Chapter 2 The First Three-Year Plan
For the idea of leaving, Takahashi has been thinking about it for a while, and it is not a lack of purpose.
Although the talent pool is not particularly abundant, a group of talents who can take charge of themselves have gradually emerged in various fields.
In the first three-year plan, Takahashi has transferred these talents accordingly.
In the three-year plan, Takahashi also planned the development route of 10,000 households in the future. For example, the future development direction of the hardware department, what kind of hardware to make.
The future public relations direction of the animation department is how to move from 2D animation to 3D animation.
The same is true for video game production, exploring how this can enter the 3D realm.
At Sega's recent solo dealer game show, Sega presented a new fighting game, VR Warrior, in the face of declining box sales.
The reason why this game is "new" is not its game system, how much it has changed compared to other fighting games.
Rather, it has shaken off the shackles of previous 2D fighting and entered the 3D era.
Although there are few polygons, the characters look square-headed, and they don't even have the concept of textures.
But the arcade owners who were present still felt that such a picture was very shocking, and it was qualitatively different from previous fighting games.
After several arcade owners who could play the game tried the operation of the game for themselves, they immediately decided to buy the game.
But......
When they heard the price and delivery time of the box, they hesitated......
Three million yen!
One arcade rack 3 million yen!
Although the price of arcade frames has been increasing year by year in recent years, the highest price of other frames is about 1 million yen, except for motion games.
Why did the frame of this "VR Warrior" sell for 3 million yen?
Although Mr. Hayao Nakayama personally explained how advanced the technology used in this arcade machine was, showing off the thick lump under the frame.
But everyone still said that the price was unacceptable.
The final order volume was also much lower than expected, although the wave of unemployment swept across the country, making business in the arcade hall much better for a short time.
However, playing games in arcades is not a cheap expense. I really don't have a job anymore, and I can't keep playing in the arcade.
Therefore, compared to the wealth of the previous two years, although many bosses are optimistic about the game "VR Warrior", they are afraid to let go and buy it.
Unlike Sega, Manho's first three-year plan did not cost money to build a 3D game arcade.
Although it is also necessary to make 3D games, because Wanhu has a special hardware department, and there are graphics cards specially manufactured by the hardware department for 3D graphics operations, the cost of making 3D games will not be very high.
The graphics card developed by Wanhu now, BM compatible machine, according to human terms, is a personal computer.
You must know that for example, the GG handheld of Wanhu will have a camera cartridge with a camera made by the manufacturer to match. You can shoot with one click, then connect the data cable to the included thermal camera and print directly.
There are even more bizarre accessories on PCs that use a universal interface.
The graphics card made by 10,000 households is one of these thousands of strange accessories.
PCs are highly compatible and scalable. Although it was originally intended for use in various business offices.
But with the gradual popularity, it has entered the thousands of households of the American people.
There are also more games made specifically for personal computers.
Because of the characteristics of personal computers, the games launched on this are mainly text adventure games. There are even many games where maps, characters, walls, are made up of a variety of characters.
Although after the appearance of the magic sound card and the innovative technology sound blaster card, the magic programmer no longer has to find ways to program, using the buzzer to achieve all kinds of music, but there is still no good way to do it on the screen.
Although Wanhu's graphics card is not the first graphics card to be introduced to the market, companies such as ATI have been trying to make graphics cards since eight or nine years.
However, compared with the expensive graphics card prices of companies such as ATI, the pricing of Wanhu's graphics cards is lower, which makes people more impulsive to buy.
And, compared with those graphics cards that only have the function of enhancing image quality, Wanhu has also soldered an audio chip on the motherboard of the graphics card.
It's not quite on par with the innovative Sound Blaster card, but at least it can be heard.
This can be a great advantage over other graphics cards when the personal computer interface is tight.
These are all advantages when facing users, if there are any advantages of Wanhu's graphics card for game makers. It is also necessary to say that Wanhu has begun to cultivate the "universal drive" in the past few years.
You must know that although personal computers are extremely compatible, different devices from different manufacturers are plugged together and combined in different permutations, and many unexpected problems are often encountered.
These problems, when players feel troubled, make game developers feel more headaches.
Wanhu's graphics card and Wanhu's universal drive, although it cannot completely eliminate the errors caused by this contradiction, but it can greatly reduce the probability of their occurrence.
Takahashi emphasized at the meeting, "Many colleagues thought that if our handheld machine was victorious, the launch of the console would definitely be a victory. In the report, there is a report about the design cost and promotion cost of a host. Although Wanhu has money, no one can predict whether he can win the host war, not to mention win, or at least gain a firm foothold before he burns all the money.
That being the case, why don't we look at the PCs that are already very commonplace?
Our hardware – the graphics card, goes with our games. Wouldn't it be good to have more than 10 million personal computers in the world and make them our game consoles?
Sun Ming, didn't you buy your son a game console, you bought him a computer.
I believe that on personal computers, our graphics cards and games have a lot to offer. ”
At the end of the meeting, the first three-year plan of 10,000 households covered a wide range. The heads of each branch have understood and comprehended, and are ready to carry it out.
Takahashi, on the other hand, went to the airport with the little geisha while they were thinking.
Although Takahashi wants to distribute his shares to all the employees involved in the construction of 10,000 households.
But after studying for a long time, there is no very good division.
In the end, the uncle suggested that he help Takahashi with the trusteeship first.
Takahashi's compensation for all 10,000 employees can only be higher wages and better treatment.
Strive to make all 10,000 employees abide by the eight-hour work week. Be a "lazy" who doesn't work hard.
