Chapter 278: Who Remembers the Second Channel?

NEC was depressed, Sega SS's CPU was replaced with Motorola chips, and they lost a super big customer except for a small number of MD console orders.

Not to mention the PC-E series consoles jointly produced by NEC and Hudson, which had no future and hope under the pressure of MD, and now there is a 32-bit SS, and the 32-bit PC-FX project they are developing has to be stopped, and the progress has not yet reached 20%, what chance do they have to compete with Sega?

Sony is depressed, although SS's CD-ROM is the jishu program they provide, but it can be seen through the amount of jishu authorization, there is more Philips in the CD standard, Sony only accounts for less than 10%!

In this year's contact, Kutaragi Ken unknowingly cultivated a fierce beast, Sony provided Jishu for Sega, provided parts for Sega, and stupidly signed a three-year supply agreement to continue to provide precision parts for Sega until 1995!

Let's take a look at the data of SS, what is the difference between this and Sony's own research on PS? Sony's PS R&D progress is about 30%, and it is estimated that it will take two years to launch mature works, but how much market share will Sega win in two years? 70%? 80%? Or 100%?

Nintendo was depressed, needless to say, after learning the news, Yamauchi almost lost his fighting spirit, and he seemed to see another copy of MD suppressing FC.

There is another company, that is 3DO, and they are the most depressed!

Because KTT has intervened in the cross-lever, the negotiation time for the establishment of the company has been extended, causing the members of the 3DO alliance to be one step late. Panasonic's host is being tested in Zuihou and will be launched in just a month. Seeing that he was about to win the honorary title of the world's No. 1, he was preempted by Sega!

The first man to land on the moon was Armstrong. The second man to land on the moon after a gap of 19 minutes was Aldrin.

But who remembers the latter?

In addition to these mega-corporations, more game production providers have modified their 1993 work, and Sega's SS development kit has been announced, which is completely different from the MD development kit, and they need time to adapt.

When the world is in turmoil, Yang Yun, who has changed the fate of many game production companies, is holding a meeting at the headquarters of Longteng in Beijing.

This time, even Wang Zhe and Yang Zhan, executives based in Japan, returned, and Hu Jun, the head of the French R&D center, arrived in the capital in the morning. Jiang Shaoyun, who was far away in the United States, could not come back in person, so he could only attend the meeting by phone.

The construction site next door to the wall is being demolished vigorously, but in the core conference room on the fourth floor of Longteng headquarters, the sound of breathing can be heard quietly.

After Jiang Shaoyun's phone was set up, Yang Yun introduced: "The first important thing, SS production capacity is insufficient, I can't blame anyone for this, it's because I'm too impatient to get started, because I want to grab the honor of shijie first." ”

Not many people know about 3DO. It was KTT Alexey who was in charge of this, and only Jiang Shaoyun, who was also in New York, knew a little bit about it.

Yang Yun continued: "The Longteng plant should expand its production capacity, and the new plant should be built as soon as possible. Yongping, you will go to Shanghai with me tomorrow. As soon as possible, the land of Hudong Industrial Park will be taken down, and the construction of our new factory cannot be delayed. ”

Zhao Yongping nodded: "I will be responsible for the new factory." But do we need to distribute those orders to overseas factories? ”

"No way. These hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign exchange can only be handed over to foundries in Japan and California. Yang Yun said helplessly: "Shaoyun." The Silicon Valley factory has a task of 100,000 units, and I will arrange for a group of people to fly to the United States to guide the assembly. After we built a new factory in Shanghai, Zuihou completely closed the Silicon Valley factory. ”

Jiang Shaoyun agreed, everything in North America is good, but labor is expensive, and now ATI and Motorola can also directly use the North American transportation network to provide products, and after Yang Yun convinces them to set up a factory in Shanghai Electronics Industrial Park, 90% of the production tasks of Sega host will fall in China.

Duan Haisheng asked a little lonely: "In the future, will the Longteng Production Center be arranged in a coastal city with a large port?" Will the Beijing factory be revoked? ”

Yang Yun laughed: "Director Duan, you are too careful, our headquarters is still in Zhongguancun, and you know the national situation, even if we want to leave, I'm afraid it won't be easy to go!" The second thing below, our headquarters, that is, the building under everyone's buttocks, will only be used for administrative management and conference centers in the future, and the R&D team will all move to the Zhaozhuang factory, and our design team will be integrated with the animation industrial park and be down-to-earth. ”

This resolution has been unanimously agreed by everyone, and they have said that the Longteng building is too small, the five floors are not enough at all, and the four or five R&D project teams are crowded.

"I'll just say it, after the demolition of the place next door is completed, it is digging and piling, and then there is a big crane and a big forklift, it will be very noisy in the future, this city center is definitely not a good place to do research!"

Fang Huimin turned out to be the first person to complain, and even their administrative staff couldn't stand it, which shows how big the complaints of the headquarters employees are.

Yang Yun could only raise his hands and beg for mercy: "Okay, okay, hurry up and move quickly...... As long as you are not afraid of the hard work of commuting, we can move outside the Fifth Ring Road......"

Everyone laughed, and Zhao Yongping took over the task: "I will arrange a relocation plan with Huimin." ”

Then Yang Yun said the third thing: "The curtain call in 1992 is perfect, and the game production Jihua I proposed last year is also perfectly completed, and I want to list the game Jihua in 1993." This year, I was still like that, completely delegating power. In addition to the second batch of arcade support jihua to be done by me, handhelds, video games, PC games, as well as cards and game peripherals, anime and peripherals, I will give you all the power to do. ”

"Huh?"

"Mr. Yang, you won't dominate video games this year?"

"That is, the SS platform has just been launched, and you are so confident that you don't plan to make a benchmark game?"

Seeing that everyone was persuading, Yang Yun smiled slightly: "If I do everything, what are you still playing?" It's been 3 years, 3 years have passed, a baby can go to kindergarten at the age of 3, can't he get rid of breastfeeding? ”

Zhang Guoqiang immediately responded: "I can wash my own clothes and dishes for 3 years, Mr. Yang, the TV game will be handed over to Lao Jing and me!" ”

Wang Zhe coughed twice: "There is also a Japanese game software company......"

Xiao Liangyu also learned well: "There is also a French R&D center ......"

On the phone, Jiang Shaoyun hahadaxiao: "Guoqiang, don't forget the Silicon Valley R&D Center!" ”

Zhang Guoqiang was embarrassed, these are all presidents of foreign branches, and their ranks are higher than him, so he hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... I'm so excited, it's over to us, to all of us......"

Zhao Yong said with a flat face: "Nonsense! What's there to scramble about? If only everyone did their part! ”

This scolding, the frightened Zhang Guoqiang didn't dare to say a word, and shrank his shoulders to learn ostriches.

Yang Yun laughed: "Yongping, after the Hudong Industrial Park is completed, a R&D center will be set aside and all these noisy people will be thrown over to me." ”

The atmosphere in the conference room was very harmonious, and everyone discussed short-term tasks, and made medium and long-term development for Longteng development.

The next day, Yang Yun and Zhao Yongping came to Shanghai and met Zhu Shuguang, who had just taken office.

Zhu Shuguang personally took the two to Hudong, standing on the top floor of the Pearl Building by the Huangpu River, Zhu Shuguang looked at the barren Hudong, pointed to the construction sites that had begun to break ground, and sighed: "Xiao Yang, although the Hudong Development Zone looks dilapidated, it is conceivable that one big step a year, three years of great changes, Hudong will become the most dynamic development zone in China, and make great contributions to China's reform and opening up." ”

Of course, Yang Yun knows what the Hudong Development Zone will look like in the future, he just wants to take this hitchhiker, and by the way, he brings in the gasoline catalyst he carries with him, as well as the design and planning drawings bought from abroad, as private goods, and makes some contributions to the country.

Zhu Shuguang circled a large land on the map, with an area of 600 acres, 400,000 square meters, that is, 0.4 square kilometers, the size of three Beijing animation industrial parks, which belongs to the first phase of the planned Lujiazui financial and trade zone.

Zhu Shuguang said: "Because games and animation are not heavy industries and manufacturing, the city government decided to place you in the financial and trade zone, with the intention of making it a cultural and art district. Among them, there are 200 acres of Longteng R&D center, and another 200 acres are attracting investment after the overall planning, and the remaining 200 acres are temporarily untouched, and we are ready for sustainable development. ”

Yang Yun and Zhao Yongping were overjoyed, the first phase of the Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone project is only 6.8 square kilometers in total, and it is really quite a lot to give them 200 acres of land in this core area!

"Mayor Zhu, we didn't cause you trouble, did we?" Zhao Yongping asked cautiously.

Zhu Shuguang waved his hand and laughed: "I know what you guys are worried about. You are businessmen, you don't have to worry about our political affairs, as long as you can drive the development of the entire industry, there will naturally be people lined up to protect you! ”

Yang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, he was worried that Zhu Shuguang would dig into the corner of the wall like this, and the Beijing Municipal Government would show his face, and everyone would not look good at that time.

However, he still smiled and said: "But Mayor Zhu, I'm afraid I have to trouble you with one more thing, approve a small place, and we Longteng will build a new factory!" (To be continued......)
