Of course, Sharp would not give up the customer easily, and hurriedly sent someone to contact Rex Aiden, saying that the price could be reduced.

Rex Aiden is the best at maneuvering between the two rivals, back and forth, and the operation is as fierce as a tiger, so that the offers of Panasonic and Sharp are both as low as $28 million.

Considering that Sharp's LCD technology is a little stronger, Rex Eden decided to buy TN LCD production line and related technology from Sharp.

In the morning of the same day, Rex Aiden asked Zhao Ye for instructions, and after obtaining consent, in the afternoon, Rex Aiden signed a purchase agreement with Sharp on behalf of Wujiang Group for TN LCD production line and related technology.

After the agreement was signed, Zhao Ye also learned the news for the first time.

In this regard, Zhao Ye had to sigh that Resker Aiden was awesome, and then told him to bring the TN LCD production line and technical information back to China as soon as possible.

Next, Zhao Ye is responsible for winning the battle of home game consoles.

After the Shanghai Wujiang factory waited for the MMC chip to be produced, it immediately produced the game cartridge.

Each game cartridge is equipped with a game graphics enhancement chip, MMC.

Also, depending on the size of the game, add the number of memory chips on the game cartridge.

For example, "Pokemon" uses 6 memory chips, while "Tetris" only uses 1 memory chip.

The price of the game cartridge is set based on the number of memory chips used.

For example, Tetris costs 5,000 yen and Pokemon costs 8,000 yen.

According to the current 100:6 yen to RMB, the prices of Tetris and Pokemon are 300 RMB and 640 RMB respectively.

It is not difficult to see that the price of genuine game cartridges is not cheap.

The price of the Nintendo FC red and white game console is only 14,800 yen, that is: 888 yuan.

The price of the "Poor Strange Home Game Console" is even cheaper than the FC Red and White Machine, priced at 13,000 yen, or 780 yuan.

As long as the more home game consoles are sold, the more game cartridges can be sold in the future, and the more money can be made.

……

At this time, just before the launch of the "Qiqi Home Game Console".

The chip development team led by Zhao Ye finally designed the Kirin 2.

However, it doesn't seem to be something to be proud of.

Intel released a 16-bit chip on February 1, 1982.

ARM's parent company took only one year to directly develop the initial 32-bit processor ARM1 and apply it to the Acorn computer.

However, later designers were able to inherit the past and design more excellent 16-bit chips, not to mention under the leadership of Zhao Ye.

Zhao Ye's chip design ability was already at the first-class level in his previous life, and now in this era, there is no doubt that it is the strongest.

From the data, you can see it.

"The 80286 processor integrates approximately 130,000 transistors with a maximum frequency of 20MHz and uses a 16-bit data bus and a 24-bit address bus. Kirin 2 integrates about 150,000 transistors, with a maximum frequency of 24MHz, and Kirin 2 has low power consumption and low price! ”

Zhao Ye said, "Next, arrange for people to conduct various tests on the Kirin 2, and start tape-out without any problem, and finally strive to be able to mass-produce the Kirin 2 as soon as possible." The design team of the original Kirin 2 chip took a week off, and then began to design the Kirin 3, this time we will directly design the 32-bit processor, and the Kirin 3 will be a chip that can really be applied to PC products! ”

The 16-bit Kirin 2 chip is likely to only be used on home game consoles, handhelds, and arcade machines.

Of course, it can be used on a personal computer, but obviously it can't compete with a 32-bit computer.

It will take more than four months for Kirin 2 to detect and tape-out, and then it will be mass-produced, and it will take at least a year for a chip to be mass-produced.

It seems that the Kirin 2 will not be available on a large scale until next year.

At around 3 o'clock this afternoon, Zhao Ye picked up the phone at this time and called Wang Jizhi.

Wang Jizhi was studying the handheld game console in the laboratory, when the landline on the table suddenly rang, which immediately attracted his attention.

After connecting the phone, I learned that it was the boss who called, and I couldn't help but ask what was going on.

Zhao Ye said: "Loongson Design Company has designed the Kirin 2 and is now testing it, but there should be no problem with the high probability." In your hardware department, you can try to develop a 16-bit home game console! ”

"If you don't have enough people, you will recruit people, and your department will be responsible for developing more products in the future, such as electronic pet machines, arcade machines, personal computers, ......."

"Good boss!" Wang Jizhi smiled bitterly and accepted the task.

The hardware development department of the Borderless Group is now divided into two parts: Lu Jia leads the communication division (BB machines) and he leads the game and PC division (home game consoles, handheld computers, and computer motherboards).

The hardware development departments of Hanka and Typewriter have been abolished and merged into these two divisions.

At present, Wang Jizhi leads the game and PC division with the largest number of employees, with more than 300 engineers.

The Qiqi 1 home game console has not yet been listed, but it is necessary for Wujiang Group to make technical reserves for the Qiqi 2 home game console.

Zhao Ye's thoughts at this time were very real.

If in the era of 8-bit consoles, Poor Qi 1 can't kill Nintendo FC.

Then in the era of 16-bit home machines, overtake in corners and completely crush each other!

Nintendo is probably too comfortable to lie down to make money, and it doesn't want to move, and it was not developed for a long time in the previous life that the 16-bit home game console was launched, and the first 16-bit home console was launched in 1990. And Sega launched the 16-bit home game console MD back in 1988.

If you stay in your comfort zone for a long time, you will destroy your ambition, and the same is true for the company.

Previously, Nintendo had never met an opponent, and in this life, if Nintendo still did that, Zhao Ye would let it know why the flowers were so popular......

"Boss, do 16-bit home game consoles still use game cartridges as a storage medium?" Wang Jizhi asked.

"Nope! We use CDs as the game storage medium! Zhao Ye shook his head and said, "The CD has a large storage capacity and low cost, which is much stronger than the game cartridge!" ”

"Boss, we haven't been licensed by Philips or Sony......"

"It's okay, licensing is coming soon!" Zhao Ye smiled calmly and replied firmly.

As long as the Qiqi 1 home game console sells well, then both Philips and Sony will definitely pay attention to the Wujiang Group, so as to promote CD as a game storage standard.

When the news spread that the Qiqi 2 home game console planned to use CDs as storage media, the two companies might take the initiative to seek cooperation!

In the final analysis, it depends on one's own strength, and only when the strength is strong is worthy of sitting together and cooperating.

Otherwise, what grade can you be on an equal footing with Philips and Sony......

Before, Wang Jizhi went to Philips to discuss cooperation, but he was despised.

"Okay, then I'll use CD as the storage medium to develop a 16-bit home game console!"

"Hmm."

……

……

"It's almost June 1st, what's Nintendo's move?"

"There is no movement, it is a threat to a third-party game developer before."

"It seems that Nintendo is completely ignoring our existence!"

"Yes, boss."

It's almost June 1st, and the arrogant Nintendo still has a contemptuous attitude, disdainful of the upcoming launch of the "Poor Strange Home Game Console", and has hardly taken any action, such as price reductions or promotions......

Perhaps in Nintendo's opinion, there are so many competitors, which onion is Wujiang?

Zhao Ye took the fragrant tea handed over by his secretary Liu Yinyin, smiled faintly, took a sip, and showed a hint of ridicule at the corner of his mouth. I'm afraid Nintendo never expected that Wujiang's "Qiqi 1 Home Game Console" carries nearly 20 classic games, and it will attack strongly, and it will directly confuse FC......
