Chapter eight hundred and eighty third handheld and video game fusion

The research and development of G4MINI was put on the agenda, but Sun Tengfei did not think about giving up the research and development of follow-up video game consoles. Even though Duan Yongping has said that the company will focus on developing smart TVs in the future, just as smart phones will replace handhelds, smart TVs will also replace video game consoles.

Sun Tengfei thought of a new direction. Since the current game controllers can be equipped with LCD screens, and the performance of smartphones is also improving rapidly, why can’t they launch a product that can be used as a handheld or a TV game console? Woolen cloth?

Thinking of this, he went to find Zhao Mingsheng. Prepare to have a good discussion with the other party, and report to the president and chairman if feasible.

Zhao Mingsheng is not much younger than Duan Yongping. Although he is only the vice president of the company and is mainly responsible for hardware technology and research and development, he was also sent by Zhang Yang to serve as the director and vice president of Changchun Caijing.

Just came back from a meeting in Changchun today, and saw Sun Tengfei knocking on the door.

"Mr. Sun, do you know that I brought something good from Changchun, try my Changbai camellia. It's not tea, it's some Chinese herbal tea. It tastes good."

As soon as Zhao Mingsheng waved, his secretary ran in and started making tea.

"Yeah, I'm not here for some tea."

Sun Tengfei waited for Secretary Zhao Mingsheng to go out, and then said again: "Mr. Zhao, how is the development of smart TV?"

"It's okay. The previous product chairman was not satisfied. We didn't sell the plan to Wan Yan. The new generation is estimated to be successfully developed in the second half of the year, and it will be launched on the market at the beginning of next year at the latest, or it may be in the fourth quarter of this year."

"What's the matter, are you in charge of this project?"

Zhao Mingsheng frowned. He planned to hand over this project to his assistant. My assistant is watching the product development all the time, and I also do market research and so on by myself.

Duan Yongping's assistant can be the president of the subsidiary, and his assistant is not bad. It's impossible to become the president of a subsidiary in one step, but it's okay to be a product director, right?

This year, some executives of the company will face reelection. Zhao Mingsheng himself has no hope of being promoted. In a few years, he should retire, but he always wants his followers to have a good position.

Just like the chairman's assistant Xiao Wang, didn't he say he was going to be the assistant president? Assistant to the chairman, although the position is very important, but it is only an assistant after all.

As for the assistant president, he also carries the word assistant, but his status is equivalent to that of a vice president, but he is only ranked the lowest.

"Mr. Zhao, I know that you are going to recommend your assistant as the project director. I didn't think about competing. I just want to ask if you are free. I want to develop a new product, a game console."

"Game console? The development of G4MINI is already on the agenda, and I have also arranged a team. The same is true for the development of Z6S, which will be released by the end of next year."

"I didn't discuss it before. Our generation of game products will be sold until 2020. What else do you need to develop?"

The current hardware technology is advancing rapidly, and for many games, such high hardware performance is not required, and everyone is after all playing games.

Look at Nintendo's WII, its performance is so shoddy, isn't it because of the somatosensory games that it sells well?

Even if the future hardware improves faster than they imagined, the software technology must keep up.

If you want to develop new models, you have to wait until the launch of these two planned new models, right?

"Mr. Zhao, I'm not talking about G4MINI and Z6S, but the combination of two products into one product. You see, our current handheld and TV game consoles are linked, and the games on the handheld can be played on the TV game console. Some video game console games can also be played on the handheld.”

"But after all, the performance of handhelds is not as good as that of TV game consoles. Many popular games cannot be played on handhelds. Now that hardware technology is constantly improving, is it possible that the performance of handhelds in the future will be comparable to that of video game consoles?" Is the performance of the mainframe similar?"

"For example, it can be used as a handheld, or connected to a TV, or a computer screen can be used as a game console. Do you think it is feasible?"

Zhao Mingsheng frowned: "Aren't you similar to Sega's MD back then? That product failed, and it failed miserably, almost bankrupting Sega."

"Mr. Zhao, isn't our VR glasses very similar to the original Nintendo VB? Now it's a success, and it's an unprecedented success. It's the fastest record for us to reach 100 million units."

"At present, it is absolutely no problem for the G4 series to exceed 200 million units, and it may even be higher. But according to our calculations, the game console market is shrinking, and the market is being compressed by other electronic devices."

"The same is true for handhelds. We all know that they will be replaced by smartphones. But smartphones must also take into account the functions of mobile phones. On a product of the same size, communication electronic components must be arranged, so the real performance will not be better than handhelds. powerful."

"However, the update speed of smartphones is faster, which is not comparable to that of handhelds. We are limited by the development platform, and it is impossible to launch new models every quarter, or one a year."

"But we try to make the game console as small as possible, so it shouldn't be a problem, right? I heard that Chaowei Yingweida has started to promote the 14NM process, and Huaxin International has also launched this kind of production line, so the circuit board of the same size, Can the performance be improved several times?"

"And each company is still developing a higher technology process, which is said to be 7NM. Will it continue to improve at that time? If we use the 7NM process to produce chips, can we guarantee that the performance on such a large device is comparable to Today's video game consoles are about the same?"

"I don't ask for much better performance than the current video game consoles, but the portability has increased. It can be used as a handheld or a video game console. Do you think there will be a market for it?"

Zhao Mingsheng was stunned, he picked up the teacup and drank two sips of tea, as if he had really messed up.

"Mr. Sun, I really haven't thought about your idea before. In this way, you wait for me for a few days, and I will ask someone to do a theoretical derivation. If the 7NM production process can meet the requirements in theory, then start research and development. "

"The improvement speed of this process will not become faster, so if you say that 7NM cannot be achieved, I will definitely not support you. If you can, I will go to the president with you, and talk to the chairman."

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it is the last board meeting of Zhi Duoxing years ago, and then the annual meeting, the holiday.

At this board meeting, Sun Tengfei proposed a new product idea, which is a two-in-one product of a handheld and a video game console.

Listening to this idea, Zhang Yang lamented that he did not choose the wrong person. This is the Nintendo Switch game console of the previous life, the product that once again brought Nintendo back to its peak.

"I agree with this product development proposal. Now let me talk about the company's future personnel adjustments."
