Chapter 493 switch?
Three days later, in the imperial capital Haidian District, the headquarters of Lehui Company.
For Chen Mo, the distance is very close, so it arrives on time according to the agreed time.
Someone took Chen Mo to the president's office.
Zhou Jiangping was busy, and when he saw Chen Mo coming, he quickly put down the work in his hand and stood up: "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Chen Mo shook hands with him: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I have long admired Daming."
The two of them exchanged greetings for a while, Zhou Jiangping's secretary poured tea for Chen Mo, and then quit.
Chen Mo took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Zhou, we are both relatively pragmatic people and are both busy, so let's talk about it for a long time. This time I came here mainly to cooperate with you to develop a handheld game console."
Zhou Jiangping was stunned: "Palm-on-hand game console?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes."
Zhou Jiangping was a little surprised.
Obviously, as a mobile phone developer, he is very familiar with the current situation of the mobile phone industry and is very clear about the technical level of mobile phones.
As a competitive device for mobile phones, the handheld game console has been already very cold now. Why did Chen Mo think about making a handheld game console?
Obviously, Zhou Jiangping is not a person in the game circle after all, and is usually busy. He is not sure about the controversy caused by the views raised by Chen Mo in the first class of the World.
Zhou Jiangping instinctively wanted to tell Chen Mo about the current situation of handheld machines, but then he thought again that this is a common sense issue. Can Chen Mo, as an S-level designer, not know these things?
Obviously, Chen Mo must have his own ideas if he wants to make a handheld machine.
Zhou Jiangping pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen, why don't you talk about your requirements for this handheld machine first?"
Chen Mo came prepared and took out a U disk from his pocket: "This is some design concepts about this handheld machine, 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 machine... is called Sith?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes."
Sith has many meanings in English, but its main meaning is switch and conversion.
This name is actually very appropriate. Its biggest feature is that it has two characteristics: portability and home use, and can be converted freely in the two forms of handheld and home use.
Zhou Jiangping looked at the design documents given by Chen Mo seriously.
Chen Mo has not written all the characteristics of Sith clearly, and some concepts are even deliberately written vaguely. This is because he and Zhou Jiangping have not reached a very specific agreement and have no special trust in Lehui.
However, in order to allow Zhou Jiangping to have a relatively basic understanding, some of the more critical features have been written out, such as the approximate size of Sith, configuration requirements, price, key settings, etc.
Moreover, Chen Mo also specially drew the finished product picture of Sith, the positions of each button and related accessories, which were clear at a glance.
Zhou Jiangping frowned slightly.
Chen Mo's design document did not completely convince Zhou Jiangping.
The design document is clearly written, and the biggest highlight of this machine is that it can play games on both the handheld and the TV at the same time.
However, what is the use of free switching between handheld console and TV mode at the same time? Portable devices include mobile phones, and home PC and VR game cabins. This seems to be in conflict with the positioning of this handheld console.
However, some specific key designs made Zhou Jiangping feel quite novel, including the design of the two rockers on the left and right, as well as more than ten physical keys. The distribution is very reasonable and ergonomic.
Obviously, the handheld machine designed by Chen Mo has been carefully considered.
One thing Zhou Jiangping is sure of is that this handheld console will improve the game operability much higher than that of mobile phones, and may not even be of the same dimension at all.
Chen Mo asked: "At present, with the domestic technical level, there should be no problem in making this handheld machine, right?"
Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Yes, technically speaking, there should be no difficulty. In this way, let me first introduce to you the basic process of domestic mobile phone OEM."
"First of all, it is the basic design concept of mobile phones. This is generally given by us. Some professionals will design it. Of course, if it is some edge products, we will also find specialized planners to design it."
"The so-called solution provider is actually a mobile phone solution company. They have a very good understanding of the various accessories and designs of mobile phones and can quickly find some solutions to the problem."
"After we design and develop this mobile phone, we will hand over the relevant solutions to OEM factories for mass production. This is also a mainstream model at present. Some European and American manufacturers often entrust production to domestic, Southeast Asia, South America and other areas with lower labor costs for production."
"In this regard, a relatively complete set of rules and processes have been formed in the mobile phone field. It can be said that a large number of people in China are doing concepts and marketing when making mobile phones."
"As long as you can attract people to buy and as long as you can find marketing channels, even people who don't understand technology can make mobile phones."
"The handheld machine you are making now should follow this process. In my opinion, the biggest difficulty lies in two aspects."
"The first is how much can this handheld machine be sold, and how much money are you willing to invest in this handheld machine? If you are investing, it may be very difficult, because this concept may not be accepted by those investors."
"The second is that some accessories for this handheld machine are not available on the market at all. Unlike mobile phones, you can put together one by one. These accessories that are not on the market need to be made separately, and quality control in this aspect will also be a difficult point."
"Of course, after all, it's just one sentence, that is money. As long as the money is in place, everything is easy to say."
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Money? There is no limit on the money, you can think about it too much. I don't plan to invest, I pay all the money myself."
Zhou Jiangping looked at Chen Mo's relaxed expression and was secretly surprised.
I have long heard that Chen Mo never hesitated about spending money, and it seems to be true.
Some other listed companies, even the president, do not spend as much as they want. They often have financial pressure, and it depends on the expression of the board of directors.
But Chen Mo is different. All his money is his own. He can spend whatever he wants, and others will not have any opinions.
Zhou Jiangping asked: "Mr. Chen, can you tell me a little about the price of this handheld machine?"
Chen Mo said: "I want to price within 2500, 1999, 2333 or 2499. The specific price depends on how much the cost can be controlled, but I definitely hope that the lower the price, the better."
