Chapter 31 Sending the Machine
Yamauchi's eyes seemed to be deeper than ever. Although Ren Hell can be regarded as a fateful journey, and has encountered many crises, the external causes of those crises are not the main reasons. However, this time it was different, almost like being picked a peach, it was obviously just a little bit close, but someone else seized the opportunity.
Of course, such things are not uncommon in the home appliance industry. At present, Japanese home appliance companies are mainly white dots, and there are not many companies like Sony that focus on audio and video equipment manufacturing.
And the market for white goods is so big, if you buy its washing machine, you can't buy another washing machine, and if you buy another rice cooker, you can't buy another rice cooker.
In such a fiercely competitive environment, I want consumers to buy their own products. In addition to the recognition of the brand, there is also brand loyalty. It's more about the technical content of the machine. Your pot will make the rice taste better, and your sales will be better. Your washing machine, clean clothes washed with less water, consumers will choose your washing machine.
Under such market regulation, various household appliance companies can be regarded as vigorously engaged in research and development. Strive to develop more advanced technology than the opponent, only in this way can the enterprise survive.
The video game industry, in these months when it was born in Japan. Actually, there is no big technological innovation. Everyone is using the technology of a few years ago, and it is better to buy it or not, mainly to look at the content of the game.
However, there seems to be a big, big difference between home game consoles and arcade machines. According to the Chiba game release, this home game console, as well as the Atari 2600 home game console.
Since the game is not fixed on the machine, it seems that the content of the game is not important, and the game can be changed anyway. The key issue lies in the performance of the home console platform.
The performance can't be too bad, otherwise the machine won't be able to display the necessary game graphics, and no one likes to play games full of pixels.
The performance should not be too good, because if the performance is too good, it will inevitably cause a sharp rise in costs. In this case, the price of the machine is expensive, and no player will buy it.
Yamauchi also thought of a problem, the home game console platform. Is it possible for other game manufacturers to attach to this? Thus generating huge profits.
These days, Yamauchi Pu is studying the Atari Collapse. He thought about it a lot, and felt that the reason for the collapse was Atari's lax game production system, any game producer. can launch games based on Atari 2600 without any restrictions.
Objectively, this has created all kinds of garbage games on the Atari machine. There are no rules, it can't be a square circle, Yamauchi Pu thought, if his own home game console is developed. He will definitely establish a complete game production system, and only excellent games can face consumers.
Imagination is so beautiful, Yamauchi has already sketched out a great blueprint in his own brain to dominate the video game industry. It's a dream to build an empire of hellish entertainment. However, before the first step of the dream was taken, it was taken first.
There are actually not a lot of home game consoles on the market, but those half-hung and careless machines can't arouse Yamauchi's vigilance at all. The reason why he values Chiba Games' "home computer" so much is because this home game console is so close to the image of the home game console in his mind.
If so, Hell will be in the R&D department. The final result is what it looks like. He's going crazy with joy.
It's a pity that the R&D department of its own R&D department is only halfway through the R&D progress. Someone else's machine. It has been successfully mass-produced and brought to the market.
Lin Yan didn't think that what he did would cause trouble to the manufacturers in this world who originally wanted to create those machines and games. However, he still didn't think of it. Now there are really people who are so entangled because of him.
In fact, Lin Yan handed over the drawings to Yuki Chiba, and within a week, he saw the first trial production machine. The machine was perfect and didn't seem to have any problems.
However, pre-production and mass production are two different concepts. There are a lot of things that are in the pre-production stage and don't seem to have any problems at all. In mass production, there will be many, many problems. If this is the case, it would be nice to be able to remedy it later.
If so, there is basically no way to solve this problem. The products produced are defective. The factory could only pinch its nose and carry out a large-scale recall.
It's not impossible not to recall, but what is lost is the reputation of the enterprise. Then no one will buy the products of such a company.
In fact, in today's Japan, there are also small factories that "go out of business" frequently. These small factories are generally engaged in the supply of spare parts, etc., which do not directly face consumers, and the technical content is not high. It is possible that after the company has changed its name, just looking at it in the past, you will find that the employees are still the original employees, and the boss is still the original boss.
Ask them why they changed their names. The boss smiled and replied that new enterprises can enjoy government tax exemptions and exemptions, as well as various preferential policies. When the preferential policy expires, it is not so cost-effective to continue to do it. At this time, it is good to go out of business directly, and then set up a new company and continue to enjoy preferential policies.
Therefore, the wisdom of the masses of the people cannot be underestimated. Any policy that was originally for the convenience of the people could become a place for a few people to exploit loopholes.
After Yamauchi asked Yokoi Junhei, he never opened his mouth again. He was okay on his own, and he didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.
However, the few people in front of him were indeed trembling and walking on thin ice. They don't know what the old man Yamauchi Pu is thinking. They felt a chill down their backs, no matter how good their relationship with Yamauchi Pu was, they didn't feel relaxed now.
Yamauchi's mind is really not clear now. Because, the original plan has been completely interrupted by this sudden appearance of the machine.
Actually, it's not sudden, after all, before, because of this, an internal cleaning has been carried out.
"Speed up the development of home consoles, with better features and cheaper prices than this machine." After Yamauchi finished speaking, he left.
The few people who remained in the room looked at each other. They weren't too surprised by Yamauchi's words. Because, this is almost the only solution. A lot of investment has been made in the early stage of home game consoles. If the development is stopped at this time, the project is interrupted. That caused the damage. Not only are these few people in the house unbearable, but even Yamauchi Pu wants to continue to talk and laugh in the club, which is not an easy thing.
If. To outsiders, it seems that Yamauchi's request is almost an impossible task. The order he just gave was faster research and development, better performance. Lower selling price. These three items, even if they are taken out alone, are relatively difficult to achieve. What's more, there are three requirements to be met at the same time.
However, these people are used to it. This is how Yamauchi's leadership line of thought is. It is up to him to ask questions, and as his subordinates, he just needs to find a way to solve the problem.
As for the questions he raised, no matter how harsh they are, no matter how impossible they are. No matter how anti-human he is, he is also the boss. If you can't do it, just leave.
……
On an August evening, the moon is thick.
Lin Yan walked alone on the way to Mayou's house by the river, holding two sets of home game consoles and ten cassettes in his arms.
He's going to give the kid a game console, the little girl, didn't he say he wanted one after he started selling it?
No matter what Lin Yan said, he can be regarded as having been helped by others, a small home game console. Of course, it's a trivial matter.
It stands to reason that it seems that he will be able to take only one. However, it seems that the little girl and Mayu by the river are not in the same family. Gave it to her, didn't you give it to her? It's not for nothing. Being too stingy is not a good thing after all.
There are not a few people on the street, and there are many passers-by who are walking in a hurry, and at first glance they look like people who have just gotten off work. Who makes Tokyo a city that is very good at working overtime? Japanese people who don't work overtime are still Japanese?
When Lin Yan saw them, he remembered his former self. At that time, I was also an ordinary salaryman. Everyday life. There's nothing too much to look forward to, and there's nothing to escape. As a R&D person, I have never participated in R&D. His company doesn't seem to have much interest in this either. As long as you work as a porter step by step and turn other people's games into your own, it's basically fine.
Lin Yan remembered that his boss seemed to have some relationship with the relevant departments. You can always get some supportive orders. Sometimes, you don't have to think about whether there will be players after the listing. As long as the leader is satisfied, there will be no problem with this game.
Of course, leaders often say that video games don't seem to work. It's the same as animation.,A lot of money is thrown down.,No matter how you support it.,It doesn't seem to be improving.。
Not thinking about those things that might violate the regulations, Lin Yan's pace couldn't help but speed up. He is such a person, he is more easily influenced by his surroundings. In a fast-paced place, he has a fast pace, and in a slow-paced place, he becomes lazy.
To put it in an irresponsible sentence. After he was reborn in this body, the reason why he was so lazy was the fault of his classmates. If they are positive, they will not be positive.
Fortunately, Lin Yan is not very good at throwing pots. Not so shameless, not so thick-skinned.
It seems, no matter what country it is. Food stalls are set up under street lamps at night. As he walked through a snack street, he spotted several of them doing the bombed squid he had made.
It seems that he has done a good deed. For so many people, it provides a way to make money. Isn't it a good thing for a good person?
Snacks and this kind of thing. In fact, it is a very troublesome thing to engage in exclusivity. It's also almost impossible. Because, no matter how good the secrecy is, the technical content will not be high. Real professionals, with taste, vision, and touch, can analyze the processing technology and processing process of this food after eating it once.
As long as you have a general idea, go back and try it a few times, and it's pretty much the same. Of course, this is talking about masters. Yes, yes, but not so much.
The steps leading to the shrine seem to have a sense of majesty during the day. However, at night, it feels a little eerie.
Also, there are no street lamps around the steps up. The surrounding trees, illuminated by the moonlight and starlight, have large shadows, and there are many shadows, as if there are ghosts walking in them.
Lin Yan's courage is not particularly big. And, it's the type that likes to scare itself. Frightened a little by his own thoughts, he quickened his pace and began to run upward.
Fortunately, the shrine is almost brightly lit, and looking at its light, it can be regarded as a rush.
Psychological factors plus physical exertion, Lin Yan, who went to the top of the hill bag and the shrine platform, was a little out of breath. He took a few steps forward. I saw three brothers by the river.
The three brothers by the river, since they met at school, seem to have left Lin Yan's field of vision. For a long, long time for the next one, Lin Yan didn't see these three people. At one point, he thought that the three of them had changed schools.
However, after asking him to ask Mayu Riverside, she said no. She said that the reason why Lin Yan didn't see it should be because they weren't together.
She also asked, Yanjun remembered the names of my three stupid brothers, do you still look like it?
Lin Yan thought about it carefully, and it didn't seem to be. In this case, even if you encounter it in school, you will hardly recognize it. After all, the public face.
Lin Yan didn't say hello to the three brothers, because Mayu Hebian had told him that his three stupid brothers were a little strange. She also said that day that if you came to her, just go straight to that room.
Lin Yan ignored the three brothers who were sitting at the door playing "Game of Destiny", and the three brothers didn't seem to see Lin Yan, so they let him slip in.
"I'm coming." Lin Yan opened the door and greeted Mayu by the river who was still dressed in a witch costume.
"Yanjun, you're here. What's the matter with coming here so late? "Mayu Riverside is still doing some kind of shrine maiden work.
Lin Yan looked at her appearance, and suddenly thought, can you make a witch to pray for blessings, a special edition of "Destiny Game". That seems like a lot of fun. Just like the one he saw in his previous life, the advertisement for the witch blessing USB disk.
"The console I made came out. That little girl doesn't want it, I'll leave it to her. This one is yours. Lin Yan put the two boxes aside, and then divided the cassette, "There are five games in total, you and her have one each, a total of ten boxes." Okay, I'm going ......."
Lin Yan got up and left without dragging his feet at all.
Mayou by the river didn't seem to react yet, and looked at the place where Lin Yan was sitting just now. (To be continued.) )
