Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 20 phone call

  Chapter 20 Telephone Talk

   If you use the later game consoles for comparison, the first-generation red and white consoles are real children's toys.

The technological content in    cannot be said to be absent, it can only be said to be a little more than nothing.

   As long as you have a college-level electrical knowledge theory, plus a basic knowledge of programming, you can start.

   Buy general-purpose circuit boards, and then buy general-purpose processors, computing processors, decoders, cache chips, etc. that have been rotten.

   Next, connect according to the specified welding method, and a red and white machine was born.

   This is also the reason why the red and white machines were copied so quickly, even a little smarter can do it.

   And a mature circuit board foundry company, making this kind of thing is simply pediatric.

   Not to mention that the level of technology in this parallel world is on average more than ten years higher than the same period in Zhu Yuxing's previous life.

  The chips used in the red and white machines are already considered to be completely bad street goods in this world, and technical products that have long been eliminated.

   Even if you are careful, you can find a lot of electronic parts with complete functions in the garbage station, and they are sold by the pound.

  Bamboo Youxing is too lazy to bother and has no shortage of money, so he simply purchases directly from formal channels.

  The cost of the circuit board itself is only 1,000 yen, plus the mass production cost of the cheap plastic case of 500 yen and the cost of connecting lines and interfaces of 400-500 yen.

   The cost of cheap plastics is half the cost of circuit boards, and you know how cheap the electronic components needed for red and white machines in this world are.

  If this kind of circuit board is not assembled manually, but made in a streamlined production line, the cost can be lowered even further. Bulk purchase and production cost, Zhu Yuxing estimates that the ex-factory price of this thing is probably 2,500 yen.

   However, technology will improve sooner or later. Of course, it is impossible for Zhuyouxing to develop games with red and white machines all the time. Sooner or later, higher-end chips will be used to make better games.

   But now, let’s eat up the dividends of the red and white machine itself.

  Looking for a foundry is indeed what Zhu Yuxing needs to do most now.

   "Hello, I'm Zhu Yuxing, I heard you're looking for me?"

   Zhu Yuxing dialed the number and took the initiative to introduce himself to the other party.

   On the other end of the phone, Hirohito Chida who was holding the phone was a little excited.

   The other party is at least willing to contact him.

   "Hello Zhuyou-kun, I'm Hirohito Zhitian, I'm a salesman of Shenda Electronics Co., Ltd. Our company is a factory specializing in PCB production."

   When Zhu Yuxing heard that he was a manufacturer of circuit boards, his heart stopped for half a beat.

   Really just get whatever you need.

  I was thinking about finding a foundry to produce circuit boards all day, but I didn't expect the other party to come to the door so quickly.

  I haven't really looked for it yet.

   Take Yusei's accident, but in this day and age, it's actually not uncommon.

  Bubble burst is not easy for anyone, the Japanese are going crazy if they want to make money.

  Especially those who still have jobs, they can fight for the slightest hope.

  Everything is for life.

  When he heard the term video game from a child, he noticed the word electronic.

   Then he personally observed the appearance and operation of the game console. If their factory had corresponding drawings for production, they would definitely be able to manufacture them.

  If he negotiates such an order by himself, then his next life will be much better.

   Even if the transaction volume is not high, at least he will not be scolded by that **** boss for an hour every day.

The English abbreviation of    circuit board is that the other party of the PCB also takes the initiative to introduce himself with relatively professional terms, and also wants to express his professionalism.

   Zhu Yuxing was surprised in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface: "Hello Chida-kun, may I ask what is the matter with you?"

   "Ah, it's this kind of Zhuyou-kun. I learned through some channels that you are making a brand new product, which is called a video game console."

   Zhu Yuxing nodded: "Yes, it was indeed made by me, is there any problem?"

   "Well, I can see that there should be a certain market for this thing, but according to the current circulation of this video game machine in the society, I think you should only make it in a small workshop, right?"

   Take Yuxing was slightly surprised, but nodded and said, "You guessed right."

   "So, Takeyou-kun, if you have plans for mass production of video game consoles, our factory is very willing to OEM for pcb circuit boards, and the price will definitely satisfy you."

   Sure enough, it was for this.

  There is no shortage of sensitive people in this world, and they can find clues by following some clues.

   "About this, it's not appropriate to talk on the phone. Come to this address tomorrow, how about we talk more?"

   Zhu Yuxing didn’t intend to make a decision directly, and it was not very formal to talk about business by phone.

   "Of course, of course, I will arrive on time tomorrow, so I won't disturb you, Zhuyou-kun."

   Write down the address, hang up the phone, Chitian Hirohito clenched his fists slightly, this time there is a good chance to make a decent order!

   In fact, after leaving Daejeon's entertainment hall in the morning, Hirohito Chita did not go back to the company directly, but went to several other places to check the video game machine according to the address given by his son.

   Then he asked the children who played games again, and came to a relatively accurate conclusion.

   This thing is not really sold to the outside world, it is really just a model similar to a test machine.

   And it doesn't seem to be the product of a big company.

   If it is a product of a big company, at least the company's LOGO will be printed on the product.

   And large companies also have their own testing teams, which will have a more professional testing process, instead of throwing them in a few entertainment halls and shopping malls in this simple and rude way.

   From this, he has come to a basic conclusion.

   This product is personally made and has a lot of potential.

   No mass production.

   If this producer is a little chasing, he must have begun to consider finding a foundry for mass production of circuit boards.

  Small workshop is not a long-term solution after all, not to mention the low yield rate, the production efficiency is still very poor.

  Chida Hirohito realized that this would be an opportunity.

   But think about it carefully, this thing should only make hard money, not a lot of money.

  Because of the appearance of this game console, it is estimated that the cost itself is not high.

  Looking at the size of the current market, if you sell it to entertainment halls and other places, you can sell at most 30,000 to 50,000 units a month, and you can almost earn some commissions that can make your family relax a bit.

   It's just that he never imagined that such a thing could break through 500 million in sales, becoming an insurmountable peak in the world's game and entertainment industry.

  The sales of the game itself are also very shocking.
