Chapter 364 The NDS Plan of the Han Dynasty

"Do you want to acquire SNK?"

Shi Yuzhu recalled this company seriously. He didn't think there was anything special about this company. Athena was a good game, and Escape from Prison was okay, but these games didn't even have the power to fight back against the Han Dynasty.

"Let Ma Yun keep an eye on it and see if there is any chance."

The Han Dynasty actually didn't have much demand for SNK. He also understood SNK's strongest fighting game ideas. In arcades, MSV, the base board that made SNK brilliant, was not so needed when there was CPS1.

He was afraid that SNK would disrupt the arcade market and break the current structure. Nintendo could be ignored in the arcade market. After Sega lost Yu Suzuki, no matter how strong the arcade technology was, it would be in vain.

Only SNK and Konami will become disruptors. Konami doesn't need to think about it for the time being. Although Capcom now has the reputation of being the strongest third party, that is because of its cooperation with the Han Dynasty.

For the Shinron game, if Capcom challenged Konami to a duel, he would be beaten to death. It would be impossible for Konami to acquire it for a while, but SNK could.

His current thinking is that of those major manufacturers of later generations. I may not need your technology, but your technology may have an impact on me. So what is the best solution? Acquisition and merger!

What's yours is mine, so what's the impact? It's also a beneficial impact. Although it's not good to do this, he also hated this approach in the past.

But the butt determines the head. The Han Dynasty wants to become the world's strongest gaming company, so this method is indispensable, and he will even intensify it. Whenever there are signs that a company will have an impact on the Han Dynasty, he will definitely take action without hesitation.

"Okay, I'll call Jack Ma later, just... we don't need to acquire it, right? It's a lot of money, let's do some advertising..."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Zhiyuan glared at him. Advertisements are in his mind every day, so it doesn’t cost money!

"Here, and here, go back and rewrite it. I will use your version of the document during the meeting. You first think about how to improve this document, otherwise something will go wrong. By then, the impression that the senior officials of the Han Dynasty will have on you will be

Tsk tsk..."

"Yes! I'll change it when I get back."

Shi Yuzhu didn't dare to think wildly. He mainly saw that Ma Yun and Ma Huateng had gone out independently, and he couldn't bear it anymore. But when he heard Liu Zhiyuan's words, he suddenly realized that he was thinking too much.

Ma Huateng is still holding the position of secretary. He is temporary. He should be made a permanent secretary first and then think about that.

Liu Zhiyuan continued to look down. Except for the joystick system, which is more important, the third generation of Elf is not difficult. He does not need to keep looking at it. Another product of the Han Dynasty will be the focus of next year!

NDS, the handheld console with the highest sales volume in history, is the next key project of the Han Dynasty. The development cost of this handheld console will far exceed that of the Pokemon II.

Liu Zhiyuan has already prepared more than one billion US dollars in funds. The development funds for a handheld console have reached more than one billion US dollars. No one will believe him when he says it, but he is afraid that he will not be able to develop NDS even with this money.

Unlike the Pokemon II, which only comes with a PSP shell, this new Han Dynasty product implements some important technologies of the NDS.

The NDS was released in 2004. Although it was not the most powerful in 2004, that was also 2004 and now it is 1990. The 14-year gap cannot be made up by money.

First of all, the WIFI unlimited network function can be abandoned directly. In this era, no matter how capable he is, he cannot decide on global networking.

The NDS, which has lost its WIFI function, has actually been cut in half, but fortunately, mobile communication technology is now usable.

Microphones, receivers, and cooperation with communications agencies from various countries around the world, etc. The cost of this aspect alone is far more than that of the Pokemon II. After realizing this function, the NDS of the Han Dynasty actually has the function of a mobile phone.

Although the touch screen is a stylus touch screen, it was difficult in 1990. It was not impossible to make it, and even touch-type ones were available.

But the cost! A minimal touch screen measuring 5 centimeters above and below costs several thousand dollars. How much will the NDS cost? Tens of thousands of dollars? Crazy!? Even if everyone wants to buy it, how many can afford it?

Resistive screens, which were basically equipped with cheap products in later generations, are sky-high in this era! The key to the real sky-high price is that he still doesn’t understand this knowledge.

He couldn't make any improvements even if he wanted to, so he could only find those big manufacturers to spend money on. This was definitely not a small amount, but he had to pay this money because NDS was too important to the Han Dynasty.

Its importance far exceeds that of the Elf series. No one knows as well as Liu Zhiyuan how big the mobile market is. It is no less important than the Internet market.

Why did he acquire Huawei and ZTE? Why did he invest in building base stations and developing communication technology for them? Just to get a piece of the pie as soon as possible.

It is definitely impossible for him to dominate the global market in this regard. Except for China, other countries will not agree at all, because this really involves the lifeblood of a country. If you leave it to outsiders, you would be crazy to dare to do such a thing.

In terms of communications, he cannot dominate the world. Although mobile phones and mobile phones are not realistic, it is still possible to get a big piece of the cake. The NDS of the Han Dynasty is not so much a game console as a mobile phone with games!

In this era of brick-and-mortar mobile phones, the sudden appearance of a mobile phone that is both good-looking and functional, and can also play games from the Han Dynasty, will definitely cause global madness.

In terms of publicity, he was not prepared to put any effort into promoting the Han Dynasty's NDS. As long as the product could be successfully developed, there would be no market for it. Without his publicity, outside business people would rush for it.

That's right, the Han Dynasty's NDS is not positioned as a game console at all. It is a high-end commercial electronic product. It sells for several hundred dollars. Needless to say, the Han Dynasty cannot afford to pay for it. The best-selling mobile phone in the world is now Motorola's 8000X.

The price is nearly 4,000 US dollars! It is impossible for the NDS of the Han Dynasty to sell for this price, because Liu Zhiyuan wants to seize the market, not make a profit, but it will never cost a few hundred dollars.

He still doesn't know the specific selling price. The prices of those important components have not been determined yet, and he doesn't know if some technical problems can be overcome. He can only guarantee that the NDS of the Han Dynasty can be sold without making money.

Even within a few years, the NDS series of the Han Dynasty will not be profitable. Other companies, such as Motorola and Ericsson, will definitely not be able to do this.

Because mobile phones are a very important part of their profit, and the profit of the NDS console is not important to the Han Dynasty, the games on it are the bulk of the profit.

Moreover, he is also planning to unite with companies with relatively mature storage technology in the world. Firstly, 32-bit hosts will definitely need large storage, and secondly, he wants to improve the storage of NDS.

High-end commercial electronic products should cover everything. A cassette of world-famous songs can turn an NDS into an MP3. He believed that those music companies would not be stupid enough not to cooperate with him.

NDS can also be used to store business documents. A blank memory card, of course, is not a TF card, but a game cartridge without content. With a supporting reading device, you can use a stylus to record some important things anytime, anywhere.

This definitely fits the term high-end.
