Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 468 The future smartphone era is coming
Chapter 468 The future smartphone era is coming
The time came to 2003.
In this parallel world, technology is changing with each passing day, and this year’s digital products seem to be particularly prominent.
At the International Consumer Electronics Show at the beginning of the year, Myron Case reappeared after many years of absence.
He was once the CEO of Hongguo Company, a fashionable personal PC manufacturing company he founded with several other partners.
Then for various reasons, he was kicked out of his company.
However, capable people will eventually release their potential in various places.
So it didn’t take long for him to re-establish a new company, and he has been keeping a low profile over the past few years. This year, he finally launched what he considers to be a relatively blockbuster product.
This product is a fashion and entertainment product, called musicart, which simply translates to music artist.
Myron Keyes prefers to call this product art, because he feels that it is not just a musical art, but also a multimedia art.
This product is very compact, and it targets the music player Walkman owned by Suri Electronics.
Under Myron Keith’s manufacturing requirements of excellence, his art has a very small size. If you let Zhu Youxing describe it, this is a high-end upgraded version of the very popular iPod in the previous life.
This thing has a simple appearance and is only one-third the size of a palm. It is also made in colorful colors, commonly known as candy colors. This player, which is one-third the size of a palm, is also equipped with a 2-inch screen. If If you want, you can even watch movies on it, but you'll probably be blinded when watching movies on this thing.
This is the first fashionable digital product that Myron Keys has exited after years of silence, and it seems to be one of his future ambitions.
This product was just launched at the International Consumer Electronics Show and immediately attracted the attention of countless media.
They were amazed at how small this thing was, and according to Myron Keyes' description, this thing may not look small, but if you are rich enough to buy the large-capacity version, you can store more than 10,000 songs in it.
The media also made waves of exclamations, and this was actually due to the improvement of flash memory technology. Myron Case took a fancy to flash memory technology, and took advantage of Surui Electronics to vigorously promote the advantages of its optical discs, using ultra-low-cost He won millions of flash memory orders at a low price, and then slightly packaged his music player, and the matter was settled.
The cheapest version of such a little thing is only $99.
However, while these people marveled at the skill, Zhu Youxing was unusually calm.
This time at the International Consumer Electronics Show, he did not invest as much as before. He just concentrated on continuing to develop his Monster Hunter and had no time to care about other things. Moreover, he did not have any new electronic product release plans. It was Myron Keys who stole the spotlight.
However, what he must complain about is that although the technological development in this world is ten years ahead of the previous life, the application of entertainment digital products seems to be only two or three years ahead of the previous life.
This is also a rather strange development direction.
However, it is also possible that there are some reasons that have led to the stagnation of the development of fashionable digital entertainment products in this world.
In his previous life, Jobs had returned to Apple for several years and had already begun to release new computer products, new IPODs and even the flagship iPhone.
But the world is very much like Steve Jobs' Myron Keyes, but he has no chance to return to his Hongguo Company.
Or maybe he was completely disappointed with Hongguo Company, so he re-founded a new company and developed it from scratch.
To be honest, the absence of a figure like Steve Jobs has really caused some butterfly effects, slowing down the development of digital entertainment.
Sometimes a person's influence must be admitted to be strong enough.
But it’s not too late for the world now. Myron Keys also revealed his next plan at the press conference.
Next, he will try to re-develop new PC computers and develop a new operating system, with the goal of competing with the Morgan Group's operating system.
However, not many people believe the current rhetoric of Myron Keys, but they are indeed very interested in the art entertainment player that Myron Keys has released.
Not long after the International Consumer Electronics Show ended, information about art players spread on the Internet. Many people hoped to obtain such a product and hoped to buy it as soon as possible.
Myron Keys’ plan seems to be working, at least at first he has gained some attention.
As for now, you should find a way to speed up the production of your product, and then quickly seize the market.
The most unhappy person at this time should be Suri Electronics.
They are still competing with Youxing Electronic Entertainment for the player market.
Suddenly a Myron Keys came out to take away their already very stable Walkman player market, which made no one happy.
I was fighting here, but when I turned around, my hometown was robbed.
For this reason, Hayakawa Uehito had no choice but to redeploy some people to the other side and let these people put out the fire for entertainment players to see if they could produce a similar product to deal with it, but the focus was still on fighting against Yuxing Electronic Entertainment Here, because Surui Electronics believes that the current Myron Keys does not pose a threat.
But now Zhu Youxing already has some sense of crisis.
With the rise of Myron Keys, I am afraid that the future era of smartphones is coming.
No, I have to speed up my pace.
Before, I wanted to go a little slower and find a way to drive down several small Japanese flash memory manufacturers, and then I would take advantage of the trend to acquire them and firmly control the flash memory. In the future, I would not be able to produce as many cassettes as I wanted. No more restrictions.
And with the gradual rise in sales of Myron Keyes' art entertainment player, the flash memory market is expected to pick up quickly.
Then I have to take advantage of this opportunity to eat up those small flash memory manufacturers.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youxing immediately put down the development work of Monster Hunter.
The development of Monster Hunter is equally important, but the acquisition of the flash memory factory must also be prepared in advance.
For this reason, he also specially contacted Matsuhashi Minoru from the United States.
I'm afraid Matsuhashi Minoru will be better at this kind of thing.
As she has worked hard in the United States for so many years, she has become the most well-known manager in the game industry. She has done a very good job in company management and other company-related things.
It is more appropriate to leave it to her to find a way to quickly acquire a flash memory factory.
