Chapter 433 Patents (Page 1/1)
Suddenly the company was acquired, and then the new owner took the entire creative department across the Atlantic, although there were only three people, but it was also the whole department that was not, saying that there were two classic game ideas, and the result was two small games that even elementary school students would not play, well, one is a puzzle, and the other can exercise the fingers, maybe suitable for enlightening kindergarten children!
Although there is a lot of reluctance, after all, it is the first task assigned by the big boss, and even if you don't like it, you have to do your best to complete it.
The eyes of their slightly disappointed eyes, Chen Dahe naturally saw it in his eyes, but he didn't explain much, to be honest, these two games are really not very eye-catching, almost all of them slowly became popular after a few years of creation, and if you don't really play it once, you won't be able to experience the charm.
At this time, Chen Dahe turned his head to look at Oliver again, "Didn't the person in charge of production in the company come over?"
"I am," Jim raised his hand and smiled, "Former deputy general manager of Attack Games, and manager of the creative department, after the resignation of the production manager yesterday, I am now also the manager of the production department, and I am currently in charge of the company's business until the boss appoints a new general manager." ”
"Oh," Chen Dahe looked back at him, "how much can the company produce now?"
Jim didn't think much about it before giving the answer, "We have a total of two assembly workshops, a home machine and an arcade machine, the monthly output of home machines is 5,000 units, the limit is 6,000 units, the arcade machine is 1,000 units, the limit is 1,300 units, as for the cassette we do not produce ourselves, all of them are outsourced to other companies to produce, and the specific production quantity is ordered according to market sales." ”
Uh, Chen Dahe's eyes were glazed, and he turned his head to look at Oliver again, I asked you to buy a small company, are you really rushing to buy the youngest one?!
Oliver shrugged, smiled and didn't speak.
Jim wasn't too satisfied, looking at the Asian man's expression, he was not satisfied with the company's output, so he continued, "Sir, we are already a medium-sized game company, in fact, many game companies don't even have an assembly shop, maybe two or three people get together and come up with a small game that I don't know if it can sell or not, and there are really not many like us, and we have a few games that sell well!"
I don't know why, when he talks about the little games that he doesn't know if they can sell or not, Chen Dahe always has a feeling that he is talking about himself.
"Uh," Chen Dahe smiled, "Please don't get me wrong, I don't mean to look down on it, I just want to know, if you want to expand the production capacity tenfold, do you have any good ideas?"
If what Jim said is true, then this company is really not too small, finally Oliver did a good thing, did not buy him the worst handover, as for the production, he doesn't know what the annual sales of the best-selling game consoles are now, but think about hundreds of thousands of units should be about the same.
"Of course," a hint of ridicule flashed in Jim's eyes, "give me a million dollars, and I can expand my production capacity twenty times, and the entire electronics company on the West Coast of the United States will be my factory!"
Chen Dahe pouted, it seems that the division of labor in the electronics industry in the United States is already very fine, and it seems that the technology diffusion is also doing well, the cassette machine has only been invented for a few years, and now it has been popularized.
Then he nodded at Oliver, who still looked at Jim with his arms folded, looked at Jim and smiled, "From today onwards, you will be the general manager of Attack Games, and one million dollars will be credited to the company's account today, and according to this gentleman's request, the production will be increased to twenty times, and after the development of the game is completed, I will add another 500,000 dollars in publicity funds, but this money will not be handed over to you, I will arrange it myself, that's it, okay, you can ...... ,”
"Wait," Chen Dahe suddenly interrupted her, looked at Jim and asked, "What does the controller of the game console look like now?"
As soon as they heard this, everyone was stunned, and they didn't even know what the game console looked like, but this one dared to design a game?
Especially Oliver, she thought that Chen Dahe had done a detailed market research, but she hadn't even seen a game console until now, and she dared to say that she could buy an airplane with these two games?
"Uh," Chen Dahe was also a little embarrassed when he saw their faces, and quickly explained, "I mean, are there any new game console patents released now?
"Yes," said Jim, the new general manager of the company, as if nothing had happened, "the controller consists of a joystick and a few buttons, and all game consoles are the same, there is no difference, of course, except for Atari, other companies have paid royalties." ”
It's all the same?!
Chen Dahe smiled, pulled a piece of paper casually, picked up a pen and drew a handle on the paper, and handed it to Jim, "Find a few hardware R&D engineers to develop this new handle, and then apply for a patent, well, the patentee is Jim, of course the patent belongs to the company, and all the home game consoles of the Attack Company will be equipped with this kind of handle in the future." ”
The three heads came together, and Oliver's gaze narrowed into the distance.
It's nothing special, just one D-pad plus three buttons.
Chen Dahe explained, "The D-pad is divided into up, down, left and right, which is used to control the direction, and the other three buttons represent action, selection and pause, which I think is more convenient to operate, and if there is a complex game in the future, add new buttons." ”
Jim put down the paper in his hand, then clenched his hands and tried to manipulate it a few times, and his face immediately showed excitement.
This thing is much better than those two game ideas! He is a senior game fan, even if there is no physical object, you can see that this kind of controller is easier to control, win this patent, even if you don't produce games in the future, Attack will be famous all over the world, and then the giant Atari in the game industry will bow to Attack, no matter how good the company is, you must respect the habits of consumers, otherwise competitors will teach him how to behave!
And this kind gentleman asked him to be the patentee, and he will definitely be famous all over the world at that time, and I am very excited to think about it!
The three of them came and went as fast as they came.
After arranging for someone to send the excited trio away, Oliver looked at Chen Dahe curiously, "Do you often play games?"
Lying on the sofa, Chen Dahe turned his head to look at her, "I never play." ”
This sentence is true, he has never played a game in his life, not only does he not play games, but he rarely even watches TV movies, and he is often ridiculed by Sissi for being an antique.
There's no way, after playing the Lianliankan of later generations and the greedy snake that will grow fat, it is difficult for him to be interested in the current game that is no different from the point of light, and the same is true for movies and television, the generation gap of decades is not so easy to make up.
