Chapter 9: The Ultimate Ideal
At the same time that Yuki Chiba knew about the Video Game Alliance, Shiraishi also knew that Chiba Games knew the strategy of the Video Game Alliance.
To be honest, he was a little nervous. This kind of nervousness, Lin Yan was the first person he contacted, and he was very sure of Lin Yan's talent in video games. He was very envious of this seemingly innate sense of smell, and he was a little apprehensive in his heart, wondering if Chiba Games would follow them after knowing their strategy.
However, it didn't.
From the inside of Chiba Games, Shiraishi knew that it was business as usual with Chiba Games, and there was no initiative to start the electronic pet machine project.
In this way, while he was relieved, he was also a little apprehensive.
Why is there no imitation of Chiba games? Wouldn't it be possible to use animation for propaganda like this?
For a moment, Shiraishi's mind was chaotic, and he didn't know whether to stop the project.
He wanted to stop, but he couldn't make up his mind. Because this is his last plan, if he gives up this plan, he will not be able to make a difference in the league's profitability in the next quarter. The video game league will still exist, but he will definitely go.
Either way, take a gamble.
Shiraishi, who was alone and no one was looking, clenched his fists and decided.
If Lin Yan knew that he hadn't done anything and caused so much trouble to Baishi, he would have thought it was funny.
He knew that the "Digimon" cartoon would set off a boom, and he knew that the sales of the "Digimon Machine" would bring the electronic pet machine to a new peak.
However, he had no intention of stopping or emulating this plan, because it was not something he was good at in Chiba Games, where he was now.
There are many things in this world, and almost everyone knows how to make money, but why not everyone does it, it is because he does not have the ability to do it.
Electronic pet machine. Chiba games can be done, but what about making them. It takes too much energy and doesn't necessarily make a lot of money.
If the video game alliance carries out a series of operations, it will even make Chiba Games have a bad reputation for plagiarism in the eyes of the public.
If you let Lin Yan decide. He thinks that making a handheld game console is much more reliable than making an electronic pet machine.
However, now the Chiba game is still that problem, and all the energy is put into the red and white machine. The profitability of the red and white machine is strong enough, and there is no need to launch new products to squeeze the profit margin of their own red and white machine.
However, the accumulation of technology for portable game consoles can now begin.
When we started to develop a portable game console, we faced another problem. That's the problem of leaks. If they want to make a game console, it will be known by other manufacturers. There will definitely be a strong follow-up, and even in order to seize the opportunity, they may not launch portable game consoles before Chiba Games.
However, it is impossible not to develop it. One day, the red and white machine will be eliminated by time. And the Chiba game, which is only the main product, will it die directly when the time comes?
Lin Yan moved a thought. It took him three hours to write down a detailed plan for a portable game console.
Here's what the portable game console in the plot looks like. A "miniature portable color handheld game console capable of running red and white games perfectly".
The foothold of this plan is that the rapid update and iteration of electronic technology will further reduce the cost of electronic components, so that there is the possibility that the cost can be accepted after miniaturization.
This plan was quickly approved at the discussion meeting of Chiba Games.
Just as Lin Yan expected. Japan's major video game manufacturers all know the next move of Chiba Games.
After learning that Chiba Games had invested a huge amount of money to set up a handheld game console research and development department, various capable manufacturers also started their plans.
When Shiraishi got this plan. His face changed and changed. According to the plan, this is a miniature red and white machine, which means that it must be more than one game, and it can change the cassette. Among the cassettes that can be replaced, there is even a video pet game similar to the "Digimon Rex".
So that's what you think. Shiraishi knew about his electronic pet plan, which really made Lin Yan react, so he had more confidence in this plan he single-handedly promoted.
He touched his chin while weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the red and white machine and the electronic pet machine in the palm of his hand.
Soon his somewhat ugly face was relaxed. According to his deduction, he does not believe that the handheld red and white chance has a lethal effect on the electronic pet machine.
There are two main advantages of electronic pet machines, one is cheap, and the other is specific.
Although Shiraishi is a manager and an operator, this does not mean that he does not have any understanding of video games and the machines that are the carriers of video games.
If you want to achieve the level of a handheld red and white machine, the difficulty is definitely not small. It's very difficult to shrink a red-and-white machine into a game console that you can fit in your pocket.
Although this difficulty can be overcome, it can be done. However, the question is, how much does the game console cost?
Thinking that this machine must not be cheap, Shiraishi was relieved.
At the same time, he also knew that at the next regular meeting of the video game alliance, there will definitely be a proposal for portable game consoles, and this proposal will definitely pass.
Of course, Lin Yan knew that the cost of a perfect handheld red and white machine was very high, and in fact, he had no hope of making a perfect handheld red and white machine.
Even if you don't talk about the cost, in the era when there is no breakthrough in battery technology, if you want to have the performance of a red and white machine, the battery life of the machine will definitely be like a diabetes collapse.
This is also a trap he has put down, a smoke bomb, and if anyone follows the model he proposed, they will definitely die a miserable death.
As for the R&D department within Chiba Games, it has over-developed because it has too high expectations for the machine. That's not a problem, as time goes by, these over-developed technologies will definitely be useful one day. The accumulation of technology is never too much, not too advanced.
Of course, Lin Yan also had some guilt in his heart. Because of his misdirection, there will be manufacturers who mistakenly produce machines that are not suitable for this era, and some players will pay for it.
However, Lin Yan still has to do this, otherwise, he doesn't know if Chiba Games will be surpassed by other manufacturers. At that point, he didn't know if he still had what it took to achieve his ultimate dream of video games.
If you want to build such a game world, you need money, a lot of money! (To be continued......)
