   Chapter 610 New Host

  609

   The final result of this creative workshop is a great success.

   Regardless of the surge in the number of concurrent players, the interest in game development has rapidly increased to a new level after this time.

   Take Yuxing felt that he could look forward to the development of interesting games by these talented people.

   He has always wanted to play more interesting games.

   But this kind of thing can be done slowly. After the preliminary work of the creative workshop is completed, the rest can be completely left to the department of the Battle.net platform to handle it himself, and he does not need to participate in anything.

   And now he has another thing to focus on, and that is the development of the latest game console.

   After arranging the battle.net platform by yourself, the development of the new console has come to the late stage.

   "Bamboo Tour, this is our final version of the game console. We have also negotiated the price with chip manufacturers. 100 million chips will be provided continuously within five years, and the price can be reduced to $270 per chip."

   Airi Hayazawa stood next to Take Yusei, who was holding the controller to experience the new console, and introduced the features of this new game console carefully to Take Yusei.

   Now, some key technologies of game consoles have been realized, so the rest is stacking performance, which makes game development more convenient and game production more convenient.

   After hearing Airi Hayasawa's introduction of the purchase price of the chip, Take Yuxing just hummed and continued to experience the latest console seriously.

   This time, the latest console has the performance close to PS4, and the performance of the original game console has been improved by a small amount.

   This is thanks to today's very experienced hardware development team.

   Now these people are top talents with more than ten years of experience in game console development.

   Any of these people who are outsiders can become guests of other game manufacturers.

   Especially Surui Electronics, they drool every day staring at Yuxing Electronics Entertainment's hardware and game development team.

   They also threw olive branches to these people more than once to invite them to join Surui Electronics.

   But most of them refused without hesitation, and a few were a little moved. After all, the salary was really high, but in the end, most of them still held back and did not leave.

  Because Youxing Electronic Entertainment has stayed for many years, the benefits given by Youxing Electronic Entertainment are also quite generous.

  I am so used to this kind of environment, it is not necessarily really good to go to a new environment for the extra money.

   There are also some suggestions from the wives of their respective families.

   The families of these people are now very harmonious and happy.

   Youxing Electronic Entertainment has always had no overtime policy. You can go to work and work happily every day. After returning, you can chat happily with your wife and children about the day’s work, which is very relaxing.

  In the society of Japan, the company Yuxing Electronic Entertainment is like an outlier.

  A lot of people are really trying to get in now, if they really want to leave, they are really crazy.

   Their respective wives also strongly discouraged their husbands from being reckless. For the sake of the extra salary, if they are not happy at work, it is actually better to continue working here.

   Youxing Electronic Entertainment is not about to go bankrupt, and Yuxing Electronic Entertainment has been thriving.

   Only a small number of people who prefer to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail will choose to go to some small companies. As for how they did after switching jobs, no one knows, at least none of them became famous after leaving Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

   Take Yuxing's response to the price of this new chip was mediocre, and Airi Hayazawa couldn't help it.

   "Bamboo Tour, don't you think the price is a bit high? The price of the chip is $270, and the entire production cost will probably reach the price of nearly $400, which is far more than any host product we have developed before."

Take Yuxing said casually: "There's nothing wrong with it, this time the new game console development is what I require to achieve such picture quality, and in order to achieve such picture quality, it is acceptable to have a higher price, Songqiao , if it's a $270 chip, can we probably end up with a retail cost of around $399?"

   At this moment, Matsuhashi is also having a remote video conference with Take Yusei.

   Hearing Take Yusei's question, Matsuhashi frowned and began to think.

  The production arrangement is not her responsibility, but she is now quite experienced, and she can basically infer the approximate actual retail price based on the manufacturing price of the chip.

   "At $399, I'm afraid we'll have a small loss, probably around $10 to $20."

   "Well, that means that the first year of sales must be at a loss?"

   "That's right, but the price of subsequent chips will definitely decrease, which can gradually make up for the cost loss of the first year in the follow-up."

   Zhu Youxing waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter, the initial loss of ten or twenty dollars for this machine is nothing. I can still afford this amount of money, so let's set the price at 399."

Matsuhashi also hesitated at this time and then said: "President, last time Suri Electronics planned to price its host at this price, and the final response was obvious, players did not buy it, they didn't like this game. For a high-priced game console, isn’t the price we sell at 399 a bit too high?”

   Zhu Youxing nodded: "It is indeed a bit high, but it is not a big problem. We are still very different from Suri Electronics."

   "President, I think you need to be cautious. Players' feedback is very important. If they hate this exorbitant price, sales will be seriously affected."

   Zhu Yuxing didn't particularly care and said: "Don't worry too much about this, I know what to do in my heart."

"OK then."

   Seeing that persuasion didn't have much effect, Matsuhashi stopped insisting.

   Youxing Electronic Entertainment is indeed not bad at this loss, but she is still a little worried that this excessive price will cause players to rebound strongly.

  The support of players is the lifeblood of Yuxing Electronic Entertainment. If many players are turned away because of excessive prices, it is actually not worthwhile.

Airi Hayazawa suddenly said at this time: "Zhuyou, in fact, we can still reduce the price of some game consoles. For example, if we sacrifice the compatibility of some game consoles and abandon some of the support for the old game architecture, we can save more money. At an average cost of around $50, it’s actually a good deal.”

"That's right, President, I think so too. In fact, there are very few players in old games. Most players now prefer games with cooler graphics in this era. Those old games really shouldn't be continued. support."
