Chapter Seventy-Nine: Motorola's Digital BB Machine is about to go on sale
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Ye made a special trip to Lujiazui, and all the residents here had moved out. The entire Lujiazui has become a large construction site.
Hundreds of construction workers are in the thick of the ground leveling or digging foundations.
On the construction site, forklifts, bulldozers, excavators, dump trucks and many other machines can be seen everywhere.
In order to support the construction of the Shanghai Wujiang factory, the city government really mobilized a large number of construction teams and machines.
Of course, Wujiang Company gives money, and it is not low.
When the money is in place, the workers are motivated to work.
After a walk around Lujiazui, Zhao Ye went back.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back to Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, he saw the little secretary Liu Yinyin running over with a anxious face and telling him bad news.
"Boss, Motorola has just released the news that the Motorola digital BB machine was successfully developed two months ago, and it has now entered the mass production stage and will be sold in the global market soon!"
"This news is really terrible, the good days of Wujiang Company's monopoly on digital BB machines are gone!" Zhao Ye sighed and said, "Forget it, since Motorola is also going to sell a digital BB machine, then let's give it a greeting gift!" ”
"Boss, Motorola is our competitor, what kind of gift do you want to give it?" Liu Yinyin was puzzled.
Zhao Ye smiled and said: "Notice, the Imagine digital BB machine will wait until the day when the Motorola digital BB machine is officially on sale, and the price will be reduced by 500 yuan!" ”
At present, the national retail price of the Imagine digital BB machine is 2,500 yuan.
After the price reduction, it is 2000 yuan.
Zhao Ye estimates that the price of Motorola digital machines is probably between 2000 and 2500.
The Imagine digital BB machine is not much more advanced than the Motorola digital machine, and if you want to beat the Motorola digital machine, you can only rely on the Hanxian BB machine. Before the Hanxian BB machine was developed, it could only fight a price war with the other party.
In this era, there are too many people in China who worship foreign countries, and they don't think that Imagine is more high-end than Motorola.
Relying on the brand alone, the Imagine digital BB machine wants to sell at the same price as Motorola, which is obviously thinking too much.
The country's economy is still relatively backward, and people are still not confident.
Only when the country becomes prosperous and powerful will national self-confidence return.
In 2024, people at that time, regardless of gender, old and young, are full of national self-confidence, and Western countries are just like that, nothing remarkable. With 100 times the hard work, 1000 times hard, and 10,000 times the perseverance, the Chinese have created a Chinese speed that amazes the world in all walks of life, and has successively surpassed Canada, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and RB, second only to the United States, becoming the world's second largest economy!
However, before the 21st century, domestic brands beat foreign brands, mostly through price wars.
At this time, many domestic businessmen were ready to move.
"The sales of the Imagine digital BB machine are so good, I expect the Motorola digital BB machine to sell even better! If we can be the agent of Motorola digital machines, then we will be rich! Yanagawa said excitedly.
Due to the fact that too many technicians were poached by Zhao Ye, the computing institute company has given up taking the route of "technology, industry and trade".
The computing institute company acts as an agent for foreign PCs and makes a lot of money.
Yanagawa and others have already tasted the sweetness of getting rich by acting as an agent for other products, and they are addicted.
Now when I saw that Motorola was going to release a digital BB machine, I immediately thought of acting as an agent for this product.
"Lao Liu, this opportunity is rare, and you have to go out in person to help the computing company win the agency of Motorola's digital BB machine!" Yanagawa a colleague was suggested.
"Okay, no problem!" Liu Chuanzhi smiled confidently, nodded, and thought, Motorola must be in a hurry to open the Chinese market now, and our computing company is outstanding in China, and has achieved great success in acting as a PC.
This successful experience is also applicable to the proxy digital BB machine.
On the same day, Yanagawa contacted Motorola's office in China.
The people in the office immediately reported the news that the computing institute company wanted to act as an agent for Motorola digital BB machines, and once the headquarters studied the strength and background of the computing institute company, it immediately asked the computing institute company to be the general agent of Motorola digital BB machines in China.
Just when the industry and dealers were shocked and ecstatic by the Motorola digital BB machine.
Zhao Ye didn't take it seriously, after he finished instructing Liu Yinyin, it was the same as usual.
However, as the animation production team became familiar with the production style and rhythm of "Pokemon", Zhao Ye did not have to come over to supervise it often.
At this time, the MMC chip has also entered the tape-out stage.
Tape-out determines whether the chip design solution can be used or not.
The successful tape-out shows that the chip has passed the "assembly line production step" of the factory and has zero errors in the whole process, and the subsequent production process will also be based on this.
It takes three months to tape out, and three months to mass production, and tape-out is actually trial production.
Therefore, it will take six months at the latest to get the chip to be listed.
At this time, Zhao Ye returned to the capital to check how the various game projects were going.
Dragon Quest, Contra, Crimson Fortress, Saloman Snake, The Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and Pokemon are seven games that are much more difficult to develop than the Bloody series, and so far, these seven games are still in development.
Zhao Ye carefully checked each game item.
There is basically nothing wrong with the direction of game development, but the art and music are a little different from the original, and Zhao Ye can't ask the game to be exactly the same as the original, which is not realistic at all.
Seeing that none of their seven project teams made mistakes, Zhao Ye was very satisfied.
"I spent some time at the Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio, where they're working on 'The Hulu Brothers' in addition to 'Pokemon'. I think "Hulu Brothers" can be adapted into a game! ”
Zhao Ye talked eloquently, and then introduced the story of "Hulu Brothers" to everyone and how it was adapted into a game.
As soon as he finished speaking, an RB game developer in the audience said loudly: "Boss, Nintendo has released an adventure game called "Super Mario" in the past two months, is the gameplay of "Hulu Brothers" you just designed similar to it?" ”
When Zhao Ye heard this, he smiled and admitted generously: "Well, yes, it's not that we want to be innovative, "Hulu Brothers" has seven gourds, different colors, representing different superpowers, and the gameplay will be more diverse." ”
After a pause, Zhao Ye asked rhetorically, "So, do you think that if we develop "Hulu Brothers", will it be popular?" ”
"Super Mario" exploded, and now it has swept Japan and the United States, shocking the gaming circle.
A game like this, maybe it can really catch fire.
