Chapter 550 Handheld Game Console
Zhang Dongsheng gave Li Jun instructions, but the situation was not so optimistic. Although he was told to hurry up and take out the new model of display screen, it could not be completed in a day or two.
So all he can do now is to maintain stability within the company and let Aipu run rampant first.
However, although there is no good news on the display screen, Zhang Dongsheng did hear some good news, and this good news was also heard from Li Jun.
"Dongsheng, didn't I tell you? We have made some progress on smart displays and developed a processor with fairly good performance.
Wang Xi has placed a lot of orders for this processor, and it seems he has some new ideas."
When he heard Li Jun say this, Zhang Dongsheng was also slightly startled. He was a little confused. What did Wang Xi mean?
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhang Dongsheng finally took the initiative to call Wang Xi, and was a little curious about what this guy wanted to do.
As soon as the call was connected, an excited voice came from Wang Xi's side.
"Dongsheng, I just wanted to call you to tell you the good news, but unexpectedly your call came over. How did you know that I had good news to tell you?"
"Ah? What's the good news?"
Zhang Dongsheng was also a little surprised, it seemed like something good happened.
Wang Xi explained on the phone for a long time, but Zhang Dongsheng didn't understand it. It seemed that the general meaning was that he had developed a new and very cool game console, and it was visually expected to be popular.
"Oh, I've been talking to you for a long time and you still don't understand. You'd better come over and have a look. Otherwise, I'll go over and find you."
Okay, Wang Xidu said so. Zhang Dongsheng was really interested and simply went over to take a look.
When it comes to games, Zhou Ying has much more say than Zhang Dongsheng.
Speaking of it, Zhang Dongsheng, whether in this life or the previous life, although the game is not fun, his skills are not very good, and he is a rookie for thousands of years.
And Zhou Ying is the real master.
He drove to Jiangcheng TV Station to pick up Zhou Ying, and the two of them went straight to Qingshan Town.
As a pillar of Jiangcheng TV station, Zhou Ying asked for leave every three days. Naturally, the station director was not very happy, but there was nothing he could do.
First of all, Xu Risheng is an important client of Jiangcheng TV station, investing millions in advertising fees every year. Secondly, the station director also knows to some extent that Zhou Ying's identity is not simple.
It can be said that Qingshan Town looks different every day. Every time Zhang Dongsheng comes here, he can clearly feel the changes in this small mountain town.
Originally, Qingshan Town was just a small village in an ordinary ravine, but since Xuyang Games arrived here, it has gradually developed, and it had begun to take shape when it was last time we came here.
But looking at Qingshan Town now, Zhang Dongsheng felt a little familiar, as if he had arrived in the future.
There were even some young men and women dressed in ancient costumes appearing on the street, playing characters in the Jianghu battle game.
Although it is much different from the later generations, it has already begun to take shape.
The two of them arrived at the Xuyang Game Building standing in front. Wang Xi was already waiting here, with excitement on his face. It was obvious that he wanted to show Zhang Dongsheng one of his proud works.
In fact, it was indeed worthy of his pride. When Wang Xi put this thing in front of Zhang Dongsheng, Zhang Dongsheng was a little surprised.
What is placed here is actually a game console! It is not the previous game console that is connected to the TV and plugged into the circuit board, but a real handheld game console that can be played in your hand.
Although the shape is not the same as the famous S in later generations, Zhang Dongsheng can still tell it at a glance.
If I have to describe it, this thing is somewhat similar to the game console controller of Xuyang Games, except that it has a palm-sized display screen on it.
The whole thing is about the size of a daily plate. Compared with later generations of handheld consoles, it is much bulkier, but it is already very good.
While Zhang Dongsheng and Zhou Ying were fiddling with their work, Wang Xi gave them a brief introduction.
“For this game console, we call it Xiaobawang. There are a total of 4 games built into it, including our most classic Jianghu Battle.
At the same time, it has also been realized that two people can fight. Just like electronic pets, they need to be connected with a connecting cable.
The game console uses the processor and display screen produced by Xurisheng Corporation. In terms of performance, it has now reached world-class standards."
Listening to Wang Xi's eloquent introduction, Zhang Dongsheng also felt a little thoughtful. Speaking of things like handheld game consoles, Zhang Dongsheng really didn't know much about it.
It's embarrassing to say that in the previous life, when S was popular, it was expensive. For Zhang Dongsheng, it was considered a luxury product.
And when he could afford them, smartphones and computers began to be widely promoted, and he no longer had the desire to buy them.
So he really doesn’t know about the development history of handheld consoles, and he hasn’t played it a few times.
But it was obvious that Zhou Ying had some understanding of Wang Xi's introduction.
After playing with this machine for a few times, I gave my own evaluation, which is quite fair.
“This game console is pretty good so far. The four games are reasonably matched, the screen is larger, and it has color.
It's a very good place, but it's not without its shortcomings.
Compared with other handheld devices, it is still larger and not so convenient.
Moreover, it uses the latest high-definition display produced by Xurisheng and a 16-bit processor, so the price will definitely not be cheap.
This will be a flaw for sales, and we have to take it into consideration. Generally speaking, it is a qualified product, no worse than what is launched in the island country."
Zhou Ying's evaluation was very pertinent, and Wang Xi repeatedly said yes.
The main reason why we want to develop such a game console is because the island country has already launched similar products and has begun to encroach on the Chinese game market.
Although Zhang Dongsheng doesn't know much about these things, he can also understand that this is a good development route.
After all, later generations have proven that this thing will be a hot commodity in the future.
“At present, this game console is considered a mature sample, and it has begun to be promoted in China. The price of a game console is RMB 92.
However, the sales situation is not very good and can only be calculated as average. After all, our pricing is still a bit expensive."
Regarding Wang Xi's statement, Zhang Dongsheng couldn't help but click his tongue. At 92 yuan, this price is equivalent to one month's salary of an ordinary worker.
Such a high price makes the audience of this game-level product very narrow, and probably only two types of people will buy it.
One is the young people who have just started working and have their own financial resources, and the other is the real rich people who don't care about this little money.
