Chapter 822 Monopoly?

822

The bigger the company, the more often it competes with other companies on the one hand, and on the other hand it has to use some of the competitors' products.

For example, Mickford, under the pressure of many parties, Myron Keith finally embarked on the path of supporting game development, for which he finally formed his own team.

This team is still very immature. Although there are some game developers with more senior qualifications, they are still very young.

In order to enter the development state faster, Myron Keith had to pay a large sum of money to obtain the right to use Unreal Engine.

The amount of money is almost 10 million a year, which really makes him feel a little heartbroken.

But there is no way, who made his team really not good.

If you develop your own video game engine, you will need more additional investment and expenditure. It is better to directly purchase the right to use a more mature engine.

According to the team's research, if they want to develop a game engine comparable to Unreal Engine from scratch, the investment required may exceed one billion US dollars or even more.

And this is not acceptable to Myron Keith.

At least until the games industry makes enough money.

There are not a few companies that buy the right to use the Unreal Engine with this idea, but as long as they accept the Unreal Engine and get used to the ease of use of the Unreal Engine and its powerful functions that are fully capable of developing various types of games, they will continue to use the Unreal Engine. I can't go back either.

Looking at the current Su Rui Electronics, Ueto Hayakawa has even purchased higher-end services, and once purchased, it lasts for ten years.

On Mickford's side, not only the Unreal Engine, but also the flash memory chip technology of Youxing Electronic Entertainment is used.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment is the first enterprise to develop new flash memory technology.

In its own game cartridges, in order to maintain the quality of the game cartridges and reduce costs at the same time, Youxing Electronic Entertainment uses a medium similar to optical disc storage, and at the same time combines it with traditional flash memory technology, so that it is as cheap as optical disc storage. It can also maintain a transmission speed comparable to that of a general memory card.

Moreover, Youxing Electronic Entertainment is still vigorously promoting the rapid innovation and low price strategy of flash memory technology. Many technologies are aimed at reducing costs as much as possible.

These technologies are also favored by companies in various fields, and it is also impossible for Mickford to avoid them.

In addition to being a very forward-looking person, Myron Keith is also a person who is very good at discovering various ways to reduce costs.

So even if it is a competitor's technology, even if he is unwilling, he will still use these technologies.

There are various technical patent licenses purchased from Su Rui Electronics on his desk.

Looking at the authorization of these technology patents, he felt a little headache.

Why there are so many patents related to Yuxing Electronic Entertainment.

Part of the money I earn is inevitably given to Zhu Youxing, I am really unwilling.

Thinking of Zhu Youxing, he picked up the phone and called his assistant in.

"Boss, you are looking for me."

The assistant who is almost the same age as him is Myron Case's right-hand man.

He doesn't need a vase, what he needs is someone with enough ability.

But the person he admires most should be Minoru Matsuhashi, the strong woman from Youxing Electronic Entertainment.

In his eyes, Zhu Youxing is more like an idealist, and also has the ability to have a forward-looking vision.

It is impossible to run a top-level company well by relying on these two characteristics alone.

Youxing Electronic Entertainment can grow to the present, and Matsuhashi has also contributed a lot.

If possible, he really hopes to have such a competent man as Minoru Matsuhashi.

Watching his assistant come in, he asked, "Is there anything new about Youxing Electronic Entertainment recently? I mean, apart from some cooperation projects between him and Facebook."

The assistant nodded and replied: "Yes, they have been vigorously promoting the expansion of the group of video games recently, so they have spent a lot of money."

"Still promoting the expansion of the group of video games? He doesn't have more actions on smartphones?" Myron Keith said unexpectedly.

"No, the cooperation with Facebook seems to have been only on the continuous provision of high-quality video game works, and there seems to be no further ideas."

Myron Keith felt a little relieved when he heard the news.

Okay, not too bad yet.

As long as he doesn't continue to increase his investment in smartphones, he is confident that he will continue to maintain his dominant position.

As for the handheld that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment wants to develop?

To be honest, he really didn't take it to heart.

He has severely defeated the handheld field.

And the market has proved that more people still prefer to use smartphones.

The most preferred choice for people to go out in daily life is only the smart phone, and the handheld is in the second place.

However, out of a cautious attitude, Myron Keith still asked: "What is the effect of their current publicity?"

"The effect is definitely there. Recently, the general sales of the video game market have also improved, but it is still incomparable with the smartphone field. More people will still choose smartphones."

Myron Keith said: "That's good. Next, increase the investment in hardware. The manufacturing of the second-generation chips also needs to focus on speed. The first generation did not gain an advantage, and the second generation needs to be strengthened."

The assistant nodded, and immediately wrote down in his notebook: "I understand."

"Also, can we now make breakthroughs in flash memory-related technologies?"

The assistant's pen paused, and at the same time looked up at Myron Case.

"Boss, do you want to get rid of the patent control of Youxing Electronic Entertainment?"

"That's right, we should be able to research flash memory-related technologies, right? It's always easier than our chip development."

"It is indeed simpler, but now there is a problem."

"what is the problem?"

The assistant hesitated for a while and said: "This is simply based on the existing technology development route, but almost every link of the current technology development route cannot escape the technology patent of Youxing Electronic Entertainment. Unless we develop a new flash memory Technical route, otherwise don’t even think about getting rid of it.”

"Then...is it difficult?"

"It's hard, not as simple as our chip development."

Myron Case frowned: "Isn't Yuxing Electronic Entertainment's patent a technology monopoly?"

"Unfortunately, it doesn't count. They have always been very open in terms of technology patent licensing. They can use their patented technology as long as they give money. Even competitors like us will not give additional restrictions. They don't have any The trend of technological monopoly, even if we want to use this reason to complain, it is difficult to be effective."

"Okay." Myron Keith said with a headache, "I see, so be it."
