135. Home Game Consoles

On October 13, after Li Guangyu had breakfast, he rushed to Xingyu Group accompanied by Du Yonghong and others. 35xs Li Xuemei brought him good news yesterday, the group's first home game console has been developed.

Li Guangyu went to the group today to take a look, what is the difference between what the group developed and what he told them about it and the Xiaobawang game console he played when he was a child.

After Li Guangyu arrived at the group, he did not go to his office, but went directly to the game design company.

When Shigeru Yamamoto saw Li Guangyu coming, he immediately greeted him and bowed and said hello.

Li Guangyu said with a smile: "Mr. Yamamoto, there is no need to be so polite, and our group does not need to bow to the leadership. ”

Although Shigeru Yamamoto has heard Li Guangyu say this many times, he still does it.

Shigeru Yamamoto said: "Li Sheng, this is my expression of respect and gratitude to you. If it weren't for the Xingyu Group that gave me such an opportunity, maybe I would still be a dispensable person at Nintendo. ”

Li Guangyu is not persuading him, he has already told him many times, he still wants to be like this, and Li Guangyu has no choice.

Li Guangyu said: "Yesterday, Ms. Li Xuemei said that your home game console has been developed?"

Shigeru Yamamoto immediately replied: "Yes Li Sheng, our family game development department, after nearly a year, has finally lived up to the trust of you and the senior management of the group, and officially completed the development last month, and now there are two prototype tests, and it has been determined that there is basically no problem yesterday." ”

Perhaps the senior management of the group knew that he had come here, and when Li Guangyu and Yamamoto Shigeru were discussing, Li Xuemei, Qin Peng, Zhao Xiaoyan, and Wang Xinyu all came here.

After Li Guangyu saw a few people coming, he said: "Let's go and see the specific test situation of the game console first, and then discuss the next thing." ”

Shigeru Yamamoto led a group of high-level executives to the game console project development team, and at this time, Gong Qiming, the manager of the game console development department, was asking two testers to test the two prototypes.

When Li Guangyu saw these two prototypes, he still saw some familiarity. This game console is in the shape of a box, with a card slot, which is used to install game cards. The operating handle of the game console is also made according to what Li Guangyu said, and the D-pad is not much different from what he played when he was a child.

At this time, the test was playing the two games of Xingyu Cube and Tank Battle developed by Xingyu Company.

Li Guangyu asked: "Manager Gong, are there any problems with this game console at present, and can it be finalized and produced?"

Gong Qiming replied confidently: "Li Sheng, after these days of testing and improvement, we have found no problems with this home game console, and now it can enter the production plan." ”

After hearing this, Li Guangyu said: "Your department has worked hard for nearly a year, Mr. Yamamoto, the bonus of their department has been doubled. At the same time, the department has a week off, just leave the maintenance staff. ”

Gong Qiming said happily after hearing this: "Thank you Li Sheng, I will arrange the left-behind personnel." ”

Lee then asked the testers who were playing Tank Wars to start over, and Lee played the game with the two of them. Li Guangyu played this game when he was a child, and now he plays it in this way here, and his heart is full of memories.

It may be that Li Guangyu hasn't played this thing for too long, and his technology is really not very good, which seriously drags down the testers.

After a period of freshness, Li Guangyu and Li Xuemei and others came to the conference room, and Zhang Ziyu had already come here.

After Zhang Ziyu saw Li Guangyu coming, he said, "Li Sheng, I'm sorry, I'm late today." ”

Zhang Ziyu has never been late since he became Li Guangyu's assistant. On the first day, after determining Li Guangyu's itinerary, she usually came early, but today Li Guangyu has been in Xingyu Group for so long, and she came here.

Li Guangyu asked, "Ziyu, is there something wrong with you?"

"I'm sorry Li Sheng, my mommy is hospitalized, so I'm late today. Zhang Ziyu said.

Li Guangyu didn't blame her for being late at this time, but asked, "Ziyu, that aunt is not serious, do you need my help?" ”

Zhang Ziyu replied: "Thank you Li Sheng for your concern, she is also unwell due to fatigue, just rest more." ”

Li Guangyu said at this time: "Ziyu, your salary is not low now, the same as the vice president, with an annual salary of 1.2 million, why don't you let your parents quit their tiring jobs and do a little light work?"

When Zhang Ziyu heard Li Guangyu say this, her heart was full of grievances, she had already persuaded her parents, but they didn't listen. They want to earn a little more and give my brother more help in the future, what can I do.

Zhang Ziyu said: "Li Sheng, I have persuaded you, but if they want to continue to do it, I can't help it, I will discuss it with them again after this time." ”

It was also inconvenient for Li Guangyu to ask too much about Zhang Ziyu's family affairs, and said to Zhang Ziyu: "I will give you two days off, and you will accompany your mother in the hospital for the past two days." ”

"Thank you Li Sheng, no need, my mommy is now accompanied by my father and brother, and I am not one of them. Zhang Ziyu said.

Li Guangyu said: "You have rarely taken any vacation since you became an assistant, and these two days of vacation will be your compensation for these few months, and you will also spend more time with your family." ”

Zhang Ziyu saw that Li Guangyu insisted on giving him a vacation, so he no longer insisted. said to Li Guangyu: "Then thank you Li Sheng." ”

After Zhang Ziyu said goodbye to Li Guangyu, he hurried to the hospital again.

After Zhang Ziyu left, Li Guangyu asked, "Xuemei, what is the approximate cost of one of our home game consoles?"

Li Xuemei replied: "Li Sheng, the most expensive thing we have today is mainly IC chips, each of which costs $12, and a home game console costs $65. ”

Li Guangyu then asked: "What about our game card, how much does a game card cost?" ”

Vice President Wang Xinyu said: "Li Sheng, it is relatively cheap in this regard, because the games are developed by our group itself, so there is no copyright problem, and it only needs to be ported to the game card." Now we have three games in one game card, namely Donkey Kong, Xiangjiang Cube, and Tank War, which cost $60. ”

Li Guangyu also knows that not long after the rise of the electronics industry, the prices of various original components are relatively high, which is as low as the Xiaobawang in later generations.

Li Guangyu asked: "Vice President Zhao Xiaoyan, how did the sales department plan and what is our ex-factory price?"

Zhao Xiaoyan had obviously already discussed it, and immediately replied after Li Guangyu asked: "Li Sheng, we plan to sell this first time in a bundle, and the game console and game card will be sold at the same time, and the factory price will be set at $199. ”

Li Guangyu has no objection to this price, which is still very suitable today. Naturally, there is no comparison with arcade machines, an arcade machine makes a profit of a few hundred dollars, and this is only a few dozen dollars of profit, but the home game console market is much broader, and the sales volume is much more than that of arcade machines.

Li Guangyu asked, "What about the game cards, how do you plan to sell them here?"

Zhao Xiaoyan replied: "Li Sheng, in this regard, we plan to implement three-in-one game cards, and the factory price of each game card is 99 US dollars. ”

Li Guangyu said: "Now we just want to complete our production as soon as possible, how is our group arranging in this regard. ”

"Li Sheng, at present, we plan to have the Wu family do the OEM for us, and our arcade production company is also adjusting the production line, and they can also provide part of the output. Li Xuemei said.

Li Guangyu also did not want to expand the factory area in this area, except for some chips, printed circuit boards and other technical things, the rest could be handed over to the company in Xiangjiang for production and assembly. Xingyu Group only needs to provide samples, which can also reduce the management difficulty of Xingyu Group.
