In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Yan returned home with a few cassette. Start testing these games to see if they can pass the review.

Some games can't pass the review, not only because the quality of the game itself is too poor, the playability is too low, or the degree of completion is too low. Some of them are also because of the subject matter.

The market for red and white machines cannot be limited to Japan. Even if it's not a sea of stars, it's more than half the world.

Although, Lin Yan did not say how many countries the red and white opportunities are listed in. However, the people of Chiba Yuki and Chiba games have more or less a spectrum in their hearts.

After all, the red and white machine is so thick, and more than 100 patents have been applied for in so many countries. Say it's idle, and no one will believe it.

Because, in many countries, so many patents are registered. Patent fees are a huge amount of money that is astronomical for ordinary people.

And in countries like the United States, for example, its patent law is very interesting. It is said that if the product with this patent is not put on the market within three years, then it is equivalent to automatically giving up the patent.

Big companies use this clause to kill a lot of small companies with patents. It's very cost-effective for them, as long as they can't produce it, and after a few years, they can use these patents.

Therefore, the red and white machine must land in the US market within three years.

However, this is simple. But it's not a simple matter. It's not because the games on the red and white machine aren't fun and don't appeal to American players.

Rather, it was because of the collapse of Atari that stinked the image of the entire video game among the American population.

During this time. The American scolding may be like this.

"You video gamer!"

"You're the one who plays video games, and your whole family plays video games."

For a language like English, there is a lack of swear words. Atari can be regarded as enriching the lives of the American people to a certain extent. For the American people, I added some after-dinner conversations.

After all, Atari was on the other side of the Mexican border, burying millions of copies of "ET the Extra-Terrestrial". Decades later, maybe these cassettes. Maybe it will become a treasure, and there will be a lot of players who have changed from children to middle-aged people. Come here to dig for treasure.

Reminiscing about the horrors that ET the Extra-Terrestrial brought them.

Of course, memories are always good. Even if it's too scary. In the memory, it seems to turn into a sweet candy color.

Like some small islands, there is always nostalgia for the rule of the Queen of England. If you don't want to be an upright person, you like to lie on the ground and be a well-behaved Shiba Inu.

Lin Yan reviewed these games. Arcade games of this time. There is usually no background. Because, even if the background is narrated in words, it needs to be added to the Japanese character library. And in order to cut costs, it's better not to use the font library, which occupies memory.

If there is no plot, there will be basically no illegal content. Therefore, on the point of whether the content is violated, these cassettes have all passed.

And in the degree of completion of the game. There were two that didn't pass. Because, the degree of transplantation is too low. Playability is greatly diminished.

This kind of quality is not up to par game. It must not appear on the red and white machine.

The quality of the game on a game console is shaped over time. And to ruin it, all it takes is a game, just a breath away.

Lin Honeysuckle patiently wrote down the specific reasons for not passing each game that did not pass. He did this because he was afraid of these third-party manufacturers, because the game did not pass. And resentment. Thereby making damage to Chiba games, the image on the side of the maker.

At present, although the red and white machine has more than two million units sold. However, compared to this dazzling sales. The software is still too thin. There are only a few games in total. Not enough to support more sales.

And the old players, maybe because there are too few games. And mothballed the machine. Although the machine is sold, it is eating ashes, so what's the point?

After all. The hardware of the red and white machine is not profitable. If, really carefully calculated the freight, taxes, and so on messy expenses. Perhaps, for every machine sold. There will be a loss of a few hundred dollars.

A few hundred yen may not seem like much, but with more than 2 million sales, it is a lot.

The good thing, though, is that the cassette is profitable. Moreover, no one just buys a machine and does not buy a cassette. So, although the machine is slightly loss-making. However, these millions of units were sold. It didn't let the capital chain of Chiba Games collapse.

In fact, things are looking for the better right now. With stable and continuous sales, Lin Yan can better negotiate the unit price of each component with the processing factory, as well as the more stringent requirements, and improve the quality while reducing the price.

I believe that most of the manufacturers with brains. will not refuse Lin Yan's negotiations. Because, as long as you take this list of red and white machines. It's enough to feed the whole plant.

And if they take other orders, it may take orders from ten companies to support the production capacity of their factory.

Whether it is good to serve a demanding large customer, or a colleague to serve a customer with different requirements. Which is simpler, I believe that some bosses with brains will know how to choose.

It is precisely because the sales of red and white machines are stable and huge, so Lin Yan has the confidence to negotiate conditions with OEM factories and component factories.

If the sales are small, it is pitiful. Then there will be no factory willing to take care of it. It's like later, there was a teacher Luo who said cross talk in China, and his hammer had quality problems. Isn't the OEM factory unwilling to solve the process problem for him?

The reason why he is reluctant to help him solve the process problem. It's because the sales of hammers are too small. They don't look down on it. If you change apples, or whole grains. Not to mention letting them improve their processes, even if they are asked to build a large factory with hundreds of thousands of people in Africa, they will carefully consider it.

Why is the gap so big. It's because the latter two have enough sales. Electronics are the kind of thing, actually.

The more produced, the lower the unit price. Perhaps, individually, there is a slight difference from pure hand-finishing. However, as soon as sales came up, this gap became too large.

This is also the reason why industry replaces handicrafts.

In the early days of industrialization, what machines produced were good that could be made by hand?

It's just that the price is cheap enough.

Lin Yan wrote all the cassettes and feedback suggestions, put them in the school bag, and gave them to Chiba Yuki tomorrow, and then she handed them over to the third-party manufacturer. (To be continued.) )
