Super Tycoon

Satoshi Matsutajiri hung up the phone, and immediately arranged for his subordinates to help contact the Sony Corporation in the island country. The big boss had arranged a task, and he had to do it well.

Although he didn't quite understand why Zhang Yang asked him to contact this company to buy a license for vibration technology, he still carried out the order seriously.

The information was soon found out. Sony Corporation, an electronic technology company in the island country, has several world-leading patented technologies, including vibration sensing technology.

Matsuda Jiri took a look at this technology and understood why Zhang Yang asked him to purchase a patent license, and even asked whether he could buy out the technology, or even hold the company.

At the same time, Sun Yansheng of Wanyan Company is also in the United States to help contact a software company called Ziyu to see if he can become a shareholder or even hold a controlling stake in this company. At the very least, he must obtain the relevant software technology authorization from the other party.

And Zhang Yang himself appeared at Beihe's factory.

"Mr. Zhang, what are you talking about developing? A handle? What can be developed?" Beihe's factory director looked puzzled.

The chief engineer next to him also didn't understand. Isn't the handle like that? It's nothing more than adding a few buttons, or replacing the arrow keys with a joystick. This can be done at any time. What research and development is needed?

"First of all, the shape of our current handle needs to be adjusted so that it is more convenient to hold and not easy to release."

"Secondly, increase the number of buttons. With the increase of our game development, the ordinary four buttons are no longer enough. And some people like to use the arrow keys, and some people like to use the joystick, so our new handles not only have the arrow keys , there must also be a joystick, giving players one more choice.”

"One more point, you look at the thickness of the handle, the front is completely blank, why can't you add some buttons, you can press with your index finger? Except for the thumb, the index finger is the most flexible finger of ordinary people. And when playing shooting games , using the index finger is more experiential, as if you are actually pulling the trigger.”

"The last and most important point is that we will add a vibration pack to the handle. This is a vibration technology. Have you ever seen the vibration of a pager?"

"The vibration principle of ours is different from that of pagers, but there are similarities. And in some games, you can have a better experience. For example, normal people know that when the trigger is pulled, the pistol will have recoil. Of course, we can't show it , the vibration pack technology can be used, so it can vibrate at the same time, like recoil."

"Also, when playing some fighting games, the handle will vibrate when you get hit. The operation is more difficult, but the experience is better and more real."

"I have sent people to buy the technology of the vibration pack. What you have to do is to add the joystick, index finger buttons, etc. to the new handle. I request that this handle be launched on the market by the end of this year."

When Zhang Yang's request was made out, Beihe's factory director was taken aback for a moment: "Mr. Zhang, what do you mean, this is not designed for the new game console? We want to produce game controllers separately?"

Didn't Zhiduoxing outsource the game controllers to other small factories before, and now they have to produce them themselves?

Then the production capacity of the factory will be insufficient, and at the same time, the factory does not have skilled workers to produce this, and the equipment must be adjusted, or even a new production line will be introduced, which will increase a lot of costs.

Let’s talk about a game controller, how much money can you make? This is not in line with the development strategy Mr. Zhang set for the company before. Doesn't the company not produce low-margin products?

"Yes, the game controller is produced separately, and it is also provided for our Zhiduoxing G. The old game controller may be discontinued in the near future."

"If you don't want to do this task, you can hand it over to other factories."

"Yes, I am willing!" Beihe's factory manager shouted loudly.

How could he refuse the job arranged by Mr. Zhang? And in the future, all the handles of Zhiduoxing G will be produced by him. Although the increase in output value may not be much, it can highlight the difference between their status and other factories.

There used to be a research and development center here.

It mainly develops learning machine products such as Wenquxing, and now with the handle of the game console, its status will be improved again.

Then a few years later, when the company wants to promote the vice president from several factory directors, he is very likely to stand out. How can he miss this opportunity?

"Will it affect the development of the second generation of Wenquxing?"

"No, no. We have set up a research and development laboratory for learning machines alone, and we have never let go of technical research on game machines. We can handle this task. Before the end of the year, no, before the National Day It will be done!"

"Are you issuing a military order with me?" Zhang Yang looked at the other party.

"Yes, if it cannot be completed, I will resign!"

"Okay. Then I will leave it to you. But let me make it clear that if you delay other things, you will also be responsible. Go back to my dad and tell him that we need to increase some research and development funds and ask him to allocate it."

"Thank you Mr. Zhang." The factory director of Beihe smiled happily.

With the design provided by Zhang Yang, they will soon be able to start research and development. Only some internal technical and architectural solutions are the most cumbersome. It is not an easy task to add more electronic components, enter new programs, and control costs in a small handle.

A week later, while the research and development was still going on here, Duan Yongping came and brought several foreign technicians with him.

There are two technicians from Sony Corp. in the island country, who are responsible for the technical guidance of the vibration pack. Tomo Matsutajiri failed to let Zhi Duoxing take a stake in Sony Corporation, but he bought the patent license, and it was a one-time buyout fee, which cost 100 million yen.

At the same time, Zhang Yang also got the news that Sony has licensed this technology to Nintendo and signed an exclusive agreement.

However, there is a loophole in the agreement, that is, they adjusted the vibration pack technology a little bit and renamed it, so re-authorizing it to Zhiduoxing Company will not violate the contract.

One hundred million yen is enough for Sony to make such a choice.

There are also two software experts from the United States, who were dug from the Immersion Company in the United States. He wanted to take a stake in this company, but he failed, but he dug out the two backbones of the company.

These two people are responsible for controlling the software development. At the same time, they also mastered some new algorithms of the company, and they are confident that they can make software that meets the requirements of Zhiduoxing Company, and will not infringe the copyright, which also slows down the software development process of the company.

Immersion, meanwhile, was also serving Nintendo at this time, making new gamepads.

Although he failed to achieve the best results, Zhang Yang can accept this. He believes that the company's new controller will be available soon.
