In 2004, a three-inch screen was already considered a large screen. {We don't write novels, we're just online text porters - you know, whether it's a handheld before Chiba games, or a handheld from another manufacturer, the color screen is basically about three inches.} It's basically hard to get bigger. It's not that it can't be technically realized, but the cost can't be accepted, and the yield rate is not very satisfactory.

Any mature product is not the product of one or two aspects of the pursuit of perfection. Rather, it is the result of a multifaceted balance.

Because, although the strength of a product is full of gimmicks. However, in real use, it is actually the shortcomings that have the greatest impact on people's experience.

This screen of Chiba Games has hit a prototype of a 3.5-inch smartphone, which can be said to be a well-deserved large screen in this era.

However, because this machine does not place operation buttons on both sides of the screen, the screen-to-body ratio is relatively high, reaching more than 75%.

Mayou Riverside took this prototype and sighed, "This machine looks so good when it is turned off, and the screen that goes off and the whole phone seems to be integrated, which ...... It's so beautiful. This should be called screen-off aesthetics, right? ”

Lin Yan's face was a little stiff, and he said, "That...... You look at the back of the phone, and the screen is on the other side. ”

"Oh, thank you Yanjun for reminding me, Ma Youyou." Hebian Mayu stuck out his tongue very vulgarly, shrunk his head, and said while maliciously selling cuteness.

Chiba Yuki is much more reliable than Mayu Riverside, she said maturely and intellectually, "Don't say it, according to the design style you said, it looks really different." However, this sandwich-like structure with glass on the front and back looks a little unreliable. I see that the records also say that mobile phones of this mode are more likely to be damaged, and they have high requirements for the accuracy of assembly. None of these factors are suitable for mass production. ”

"Senior sister, you're right. At the current level of our technology, this kind of appearance is indeed not very suitable for mass production. So. I think our first mobile phone should still use a plastic case. If you want me to say, this maverick, with only one physical button on the front, is amazing enough. I don't think I need to expose the front and back glass design anymore. ”

"Hmm. You're right, according to your plan, our future strategy is to update it every year, if the first equipment is too perfect, then why should others buy the machine we produced in the second year. In principle, I agree with a plastic case. Chiba Yuki said.

After so many years of training, Chiba Yuki has become a very skilled businessman. Her grasp of business opportunities can be said to have achieved the dream of many entrepreneurs.

You know, the reason why most companies save zài. It was because we seized an important opportunity.

For example, Ren Hell is famous. A lot of it was because they seized the opportunity of playing cards. You know, before they got into the card business. This industry, because of Japan's nationwide ban on gambling, is actually a very unpopular industry.

However, due to the changes of the times, the change of power, and the emergence of cards similar to flower cards, which use animals and plants in four seasons, as well as excellent haiku, and have fun and educational cards, the entire industry has slowly recovered.

And Ren Hell was also famous in Kyoto at that time. Later, because they climbed into the sales channel of the tobacco king, they combined the sales channels of the card and the cigarette sales channel of the tobacco king, and finally achieved their remarkable achievements.

However, when he later became the head of hell, Yamauchi Pu. When he arrived in the United States and saw the world's largest card company, but it was just a small workshop, his heart was basically broken.

Because, he knows the card industry, no matter how big it is. It's only that big.

Later, he tried a lot of things, whether it was the taxi industry, love hotels, or instant noodles. In short, I tried so many things, and in the end they all failed, but I got something on the video game console.

Yamauchi regarded video games as hell, and in addition to the recovery of the card industry and the third important turning point of the tobacco king, he worked hard to do it.

However, I didn't expect it, I never thought of it. Although they did it early, they were preempted by the more mature Chiba game.

As a result, all the R&D funds invested in the early stage were wasted. Coupled with the various attempts I have made before, I owe a lot of debt.

They also had to continue selling cards, instead of looking for luck in unfamiliar territory.

You must know that in this world, there is such a saying, that is, "if you are not familiar with it, you will not do it, and you will not be able to do it deeply".

Because, only by doing so, can we avoid risks to the greatest extent and nip unnecessary dangers in the bud.

Therefore, the expansion rate of Chiba games has not been particularly fast. If, they follow the play of some businesses. Now Chiba Games can be a very large group, although this group is like a sandcastle built on the beach. As soon as a wave crashes against it, it is completely revealed.

Therefore, it can be found that all the businesses of Chiba Games have actually developed from the core business of video games, which has been developed over a long period of time.

It's not like some companies that make tires, but they go to some large-scale amusement parks. This kind of irrelevant thing, Chiba Games will not do.

"But the plastic shell was too ugly. Moreover, there is no such glass shell, ice feeling. Mayu doesn't like it. Mayu Riverside said with another prototype next to him. This prototype uses the plastic shell that Lin Yan said.

It does seem that the force grid is much worse than that of the glass back, but this is also something that cannot be helped. Chiba Games' product developers are actually used to this trade-off.

Because, only the product that comes out of the trade-off can be a good product, otherwise it is a garbage product that does not know the so-called.

It's like the mess of the video game league, and even they feel a little inexplicable.

Chiba Games' candid intention of making products is actually difficult for many companies to do. Because, often their first reliable product sells well, they will get carried away. When the second product is turned, it will become inso-not, and it will be abandoned by the market when the time comes. Then, the third product is supplemented. Just, a lot of the time. Many companies can't survive the launch of the third product, and they are already dead.

"Mayou, try the one on your left, although that one is also plastic. But the feeling, in my opinion, should be better. Lin Yan said.

"Really! This shell feels like a baby's skin, and it's really tender. Yanjun, since you want to use a plastic shell. Why not use this one? Mayu Riverside asked.

"That's right," Lin Yan said, "don't look at it, it feels like a baby's skin, it makes people feel very smooth and refreshing." However, however, there must be advantages and disadvantages, and his hand feels so good, so naturally there are other problems. You can use some sharp objects to touch this case and you will know what is going on.

Although the shells feel good in the hand, they are not very wearable. As long as it is damaged by some external force, it will fall off.

We made a simulated real yàn, if this shell is used, then this mobile phone will become unrecognizable in about a month, and the feel and look at the time will not be as good as this one with an ordinary shell. ”

"I see, I see. It's like a good-looking girl, it's usually a vase. And those smart girls are never particularly beautiful. When God opens a window, he will close a door. Yanjun, isn't that so? ”

"Hmm...... That's probably what it looks like. "Lin Yan wants to ask, is it not good for you to be a witch and always talk about God and his old man. But after thinking about it, people themselves don't think there's any problem, but what are they doing with this heart.

After the three of them finished studying the appearance and feel of the phone, they began to turn on the phone to see what the interface inside the phone looked like.

Although it is said, Lin Yan prefers a flat style. Flat style. It looks simple and concise. However, one thing that is not particularly good is that it is more abstract and not very suitable for people to distinguish.

Therefore, on this phone, basically all the control logic and software icons are skeuomorphic.

It's like a music player, it's the kind of old-fashioned vinyl record. When the music is played, the probe is placed on the record and the music is played.

Of course, some things that are not very good are not imitated. For example, those videos that look irregular play that air play button.

In this regard, the software development department of Chiba Games has made certain optimizations. It is not exactly in accordance with the appearance on the real machine.

For example, the play button of a music player is the kind that imitates the real thing, with a metallic texture and even a texture.

In the end, the finished product is the most simple design in the skeuomorphic style.

Because skeuomorphism is, after all, a simulacrum, not a copy of the real thing. You know, the kind of feeling that is designed like this on a physical object and provides is actually not particularly good in this virtual state.

In addition, the whole system is consciously doing subtraction. Although the related functions are not much less, they are basically integrated in some places that ordinary users do not press very well.

Therefore, the whole interface still needs to look simple.

Although the whole system may not seem particularly streamlined, the people who actually participated in the project understood that the trade-offs between each function were the result of the coordination of many parties.

However, this difficult process cannot be said to be completely useless.

Because in this process, there are still some very meaningful things.

That is, a sound software development specification has been established. In the future, if you open the entrance of a third party like a zuò game, they will make a zuò game, and basically you have to follow the specifications designed by Chiba Games. It's impossible to mess around on your own.

Chiba Games is doing this now, and it has a far better foundation than when the royalty system for home game consoles was implemented in the first place.

You know, when Chiba Games just developed the red and white machine, in fact, many of those third-party game manufacturers were not convinced.

Everyone used to make zuò arcade games, and everyone was on an equal footing. You Chiba Games suddenly developed a home game console, and then let us bow down, isn't it? There is nothing so domineering in this world.

Of course, the later demerits are already clear. It is these third-party manufacturers who have lowered their heads one after another.

Because it's very simple, there is meat to eat on the red and white machine hairstyle game of Chiba games, and no one will have trouble with money.

There are even game companies such as Ka Common, which were originally in the arcade business and are on the verge of death. But because of the company that made a lot of money on home game consoles, and then came back to life.

It is precisely because of this myth that more and more third-party game companies are throwing themselves into the arms of Chiba Games.

This is like the indie game channel launched by Chiba Games now, you know, there are games that can earn more than 100,000 dollars a day.

This can be called a terrifying thing, and of course it has become the best means of propaganda, and then, countless newcomers have jumped into this abyss.

Of course, most people should fail. And the remaining handful of people have created even more exaggerated myths. Let it go, and induce more people to enter this industry.

You know, this is a very common technique. The so-called setting up a model is not what it means.

When almost everyone thinks about something, they think that they are the one who succeeds. No one buys a lottery ticket thinking that they won't win anyway, just buy it and have fun, just get it.

You must know that everyone buys lottery tickets with the identity of winning the jackpot. Otherwise, this consumption is very unreasonable, since you know that you won't win the lottery ticket, and you still want to buy it, is it really for the social welfare to contribute?

Correspondingly, gambling games such as pachinko are actually the same thing. It is to take advantage of the characteristics of human nature.

After all, when playing this game, it's all about thrills. It's thinking that I can make a lot of money.

Of course, the final result is basically the destruction of the family. And those who are in this industry, for those whose families are ruined, are actually not sympathetic, because for them, this is the path that those players choose for themselves.

Nobody forced them to play, did they? (To be continued.) )
