Chapter 21 Imitation

The R&D team of Wanhu China has achieved remarkable results with the support of sufficient funds. The light-emitting diode has been successfully miniaturized and can be stuffed into the Tetris handheld machine.

In California, across the distant ocean, the backlight Tetris machine that appeared is the product of this technological breakthrough.

Compared with the first version of Tetris handheld console, the backlit handheld console is not very different in principle. It does not require the voltage amplification device commonly needed for small light bulbs. It only requires two jumpers and a small light bulb to complete the transformation.

If calculated in RMB, the increased costs will be less than ten yuan. If calculated in US dollars and Japanese yen, it will be almost negligible.

Of course, the cost of materials cannot be calculated only, but even if the cost of R&D is calculated, it can still be said that with China's low wages, it is still almost cost-free.

Because for ten thousand households of China, which is equivalent to a foreign exchange bull, the RMB is difficult for other Chinese companies to obtain, and for ten thousand households, it does not cost money at all.

From the beginning, the light-emitting diodes were made up all domestically, so they used very little foreign exchange.

The most significant result of this success in the development after obtaining the patent was that the price increased by a full ten dollars when the Tetris machine increased its cost by less than ten yuan.

You should know that the offshore price of Tetris handheld consoles is only ten dollars, and the ten dollars that have increased at once are almost all profits.

The market's reaction to the new Tetris handheld console was also well received. Players not only said it like hammer fans, but also voted with their wallets. Although it was ten dollars and nearly three thousand yen, the enthusiasm of players was still high.

The market share of Wanhu, which was originally being pursued by various pirated manufacturers, has increased significantly. Those pirated manufacturers can almost only watch the backlit version sweep the market, because they have no understanding of this brand new technology.

Upstream parts suppliers of pirated manufacturers also do not have the reserves for this technology.

The technology has always been weak and can only gain tens of thousands of households in the market, and finally got the sweetness of technology for the first time.

However, although high profits were made in a short period of time, it does not mean that the profit can be maintained for a long time.

The commercially available light-emitting diode technology is already very mature. Some parts manufacturers can probably reverse engineer the complete structure and copy it after buying a few samples.

Although large companies do not risk patent infringement to produce such light diodes. However, how can those companies that are already on the edge of the law, those areas that originally regard the law as nothing, not immediately imitate and join the ranks of earning excess profits.

Therefore, despite the success of the period, the atmosphere within the R&D and product design departments of Wanhu has become more tense. Because they have achieved only phased victory. If they want to maintain their current advantages, they must constantly innovate this technology.

When others can bury the light emitting diodes under the screen to achieve the screen luminous effect, you must be able to make the backlight even.

When others can make the backlight even, you will not leak light.

If others do not leak everything, you should pay more attention to energy saving and adjustable brightness functions.

In short, technology is constantly improving. Without the heart to keep moving forward, it will not work on the road of technology.

The ham sausage mobile phone that once almost represented the Android camp was eliminated by other manufacturers by various means because they did not care about the underlying technology.

If tens of thousands of households want to be uncontrollable, they must have hardware production and R&D capabilities.

This is not a easy road, nor is it an easy road.

If it weren't for the entire Chinese talent team, Takahashi's choice might have chosen to cooperate with skilled manufacturers and develop various hardware like Nintendo and Sega.

When China's backlit Tetris handheld machine achieved excellent results, a bad news came from the headquarters of Japan.

Nintendo unilaterally announced that it would stop all cooperation with Wanhu.

The reason is that Nintendo discovered that there were pirated red and white machines in circulation in mainland China.

Wanhu employees from high-level to grassroots level, from Gaoqiao to grassroots level, all looked confused.

You should know that although tens of thousands of households have the ability to produce 6502 and plan to produce 6502, they only handed the prize to several affiliated computer institutes of domestic Chinese universities to study how to develop cheap learning machines.

The pirated red and white machines circulating in mainland China actually point to one place, that is, Taiwan (Harmony) Bay.

Even the chip manufacturer in Taiwan (Harmony) Bay has integrated the 6502 CPU, the CPU with the PPU graphics processor.

Although this is not surprising, the chips used by the red and white machines are already the technology ten years ago. However, this move has greatly reduced the manufacturing cost of the red and white machines.

This is definitely a great benefit for the whole machine manufacturers that assemble red and white machines.

The only thing that restricts Taiwan (Harmony) Bay pirated game consoles from entering the world is production capacity, as production capacity increases.

Whether it is mainland China or Xiang (Harmony) Port, whether it is South America or Africa, as long as it is not a developed country, there are pirated red and white machines.

There is a reason for non-developed countries not paying attention to patents. The reason is very simple, that is, a sound patent system will be a completely devastating blow to their own enterprises.

Because patents are walls built by developed countries, and are weapons used by developed countries to harvest the world.

Therefore, when pirated red and white machines from Taiwan rage the whole world, it was Wanhu who took the blame.

The "Space Warrior" project team stopped directly after learning the news because their programming was based on red and white machines.

In addition, the game mode of this game is not suitable for arcades at all. If you want to transplant an arcade, the changes are so big that it is almost no different from making another game.

Takahashi once again came to Sega's headquarters. Sega, who was always welcomed by Takahashi, even though he learned that Nintendo had terminated his cooperation with Wanhu, he did not take any action.

Although Takahashi knew that the mall was full of business and could not talk about feelings, he was still a little moved.

After an hour of memories in the secret room, Wanhu and Sega reached a cooperation intention and the game "Space Warrior" is being produced. It is expected to be launched on Sega's home platform SMX.

As soon as the news came out, the game circle was shocked.

At the same time, Wanhu China also received a notice from Takahashi to fully imitate the integrated red and white machine chip produced by Taiwan (Harmony) Bay.

Don’t do it, don’t stop.

You said I imitate the red and white machine!
