Chiba Games' hidden benefits are actually among the best in the video game industry - after all, as a benchmark for Japanese game manufacturers, Chiba Games must play an exemplary role, and it is not a matter of thinking about it, but it must be done.
In fact, as a benchmark for the Japanese game industry, there are actually some places where we have to compromise.
For example, for the compromise in the industrial chain, some old models have not been discontinued, not because the profits of this old model are okay, but because there is nowhere to place the workers on the production line.
In fact, this kind of thing happens more and more frequently, and sometimes it is not up to Yuki Chiba to decide which technology to use or which not to use.
After all, there are so many people who have to eat, and if this part is not adopted, then these people will not have a job. If they don't have a job, then where are these people going to be placed, and if something goes wrong with them, who bears the responsibility?
In fact, there are many industries in Japan that are like this, such as the plasma screen industry, why it has gone all the way to the black, in fact, it is also because of this problem.
You can't help but go, because if you don't go, then many people in this industrial chain will have nothing to eat.
In fact, this is happening not only in Japan, but also in other parts of the world. For example, the construction scaffolding in Hong Kong is made of bamboo. Don't they know that steel is of better quality, stronger, and more affordable?
But they can't do without. Because around this bamboo scaffolding, there are many people who rely on them for food. If they don't use this thing, their survival becomes a problem, although they can change careers.
However, there are thousands of people in an industry, where is it so easy to change careers. Therefore, sometimes you will find that many things are not the most advanced and cost-effective, but the result of compromises in all aspects.
The same is true of the problems that Chiba Games is facing now. To put it mildly, it is to be kidnapped by vested interest groups. There are many things that you don't want to do. You can't do it.
Therefore, Chiba games are not as glamorous as they appear to be in many things. In fact, it has always been a process of compromise.
Of course. There is good news, too. Because Chiba Games itself dominates the direction of technological development, it doesn't have to work with its Japanese counterparts to make a very strange product.
In fact, there is no way for Japanese companies to do this. Because. No one knows which branch of a technology is going to be the right one.
After the concept of new energy vehicles entered the 21st century, it became louder and louder. Japan's major automobile manufacturers such as Toyoda, Honda, etc., are engaged in new energy, which is in the direction of fuel cells.
There is a reason why they chose this direction, because if the battery direction is developed, then accessories such as differentials, clutches and other accessories will not be needed.
These things don't work. Then there will be a lot of people who will lose their jobs, and there will be many problems. So, they chose fuel cells.
The United States, China and other countries have chosen the direction of batteries. Although the direction of the battery is at this stage, the cruising range is not as good as that of the fuel cell.
However, there is great promise to exceed the range of dye batteries. That is the application of new materials, that is, the application of graphene.
Moreover, battery cars. Compared with fuel cell vehicles, there are several major advantages.
For example, the battery is easy to maintain and easy to charge. The cost of one charging station. Far lower than a traditional gas station.
Fuel cells, on the other hand, use hydrogen as a dye, and the price of a hydrogen refueling station is several times that of a traditional gas station.
The other is fuel cells, which require many rare metals and rare earth resources as catalysts. Add to that the factor that hydrogen is prone to accidents. The maintenance cost of the machine. It will definitely increase greatly, so not only the car is expensive, but the supporting services are also very expensive.
However, Japanese manufacturers can not go without choosing this path, because if they choose batteries. Not to mention, unemployed workers.
Even the technical reserves they have accumulated in fuel cells for more than ten years are completely useless.
It's not even as good as the United States and China, you know, technological development is actually a very time-consuming thing.
It's not that I can develop something that I can do if I want to.
If that's the case, Chiba Games has always wanted a processor with an advanced and energy-saving process, but until now, this processor has not been seen.
In 04 years, the chip process had just reached the level of 90 nanometers, you know, this process is really a bit insufficient for a high-performance handheld or smart phone.
As a result, Chiba Games has been waiting, waiting for a more advanced process to appear. Of course, Chiba Games didn't sit still, Chiba Games actually developed its own streamlined instruction set. That is, they can produce their own processors.
The reason why Chiba Games dares to do this is because Chiba Games' products have huge sales.
The reason why Lin Yan placed an order for one million processors in one go back then was because the more this thing was made, the lower the marginal cost, and the lower the cost per piece.
If the architecture developed by Chiba Games can produce 10 million pieces, the cost will be about 100 dollars per piece.
When it comes to 20 million pieces, the cost will be about 80 US dollars, and if it is 10,000 pieces, the cost will be about 40 US dollars.
If Chiba Games can sell hundreds of millions of chips, then the price of a chip will only be twenty-two dollars.
Of course, Chiba Games is actually planning to come a while after the launch of its own smartphone. Externalize this architecture.
So that more manufacturers can save a huge number of chip research and development costs, and can directly produce their own processors.
A very important reason for this is actually to avoid Chiba Games being too conspicuous by itself.
You must know that the power of the anti-monopoly law is more powerful than a nuclear bomb for Chiba games.
Although Chiba Games is now more restrained and is deliberately supporting its competitors, in European countries, there are still lawsuits related to monopoly from time to time.
At this time, the role of the team of lawyers that Chiba Games spends tens of millions of dollars every year is reflected. As soon as they loosen their chains, they will automatically go to those who are in court to fight the lawsuit. It's fast, efficient, and often wins as long as you spend a lot of money.
This legal system, so to speak. For the wealthy, there is a natural advantage.
Lin Yan sometimes sighs that there are nearly four or five hundred people in a law firm. Wanting these people to work together to complete a lawsuit is also a great thing.
This is a very demanding organizational ability.
However, Lin Yan thought about it. If you give yourself tens of millions of dollars a year, you can still count the money in a lawsuit. I guess I can also become a brave warrior.
After all, these lawyers have worked like a life for Chiba Games, just because Chiba Games gives enough money.
In fact, any company in the United States, no matter how big or small, actually contributes a lot to the legal profession.
The reason why lawyers are a profession in the upper class is also inseparable from their high income. And why they have a high income, a lot of dù on. It's because they can make so much money by fighting lawsuits.
Even, some companies do not have as much profit a year as the team of lawyers they employ.
Lin Yan sometimes thinks about it and thinks that this is also a very emotional thing.
Of course, when Lin Yan was in China, he knew that some of the lawyers in China actually yearn for the life of American lawyers.
You look at people's social status, you look at people's income, why do Chinese lawyers earn so little. There must be something wrong!
However, if you want to earn so much, you actually give up the right of the poor to seek legal protection at a certain level.
So. Many lawyers talk about their conscience every day, but in fact, they lack what to say, and they are quite lacking in this.
After all, conscience is a thing that can't be eaten or used, and money is still reliable. With money. There's everything.
Of course, although Lin Yan doesn't like the group of lawyers very much, he doesn't have the kind of mind to make the lawyer profession worse.
You must know that the reason why the lawyer industry has been formed must have his reasons.
If you want to find a better way to protect ordinary people than lawyers, it is almost impossible to find it.
Because, no matter what kind of system it is, when it is not implemented, how beautiful it looks, once it enters the implementation stage, they will have all kinds of loopholes.
After all, it is people who use the system, and people are susceptible to all kinds of temptations, and it is easy to have all kinds of problems.
By paying so many attorney fees every year, Chiba Games protects its business from facing more money in compensation. In fact, it is already a cost-effective method.
Of course, the iron also has to be hard.
I can't say that I have money and a lawyer, and I won't do anything else. If you don't apply for patents, you won't do technological innovation.
In fact, the lawsuit is just an incidental thing, and the most important thing is the product. The reason why Chiba Games can dominate is because there are hundreds of millions of game consoles produced by Chiba Games on this earth.
There is a billion-plus player base. It is precisely because of the consumption and support of these players that Chiba Games can continue to launch new games and a newer and better machine.
So, Chiba Games has been getting bigger and bigger over the years. However, it is still very important for any ordinary user.
Pay attention to their opinions, pay attention to their demands, and solve the difficulties they encounter.
Because, it is the ordinary players who have shaped the Chiba game. You can't start bullying customers just because your store is big.
Treat others as you would have done to them.
Chiba Games understands the meaning of this sentence very well.
Otherwise, Chiba Games would have become the kind of company that "dear player, I'm your father". The reason why these companies are like this is because they feel that the company is too big to care about the opinions of ordinary players.
Therefore, they are getting farther and farther away from ordinary players, and finally they are ruthlessly abandoned by ordinary players.
Lin Yan, in fact, likes the current Chiba game, because this Chiba game condenses a lot of his hard work in it. His own philosophy is also included in Chiba Games' corporate culture.
Every employee of Chiba Games actually agrees with the corporate culture of Chiba Games.
Because, those who don't agree have been driven away.
Because, only when everyone has a common goal and a common ideal, can we use our strength in one direction. The result is a remarkable achievement.
Of course, an important reason why Chiba Games can have its current status is the control of its own game level, almost always using only the top talents, and so on.
It's not that other manufacturers don't want to learn the boutique strategy of Chiba Games, but they can't. It's just that you can't learn it.
Because, they don't have that fund, that resource.
Actually, making a game is the same as writing an article. It may be easy to write, and it only takes a few hours to write.
However, if it is not revised, then the article is destined to be imperfect and destined to have many problems.
However, if it is revised, it may take longer to revise than it did to write this article.
For enterprises, if a game is launched for too long, then there will be problems in the capital chain and the capital turnover will be poor.
There will be all kinds of big problems, and the strictest one is to go bankrupt directly.
Therefore, many manufacturers, even if they have the determination to make a fun video game. They don't have that kind of perseverance either.
Because, the reality is there, she is very skinny, it's not that you say let her dance a beautiful dance, she will dance.
There are definitely a lot of compromises to make in order to survive.
So, there are some games that they will treat as black history after their makers and merchants have become famous.
Because, those games are not what they want to make zuò. Instead, they were forced to do it. If you don't do it, you can't do it, and if you don't do it, you will go bankrupt.
Therefore, when they achieve very good results in the future, they will regard these things in the past as black history, hoping that they will hide them in history.
Of course, there will be some players who will flip them out. But what's so much, at most it's a little embarrassing for them.
Other than that, there is no actual damage to them.
However, one thing to say, Chiba games really don't have a game that can be said to be a black history.
Although, Chiba Games itself has launched thousands of games as a first-party game. This has to be said to be a miracle. (To be continued.) )
