Almighty Game Designer

Three days later, Didu Haidian District, Lehui Corporation headquarters.

For Chen Jiao, the journey was close, so it arrived on time as agreed.

Someone led Chen to the president's office.

Zhou Jiangping was busy and saw Chen stranger hurrying to put down his workstation and get up: “Hello, President Chen. ”

Chen Jiao shook his hand: “Hello, President Zhou, I've heard so much about you. ”

The two men were chilled for a while. Zhou Jiangping's secretary poured tea to Chen Qiao and then withdrew.

Chen Qiao took a sip of tea and said: “President Zhou, we are both more pragmatic people, we are also busy, so let's be brief. I am mainly here to work with you to develop a handheld console. ”

Zhou Jiangping stunned: “Palm console? ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Yes. ”

Zhou Jiangping had some accidents.

Obviously, as a mobile phone researcher, he is well aware of the current state of the mobile phone industry and the technical level of mobile phones.

As a competitive device for mobile phones, the handheld console is already cold. How did Chen Jiao come to think of handheld devices?

Obviously, Zhou Jiangping is not a gaming circle person after all. He is usually busy. It is not clear what controversy arose from the views put forward by Chen Jiangping in the world's first class.

Zhou Jiang Ping instinctively wanted to tell Chen Yao about the current situation of the handset, but then again, this is all a matter of common sense. Can Chen Yao, as an S-class designer, not understand these things?

Clearly, Chen Wang wants to be in charge, he must have his own ideas.

Zhou Jiangping muttered: “President Chen, why don't you tell us some of your requirements for this handset first? ”

Chen Jiao came prepared and took a USB disk out of his pocket: “Here are some design ideas for this handset, you can take a look. ”

Zhou Jiangping plugged the USB drive into his computer and opened the design documents inside.

He stunned: “This handset… is called switch? ”

Chen Jiao nodded: “Yes. ”

switch has a lot of meaning in English, but the main meaning is switch, conversion.

The name actually fits perfectly and is very helpful in bringing this product to the international marketplace. The biggest feature of the switch is that it has both portable and home features that allow it to be freely converted in both handheld and home modes.

Zhou Jiangping looked carefully at the design documents given by Chen Yu.

Chen Qiao does not write all the features of the switch clearly now, and even some concepts are deliberately very vague, because he and Zhou Jiangping have not reached a very specific agreement, and there is no particular trust in Happiness.

However, in order for Zhou Jiangping to have a more basic understanding, some of the key features have been written, such as the approximate size of the switch, configuration requirements, price level, key settings, etc.

Besides, Chen Jiao deliberately painted the finished drawing of the switch, the position of each button and related accessories, at a glance.

Zhou Jiangping frowned slightly.

This design document by Chen Jiaoping did not completely convince Zhou Jiangping.

The design document clearly states that the biggest highlight of this machine is the ability to play games on both the handheld and the TV.

But what good is it to be able to switch freely between handheld and TV modes at the same time? Portable devices have cell phones and PC and VR game compartments at home, which all seem to conflict with the location of this handset.

However, some specific key designs make Zhou Jiangping feel quite novel, including the design of two joysticks on the left and right, as well as up to ten or more physical keys, which are very well distributed and ergonomic.

Obviously, this handset designed by Chen Jiao is well thought out.

One thing Zhou Jiangping is certain about is that this handset will improve the operability of the game much more than the phone, and may not even be a dimension at all.

Chen Qiao asked: "At present, at the domestic technical level, there should be no problem making this handset? ”

Zhou Jiangping nodded: “Yes, technically, there should be no difficulty. So let me start by introducing you to the basic process of mobile phone agency in China. ”

“First of all, the basic design concept of mobile phones, which is generally given by us, is designed by some professionals. Of course, if it's some marginal product, we'll also get a specialist programmer to design it. ”

“The so-called programmers are actually cell phone program companies that know a lot about the accessories and designs of cell phones and can quickly find some solutions to their problems. ”

“Once we've designed and developed this phone, we're going to hand it over to the factory for mass production. This is also a current mainstream model, as some manufacturers in Europe and the United States tend to delegate production to areas with lower human costs, such as domestic, South-East Asia and South America. ”

“In this regard, in fact, a relatively complete set of rules and procedures has been developed in the field of mobile phones, and it can be said that a large number of people in the country are now making mobile phones in terms of concept and marketing. ”

“As long as you can get people to buy it, as long as you can find a marketing channel, even people who don't know technology at all can make phones. ”

“The handset you are doing should follow this process as well. In my view, the biggest difficulty lies in two ways. ”

“First of all, how much does this handset actually sell and how much do you want to spend on it? If it's pulling investment, it can be very difficult, because the idea is not necessarily acceptable to those investors. ”

“Secondly, there are some accessories for this handset that are not currently available on the market. Unlike a cell phone, you can spell it together. These accessories, which are not available on the market, need to be made individually, and quality control in this regard can be a challenge. ”

“Of course, in the end, it's still a saying, money, anything when it's in place. ”

Chen smiled. "Money? Money doesn't seal, you can think about it a lot. I'm not going to pull the investment, I'm going to pay all the money myself. ”

Zhou Jiangping looked at Chen Qiao's relaxed expression and was also secretly surprised.

I've heard that Chen never hesitated to spend any money, and it looks real.

Other listed companies, even presidents, spend as much as they want, often under financial pressure and depending on the face of the board.

But Chen Jiao is different. All his money is his own. He can spend whatever he wants. No one else will have any opinions.

Zhou Jiangping asked: "Mr. Chen, can you give us a rough idea of the price of this model? ”

"Within 2,500, I would like to set the price at 1999, 2333 or 2499," Chen said. It depends on how much you specify and how much you can keep the cost under control, but I'm sure the lower the price, the better. ”

“This pricing is not high, mainly because the handset is not like the phone, you don't need to consider calls and other features, it's just for the game and the hardware utilization will be high. That's something Chow should understand, right? ”
