However, just when Yamauchi Pu was still scolding, Zhao Ye was ready to give Nintendo a heavy blow.

In the conference room, executives from the game development department were present.

Zhao Ye looked around and said, "The great success of the Gameboy proves the prospect of portable game consoles. And the explosion of the "Pokemon" game shows that people like development games very much. And in reality, many people are very fond of raising kittens and puppies. So, we can conclude that people love pets! ”

"I'm calling you here today to develop a new product. Since people love to have pets, why don't we develop an "electronic pet"? ”

In the conference room, many people still couldn't understand.

Zhao Ye walked to the blackboard at this time and drew an egg-shaped "electronic pet" machine appearance, with a TN LCD black and white pixel screen in the middle, and three function buttons underneath.

Zhao Ye pointed to the graphic on the blackboard and introduced: "This is" electronic pet ", with a very cute, egg-like appearance, as for the gameplay is very simple, we can introduce a simulated feeding system, the first time the player activates the "electronic pet", there will be a small pet on the screen out of the shell, and then the player has to feed the "pet" in the screen, clean up, play and other nurturing interactions. ”

"Of course, given that we already have super IPs like Pokemon, we can replace these pets with popular pokemon and grow, work, learn, fight, and evolve along the way!"

"Two "electronic pets" can also communicate with each other through infrared rays, make friends with each other, visit homes, give gifts, play games, and if it is a female and a male, they can even further socialize, get married, and then give birth to a baby."

"Who says Pokemon can't have females? Pikachu can distinguish between male and female by the difference in tails, Ash's Pikachu is a male, normal straight line lightning, while female Pikachu has a round notch at the end of her tail, as if she was careful. ”

"Pokemon 2: The Classic of Mountains and Seas will design more female elves!"

After a pause, Zhao Ye said, "The development of "electronic pets" is very difficult, mainly because creativity is rare. In the game development department, it is important to develop an "animatronic pet" as soon as possible, and then cooperate with Gameboy, Pokemon games and cartoons to fully capture the game market! ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

In the previous life, Tuoma Gezi's "electronic pet" swept the world, and then all kinds of copycat products bloomed everywhere.

Speaking of which, Tuoma Gezi still has a poor background in the end, without the blessing of super IP like "Pokemon", otherwise, sales will definitely increase a lot.

In addition, it is the weak distribution ability, which leads to various copycat products to seize the market.

But none of these shortcomings exist in the Borderless Group.

Wujiang Group is fully capable of quickly selling "electronic pets" to all corners of the world!

And even if you are a copycat, can you beat the "Pokemon" IP?

The most attractive thing about the "electronic pet" that Borderless Group is about to develop is its diversified growth system, that is, evolution.

The growth path of each Pokémon will change every time they reach a level point, but which shape they will evolve into depends on how the operator raises them, and this future is unknowable, which will bring curiosity and expectation to players.

It is not difficult to imagine that such a unique growth path will definitely bring intimate emotions to users more than the same fixed feeding growth model, or that users have completely different play mentalities in the face of the above two growth models.

For the former, because the operation habits will have a decisive impact on growth, users will also take care of the "electronic pet" step by step, like raising a child, and will enjoy each stage of growth, and be excited that their pets can grow into different forms; For the latter, because the growth path is fixed, users can only pursue numerical breakthroughs at most, and will only secretly enjoy their pets for being higher than others.

The addition of the diversity growth system will make a simple "electronic pet" intriguing!

In the previous life, the "Tuoma Gezi" pet egg was an electronic pet series game console launched by Bandai in November 1996, but because with the emergence of more diverse entertainment methods such as online games and smartphones, this kind of play of raising electronic pets is no longer attractive.

But in this life, if the "electronic pet" was launched in 1987, it would have been popular for at least fifteen years!

It is expected that the sales of "Borderless Electronic Pet" will far exceed that of Takuma Gezi!

The structure of this "electronic pet" is very simple, the main electronic components are "Kirin 1 chip + circuit board", and you can use the way of bonding packaging, so as not to rely on imported packaging machine equipment, low cost, one less process in the process, and the product is more affordable! However, the chip welding technology of Bonding packaging makes the maintenance personnel hate, and the pins and even the entire chip are covered with vinyl, and basically there is no way to re-solder and repair, and if it is broken, it can only be thrown away. Because the appearance resembles cow poop, it is called "cow poop chip"!

Domestic chip packaging technology is not very advanced.

Wujiang Microelectronics Co., Ltd. is also developing chip packaging technology, but at present, in order to reduce the production cost of "electronic pets", it can use bonding technology to make "cow chips"!

Repair an "electronic pet"? Sorry, buy a new one directly if it's broken!

Anyway, the first generation of "electronic pets" is like this, after all, it is a monopoly, and users have no other choice but to buy the "electronic pets" of Wujiang Group.

The second generation of "electronic pets" may be improved.

In the afternoon of the same day, the project was officially established and a development team of 20 people was formed.

The development time is expected to be completed within half a year.

……

The arcade development department of Wujiang Group.

"Boss, this is the arcade gaming motherboard we designed!" Wang Jizhi was introducing to Zhao Ye at this time, "The 16-bit Kirin 2 chip processor is used, which is powerful, the processing speed is fast, the power consumption is low, the game screen is bright and clear, and the sound adopts stereo surround sound technology to make it more three-dimension......al."

Zhao Ye listened to Wang Jizhi's introduction while looking at a delicately structured circuit board on the table.

Wujiang Group has the development technology of PC motherboards and home game motherboards, so it is basically not difficult to develop arcade motherboards.

Arcade machines are large and don't limit the size of the motherboard too much, so developers will be more relaxed when developing arcade motherboards.

"Boss, this is a detachable game card slot, just insert the game cartridge and you can run the game!"

Nowadays, many arcade machines are almost a game with a motherboard.

If you want to change the game, you need to change the game motherboard directly.

The arcade board developed by Borderless Group was designed to create an arcade platform that could allow other games to be ported to the arcade.

Of course, there are also some arcade motherboards with removable game card slots.

But the various arcade brands, with fierce competition, are not compatible with each other.

The main reason why this is the case is that there is no one strong arcade brand that has the power to dominate.

Well, now the Borderless Group is here.

The dominance of the arcade market must not immediately give way.

A number of games independently developed by the Borderless Group, especially the fighting series games, are very suitable for transplanting to the arcade, so the advantage of the Borderless Group as an arcade machine is great.

What's more, many game developers are begging for food on the "Qiqi Game Console" platform, and the Borderless Group asks to port your game to the arcade, how can you refuse?

Besides, there is hardly any need to refuse.

Borderless arcades are on fire, and these games can also make a lot of money by porting them to arcade platforms.

Zhao Ye saw that there was only one removable game card slot on the arcade motherboard, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, is it possible to get a few more game card slots, so that one arcade machine can play several games......

Dual card slots are suitable? Or is three card slots suitable?

Game card slots are not always better, and the cost will be high.

Although the business of video game rooms is excellent, and every arcade machine is making money at the moment, then, the arcade machine with a single card slot is the most cost-effective.

Although the business of video game rooms is not good, it is more cost-effective to buy multi-card slot arcade machines, as long as there are only a few arcade machines, you can play the most popular arcade games on the market, make full use of the use time of each arcade machine, and create value for the owner of the game room.

So...... Both single-slot arcade and multi-slot arcade can be developed.

Zhao Ye immediately pointed to the detachable game card slot and said to the people around him: "Everyone thought about it, if you add a few more detachable card slots here, will the product line be richer, and it can also increase the sales of game cartridges?" After all, the more card slots, the more game cartridges we sell! ”

Adding a few card slots isn't a big deal.

It's just that everyone didn't think of it.

The human mind tends to be solidified into the assumption that an arcade machine should have a game card slot.

This layer of window paper was pierced by Zhao Ye, and everyone suddenly realized.

Immediately, he looked at Zhao Ye with admiration.

……

Whether it is "Borderless Electronic Pet" or "Borderless Arcade", the screen will use STN LCD color screen.

At this time, Zhao Ye rushed to the Wujiang LCD factory to inspect the development progress of STN technology.

Ouyang Zhongcan, the head of the LCD department, led Zhao Ye to visit the production workshop of the factory, and then went to the laboratory.

"Boss, our developers have perfectly absorbed and digested the TN LCD technology, and are currently attacking the STN LCD technology, and have achieved some results!"

As they spoke, the group walked into the laboratory.

There are more than 120 engineers in total, and the scale is not small.

Ouyang Zhongcan showed Zhao Ye the results of the development team at this time.

Zhao Ye was full of interest and made a listening appearance.

Ouyang Zhongcan asked the laboratory researchers to take out a stn LCD screen they had developed independently, and then connected the equipment to show it to Zhao Ye.

"Boss, we have developed an ordinary STN, this STN LCD screen because of the different liquid crystal materials, as well as the interference of light, the display color is mainly light green and orange."

In the demonstration, there is indeed a big gap between the color of the STN screen made by the Borderless LCD Laboratory and the Sharp STN.

Zhao Ye thought for a while and said: "This kind of color is too poor, and it is almost monochrome stn liquid crystal, if you can add color filters to the STN liquid crystal display, it should be able to improve greatly." ”

Ouyang Zhongcan smiled, nodded in agreement, "Boss, what you said is very right!" We have also found a solution, if you add a color filter to the monochrome STN liquid crystal display, and divide any pixel of the monochrome display matrix into three sub-pixels, display the three primary colors of red, green and blue through the color filter, and then through the harmony of the three primary color ratios, you can display the color of the full-color mode!! ”

"Well, yes, that's the solution!" Zhao Ye agreed.

However, Ouyang Zhongcan said: "The bigger the STN LCD screen is, the worse its contrast will be, and at present, the development team is still trying to improve the STN type, so as to make up for the lack of contrast!" Wang Jizhi contacted me before and asked if the STN screen developed by the LCD factory could be applied to the arcade machine, and I felt that it was still a little impossible. However, the STN LCD screen with color filter can be applied to the "Borderless Electronic Pet", BB machine, handheld game console Gameboy, and Imagine typewriter ......"

Zhao Ye nodded, he was already very satisfied, so many products of the group can use their own LCD screens, which can greatly reduce production costs. He smiled at Ouyang Zhongcan and said: "The development of STN is going very well, everyone will make persistent efforts to improve the technology and apply it to the big screen as soon as possible!" ”

"Well, we will!" Ouyang Zhongcan said confidently.

"The STN LCD market is huge, it's time for us to expand the factory, and then sell STN LCD screens to the outside world, and then seize the market from Japan, Europe and the United States!" Everyone walked out of the laboratory, Zhao Ye suddenly stopped and explained to Ouyang Zhongcan beside him.

Self-production and self-sale alone can't satisfy Zhao Ye's appetite, and he must sell the LCD screen to the world and make a lot of foreign exchange crazily, and by the way, suppress the Japanese LCD factory.

If the Japanese LCD factory makes less money, it will lead to a decrease in R&D funds, which will affect the development speed of Japanese LCD technology.

When it comes to price wars, Chinese companies have never been afraid.

If your product sells for a hundred yuan, I dare to sell it for seventy or eighty yuan, or even fifty or sixty yuan.

Zhao Ye was stunned, and decided: "Invest 1 billion yuan to build the largest LCD factory in China first!" ”

In the previous life, BOE was known as the "factory madness", and the LCD factory under the Wujiang Group should not be far behind, even better than BOE, and strive to become the world's largest LCD screen supplier in the 90s!

When Ouyang Zhongcan and others heard this, they were surprised one by one, the purchasing power of the RMB at this time was very strong, and 1 billion RMB was an astronomical amount, which would definitely be a sensation.

"Boss, your hand is really big, as soon as you make a move, it will be 1 billion people, if this news spreads outside, I am afraid that the investment promotion departments of major cities will be excited...... Ouyang Zhongcan sighed.

When Zhao Ye heard this, he smiled faintly, waved his hand, and said goodbye to everyone......
