Chapter 69 Beyond IBM's Possibilities
If all the countries on the earth are compared to advanced and backward, wealth and poverty, the whole world is a golden tower structure.
The so-called Communist Party’s revolution in life has been suppressed more in relatively advanced and wealthy countries and is more difficult to develop.
Therefore, both the Soviet Union and China completed the transformation of socialism with a latecomer-developed backward country.
It is naturally a latecomer, and it is naturally not as advanced as developed countries in terms of technological advancement, so it will inevitably face technological blockades from other countries.
This was the case with the Soviet Union and the present China.
Whether it is the Batumi or the Wassenah Agreement, there are strict restrictions on what China can import.
Of course, it is not that you cannot buy any model of equipment, but that you strictly block the technical indicators of parts.
When Wanhu was working on electronic technology, he encountered walls almost everywhere.
As long as it is a part that you cannot make yourself, it is almost an embargo.
If the final finished product is to be sold abroad, you must obtain patent licenses for these technologies or bypass these technologies.
Although in terms of materials, China still has a long way to go.
However, with the joint efforts of relevant Chinese professionals and talents excavated from the former Soviet Union, they finally bypassed one wall after another, overtook the curve, and achieved certain achievements.
Even the relevant R&D personnel couldn't believe it would be so smooth.
However, it was so smooth.
Perhaps they have not realized that the ability of thousands of households to develop so smoothly is based on a force that they may see every day but cannot realize.
That is - Takahashi.
Because Takahashi clarifies the route of future technological development, it can guide the direction of technological development to a certain extent.
An experiment that might have to try ten thousand times before it can be successful may have been shortened with Takahashi's guidance and the scope will be shortened, and as long as it is experimented a thousand times, it can be successful.
If every experiment saves so many times, it will show a completely different scenery from quantitative change to qualitative change.
Now, the scenery of Wanhu is like this.
It is precisely because of the powerful technological explosive power of Wanhu that electronic companies in other advanced countries have begun to take Wanhu seriously for the first time.
Although Wanhu has been producing electronic components for some time before, it has always been a generational difference from the world-class level.
The generation difference of a generation actually doesn't take long to convert it into, and it will only last three to five years at most.
However, in the field of consumer electronics, three to five years of generation difference is enough to determine who consumers choose.
The advantage of Wanhu is not that they have the technology of poor generation, but that they choose specific consumer products.
To be honest, there are not many manufacturers in the world who are willing to do the handheld game console.
Of course, many companies tried it at the beginning.
But the ultra-low hardware profit margin and huge losses forced them to give up attacking this field.
Even before Sony successfully entered the home video game console, large American companies thought that Nintendo had the halo of protagonists, and only Nintendo could survive well in this field.
However, knowing that Sony breaks the deadlock.
Microsoft, which once entered the electronic game console market repeatedly, finally entered the market again with its own fierce box.
However, although the fierce box is coming in a fierce manner, its performance in Japan is ugly.
If the price is mentioned, the price of the evil box is definitely not expensive. In order to promote this hardware, Microsoft has lost billions of dollars.
However, such a bold and prosperous approach has not been recognized by Japanese players.
First, from the appearance design, the evil box looks like a bad sign and looks a bit like an urn.
In terms of the game lineup, the large number of shooting games and ball games above are not very consistent with the game preferences of Japanese players.
Of course, although it is a pity that did not contribute to the Japanese market in the end. However, with the advantages of the distribution system, the fierce box has achieved good sales in North America, South America and Europe.
It has replaced the already desolate Sega and has become a direct competitor with Sony.
Although Nintendo is still the absolute overlord in the United States, it makes many people feel that something is wrong.
To describe it in one sentence, Nintendo lives in its own world.
In fact, Nintendo has no choice but to live in his own world.
Sony has its own hardware manufacturer, and can build its own gaming consoles without the collaboration of foreign companies.
Microsoft is backed by Silicon Valley, and almost all hardware manufacturers rely on Microsoft's risk.
And what does Nintendo have?
Nintendo is just a small workshop in Kyoto.
It neither has its own hardware manufacturer nor has the strength that people look up to.
Sony can dominate the field of white goods, and Microsoft can dominate the world in computer software.
However, Nintendo only has one home court, that is, the video game market.
Although focus has the benefits of focus, when technology upgrades are needed, it often costs more than Sony and Microsoft to upgrade.
Now, the man who once said that if PS was sold for more than one million units, he would use his head to walk, that is, Hiroshi Yamauchi.
Already in a semi-retired state.
All the huge things in the company have been handed over to Satoshi Iwata.
Satoshi Iwata has his own love for video games.
Therefore, he also has his own set of methods for the management of the company.
Nintendo has more than 3,000 employees, each of them knows their names, and they can correspond to them, and also knows the basic situation of each person.
I even have to try to have a face-to-face communication with everyone recently.
His style is slowly changing the entire Nintendo atmosphere.
However, Satoshi Iwata still faces huge difficulties in product design.
When he got the mobile phone that Wanhu had already sold in bulk, Iwada Satoshi's hands were trembling slightly.
It’s not because he is afraid of thousands of households or this product.
But he suddenly discovered that Nintendo was so far away from Wanhu, a latecomer.
Satoshi Iwata and Takahashi are practitioners who entered the electronics industry in the same era. His original ambition was to build a company that surpassed ibm.
However, although he is now the nominal president of Nintendo, can Nintendo be as good as ibm?
I'm afraid it's not impossible.
However, Iwada Satoshi saw the opportunity and possibility of Wanhu surpassing ibm from this mobile phone of Wanhu.
