Chapter 493 Switch? (2nd Update)

Three days later, the imperial capital Haidian District, Lehui Company Headquarters.

For Chen Mo, this distance is very close, so he arrived on time according to the agreed time.

Someone led Chen Mo to the president's office.

Zhou Jiangping was busy, and when he saw Chen Mo arrive, he hurriedly put down the workstation in his hand and got up: "Hello Mr. Chen." ”

Chen Mo shook hands with him: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I have admired the name for a long time." ”

The two of them chatted for a while, and Zhou Jiangping's secretary poured tea for Chen Mo, and then withdrew.

Chen Mo took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Zhou, both of us are more pragmatic people, and we are both busy, so let's make a long story short." I'm here to work with you on a handheld game console. ”

Zhou Jiangping was stunned: "Handheld game console? ”

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes." ”

Zhou Jiangping was a little surprised.

Obviously, as a mobile phone developer, he is very aware of the current situation of the mobile phone industry, and he is very clear about the technical level of mobile phones.

As a competitive device for mobile phones, the handheld game console has long been cold now, how could Chen Mo think of making a handheld?

Obviously, Zhou Jiangping is not a person in the game circle after all, and he is usually busy, so he doesn't know the controversy caused by Chen Mo's views in the class of the first university in the world.

Zhou Jiangping instinctively wanted to tell Chen Mo about the current situation of the handheld, but after thinking about it again, this is all a matter of common sense, can Chen Mo, as an S-level designer, not know these things?

Obviously, Chen Mo wants to be a handheld, and he must have his own ideas.

Zhou Jiangping pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, why don't you first tell me about some of your requirements for this handheld?" ”

Chen Mo came prepared, and took out a USB flash drive from his pocket: "Here are some design concepts about this handheld, you can take a look." ”

Zhou Jiangping inserted the USB flash drive into his computer and opened the design document inside.

He was stunned for a moment: "This handheld ...... Called sitch? ”

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes." ”

There are many meanings in English, but the main meaning is switching, switching.

This name is actually very apt, and the biggest feature is that it has two characteristics: portable and home, and can be freely converted between handheld and home phones.

Zhou Jiangping looked at the design document given by Chen Mo seriously.

Chen Mo didn't write all the characteristics of sitch clearly now, and even some concepts were deliberately vague, this was because he and Zhou Jiangping had not reached a very specific agreement, and he didn't particularly trust Lehui.

However, in order to allow Zhou Jiangping to have a more basic understanding, some key features are still written, such as the approximate size of sitch, configuration requirements, price, button settings, etc.

Moreover, Chen Mo also deliberately drew a finished picture of sitch, and the position of each button and related accessories are clear at a glance.

Zhou Jiangping frowned slightly.

Chen Mo's design document did not completely convince Zhou Jiangping.

As clear as the design document goes, the biggest highlight of this machine is that it can be played on both a handheld and a TV.

But what's the use of being able to switch freely between handheld and TV modes at the same time? Portable devices have mobile phones, and there are PCs and VR game cabins at home, which seems to conflict with the positioning of this handheld.

However, some specific button designs make Zhou Jiangping feel more novel, including the design of the left and right joysticks, and as many as more than ten physical buttons, the distribution is very reasonable and ergonomic.

Obviously, this handheld designed by Chen Mo has been well thought out.

One thing Zhou Jiangping is sure of is that this handheld will improve the operability of games much higher than that of mobile phones, and it may not even be a dimension at all.

Chen Mo asked: "At present, in terms of domestic technical level, there should be no problem in making this handheld, right?" ”

Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Yes, technically speaking, there shouldn't be any difficulty at all." In this way, first of all, I would like to introduce you to the basic process of domestic mobile phone foundry. ”

"First of all, the basic design concept of the mobile phone, which is generally given by our side, and there are some professionals who will design it. Of course, if it is some edge products, we will also find a special solution provider to design it. ”

"The so-called solution providers are actually mobile phone solution companies, they are very familiar with the various accessories and designs of mobile phones, and can quickly find solutions to some problems."

"After we design and develop this phone, we will hand over the relevant solutions to the foundry for mass production. This is also a mainstream model at present, like some manufacturers in Europe and the United States, they often entrust production to regions with low labor costs such as China, Southeast Asia, and South America. ”

"In this regard, in fact, a relatively complete set of rules and processes have been formed in the field of mobile phones, and it can be said that a large number of people in China are now doing concepts and marketing in mobile phones."

"As long as you can get people to buy, as long as you can find marketing channels, then even people who don't understand technology at all can make mobile phones."

"The handheld you are making now should also follow this process. In my opinion, the biggest difficulty lies in two aspects. ”

"The first is how much does this handheld sell, and how much are you willing to invest in it? If it is to attract investment, it can be very difficult, because the concept may not be accepted by those investors. ”

"The second is that there are some accessories for this handheld machine, which are not available on the market at the moment. Unlike mobile phones, you can put one together by piecing it together. These accessories that are not available on the market need to be made separately, and quality control in this regard will also be a difficulty. ”

"Of course, when it comes to talking, in the final analysis, it is still a sentence, that is, money, as long as the money is in place, it is easy to say anything."

Chen Mo smiled: "Money? There is no cap on the money, you can think more. I didn't plan to pull the investment, I paid all the money myself. ”

Zhou Jiangping looked at Chen Mo's relaxed expression, and was secretly surprised in his heart.

I have long heard that Chen Mo has never had any hesitation in spending money, and it seems to be true.

Some other listed companies, even the president does not spend as much as he wants, and often has financial pressure and depends on the face of the board of directors.

But Chen Mo is different, all his money is his own, he can spend it however he wants, and others will not have any opinions.

Zhou Jiangping asked: "Mr. Chen, can you first roughly reveal the price of this handheld?" ”

Chen Mo said: "Within 2500, I want to price it at 1999, 2333 or 2499." How much it depends on how much the cost can be controlled, but I definitely hope that the lower the price, the better. ”

"This pricing is not high, mainly because handhelds are not like mobile phones, there is no need to think about calls and other functions, it is entirely for gaming, and the utilization rate of hardware will be very high. This should be easy to understand by Mr. Zhou, right? ”
