These are the core components of transformers, stepper motors, control circuits, and claw machines.

Technically speaking, it is not difficult to realize the function of catching dolls, but for newly established ten thousand households, this is also a rare technical accumulation.

These companies that make electronic games in Japan now actually have technical genes. Nakamura Production, the predecessor of Namco, developed Atari arcade substrates in reverse to produce the sensational Pac Man.

As Atari's RB agent, Taidong Company researched unsold arcades and produced the world-spreading "Space Invaders".

As for Hudson, who worked in Takahashi, he was able to become a giant in the industry through marketing because of his previous experience in making computer software.

For example, Nintendo, who is not good at technology, can only seek cooperation everywhere and use mature and old technologies to continue to survive in the electronic game industry.

It is basically impossible to rely on external forces to build tens of households. Reverse R&D can be done, but now there are few relevant talents. Therefore, he can only focus on the research and development, and he is not a technical maniac who can make arcades with bare hands overnight. Although he has excellent game creativity, he also needs enough hardware to support this creativity.

In the first week of the assembly workshop, a total of ten claw machines were assembled. However, as the assembly workers become more and more proficient, the production capacity is also slowly climbing, and it is estimated that it will reach 30 in the second week.

Although Takahashi wants to put all his experiences on research and development, he has no such conditions at all.

The company is like a giant monster that has not seen much output yet, but it has invested a lot. If you want to see the dawn of profit, you have to spend money and then spend money.

Where does the money come from? Of course, we can only come from Takahashi.

The first batch of claw machines have begun to operate. This novel game method has indeed attracted many people to play.

In addition, Japan's economy is now rising rapidly as if it has taken medicine, and ordinary people don't care about the little money they spend on catching dolls.

The Northeast Gang quickly returned the cash with several claw machines in his hand and also won the profit. The boss of the Northeast Gang did not think about playing tricks on the payment of goods, and immediately gave the money to Takahashi.

With the return of funds, the entire fund becomes a complete chain.

The response from the game magazine is also pretty good. It is almost sold throughout the Tokyo Circle. Agents from other places have also begun to contact ten thousand households and seek regional agency rights.

However, although it looks prosperous and has a good profit, it does not have the huge profits you imagine. A large part of the group who buys electronic game magazines are children with limited consumption power and most games can only be enjoyed.

They may not be sensitive to the quality requirements of the magazine's paper, and they may not be able to stand it even if the content is poor, but they are extremely sensitive to the selling price.

Game magazines are originally a fight for food with comic magazines. Comic magazines are so thick and cheap, and the original position is so stable. If game magazines want to grab food from them, they must be cheap, and they must be cheap.

Besides, Takahashi actually doesn’t want to make much money from magazines. On the one hand, running magazines is to train the existing personnel to accumulate energy, and on the other hand, to gain the right to speak.

Making money is short-term benefit, and selling more and having more say is long-term benefit.

Ignoring short-term interests will immediately die, and paying too much attention to short-term interests and neglecting long-term interests is tantamount to drinking poison to quench thirst.

Therefore, for a company that wants to continue working for a long time, weighing short-term and long-term interests is also a very important issue.

Fortunately, Takahashi's writing skills are already full in Hudson, so even if other contributors are unable to use them, the magazine can be successfully launched one issue after another.

However, today Takahashi was neither writing a manuscript nor competing with circuit diagrams. Today he came to the headquarters of Tokyo University of Technology in Kurome District, where he was looking for the technical talents he wanted.

Although in later Japanese cartoons, the so-called clubs were similar to the protagonists' harems. However, in Tokyo universities in 1985, most clubs were still very dynamic and competitive in their respective fields.

For example, the hal Institute where Iwata Satoshi is now located is derived from the university club where he lives.

If Takahashi wants to find outstanding talents with fewer interests in all aspects, he has to come to the university to find them.

However, it is fortunate that although Japanese companies now value college students, they are not as crazy as they are in the era.

Although Takahashi's capital is not strong enough, he has the people-friendly that large enterprises lack and the ideals of being close to ordinary employees.

If these two weapons are used well, I believe that they can gather good talents.

"Dongdong, hello is this a computer club?" Takahashi knocked on the door first and asked.

"Yes, come in." said the man in blue work clothes.

Takahashi walked into this computer without even being placed, looking around with a pungent smell. This computer club is different from the traditional concept of computer clubs that swing programs. Here is a study of computer hardware.

"Are you?" asked the blue work clothes and took off his mask.

"I am Takahashi, and I have contacted the president of the Takahashi before." Takahashi handed the business card with both hands.

"Gao...qiao? Oh! I remembered it! You are the one who plays games on TV. President! Someone is looking for him!" He shouted to the back, and the president who was lying on the table and drawing the drawings stood up when he heard this.

Repeat the process of handing over a business card above.

"You mean let's help your company and develop a gaming arcade substrate?" The president said with interest after listening to Takahashi's narrative.

For these technology-loving people, it is not an exaggeration to say that the substrate of gaming arcades is the pinnacle of civilian computers they can access now.

For college students who have not yet left campus, pursuing their dreams to realize their self-worth is far more important than making money. Therefore, when they hear the development of arcade substrates, their eyes emit light.

"This is the substrate copywriting I wrote." Takahashi distributed the substrate copywriting from his bag to several technical guests around him. "The development idea of ​​this substrate may be different from the idea of ​​a game and a model substrate on the market. I want to implement a modular substrate. It is like an ibm compatible machine. You can upgrade wherever the performance is insufficient. However, the technical difficulty of making such a substrate may be a bit high. My idea is to first develop a simple version with poor performance, and then gradually upgrade the performance of the substrate through iterative upgrade."

Several technical mates showed contemplation in their eyes.

"Using the standard system of ibm?" asked a technical mate.

Takahashi shook his head.

"Design a set of system standards yourself?" the technician asked tentatively.

Takahashi nodded.
