Peng Yifei left to find a dictionary of simplified characters, which seemed to be overkill. However, there is also the meaning of Bao Zixuan to test him here, after all, as a driver and bodyguard, if there is a little action, then the unlucky one is the boss.

Now Bao Zixuan's task is to give priority to the writing of traditional Chinese Wubi software, these days he basically stays in the office at night and sits in front of the computer, and enters the life of a code farmer at one time.

When the traditional Chinese characters were about to be written, Peng Yifei came back and brought back all the dictionaries that Bao Zixuan requested. A total of 32 copies were brought back, from the first edition of the Simplified Chinese Dictionary to the latest version in 1978, a total of 16 large and small editions, and Peng Yifei brought back two copies of each edition.

Seeing these buns, he smiled, he still didn't explain clearly! But this is also very good, it is very rare for his subordinates to be able to unconditionally carry out the tasks assigned to him, and to be able to complete them with quality and quantity.

It can't be said to be a reference, I don't want people to doubt it. This secret was to be brought into the coffin by himself.

This time, not only Peng Yifei came back, but Junpei Yokoi also came over. And also brought his latest product, the Gameboy handheld console.

Yokoi has been under a lot of pressure this year, and although the game company that started as the Black Cloud Group is still one of the most profitable subsidiaries of the entire group. However, none of this has anything to do with him, Yokoi, who came to the company for a year and received the highest salary in the whole group, but did not bring a penny of income to the company except for spending money. Seeing that Jiro Furujo, a subordinate in the past, was already the director of the production center at the same level as himself, he was very anxious.

When Bao Zixuan invited him to join, he promised that he could return to RB twice a month. However, in order to speed up the development of the gameboy, he only went back once in a year, and it was to go back to RB to recruit hardware engineers. It can be seen that the crazy and serious attitude of its work, and the attitude of the whole RB before the Plaza Accord is very commendable.

Junhei Yokoi said to Bao Zixuan: "Your Excellency, President, according to your requirements, all technical indicators can meet the listing conditions. We've done a lot of testing and currently have no problems running Vanity Cubes and Snake on Gameboy consoles. ”

After all, Black Cloud Games has been established for too short a time, and it does not have its own game inventory. Moreover, the hardware performance of the first-generation Gameboy console is not very high, and it can only run some simple games.

After a year or so, the sales of Xiangjiang Cubes have basically stagnated, after all, there are more and more good games, and players will become more and more picky. Bao Zixuan asked Junhei Yokoi to transplant it to the Gameboy handheld game console. Snake as a 1976 game has long since been phased out of the arcade market.

Junhei Yokoi personally found the Ghost Games Company and bought the copyright. After the game is sold in the arcade, it is difficult for small game companies to carry out secondary development, and they do not have the strength to do so. At this time, the black cloud game company is willing to pay a high price to buy the game copyright, why not!

Atari is not as generous as Black Cloud, in fact, Atari had already negotiated with them before Black Cloud Games found Ghost Games.

The Atari 2600 has its own strong side as the absolute console overlord of this era, and they think that as long as you can access the game on the Atari 2600 console platform, it is your blessing, which leads them to be stingy with game developers.

Snake, such a classic game, Atari has a one-time buyout price of only $2 million. They thought that if Atari didn't buy out the game, the game would be dead. There is no other console platform that can compete with Atari.

At this time, Junpei Yokoi of Kuromo Games approached them to buy the rights to the game, and when Atari got angry, Ghost Games agreed without saying anything about the one-time buyout price of $5 million.

Black Cloud Games is much more sincere than Atari, and it is also very refreshing when it comes to paying.

He was very happy to hear that Yokoi Junhei actually grabbed the snake bun in the hands of Atari, one of the main competitors of Black Cloud Games. Now you can grab the copyright of the snake to weaken the opponent's strength, which is a thing worth celebrating, and the rise of Atari in the previous life relied on the game Space Invaders, and now part of the game copyright is in the hands of Black Cloud, it is impossible to sell it to Atari, and it is difficult to rise.

Bao Zixuan said to Yokoi: "Yokoi-kun, you can introduce the hardware configuration of this game console to everyone." ”

Yokoi: "Yes, Your Excellency, President. The gameboy has a four-color black and white screen, a four-digit CPU, and the game cartridge has a capacity of no more than 16MB. It is composed of 5 buttons, including our patented D-pad, which is very convenient for adjusting up, down, left and right, and may be more suitable for players on arcade machines. But on small consoles, our D-pad is overwhelming, and we did a lot of experimentation for that. ”

Bao Zixuan knew that this game console only had half the performance of the original Gameboy launched by Nintendo, but he was already very satisfied, after all, the current Gameboy was released about 10 years earlier than the previous life.

When the Intel 8086 chip appeared, the world's computer technology has been formed, and later technology upgrades and transformations are based on this foundation for research and development. Now that the basic framework is in place, the rest is much simpler.

All that's missing is creativity, and in the era of arcade domination, who would have thought of making a console the size of the palm of your hand. That's why Nintendo didn't succeed until 10 years later.

Bao Zixuan: "How about the CPU and screen performance, how did you discuss it with Gu Chengjun." ”

Junhei Yokoi: "The CPU was made 8 years ago, and the production line we bought at Sony is completely ready to be produced. As for the LCD four-color black and white screen, we have purchased a full set of equipment and technology from RCA. As long as we enter the mass production stage, our own factory can meet the production of all parts, so it can be said that we do not need to buy any parts from outside. You only need to buy raw materials. ”

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan was very relieved, when many people didn't understand why he wanted to buy so much technology. thinks that he will enter other fields indiscriminately with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, and he will be finished sooner or later. It once made many people and enterprises wait to see the jokes of the Black Cloud Group. Today I can finally be relieved, his layout is slowly exerting its power.

If there is no strength to produce ordinary chips and LCD screens, what should RB parts suppliers collectively raise prices after the business is particularly hot. Black Cloud consoles can only be purchased in the United States with the required parts. The price has risen by at least about 20%, and now that Heiyun can produce and use itself, there is no problem of rising parts prices.

At this time, except for Panasonic and Sony, the RB companies were all consistent and very united. Black clouds have to be guarded against!

Bao Zixuan said: "What is the production cost now, and how many units can be produced per day if the production capacity is fully released." ”

If you are a general hardware development engineer, you may not know how much production capacity you can achieve, but as a person who has worked on the production line for more than 10 years, Junhei Yokoi. Before coming to the United States, I calculated 3 times with my old subordinates on the production cost of Gameboy and the maximum production capacity that can be released.

Bao Zixuan asked him this because he understood Yokoi's character, and if he was replaced by another engineer, he wouldn't dare to ask like this, in case he couldn't answer, it would be bad to have psychological pressure.

Junhei Yokoi: "Now the cost of each bare metal of Gameboy is 40 Hong Kong dollars, and a box of game cartridges costs 6 Hong Kong dollars. The main cost is that the chip and screen are more expensive. If you want to achieve mass production, you can produce 30,000 units per day in the first month, and if you release all the production capacity, you can reach 50,000 units. ”
