Chapter Fifty-Eight: America! United States!
And the little chubby dun is the teacher's favorite and most hated child.
This kind of child is more intelligent, has the ability to think independently, and can find and solve problems independently. This is basically the same as the development process of "Iron Plate Array".
It is said that this kind of child is liked by teachers because they are smart and do not bother people. It is said that they are not liked by the teacher, but also because they are smart and do not like to trouble themselves. Teacher, this kind of creature, you look for him too much, he annoys you. If you don't look for him, he feels lost.
Lin Yan didn't know if he had this kind of shaking and admiration attribute, but he hoped not, he hoped that he was a normal person. There are no normal people with those weird quirks.
Xiao Chubby Dun's "Super Iron Plate Array", I don't know how the research and development is. Lin Yan didn't ask, and Xiao Chubby Dun didn't take the initiative to tell him.
Lin Yan thought, maybe when, he will come to ask himself, and when the time comes, he will tell him how to solve the problem without words.
Wait, it seems...... There's a little bit of something wrong.
No matter what you want to do, life is not meant to be thought about. It is used to constantly rush forward.
The dull days are drifting away, and soon it's winter vacation.
Winter vacation, said to be winter vacation, is actually not cold. It's a pity that the whole of Japan stretches from Ryukyu in the south to Hokkaido in the north. There are no public heating facilities.
It can be seen from this that Japan is poor. Japan's resources are underdeveloped.
There are almost no coal stoves, and most families still prefer to use electric stoves.
The family sat down around the kotatsu, their feet and legs stretched under the quilt, and received the warmth from the kotatsu. Eat some seasonal fruits, oranges! Tangerine! Tangerine!
It's not too easy.
However, Lin Yan's life is not so comfortable. In order to pick out beautiful games one by one during the winter holidays and before the peak cassette sales season. He also lost his mind.
Fortunately, after such a long period of education from him, these third-party manufacturers. All already have the potential to make good games. Know how to make a game in the frame of a red and white machine, know how to wear shackles, and dance beautifully.
Actually, what these people used to think. It's not completely unreliable, it's just that it's more difficult to achieve on a red and white machine.
It's not like they haven't encountered such problems when they used to make arcade machines. However, their solution is very violent, which is to simply change the hardware.
And the red and white machine. It's basically impossible to change the hardware to meet their needs. However, it is also possible that it is, and it may be in the storage medium of cassette.
Some manufacturers are already planning to attach audio chips to the cassette, but according to their current solution. It's just too expensive.
There is only one way to deal with this increase in costs, and that is to increase the price of the cassette. But it's not worth it. Another question.
Everything in the world is one problem, connected to another. Solved one of them, there are many more that need to be solved.
Therefore, Lin Yan's advice to them is to continue research and development. Wait until the cost is right before launching.
Lin Yan only now realizes what this feeling of power is like. Any manufacturer, any technology developed by him, is transparent to him. He can understand if he wants to. Even. It is possible that he knows more about the technology they have developed than the third-party manufacturers who have developed it.
He finally realized why such a system appeared to be "dictatorial" and "dictatorial". There will be such a vigorous vitality. It turns out that all things exist for their own reasons.
Existence is reasonable.
There are so many things, listening to the description of outsiders, how unreasonable. However, as long as you have actually run this pattern. I know how much essence is in this model.
Lin Yan likes the atmosphere of sharing technology internally. At his suggestion. The technology of audio enhancement cards has spread in the third-party camp of red and white machines.
Of course, the research and development of technology cannot be used in vain by others by looking at their own results. Therefore, if a manufacturer really uses their technology, it needs to pay.
Of course, Chiba Games also has a leg in this. In fact, almost everything about the red and white machine was in the hands of Chiba Games.
Such benefits are not only high profits. It is also very effective in eliminating the generation of pirated cartridges.
In fact, the technical threshold for red and white machines is very low. Therefore, if you have the heart, you will almost certainly be able to crack the red and white machine. However, being able to crack it, and making pirated games for it are two different things.
Cracking is about technology, while piracy is about law. Under Japan's strict copyright protection laws. People who want to do their hands and feet will still think about it carefully.
In the era of arcades, there were indeed people, and many people pirated Lin Yan's "Space Invaders". That's because Lin Yan only uses the intellectual property rights of "Space Invaders", but has no patent rights.
Although, he has also registered several patents related to arcade machines. However, these patents do not constitute an insurmountable and insurmountable patent barrier.
He is still too young compared to those old manufacturers. Therefore, in a legal sense, there is no space game console that pirated his "Space Invaders" and really violated the law.
This is also the reason why those small businesses have no fear and rush to be the first to pirate.
Actually, Japan was a few decades ago, or the entire eighties, including the nineties. They are also a copycat king. Copycat all the advanced gadgets in the United States, and then, first imitate, then surpass. Strive to enter the market at a lower cost, so as to drive American products to the high-end market to survive.
Do you think that those high-end brands in the United States don't want to take the "civilian" route, they want to go, but they can't afford it. Their labor costs are so high that their ex-factory price can be greater than the Japanese selling price.
Although, it is possible that Japanese products are of poor quality and not so durable.
But who cares? American products, those extra prices, can really have the high quality to match?
American workers and unions will tell you what American business is.
Lin Yan didn't know about these things, but he was planning one thing, which was to go to the United States.
The U.S. video game market, which experienced the collapse of Atari, has shrunk from billions of dollars to just a few hundred million dollars, and Lin Yan wants to revitalize that market.
However, it seems that from the feedback of the questionnaire sent back by professional companies from the other side of the ocean, the market of red and white machines in the United States is not optimistic. (To be continued.) )
