Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Oda Chong doesn't care at all whether video games are divided into men and women, he just wants to get attention.

Now he is very much the attention of the girls.

"After a while, the cartoon called Pokémon will be broadcast on TV Tokyo, and there will be a game called Pokémon to play. If you are interested, let's find time to play together some other day."

"What's a Pokémon game like?"

"It should be manipulating Pokémon to fight monsters."

"Ah? So cruel, babies are so cute, do you still want to use them to fight monsters?"

"That's right, I just want the baby to eat and sleep, and then get married. It's too cruel to fight monsters. Sure enough, you boys don't have a good thing, and you still want these cute babies to fight."

The girls started chattering hotly.

Oda Chong actually got the attention of the girls.

"However, I think it might be very interesting. You think, the cute baby also has fighting power and can protect the owner. This actually feels pretty good."

Among the girls, a pretty girl said.

Oda's heart trembled, and his eyes shone brightly.

"Do you think so too? I also thought so, but I didn't dare to say it just now." Oda Chong said a little excitedly.

"Well, yes."

Oda Chong was very happy.

Unexpectedly, there will be an unexpected harvest. She is not against the appearance of video games, so maybe there will be many opportunities to chat freely in the future.

Well, I must work harder!

Oda began to cheer himself up secretly.

...

Now, the most popular discourse in Japan is video games.

The industry, which is just over a year old, already has an audience of millions and counting.

It seems that the gold mine of video games has finally been completely dug out of the ground, bursting out with dazzling golden light.

At this moment, any company that invests a little money into this industry will immediately make a fortune and almost never lose money, which has also caused countless companies to flock to it.

For this point, Zhu Youxing had already expected it.

In the previous life, video games also experienced such an explosive period, and countless companies poured into it, and then the video games at this time are also the most mixed, with uneven quality, but this is also an era of frequent masterpieces.

Almost every once in a while, there will be an ultra-classic game that will not be outdated for more than ten years.

Needless to say, several series of our own company, each series has become the industry benchmark.

Su Rui Electronics, Wilders, Jinping Entertainment and several other companies have gradually developed their own series of games and have a series of audience groups.

This is an era of booming video games, and it is also an era of great gold rush.

Today, newspapers, magazines, TV programs, and the Internet are full of video games.

Even YOO, the Internet upstart giant, has also invested in the game.

After Chang Weiyu was rejected by Zhuyouxing for investment, he had other thoughts. Since Zhuyouxing refused to accept investment, he simply formed a team and developed games by himself.

However, his focus is on the home computer, preparing to develop games suitable for the Internet.

Wilders develops arcade games, YOO develops home computer and Internet games, Surui Electronics develops console games and handheld games, Jinping Entertainment and other companies are under Yuxing Electronic Entertainment and Surui Electronics respectively. The field of video games has developed its own path.

When the time came to September, it seemed that several companies had slowly entered a stable development period. There was no special movement on Zhuyouxing, only the Pokémon game that had been promoting, besides attracting a lot of girls. Other than that, it seems nothing special.

This morning, after Ueto Hayakawa completed the preparatory work, he held a meeting immediately after all the employees came to work. First, he summarized the work results of the recent period, then planned today's work content, and finally confirmed the completion progress of the plan. See if there is anything that can be optimized.

"The ported version of the Sun Knight handheld has been developed and is coming to an end, just waiting for the handheld to be released."

"The development of the HM1 handheld is still a little difficult. We need some time and budget."

Ueto Hayakawa looked at the engineering development personnel: "What's the problem?"

"The main problem is the battery. We have tried a lot of batteries, but none of them can achieve the amazing 30-hour battery life of GB."

After saying this, the person in charge of the engineering development muttered again: "Actually, I can't even last for five hours."

Ueto Hayakawa frowned slightly: "Isn't it okay to increase the battery capacity?"

"It can be, but according to our ergonomic research, the most suitable weight for long-term holding and playing with both hands should not exceed 300 grams. Once it exceeds 300 grams, players will find it difficult to persist in playing for too long and feel very tired. .”

Hayakawa Ueto doesn't understand the details of this kind of data, but based on the engineer's research for such a long time, it should be no problem.

He thought for a while and said, "Apart from batteries, what else can be used to reduce weight?"

"Of course there are places that can reduce weight, and that is the shell of the game console. We originally used engineering plastics, which are very strong and durable, but the disadvantage is that they must be thick enough to resist damage such as falling."

"How about replacing it with a shell like aluminum alloy?"

"This... the cost will go up again. The production cost of a single game console may exceed 4,000 yen. In this way, we will have a big gap compared with Yuxing Electronic Entertainment in this regard."

At present, the material of aluminum alloy is still a very cutting-edge thing. Once this kind of shell is used, the cost will be greatly increased.

If this is the case, then if the game console is still sold at 8,000 yen, I am afraid that it will hardly make any money.

If Zhuyouxing has a machine, it can earn 4,000 yen.

Then they can only earn one or two thousand yen per machine, which is a bit big.

Ueto Hayakawa couldn't accept it when he heard it.

For a while Hayakawa Ueto fell into thinking.

Then he asked again: "Leave these things aside, if you use a weight of 300 grams, how long will the battery last?"

"Only four hours." The engineer's voice was even quieter now.

This battery life is really not good, even a bit bad.

Competitors have enough fun games, and the game consoles can also have sufficient battery life. This advantage is obvious.

The biggest factor in the power consumption of game consoles is the chip itself.

It's really confusing.

At this moment, an employee suddenly rushed in from the door, and he looked a little flustered.

"Sorry Minister, I didn't mean to interrupt your meeting, but I think there is one thing you should look at right now. Youxing Electronic Entertainment has released a new notice."

Hayakawa Ueto thumped, how could this Youxing Electronic Entertainment have something to announce? Are they ready to announce a new 32-bit game console?

This is inevitably a bit too fast, and the premature release will seriously affect the sales of the current game consoles.

Hayakawa Ueto couldn't sit still immediately, stood up and said: "The meeting ends here first, let's go and see what's going on."
