Chapter 448 You can also do hardware
Just one game and hold a game manufacturer exhibition?
Is this appropriate?
Qin Feng chuckled.
"It's appropriate, why isn't it appropriate?" Qin Feng shrugged.
"We only have one game, why do people come here?" Wang Leilei was puzzled.
"Feel our corporate culture!" Qin Fengxiao said, "Don't forget, we are a student entrepreneurial team all from Tsinghua University. With this qualification alone, it is enough to stun those game bosses and make them have a hundred times more confidence in us!
"
"But when we come here, take a look, pay the bill, and leave. It only takes an hour. If this person comes from all over the world, they will scold us!" Fang Zhigang said worriedly.
"No! Just make money. As long as this game is popular, those game manufacturers will definitely come." Qin Feng said with a smile, "Besides, we can draw a blueprint! Let them know the future development of the game industry.
Then everyone creates an alliance, similar to the Intel-Microsoft Alliance!"
Lei Jun's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"You actually know about the alliance between Intel and Microsoft, it's not simple!" Lei Jun said with a smile, "Not many people in China know this word nowadays!"
Qin Feng smiled.
These days, there are few computers, and most people have no idea about computers. Nowadays, Internet cafe computers cost 4 yuan for an hour of Internet access, and in some places, even 5 yuan or 10 yuan.
How much is the salary now? How many people have access to the Internet? Qin Feng remembers that when he first saw a computer in 1995, he was amazed by "Dune Castle", but it was too expensive at the time, 5 yuan an hour.
Money, how could Qin Feng have any money at that time?
So, I sat in the computer room every day and watched people playing. I thought it was an addiction. It wasn’t until two or three months later that I had saved my pocket money, so I went to the computer room overnight.
At this time, the overnight package is 30 yuan a night, from 10pm to 8am the next morning, 10 hours, 30 yuan. Compared with the charge of 5 yuan an hour, it is undoubtedly much cheaper.
As for the computer configuration, I don’t know anything about the graphics card, sound card, motherboard, CPU, memory, etc. As for Windows, I don’t even know, but at that time, there was no Windows.
This is still a DOS system! After all, Windows has not been cracked yet. A set of genuine software costs almost 2,000 yuan. Who can afford it?
Qin Feng still remembers a joke he made. At that time, many news media were saying that win98 was on the market, and many people lined up to buy it in the early morning.
Qin Feng didn't know the price, so he went to buy it just to join in the fun. Of course, it wasn't that lively in China, but when he went in and saw it, he was frightened.
1998 yuan per set. This price made Qin Feng dumbfounded on the spot. At that time, the little money he prepared was barely enough.
It can be said that Qin Feng can already represent the state of understanding of computers by most Chinese people at that time. What's more, it is 1995, and these days, Chinese people have no idea about the Intel-Microsoft Alliance.
Lei Jun also got involved in this industry, and he only found out about it when he worked with Qiu Bojun on WPS.
Of course, the most popular thing at the moment is not WPS. Not many people use computers in this country, so naturally there are not many people using WPS.
However, no matter how many people use it, you must be aware of the changes in the IT world.
"We can also build such an alliance. After all, in the future, we are going to enter the computer industry. We also need such an alliance to consolidate our market!" Qin Fengxiao said.
"But we make games, not hardware!" Lei Jun frowned, "Is this market important? They are all businessmen, businessmen pursue profits, and they will still buy pirated copies instead of genuine ones. Because pirated copies are too cheap!
"
Currently, these arcade game baseboards are all pirated. However, in terms of piracy, it takes time to clone. Therefore, Qin Feng’s company can still make money for a while.
However, for computer games, it is just a program. No matter how you protect it, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be cracked. In this case, what is the meaning of this alliance?
"So, we can make hardware!" Qin Feng smiled.
"Ah~~~" Everyone was confused by Qin Feng's train of thought.
Making hardware? Is it such an exaggeration? No!
This is completely different!
"Don't think too much. This game will definitely be in the 3D era in the future. In the 3D era, graphics cards are necessary. We can only make graphics cards!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
You said that making a CPU or something like that requires difficulty, a lot of difficulty, but in addition to the CPU, memory, graphics cards, including the motherboard are just as difficult. This is not on the same level as the CPU.
Qin Feng will not say that making CPUs is not something he can do. Even if he has money, he can't do it. Behind AMD is the support of Saudi tycoons, and Intel is playing it to the death. Burning money is like boiling water.
Therefore, Qin Feng’s goal is the graphics card. Just make a good graphics card. This is the most critical thing and can best bring players direct sensory understanding of the game.
"This is a hardware company!" Wang Leilei exclaimed.
"Okay, as long as we don't build a CPU, the hardware is not as difficult as we thought!" Qin Feng said with a smile.
In later generations, except for the CPU, most mainstream manufacturers of all other spare parts, especially graphics cards, are almost all domestically produced.
It can be said that this itself is not a big technical problem. What's more, it is not difficult to lay out your own plans in advance. You can acquire some poorly managed and bankrupt companies in advance, such as VIA, voodoo and other companies. These are all possible and do not require
What does it cost!
Even if there is a gap in the hardware itself, through the cooperation of software, the hardware can achieve 100%, or even 120% performance.
This is the importance of drivers. But no matter how good the driver is, if it cannot match the game well, it will be useless.
"So, let's build a good relationship first. Besides, even if we don't make hardware, we still have to create battles. In the future, we can let other game manufacturers come in to participate in publishing games and create a big game exhibition. This is chargeable
, and two-way charging, charging other game manufacturers, and charging players who enter the venue. This two-way charging is also an income!" Qin Feng said with a smile, "The most important thing is that we don't need to look at people's faces.
Any good exhibition area can be our own!"
Everyone nodded when they heard the words.
"This is indeed good. Even if other game manufacturers want to resist in the future, we have been doing it for so many years. Under years of consumer habits, consumers will choose us. In that way, other game manufacturers will not be able to shake our position.
." Lei Jun said with appreciation, "I agree with this!"
