industrial maniac

Chapter 421 Raymond must have done it!

Tokyo, Nintendo headquarters.

In the conference room, a group of old men who are nearly seventy years old are discussing how to deal with X-series graphics cards.

The president 'Yamauchi Kui' sat at the top and listened quietly.

Bandai Co., Ltd. transformed into a smartphone manufacturer and acquired Sega to launch the Bandai game platform, which poses no threat to Nintendo.

Because the product types and product concepts of the two parties are too far apart.

Like a smartphone.

Its main function is to make calls. During the signal standby stage, the power consumption may vary depending on the strength of the signal, but it consumes at least 200 mAh of power per day.

Its other main function is to surf the Internet. At this time, turning on the screen, searching for signals, enhancing signals, and interacting with data consumes at least 70 mA of power per hour.

Secondary functions include news push, real-time weather, stock trading tips, etc. These need to be set to run in the background, and consume power all the time.

If you use a smartphone to play games, the 2 mAh battery of the mobile phone may be drained in 1500 hours.

Moreover, smart phones are "comprehensive electronic communication devices", and the more functions they have, the higher the price. In order to better develop the market, manufacturers focus on "cost-effectiveness".

In other words, all hardware is just for compatibility, and its performance is not excellent.

As a result, music phones, camera phones, and game phones with higher prices have emerged.

Compare gaming consoles.

The purpose of the game handheld is to allow players to experience the game better on the mobile terminal. It is equipped with a dedicated game chip, uses amplified speakers that are more suitable for game sound effects, has a better hand-feeling handheld keyboard, and is equipped with a 2500 mAh large capacity battery.

Since it does not have a call function, there is no need for a radio frequency chip, let alone a signal standby.

The cost is reduced, the power consumption is not high, and the third-generation Game Boy can last for 48 hours.

And the price is 988 red notes, but the effect of playing games can kill smartphones priced below 8000 red notes.

Therefore, Nintendo has never regarded smartphones as competitors.

The real competitor of Nintendo is actually the power bank.

Entering August 02, Power Bank has developed the sixth generation model, referred to as C8,

The C6 does not use a commercial flywheel battery, but still uses a super capacitor + lithium-ion polymer, with a maximum battery capacity of 16000 mAh.

Well, 1.6 mAh, after all, it is a power bank, and its main purpose is to provide battery life for other mobile electronic products.

In this generation of charging treasures, Tinhide has increased the screen-to-body ratio. Only the standard equipment uses a 5.2-inch screen and is equipped with foldable bilateral buttons.

Then in the upper right corner of the back, there is a physical 'compass' the size of a watermelon seed that consumes no power.

In the upper left corner of the back, there is a mini laser rangefinder + SOS emergency signal pen that can store electricity by solar energy.

In the middle of the back, small modules such as finding a car, measuring blood oxygen, and measuring heart rate are inlaid.

The built-in functions are still the same as the old three: charging detection, credit card payment, mechanical three kingdoms online game (the mechanical three kingdoms card is the work of the iron game platform in smartphones).

If this is the case, the power bank has no threat to Nintendo.

But the problem happened precisely in the only game that came with the power bank, the mechanical three kingdoms online game.

Up to now, the game has undergone nine major version updates. Since it belongs to the open world, the map has covered the entire parent planet.

In other words, wherever you log in, the game character will appear in the Xinshou Village in the corresponding area, and then start exploring, collecting, interacting with NPCs, and digging out the deep secrets of the world.

Although no one has created a mech until now, the settings closely related to realistic physics, engineering, and biochemistry have extended to steam airships, steam trains, and steam freighters.

Some players became the captain of the boat, some became the captain of the car, some became the captain, some became the police, and some became pirates in the Caribbean.

It is said that the next piece of information is called the Age of Discovery.

Such a power bank, such a game content, even if the screen uses pixel blocks, it can still crush 99% of the game consoles on the market.

But this is not the core gameplay of the mechanical three kingdoms online game.

Its core gameplay is 'interconnection'.

You can run to the embankment of Xinshou Village with your family and have a game of parkour.

You can sneak into the abandoned well of Xinshou Village with your friends, classmates, and colleagues to have a big adventure.

You can team up with strangers nearby to challenge regional bosses, or team up to challenge large and small secret realms.

You can secretly date in the game with fat female friends or boyfriends who dare not tell your family.

You can also run into the wild with anyone, find NPCs to interact with, and then experience various mini-games.

Including mechanical cards, mahjong three missing one, let's find faults, demolition households vs. contractors (plants vs. zombies), Bejeweled, Mechanical Lost City...

It is said that in the mechanical three kingdoms online game, more than 3 small games have been discovered, ranging from five-finger chess, beast chess, and suffocated cows to snooker, bowling, golf, basketball 3V[-], and football World Cup. repeat.

There are more than 3000 mini-games that have not been discovered by players.

It is these creative, unprecedented mini-games that Nintendo fears.

If there is a big game that covers all the small games that players like on the market, and has interactive functions such as Internet, message, networking, chat room, etc., then this big game will be upgraded to a 'game community'.

If a hardware manufacturer owns a gaming community and also owns a gaming platform, it will naturally constitute a 'market monopoly'.

Then ban the existing handhelds, handheld games, TV games, and home consoles on the market.

This is what Nintendo has always wanted, but the route taken by the Iron Skin Company is quite weird. It starts with a power bank, and then matches it with a small game to polish the time, and then quietly handles everything.

In the future, Ironhide can sit back and watch its competitors fall without even having to bother with other game makers, or with other console makers.

In particular, the advent of the X-series graphics card means that the power bank is about to solve the picture problem, which is equivalent to the most fatal blow to competitors.

Therefore, in terms of products, Nintendo missed the best opportunity to join forces with Bandai to resist Ironhide. Now that it is facing Osawa's production capacity independently, Nintendo has no chance of winning.

And in other aspects, such as the background.

Nintendo was founded in 1889. It was mainly engaged in playing cards in the early days. Later, the founder died, and his son-in-law took over, and the company was renamed and emptied, but soon, two atomic bombs fell on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and then the North American soldiers came. .

The grandson of the founder of Nintendo, that is, he, Yamauchi Kai, used money to open the way and befriended two North American captains. Then, by virtue of this relationship, he snatched the company back from his uncle very strongly, and then expanded the business very strongly. , leapt to the largest card factory in Wajima.

Not long after, the North American captain became a major, and his appetite grew. Yamauchi was not worried but happy. After consulting with the two majors, he led a team of North American soldiers, just like the translator who brought the Japanese army into the village when he invaded the East. , directly plundered and monopolized the taxi industry in Tokyo.

In this way, by the 70s, Nintendo had accumulated enough background to start making toys and researching game consoles.

During this process, an employee named "Yokoi Junpei" made great contributions to Nintendo becoming the world's largest game machine manufacturer. most of the works.

And Nintendo also relied on two majors who had become the leaders of the North American military, not only to promote the game console to the world, but also to make the first generation Game Boy game handheld the standard equipment of North American soldiers during the Gulf War.

Even Lao Bu attended the press conference and had to bring his Game Boy.

In general, the rise of Nintendo is inseparable from the support of the two leaders of the North American Military Department.

However, after the two big men retired, they still intervened in the affairs of the North American military department.

One was shot down by the Mavericks on the way to Nanbangzi to check the accounts of the North American base.

One was shot 64 times by Raymond on the Iraqi Krypton battlefield, no, it was shot 64 times by the Iraqi Krypton rebels.

Since then, Nintendo has gone downhill.

For example, the third-generation Game Boy cannot enter the North American market temporarily because the product cannot pass the certification of FMC Food Chemical Machinery Company.

For example, "Gunhei Yokoi", who made great contributions to Nintendo, was hit by a truck arranged by Bandai and flew more than ten meters away on the way to work. It just claimed that it was an accident, and Nintendo has completely lost the "general who expanded its territory".

So, Nintendo can't even do Bandai now, so what can they do to fight Ironhide?

However, Nintendo is not the president who has the final say, let alone the president, but the Western Science and Technology Alliance.

Because of the TV game in Nintendo products, we cooperated with Mitsubishi Electric.

Game cards in Nintendo products, in cooperation with many software manufacturers.

The game-supporting software in Nintendo products, in cooperation with Microsoft and Konami.

In addition, game hardware needs to find a foundry, game boxes need to pay patent fees for connecting TV and handheld hardware, and product sales around the world need publishers, including game-derived toys, comics, animation, etc., which also exist in the Western Technology Alliance figure.

In other words, Nintendo will not be able to gain access to the global market if it does not give benefits to the Technology Alliance.

Now the Western Science and Technology Alliance is unable to parry the X-series graphics card, and the investors behind it-Wall Street are indifferent. In order to counter the Iron Sheet Company, the Japanese company-Nintendo has become the best cannon fodder.

Yamauchi certainly does not want Nintendo to become cannon fodder, but the form is better than people, and he wants to bark for the master.

That's why I'm angry at the dog dealers for "polluting the game industry with light effects".

But dog dealers love dogs, but they will never like their own.

In particular, the other party never advocated the saying "If the dog bites you, do you still want to bite back", but "If the dog bites him, he will kill the dog without leaving any residue".

Therefore, after Shanuchi was furious, he hurriedly asked someone to fly to Daze secretly, referring to the threshold of the village chief's house, and sent two magnetic cards.

……

Xu Fei helped Nintendo do the calculations, found a mechanical vicious dog who was hiding in a corner with a Pomeranian through positioning, and then took a rail car back to the village chief's house together.

Opening the door, Huang Banyan, who had returned from North America, was wearing a brocade cassock, talking with a thin man in the living room.

"As the old saying goes, the Buddha asks for the afterlife, and the Tao asks for the present life. If you ask the poor monk for divination, the poor monk can only help you find a good family and strive for a happy life in the next life. I heard that Cui Dayong's grandson is about to be born..."

Talking nonsense, Huang Ban grabbed two black magnetic cards, "Wait a minute, I'm going to hell, I'll ask Yan Luo for you, how many places are still there, don't worry, as long as the money is in place, we will be fine."

The thin man held on to the magnetic card tightly and would not let go. When he saw someone coming in, he turned his head slightly and said hastily, "Mr. Xu, this is yours."

Seeing this, Xu Fei immediately yelled angrily, "Let's go!"

Old Huang smiled awkwardly, ran up to the second floor and hid.

The thin man presented a magnetic card, "Mr. Xu, President Yamauchi, I am very sorry for his inappropriate words and deeds, and specially sent me to visit to express my apologies to you."

"It's easy to talk, it's okay to scold a few more words."

Xu Fei cheerfully inserted the magnetic card into the backpack of the mechanical vicious dog, and two pleasant notification sounds followed.

"Reading is successful, please enter the password... There is no secret query, and your current available balance is 5 million US dollars."

"Reading is successful, please enter the password... There is no secret query, and your current available balance is 5 million US dollars."

After Xu Fei heard it, he took out a high-quality Cuban cigar from his pocket, put it in his mouth comfortably, sat down on the sofa, and raised his legs, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat, Mr. Xu, do you see this?"

"I watched the sky at night, calculated with my fingers, and guessed that there must be bloody disasters at Nintendo tonight, but I can't tell the fortune...Old Huang, come and make a divination."

Before the words were finished, Huang Banzhuang was wearing a Taoist robe and walked down with a sense of immortality, "Director, I just made a divination for Nintendo, and the divination shows that there will be noble people to help Shannei Qi in the near future, and the business will flourish."

Before he finished speaking, the thin man's communicator buzzed and vibrated. The other party took it out and glanced at it, and said, "Mr. Xu, I'm sorry, the president's emergency call."

"No problem, you take it."

After a while.

The thin man came back from the outside with a complicated expression, "Mr. Xu, James, the chairman of TEP Group, called Nintendo. He wanted to visit our company. At present, you and TEP Group are in a competitive relationship. One or two."

Xu Fei naturally understood what this meant.

On the face of it, Nintendo was willing to go to Ironhide and deny James a visit.

But in fact, any enterprise in Wajima cannot break away from the control of American capital, and Yamauchi cannot refuse James, otherwise the other party will be thrown into Tokyo Bay to feed the fish tonight in all likelihood.

Therefore, Nintendo had to cooperate with TEP Group, but Yamauchi did not want to offend Ironhide.

Xu Fei shrugged indifferently, took out the two black magnetic cards he had just obtained from the mechanical vicious dog backpack, and put them on the table, "Business competition is normal. Besides, the factory manager has an advantage, you should understand."

The thin man nodded heavily, expressing his understanding.

Nothing more than: take money to do things.

"Although you cooperate with TEP Group, you don't need to worry about what methods I use, and I don't bother to use any methods. Besides, my opponent is TEP, not you."

"Thank you Director Xu for understanding."

"Add another card, be safe."

"..."

The death of the oil king triggered a new capital reshuffle.

The companies involved are not only American companies, but also Japanese island companies, Nanbangzi companies, Nanyang companies, South American companies, South African companies, European companies, and even Ice Bear companies (the oil king has been purchasing crude oil from Ice Bear).

The fields involved are not only crude oil, but also chemicals, daily chemicals, biopharmaceuticals, armament machinery, aerospace, financial markets, etc.

The total assets of these industries, which are directly controlled, indirectly controlled, secretly controlled, or invested in shares, are as high as more than 20 trillion US dollars.

Of course, assets are not equal to cash, and the price of spot crude oil has plummeted, and total assets will shrink severely.

But these have indeed become their own, otherwise, Director Xu, who is known as Dongfanghe, would not be able to wake up smiling from his dreams.

And James spent a month resisting the joint attack of JP Morgan and the Rothschild family, defending the basic market of the oil faction, and then he must stabilize his investment in Wajima.

In particular, Wajima is a country that mainly imports energy and relies heavily on North American energy supply, and the person in charge of this project happens to be the oil faction, which is now the TEP Group.

In other words, if Ironhide wins the TEP Group in the graphics card project and kills Nvidia, ATI, AMD, etc., North America will definitely sign a new "peaceful coexistence agreement" with Ironhide to preserve the Western technology alliance .

At that time, the Iron Sheet Company will use Wajima's energy supply as a condition to lift the "shackles of Wajima". If North America agrees, we will contact Wajima secretly and come up with the blueprint that has been drawn, such as "West to Germany and North, East to North America" , It is estimated that Wajima really dares to come to Pearl Harbor again.

"This peaceful world always needs some seasoning."

After Xu Fei sent off the skinny little devil, he lay on the sofa and casually checked the current affairs news of the power bank.

The oil tycoon and his son died, and Strauss was admitted to a private hospital and never showed up again. Although no one in the capital world spoke out, they all suspected that James did it.

James was wronged and pointed at JP Morgan angrily, saying that he had enough evidence in his hand to show that the other party sent Raymond to do it.

General Raymond was besieged by microorganisms for a whole month. He couldn't eat enough, couldn't sleep well, and was still hot and panicked. He lost more than 20 catties. When he saw this news, he showed his camp angrily. Through Yahoo, Sou Fox, BBS, etc. for clarification.

James immediately showed the photos of Lei's defense personnel appearing in Beibu Gulf.

Raymond would definitely not admit it, angrily scolding James for being a thief and calling for a thief.

So the two sides launched a unique scolding war on the Internet, and even met in a cage fight.

Xu Fei thought for a while, then commented: "Stop arguing, peace makes money, I suspect Harden did it."

Lao Bu's trumpet: "I am Harden, I will not take the blame."

Everyone: "???, you are still alive?"

The army of microorganisms suddenly appeared in West Asia on a large scale. It was rumored that Harden's mechanical army suffered heavy losses. Harden fled to Persia alone, and there has been no news since then.

Some people said that Harden was dead, some people posted photos of Harden after his death, and even the NSA confirmed that Harden was dead.

Old Bu's trumpet: "I have seven dogs, you all know that."

After finishing speaking, he sent a life-saving emoji.
