I want to make a game

As soon as Yamamoto Mishima was sent away, Ma Yun and Tong Zixian came over.

"Mr. Liu."

"Mr. Liu."

Liu Zhiyuan stood up and motioned for Tong Zixian and Ma Yun to sit down with a smile.

"Mr. Tong, sit down and say, Ma Yun, you sit down too."

Tong Zixian was not polite and sat directly opposite Liu Zhiyuan.

"Mr. Liu, all testing of the Elf II has been completed and mass production can begin. After all, the release date is less than a month away, so we have to hurry up."

Ma Yun took out the finished product of Elf II from his bag, the kind with packaging.

Liu Zhiyuan took it and looked at every detail of the packaging box carefully. He invited the world's top design masters to make this set of packaging boxes. The packaging box is very critical.

In this era when everyone uses cheap paper packaging, a pair of packaging boxes made of transparent crystal directly widens the gap with other companies' products and rises sharply.

"Okay, let's start production of the packaging just like this. How much will it cost in the end?"

Ma Yun had already memorized these numbers in his mind. Just in case, he took out his notepad and looked at it before mentioning it.

"Originally it was a little more than 3 US dollars, but due to the impact of this economic crisis, 3 US dollars is enough."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded. In this era, the cost of a mass-produced electronic product packaging box is only 3 US dollars, which is unique to the Han Dynasty.

"Look at the machine."

"Ka...ka...ka..."

If the $3 package was opened in the ordinary way, it would be too anticlimactic and totally worth its price. Taking out the Elf II, Liu Zhiyuan observed it carefully.

"not bad."

Although it doesn't quite reach the quality of PSP in history, it's not much different.

"drop..."

"Han Dynasty."

"HanDynasty."

As soon as you turn on the phone, there is a huge difference between Gremlins 2 and other game companies' products. In this era, if most products have this kind of startup voice, it must be in English. Gremlins 2 also has it, but it rings first.

is in Chinese.

"How long will the battery last?"

Liu Zhiyuan asked after casually taking a game cartridge and inserting it into the Pokémon II.

"The normal working environment is more than 6 hours, and the full power is less than 5 hours, but the minimum effect can last for 10 hours."

Liu Zhiyuan frowned. There was a gap between it and what he expected. The gap was not small. The lowest effect was negligible. Not many players would play with the lowest effect.

His expectation is that the normal mode is about 8 hours, and the full power is about 6 hours. Don’t underestimate the gap of more than 1 hour. This has a very big impact. Many smart electronic products in the future will die in and

The opponent was worse this hour.

"What's the situation with the foundries in Japan now?"

When talking about this, not only Jack Ma, but also Tong Zixian showed admiration. Liu Zhiyuan's release time was so good. There is no need to delay the completion of Gremlins 2 until now, although this period of time is indeed

Made some good adjustments, but compared to the inventory, it's not worth it.

You must know that the order for the second generation of Gremlins has exceeded 50 million units, but the current finished product of the Han Dynasty is the one in Liu Zhiyuan's hands. He cannot make many in a month. If something goes wrong, the loss will be huge.

Already.

"Mr. Liu, the prices we contacted from several OEMs are now very low, and the prices are almost as low as the bottom line. Mr. Tong and I have done the calculations, and they have really supplied the orders for our Han Dynasty at cost price."

Liu Zhiyuan smiled, why didn't he start stocking up on the Gremlins II in advance? Didn't he even understand the most basic sales? He was just waiting for Japan's economic crisis.

Gremlins 2 will never fail. It has no serious opponent at all. If he uses Gremlins 2 to challenge Nintendo's home console, that is another battlefield. In the field of handheld consoles, it has no one-stop enemy.

.

Sega's GMEAGEAR? He has already thought of a new nickname for this handheld console, GAMEGOOD, GG! Of course, only he understands this joke now.

Now that he is sure that the Elf II will not fail, he is not anxious at all. He is not in a hurry with 200 million orders. Anyway, he has no worries about buyers. What is the difference between earlier and later?

You must know that there is a huge difference between the earlier and later costs. Before the Japanese economic crisis, the cost of the Pokémon II was more than 120 US dollars, not counting rechargeable batteries!

Including 2 sets of rechargeable batteries, the cost of a complete set of Pokemon 2 is over 200 US dollars. But now? The price of batteries has not fluctuated much, but the cost of Pokemon 2 itself has dropped by more than 30 US dollars.

Game consoles have always been sold at a loss or at no profit. This amount of more than 30 US dollars is not a small amount. If converted into RMB, it would be equivalent to a month's salary. Even in developed countries, this 30 US dollars is a lot.

"A bonus battery and a charger are included."

Ma Yun was stunned for a moment and immediately put forward an idea that he disagreed with.

"Mr. Liu, the cost of a set of rechargeable batteries is not low. GS and Yuasa can only reduce labor to a minimum, but the cost of raw materials has almost no fluctuation. This is more than 50 US dollars. 10 million units is a loss of 500 million US dollars.

!”

Liu Zhiyuan didn't want to give it away. Although game consoles are said to be money-losing products, the Pokemon II is obviously not. It's just for the appearance, the 16-bit color screen, the big-name games and the rechargeable batteries, so players can make some money.

It is also acceptable.

But who cares about its battery life? 5 hours of gaming time is completely different from 6 hours. 6 hours is basically enough for two batteries, but 5 hours will definitely not be enough for some people.

Because most people only play games for about 12 hours a day. This is not something Liu Zhiyuan takes for granted. This is the big data statistics of later generations. Although it was already the Internet age at that time, people's work and rest did not change much.

It would be fine if there is a power source nearby that can be recharged. The two batteries can be used interchangeably. However, I am afraid that some people will use it in an environment where charging is not possible and the battery will suddenly run out at a critical moment. Liu Zhiyuan knows this crazy feeling very well.

The Elf II cannot be criticized by players in this regard. Giving an extra battery shows that the Han Dynasty is more sincere.

"It can still be lower. Let Li Hua go back and tell GS and Yuasa that I can only pay 40 US dollars for a set of batteries, and the maximum price cannot exceed 45 US dollars. If they don't agree, I will let China OEM. The PSP battery technology is not

They are exclusive, and this idea was provided by me.”

Calculated in this way, even if a set of batteries is 45 US dollars, 3 sets are only 135 US dollars, and the Elf is 95 US dollars, which is only 220 US dollars. The Elf 2 is still profitable, and he set the price at 299 US dollars.

"Will GS and Yuasa agree?"

Ma Yun was a little worried, Liu Zhiyuan was completely a threat.

"Yes, don't worry, GS and Yuasa will not lose money, they will just make less money. If Mr. Liu abandons them and looks for cooperation with Panasonic..."

Ma Yun immediately shut up when he heard Tong Zixian's words. Each of these people's hearts were darker than the last one. He really didn't expect that Tong Zixian, who had a gentle face and a bookish temperament, was even darker than Liu Zhiyuan.

(PS: The recommendation votes are so bad this week. What’s going on? I don’t care about this data, but it’s much worse than before. Is there something wrong with my writing? People don’t like reading it? Let’s comment on the book.

My recent thoughts after reading it, I cried with laughter, cried with laughter...)
