Chapter 451 Cake
After hearing Wang Xi's words, Zhang Dongsheng was silent for a moment. He tapped his fingers on the table gently, which was his usual action when thinking.
"What is the best quality of the game consoles they produce?"
Upon hearing Zhang Dongsheng's question, Wang Xi thought for a moment before answering.
"The best quality can be as good as what we produce, while the worst quality will hardly last long."
Hearing this, Zhang Dongsheng showed a strange expression. After all, the pirated machine can do as good a job as it can, and the cost can be kept as low as it can.
It’s hard to believe that there are still people who would choose high-quality products, but when you think about it, it’s not surprising, after all, such weird things can be found everywhere.
It may not be a path to success!
Isn't there a very famous case in later generations, where a pirate company once acquired the original genuine version? It is said that it was feared that the genuine company's quality would be too poor, which would affect the brand.
He seemed to be a blade maker, but Zhang Dongsheng couldn't remember clearly.
These thoughts just turned around in my mind, and then I asked a key question.
No matter how good the quality of the game console is, there is actually not much difference between it and the inferior one. It just depends on whether the plastic shell is strong or not.
There really isn’t much room for improvement in terms of the remote control of the handle.
The real core lies in that small circuit board.
"What about their games? Did they launch their own games, or did they completely copy ours?"
In fact, Wang Xi really didn't pay much attention to this. After all, in his opinion, the largest consumption of game consoles is definitely the game console itself. It costs more than ten yuan a piece, which is not a cheap thing in this era.
In comparison, a version of the game is expensive at 5 yuan, while the cheap version is only 2 yuan, and the economic benefits it brings are much less.
After all, Rising Sun has launched three games in total so far. "Jianghu", "Journey to the West", and "Fortress". Among them, the "Fortress" game is the tower defense game that Zhang Dongsheng played before.
These three games are usually given directly with the purchase of the game console. Even if the game console purchased before needs to be repurchased, the benefits of the two subsequent games will not be very great.
Hearing Zhang Dongsheng ask this question, he showed a trace of confusion on his face, and then turned to look at the sales director beside him.
Although Wang Xi's management team has only been established recently, all departments are very complete.
"Boss, most of the game console brands currently on the market have copied our games.
Only two or three companies have launched their own games."
Hearing what the sales director said, before Zhang Dongsheng could speak, Li Ping on the side had already taken over.
“Boss, you don’t have to worry about this, our game anti-counterfeiting is very good.
The other party has no way to directly copy the program, so the quality of the textiles produced varies greatly.
Even the best imitations are completely incomparable with our genuine games.
However, there is a company called Red Star, which has launched a racing game, which is pretty good and has some new ideas."
Hearing Li Ping's words, Zhang Dongsheng nodded. Especially, he had some interest in the Red Star company he mentioned. It seems that not everyone is a fool, but there are some smart people.
Game consoles are an emerging market, and Zhang Dongsheng has made this cake.
Although the cake is not big yet, there are already countless people sharpening their knives and forks.
There are only a few smart people among them who know how to make the cake bigger first.
Zhang Dongsheng turned to look at Wang Xi and gave him instructions.
"As for the issue of pirated game consoles on the market, there is no way to prevent it. After all, you and I both know that the technical content of the game console itself is nothing at all.
So what we need to do is to work hard to make our games better and develop truly fun games while ensuring the original technical quality of the game console.
Another point is that we need to set up technical isolation and install real identification technology for game console cartridges.
We must ensure that only our game consoles can recognize our genuine cartridges.
Can it be done?"
The answer to this question was undoubtedly yes. Brothers Li Ping and Li Wei nodded without any hesitation. For them, this was not a difficult matter.
It is nothing more than adding a simple identification program. The pirated manufacturers themselves have no way to crack the cassettes they produce.
It couldn't be easier to add a simple setting to the game console to identify the cartridge.
Seeing brothers Li Ping and Li Wei nodding, Zhang Dongsheng's face showed a hint of expectation.
Since so many imitators have begun to appear, why not learn from previous successful experiences?
In later generations, the open source of the Android system brought about the rise of Android.
Although Zhang Dongsheng is currently making game consoles that are completely different from mobile phones, he may not be able to imitate the operations.
"Wang Xi, help me make an appointment with the owners of game companies on the market who have developed their own games. There are some things I want to talk to them in person."
Although he didn't quite understand what Zhang Dongsheng wanted to discuss with these bosses, at least Wang Xi was able to carry out Zhang Dongsheng's orders to the letter.
That night, the matter was already given, and the time was set for the morning of the day after tomorrow.
Although various companies that produce game consoles are spread across the country, most of them are in Shenzhen, Shanghai and other places.
But Zhang Dongsheng, who was behind Wang Xi, invited everyone, but everyone was very respectful. After all, they also knew that Zhang Dongsheng was the real big boss in the gaming industry.
If it weren't for this guy, I'm afraid even this kind of game console wouldn't exist.
Although he may not really listen to Zhang Dongsheng's orders, he still has to give him the face to come and have a look.
The list was finally finalized, and there were 5 companies in total including Xurisheng.
They are Rising Sun, Shenlong Games, Hand Control World, Five Stars, and Xuanyuan.
It can be said that these five factories already account for more than 30% of the game consoles on the market.
As for the rest, they are junk products produced by various small workshops and small businesses.
I never thought about developing my own games, I just went down the road of pirated games and never came back.
Originally there seemed to be someone named Hongmei, but because of the reputations of Wang Xi and Zhang Dongsheng, they were not invited over.
Chapter completed!
