Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 366 "Subscribe at the end of the month"

   For the research and development of consoles, these days, as long as game companies can fully understand the core technology inside, and change a vest, they can become their own.

   Of course, a complete copy, without a bit of your own, is definitely not acceptable.

   Shanzhai, ahem, borrowing is for reference, but after borrowing, we have to figure out our own core technology, only by distinguishing it from others, so that we will not be prosecuted.

  Sega and Nintendo and other game companies, because of jealousy, they have been involved in infringement lawsuits. Thinking of this, Yang Chen wondered if he should quickly apply for a patent for the G&B shape design.

   Especially the cross key, if it is successful, those games that are not authorized can not use the game cross key.

  Patents are sometimes really rough. All kinds of things can be patented in later generations. If people don’t pay attention, they will infringe all kinds of things.

  Thinking of this, Yang Chen felt that his company had to set up a patent department, and no matter what he researched, he would apply for a patent.

   Taking Qualcomm as an example, all kinds of patent fees are received softly, and it is refreshing to think about it.

   After half an hour of meeting, Yang Chen immediately announced the meeting.

   There is nothing to say, the specific integration plan, when the time comes, the general managers of several big game factories will write a special report and hand it to him.

   Agreed, you can start adjusting the production line.

   These things, he, a big boss, doesn't need to care at all, Yang Chen didn't leave, and started to inspect the game factory here.

   There are two big game companies in Libei with thousands of people. This is one of them. The general manager is Shang Liang. Yang Chen is a little depressed about this general manager who is about to become his subordinate.

   Let’s put it this way, in the words of our later generations, this general manager Shang belongs to a typical science male with a technical background. Among many general managers, he is the only one who has climbed from the bottom to the position of general manager relying on technology. The management level is not bad.

   In short, it’s okay.

  This factory has also received orders from Nintendo, and among the many game factories in Wanwan, it is the one with the most orders and has not been affected by the ban at all.

The reason why    was acquired by HSBC was mainly because the owner of this factory had no confidence in the game market.

   The other party discovered early on the chaos in the American game market, and the Japanese market was too competitive. Originally, Wanwan was a good development base, but the ban on the above paper directly closed the Wanwan market.

   After thinking about it, the owner of this factory wanted to get out early, not asking for a lot of money, but just to recover the capital.

   For this reason, HSBC also made a special call to ask Yang Chen. With Yang Chen's nod, the factory finally fell into his hands.

   The reason why he acquired this factory was not because Yang Chen had good intentions and wanted to help the boss out of trouble.

   Mainly because General Manager Shang Liang, who is with him now, led someone to thoroughly understand the core parts of Nintendo's G&W game console, and also got a copycat version of the console.

This time, it can be regarded as solving the big problem on the Xiangjiang side, and greatly shortening the development time of the handheld computer on the Xiangjiang side. Originally, Yang Chen wanted to transfer the general manager Shang to Xiangjiang to preside over the next development of the handheld computer. .

  However, what made Yang Chen dumbfounded was that the general manager was unwilling to go to Xiangjiang.

   And, for good reason, and powerful.

   In short, in short.

   This guy is not only a technical man, but also a standard technical nerd. Yang Chen doubts how the other party's general manager can become the general manager.

  Because the whole family is here, they are used to living and don’t want to move, so this big guy is reluctant to go to Xiangjiang.

  If he was forced to go to Xiangjiang, he would just choose to resign and quit.

   Skilled people. No worries about not having a job anywhere. This is the kind of stubborn stubble in later generations who likes to fire the boss at every turn.

   Such an awesome employee, Yang Chen has nothing to say, he must be dismissed from his post, and he will be the general manager to the end.

   Of course, the dark-hearted Boss Yang will definitely not let him go home and eat him until he has drained the last bit of sweat from the other party.

  According to Boss Yang's intention, people with this kind of technical background should go into technology and become general managers if they have nothing to do. Next, Yang Chen will hand over the research work on arcade machines and home machines in Wanwan to this manager Shang.

   Yes, the other party is still the manager, but not the general manager, but the manager of the host development department.

  Wanwan will do research and get it to Xiangjiang for production. If Wanwan doesn't care about his investment in the inland, then it can also be directly produced here.

   With a single mouth, Yang Chen could sense that the manager who was demoted by him was definitely a technical nerd.

   Before the new manager of the factory was elected, Shang Liang had to take a part-time job as general manager to introduce the factory situation to the inspecting boss Yang.

   Shang Liang is not uncomfortable with the boss who dismissed his post right away. He is a manager anyway, and the general manager of the next few game factories will also have the word “general” erased.

   Who will be the real general manager, then see who Yang Chen likes, anyway, he has already been brushed down in the first round.

Fortunately, I got a position as the manager of the host development department. Not only did the salary not drop, but the salary was doubled on the original basis. I didn't have to manage thousands of people every day, a bunch of troublesome things, and I could do my favorite job with peace of mind. , Shang Liang's heart is full of joy, that's called a comfort.

   On the way, Yang Chen just looked at it and didn't ask. Although Shang Liang didn't like to talk much on weekdays, he was a general manager after all, and a bunch of data came out of his mouth.

   is concise and clear, people can understand it as soon as they hear it, and there is no need for Yang Chen to ask more.

With a talent like   , Yang Chen feels that it is much better for the other party to do their own work than to manage the company.

   Moreover, the salary of the employees in the development department will be greatly increased after Yang Chen takes over.

   Later generations, don’t we often mention that technology is the primary productive force?

   This research and development is the top priority. There is no problem with the bottom-level employees digging as much. If they are not enough, they will be recruited again.

But the R&D personnel are different. One less person means the loss of a talent. The reason why Atari collapsed so quickly and has no chance to re-emerge in the future is because it does not pay attention to the R&D personnel. Outside companies are poaching too many talents.

  Without R&D talents, how to upgrade the host? How to keep up with the times?

   Therefore, in terms of R&D personnel, there are lessons from the former, coupled with the example of later Internet companies, Yang Chen naturally dare not ignore it.
