Chapter 299: Making Money(2/2)
At least Bai Chuanfeng was working on chips with a clumsy and developmental mentality at this time. He messed with neon casually, but he had always been very cautious in foreign markets.
He doesn’t want to alarm a behemoth like Intel early on, so he needs to work steadily in his home country and consolidate his basic base.
In fact, even Neon will alarm Intel sooner or later when SIC takes up a large enough share.
But fortunately, processor chips were not taken seriously at this time, and Shirakawa Kaede still had a few years to slowly develop.
After listening to Shirakawa Kaede's explanation, Nakajima Heitaro and Shimamasato both nodded slightly.
Although as president Heitaro Nakajima still wants to occupy as much of the market as possible, he also knows that a company is an organization that exists for profit.
Too low profit margin will indeed affect the research and development of next-generation products. As long as the price is always higher than the market price, you will not worry about SIC orders.
Not only has the New Year just passed, Namco has placed another order for 100,000 chips.
A set costs US$60, and each set makes a profit of US$15, which is a profit of nearly 400 million yen.
It smells so good. The design of SIC8089 has been completed a long time ago. Now you can just sit back and make money.
There is also Taitung and Sega. Seeing the popularity of Namco’s new arcade machine, it’s impossible not to have any ideas in mind.
A little inquiry will reveal the existence of SIC chips. They were not used in the past because the price was too high.
Nowadays, it is rare to find neon local low-priced products for sale, so why wouldn’t you want to give them a try?
According to Heitaro Nakajima's prediction, the two companies currently negotiating will most likely place an order later.
In this way, SIC's reputation will spread wider and wider, and there will be more and more orders.
He has even begun to consider the latest 8-bit chips and it is time to continue recommending them to those companies.
"The channel sales of chips are not limited to arcades. All consumer electronics manufacturers are one of our potential customers.
In addition, some industrial equipment manufacturers also need a large number of processor chips, and the market in this area must also be developed simultaneously."
"Hai"
The arcade market only occupies a very small share of chip applications, and in Shirakawa Kaede's view, it is just a small test.
The subsequent multi-platform promotion is when SIC really makes money.
