  Chitian Hirohito doesn't necessarily need the order of Zhu Yuxing to survive, but if he can sign it, he can definitely live a pretty good life.

   "How many finished circuit boards does your factory produce per day?"

   At this moment, Zhu Yuxing suddenly asked a question.

  Chitian Hirohito has long been accustomed to this problem.

He quickly sorted out his thoughts and replied: "You said the output, which must be compared with the complexity of the PCB. The more complex the PCB, the slower the production, but you can rest assured that we are deeply involved in electronics. Co., Ltd. has many high-end partners, and we can meet each other's requirements when faced with how complex and high-volume products are, so I feel at ease about the output."

   "Well, different levels of sophistication do affect yields, but you guys are really trustworthy."

  Shenda Electronics, in Zhu Yuxing's memory, the world in his previous life did not have such a large factory that made circuit boards.

   But he searched the Internet in the world, and Shenda Electronics seems to be a well-known circuit board manufacturer in the world. There are indeed many leading electronics companies and they are long-term partners.

   If, in the future, their own video game consoles require large-scale production, they can indeed do it.

   "Then, let me show you the schematic diagram of the circuit board. If you are a salesman, can you understand this thing?"

  Chitian Hirohito pondered for a moment and replied: "This... I definitely can't make it more complicated, but I can basically guess the cost and production cycle based on your circuit board schematic."

  For him, a salesman who lives in a circuit board factory, it is still necessary to simply know the picture, otherwise it would be very embarrassing if he didn't know anything about the customer's questions.

   Zhu Yuxing nodded, and then took out the basic schematic diagram of the circuit board and gave it to Hirohito Tomoda.

  A circuit board that can be made by hand is actually not very complicated.

   And the cost of imitation of this thing is also very low.

   But that's okay, this is in Japan, where wanting to use pirated items can even rise to the level of a crime.

   Take Yusei is not worried about counterfeiting at all.

   And he only intends to use this game console for a maximum of three or five years of life.

  The original red and white console plus the enhanced version, Nintendo used it to eat for eleven or twelve years before seriously starting the research and development of a new game console.

   When he came to Zhuyouxing, he planned to play all the dozens of the most classic games on the red and white machine, and then gave up decisively.

   In such an era of relatively advanced technology, he does not intend to work too much on such a slightly backward game console.

   At the beginning of making a red and white machine, on the one hand, it was a feeling, and on the other hand, it was actually a person who could make it.

   If he was allowed to make a Nintendo 64, or a game console like the WII, it would probably take him longer.

   At the very least, let the world know about games, and then develop better games.

   Looking at the schematic diagram of the circuit board that Zhu Yuxing took out, Hirohito Tomoda began to study it seriously.

  The circuit board schematic diagram of the red and white machine is not complicated, and it can even be said to be a little too simple.

Now there is a mature production line of clamshell machines in this era. The circuit boards in the clamshell machines are much more complicated than this. Moreover, the current clamshell machines have begun to have the prototype of a smart machine, but they have not been fully promoted. .

   Looking at such a simple circuit board, Hirohito Chida felt a little disappointed.

   That's right, just disappointed.

  This thing...I'm afraid the cost will be quite low.

   In this case, this order is really just a small order.

   At most, I can let my boss not scold me when he sees me.

   After a simple estimate, he felt that if they were made in their factory, the cost could be reduced to less than 600 yen.

   Just by looking at the chips soldered on the circuit board, they are already outdated products for more than ten years, and they seem to be products that were not very popular at the time.

   Now this kind of product is estimated to be piled up in the factories of many chip manufacturers, and they are worried that there is no place to sell them. I am afraid they have already begun to consider the collective destruction of these chips.

   And this thing, there is a chance to use it.

If you purchase in large quantities, the cost of the chip may be as low as 600 yen. Then, plus the average manufacturing cost of each circuit board at most 100 yen, this is really hard money. .

   However, even such an order is something he is desperate for now.

   "Takeyou-kun, I have roughly guessed, how much is your order going to produce?"

  Chitian Hirohito already had a rough idea.

If the other party proposes to produce 50,000 to 100,000 yen, he will give a price of about 900 yen, and then the two sides will negotiate a little bit, and the price will be reduced to 850 yen for the production of a circuit board, which is almost It's a pretty good result.

   And if Takeyusei intends to produce in the range of 100,000 to 200,000, he can give a minimum price of 750 yen.

   "The initial order...let's start with one million. Of course, at first, I may only be able to give a deposit, but it is impossible to give all the money. My funds also need to be withdrawn slowly."

   Zhitian Hiroren said understandingly: "Well, I understand this very well, the deposit is enough, we can talk slowly..."

   At this time, Hirohito Chida suddenly felt like he heard something wrong.

   "Hey wait, Takeyou-kun, how many circuit boards did you say you would produce?"

   "One million, what's wrong?"

   Zhu Yuxing looked at each other in confusion.

  Cough!

  Chitian Hirohito coughed violently on the spot.

one million?

   He heard right?

   Want so many boards like this, is this young man crazy?

   This game console can produce a million?

   Even if it is produced, who will it be sold to?

   An entertainment hall can have a maximum of thirty or fifty units. If you add the depreciation amount of several years, then an entertainment hall needs a maximum of fifty or sixty.

   All the entertainment halls in Tokyo are provided, that is, 50,000 units.

   If the game console is spread across the country, it is indeed possible to sell more.

   But that must be a long time too, and it also sells up to 200,000 units.

   The other party’s opening is one million.

   This has already frightened Hirohito Chida.

   "Well, you said just now that you have roughly calculated the price. I would like to ask how much is it?"

   Zhu Yuxing asked.
