According to statistics, the total revenue of "Salloman Snake" on the first day was 80,000 Hong Kong dollars, and a total of more than 160 machines were put into operation in Hong Kong, with an average daily revenue of 1025 to 1167 yuan per machine. Zhang Ru, the director of the office, took the report and reported to Li Yixuan: "However, the operator has responded to a new problem, and in recent times, the actual revenue per day of each arcade machine has decreased by one-third compared with usual. ”

"Is it because the number of players has decreased?"

"No, the number of players has not decreased, but has increased. After our investigation, we found that some players put coins on a small rope, and then took them out of the coin slot, resulting in a decrease in revenue. Zhang Ru reported truthfully.

Li Yixuan knows that no matter how high-tech things are, there are loopholes, and the way to crack them is often very simple, and there is no way to deal with this kind of thing except to call the police.

"I reported it, and the police dealt with it, but there are still some people who have a fluke mentality. Besides, there are a lot of people who come to the game hall every day, and it is impossible for everyone to keep an eye on them. ”

Li Yixuan felt that there was no way to go on like this, this kind of thing could not be completely eradicated, after all, there were many greedy people in the world, so after thinking about it, he picked up a pen and drew a picture on paper.

"Ah, this thing is called the stop and retreat coin feeder, an inverted bell is set up in the original coin dropper entrance, once the coin is thrown in, due to the asymmetry of the oblique mouth, the coin can not be taken out from the entrance, which is a principle with the crayfish cage used in the countryside. You give it to the technical department and ask them to do a sample test, and if the effect is good, use this coin dispenser in the future. ”

Zhang Ru took the drawings and left, and the technical department only took one day to make a sample, a total of 30 new coin devices, and after three days of repeated tests, there was no problem, so the new coin insertors were installed on the arcade machine and put into the game hall for further testing.

As a result, the arcade machine with the new coin inserter was never seen again.

Now Li Yixuan was relieved, and the technical department optimized the coin feeder according to the feedback back, and after seeing that there was no problem, he contacted the foundry for production.

The arcade machine with a new coin dispenser has reduced this situation by more than 90% at once, and the daily revenue has returned to normal levels.

Li Yixuan also asked DreamWorks to give a piece of advice to these operators, asking them to strengthen supervision, and no matter how advanced things are, if they are not effectively supervised, they will be equal to zero.

Supervision alone is not enough, Li Yixuan also let the company's legal department take action, and it is necessary to kill a few of the most ferocious people to achieve the purpose of killing chickens and monkeys. Otherwise, if this kind of handling is good, I don't know what moths will come out next time. It's impossible for a company to put all its energy into such a boring.

The Ministry of Justice has found that in order to put a coin on a thin string, it is necessary to drill a small hole in it. According to Hong Kong law, this is called the crime of intentional currency destruction, which is a criminal offence and carries a sentence of at least 3 years.

Well, with the legal support, it's easy to do now, just see that unlucky guy hit the muzzle, who told you to be greedy.

got in touch with the police, and after a few days of crouching, he finally caught a few unlucky guys. What else is there to say about suing, two of them are minors, although they will not be prosecuted according to Hong Kong's "Juvenile Protection Law", their guardians are unlucky, and their parents will go to jail if they don't get it.

After leaving the Ministry of Justice to act according to the law, Li Yixuan didn't care about it.

I went to the game testing department again, and in addition to the formal game testers, DreamWorks also has a lot of informal testers who don't receive a fixed salary.

No matter how well a game is tested before release, there will be bugs of one kind or another after release.

In order to allow players to cooperate in reporting bugs, before the official launch of the game, some game volunteers will be hired to do further testing of the game, and DreamWorks will give a lot of money for each bug found.

Once the reported bug is confirmed, the minimum reward is 1,000 yuan, and if the reported bug is of great value or the first time to report, the reward will reach up to 10,000 yuan.

In addition, DreamWorks will also record the names and other information of whistleblowers, and treat them as supernumerary testers. In the future, when the testing department is short of staff or expands the staff, we will recruit directly from these people.

Because of the generous rewards, some supernumerary testers have gradually adopted this as a profession. Later, after DreamWorks designed the game as an independent portal, these supernumerary testers gradually grew, and many internationally renowned game companies also set up offices in Hong Kong, inviting them to catch insects, and finally developed into one of the most important industries in Hong Kong, creating many jobs in Hong Kong.

Later, Hong Kong's huge game industry employees accounted for one-third of Hong Kong's GDP every year, so that the mainland government also had to pay attention to it, resulting in the mainland government not banning game consoles as it did in history, but adopting a model of guidance and legal supervision to put the game industry on the right track.

……

At the headquarters of Oranges, Yu Youcheng has returned to the feeling of being in Fairchild and Intel, and this feeling makes him especially real and happy.

There is no racism here, there is no glass ceiling, which makes him feel very comfortable.

Like many high-tech companies in Silicon Valley, Oranges attaches great importance to technological innovation and R&D, and R&D personnel feel very comfortable and happy here. This kind of happy experience is something that no other company in Hong Kong can experience, and the mainland cannot provide it.

Yu Youcheng also found that Oranges' ability to transfer technology is stronger than that of any other high-tech company in Silicon Valley.

He stayed in Fairchild, although he attached great importance to research and development, but after many products were developed, they were directly eaten in the laboratory, until the competitor's products were on the market, and Fairchild Semiconductor did not transform the technology into products in time.

As a result, many R&D personnel of Fairchild Semiconductor Company have jumped to start a business because their research results have not been valued by the company, and they have stayed in Fairchild for a few years to more than ten years. Most of the entrepreneurial projects are mature products during the Fairchild Lab period.

The end of Fairchild is obvious, although it attaches importance to R&D and talents, but because the efficiency of technology into products is too low, it has become a dandelion in Silicon Valley, and a steady stream of new semiconductor companies have been incubated. However, it has gradually been marginalized by the market because of the continuous loss of talents.

Oranges, on the other hand, is far more efficient in translating R&D projects into products than Fairchild.

For example, the Oranges I computer, the 3.5-inch hard drive, the "Chinese Cube" game, and the "Tank Wars" game were all quickly put on the market after a few months of development, and these products quickly achieved huge returns. Then, they began to feed back the profits to the company and invest in the research and development of more new technologies and products.

Because of the intensity of capital and talent, coupled with the encouragement of innovation, Oranges has the potential to generate a new technology and patent every moment, and the efficiency of translating into products is amazing.

However, Oranges is not without its own flaws, that is, the company is too short to be founded, and the lack of high-tech talents in Hong Kong makes the company's innovation achievements not too much, and the revenue of the game industry accounts for too much of the company's revenue, which is not a good phenomenon in the long run.

But the good news is that this has gradually changed as the company's computers have become more and more popular in the market.

On the contrary, Yu Youcheng feels that the development progress of the new generation of CISC complex instruction set processor CPUs led by Yu is the slowest in the entire company.

There is one thing that Yu Youcheng has never understood, since Oranges has developed its own RISC reduced instruction set CPU, why not use it as the CPU of the new generation of Oranges computers, but let him develop a CISC processor with extremely low efficiency.

With questions, Yu Youcheng came to Li Yixuan's office.

Li Yixuan smiled and said: "The advantages of RISC are specialized, specialized, and CISC, although the computing efficiency is not as high as RISC, but it is better than multi-functional. In the future, personal computers attach great importance to multi-functionality and high compatibility, and then achieve high computing on this basis. The largest consumers of personal computers are ordinary users, and they are very sensitive to price, supercomputers have high computing requirements for CPUs, and high computing comes high prices, because RISC's high computing relies on a large number of internal registers.

Professor Yu, you should understand that the more registers inside the CPU, the higher the manufacturing difficulty and production cost, which will affect the yield rate more, while the internal registers of SISC are limited, so the price of CISC has become very affordable. If it were you, which one would you choose?"

Yu Youcheng was silent, he has been designing chips for some years, and he knows very well that price determines the vitality of a product in many cases. The Intel company he used to work for is the best proof that the previous Intel company was so hot that memory was in short supply, but since RB's memory came out, relying on low prices, it has defeated American memory manufacturers, and I don't know how many companies have gone bankrupt.

There is also Zilog, whose founder is also an engineer who went out from Intel. After Intel successfully developed the 8080 processor, Federico Faggin proposed to Intel to develop a low-cost microcontroller processor based on the 8080 processor, but Robert Noyce rejected it because it would affect the sales of the 8080.

But what was the final result, Federico Faggin left Intel, founded Zilog, and it didn't take long to launch the Z80, defeating the 8080 chip of his old club.

There is also the 6502 processor of MOS, which is not also born from the 64000 processor of Motorola, there are too many such examples to prove.

However, Yu Youcheng thinks that although Li Yixuan is reasonable, he still ignores the same, whether it is 8080 and Z80, or 64000 and 6502, they all have a common example, that is, the two processors are the same architecture, that is, the CISC architecture, but the question they discussed is why you Li Yixuan don't use RISC reduced instruction set as the CPU of personal computers, and you give me an answer that does not satisfy me.

Li Yixuan smiled, he found that Yu Youcheng on the other side was a little cute, and said with a smile: "RISC and CISC are two completely different architectures, and the length of the instruction set is also different, if we use RISC instead of CISC, then may I ask, how do we solve the compatibility of the new generation of computers with the previous generation of computer software, and how to protect consumers' investment in applications." You won't be unaware of the lessons of Zilog. ”

Yu Youcheng was asked again, Li Yixuan said of course he knew, In 1979, Zilog opened a Z8000 chip, which is a 16-bit chip, and the performance of Intel's 8086 chip exploded, and it was not until a few years later that Intel launched the 80286 chip, and the performance reached the level of Z8000. However, the Z8000 chip is a new architecture, and it is not compatible with the 8080, 8086 and Z8o chips, so the market does not buy it, and there are no hardware manufacturers and software companies willing to develop applications for it.

So, the Z8000 hit the streets...... The follow-up upgrade product, the 32-bit Z80006, is the same on the street!

Obviously, the performance is so strong, a generation ahead of Intel's chip performance, but why is it so miserable?

This is because, compatibility first, the majority of manufacturers may not be willing to give up the mature market for high-performance chips. What's more, consumers don't buy it.

"But the efficiency of CISC is too low. Yu Youcheng said unwillingly.

"Actually, it's very simple to solve this problem, why is the CISC computing efficiency so low, haven't you thought about it?"

Yu Youcheng......
