Super Tycoon

Zhang Yang is very satisfied with the games made by Li Junsheng and the others. Although they are all pixel games, in his opinion, there are many flaws, but at this time, it is definitely enough.

And according to Zhang Yang's request, they didn't pursue any color, so they used the cheapest 4-color gray screen. The requirements for the CPU are not high, and the power consumption is also lower.

For Nintendo's handheld, a cassette can only store one game, because the game takes up more storage space. Theirs is much smaller. The games they carry are simple and fun, and they don’t need to buy extra cassettes.

Two days later, Zhang Benxiong called: "I asked around, 2.8-inch gray screen LCD, in addition to island countries, can be produced in South Korea, Baodao, Malaysia, etc., and Xiangjiang also has them, but the price is not cheap. .”

"Okay, please fax me the price list. Don't worry, our company's products will definitely allow your company to make more money. Nintendo's agency will be gone if it is gone."

When Zhang Yang asked Zhang Benxiong for help, Zhang Benxiong couldn't believe that Zhiduoxing could make a handheld so quickly, and it could still be cheap and fun.

But he tried to play the handheld games of Zhiduoxing. Although there are not as many types of games as Nintendo, all of them will be pre-installed in the machine, and there is no need to buy additional cassettes, and the design is different.

So at that time, Zhang Benxiong signed a handheld agency contract with Zhiduoxing Company. Anyway, the contract between Wanxin and Nintendo has not been signed yet, and they are discussing the final details, so it is not considered a breach of contract.

Those who start a company naturally hope to earn more money, and whoever offers the right price will naturally cooperate with them. Nintendo is good, but the conditions are too harsh, and the islanders always look proud, which makes all the backbone of Wanxin Company very unhappy.

Nintendo's current focus of work is not with them, but busy with the research and development of new game consoles. It is said that they are cooperating with Souni to develop a new generation of game consoles that support CD-ROM, so that the capacity is larger and the game's The picture can also be more exciting, and even 3D games can be launched.

Nintendo's lack of attention made Wanxin Company make two-handed preparations, and Zhiduoxing Company was their backup, and they could become regulars at any time.

After a while, the fax was printed out. Zhang Yang looked at the price list, and it seemed that there was not much difference, and the price in Pengcheng in China was not too high. Taking into account taxes and other aspects, the price in Pengcheng was actually cheaper.

Fortunately, what he wants to use is only the most basic 4-color screen. If it is more advanced, the domestic technology will really fail. It has just started to dabble this year, while foreign countries already have mature production technology.

He told Sun Tengfei to contact a manufacturer in Pengcheng, discuss the price, and order a batch of 2.8-inch screens, so that the other party can ship them as soon as possible.

It is estimated that when the other party delivers the goods and their handheld testing is over, they can be officially mass-produced.

...

The time has come to the end of May. This time, the chief engineers of the three factories of Zhiduoxing Company brought their people together to Ice City to watch the test of the new machine together.

Zhang Yang sat in the office, listening to the sound of games coming from around him. Well, this one's supposed to be Super Tetris, that one's a warehouse hauler, and my dad's game is Gluttony.

Everyone has to test the game console in person before they can produce it with confidence. Now they are all in the experiment, and no one looks up. And the color of the handheld in everyone's hand is different.

Nintendo's handheld currently has a small disadvantage, that is, it only has a gray shell,

Other colors will not be launched until 1993.

As a matter of fact, the most popular Nintendo handhelds in the previous life were the ones with transparent shells, where the electronic components inside could be seen. Many young people think this is the coolest and has a sense of technology.

However, each of Nintendo's cartridges has a different color. They do this to distinguish it from the color of the cartridge, and at the same time let senior players know what game the other party is playing just by looking at the color.

And Zhiduoxing's handheld is not necessary, all their games are already installed in it, there is no card, so different colors are simply to meet the different requirements of consumers for colors.

An hour later, those people raised their heads and handed over the game consoles to the people next to them to continue playing, and they all looked happy.

"This finished product is good, and the game inside is quite fun, especially the level title, which looks very interesting." Someone commented.

"Mr. Zhang, why don't we use color screens? I see that foreign handhelds already have color screens, but ours is still gray, and some people call it black and white screens. It's like everyone else is making color TVs, and we just started. Can black-and-white TVs be sold well?" Someone raised doubts.

"Yeah, why do you use so many colors for this case? I think black is good. If it is transparent, you can see the circuit board inside. Also, this plastic case is not strong. If you accidentally drop it, it may break. , and even shattered."

Zhang Weiguang didn't say a word, but looked at his son, you kid will explain.

Zhang Yang stood up: "Everyone, I know everyone has questions, so let me explain. The color screen is of course better, but you have overlooked a problem. This is not for playing with a power cord, but for AA batteries. .”

"The color screen technology is immature, consumes a lot of power, and costs are high. The cost problem will affect our final selling price. If this small one sells for seven or eight hundred yuan, how many people in China do you think will buy it? Available If the gray screen is removed, the cost will be much lower. There are many factories in the mainland that produce gray screens, and we can sell them very cheaply.”

"Another point is that the color screen consumes too much power. Foreign handheld products have exposed this shortcoming. Although the power of the battery is increasing and the technology of the color screen is also improving, it still cannot be completely solved. If this is used Four batteries, but can only play for three hours, sometimes a game is about to be cleared, and the battery suddenly runs out, do you think the players will be very angry, and will they want to smash the game console?"

"And the technology of the gray screen is very mature, and it is not easy to break. Our game console has been tested and can be played continuously for more than 20 hours. If it is stopped in the middle, the playing time will be longer. This time is enough to make some obsessed If the players are satisfied, even if they are masters, they may pass the level."

"Level titles are not only interesting, but also make some players compete. I am a master of cubes, but you are only a master of cubes, so it proves that you are not as good at playing as I am."

"As for the color of this shell, it is also to give consumers more choices. Bright colors are actually more attractive to others. I bought such an expensive game console, and of course I hope other friends can see it and make them envious .”

"And the size of the whole machine can be held by both children and adults, and it can also be put in a school bag or even put in a pocket. As for breaking it, it has nothing to do with us, and such an expensive game machine, you can get it They will be taken care of carefully, how many will fall?"

"Finally, let's talk about the retail price. I plan to set the price of this Smart Star Z, just like our video game console, at 300 RMB. We will continue to make small profits but sell more."
