Three days later, in Lehui company’s headquarters in Haidian, Imperial.

To Chen Zhao, it was a short journey, so he arrived at the agreed time.

Someone led Chen Mo to the president’s office.

Zhou Jiangping was busy. When he saw Chen Mo, he immediately put down his work and stood up.”h.e.l.lo, President Chen.”

Chen Mo shook his hand.”h.e.l.lo, director Zhou. I’ve heard a lot about you.”

The two chatted for a while, and Zhou Jiangping’s Secretary poured Chen Zhao some tea before leaving.

Chen Mo sipped his tea and said,”director Zhou, we’re both pragmatic people. We’re both busy, so let’s keep it short.” The main reason I’m here is to cooperate with you to develop a handheld game console. ”

“A handheld game console?” Zhou Jiangping was stunned.

Chen Mo nodded.

Zhou Jiangping was a little surprised.

Obviously, as a mobile phone R & D Company, he was very familiar with the current state of the mobile phone industry. He was also very clear about the technological level of mobile phones.

Handheld game consoles were a compet.i.tor for cell phones, but they were already out of use. Why did Chen Mo want to make handheld games?

Obviously, Zhou Jiangping wasn’t in the gaming industry, and he was usually busy, so he didn’t know about the controversy caused by Chen Mo’s point in cla.s.s.

Zhou Jiangping instinctively wanted to tell Chen Mo about the current state of the handheld devices, but on second thought, it was all common sense. As an S-grade video game designer, how could Chen Mo not know about these things?

Clearly, Chen Mo had his own reasons for wanting to make a handheld device.

“Mr. Chen, why don’t you tell us your requirements for this handheld device?” Zhou Jiangping asked after some thought.

Chen Mo came prepared and took out a USB from his pocket.””This contains some of the design concepts of this handheld phone. You can take a look.”

Zhou Jiangping inserted the USB into his computer and opened the design doc.u.ment inside.

“Switch?” he was stunned.”This handheld device is called … Switch?”

Chen Mo nodded.

Switch had many meanings in English, but the main meaning was switch and conversion.

This name was actually very appropriate, and it was very beneficial in pushing this product to the International market. The biggest feature of the switch was that it was both portable and home. It could freely switch between a mobile phone and a home phone.

Zhou Jiangping looked at the design doc.u.ment Chen Mo gave him seriously.

Chen Mo hadn’t written down all the features of switch clearly. Some of the concepts were even written vaguely on purpose. This was because he hadn’t reached a specific agreement with Zhou Jiangping yet, and he didn’t trust le Hui that much.

However, in order to give Zhou Jiangping a more basic understanding, some key features were written out, such as the Switch’s approximate size, configuration requirements, price, key settings, and so on.

Moreover, Chen Mo even drew out the finished product of the switch, showing the positions of the b.u.t.tons and the related parts.

Zhou Jiangping frowned.

Chen Mo’s design doc.u.ment didn’t completely convince Zhou Jiangping.

It was clearly written in the design doc.u.ment that the highlight of the machine was that it could play games on both the mobile phone and the TV.

However, what was the use of being able to freely switch between mobile phone and TV mode at the same time? There was a mobile phone for all the portable devices, and there was a PC and a VR gaming pod at home. All of these seemed to be in conflict with the positioning of this mobile phone.

However, some of the specific b.u.t.ton designs were more novel to Zhou Jiangping, including the design of the left and right joysticks, and more than ten physical b.u.t.tons. The distribution was very reasonable and in line with ergonomic design.

It was obvious that Chen Mo had put a lot of thought into this design.

One thing Zhou Jiangping was sure of was that this mobile phone would improve the game’s operational ability much more than a mobile phone. It might even be on a completely different dimension.

“With the current level of our country’s technology, there shouldn’t be any problems making this phone, right?” Chen Mo asked.

Zhou Jiangping nodded,”yes, from a technical point of view, there shouldn’t be any difficulty.” First, I’ll introduce you to the basic process of domestic cell phone OEM. ”

“First, we’ll talk about the basic design concept of cell phones. This is usually given by us, and some professionals will design it. Of course, if it’s a peripheral product, we’ll also find a professional designer to design it. ”

“The so-called proposal company is actually a cell phone proposal company. They are very familiar with the various accessories and designs of cell phones and can quickly find solutions to some problems.”

“After we’ve designed and developed this cell phone, we’ll hand the relevant plans to the OEM for ma.s.s production. This is also one of the current mainstream models. For example, some manufacturers in Europe and the United States often entrust the production to China, Southeast Asia, South America, and other regions with lower labor costs for production. ”

“In this aspect, the cell phone industry has already formed a rather complete set of rules and processes. It can be said that a large number of people in the country are doing concept and marketing for cell phones.

“As long as you can get people to buy it, as long as you can find a marketing channel, then even people who don’t know the technology at all can make cell phones.”

“The mobile phone you’re making now should be following this process. In my opinion, the biggest difficulty lies in two aspects. ”

“The first question is how much this model of the mobile phone can be sold for, and how much money you are willing to invest in it. If it’s to get investments, it might be very difficult because this idea might not be accepted by the investors. ”

“The second is some of the components of this phone, which are currently not available on the market. It wasn’t like a mobile phone, which could be pieced together easily. These parts that aren’t available on the market all need to be made separately, and it’ll be difficult to control the quality in this area. ”

“Of course. In the end, it’s all about money. As long as the money is in place, everything can be discussed.”

Chen Mo laughed,” There’s no upper limit to the amount of money, you can think too much. I don’t plan to get any investments. I’ll pay for it myself. ”

Zhou Jiangping looked at Chen Mo’s relaxed expression and was secretly surprised.

She had heard that Chen Zhao never hesitated when it came to spending money. It seemed to be true.

For some other listed companies, even the president couldn’t spend it however he wanted. They often had financial pressure and had to look at the Board of Directors ‘faces.

However, Chen Zhao was different. All his money was his. He could spend it however he wanted. No one would have any objections.

“Mr. Chen, can you tell us the price of this phone?” Zhou Jiangping asked.

“Within 2500,” Chen Mo said.”I’d like to set the price at 1999,2333, or 2499. As for the specific price, it still depends on how much the cost can be controlled, but I definitely hope the price is as low as possible. ”

“The price isn’t high, mainly because handheld phones aren’t like cell phones. You don’t need to consider calls and other functions. It’s entirely for the game, so the hardware utilization will be very high. Director Zhou should be able to understand this very well, right?”
