I want to make a game

When Liu Zhiyuan was designing a handheld console, he considered all the handheld consoles he had seen such as SWITCH, NDS, and PSV, but he finally decided on GBA.

Because GBA can be said to have the lowest cost among these models, even if it just imitates models such as SWITCH, the cost will rise sharply, and in the end it is very likely that it will look different due to technical reasons.

Secondly, there are concerns about the battery. The screens such as SWITCH are too big, which will inevitably increase power consumption. Atari and Sega have already died on this, so Liu Zhiyuan will not be stupid enough to add another corpse.

In the eyes of future generations, GBA is very old-fashioned, but what if its competitor is GB? GB will have 8 colors, and Liu Zhiyuan will inlay pocket elves on GBA.

GB is successful, but it does not mean that GB is reasonable. Later generations have proven that horizontal screen is the best way to use handheld consoles.

In terms of looks, experience, and even games, Liu Zhiyuan's GBA beats GB.

He himself doesn’t know why GB can make a comeback, but Super Mario? When his layout is completed, Pokemon will have users who are no less powerful than Super Mario.

"Is this our handheld console?"

Although it was drawn in pencil, Ye Zhenglong was still shocked. He had seen Nintendo's horizontal screen handheld console, which was just a rectangular box with no sense of beauty at all.

Nintendo released a horizontal-screen handheld console in 1980, but because each handheld console could only play one game, Nintendo quickly gave up, even though sales were good.

As for why GB changed to vertical screen, you will understand if you study Gunpei Yokoi, the developer of the handheld console. He is a man who dares to innovate and never misses the glory of the past.

"Yes, this is our handheld console, ELF."

"ELF? Elf? Goblin?"

"Elf, firstly, it is in line with the core of handheld consoles, small, and secondly, it pave the way for our Pocket Elf."

After chatting with Ye Zhenglong until dark, Liu Zhiyuan got up and left.

The next day, Liu Zhiyuan went to the company to meet with everyone to discuss the holiday. As expected, almost no one left.

There is no Chinese Spring Festival in Japan, so naturally they will not go back.

As for the group of people celebrating the Spring Festival, they are currently fighting for Might and Magic and have no intention of going home to celebrate the New Year. When Liu Zhiyuan saw this situation, he waved his hand directly.

This month, everyone's salary has increased tenfold. He doesn't care about this little money. There are not many people who receive the salary of the Han Dynasty.

Amidst the cheers of all Han Dynasty employees, Liu Zhiyuan came to Li Huagui's office.

"Did you get a reply from Industrial Light & Magic?"

Liu Zhiyuan doesn't have much time. Once the handheld console is released, it means that he will face the encirclement and suppression of Nintendo, Sega, and Sony. He must establish all the departments of the Han Dynasty before then.

Otherwise, if these three companies target the Han Dynasty together, others will really not dare to come close.

What needs to be solved urgently now is the animation department. The production of Pokemon animations should begin.

"George Lucas doesn't agree with your cooperation plan. They don't lack money or market."

Li Huagui shrugged his shoulders and said jokingly.

"Similar to Gigabyte, why don't you invite George Lucas back like you did last time when you invited Tong Zixian?"

Liu Zhiyuan threw him a cigarette.

"How come it's been so long and you still hold grudges?"

There is a 100% chance that George Lucas will not be brought back, but his attitude towards the acquisition of Industrial Light and Magic was to play it safe.

"Where's Steve Jobs?"

"Jobs didn't explicitly refuse, but he didn't agree either. He wants to talk to you."

"Tell Steve Jobs that after the Chinese Spring Festival is over, I will go to the United States to visit him."

Liu Zhiyuan took a fancy to Pixar Animation Studio under the name of Jobs, which was the company that later produced Toy Story.

There are actually many animation companies, but there are almost no 3D animation companies in this era. What Liu Zhiyuan wants is the 3D technology.

As for Steve Jobs, the future godfather of Apple, it is impossible that Liu Zhiyuan had no idea, but Steve Jobs is now worth no less than him, as you can tell from the $10 million he spent to acquire Pixar Animation Studio.

He is not a young man like Satoshi Tajiri, who is not deeply involved in the world, nor is he a child who is eager to start a business. Jobs now has more experience than his two lifetimes combined, and he is not that easy to fool... No, he is not that easy to persuade.

.

Don't be anxious, talk heart to heart, focus on your heart first, and make more fuss about Apple.

"Collect information about Apple, especially when it comes to Steve Jobs, and be as detailed as you want."

Li Huagui looked at him as if he were a trafficker.

"Are you targeting Steve Jobs again? Even if you're targeting his company, you still want to abduct him as well?"

"That's not to say that you don't live up to your expectations. If you work hard, I won't go around poaching people."

Li Huagui didn't want to talk to Liu Zhiyuan anymore. He didn't understand the extent of Liu Zhiyuan's ambition. He worked day and night, and his whole body was haggard. In the end, he just got a sentence of "unsatisfactory".

"Where's HUDSON?"

"No reply, but I did some research and found out that the former Nintendo Five seem to be doing very poorly now, and PC-E sales have begun to decline significantly."

Li Huagui looked at Liu Zhiyuan.

"It has a lot to do with you."

Liu Zhiyuan is a little confused. What does the decline of PC-E have to do with him? He is not targeting PC-E, a console that will not survive for a few years. He does not have that spare time.

"You had a great time fighting with Super Mario from Sega and Nintendo, and everyone's attention in the market was attracted to this."

"PC-E has been squeezed out by Nintendo and Sega. What happens now? Don't show your innocent face."

Liu Zhiyuan really didn't want to buy PC-E. He couldn't buy it. After all, the major shareholder was Japan Electric NEC. Even the Han Dynasty's funds were not enough to squeeze people's teeth.

However, what did Li Huagui say? You can give it a try. Dongying Electric doesn’t like PC-E’s production line and technology, but he does. Is this the so-called deliberate insertion of willows but unintentional ones?

Seeing Liu Zhiyuan sitting there thinking, Li Huagui said quickly.

"I'm just kidding, you won't really pay attention to PC-E, right? That's an existence that Japan Electric and Nintendo can't afford to offend."

Liu Zhiyuan looked indifferent.

"So what, PC-E is not completely suppressed by Nintendo."

Li Huagui was very worried. It was uncomfortable to meet a boss who had such unpredictable ideas.

"Didn't we agree to merge the production lines with several small companies? PC-E will be sold to you. Do you have money?"

This is indeed a problem. In this era, any large-scale production line is calculated in terms of 100 million. It has 100 million now, but there will be more places to spend money.

Poké Ball has sold over 50 million units, and since it made a net profit of 2 US dollars, it has a share of 100 million. Monster Battle plus SMS share is also a little over 100 million.

The money going forward has been spent long ago. The imitation MD factory over there is burning money every day. In the future, it will be necessary to develop a handheld console, which will cost a lot of money.

The promotion fee for the development of handheld consoles is a large amount of money. If he spends all the money of the Han Dynasty, and there is a slight accident, the Han Dynasty will be finished because the capital chain is broken.
