148: Sugon F1 mobile phone conference!
"The number of games whose development has been completed is 33, of which 7 are enhanced versions and 26 are original versions. However, 7 of these 26 are original versions of the enhanced games.
Currently, there are 41 teams porting games to mobile phones, and 8 teams are adapting games into enhanced versions."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen nodded slightly, then sighed and said,
"It's a pity that the successfully ported games and the enhanced versions are all general-level games from the first batch of 64 games that received exclusive mobile game agency rights, so the boost they can provide isn't as high as imagined."
Ni Guangnan also offered words of comfort:
"While that's true, it also means that many of these games are completely new to players, and even the original versions can attract people as if they were enhanced versions.
Moreover, although these games may not be well-known, their quality and creativity are decent, otherwise, they wouldn't have been sold on the nintendo famicom FC platform and various handheld console platforms."
Upon hearing Ni Guangnan's response, many people present were slightly stunned, then their faces lit up with joy.
This was good news.
The Bo Island S90 was too strong. Now they had 26 original ported mobile games and 7 adapted enhanced games, which would undoubtedly increase the appeal of their Dawn A1.
It could be said that even if their Dawn A1 did not have a camera, based on the large number of new playable games, good phone quality, and attractive appearance, they would still be able to capture a significant market share.
It could be said that these newly added "new games" alone might enable Shuguang Mobile Phone sales to recover by tens of thousands, reaching a total of over one hundred thousand units!
At this moment, Huang Hua, who was standing by, asked his question:
"Ni Lao, what are those enhanced games?"
Facing Huang Hua's question, Ni Guangnan paused to recall the names of the games, then slowly began to speak:
"Those games include 'Jumping Chicken,' 'Sudden-kun,' 'Antarctic Adventure,' 'Alpha Mission,' 'Ashen Chronicle,' 'Demon-kun,'..."
Upon hearing the series of unfamiliar game names from Ni Guangnan, the enthusiasm that had just risen in the hearts of those present instantly dissipated.
They realized that they had never heard of these game titles. Although being "new games" could attract consumers, the effect might not be as significant as imagined.
These unknown games could at most contribute twenty thousand in sales, so the executives and senior management present were somewhat disheartened after their initial excitement.
"What a pity, they're all not very famous games."
Huang Hua, having learned the result, sighed deeply, feeling somewhat helpless.
After all, porting mobile games is not as simple as directly translating them into Java and letting the phone run them.
The original platform was a home game console, and your mobile platform is a brand new system, not to mention the physical buttons are completely different. You need to adapt and even modify the game data.
If it's an enhanced version, it requires understanding the source code and even background game parameters before adaptive changes can be made. It can be said that creating an enhanced version is incredibly troublesome.
Under these circumstances, the game porting speed of Shuguang Technology was not fast, and creating enhanced versions was even slower.
However, fortunately, Shuguang Technology could employ a human-wave tactic, just as they were currently doing with dozens of game porting teams working simultaneously.
Due to the project bonus system, Shuguang Technology only needed to provide workspaces, computers, and basic salaries, so the initial investment was not actually large.
The only minor headache was that adapting mobile enhanced versions required considerable experience and technical skill. Members of the game adaptation and enhancement teams needed to be carefully selected, making it difficult to employ a human-wave tactic.
At this moment, Lin Chen, who had seemed to be deep in thought, suddenly spoke up and asked Chen Dong:
"Huang Hua, has the yield rate for the new phones improved?"
"The Shuguang F1 phone is currently increasing production capacity, and large-scale mass production is expected in a week."
"Is that so?"
Lin Chen nodded slightly, then continued:
"Bring a few F1 phones over. Let me show you that our phone is the strongest phone in the world."
Upon hearing this, the people present all showed curious expressions.
Many knew that the Shuguang R&D Center was developing new phones, but many high-level executives were unaware of the specific performance parameters of the new phones.
After all, the Shuguang R&D Center was now responsible for phone development, while Shuguang Technology was only responsible for phone sales. The two parties had a relatively independent yet closely cooperative relationship.
Many executives and senior management at Shuguang Technology, despite being core members of the company, did not know about the new phone's performance, appearance, or special features.
Now, the mystery was finally about to be revealed. They all turned their attention to the phone boxes on their tables, which contained brand new Shuguang F1 phones!
Soon, as they opened and tried out the new phones, it wasn't long before exclamations of surprise erupted, filled with joy.
Clearly, they were very surprised and satisfied with the Shuguang F1 phone.
...
Time continued to pass, and in a blink of an eye, another week had gone by.
During this week, domestic mobile phone counterparts wailed in despair, while Boda Mobile became increasingly powerful.
According to relevant statistics, Boda Mobile's total monthly sales are currently estimated to reach 850,000 units!
This increase in sales primarily came from low-end phones, demonstrating that the success of the Bo Island S90 had led to significant progress in Boda Mobile's overall sales.
However, just as Boda Mobile was full of vigor, Shuguang Technology made a big move on this day, instantly overshadowing all news and leaving people silent.
Because on this day, Shuguang Technology announced on their official website that they would hold a product launch event on January 25, 2003, and the new phone, faintly visible in the background of the product launch, was incredibly captivating.
This was a super good-looking flip phone, and also a sci-fi-filled, heart-stirring phone!
Moreover, through the faintly visible silhouette of the phone, people discovered that the back of this phone actually had a camera!
As a result, consumers who discovered this went crazy, and those who were about to purchase a Bo Island S90 phone also stopped their purchasing plans.
After all, no one knew how the new phone Shuguang Technology was going to release would be. If they bought a Bo Island S90 phone now, and then the new phone Shuguang Technology was going to release turned out to be very powerful and attractive, wouldn't they regret it to death?!
So Boda Mobile found themselves in a tragic situation. The customer traffic to their "Bo Island Factory Stores" and even their distributors experienced a sharp decline.
Under these circumstances, a few more days passed, and in a blink of an eye, it was January 25, 2003.
