and a series of audiences.

This is a booming era of video games, and it is also a big gold rush era.

Today's newspapers, magazines, TV shows, and the Internet are full of video games.

Even the Internet upstart giant YOO has also invested in the game.

After Nagao Yu was rejected by Zhu Yuxing for investment, he had other thoughts. Since Zhu Yuxing did not accept investment, he simply formed a team and developed games by himself.

But his focus is on home computers, ready to develop games suitable for the Internet.

Widers develops arcade machines, YOO develops home computer Internet games, Suri Electronics develops console games and handheld games, and many other companies such as Jinping Entertainment drink soup under Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and Surui Electronics respectively. The video game field has developed its own path.

Time comes to September, it seems that several companies are slowly entering a stable development period. There is nothing special about Zhuyouxing, only the Pokemon game that has been promoted, except attracting many girls. Besides, it doesn't seem to be anything special.

This morning, after Hayakawa Zhiren completed the preparations, he held a meeting immediately after all the employees came to work. First, he summarized the work results of the recent period of time, then planned the work content for today, and finally confirmed the progress of the plan. See if there is anything that can be optimized.

"The development of the portable version of the Sun Knight handheld has come to an end, just waiting for the handheld to go on sale."

"The development of the HM1 handheld is still a little difficult, and we need some time and budget."

Hayakawa Zhito looked at the engineering development staff: "What's the difficulty?"

"The main problem is the battery. We tried a lot of batteries, but we couldn't achieve the amazing 30-hour battery life of GB."

After saying this, the person in charge of the project development whispered again: "Actually, I can't even hold on for five hours."

Hayakawa Ukito frowned slightly: "Can't you increase the battery capacity?"

"Yes, yes, but according to our ergonomic research, the most suitable weight for holding and playing with both hands for a long time should not exceed 300 grams. Once it exceeds, it will be difficult for players to persist in playing for too long, and they will feel very tired. ."

Hayakawa Ukito didn't understand the details of such data, but with the engineer's long-term research, there should be no problem in thinking.

He thought about it and said, "Now, besides batteries, what else can be used to lose weight?"

"Of course there are places where weight can be reduced, and that is the casing of the game console. We originally used engineering plastics, which are very strong and durable, but the disadvantage is that they must be thick enough to resist injuries such as falls."

"What about replacing it with an aluminum alloy or something?"

"This... the cost has gone up again. The production cost of a single game console may exceed [-] yen, so we will be a big gap compared to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment in this regard."

At present, the material of aluminum alloy is still a very sophisticated thing. Once this kind of shell is used, the cost will be greatly increased.

If this is the case, then if the game console is still sold at 8000 yen, I am afraid that it will hardly make any money.

If Takeyusei can earn [-] yen with one machine.

Then they can only earn one or two thousand yen per machine, which is a bit big.

After hearing this, Hayakawa Ukito couldn't accept it.

For a while, Hayakawa Ukito fell into thought.

Then he asked again: "Leave these things aside, how long will the battery last with a weight of 300 grams?"

"Only four hours." The engineer's voice was even lower now.

This battery life is really not good, or even a little bad.

Competitors have enough fun games, and the consoles can also have sufficient battery life, which is an obvious advantage.

The biggest factor in power consumption of game consoles is the game console's chip itself.

It's so confusing.

At this moment, an employee suddenly rushed in from the door, and he looked a little flustered.

"Sorry Minister, I didn't mean to disturb your meeting, but I think there is one thing you should take a look at right now. Youxing Electronic Entertainment has released a new notice."

Hayakawa Zhiren froze for a while, how can this Yuxing Electronic Entertainment still have something to predict?Are they ready to announce a new 32-bit console?

This is inevitably a bit too fast, and the premature launch will seriously affect the sales of current game consoles.

Hayakawa Ukito couldn't sit still, stood up and said, "This is the end of the meeting, let's go and see what's going on."
