In an office at the headquarters of Surui Electronics Group in Minato-ku, Tokyo, several people were having a meeting.
The leader was a man in his thirties, who was holding the week's sales data of the PN game console he had just obtained.
After a whole week of sales, their results can be said to be pretty good.
"According to statistics, a total of 24,347 copies of the PN game console were sold in the first week. This is a very good answer and means that users have great confidence in our products."
He is the director of the newly established game business department and is responsible for all content related to electronic games.
At the same time, this is also the first time that he has held the position of minister of a department, and he has a rather bold and adventurous attitude.
After a period of preparatory work, their business department has formed a team of fifty people, including game development and game software development teams.
Faced with an emerging industry, Surui Electronics entered very quickly, mainly because it is really not difficult to copy red and white consoles. Surui Electronics has a lot of manpower and can still quickly produce brand-new game console products.
After all, it is a giant group with a strong industrial foundation, and they are not afraid of anyone in the field of electronic products.
Several team leaders felt relaxed after hearing the sales data.
They were also a little exhausted during this period of time due to the rush of work. Knowing that the sales data was not bad made them feel relieved a lot.
The minister smiled and said: "This is a very good result. Thank you for your efforts. However, we should continue to work hard and not take it easy. This emerging industry of electronic games does seem to have great potential."
According to their general survey, many of the people who bought it were players who had already purchased red and white consoles.
And they chose the PN game console simply because it claimed to have better performance and better quality assurance. No matter how you look at it, the game console of Youxing Electronic Entertainment has a rough and inferior plastic feel, which gives Surui Electronics
Great opportunity.
What’s more, each game can only be played for about ten days on average.
Now in Tokyo, which has just experienced a small game boom, many players rush to play one game and then can't wait to play the next one. They are eager to play more games, just like dry
Sponges crave water.
Although some games are highly replayable, how can they be as good as new games?
Youxing Electronic Entertainment can only launch one game every month, which is too small in number, and the games it launches every month can only cover one category. If it is a genre that you don’t like, players will
You will have to wait for a long time.
The pn game console fills this gap very well.
There are three games in the first release. It’s hard to say the quality, but the quantity and sincerity are indeed enough.
The minister took the chart and said to everyone: "What we have to do now is to continue to increase investment. Not long ago, Zhuyou Electronic Entertainment just announced a pistol-type handle, which caused a wave of craze. Who in your engineering department knows this technology?
?Can you explain the principle to me?"
The team members responsible for engineering development looked at each other.
They haven't even heard of it.
Can the handle also be made into a gun shape?
Then they shook their heads, having no clue.
"This is a product that has not yet been released. It has been in the trial stage. It is normal that you don't know. This is the information obtained by the investigators I sent out. This thing has not even been advertised."
"We can't get more detailed data on this product for the time being, but I hope that once this product is released, you will be able to create a similar product for me as soon as possible, and you must circumvent their patented technology. Understand
?"
When the people in the engineering development team heard this, they felt dizzy again.
Our competitors have to dismantle them on the first day of sale and then manufacture similar products as soon as possible. This is simply not treating us as human beings. How can research and development work be so easy?
But this is Japan, a country where overtime is prevalent, especially when the bubble bursts, which exacerbates this phenomenon.
Moreover, I heard that this minister was formerly a deputy director of the Marketing Management Department. He obviously did not understand how difficult it is to overcome engineering and technical problems.
The head of their group had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree.
Then, the minister looked at the game development team, which now has the largest number of people.
"I need you to produce four more games within a month. There must be no delay. Now is a good opportunity for us to capture the position. We must completely occupy this market."
When the game developers heard this, their eyes immediately felt a little dark.
They had almost dozens of people working together to produce three games.
And they are all a group of people who have no previous knowledge of video games.
After studying some game programs for the Famicom for more than half a month, they found three relatively simple games, and then hurriedly worked on them.
Now asking them to produce four games a month is simply not treating them as human beings.
The reason why Zhu Yuxing was able to play so many games by himself in the first month was entirely based on the memory of his previous life.
Those mature game production templates are already known in his mind. It can be said that he will not waste any time in making games, and he can easily do it.
But other people in this world have never systematically learned how to play games.
Even if it is imitating, it is impossible to directly steal other people's code and use it. That is the stupidest way. If the other party wants to sue for infringement, it will be accurate and the reputation of the entire company will be damaged.
First, they need to dismantle the code and understand how the entire program works, and then re-build their own game framework and stuff content into it. In addition, they occasionally take detours. After thoroughly studying the three simplest games, they only have
After half a month, they were almost ready to move into the company for the remaining half month.
The head of the game development team said with a grimace: "Minister, four games a month, this has exceeded our upper limit. It's not that we don't want to do it, but we want to make games of the same quality as our opponents. This is definitely
not enough."
"Then why can people release six games at the launch of the game?" the minister asked with wide eyes.
You want to know, we still want to know.
"Could it be that this company has already made corresponding preparations before it was established? In fact, their game development does not only take a month."
"Impossible." The minister shook his head, "I have already investigated this company before. When the company was founded, this game console appeared simultaneously, and then several games appeared one after another in the following month.
trial.”
"According to the game release model of Zhuyou Electronic Entertainment, a small part of the game must be developed first for people to try out, and then the finished game is developed for sale. If the finished product is already available, there is no need to try it out.
, wouldn’t it be possible to make money earlier by selling finished products directly?”
"But……"
"No need, but, didn't you also produce three games in the past month? Keep working hard, the salary will definitely not be less. If you have any difficulties in life, you can feel free to mention them now. I will try my best to help you solve them.
And I only have one request, to produce four more games of different categories within a month."
