After unloading the two attendants from Kita-Kyo (Harmony), Takahashi got on the plane to Yumoto and returned to Tokyo.

Less than a week later, Tokyo is still the same Tokyo, and there is no noticeable change in any place.

The production team of "Space Warrior" is still in the preliminary preparation stage, and there are designs for various actions, which are being verified little by little.

Because Nintendo's provision of a test machine was too stupid to effectively develop the game efficiently, Wanhu himself changed Nintendo's development machine.

After the magic change, the development machine is connected to a huge server, which can basically achieve the effect of running to see the actual effect after writing a program in later generations.

However, it is also costly. The price of a Nintendo development machine is only one million yen, and for all the companies that are interested in making games for home consoles, and even for the vast majority of ordinary people, although they do not have a million cash in their hands, in their opinion, one million yen is not money.

However, it is expensive to connect this server to the outside world, imported by IBM in the United States, at a price of more than 400,000 US dollars, and more than 100 million yen.

Therefore, there is only one server for the production of red and white machines. Connect a few terminals and distribute them to several project teams. Since everyone doesn't have to run the effect in real time, it can be used even if there is a time difference. Even if the time is not staggered and the car crashes, that is, slows down the calculation, the picture that should be seen can still be seen.

Wanhu will not be like some enterprises, in order not to buy expensive machines, just take manual piles.

Takahashi believes that machines are for people, and since machines can make people easy, why use manual piles.

Of course, this is because of the relationship between thousands of households with money, and the kind of enterprises that have borrowed high-interest loans and are in danger of going to the future have no funds at all, and it is impossible to think about the future.

……

"Knock knock!"

"Please come in. ”

"President, this is the "Tetris" imitation machine on the market, the box on the left is the imitation machine in the territory, and the box on the right is the imitation machine in the world, and the note of origin is pasted on it. The secretary's sister carried a large box, just under the indescribable two balls of meat, and placed it on Takahashi's desk tremblingly.

Although from a technical point of view, tackling piracy is simply impossible. However, Takahashi is not a dead house of technology, and all problems are solved by technology.

The headquarters of Wanhu is in Yueben, and the branch is in China, which is already a large enterprise in itself. Although the market is still mainly based on the capital, it has also begun to lay out the market outside the capital.

Each country has a different market because of its different national conditions.

For example, in China, it is difficult to force video game consoles, because New China attaches great importance to education and thinks that playthings are demoralized.

For example, in the United States, it is not possible to force video game consoles, although it does not reject video games, but because of the collapse of Atari, everyone is afraid of it.

In the face of different markets, there are different strategies, although there are many places where the market has not yet entered, or even has no plans to enter in a short period of time, but it is already necessary to start observing and preparing.

And how to understand a market?

Relying on consumer research?

Joke!

Investigation report is such a thing, the letter is okay for one or two points, and if you want to believe it all, it is a dead end.

It's like can you trust a consulting firm.

But can you believe it all? No!

Food critics will eat and comment, but they won't necessarily cook.

There's nothing wrong with adapting to a critic's taste, but a chef doing what the critic says is.

Consulting firms and consumer reports, on the other hand, are both critics. Their perspectives and positions are completely different from those of manufacturers.

So how do you understand the market in a region?

After a period of observation, Takahashi found a way to look at piracy!

Manufacturers who engage in piracy are generally small manufacturers, and their companies are quick to make a small U-turn, and in order to make quick money, they will frequently invest in multiple products in the market.

Regardless of where the prototypes of these products came from, after trial and error, they will definitely be able to find the most popular products with local consumers.

Takahashi is not a rigid person, is plagiarism plagiarism for copycat enterprises?

It's like a manufacturer who made "The Elder Scrolls",Directly use the results of the sinicization of the domestic pirated sinicization group.。 Although there is no way to steal, there is no big problem in terms of procedure.

Takahashi picked up the local pirated "Tetris" handheld, to be honest, I really can't tell that this is a Tetris handheld, it doesn't look like it from the appearance to the game.

You must know that every kind of square image in the game "Tetris" has a copyright for all households.

Therefore, like the same kind of falling game, although the core gameplay is the same, there is no second game that also uses similar transformation blocks as a rematch.

The rest is almost all distinguished by color.

I learned the elimination mode of "Bubble Bobble", and several bases of the same color were eliminated together.

Then there are pirated consoles in overseas markets.

First of all, it is the old neighbor of South Korea.

Due to South Korea's strange policies, almost all industrial products except the United States cannot be sold directly in South Korea.

Therefore, Wanhu's "Tetris" handheld machine has no way to enter the Korean market.

And because "Tetris" has not passed the copyright application in South Korea, South Korea's "Tetris" handheld is almost a copy of Wanhu's "Tetris" handheld.

IN ADDITION TO THE LETTERS "ANHU", IT BECAME "SAMSANG".

Then there is the Taiwanese imitation of the "Tetris" handheld, although like South Korea, it is also unscrupulously copied. However, unlike South Korea, Taiwan does not sell only in Taiwan, but exports to the whole world.

For some reason, Taiwan, as the little brother of the United States, can do so unscrupulously.

It has been reported that North America, Brazil, India, and South America have all discovered the "Tetris" handheld produced in Taiwan.

However, unlike South Korea's Samsung Group, Taiwan's "Tetris" handheld has different brands, and there are no less than 100 trademarks seen so far, although there is no difference except for the different trademarks.

It doesn't matter if it's a wolf pack strategy, or a strategy to kill the master with a random punch, because cheapness also occupies a part of the market.

The rest is the imitation manufacturer in the United States, the Tiger company in the United States, which is a rather strange company.

I don't know how many pirated handhelds have been made, but they are also creative, and the mode of "Tetris" handhelds seems to open a door to a new world for them.

Based on Wanhu's "Tetris" handheld, they produced a series of handhelds, which made Takahashi feel that their ideas were broad.

On the note attached to the fuselage, not only the release area is written, but also the approximate sales volume, looking at the best-selling handheld in each region, Takahashi also understands the different preferences of different players in different regions.

For example, the good machines sold by Tiger are rougher, the buttons are bigger, and Europeans prefer a more elegant appearance, which is a valuable experience of trial and error among pirate manufacturers.
