Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 421 Get together and play games

  Orange Technology Headquarters

   After leaving Standard Chartered Bank, Yang Chen took He Chaoqiong to the Xiangjiang Electronics Industrial Park where Orange Technology is located.

   After nearly a month of research and development, the GB game console has been completely transformed.

   Now, in beta.

  If nothing else, the GB game console can start mass production early next month.

   Outside the office of the general manager of Orange Technology

  Xue Yufei's secretary: "Chairman, Miss He."

  Yang Chen: "Is Yu Fei inside?"

  Secretary: "The general manager is in the design department. Chairman, wait a moment, I'll be right away."

   Before Xue Yufei's secretary could finish speaking, Yang Chen waved his hand, "No need, I'll just go over by myself, you can keep busy."

  The headquarters of Orange Technology is Yang Chen's largest game factory. Originally, this game factory was a large electronic toy factory.

   Later, with the rise of video games, the factory owner ordered a series of game production equipment and assembly equipment from Japan with huge sums of money.

   The former boss of this factory not only undertook business from game companies such as the United States and Japan, but also recruited a large number of game engineers to develop game consoles and games, and wanted to enter the game market and get a share.

  Unfortunately, the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny.

  In the first year, the owner spent countless efforts, and when the game was finally vacated, a ban came from Wanwan.

   Near the largest market in Xiangjiang, it was cut down at once, and the factory owner almost vomited blood.

  Xiangjiang and Wanwan have the same text and origin. Whether it is movies or games, there is no doubt that Wanwan has always been the largest dumping market outside of Hong Kong.

   As for Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, it is the third market after Chuwanwan.

  Without the Wanwan market, Xiangjiang games can only be distributed locally or in Southeast Asia.

   As for Japan, don’t even think about it, there are a number of local game companies such as Nintendo, and the game companies in Xiangjiang and Wanwan can only survive if they go through OEM.

  If you want to compete with each other, you are not a level opponent at all.

  In the OEM industry, when the game market is booming, as more people enter, the competition becomes more intense.

  The foundry business is gradually decreasing, and the games developed are not very popular.

   Soon, the factory owner could no longer hold on, and in the end, he had no choice but to sell the game factory.

   After Yang Chen took over the factory, he put the game company headquarters here.

   Came to the design department, and before he could enter, he heard all kinds of noises coming from inside.

The sound of    is very familiar and very touching.

   Walking to the entrance of the design department, I saw the people inside, all with their heads lowered, not working, holding white, blue and green game consoles in their hands, and they were playing games with full attention.

   These people are just playing games, and they even turned on the sound of the game so loud that Yang Chen couldn't help but roll his eyes.

   There were no flowers, no applause, Yang Chen waved at Junzi and Tietou, and asked them to wait at the door, while he himself led He Chaoqiong into the design department.

   "The box is in the wrong place"

  Yang Chen glanced at the girl who was crawling on the desk, playing Sokoban.

   The girl didn't lift her head, as if she didn't hear Yang Chen's words, she still pushed the second box in her own way. When she pushed the last box, the girl found that there was a problem, and the last box could not reach the designated position.

Just when the girl was about to move the box in front of her depressed, Yang Chen spoke again, "The second box doesn't need to be moved, just push the first box to its original position, and then move the last box to the first one. Just the location."

   "Uh..." The girl was a little speechless after being interrupted twice.

   This time, the girl was not ignoring Yang Chen's suggestion, and honestly followed Yang Chen's suggestion, and moved the last box to the first position little by little.

   As the box was in place, the girl couldn't help but light up, and then hurriedly pushed the first box.

   Soon, this level, which made me die several times, finally passed.

  The girl exhaled, it's not easy, this simple push box, without any brains, really can't do it.

   "Uh, Chairman" The girl originally wanted to look up to see who was guiding her, but she never thought it was her own boss.

   The most tragic thing in the world is to play games at work and be caught on the spot by the big boss.

  If it's a manager or something, it's okay, at most reprimand it and pay a fine.

   But being hit by his big boss, it hurts so much.

   "How is it? Is the game fun?" Yang Chen asked with a grin.

   "Boss, I was wrong." The girl said with a sad face.

   Yang Chen raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Oh, tell me, what did you do wrong?"

   "I shouldn't go to work and play games" The girl seems to have deeply realized her mistake.

   "It's okay, you're not alone"

   Halfway through his words, Yang Chen suddenly found that the design department was a little weird.

   turned his head to look at the other people, and saw that there was a lot of chaos just now, and a group of people were playing games together.

   Suddenly, there was no sound.

  The most speechless thing is that those people did not know when they returned to their positions one by one, looking like they were working hard.

  Everyone didn't seem to notice him coming in, just pretended not to.

   Of course, there are exceptions, such as our general manager Xue. I don't know if the game is too fun, the game is too addicting or the same.

   At this moment, Xue Yufei was still playing with the game console as if no one was around.

  Yang Chen turned his head, faced the girl who was secretly looking at him, and said, "Lend me the game console for a while."

   "Give" the girl without any hesitation, and hurriedly handed Yang Chen the game console hidden behind her.

   She didn't buy this game console. The game console in her hand and the game consoles in the hands of others in the design department were all sent by Xue Yufei for them to play.

The purpose of    is to let these people see if there are any loopholes in the game. Now, the main task of the game design department is to help fill the gaps in the game design provided by Yang Chen, and try the game casually to see if there is any room for improvement.

   It is reasonable to say that this is their scope of work, but for some reason, everyone saw Yang Chen, the big boss, coming, and they all tacitly put away the game console.

   Games like Sokoban are simple, so one game card contains three games.

  Yang Chen had prepared a total of ten games for the design department. Except for Tetris, which is a fixed game that comes with the game console, the remaining nine games were all included in the three game cards.

  The reason why Yang Chen set Tetris as a fixed game that comes with the game console is mainly due to the influence of later Nintendo.

   And the sales of Tetris in later generations also proved its popularity.

   Almost everyone who plays video games has played Tetris. This sentence is not an exaggeration, but a fact.

   Therefore, Yang Chen naturally added Tetris in order to sell game consoles.
