Chapter XVIII: Space Invaders 1
Early the next morning, after having breakfast at the hotel, the group of Heiyun Company came to the headquarters of Taidong Co., Ltd. Taidong has been developing in RB for many years, and there are many game halls operating in RB, so Taidong's headquarters has an 8-story office building in the downtown area of Tokyo, with game halls on the first and second floors and office areas above the third floor. Ten years later, even this property is worth a lot of money.
In the president's office on the 8th floor, Bao Zixuan walked in alone, and the other employees were already communicating with the people of Taidong Games, mainly the repair and maintenance of Pac-Man and Xiangjiang Cubes. Although the overall level of the employees from Xiangjiang may be weaker than RB's game engineers, they are under the guidance of Bao Zixuan these days and have personally experienced the development of Pac-Man, so they still have their own unique points in terms of insights and understanding of Pac-Man.
After Yuichi Kojima's introduction, Bao Zixuan and Michal quickly became familiar with each other, this descendant of the Russian aristocracy who made his fortune in China and developed in RB can be said to have been greatly affected by the war in the first half of his life, and has been in exile, but it can be said that it is very rare to rely on his own personal ability to lay down a foundation.
Michal chatted with Bao Zixuan in ordinary language, probably not talking for a long time, so it was a little rusty to say, and at this time when Bao Zixuan said that he could communicate in Russian, Michal was overjoyed, this course has not found a few people who can speak Russian in RB for many years due to the influence of international relations, and he has returned to the rhythm of his native language, which makes him suddenly feel a sense of intimacy.
Yuichi Kojima: "I didn't expect Bao Sang to give us another surprise, you can speak Russian so fluently." ”
Bao Zixuan: "Mainly when I was in London, I read some Russian books, so I learned some. Bao Zixuan knew that there were not many reports about Michal in his previous life, but many people knew that he liked Russian writers more, and he also wanted to do what he liked.
Michal: "I didn't expect that. Mr. Bao, the young man is really very extensive! I have a lot of literary works at home, and we have time to exchange more. ”
Bao Zixuan: "Okay, no problem. ”
Yuichi Kojima: "Bao Sang, the main reason we invited you to come over this time is to implant anti-piracy software encryption systems in the games that we will release next year. ”
Bao Zixuan: I was very excited, because he knew that the opportunity had come, and a classic masterpiece in the history of the game was beckoning to him, and this was an opportunity that he could not let go. "Okay, no problem, but I'm going to take a look at the game first. This allows you to tailor your programming to the underlying code of the game, which will work better. ”
Michal: "Okay, no problem. When Yuichi Kojima wanted to say a few words, Michal had already made a statement. It can only let Bao Zixuan get in touch with the game in advance without making any requests.
When Michal, Yuichi Kojima, and Bao Zixuan arrived at the game development department on the 7th floor, everyone was working hard, and it can be said that the efficiency of RB workers in this era is among the highest in the world. After taking a look, Bao Zixuan was relieved, yes, it was another masterpiece that he had been thinking about for a long time - the space invader.
The three of them didn't disturb everyone's work, and watched it for about half an hour. At this time, the setting of a game is not good, everyone revolves around to solve the problem, but still does not find the ideal solution. So Bao Zixuan said to the two: "Otherwise, I'll give it a try." ”
Yuichi Kojima knew that Bao Zixuan himself was a master of game programming, and that Heiyun's games were all led by himself, so he agreed to Bao Zixuan's request without hesitation. After explaining to the employees below, Bao Zixuan took over the employees' computers and began to implant the data around the third level boss. Seeing Bao Zixuan's fingers dancing quickly on the keyboard, a discerning person knew that he was a master at a glance, and in less than ten minutes, the game's data implantation had been completed, and the boss began to move smoothly on the screen.
Everyone began to applaud spontaneously, and Michal gave him a thumbs up, and Bao Zixuan handed over the computer to the staff from the beginning. At this time, an engineer who had been on a business trip to Xiangjiang Heiyun Company began to ask some questions, hoping that Bao Zixuan would answer them. After Bao Zixuan briefly answered a few questions, he left the game development department.
Bao Zixuan: "President Michal and Mr. Kojima, I hope that Kuromo can participate in the production of this game, which will speed up the game process and bring customers a better game experience." ”
Yuichi Kojima didn't answer directly, but said, "Bao Sang hasn't visited our company yet!" After speaking, he arranged for a beautiful employee to be a tour guide for Bao Zixuan.
Michal: "I agree in principle that we need to talk about it, after all, we've been working on this game for almost two years. ”
When Bao Zixuan visited the company, Michal, Kojima Yuichi, and the head of the Taidong Game Development Department, Ben Yi, came to Michal's office together.
Michal: "What do you think of the proposal for the Black Cloud Game? ”
Version Yi: "Your Excellency the President, Your Excellency Kojima, we should promise him, I have carefully studied the two games of Black Cloud, and we are indeed incomparable in terms of production, and you have just seen that according to our previous to solve such a technical problem, it takes about a week, and Bao Sang actually solved it in ten minutes, we need his professional ability, which we do not have now." ”
Yuichi Kojima: "I also agree, this can make the two companies work more closely, after all, they are the only company in Xiangjiang, and there are many game companies like us in RB, and Kuromo does not have the ability to develop the RB market at least now, so this is our opportunity." It may have grown faster, but with the development of Pac-Man, the rise of the game company was unstoppable, so why not partner with a company that was destined to become a powerhouse. ”
Michal: "Let's talk about it! Our stake cannot be less than 60%, we have invested too much in this project. ”
Bao Zixuan visited Taidong Co., Ltd. under the guidance of a beautiful woman and played a game in the game hall on the first floor. I saw that the employees of Heiyun were communicating carefully with their RB counterparts. About an hour later, I returned to Michal to run the company.
Yuichi Kojima: "We agreed to introduce the people and technology of Kuroku in the Space Invaders project, but we had to dominate the game. ”
Bao Zixuan: "No problem, I just want our two companies to reach a cooperation in the project, and we don't come here to compete for the project." When both companies needed each other urgently, they quickly reached a cooperation agreement. ”
Due to the large amount of cooperation, the parties agreed to sign the contract tomorrow after the lawyer drafted the contract. Bao Zixuan could only call He Mingcheng in Xiangjiang and ask the other party to fly to Tokyo tonight.
Bao Zixuan: "Uncle He, I have a cooperation agreement here that I want you to come over for review." ”
He Mingcheng: "It's too late now, I have to appear in court tomorrow." And I am not particularly familiar with many of RB's legal stripes, not as good as the professional lawyers there, but one of my classmates went to study at RB after graduating from the Faculty of Law of Xiangjiang University, and he is in Tokyo and has been working as a lawyer, so I will call him and make an appointment with him to call you back. ”
Bao Zixuan had no choice but to agree, after all, it is not so easy to find a lawyer who can be trusted. didn't let himself wait too long, He Mingcheng called.
"I've made an appointment with my classmate, and I've given up a phone number. You can call him now, I have already told him about your situation, he will come to your place to look for you, his ability is very strong. ”
