Chapter 218 The Thirty-two Machine Wars Begin

? Zhang Yang has finished his military training and started to attend classes. He also has time to go to the company to deal with some things. 35xs

The popularity of domestic learning machines continues to rise. Many companies have joined the battlefield for learning machines connected to TVs and handheld learning machines, but the best-selling company is Zhiduoxing.

The second-generation product of the Chinese-English computer learning machine was launched. In fact, the main reason is that the keyboard has been upgraded to make the keyboard less prone to damage, and the waterproof function has also been improved.

The learning software inside has added some other functions, such as a notepad with simple text editing, a calculator with enhanced functions, etc. These software are actually developed for Wenquxing, but they are just launched on this first.

Of course, in the learning cassette, there is also a leisure and puzzle section, which contains small games such as Super Tetris, so that many children can play games without buying game cassettes.

A product has various functions, Zhang Yang and the others don’t care whether the children are using it for learning or playing games. Children who love to learn will definitely learn something with this.

Those who don't like to learn, even if this game cartridge is not compatible, they will borrow a game console to play.

In order to distinguish Zhiduoxing's Chinese and English computer learning machine from others, Duan Yongping not only worked hard on the software, but also made another innovation. This learning machine can be connected to a mouse.

The previous learning machines were either controlled by a keyboard or by a handle. The developed software deliberately bypasses the function of mouse operation.

However, after the mouse is added, the game controller they come with is also reduced to one. If you want to play with two people, then you can buy another one yourself.

This small change made the sales of Zhiduoxing’s 486-2 Chinese-English computer learning machine rise again. The price was a little higher than other learning machines, but it sold better.

The market share just fell below 80%, and it rose to 86% again.

At present, there are only a few learning machine brands that can compete with Zhiduoxing. The strongest one is called Yuxing. This is a very powerful company that can develop software and hardware.

"How is the contact with Zhu Weisha? Does he agree to our terms?" Zhang Yang asked.

"Mr. Zhang, I failed to handle this matter. Zhu Weisha refused. He asked for too many shares, 30%."

Zhang Yang once asked Duan Yongping to talk to the other party, wanting to buy the other party's Yuxing company, but the other party's boss Zhu Weisha is also an ambitious person.

Zhu Weisha bluntly said that the learning machine was originally a product developed abroad, but it failed to become popular because of reasons such as high price and software not suitable for the Chinese market.

A few years ago, it was popular in Baodao for a while, but it quickly disappeared. The main reason is that the software failed to keep up.

Experts know that the so-called computer learning machine uses the CPU of an 8-bit game console. The hardware technology is not high, and the gap is only in the software and brand.

The software development of Yuxing Company is very fast, and there are many merits. What's more, it's not that their products can't be sold, so why should they sell the company to Zhiduoxing?

In Zhang Yang's previous life, Zhu Weisha was also quite a figure in China's IT industry. There used to be no more than five companies in China that could do both hardware and software, and Yuxing was among them.

In addition to learning machines, Yuxing's products are vcds. From game vcds to portable vcds, they don't make a lot of money, but they definitely don't make a lot of money.

Zhang Yang is very interested in Zhu Weisha. He originally thought of merging the other company, giving him some shares, and letting him be responsible for learning software development, while Li Junsheng focused on game development.

Since the other party refused, Zhang Yang didn't mention it again. It is good to have a competitor, so that the people in the company will not be so proud and complacent,

Lest they think that the company has no competitors.

"Okay, I know about this. The second generation of learning machines and Wenquxing are selling well. These products are completed under your leadership. I am very satisfied with your work."

"I told you about some problems before, hurry up and improve them. The research and development direction of the second generation of Wenquxing has also been set, and we will try to launch it early next year."

Jinyuanjian and other companies are also developing handheld learning machines, and in fact there are companies in Baodao that are also developing, and they have even been listed in China.

It is necessary to ensure that the products of Zhiduoxing are better than those of other companies in terms of technology and user experience, in order to guarantee market share. For this product, Zhang Yang no longer wants to use low prices as his main competitor.

Price competition is often useful, but it also loses its own interests. If it can sell at a high price and guarantee a high profit margin, which company is willing to compete at a low price?

When Zhiduoxing first released the game console, it had no brand awareness, no related game cartridges, and no ability to develop games, so it could only expand the market at a low price.

Now that the sales of the old Zhiduoxing game consoles have declined significantly, Zhang Yang doesn't pay much attention to them. Anyway, I don’t earn much at all, so it’s better to put more energy into more profitable products, such as Zhiduo Xingg.

Zhiduoxing g is a product that Zhang Yang attaches great importance to. It seems to have succeeded so far, exceeding their target expectations, but it is not too successful in the domestic market.

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry. The second generation of Wenquxing is already under development. I've been keeping an eye on the progress. There will be no problems. The software and hardware are upgraded simultaneously to ensure that our functions are the most powerful."

"When the second generation is launched, will the price of the first generation be reduced?"

Duan Yongping is also hesitating. If the price of the first-generation product is reduced for promotion, it will definitely affect the sales of the second-generation product. However, if the price is not lowered, then the quantity of goods on the market must be strictly controlled. If one is not careful, it may lead to out-of-stock in some areas, giving other brands an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Let's reduce the price. When the time comes, we will increase the promotion of the functions of the second-generation product. We will use the first-generation product to compete with other products. The second-generation product will raise the level and establish a brand image."

"The repeater project, did you find someone to start it?"

"It has already started to be done, but there are several technical difficulties stuck, and there is a lack of equipment for the production of small tape recorders in the mainland. This must be imported, and it is not easy to buy."

"It's okay, take your time. Do a good job of the immediate work first, and that can be launched in two years. The company keeps launching new products every year, always surprising consumers."

After Duan Yongping nodded, he handed another document to Zhang Yang, "Mr. Zhang, this is a document from Bingcheng Zhiduoxing. It will be listed in these two months, and it has been announced."

"It's about to go on the market? This is a good thing. Then let the market test, whose product is better."

Zhang Yang looked at the document, the war of 32-bit game consoles finally started!
