Chapter 355: Handheld Game Console Release
The production line for the Pokémon handheld game console has been successfully completed.
This production line cost nearly 10 million US dollars and embodied countless efforts. It was finally completed after the efforts of everyone at Qingdao Publishing House.
At this stage, the country is vigorously developing the economy and the research and development of core equipment, and the amount of foreign exchange required is increasing.
It is extremely difficult to use foreign exchange to purchase advanced semiconductor production lines abroad.
If the movie Zerg Invasion had not earned Qingdao Publishing House nearly $4 million,
Before seeing the benefits,
The city bureau leaders would definitely not agree to spend huge sums of money to purchase such an expensive production line.
Of course, the prospects reported by Jiang Weimin also played a key role.
Moreover, Jiang Weimin has never failed in anything he has done in the past, and he has this powerful halo effect.
Furthermore, even if the product sales are not good, it is not difficult to make a profit thanks to the powerful IP of Pokémon.
Based on these factors, the city leaders held a meeting to discuss the issue as a formality and successfully approved the procurement plan.
Of course, the nearly 10 million yuan spent on purchasing equipment does not include the cost of the lithography machine.
The lithography machine is assembled by a technical team based on existing technology.
Fortunately, it has not been too long since the lithography machine project was disbanded, otherwise reassembling the professional team would undoubtedly be a huge challenge.
After the assembly of the lithography machine was completed, the technical team has been working non-stop on the research and development of the latest generation of lithography machines.
Everyone in the R&D team was excited. They thought they might not be able to witness the rise of China's semiconductor industry in their lifetime.
With the stagnation of semiconductor industry projects, these talents who returned from studying abroad with the ambition to serve the country have no place to use their talents.
However, the olive branch extended by Qingdao Publishing House rekindled their hope.
In sharp contrast to Qingdao, which has a strong demand for labor, other cities have been shrouded in a wave of layoffs.
Many of these technicians have gradually moved away from important positions. Although they can barely make ends meet, their income is not high.
But when they heard that Qingdao Publishing House was determined to continue to delve deeper into the field of lithography machines, they all took the initiative to apply for transfer.
Even many technicians who have held important positions in their original units were inspired after visiting the factory and laboratory of Qingdao Publishing House.
After careful consideration, even though the leaders of their original unit tried their best to retain them and refused to let them go, they resolutely chose to resign and go to Qingdao Publishing House.
The enthusiastic participation of so many professional talents is mainly due to the strong strength of Qingdao Publishing House demonstrated in all aspects by Jiang Weimin, as well as the clearly planned subsequent development direction.
Qingdao Publishing House's development strategy is to start with game chips and use the powerful driving force of the market economy to promote the steady development of the semiconductor industry.
It gradually expanded to decoding chips for televisions and VCDs, then to pager phone chips, PHS chips, and finally to computer chips. Of course, some key development directions will not be discussed in detail.
More importantly, Qingdao Publishing House is wealthy and powerful. Even if a certain proportion of the profits are handed over, the amount of funds retained will still be considerable.
Although they are all in RMB, these funds are almost impossible to use up due to the strong purchasing power of RMB in the country.
In addition to the continuous construction of houses, headquarters buildings, amusement parks, and film and television cities, most of the funds can be invested in research and development.
After years of dedicated research, Qingdao Garment Factory has achieved outstanding results in fabric materials.
As long as the fabric is available in the world, Qingdao garment factories have the ability to accurately imitate it.
The down jacket project proposed by Jiang Weimin has also produced results, which is a significant advantage brought by state support and abundant funds.
As long as you have innovative ideas and look for them carefully, you will definitely find them in China, a country with vast land and abundant talents.
Today, with the help of the semiconductor team, the research and development of toy equipment has moved towards a semi-automatic mode, and programmable CNC machine tools have also taken shape.
Of course, we are still in the stage of learning from and imitating foreign CNC machine tool models, but even so, the funds are still more than enough.
After intensive procurement and bidding, equipment installation and debugging, an integrated circuit production line with a monthly output of 5 was successfully built.
When operating at full capacity, output will be even higher.
In just two months, 10 Pokémon game consoles were successfully produced and shipped all over the world along with the comic books.
This game console is priced at US$50 overseas and RMB 50 in China.
The first generation of Pokémon game consoles only have exploration, collection and development functions, and the battle function is still under development and is planned to be officially launched on the second generation console.
The production capacity of 10 units is really limited. Only 1 units were allocated domestically. When further subdivided into major cities, the number is even smaller. They were sold out on the first day of listing.
The overseas market is also in short supply. In just one month after its launch, Qingdao Publishing House received 800 million orders, with an order value of 4 million yuan, and the number of orders is still growing.
Such amazing sales results are largely due to Qingdao Publishing House's sales channels all over the world.
Driven by strong market demand, Qingdao Publishing House decided to further expand its production scale and add more production lines.
Recruit more employees to meet the continuous demand for orders.
