Super Tycoon

"You said Suuni has made a plan to develop PSone internally? Didn't you find out the specifics? It doesn't matter, it's already very good."

Zhang Yang hung up Tomo Matsudajiri's phone. It seems that Tomo Matsudajiri should have "friends" on Suuni's side. The island country's business competition likes to use this method.

The PSone in the previous life also brought Suony a lot of money, which greatly boosted the sales of the PS series, and helped the first generation of PS continue the five-year sales cycle. starter

At the same time, it also allowed Souni to explore the characteristics of portable game consoles, which provided a good foundation for them to launch PSP in the future.

But others don't know what this PSone is, but Zhang Yang knows it very clearly. Isn't it similar to Zhiduoxing GMINI, with some new peripherals added.

This concept is similar to Sega's ND. Sega's ND focuses on portable handhelds, but it can actually be used as a home console, but the performance of the handheld is relatively weak, and home consoles are lagging behind, so it is a big loss. Pen.

This kind of portability did give many players some surprises, and it also allowed Souni's technology to get more recognition. That being the case, let everyone know that the idea of ​​turning this kind of home console into a portable game console was first made by Zhi Duoxing!

Zhang Yang made a phone call and called Zhao Mingsheng, the vice president in charge of R\u0026D.

"President, do you have any new tasks?" Zhao Mingsheng asked with a smile after sitting down. Usually it's okay, the president won't ask him to chat.

"Hmm. How is the Z3 testing going? When will it be launched?" This is the focus of this year's work.

"The test results are good, but the cost cannot be reduced. I have discussed it with Lao Qian many times, and I have also approached Director Kurishenko, but the cost is still high."

"What is the approximate selling price to protect the capital?" Zhang Yang asked.

"I also reported it to Mr. Sun. Their calculation result is that the selling price is 100 US dollars to protect the capital. However, if the new version of Pokemon is sold separately, the cost can be reduced by 10 US dollars."

"Okay, let's plan to launch it to the market after this year's E3 game show. The retail price is set at $149, 20,000 yen."

This price should be similar to GBC, and it also guarantees sufficient profits. The color screen will definitely be more popular. Although other performances have not improved significantly, the color screen alone is enough to catch the attention of consumers.

Especially the first color-screen handheld that can play stably for more than 20 hours, isn't that enough?

"President, but at this price, I'm afraid it won't be sold in China. Even if we can make it cheaper in China, it will cost more than 800 yuan. How many people are willing to buy it?" ァ新ヤ~⑧~1~中文网ωωω.χ~⒏~1zщ.còм

The price of the previous handheld was only around 300 yuan, which made many people criticize the price as too high. Now the price is more than doubled directly, can domestic consumers accept it?

"It doesn't matter, they are reluctant to let it go, and will continue to buy our Z2. The target market of this Z3 is developed countries. Our cost is here, and it is impossible to sell at a discount."

"Remember to inform Lao Qian that the production of Z3 will start, and the production capacity of Z2 will be adjusted, so as not to cause a backlog of products by then."

After the appearance of the color screen, fewer people will definitely buy the ordinary gray screen, and some people will sell second-hand Z2. Fortunately, the game card is still backward compatible, which will not lead to a sharp decline in Z2's game card sales.

Moreover, the game cards of the Z2 are not colored, so the sales of new game cards will not be affected too much.

"clear."

Zhang Yang nodded and continued: "Sunny also wants to enter the arcade market now, and is currently developing a new game console. You don't have to pay too much attention to this, we just need to do our own thing."

"I have two requests for you. The first one is to try to develop an external display. Have you ever seen a laptop? It's just that kind of LCD screen. It doesn't need to be too big, just within ten inches."

"Second, there must be an external power supply. Cars can have batteries, and handheld games can use batteries. Then such a large portable game console must also have a portable power supply. Of course, it can also be connected to a car charger."

"In our country, the number of cars is very low, and many of them are old models, and the batteries are not very good. But in developed countries, their car penetration rate is very high, and the battery performance is better."

"Many foreign people like long-distance self-driving travel, like to go camping and picnics. At this time, there is a fun game console, which should have a certain sales volume."

"Thirdly, the contract with Sami Company will be signed soon. At that time, the two parties will cooperate to develop new arcade machines. We must humbly learn from each other's strengths and not be arrogant."

Zhao Mingsheng didn't say anything, but actually looked down on Sami Company in his heart, which was shared by many executives in the company. Is there anything worth paying attention to for a company that was defeated by Zhi Duoxing and held a controlling stake?

"Old Zhao, do you know why I talked to Sami at the beginning, as long as 51% of the shares? Because there are too many, the other party will not agree, they will not accept absolute control, and they are not powerless."

"But I am used to holding the company in my own hands. I have some good ideas, but I don't want to get half of the money. So I hope that in the next step, we will use technology to invest in shares and dilute the original shareholders of Sami. shares."

Of course, Zhang Yang will also buy Sami's shares in the market, and slowly nibble away at the other party's shares until he becomes absolutely controlling, that is, holds more than two-thirds of the shares.

Any decision now needs to be discussed with Sami's shareholders. When you have an absolute controlling stake, you can say what you say, and no one else has the right to object.

"President, we still need to develop a new arcade machine. Do we want to add 3D function?"

"Of course in the future, but now, we can make some other changes first. Do you know what Sami's most famous game machine is? It's a pinball machine, which has a certain gambling nature."

"And other companies also have shooting machines, racing machines, etc. This is the future. What we have to do is to develop racing arcade machines, shooting arcade machines, etc. These are temporarily irreplaceable by GMINI."

Zhiduoxing GMINI mainly plays adventure and battle games now. This single game is short and the game characters are easy to die, which is more in line with the interests of the arcade hall, and it is easier to be purchased by the arcade hall owner.

But in the future, racing, shooting and pinball game consoles will be the mainstream. Of course, there is another device, which is also an important part of Zhang Yang's future plans.

"I believe that you can do this. But I ask you to be responsible for the peripherals of the Zhiduoxing G series. Others can be temporarily handed over to others."

Zhao Mingsheng immediately straightened his back: "President, don't worry, I will personally lead the team to complete the research and development of these devices. It's just about the cost..."

"Is ten million enough?"

"Enough is enough, I guarantee it will be completed within one year!"
