Tokyo Video Game Tycoon

Youxing Electronic Entertainment was quick to find a second manufacturer of flash memory cassettes, and the other party simply set a price, which was one dollar to five dollars more expensive than the previous average cassette, and the cost of cassettes of different capacities will also be different.

There is no choice in this, and bargaining is definitely indispensable, but the needs of players are guaranteed to be the top priority.

But as soon as the contract was signed, Zhu Youxing immediately made a decision.

Cassettes can never be restricted by people anymore.

He must buy a flash memory manufacturer.

It doesn’t need to be too big, as long as you have a certain amount of independent patents, and it’s best to have a mature R\u0026D team. He hopes to continue to develop and continue to reduce the cost of cassettes.

He wants to use facts to prove that the cassette should be the best carrier for the handheld.

It doesn't make much sense whether the mainframe uses a cassette or a CD, but the handheld is definitely more suitable for the cassette.

It is not easy to buy a flash memory manufacturer, but the world does not lack companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy.

If this kind of company wants to buy it, it will be much easier. Zhuyouxing immediately asked people from relevant departments to investigate. After investigations all over the world, the flash memory industry is actually relatively mature, and it is not as monopolized as processor chips. , it is not too difficult to find a relatively small flash memory company.

It's just that Zhu Youxing's thinking was a bit simple. It took the company's staff about a month to barely find a company that met the requirements.

This company is from Poland, and it used to be a little famous. The owner of this company was on the verge of bankruptcy because of investment failure, but the asking price of the other party was relatively high, because many companies were eyeing this company, all because of this. This company has a lot of patented technologies, and these things are still worth some money. If the two want to buy them with full capital, they will need at least two billion US dollars.

And the companies that are preparing to bid are also relatively strong, and the final price that is actually finalized is likely to exceed three billion U.S. dollars.

If Zhu Youxing really bought it after gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he would have almost no cash, and if he wanted to spend a lot of money to make a 3A masterpiece without asking for anything in return, or make a frantic one, he might not be able to pay back Forget about the Final Fantasy 7 movie.

Zhu Youxing thought about it seriously, and decided to give it a try first.

Anyway, it's just the bidding stage. If it exceeds the estimate, quit and find another one.

As for this class, another two months have passed. Suri Electronics took advantage of this time to expand rapidly, and tried every means to promote its own optical disc standards and products, vigorously promoting that optical discs are the future.

If Zhu Youxing hadn't experienced the afterlife, he would almost believe it.

At that time, even though the cost of flash memory was higher than that of optical discs, it still won the final victory.

The reason for this is actually quite understandable.

Because the optical disc itself is not as convenient as flash memory, and the ability to read and write data is not comparable to flash memory.

A fingernail-sized flash memory chip later stores 1TB of content, and can be copied and deleted at any time, which is many times more convenient than a CD.

In the end, the only advantage of optical discs may be that they have a longer lifespan than flash memory, which is more suitable for long-term storage.

But that's a niche industry.

However, many people in this world do not have the prophetic advantage.

It is also impossible for a company as large as Surui Electronics to foresee the future.

Instead, they took advantage of this opportunity to increase the production capacity of optical discs, because the supply of optical discs is beginning to fall short of demand, so they need to send some people to provide technical support, free of charge, of course, not less than a dime of the patent fee.

"President, this is the sales data of Su Rui Electronics' latest game console and game CD. The situation is not optimistic."

After Su Rui Electronics' sales report for the new quarter was announced, it was immediately put on Zhuyouxing's desk.

After three months of sales, the sales of PNV handhelds exceeded 5 million units, which is very gratifying. Among them, they once again boasted about the benefits of CDs.

Then the sales data of PNF home game consoles is 2.3 million units.

Because Youxing’s GS1 home console also uses CDs as the physical carrier. At that time, it was also implemented to reduce the cost of the home console game entity, and it used the standards and technologies of Su Rui Electronics’ opponent. The two sides fought hard in this regard. , because of the Morgan Group's bet, and one of the big customers like Youxing, the CD standard of this company can still compete with the standard of Surui Electronics, and it has not fallen into a disadvantage.

Naturally, there is no problem with the physical disc on the GS1 side, so the home machine side is more popular.

Now it seems that neither the home console nor the handheld Surui Electronics has surpassed Youxing.

But their growth momentum is very fast, and they really cannot be underestimated.

Zhu Youxing glanced at his opponent's sales data, and then looked at his own sales data again.

In three months, GSL handhelds sold nearly 7 million units as expected, which is more than one million units more than Surui Electronics. There is really nothing to be afraid of.

GS1 also sold more than 6 million units in the past three months, which is still more than Suri Electronics, but we should not be careless.

Su Rui Electronics should indeed have found some direction this time.

However, the production capacity problem on my own side will not last for too long, and the next competition will be more interesting.

However, this time, Zhu Youxing remembered the flash memory factory that caught fire, and also remembered the few flash memory companies that took advantage of this opportunity to raise prices, and wrote them down in a small notebook, and then asked them to settle accounts one by one .

By the way, maybe I can take the opportunity to add fuel to the flames?

Looking at the sales performance of his GS1 CD game, Zhu Youxing suddenly took it into his heart.

Why don't you find a channel to disclose the sales data of GS1 discs, and then look at the reactions of these guys, and see if they will be anxious because they mistakenly believe that the discs are promising. of.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxing showed a villain-like smile.

He has never been a little sheep, and he even likes to be a big bad wolf, but he didn't have the opportunity to be a big bad wolf in the past, because he is the lion king of the game industry, and basically has no opponents.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxing called back Yue Yecai who hadn't seen him for more than three months.

Now is the time for her to show her talents. Before that, Yue Yecai helped her find some secret channels to do some shady things. This time, she can use it again.
