The first cooperation call came earlier than Nick expected. Nick was born and raised in the United States. When he was a child, he never saw the story of going to Bodhi Patriarch to learn skills at the middle of the night. However, in a company dominated by Chinese people, under the influence of such corporate culture, Nick gradually learned what implicitness is.

There is a saying that it’s impossible to make a deal.

If Wanhu develops a set of drivers for personal computers, they will sell them everywhere, even if there will be any company that makes computer games in the last six months, it will be a different story.

Because you, Wanhu, used to make console games and handheld games, you said that your driver is so powerful, so why don’t you make computer games yourself?

Before anticipating this kind of question, Nick directly "fished" by selling the game. If a fish has spirituality, it would be a bait.

If a fish gets hooked, I think the bait is good and not salty. Is it still slow for other fish to hook?

Making some money is a trivial matter. Nick knows some Takahashi's plans and knows that Takahashi plans to develop display standards on a personal computer in the future.

Now the most oversized display performance of computers is games. In this case, as long as American computer game manufacturers are fought over, Wanhu will have the right to speak on the issue of setting standards. If we do not do this, Wanhu will have no possibility of participating in setting standards.

Someone may ask the benefits of setting standards. Is it worth it to be so hard and laborious?

Nick's answer is worth it.

Why do so many Japanese companies always make some weird and weird standards that are not the mainstream market? For example, Sony can even be described as enjoying it.

It is because mastering the standards is equivalent to mastering the "channel" in the distribution of electronic games. Other manufacturers relying on this "channel" must follow the rules and regulations of this standard and provide to standard makers.

Even if it is not supplied, upstream companies as standard-setting companies can better sell their own equipment that meets the standards.

Just like Takahashi asked Nick to start laying out now, just to promote his own graphics card on his personal computer on the day when Wanhu's graphics card was successfully developed.

If we waited until the day of research and development, ten thousand households wanted to set standards. At that time, the so-called standards might have been controlled by large companies such as Microsoft. At that time, ten thousand households were controlled by others.

As the so-called first-class enterprises set standards, perhaps the graphics cards that tens of thousands of households have worked hard to make can actually make more money than Microsoft, which can earn a price and a protection fee.

The strategic intention of Takahashi-joining computer game manufacturers is just like China was carried into the United Nations by third world countries and Asian, African and Latin America countries. Although individual computer game manufacturers are weak, joining forces together is also a force that cannot be underestimated.

Computer games are different from other industries. Microsoft has tried it several times, but it has no way to use its own power to enter the airtight field of computer games.

It’s not that Microsoft is mediocre, but Microsoft’s increasingly large corporate structure and increasingly bloated bureaucratic system. For an ordinary cooperative project, it will take at least half a year to discuss it. The game really starts to be produced, and it may take more than two years.

You should know that the tastes of the electronic game market have changed very rapidly. In two years, the previous advanced design may have been eliminated.

An old antique game experience, it is impossible to get praise from players if you want to use your butt.

Why can Microsoft's other products withstand such a long cycle? It is because other products pursue stability.

Although, Microsoft's operating system has not been blue screen at the press conference once or twice...

"Well, yes, the authorized price for each universal driver copy is fifty cents. Yes, fifty cents." Nick repeated the price again.

Because Wanhu pursues the popularity of universal drivers among computer game manufacturers, the charging price of a single copy can be described as "cheap".

In the United States in the 1990s, what can fifty cents do? It costs two dollars to eat a decent burger.

After confirming, the boss asked for some other instructions. He said he would first purchase 100,000 sets of universal driver software authorization.

The company where the boss works has generally sold between 10,000 and 20,000 copies. The market has been relatively good recently, and the games they have made are more in line with the taste of players. Only then did they produce a popular product with sales of over 100,000.

Although the sales volume exceeds 100,000, it doesn’t seem to be much. In this era, the sales volume of the console platform exceeded 100,000, and I dare say that it has not been completely slaughtered. Even if it is on the GG handheld machine of ten thousand, the sales volume exceeds 100,000, it can only be said to be at the level of the middle and lower reaches.

However, the capacity of the computer game market is so large. Including the factors of pirated and cracked, the sales volume exceeds 100,000. There will be at least 500,000 people who play games.

A game has a audience of 500,000, which is a success for a game company with less than ten people.

The 100,000 copies purchased by the boss is the number of copies that a game will use based on the fact that the next game continues to sell well.

He believed in Simpson's vision, because Simpson's programming level was also a top-notch among the crowd.

Although writing drivers are boring, they are really not something that ordinary people can do.

Therefore, the boss took the floppy disk of Wanhu's "The Legend of the Martial Arts and Heroes" and stared at it, wondering where Wanhu found such a powerful programmer who could actually write such an excellent driver.

Is there such an excellent programmer in Japan?

In fact, Japan does not.

The programming level of programmers in Japan is ranked among the top five worldwide. It sounds nice, mainly because most countries do not have industries that can support programmers.

In the late 1970s, Japan made efforts in the electronic game industry throughout the 1980s. First, it relied on the development of its own electronic industry, but grasped the pulse of the times.

But just like Hudson's signature programmer Shinichi Nakamoto, it actually becomes a level and is definitely not top-notch.

There are also top programmers, but there are definitely not many.

Even Satoshi Iwata, the director of the HAL Institute, which is now the second party of Nintendo, is the director of "Star Kirby", which he leads the production of "Star Kirby", because of the special compression algorithm he wrote, the content and picture quality of the game with the same cassette capacity is greater than that of other manufacturers.

However, there is only one Iwada Satoshi in the entire Nintendo.

How could there be a second one in ten thousand households?

The top programmers of Wanhu came from the former Soviet Union and from the Moscow Computer Center.

The combat power of the fighting nation is beyond your imagination.
