Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Wanwan has a foundation here, so naturally we can't waste resources in vain.

Although the sales of arcade machines and home consoles are difficult to reach the sales volume of handheld consoles, the profits are still considerable. Especially for home consoles, the loyalty of players is very high. As long as there are interesting games, everyone will welcome them.

Chapter 368 Technical House Subordinate "Subscription at the End of the Month"

As for the research and development of the console, these days, as long as the game company can thoroughly understand the core technology inside, it can become its own by simply changing a vest.

Of course, it is absolutely impossible to completely copy without something of your own.

Shanzhai, ahem, borrowing is borrowing, but after borrowing, we must find out our own core technology, only by distinguishing it from others, so that we will not be sued.

Between game companies such as Sega and Nintendo, due to jealousy, there are many infringement lawsuits. Thinking of this, Yang Chen wondered if he should quickly apply for a patent for the GB shape design.

Especially the cross key, if it is successful, those games that have not been authorized will not be able to use the game cross key.

Sometimes things like patents are really rough. All kinds of things in later generations can be patented, and if people don't pay attention, they will be infringed.

Thinking of this, Yang Chen felt that his company had to set up a patent department, and no matter what, after researching it, he would apply for a patent.

Taking Qualcomm as an example, various patent fees are soft, and it is cool to think about it.

After half an hour of the meeting, Yang Chen immediately announced the end of the meeting after he had finished talking.

There is nothing to say, the specific integration plan, the general managers of several large game factories will write a report and hand it to him.

Agreed, you can start to adjust the production line.

He, a big boss, doesn't need to take care of these things at all. Yang Chen didn't leave, and started to inspect the game factory here.

There are two large game companies with thousands of people in Beibei, this is one of them, the general manager is named Shang Liang, Yang Chen is a little depressed about this general manager who is about to become his subordinate.

Let's put it this way, using the words of our later generations, this general manager Shang is a typical science man with a technical background. He is the only one among many general managers who has climbed from the bottom to the general manager position by relying on technology. His management level is not bad.

Simply put, it's okay.

This factory has also received orders from Nintendo, and among the many game factories in Wanwan, it is the one with the most orders and has not been affected by the ban at all.

The reason why it was acquired by HSBC was mainly because the owner of the factory had no confidence in the game market.

The other party had discovered the chaos in the American game market early on, and the competition in the Japanese market was too fierce. Originally, Wanwan was a good development base, but the above-mentioned ban directly closed the Wanwan market.

After thinking about it for a while, the owner of this factory wanted to get out early. He didn't want to make a lot of money, but just wanted to get his capital back.

For this reason, HSBC also made a special call to ask Yang Chen, and with Yang Chen's nod, the factory finally fell into his hands.

The reason why he bought this factory was not that Yang Chen had good intentions and wanted to help the boss out of trouble.

The main reason is that General Manager Shang Liang, who is now by his side, has led people to understand all the core parts of Nintendo's GW game console, and even got a counterfeit version of the console.

This time, it can be considered as a solution to the big problem in Xiangjiang, and greatly shortened the development time of the handheld in Xiangjiang. Originally, Yang Chen wanted to transfer the General Manager Shang to Xiangjiang to preside over the next research and development of the handheld. .

However, what made Yang Chen dumbfounded was that the general manager was unwilling to go to Xiangjiang.

And, the reasons are good and powerful.

In short, all in all.

This guy is not only a technical man, but also a standard technical nerd. Yang Chen even doubted how the other party became the general manager.

Just because the whole family is here, they are used to life, and they don't want to move, so this boss is reluctant to go to Xiangjiang.

If he is forced to go to Xiangjiang, he will simply drop the pick and choose to resign.

Talented people with skills.No matter where you are, you don't have to worry about not having a job. This is the stubborn stubble of later generations who like to fire the boss at every turn.

For such an awesome employee, Yang Chen has nothing to say, he must be dismissed, and he will be the general manager to the end.

Of course, the dark-hearted Boss Yang would definitely not let him go home and eat his own food until he squeezed out the last bit of sweat from the other party.

According to Boss Yang's intentions, people with this kind of technical background should engage in technology, and be the general manager if they have nothing to do. Next, Yang Chen will hand over the research work on arcade machines and home machines in Bay Bay to this Manager Shang.

That's right, the other party is still the manager, but not the general manager, but the manager of the host development department.

Wanwan's research here will be taken to Xiangjiang's side for production. If Wanwan's investment in the inland is ignored, then it can also be produced directly here.

With just one mouthful, Yang Chen can feel that this manager who was demoted by him is definitely a technical geek.

Before the new manager of the factory was selected, Shang Liang had to work part-time as the general manager to introduce the situation of the factory to Boss Yang who was inspecting.

For the boss who dismissed him as soon as he arrived, Shang Liang didn't feel uncomfortable. He was the manager anyway, and the general managers of the next few game factories would also have the word "total" erased in front of them.

Who the real general manager will be depends on who Yang Chen likes. Anyway, he has already been eliminated in the first round.

Fortunately, I got a position as the manager of the host development department. Not only did my salary not drop, but my salary doubled on the original basis. I don’t have to manage thousands of people every day, and I don’t have to worry about a lot of troubles. I can do my favorite job with peace of mind. , Shang Liang was very happy, that was a comfort.

Along the way, Yang Chen just watched and didn't ask. Although Shang Liang didn't like to talk very much on weekdays, he was the general manager after all, and a bunch of data came out of his mouth beeping.

It is concise and clear, so that people can understand it as soon as they hear it, and there is no need for Yang Chen to ask more questions.

With such a talent, Yang Chen felt that it was much better for the other party to do their own job than to manage the company.

Moreover, the salaries of the employees in the development department will be greatly increased after Yang Chen takes over.

Didn't we often mention in later generations that technology is the primary productive force?

This research and development is the most important thing. There is no problem with finding as many low-level employees as possible. If there is not enough, we will recruit again. The training will not take long.

But R&D personnel are different. If one is missing, it is equivalent to losing a talent. The reason why Atari collapsed so quickly and there is no chance of re-emerging later is because it does not pay attention to R&D personnel. Outside companies have poached too many talents.

Without R&D talents, how can the mainframe be updated?How to keep up with the pace of the times?

Therefore, on the research and development personnel, there are the lessons of the former, coupled with the example of future Internet companies, Yang Chen naturally dare not ignore it.

Chapter 369 The inspection is completed "Subscription at the end of the month"

In five days, Yang Chen circled half of the bay, and finally finished inspecting several game factories with a scale of more than a thousand people and top-ranked game factories.

There are more than [-] game factories with a monthly output of at least [-] million game consoles, with a total value of less than [-] million Hong Kong dollars, all packaged and sold to him.

With the land, it is really the price of Chinese cabbage, which is ridiculously cheap.

These game factories were built only when the game market was booming in recent years. The machines and equipment are [-]% new. Even the longest working experience of the employees has not exceeded five years, and most of them have only been working for two or three years.

The ban came down last year and lasted for a whole year, and everyone no longer had much hope for the above.

According to the above series of actions, it is impossible to lift the game ban in a short time. Even if there is a day when it is lifted, everyone can't afford to wait.

Therefore, it is really nothing unusual to sell at a loss.
