Kyoto Kamitoba served as the headquarters of hell.

The secretary pushed open the door, and Yokoi Gunsin walked in, saw Yamauchi Pu and said, "President, are you looking for me?" ”

"Hmm......," Yamauchi replied, "You can leave the design work of the home game console to Masayuki." ”

Yokoi was stunned, he didn't understand. Although, Chiba Games released a home game console first, but the research and development speed on his side is not slow, why should he hand over the work to Masayuki Uemura. Could it be that the president is disappointed in me?

All kinds of doubts swirled in Yokoi's mind, and he didn't know what the reason for this was.

Ren Hell is now divided into three main departments, one is the "First Development Department" led by Yokoi Gunpei, the "Second Development Department" led by Masayuki Uemura, and the "Game Development Department" led by Shigeru Miyamoto.

The main task of the first development department is to be responsible for the development of game watches and home game consoles, while the second development department is responsible for the hardware development of arcade machines, and the game development headquarters is responsible for the software development of arcade games.

Of course, this was before. Now the respective tasks of the three departments have been basically put down, and under the order of Yamauchi Pu, almost everyone's energy has been put into the research and development of home game consoles. And the leader of these people is naturally Junhei Yokoi, who has developed many successful products.

However, now the president is removing him......

Yamauchi's eyes have been facing Yokoi Junhei's eyes, and he has seen all the changes in the latter's eyes.

"There's no point in distrusting you," he said. After all, Masayuki is a person from Sharp, and I think he might be better suited to lead the development of home game consoles. ”

Yokoi Gunpei understood. This is the president's dissatisfaction, he is not satisfied that he has led the research and development for so long, but the progress of the research and development is still very slow.

Yes, after all, after graduating from college. I went to Dongli, Sharp, Sony and other companies to apply, but I was not admitted. was able to come to Ren Hell because Ren Hell was very close to his home, and second, only this company accepted him. When he first came. Ren Hell is just a manufacturer that has just industrialized the production of plastic poker. His job is nothing more than a very idle assembly line maintenance work.

It is precisely because of his leisure that he has time to study a lot of gadgets. There was a time when I accidentally got Yamauchi Pu. The president just said, these things of yours can be perfected and mass-produced.

It is precisely because of Yokoi Junhei's extreme boredom and Yamauchi Pu's just being hit. Only then did Ren Hell rely on toys to turn over. Get rid of those billions of debts and master the huge cash flow.

Later, when Gunpei Yokoi saw someone playing with a calculator on the subway, he had the idea to make a gaming watch. Relying on this idea, Ren Hell has reached the top of today.

It is never an exaggeration to say that Pu Yamauchi, the decision-maker, was the first hero to save Ren's hell, and to say that Yokoi Junhei was the second hero.

However, now he, the second hero, has been "removed" by the president. It's a sad thing.

However, Yokoi Junhei quickly adjusted his mentality. Because. He knew that what he was really good at was not step-by-step industrial design, but wild creativity.

Perhaps, someone has a wild idea, but that person does not have the technical skills to realize the idea. Perhaps, some people have a very hard technical foundation, but they don't have good ideas.

He positions himself as a creative and thoughtful technician among technicians.

He's not a person who doesn't know how to take care of the big picture. After thinking clearly, he said to Yamauchi, "I know, president." ”

"Do a good job, everything you do now is related to the future of Ren Hell." Yamauchi said.

Yokoi Junhei saw that Yamauchi Pu had no more orders. He took his leave and went out.

……

Initially, it seemed that the "home computer" of Chiba Games did not make much waves. There was no mainstream media coverage, no overwhelming advertising campaign. Like a quiet girl, she sat at the counter and didn't say anything more.

After the first few days of fermentation. Arcade player circle. The spread of the children's circle and the parents' circle. The plain water of the lake has set off ripples. More machines are being sold day by day.

Originally, the machines that were piled up in the warehouse and made people worry about how to sell them have also been purchased by customers. It is very difficult to fill up the inventory in an empty warehouse.

That's right, home game consoles are popular and hot.

This is unexpected by many people, but in Lin Yan's opinion, this is a reasonable thing.

Just like arcade machines were the craze, home consoles are also making waves. Although it seems that there are no waves as the arcade craze, and every arcade hall is like a sardine can, who knows how every family, a few families, gather around a machine and play games happily together.

In the case of less than 1,000 units sold nationwide on the first day, sales reached 100,000 units in the first week.

100,000 units, 1/10 of a million.

Almost all the big and small manufacturers who are still indulging in video game arcades have suddenly woken up. I don't know what their expressions looked like when they saw the first week of sales of Chiba Games' home consoles.

From astonishment and disdain, to catching up?

Most manufacturers have indeed gone through such a process. However, although most people are stunned, there are only a few who can catch up.

Because, compared with arcade machines, the requirements for home game consoles are still a bit high.

Therefore, most people who make games only regard this as an after-dinner conversation, but there is no more practical action. For these people, home game consoles or something are too far away, or arcade machines are reliable.

As for what kind of impact home gaming opportunities have on them. They didn't think much of it.

"Lin Yan, is your little machine quite powerful?" Chiba Yuki called and said to Hayashihiko.

"Normally, nothing else, just taking the lead." Lin Yan said very "modestly".

Chiba Youxi over there also felt that Lin Yan's tone was quite funny, and she said, "You don't know, Futian of Titanium Light Technology was stunned." You must know that the output of 100,000 chips is almost the output of his factory in a month. ”

When Lin Yan heard this, he suddenly felt a crisis. Sometimes, it's not a good thing that a product is popular. The out-of-stock product will have an irreversible impact on the customer, and it is possible that no one will buy the product.

"That ......," Lin Yan said.

――――――

That one...... I'm sorry...... Blink and blink...... A bit of water indeed. The reason for this is because the update couldn't catch up that day. Although the water was out, it didn't catch up in the end......

After learning from the pain, Xiaobai felt that he shouldn't write every day...... Strive to adjust the update time......

Finally, ask for a referral ticket. The monthly pass is hopeful, but if there are more recommended tickets, maybe it will be on the category recommendation list.

Thank you :-D (To be continued.) )
