Chapter Eighty-Eight: Smiles
Early the next morning, Junhei Yokoi came to the company early again.
This has been his habit for many years, and as long as he is not on a business trip or simply not returning home, he is almost always the first to arrive at the company.
He believed that hard work made up for his shortcomings, and he never considered himself a smart person.
Most of the time he considers himself an ordinary person with good luck.
It's like if he hadn't entered Nintendo, the president of Nintendo would not be Pu Yamauchi, Pu Yamauchi's personality was not very enlightened, and he didn't make such a small toy like a strange hand to get Pu Yamauchi, he would not be the current Yokoi Junhei at all, maybe he would just be a mechanical repairman for the rest of his life.
And all of this seems to be a coincidence, and if you really ask why Yokoi Junhei succeeded, he will basically say that it is because of his luck.
Since he believes in good luck, is it enough to just have luck?
Luck is enough, isn't there no need for effort?
No, it's not!
Yokoi Junhei believes that luck can be accumulated, since it can't be accumulated in an hour, then it will be ten hours, and if it is an hour that cannot be accumulated, then it will be a hundred hours.
There will always be a time when he will find a good idea and make a good product.
He's always done that, and in fact it's a result.
Whether it's a gaming watch or a gaming boy, it's so successful.
However, for his subordinates, he is not as strict as the requirements, and the requirements are much looser.
Why pine?
Because he knows that not everyone is as focused as he is.
The subordinates are not individual tools that can be used, but individual people, they have their lives, they have the lives they want to live.
Do you ask them to give everything they have to Nintendo just like themselves?
Unrealistic.
Since it is unrealistic, even if it is mandatory, they will only grind foreign workers and only accumulate resentment.
Then it's better not to do it.
It would be nice to let them do their work happily.
Even if he needs to work overtime, he will pay them enough to be happy.
After all, Nintendo doesn't have much but cash.
If you can earn more cash with a small amount of cash, there is no problem with cash.
"Minister Hengjing, there is your letter. ”
After Yokoi had already walked upstairs for a while, the security guard in the mailroom caught up and delivered it breathlessly.
Seeing the chubby security guard go downstairs, Yokoi Jun slowly opened the letter.
As soon as he opened the letter, he saw a familiar font, the owner of this font, who was once a newcomer he was very optimistic about, and now he is the president of Nintendo's rival Manho.
"Senior Yokoi personally opened.
I'm sure you already know who I am when you see the handwriting on the letter. That's right, I'm Takahashi.
In the recent past, I have learned about your cooperation with Keio University to try to use our blue and green LEDs through the supply chain.
I don't know if you remember, when I first started my business. You helped me and helped me get the chips I needed to make arcade machines, and I always remember them.
Perhaps, now is the time to repay the favor.
I already know you're going to make a VR gaming device, and I know that you lack the other two primary colors of light-emitting diodes, and you can only make a red picture.
Although I am not optimistic about you in this era, making a civilian-grade virtual reality headset.
But I will provide you with two kinds of LEDs at the market price to repay your kindness to me that day.
Takahashi.
13 July 1995. ”
After reading the letter, Yokoi Junhei did not put down his hand for a long time, and his head did not raise for a long time.
Understand!
Finally someone understands themselves!
Cheng's silent tears ran down his cheeks.
He silently clenched his fists, and with the good news, he came to the laboratory of his first development department.
That's great news!
Maybe!
I can really make a colorful VrBoy game console by myself!
The price of color LEDs for 10,000 households is not expensive.
Now industrial products are like this, even if it is a monopoly, the price of a single product will not be particularly high. Instead, we will take an optimal point in the function curve of selling price and sales volume.
Takahashi could have been a competitor and completely refused to allow Yokoi to buy other colors of LEDs. Because he has a patent right, in the country where the patent is registered, he can only produce.
However, Takahashi did not do this.
But for the sake of a kindness many years ago, I chose to support myself.
This is not a kind of kindness to the current Yokoi Junhei?
His sudden explosion of the small universe made his subordinates who had just come to work think that their minister had finally gone crazy.
You know, they are under the same repression as their ministers, step by step to get to where they are today.
They're also depressed!
However, they soon discovered that the minister was not crazy, but in a state of high euphoria.
Although the minister didn't say anything, it was good news!
Although it was not as shocking as the minister's madness, it also made them breathe a sigh of relief.
They also began to work silently on their day.
One of the benefits of modernizing is having a customised work schedule.
Everyone, every time to do something, there is a time.
While this doesn't fully quantify everyone's work, it does make procrastination unobtrusive.
It is a good means to achieve that everyone has something to do and everyone has something to do.
Yokoi Gunpei's first development department is to hold a collective meeting to decide on everyone's workflow for the next day before leaving work at the end of each day.
In such a process, the efficiency is very high.
But the problem is also obvious, that is, as long as one person does not work overtime, then the whole system cannot be advanced.
And with only one person working overtime, there is no way to move the project forward.
Perhaps this is not a happy thing for many business owners who simply like to watch their employees work overtime and work for themselves.
But for someone like Yokoi Gunpei who demands results, it's not a bad thing.
At the end of the day's work, when the sun sets to make a plan for tomorrow's work.
Gunhei Yokoi said, "Please note that from tomorrow, we will contact Keio University to conduct experiments on color displays.
The problem of the origin of colored LEDs has been solved. ”
“……”
There was a slight silence.
Everyone is reacting.
By the time everyone reacted, it was basically a celebratory voice.
Hearing the celebratory voice, Gunhei Yokoi felt that he had lived up to their expectations, and his dry lips cracked into a smile.
