Chapter 99: Palm Entertainment 1st Generation

The XRM 16-bit chip has not yet been developed, and the core strategic project of the new venture electronics company in the next ten years, the progress of the Pangu host will certainly not be fast. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

However, it is not without good news, after the mass production of X8 chips, the "Palm Entertainment 1st Generation" handheld game console developed by Xinchuang Electronics based on X8 chips has reached the stage where it can be mass-produced and listed.

"Boss, you see this is the current palm entertainment terminal with replaceable game cards. Liu Zhendong took out a prototype from the table, "Recently, we have undergone more than 100 modifications, and the experience has reached the level of being able to go public!"

Lin Qi picked up a square handheld, turned on the switch, and the interface for selecting the game appeared, Lin Qi selected the default game "Chinese Cube", and the operation was basically the same as the previous handheld with non-replaceable game cards.

Next, Lin Qi found the part to replace the cassette, removed the original game cartridge, replaced it with a new game card, and after that, the interface of the selected game has become a shooting game "Earth Defense War".

The name of the game is very pretentious,In fact,The picture displayed on the black crystal screen is only a simple pixel,Constituting a humanoid,After that,This pixel villain,You can move and jump left and right,Dodge all kinds of "aliens" falling from the sky。 Aliens are rudimentary and only square pixels.

The player has a gun as a prop, and when you click to shoot, you can shoot a bullet to eliminate a pixel of the "alien" body, and when all the pixels on the alien's body are shot, it means that an alien is eliminated. Once the player is touched by an alien, it is equivalent to death and the game is over.

The speed at which the aliens appear will get closer and faster to the player. Players need to dodge without touching the enemy, while shooting bullets to cut and destroy them.

Although the graphics are a little simpler, after Lin Qi figured out the gameplay, he also felt that in this era, it should be regarded as a game with playability and creativity.

"It's all about cost. As the boss, Lin Qi does not need to participate in research and development, but he has a great say in the experience of the product itself.

"The cost is cheaper than the original handheld with a 6502 chip. Previously, the production cost of a handheld with a non-replaceable cassette was as high as HK$85, but the cost of a new handheld is expected to be only HK$70. Liu Zhendong said excitedly, "The cost of the game card is only 20 Hong Kong dollars." ”

"What about the supply of various parts?" Lin Qi asked.

"In addition to the shortage of X8 chips, there are more or less electronic parts for others. Liu Zhendong said.

"That's it!" Lin Qi muttered to himself, "In other words, the mass production of our products is limited by the production capacity of the Lishan Research Institute?"

"Yes. Liu Zhendong was a little helpless, "If the chip technology is licensed to a Japanese semiconductor company, it is estimated that within three months, the production capacity will reach one million chips." ”

"No!" Lin Qi shook his head and said, "The supply cost of Japanese manufacturers does not have any advantages. What's more, we absolutely cannot rely on Japanese manufacturers for our core components! Because the company's main competitors in the future should be Japanese companies!"

"Then we need to let domestic suppliers increase the production capacity of chips!" Liu Zhendong said a little helplessly.

……

"Palm Entertainment 1 Generation" uses X8-bit chip, so its game performance is 3 times more than that of the 6502 chip. At the same time, the price of the X8 chip is also far lower than the price of the cabbage 6502 chip.

At present, with a monthly production capacity of 100,000 X8 chips, Lishan Semiconductor Company's quotation for new venture electronics is as low as 25 Hong Kong dollars.

"If you want to make money, increase production capacity!" Lin Qi found the contact person of the Lishan Research Institute and said, "100,000 pieces per month is also considered mass production? In the short term, our orders are at least 1 million pieces per month! In the long run, maybe the orders will reach more than 5 million pieces per month, and whether you can make this money depends on your ability!"

In order to lure the domestic Lishan Research Institute to cooperate with the expansion of production capacity, Lin Qi even promised that he could make a full advance payment three months in advance.

You must know that the new venture electronics company is relatively strong in the supply chain, and under normal circumstances, it is very good to pay a very small deposit in advance to sign an order contract. Sometimes, even without paying a penny in advance, the supplier is completely asked to bear the pressure of capital cost, and wait until the new venture electronics gets the goods within three months before paying the supplier.

Instead, they paid the supplier in advance, which was the first time that a new startup electronics company had been so generous.

"What? 1 million per month in the short term, and 5 million per month in the long term?" The leaders of the Lishan Research Institute felt as if a mountain made of gold had smashed over!

The Lishan Research Institute was shaken by this, although it is a state-owned military research unit, it is one of the few units that is not short of money. But there is no shortage of money, only relatively speaking, just starvation. If it weren't for the X8 chip, which impressed the domestic high-level leaders, the state allocated 10 million yuan to build a semiconductor production line with an 8-micron process per month. The production capacity of 100,000 chips per month can meet the demand for most of the country's computer chips in terms of domestic demand for computer chips.

However, Lin Qi's words instantly made the top students of the Lishan Research Institute feel that they were not doing well enough!

Stimulated by the order of Xinchuang Electronics, Lishan Research Institute of course did not look for the support of domestic superior departments, asking for money, equipment and people. In the end, Lishan Semiconductor Company, whose registered capital was increased to 100 million yuan, was born!

Historically, there has never been a semiconductor company, compared with those semiconductor company giants in developed countries, and it is even less valuable than a high-precision lithography machine in the other party's workshop.

However, the CPU factory that can spend 100 million yuan to engage in its own technical route is a very large support in terms of the current domestic financial revenue situation. You must know that in 81 years, the state's financial support for the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone was less than 100 million yuan!

The domestic finance allocated 100 million yuan, coupled with the advance payment of 50 million Hong Kong dollars from the new venture electronics company, made Lishan Semiconductor Company feel unprecedentedly powerful.

In order to better communicate and coordinate with the major customer of Xinchuang Electronics, Lishan Semiconductor Company decided to take most of the new production capacity to Shenzhen to put into production.

If other local enterprises do this, the local government has long taught them the truth of life. However, Lishan Semiconductor has a background in military aerospace, so it can be put into production wherever it wants, and it is not restricted by local governments.

……

November 1981, Shenzhen. Luohu District.

Near the Yinhu Reservoir, 100 acres of land surrounded by Lin Qi is a drop in the bucket for Luohu District.

Moreover, Lin Qi paid 100 million, what is the concept of 100 million, before 79 years, Shenzhen's GDP was not 100 million.

Even now, Shenzhen's large-scale construction and GDP are brought by engineering infrastructure, but the total GDP has not reached 1 billion yuan a year, but most of those investments are loss-making, and have not really brought financial revenue to Shenzhen.

Lin Qi's driving force for Shenzhen's development is equivalent to half of the results of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone's investment attraction. At the same time, 70% of the local government's finances in Shenzhen are related to Lin Qi's industry. As a result, Lin Qi enjoyed treatment in Shenzhen at this time, and he may have far exceeded that of any businessman.

Now Shenzhen, there is only a sign of the special zone, and it is called Huazi everywhere. The whole of Guangdong Province is currently considered a poor province in the whole country, and the only rich city is Guangzhou. The biggest difference between the poor brothers in Shenzhen and Guangdong Province is that they have only obtained the brand of special zone.

The entire land in Shenzhen is not too valuable now. And the land that Lin Qi fancied was not particularly valuable land in the prosperous urban area, but it was no different from rural land.

Shenzhen's normal land can be worth tens of thousands of yuan per mu, which is not an overestimate. But the 100 acres auctioned by Lin Qi were bought at 1 million acres. Although there are dozens of villas on it as gifts, the valuation is not worth 100 million!

It is precisely because of this that the local government of Shenzhen felt embarrassed, so it made a lot of supporting facilities around Lin Qi's villa area. Banks, post offices, shops, kindergartens, primary and secondary schools, hospitals, etc., will be developed as a key urban area.

For this suburb with no more than 3,000 residents, it is quite unusual.

When Lin Qi came to the "Lin Qi Villa" named after him, construction was already underway.
