Super Tycoon

After a while, Zhao Mingsheng, vice president of Zhiduoxing Group, entered Zhang Yang's office, holding a box in his hand at the same time.

"President, the samples have already been made, and the final test is being done. There is only one problem, the cost cannot be reduced."

Zhao Mingsheng opened the box while talking, and carefully took out a square LCD screen about 6 inches from the inside, and a power transformer the size of a fist, which can also be used as a battery block.

Secretary Xiao Wang has already bumped to the other side of the sofa, brought a GMINI over, and put it on Zhang Yang's desk.

Zhao Mingsheng skillfully connected the wires, and then put a KOF98 CD into it.

Zhang Yang took the handle from Zhao Mingsheng, looked at the startup screen, and asked at the same time, "How much are the costs? Have you evaluated the market? How many sales can there be?"

"The cost of this screen is more than one hundred and fifty dollars, and the selling price must be at least two hundred dollars to ensure that there will be no loss."

"The cost of this battery block is more than one hundred dollars, and the price must be guaranteed to be more than one hundred and fifty dollars."

After Zhao Mingsheng finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Yang cautiously. The price of this peripheral is too expensive, and the screen exceeds that of the game console, but he really can't continue to lower the price. This has already cost a lot of money to develop. It is also necessary to purchase LCD screens from abroad, because China does not have the ability to produce such a large screen.

The technology of the battery block is not bad in China. After finding cooperation with several research institutes, it was made, but the cost is still high.

It was so expensive, he really didn't have the confidence to sell too many.

Zhang Yang glanced at Zhao Mingsheng: "What about the sales estimate?"

Sun Tengfei took over the conversation: "President, sales estimates are made by the marketing and sales department. After our calculations, these two peripherals can have a certain amount of sales in island countries, North America and other developed regions. Can't sell it."

"Besides, this is developed for MINI, and Zhiduoxing G cannot be used. Therefore, based on one-tenth of the household ownership of MINI, one million sales can be guaranteed, and it is enough to ensure that these two products will not lose money."

There is only one million sales, which makes Zhang Yang very dissatisfied.

"These two products are combined with MINI, which is a 32-bit portable game console. Now the portable handheld only has 16 bits, and the screen is smaller than this. Are you sure you did your calculations correctly?"

"President, this battery block can only be used for two to three hours, depending on the brightness of the screen and the number of connected handles. Such a short time, the portability is not high, except for some people who go out for picnics, no one will buy this , The TV screen is so big, it’s more fun to play.”

Sun Tengfei didn't say a word. In Europe and America, many people often travel long distances, so handheld phones are selling well, and they can pass the boring time.

However, although the MINI is one-third smaller than the Zhiduoxing G, it is still very large and inconvenient to carry. It's okay to drive, but it's too troublesome to take a train or plane.

"Does this have the function of connecting to a car charger?"

"have."

"That's fine. The number of family cars in Europe and the United States is very high, and there will be many families with good money to buy them. Tengfei, Lao Zhao, hurry up and test these two products. I hope they can be launched on the market on New Year's Day. "

The game is loaded, and Zhang Yang is playing KOF skillfully. Although the screen is small, it is clear and bright enough. The sound is a bit poor, but you can connect headphones, so it is much clearer.

After playing a few rounds, Zhang Yang put down the handle: "If this is connected to four handles, how long can the battery block last?"

"If there are four controllers and the brightest screen, then more than an hour is fine, but not one and a half hours." Zhao Mingsheng quickly gave the answer.

It's true that the continuity has deteriorated a lot, but there is no way around it.

At this time, the battery technology and other hardware technologies are far inferior to those before his rebirth. The energy consumption of electronic components is high, and the battery power is low.

It is not easy to do this.

Of course, it is not impossible to continue to improve, but the size will become bigger and the cost will be higher. At the current price, not many people will buy it. If it is bigger and the price is higher, fewer people will buy it, and the cost will not be recovered.

"What about connecting the dance mat?"

"Ah? President, this screen is so small, I'm afraid you can't see it clearly when it's connected to a dance mat?" Zhao Mingsheng was stunned for a moment, this one hasn't been tested.

Zhang Yang put a water glass in front of the screen: "See, is it enlarged? If a magnifying glass is placed in front of the screen, will the screen be doubled in size? How much does this magnifying glass cost?"

"You didn't think of the method of use, but it doesn't mean others can't think of it. Do a test, and it should be stated in the instruction manual."

Such seemingly useless inventions like magnifying glass for screens have actually existed in island countries for a long time, and naturally they didn't sell very well, but they were useless in the right place.

At least this can be used together with the dance mat and this portable LCD screen.

"Okay, I'll arrange someone to do the test." Zhao Mingsheng agreed, thought for a while and then asked, "President, there is a domestic company that makes LCD panels, and it has obtained related technologies from island countries and North American companies. In LCD panel technology On the other hand, the island countries are the absolute leaders, and South Korea, Taiwan and North America are in the second place."

"What we do in China is all small screens, and there is a big gap in big screens. Whether we want to invest in this company, they are currently short of funds."

Zhang Yang's expression changed: "Are they sure that their technology is currently top-notch? Isn't it the technology eliminated by the island country?"

This kind of thing is very common, because the technology is backward, so many technologies eliminated by others are taken over by Huaxia as treasures, such as automobile manufacturing, machine tools, precision instruments, etc. Before Zhang Yang was reborn, the technology was still at a backward stage.

"The news we got is that this technology is considered top-notch, but the raw materials and accessories need to be imported from the island market, so the right to speak is still in the hands of others."

If the price of raw materials increases, your production cost will increase, and you will not be able to open up the market with low prices. From this point of view, Huaxia's joint venture has become a foundry.

"We refine raw materials by ourselves and do research and development of liquid crystal technology by ourselves. How much money do we need to invest?"

Zhao Mingsheng swallowed and spit: "President, this is definitely not a small sum. The initial capital needs to be one billion US dollars, and it must be a loss in the first few years. There may be a lot of additional investment in the future. This is a capital-intensive, technology-intensive industry."

Zhang Yang smacked his lips. In the past two years, the money has been hard to come by. The risk is really too high to do it yourself. Why don't you find someone to cooperate with you?
