Chapter 97: A Flag, Technical Standards

When Xiao Daiming came, Lin Yi personally went to the airport to greet him. Unexpectedly, he stretched out his hands, but the other party came to an American-style hug.

Although this person is of Chinese descent, he is rigid and solemn, and his face is not visible at all. A gentle smile that hangs on the corner of his mouth at all times.

Xiao Daiming is not tall, one and a half heads shorter than Lin Yi. But that success seems to be more than the boss!

After a short conversation in the car, Lin Yi was already convinced that such an attractive person was what he needed. So after returning to the factory, he immediately announced in public: "This Mr. Xiao Daiming is our project director." ”

The boss had to be crisp and neat, and he quickly won hearts and minds. In the process of exchanging information, Xiao Daiming expressed his heart directly. It seems that he has completely regarded this project as his own ambition and carried it on his shoulders wholeheartedly.

"Boss, convincing the cooperating manufacturers to cooperate in the development of the project, I think this matter is not as difficult as imagined. ”

"Oh, how do you say it? You know, everyone's cooperative relationship has only been two and a half months in total. From Paradise Games, you may have just earned 100,000. If you want to convince them to spend millions on R&D, trust is probably not enough, right?"

Xiao Daiming nodded, but didn't completely agree: "This matter is not simple, but the difficulty is not how much you invest." The key is to let the collaborators see the hope of making a lot of money!"

The director was very efficient, quickly digested the documents, and persuaded Lin Yi in a blink of an eye to convene the first developer conference.

There is no PPT yet, and it is not easy to show a beautiful vision.

However, Lin Yi had already prepared. His competitors, Fairchild, RCA, and Atari, have their promotional materials and even advertising videos in the mail.

Seeing that their American counterparts were so enthusiastic about video game consoles, the businessmen present quickly became interested and spoke up one after another.

The time has come, Lin Yi hurriedly threw out a plan: "We expect to launch a video game console next year - Home Entertainment Paradise, abbreviated as HEP." With comprehensive leading technology, it is expected that the annual sales volume will exceed 3 million units!"

When this number came out, the merchants were taken aback, and they felt that he was a lion with a big mouth!

Arcade motherboard collaborator, Boss Zhao first questioned: "In the past two months of cooperation, I have seen good prospects. But if you want me to invest so much money, you have to prove that how can these millions of sales be realized?"

The chassis supplier, Malay businessman, Hussein, also asked: "Also, how will the benefits be distributed after success?

Of course, everyone is most concerned about the issue of interests. So someone got up and immediately rushed up and asked questions. The whole conference room immediately became a mess.

Greed is an original sin. But at the same time, it's also the reason why everyone is sitting here. So in the face of this situation, Lin Yi was not annoyed.

He said softly: "Please don't worry, the problems have to be solved one by one." The feasibility of the project, which is the premise and foundation, must be understood first. Otherwise, there is no need to fight for a bubble!"

Lin Yi's attitude is unquestionable. So soon, the room quieted down.

Demonstrating a bright future, Xiao Daiming stood up. Present the results of the market survey in front of everyone's eyes. Scientific statistics, simple language, and evidence beyond doubt.

Boss Zhao's family has a big business, and he once again took the lead in speaking: "I have bought the current video game console for my children, and the quality is really not good." It turns out that so many potential customers are waiting for us to develop!"

After demonstrating the market situation, Lin Yi sent Wang Jie again. This engineer, in terms of expertise, clarified the feasibility of the new mainframe.

It's a pity that his language is really professional and difficult to understand. Most of the bosses here are confused. However, it is also generally understood that technological breakthroughs can indeed be made.

After Wang Jie finished speaking, Lin Yi pointed at him and emphatically introduced: "This engineer, born in Atari, was dug up by me with a lot of money. With him, we have a guarantee for a technological breakthrough!"

During the whole meeting, according to the previous discussion, everyone on the side of Paradise Games was full of bright eyes and confidence.

Lin Yi, who was carefully prepared, had a powerful aura. It seems that they are ready to take the first person off the horse and become the new leader of the game industry!

This performance was not in vain, although he was very young, he had a group of old foxes in his life! Everyone asked for information one after another, and prepared to go back and study it well.

As for the distribution of benefits, it was temporarily suppressed by Lin Yi. It won't be on the agenda until the next meeting.

Lin Yi returned to the hotel, and Xiao Daiming's advice echoed in his ears again: "If you want to do great things, the flag is indispensable! Make friends with the government, unite people's hearts, and let everyone see hope, this is the role of the boss!"

Two days later, the second meeting was held, and Lin Yi basically watched from the sidelines. As for the other bosses, you can bring your ears and hardly have to speak. Xiao Daiming, the project director, has turned this place into his home turf.

The future distribution of interests, such a major topic, neither the chief nor the people need to discuss, because the director has used his expertise to formulate a set of technical standards.

"The standardization committee enables everyone to form a community of interests and share the monopoly profits of the market. Whoever eats and waits for death, and is not technologically enterprising, will naturally be kicked out of the door!"

At this meeting, the only question came from Boss Zhao: "If he is kicked out, won't his original investment be wasted?"

Xiao Daiming waved his hand decisively: "No, he will be excluded from the interests of the future." However, it is still possible to recover the early investment cost through patents. Standardized measurement, who invests, who benefits, fair, just and open!"

Technical standardization, management standardization, input-output standardization. Lin Yi has heard of the power of standardization, and of course he strongly supports it. Its monopoly prospect is also mouth-watering!

The two major problems that plagued him, the lack of funds and the distribution of benefits, were solved by this management expert, who divided them by two! Xiao Daiming's salary was not cheap, but Lin Yi felt that he had received a hundredfold return!

R&D funds were allocated. R&D risks are naturally also apportioned.

Sharing benefits with others seems to have a lot of losses, but it makes the lineup very strong. Everyone huddles in a group, fights together, and fights together!

CPU processor, TV processing chip, random access memory, input/output chip, cassette design, gamepad, host shell, line interface.

The main machine is developed and disassembled one by one, and then assigned to the project team. Those technical cores, the largest R&D investment, Lin Yi took it into his arms, and others would not come to grab it.

He took over the core projects, some simple projects, and he didn't let go. The cross key handle and the red and white machine shell are very familiar to Lin Yi. There is no need to give these patents to others.

But then, a new problem was placed in front of Lin Yi. The use of funds must be strictly regulated. Whether it's corruption or waste, investors won't say yes.

The developer's funds are scattered across multiple accounts, and the efficiency of their use is worrying. Centralized to a public account, everyone can jointly supervise. However, it is still possible to abscond with the money.
