Three days later, in the Haidian District of the imperial capital, the headquarters of Lehui Company.
For Chen Mo, the distance was very short, so he arrived on time according to the agreed time.
Someone took Chen Mo to the CEO's office.
Zhou Jiangping was busy, when he saw Chen Mo arrived, he quickly put down his work and stood up: "Hello, Mr. Chen."
Chen Mo shook hands with him: "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I have long admired your name."
The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Zhou Jiangping's secretary poured tea for Chen Mo, and then withdrew.
Chen Mo took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Zhou, we are both practical people and busy, so let's make a long story short. I am here mainly to cooperate with you to develop 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 familiar with the current status of the mobile phone industry, and he is also very clear about the technical level of mobile phones.
Handheld game consoles, as a competing device for mobile phones, have long since become cold. Why did Chen Mo think of making a handheld game console
Obviously, Zhou Jiangping is not in the game industry after all, and he is usually busy, so he doesn't know the controversy caused by Chen Mo's views in the class of Shida University.
Zhou Jiangping instinctively wanted to tell Chen Mo about the current situation of the handheld, but then he thought again, this is all a matter of common sense, as an S-level designer, can Chen Mo not know these things
Obviously, if Chen Mo wants to be a handheld, he must have his own ideas.
Zhou Jiangping pondered for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, why don't you first talk 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 froze for a moment: "This handheld...is it called sith?"
Chen Mo nodded: "Yes."
Sith has many meanings in English, but the most important meaning is the meaning of switch and conversion.
The name is actually very appropriate, and the biggest feature is that it has two characteristics of portable and home use, and can be freely switched between handheld and home consoles.
Zhou Jiangping carefully looked at the design document given by Chen Mo.
Chen Mo has not clearly written all the characteristics of sith, and even some concepts are deliberately vague. This is because he and Zhou Jiangping have not yet reached a very specific agreement, and there is no agreement on Le Hui. Special trust.
However, in order for Zhou Jiangping to have a more basic understanding, some key features are still written out, such as the approximate size of the sith, configuration requirements, price, button settings, and so on.
Moreover, Chen Mo also specially drew the finished product of sith, 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.
It is clearly written in the design document that the biggest highlight of this machine is that it can play games on both handheld and TV at the same time.
But what's the use of being able to switch between handheld and TV modes at the same time? Portable devices include mobile phones, PCs and VR game cabins at home, which seem to conflict with the positioning of this handheld.
However, some specific button designs made Zhou Jiangping feel rather 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, Chen Mo designed this handheld after careful consideration.
One thing Zhou Jiangping is sure about is that the improvement of game operability of this handheld will be much higher than that of mobile phones, and it may not even be of the same dimension at all.
Chen Mo asked: "As far as the current domestic technical level is concerned, there shouldn't be any problems in making this handheld device?"
Zhou Jiangping nodded: "Yes, technically speaking, there shouldn't be any difficulty at all. So, first of all, let me introduce to you the basic process of the current domestic mobile phone OEM."
"The first is the basic design concept of the mobile phone. This is generally given by us, and some professionals 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 various accessories and designs of mobile phones, and can quickly find solutions to some problems."
"After we design and develop this mobile 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 the production to domestic and Southeast Asian manufacturers. , South America and other regions with low labor costs for production."
"In this regard, in fact, a relatively complete set of rules and procedures has been formed in the field of mobile phones. It can be said that a large number of people in China are doing concept and marketing when making mobile phones."
"As long as you can get people to buy it, and as long as you can find marketing channels, then even people who don't understand technology at all can make mobile phones."
"The handheld device you are making now should also follow this process. In my opinion, the biggest difficulty lies in two aspects."
"The first is how much can this handheld be sold, and how much money are you willing to invest in this handheld? If it is to attract investment, it may be very difficult, because this concept may not be accepted by those investors. accept."
"Secondly, there are some accessories of this handheld, which are not currently available in the market. Unlike mobile phones, you can put together one piece together. These accessories that are not available in the market need to be made separately. The quality of this aspect is controlled. It will also be difficult.”
"Of course, after all, in the final analysis, there is only one word, which is money. As long as the money is in place, you can talk about anything."
Chen Mo smiled: "Money? There is no cap on the money, you can think about it. I don't plan to attract investment, all the money is paid by myself."
Seeing Chen Mo's relaxed expression, Zhou Jiangping was also secretly surprised.
It has long been heard that Chen Mo has never hesitated to spend money, and it seems to be true.
In some other listed companies, even the presidents don’t spend as much as they want, they often have pressure on financial reports, and it depends on the face of the board of directors.
But Chen Mo was different. All his money was his own, and he could spend it however he wanted, and no one else would have any opinions.
Zhou Jiangping asked: "Mr. Chen, can you briefly disclose the price of this handheld?"
Chen Mo said: "Within 2500, I would like to set the price at 1999, 2333 or 2499. The specific amount depends on how much the cost can be controlled, but I definitely hope that the price is as low as possible."
"The price is not high. The main reason is that the handheld is not like a mobile phone. It does not need to consider calls and other functions. It is entirely for games, and the utilization rate of the hardware will be very high. Mr. Zhou should understand this well, right?"
