Super Tycoon

Zhang Weiguang couldn't believe the ten yuan handheld. Ten dollars, you can't even buy a screen, how can you make a game console?

Is it parallel imports from other channels?

Zhang Yang had a vague guess in his heart. He advised his father not to worry. Judging from the price, the other party's handheld would not be very fun.

The next morning, the father and son came to the office in Bingcheng, and the people who had been sent out to buy various handhelds came back quickly, bringing back a large schoolbag and dumping it on the table.

"so much?!"

Zhang Weiguang was taken aback. They had investigated the market before making handhelds, and obviously there were very few handhelds on the market.

Zhang Yang looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Dad, look carefully. Although these can be said to be handheld game consoles, most of them are not handheld electronic game consoles."

Not a video game console? Are there any without electricity?

Zhang Yang picked up one of them, and the screen was much larger than their 2.8 inches, at least 3.5, or even larger. There is some water in it, shake it from side to side, and you can see the bubbles moving.

Two black plastic rods are fixed in two places below, and there are some scattered colored circles beside them. The handheld only has two buttons. When you press them, you can see some bubbles blowing out of the screen, blowing up small circles, some of which can be put on the plastic rod.

"Dad, do you understand? This is a ring game. Plastic shell, plastic screen, water inside, plastic ring and rod, plus two small airbags, how much do you think the cost will be?" high?"

Zhang Weiguang made a rough calculation in his mind, and the cost is about five yuan, so it's no wonder that he can sell it for ten yuan. Who made this, such a handheld game console? Purely to fool children!

"Scared me, I thought other people's skills were so powerful, so this is the thing." Zhang Weiguang sat back on the chair.

"Look at this again. This one uses two AA batteries and has a backlight. When you press the button, the ball at the bottom will bounce up and then come down along a different path. This operation is too accidental. Playable Bad sex."

"And this one, it's a handheld game console, isn't it a Huarong Road?"

"Looking at this, it's obviously a jigsaw puzzle, and I don't think it can be achieved at a cost of five yuan."

"This is a balance game. You need to shake it left and right to let the ball move in it and get out of the maze. After playing it once, you remember it. Who would want to play it a second time?"

Zhang Yang kept commenting on the handhelds he bought. Strictly speaking, these can be regarded as handheld game consoles, but they don’t have much playability. Older children won’t like them, so the impact on the market Not big.

These are not electronic game machines, and they do have a certain market. The technical barriers are low, the cost is low, the selling price is low, and the natural profit is also low.

If Zhiduoxing Z will be defeated by these game consoles, it can only prove that Zhiduoxing Z is a failure.

But when he saw the back, Zhang Yang's face became a little dignified.

Nintendo's GB, Sega's, Atari's LY, these are real digital game consoles, of which only GB has a gray screen, and the others are color screens.

When developing the handheld, no one would have thought that the gray screen would beat the color screen. There are two key factors. One is the fun of the game. After Nintendo bought the copyright of Tetris, it won over a large number of fans in a short period of time.

Another one is power consumption. Among them, only Nintendo can be used for more than eight hours, and none of the others can be used for more than four hours, and some people even shut down after playing for more than two hours.

If you buy this expensive handheld, you must like to play games. But if you can only play for two or three hours at a time, and the battery runs out before you clear the level, can you have fun?

At the beginning of the design, the game designer only considered whether the game is fun and whether it can run on the handheld, and other things do not need to be considered.

And game console designers have to consider the hardware configuration, such as the size of memory, CPU speed, screen size, whether the color is attractive and so on.

Many game console designers considered at the time that no one would play game consoles for a long time every day, they could play other games, just play for a while before going to bed every day, so two or three hours is not a big problem, you Just change the battery every day.

But when the game console is used for too short a time and the playability of the game is also reduced, so many people will no longer like it. Even if some games have a cache and can be closed, players don't like it.

It feels good today, but the operation is slippery. It seems that the customs clearance is about to be completed, and the machine is out of power. After changing the battery and continuing to play, the feel is gone, and the character is dead, how can I feel better?

In contrast, the use time of Zhiduoxing Z is longer, because the power consumption of one less interface is used, the cheapest four-color gray screen is used, and the screen size is only 2.8. In addition, the battery technology has also made some progress. Definitely more attractive.

There are also some handheld electronic game consoles on the table that Zhang Yang has no impression of. The appearance design is very similar to that of Zhiduoxing Z. You don’t need to insert a cassette, you can play directly, and there are only one or two games in it.

Obviously, these are bootlegs. Borrowed the designs of two handheld devices from Zhiduoxing and Nintendo, and also stole games from other companies.

"Dad, these are the ones we really need to care about. But look at their price, they are also 300 yuan. This is just trying to fool consumers."

When many people bought it, they bought it just because it looked like it, not knowing that there were only one or two games in it, which was different from what they thought.

But there is no quality problem when you buy it back, and the mall will never replace it for you, so you can only accept the loss. At least there is a game in it, let's talk about it after playing it.

"Son, should we increase the amount of advertisements? It's too late for the central station to buy, but the local stations or newspapers are fine. Before, the agents were asked to do a page of advertisements in the provincial newspapers, isn't it too little? ?”

Zhang Weiguang now also very much recognizes the benefits of advertising. If they hadn't advertised on CCTV, they wanted to quickly promote the country and occupy the market. I don't know how much effort they would have to spend, and the effect might still be poor.

"Yes, talk to the agents and ask them to advertise in provincial newspapers for another week. We will bear half of the advertising fee. We don't even need a deposit for this product, and they have to pay a little bit."

"Also, remind them to thoroughly investigate counterfeit and shoddy products in their agency area. If our fake products appear in someone's agency area, don't blame the company for deducting their money!"

Handheld phones are flooding, which is much earlier than Zhang Yang's memory in his previous life. Then China's market can also explode earlier, and perhaps it won't be long before Zhiduoxing can enter the attention of other big game console manufacturing companies!
