Chapter 189: Counterattack on Nintendo

Mainlanders can't borrow money from banks on the mainland, but Hong Kong people can.

It may sound strange, but that's the reality.

The rules of the bank are simple - whoever can afford to pay back will lend money!

"Mr. Fan, let's talk about specific cooperation projects. I heard Li Shao say that Fenglin Town, led by Mr. Fan, wants to build a township enterprise group......"

In the past few days, Ling Hefan has not been idle, and has a general understanding of Fan Hongyu's basic situation from Li Chunyu.

"That's the case, what Fenglin Town needs at this stage is a labor-intensive industry. The masses in Fenglin Town, generally not highly educated, and industries with high technical requirements are not suitable for them. Therefore, what I want to cooperate with Mr. Ling is such a project. ”

Fan Hongyu picked up the juice, took a sip, and said slowly.

Ling Hefan suddenly became interested, and immediately asked, "What project?" ”

"Home game console!"

"Nintendo?"

Ling Hefan was taken aback, and at the same time a little puzzled.

Nintendo of Japan, is currently a very well-known supplier of home game consoles all over the world.

"Yes, it's Nintendo."

Fan Hongyu said with certainty.

Ling Hefan frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Fan, I don't understand a little, why did you fall in love with this industry?" ”

Fan Hongyu smiled and asked rhetorically: "Mr. Ling, what do you understand about this industry?" ”

Rei and Fan groaned: "After Nintendo's family game console FC was put on the market, it really caused a lot of repercussions, and the sales performance was also very good. But, Mr. Fan, I think, this is a trail after all. That's right, in the future. Computer industry. It will indeed become the latest trend and the most sunrise industry. But the audience for game consoles is always limited. Mostly teenagers will indulge in it......"

"The meaning of the general order. Want to directly engage in the cutting-edge computer industry? Software development or hardware production? ”

"It's all right!"

Fan Hongyu smiled and asked, "Then Mr. Ling, do you have this strength?" Technology. Capital, talent, sales network, where do you have an advantage? ”

Fan Hongyu's words were asked unceremoniously, but they were also true.

Ling Hefan was young, his career was just starting, and he was immediately facing financial difficulties, and he had rarely set foot in the computer industry before.

Ling Hefan did not refute Fan Hongyu's words. asked casually: "Then Mr. Fan does he think that we have an advantage in engaging in family game consoles?" This is an industry that we have no experience with before. ”

"Of course there are advantages!"

"What advantages?"

Fan Hongyu smiled lightly. Reach out and point to your head. said indifferently: "This is our advantage!" ”

Rei and Fan were completely speechless.

knew that Fan Hongyu was not a modest and cautious character, but he didn't expect to be so "domineering". He actually felt. His mind is the greatest strength.

"Mr. Ling, the predecessor of Nintendo, was just a small family business that produced cards, and they had no advantages at all in terms of technology, capital, talent, and sales network. In just a few years, it has grown into a world-renowned supplier of home game consoles, and Mr. Ling believes that what is the secret of Yamauchi's success? ”

Fan Hongyu asked lightly.

The so-called Yamauchi Pu is the current president of Nintendo Corporation and a key figure in the rise of Nintendo.

In another world, Fan Hongyu is a loyal "pump" of Nintendo's game consoles, and he knows Nintendo's development history well, at least the general context is very clear. Of course, the current Nintendo company is still just starting out, occupying a place in the home game console industry, and is far from developing to the height of "the world's first" in later generations.

Their handheld console, which has not yet been officially launched.

Fan Hongyu wants to enter the home game console industry at this time, and what he is staring at is the handheld game console. plans to insert a lever horizontally, preemptively launch a handheld game console before Nintendo, and nip Yamauchi's handheld plan in the bud.

Ling Hefan also became serious, thought about it, and said: "It should still be Yamauchi Pu's unique vision." In the past few years, the sales of home game consoles have declined sharply, and many businesses have added the functions of game consoles in order to attract customers, such as the function of learning, which can help children learn, calculate and practice typing. Yamauchi Pu did the opposite, claiming that Nintendo's game console, the only function is to play games, and all other functions are removed, the manufacturing cost will be reduced, and the competitiveness will be stronger. ”

"That's right!"

Fan Hongyu smiled.

"Playstation can help with learning, it's basically. It is nothing more than a gimmick used by merchants to convince their parents. How many kids will learn and practice typing while playing games? This kind of learning function is flashy, but it greatly increases the cost of production. Nintendo's FC has a single function and is better at a low price. That's the secret of their success. ”

Ling Hefan said: "In that case, what can we compete with them? ”

"Handheld game console!"

Fan Hongyu said without hesitation.

"Handheld game consoles?"

Ling Hefan began to faint again.

This comrade deputy mayor of the mainland, his whimsical ideas are really endless. How did he come up with this handheld game console? What is the so-called handheld game console?

"Mr. Ling, today's home game consoles require a super-large monitor, such as a TV. In other words, if you want to play a game, you have to sit down and play in front of the TV. This is not the biggest bottleneck restricting the further development of home game consoles, the biggest bottleneck is time! ”

This time, Ling Hefan didn't refute, immediately nodded, and said, "Yes, that's the case." In the first two years, I also liked to play game consoles, which was too time-consuming. ”

"So let's imagine if we launch a portable handheld game console, take it with you, whether it's waiting for the car, riding in the car or other leisure time, you can take it out and play games. In your opinion, what are the market prospects for such consoles? ”

Fan Hongyu looked at Ling Hefan with a smile on his face.

Ling Hefan couldn't help but be stunned, and then fell into deep thought, obviously trying his best to digest what Fan Hongyu said.

Fan Hongyu lit another cigarette and smoked it slowly, without disturbing him.

"Wonderful! Great! ”

After a while, Ling He slapped his thigh violently and shouted, then he felt out of shape and closed his mouth a little sneeringly. But his face was flushed, and he was obviously extremely excited. Looking at Fan Hongyu's eyes, they shone brightly.

"Mr. Fan, it's really amazing! If we can really launch this kind of handheld game console at a reasonable price, I believe it won't be long before it becomes popular all over the world. ”

Ling and Fan are amazed.

Fan Hongyu smiled and handed him a cigarette.

Ling Hefan nodded, took a few puffs, and said: "Mr. Fan, the production of this kind of handheld game console, in terms of technology, there is not much difficulty, and the initial capital investment is not much, you can start immediately, and the finished product will be produced soon." ”

Rei Wo Fan is worthy of being a business elite in Hong Kong, and once he has figured out the key points, he immediately began to cut into the technical level.

Fan Hongyu smiled.

However, Ling Hefan immediately calmed down again, frowned slightly, and said, "Mr. Fan, if Nintendo also launches the same product, what should I do?" As you know, the Japanese have a strong ability to imitate, and many times, they can beat the original creator with this strong imitation ability! ”

For this reason, Japan is also known as the "monkey nation".

Fan Hongyu said indifferently: "It's okay, Nintendo can't defeat us." Japanese products have always been cheap. In this regard, they have no advantage. We have our headquarters in Hong Kong and our manufacturing facilities in the Mainland. In terms of artificiality alone, Nintendo is beyond the reach of the dust. ”

"Yes, yes! How did I not think of this? Japan's labor costs are estimated to be more than ten times or even dozens of times that of the mainland! ”

Ling Hefan slapped his head and suddenly realized.

After all, the mainland has just started reform and opening up for a few years, and has not yet become a "global manufacturing factory", and the manufacturing industry has not yet flocked to the mainland to set up factories.

"That's it. This savings are more than enough to offset the transportation costs. ”

Rei and Fan immediately said: "However, Mr. Fan, in addition to labor costs and transportation costs, technical costs must also be considered. Japan's labor is relatively high, but the proficiency of their skilled workers is not comparable to that of the mainland. In addition, there is R&D capabilities, which the mainland may not be able to compare with Japan. I'm sorry, Mr. Fan, I'm telling the truth! ”

Fan Hongyu said with a smile: "Mr. Ling, I have considered all these problems. The production of handheld game consoles, except for a few core components, is not too demanding on the process, as long as there are corresponding machinery and equipment, workers can be produced after a short period of training. It's not a big problem. As for R&D capabilities, the upgrading of handheld game consoles is mainly to replace software, not hardware. In fact, game development has only just started in the world, and Japan does not have much advantage at all. In the development of new games, there is one thing that Nintendo can't compare to us in any way. ”

"Which one?"

Ling Hefan hurriedly asked.

Fan Hongyu smiled and stretched out his hand to his head again.

Ling Hefan's head was full of black lines, and he smiled bitterly: "Mr. Fan is so confident? ”

"Of course!"

Fan Hongyu replied without modesty.

It's not that Fan Hongyu is much smarter than the Japanese, but in this head, there are almost all the classic games that Nintendo will have on the handheld game console in the next ten years, such as Tetris. There are also some mini-games, which are not produced by Nintendo, and are still hidden in his mind. Although many of these mini-games are computer games pushed out by later generations, they can be used on handheld game consoles with slight modifications.

In other words, Fan Hongyu took care of all the game ideas alone, and they only needed to find a group of programmers and animation production personnel.

In this regard, not long after, it is precisely the mainland that "produces" the most, and the "quality" is also very high!

The speed of handheld mini game generation, not to mention Nintendo, even if all the mini game developers in the world combined, it can't compare to Fan Hongyu's head!
