Kentaro Hayakawa removed the old minister and replaced the new minister named Hayakawa Ueto. He is the youngest son of Kentaro Hayakawa. He is 35 years old and has been in charge of overseas business.
Now that the overseas business is on track and his help is no longer needed, his father called him back to manage a new department called the Electronic Game Division.
To be honest, he really doesn't understand video games and is even more confused than the old minister.
But this time Kentaro Hayakawa gave him a clear plan.
The marketing of electronic games and game consoles must be completely separated from development and cannot be confused. The development of electronic games must be 100% respected. At the same time, we must also learn from the Famicom to accept third-party game production and explore game production as much as possible.
Talents.
With these rules, Hayakawa Ueto can actually manage the management team at most, plus coordinate the cooperation between the teams.
The old director was originally transferred from the Marketing Management Department, so as the deputy director now, he will also start to be mainly responsible for marketing matters and will no longer be allowed to interfere in anything related to game production.
Marketing is only responsible for promoting the game products after receiving them, and is not allowed to interfere with any game creation.
Surui Electronics' turning speed was extremely fast, and it only took half a month for it to quickly readjust.
The people who develop games and consoles are respected, and their motivation is immediately different.
Now they are not forced to take a long time to make a game, but they have also set a minimum limit, which requires their more than 20-person game team to produce at least one game within three months.
At the same time, the additional manpower is to add a new game development team, but this development team has only one task, which is to dismantle the game.
Dismantle all the game programs of the red and white machines from the inside out and see how to build them from scratch.
Surui Electronics is a large group. They are not afraid of failure, but they are afraid that they will not make progress after failure.
If it weren't for this belief, Surui Electronics would never have developed into a large international group.
At the same time, outside Zhu Youxing's office, a man in a suit was sitting on his seat with a confident smile, holding thick documents in his hands, waiting patiently.
Not long after, Zhu Youxing's office door opened from inside, and Zhu Youxing's voice came out at the same time.
"You tell the second engineering development team that the battery must be made well. This is the only thing that cannot be compromised. If you can't find a suitable product in Japan, then look for it in the world."
"Okay president, I understand."
A young engineer walked out of Zhu Youxing's office and walked quickly upstairs.
"Hello sir, you can go in."
The man in a suit smiled politely at the assistant and nodded, then stepped into Zhu Youxing's office.
"Hello, President Zhuyou, nice to meet you."
Just after seeing off the people from the Second Engineering Development Department, the next person walked in right after.
Zhu Youxing has been really busy for a while. He was busy with company matters during the day, and now he only has the opportunity to study game development at night.
Seeing the people coming in, Zhu Youxing glanced at the guest list on the table.
"Is it Ishimura-san, the business manager of Kuppongi Entertainment Co., Ltd.?"
"Yes, my name is Ishimura Mino. I have asked Mr. Ota to contact you before."
Ishimura Mino introduced himself and walked to Takeyusei's desk.
"Sit down, I heard that your company is interested in participating in game development?"
"Yes, our company has been producing software systems for dancing machines, pachinko, mobile karaoke machines and other equipment in the past. We have certain experience in this area."
As he spoke, he put the information in his hand on Zhu Youxing's desk and pushed it over.
Zhu Youxing picked up the information and started to read it while listening to the other party's introduction.
"We are also looking for business transformation recently and want to make a breakthrough. We happened to see that your company has developed and produced a game console product, and also openly welcomes anyone to join in making games, so we became interested."
"At the same time, didn't your company also add the first third-party game to your game console lineup not long ago? And those people themselves are only halfway through the game. Our company is thinking that maybe with our technical strength, we are also qualified to join.
.”
Among the information handed over by Ishimura Mino, there is all the basic information about their Kuppongi Entertainment Co., Ltd.
As he just introduced, it is a company that focuses on entertainment systems and software development. This is actually a relatively young industry in Japan today.
"I welcome it very much." Zhuyouxing closed the information and nodded. "Our game consoles do need more video games, and we also need more individuals or company groups to join this platform."
Ishimura Mino said happily: "That's great. We have actually produced several game demos, but we can't run them on the Famicom without a license. Are there any requirements for us to obtain a license?"
Ishimura Mino can be said to be the first outside company to actively want to join the Famicom camp, so Ishimura Mino does not know what conditions are required to obtain the Famicom authorization.
"So fast?"
This company acted very quickly, which surprised Zhu Youxing.
Zhu Youxing thought for a moment and then asked: "What platforms can your games run on now?"
"The PC platform is fine. We also plan to launch games on the PC platform in the future. But as you know, the price of personal computers has not completely dropped yet. There are still only a few people who actually own personal computers. I think the focus must still be on game consoles.
"
Computers in Japan now generally cost more than 70,000 yen. Of course, if you want to save up a second-hand mobile phone, there is no problem, it will be half the price.
But if the average family has no special needs and just wants to play games, then the game console is obviously more cost-effective.
Now the Famicom only costs 7,000 yen, and a game costs 3,000 to 5,000 yen.
Under Japan's strict copyright laws, you can't escape spending money to buy genuine games and software when buying a PC. It's really more cost-effective than buying a game console directly.
Especially after the bubble burst, people became more careful with their spending in all aspects.
Zhu Youxing nodded: "Then let me see the trial content first, and then we will make a decision."
"Okay, I've brought the trial content here."
Ishimura Mino immediately took out a box of discs from his bag. The name of the trial game was written on the disc with a black marker. He only needed to insert the disc into the computer and simply install it to run and try it out.
