Chapter 244 Shanzhai Workshop

Lin Ping does not expect to do all this within two or three years for the research and development of VCDs or DVDs. If the equipment progresses too quickly and does not have the appropriate copyright to apply this new technology, it will give others an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Only after having enough copyright in hand can Lin Ping release his own VCD and subsequent DVDs like a tiger!

Before the sun set in the afternoon that day, Lin Ping took out 300 million yuan as research and development funds for these three projects, as well as subsidies to all participating universities and institutions.

Domestic computers, 16-bit home game consoles, and the development of VCDs and DVDs. In later generations, these are all ordinary market consumer products.

However, these three products can drive a huge consumer market. Not to mention spending 300 million yuan, or spending 3 billion or even 30 billion yuan, there must be major breakthroughs in computer projects.

Lin Ping believes that the development of computer systems is not a very complex project in this era. The most difficult thing is whether you can win the recognition of the international market after you make these systems?

As ordinary consumers, it may not be difficult for them to accept. What is really difficult is the barriers and hostility established invisibly. If someone deliberately makes things difficult, it will be difficult for Lin Ping to believe that his products can enter thousands of households. In the era of the Internet explosion, the Western world can unscrupulously spread rumors and slander, and some even believe that 5G signals can kill them.

In this era, newspapers, television and radio dominated all public opinion orientations. It is extremely difficult for any individual to speak out, and it is too easy to spread rumors and discredit them during this period.

Just as Lin Ping was planning a new project, in the second floor maintenance room of an electronic repair center in Tokyo, a college student wearing heavy glasses was doing the legendary experiment with a game console produced by Nintendo.

"I got this game console from the agent. The agent told me carefully that as long as the underlying data on this game console is cleaned up and replaced with the underlying data of EA Games, Nintendo's game console will be fully compatible with the game cartridges produced by EA Games. Now each red and white machine produced by EA Games is priced at 31,250 yen per red and white machine. Although after the game ended, there was a random game cartridge given by randomly. However, the price was still far higher than Atari, and even the price was 10,000 yen higher than Nintendo's game console.

If the data can be replaced, I believe that Nintendo's game console will definitely be sold well. Today, it must be replaced by me. If it is really compatible with the EA game company cassette, I will give you a 'repair fee' of 50,000 yen." A player who just got the Paradise game console found his college classmate with a floppy disk in his hand.

The classmate did not care about the maintenance cost of 50,000 yen, but took the game console and directly dismantled it.

Half an hour later, the classmate wearing thick glasses took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes tiredly.

"The game console produced by Nintendo is almost exactly the same as the game consoles of EA. Although the chips on the circuit board are placed in different positions, the overall architecture is like twins. Even the chips used are exactly the same. Theoretically, the architecture is the same and the hardware is the same. As long as the underlying data is replaced, there should be no problem." After studying the hardware, the chips on the game console were directly heated and removed.

After the chip was removed, I directly took the floppy disk that contained the underlying data of the EA game console.

Insert the computer and connect the burner, and then replace the chip and start writing data inward.

Soon after more than ten minutes of operation, the chip of the data was replaced and reinstalled into the game console.

Power on, plug in, and power on.

After three steps, Super Mary's game screen suddenly appeared on the TV screen.

"It's really OK!" Seeing that the game console produced by Nintendo was successfully running Super Mary, the classmate shouted excitedly.

Seeing that the repair was successful, the classmate counted 50,000 yen while raising his lips to deceive the college classmate.

"Now you see that these two game consoles are exactly the same. Just clean up Nintendo's underlying data and replace it with EA Games' data. In this way, this game console becomes an EA's product. Although the outer packaging is different and the name is different. There is a little difference in the appearance of the game controller, but the game controller is also a cross control button, four function keys, and a pause on the main controller.

But after all, the difference between the two gaming consoles is 10,000 yen. As long as we join forces to do such a business, consumers who buy Nintendo gaming consoles can replace the underlying data, we can save these people 10,000 yen. Charging these people at that time 2,000 yen per gaming console should not be considered an excessive charge!

My uncle is an agent of Nintendo, and I can get enough supply. Then we can change the data and sell it directly with a price of 2,000 yen. Consumers can save 8,000 yuan. Now, the popular game console market is estimated to be in less than half a year. "We can become millionaires in less than half a year. "Seeing the data successfully replaced, and the two game consoles have a huge price difference, the huge price difference is a rare business opportunity. For smart people, how can they miss such a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity?

The classmate wearing glasses did not agree immediately, but hesitated for a while and said, "This matter is probably not as simple as you thought. Although I am studying electronic repair and I am not very proficient in design. However, with my level, I can still see Nintendo's design, and there is obviously deliberate imitation. Even the underlying data exchange was deliberately done by them. It is very likely that the news you got was released internally by Nintendo.

If I guess correctly, there are far more than you who get this news. Nintendo hopes that all potential consumers will know that their consoles can run EA Games’ gaming cassettes perfectly.

In this way, consumers will purchase Nintendo-produced game consoles under a huge price difference. However, the most insidious thing is that Nintendo will not bear any legal risks as a result.

From the time of its manufacture, this product is completely different from the red and white machines of EA. Whether it is the shell, color matching, the style of the handle, or even the layout on the internal circuit board of the game console. The only similarity is the functions and hardware configuration of the two game consoles. However, if you sue from this point, EA Games has no chance of winning. Just like two color TVs, after each manufacturer's color TV is disassembled, the electronic components on the circuit board are completely different. However, its functions are exactly the same.

I'm afraid no judge will rule that Nintendo has infringed on EA Games' intellectual property rights.

Replacing the underlying data at the bottom is the behavior of consumers, which has nothing to do with Nintendo. Even if EA companies go through this, they will not receive any support.

All of this is set up by Nintendo, and we can't make money from it at all because the replacement data does not have any technical content. Any home appliance repair center or electronic repair center can be replaced. "After thinking about it, the students gave a very cold reality.

Only Nintendo can really make money. Even if they discover loopholes, they cannot gain any huge benefits from it.

At most, it is just helping people change dozens of data. At that time, the entire market is filled with merchants who exchange data. I'm afraid that no one will charge 2,000 yen and 200 yen, maybe someone will do it.

After hearing the analysis of my college classmates, my mind was filled with the dream of making a lot of money, and it was instantly extinguished by someone's urine.

"But, Nintendo's production capacity is limited now. And if I can get the supply, others may not be able to get it. Even if we can only sell it for a few months, it is a considerable fee. It is far more than what you have to earn for people now." Although the classmate was a little discouraged, he once again felt his longing for the future when he thought of Nintendo's production capacity.

"How much can they produce every day now?" Hearing the lack of production capacity, it aroused some desire. If the capacity agency power of the entire Tokyo metropolis is in control, then this is indeed a good business.

"It is said that the daily production capacity is about 3,000 units, and in one month it can reach about 6,000 units. Now the production capacity of 3,000 units is distributed to 1,500 units in Tokyo, and there are two agents in Tokyo. We can get at least 700 game consoles per day. We earn 2,000 yen for each Nintendo game console. Then it will reach 1.4 million per day. As long as I can successfully make it for one month, I will have an income of 40 million yen. These incomes do not need to be paid taxes. As long as we are careful, we will never be discovered.

40 million yen, we can get half the price. I am responsible for purchasing and shipping. You are responsible for recruiting a few more people to ensure that you can help me get the data of 700 gaming consoles every day. Can it be successful? It depends on whether you dare to take risks?" You can earn 20 million yen in a month. Such a business is not available every year, every month, every day. Once you miss it, you may regret it for your whole life.

Hearing such words, the classmate wearing heavy glasses gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.

"Okay, I'll do it with you, but you have to give me 2 million yen to start. 700 game consoles are processed every day, and even if it is simply disassembled, it is a lot of work. I need to change to a safe workplace and also recruit some reliable personnel." With such a huge workload, I can only find a safe place to work. Instead of taking risks in my own workplace or even at home to do such illegal things.

EA Games is likely to have no choice but to use Nintendo, but once you catch someone like yourself, you may be inseparable from sky-high compensation.

Perhaps Nintendo hopes that people like him can quickly help them open up the market. However, EA Games may not be able to accommodate the existence of people like him in their eyes.

Seeing the classmate agreeing, the visitor happily took out a bank card.

"There are a total of 3 million yen here. We will start construction within two days. If you make one, I will settle the cost of 1,000 yuan for you immediately. No matter what price fluctuations occur in the market, I will not lower your price. I hope that the two of us can earn retirement funds in a very short time." Obviously, for such a data replacement workshop, there are at least 4 workers who dismantle and assemble. In addition, at least 6 people need to replace data, so it is very likely that this small workshop will remain between 10 and 12 people.

In other words, for every completed one, these people can get less than 100 yen on average.

Depending on the type of job, the amount of each person gets will vary. However, overall, what these people get is not huge profits!

Although there is a workload of 700 units per day, each person can earn about 70,000 yen every day. This is definitely a sky-high price for ordinary workers, but the dangers these people bear are enough to match this price.

Once captured, these people are likely to face a sentence of five to ten years.

More importantly, taking such a big risk, such a job may not be able to last for a long time.

Two or three months, or even one or two months, at most, it will not exceed half a year to a year. Such a business will have no profit, and on that day, such a small workshop will naturally have no value.

After the two of them made the layout, they began to look for suitable factories and suitable staff overnight.

After the man with glasses returned home, hesitated to see his father, and finally revealed the matter.

The man in glasses is not from Tokyo. His father's ancestors have been fishermen for generations. It was just because his father made a mistake in his hometown when he was young, which caused a boat to die. Since then, he gave up his life as a fisherman and turned back to land to work as a worker. However, he did not have many job opportunities in his hometown, so the family moved to Tokyo.

As an outsider, even if you live in a very narrow house, rent is a heavy burden.

The family has been working very hard for so many years. Now if the whole family devotes itself to this project, the father and mother can be responsible for disassembling and assembling the camera case.

You can do data burning work by purchasing three computers and burning equipment.

I have two younger brothers. With a little training, I can complete the work of removing the chip from the gaming machine and resoldering it after replacing the data.

Although there are only a family of 5, dealing with 700 game consoles is not a difficult job.

You can watch three computers alone, or even 10 computers, but there is no need to purchase so many equipment.

If the two younger brothers are not competent for the job, they can completely let the youngest brother stare at the computer, just watch the data storage, and learn it in 5 minutes of teaching.
