Chapter Eighty-Three: A New Game
After Zheng Yan returned to the capital, although he did not go to school, he did not stay in the courtyard. Zheng Yan lived alone in the house in Zhongguancun on the pretext that it was convenient to go to the school library to check the materials.
Although Zhao Weimin and the others borrowed the class notes of many classmates for Zheng Yan in order to facilitate Zheng Yan's self-study, Zheng Yan was not even interested in taking a look. To put it bluntly, Zheng Yan now not only knows the content of the next exam, but also knows the standard answers. Every day, I eat and take a walk with An Ran after class.
After a few days of leisure, Zheng Yan felt a little bored, and turned his mind to the company's affairs. You don't need to worry about the sales of enterprise management software, and the movie shooting of Port City Entertainment Company is also followed by Miyuki Aso. Only the Japanese joint venture is still preparing for listing.
Zheng Yan thought to himself: "Maybe we can think of a way to make the joint venture look more promising, so as to increase the market value of the company after it goes public." ”
For the joint venture, Zheng Yan has already made up his mind to sell all the shares around 1990. But this does not prevent Zheng Yan from promoting the increase in the company's market value, since there is a plan to sell, then the higher the market value, the better.
After this kind of game company is listed, what can bring confidence to shareholders is nothing more than whether there are best-selling games. At present, GB is already the world's best-selling game console, so Sony can't wait to push the company to go public. Zheng Yan plans to develop another game for the company, so that he can earn a lot of dividends for himself within a year, and increase the company's market value, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Since the main purpose of developing the software this time is not to make long-term income, but to give shareholders confidence in order to increase the company's market value. After consideration, Zheng Yan finally chose the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game software. The market sustainability of this game, while not comparable to that of a GB machine, is a great example of the kind of game that generates huge profits for the company in a short period of time.
In less than a year after its launch, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game software sold more than 4 million units and made a profit of more than $100 million. I believe that at this time, it will be sold with GB machines, and better results will be achieved.
Zheng Yan spent a few days to complete the initial writing of the game code at home, but because there was no computer at home to convert the game code, he went directly to the company.
"Zheng Yan, why are you here? Aren't you studying at home?" asked Wang Fang strangely.
Although the other students in the class are not very clear about Zheng Yan's situation, Wang Fang, as the class leader, and has been working in the company, knows Zheng Yan's affairs well. In the past, I rarely saw Zheng Yan in the company, but now Zheng Yan suddenly appeared in the company, and Wang Fang couldn't help but be a little curious about Zheng Yan's purpose.
"Squad leader, I've been idle at home for the past two days, and I've come up with a game software. The initial game code has been written, and I am ready to try it out using the company's computer to convert it into game code. Zheng Yan said to Wang Fang.
"Do you know that you have fallen behind for most of the semester? If you can't pass the year-end exam, you will become a junior next year. It's not good for you to educate yourself at home at this time, because you still have the heart to develop game software. Wang Fang said with a little hatred.
Although Zheng Yan himself knew that the exam was not a problem at all, he had no way to tell others. Wang Fang was also out of concern, in order to prevent similar situations from happening again, Zheng Yan said to Wang Fang: "Squad leader, I've been trying to learn by myself, but I have to do something else to rest and rest, isn't it? There is no delay in learning, you can rest assured. ”
Although Wang Fang still felt that Zheng Yan was a little unprofessional, she did not stop her when she heard Zheng Yan's sworn assurance.
"It's okay if you use the computer, but it can't be too long, the most important thing for you now is to make up for the missing lessons. As for software development or something, it's never too late to wait until the exam is over. Wang Fang said to Zheng Yan.
Zheng Yan also wants to develop it later, but the problem is that if he doesn't hurry up, this software will come out. At the same time, I was thinking about whether to buy a computer at home, but thinking that this time was a special situation, I was afraid that I wouldn't need it at other times, so I put out this idea. After agreeing to Wang Fang, he found a computer that no one used and started his own work.
Originally, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles video game was developed by Nintendo to work with the red and white machine, and Zheng Yan's most important thing was to change it so that this software could fit with the GB machine. Fortunately, the development of the GB machine was completed by Zheng Yan, and now this software is also developed to cooperate with the GB machine. Zheng Yan knows both software very well, and it is quite easy to change.
"Zheng Yan, it's almost. You've been using the computer for two hours, and even if it's a break in between, it's long enough. Let's go back and read a book. Zheng Yan kept staring at the computer, constantly thinking about how to improve, and didn't pay attention to the passage of time. But Wang Fang looked at the watch, and after seeing it for two hours, Zheng Yan still didn't mean to stop, and couldn't help but come over and urge.
Although Zheng Yan still wanted to continue, he didn't want to live up to Wang Fang's kindness, so he stopped his work after saving.
"Squad leader, don't let anyone else use this computer for the time being, and I'll talk about it after I finish the software. Thinking about the computer level of the company's employees, I couldn't help but say a word to Wang Fang. If you lose your archives, you won't be able to cry when the time comes.
"Don't worry, no one will use it. ”
In fact, Zheng Yan's advice is meaningless at all, the company's computers are only used in the early stage of employee training, and most of the time, these computers are just decorations. Unless a new employee is hired, it goes without saying that no one will use it, and even if they do, everyone will not bother to get started.
Zheng Yan didn't know about this, but after getting Wang Fang's assurance, he left the company with confidence.
For the next period of time, Zheng Yan would go to the company every day to develop game software, and Wang Fang would also help Zheng Yan remember the time every time. Up to two hours at a time, not even a minute.
Later, in order to speed up the progress, Zheng Yan had to inquire about the time when there was a class in the class, and specially took Wang Fang's class time to go to the company. The development work is like fighting guerrillas. However, after a week, the development of this software is finally completed.
