The days of recuperation and recovery were boring, and more than a month passed in a flash, and Xiao Sui finally began to gradually get out of bed and move around to recover. The group of relatives and friends who came from China and couldn't beat them were sent back one after another after opening their eyes in the United States for half a month.

In the past forty days that Xiao Sui has been recuperating from her injuries, Mina naturally took over the task of bringing the baby. Anyway, from a biological point of view, these two were originally her children, so naturally there would be no barrier, and everything went well.

The only trouble is that you can't breastfeed, but you can find a substitute, as long as money can buy it, it's not a problem.

Within 48 hours after he was born, Gu Biao asked his secretary to go to Watsengton with the power of attorney, and went to the embassy to declare the child's Chinese nationality and register the basic information.

When Gu Wei's secretary went to the embassy to go through the formalities, he didn't meet Ye Kun, and they didn't care about it. However, I heard that after the formalities were completed, within a few days, Ye Kun went back to Greenwich's villa to stay. {The house was given to her by Gu Biao}

She also generously hung up the phone to Mina in line with her classmates, so that she could take the child to sit and have afternoon tea.

Mina was invited like this, but she was a little weak-hearted, and she felt that she didn't seem to be afraid of the other party, so about a week after the child was discharged from the hospital, she went to the door, and I don't know what the two old classmates talked about, anyway, no one was pleased.

In addition to the determination of the child's nationality, of course, the green card was also obtained quickly, and all the rights attached to the right of residence were not left behind, and no one needed to remind them.

As the state of his wife and concubines and children gradually improves, Gu Biao can also take some time to care about business.

Because at the end of June, it will soon be time for the second generation of Tiankun game consoles to be officially launched on the market.

The performance of Tiankun's new game console involves whether Zhang Zhongmou's follow-up "cPu production capacity bottleneck", "hot sales", "short supply" and other dramas can be performed, so it is not just a matter of money or not, we must pay attention to it.

This chess piece is used not only against Nintendo, but also against Apple.

Since mid-June, Gu Biao has asked Schulhoff to report every day and fax him the latest situation, and he himself works from home, taking time to review it every night to keep abreast of the latest situation.

What third-party software development friends have newly joined Tiankun's system, which third-party game development progress is fast, and has caught up with the Japanese game library, Gu Biao is clear and happy.

Everything was planned.

"I'm going to California these days to take care of something. The family depends on you, and Suizi's body is not very convenient. ”

One night at the end of June, in the master bedroom of Greenwich Gu's Manor, Gu Biao took advantage of the sage's time to discuss things with Mina.

"Can't we go to California with us? Your plane isn't medically good and stable. Mina was a little reluctant.

Gu Biao comforted with warm words: "Suizi's body is not suitable for staying in an air-conditioned room, and the child is too young to blow it." It's too hot in California, but it's cool here in Connecticut. Don't worry, I won't be there for long, I'll be back in a week at most. When autumn is cooler and the children are stronger, I can take you wherever you go. ”

Mina: "Then pay attention to yourself and call back every day." ”

Gu Biao hugged Mina and fell asleep.

……

A day later, Gu Biao appeared in Silicon Valley, moved to his seaview villa in the Bay Area, and summoned many responsible executives of the Tiankun department.

"Boss, congratulations, let me see the photos of your children. "Shulhoff, the president of Tiankun, was the first to come to visit in advance and take the opportunity to talk about some personal matters.

Gu Biao would not refuse this kind of thing, and with a gesture, the female secretary took out the small photo album she was carrying.

"It's really a beautiful child, and I can see that it's a bit of a mixed race. Schulhoff carefully organized the wording.

Gu Biao directly brought the topic back to the topic: "For me, Tiankun's new generation of game consoles and Wang An's new generation of wPs computers are also like my children. I want them to be beautiful enough, both in terms of appearance and resume, in terms of performance. ”

Schulhoff smiled slightly for a second or two, and immediately said: "That's a must, everyone in the company says that this is a congratulatory gift to the chairman." ”

While chatting, Schulhoff showed Gu Biao a home machine that will be officially released next month.

The first generation of Tiankun's products was launched in 1983, when the American game console market was experiencing the fear of the Atari crash, and the market was relatively exclusive to the word "game console", so all the new game console companies at that time basically avoided the word "game console", and disguised themselves as home computers and learned to use computers.

Nintendo's Fc is Family-puter, and Tiankun's is Play-puter.

Now, five years have passed, and the American market's understanding of game consoles has been re-established after Gu Biao's cultivation, so there is no need to hide it anymore. Considering that the abbreviation Play-puter is easily confused with personal computers, Tiankun changed the name of the new product instead of adding an ii directly.

In this case, Gu Biao exercised his naming right as the chairman of the board of directors and directly named it Ps, Play-station.

Because he felt that Sony had been stuck with him in this life and would not make game consoles anymore. In this case, the name Ps is also a waste if it is idle, he can use it, and it can be regarded as a favor of Akio Morita, an early strategic partner.

Uncle Yu doesn't have a chance to carry forward the things that are great, and the virtuous nephew will help you carry them forward.

In the 90s and the 21st century, the next generation will be developed, so continue the Ps2/Ps3 row, there is no need to change the name of the series, it is easy to remember, and it is easy to form brand inertia.

It's just that Tian Kun was in the era of 16-bit computers, and it took the name of Ps, so it will be one more generation than Sony Ps in another world, and the future Tian Kun Ps2 is equivalent to Sony's Ps1, Tian Kun Ps3 is equivalent to Sony Ps2, and so on.

……

Faced with the game console presented by Schulhoff, Gu Biao first finally confirmed the appearance of the finished product, the list of supported games, and the details of the packaging design.

He doesn't ask about many things, but as a boss, he still has to finally experience it for himself and form his own impression.

The appearance of the machine is an elegant matte pure black shell, hard ABS engineering plastic, no bells and whistles, and the structural design of the cassette slot has also made more protective design than the previous generation.

In addition to the fine-tuning of the dust cover, it has also been specially optimized for the smoothness of plugging and unplugging, improving the life of the socket and adjusting the foolproof design.

After Gu Biao observed it, he was not in a hurry to turn on the machine and try to play, so he specially took out all kinds of cassettes, and then went to chā jìn with his own hands, pulled it out, and chā jìn went and pulled it out, and repeatedly stressed it dozens of times, which was very smooth and not easy at the same time.

In his previous life, he remembered how careless the domestic manufacturer of the Nintendo red and white machine was when making the cassette plug-in structure. After many inferior cassettes go, it is a hassle to change the card.

Especially the batch of Wanwan Shengtian Cottage, pushing a limit slot can allow children to use their strength to eat. Sometimes I finally played hundreds of times and plugged in, but I couldn't recognize it because of poor contact.

Many people end up removing the plastic shell and inserting the circuit board directly, which is similar to the operation of assembling a computer and inserting a memory module into the motherboard.

There are even some children who smear saliva and spit on the inserts of the bare circuit board to increase the contact recognition rate.

This kind of thing that hurts the user experience can't appear on Tiankun's game console. Gu Biao did not hesitate to spend some additional hardware costs and design expenses for such a small experience.

It's a model of making a game with heart.

"It's very good, I'm very happy with the first-party game, and the ease of use details of the machine are also very good, which is all due to the early A/B version of the stress test before the official release. After Gu Biao looked at the machine, he spot-checked a few games a little, played two levels, and praised Schulhoff.

Schulhoff nodded and admitted: "Indeed, the A/B version of the test you introduced from Wang An's computer has indeed played a great role in optimizing those difficult to quantify aesthetic and usability indicators." We have found thousands of die-hard fans who pre-ordered these machines and tested them in early access with a trial stream version.

Considering the difficulty of logistics and the slow way to collect opinions, we chose Silicon Valley, Los Angeles and New York to conduct on-site testing, and selected 1,000 places in each city. On the other hand, we only conducted tests in Tokyo and selected 2,000 people.

Those who are eligible to participate in the lottery are all members who have a first-party masterpiece purchase record of more than 20 first-generation Tiankun aircraft, and these people are already die-hard fans of Tiankun, and they are very enthusiastic to participate in the early optimization interaction, and they will not reduce their confidence in Tiankun because of temporary imperfections. ”

In 1988, user preference A/B testing to uncover potential problems in designs that could not be quantified with right or wrong was the only R&D management idea in the world.

Since Gu Biao took the lead in introducing such an advanced management concept, it is logical to win the competitive advantage at the product level.

"Everything that needs to be done is done, it's up to you to see how you perform, and I have confidence in you. ”

Finally, I tried a "Street Fighter" and "Warrior's Soul" {"Samurai Shodown" made with Street Fighter kernel for textures, focusing on armed fighting, the reason why the name was changed was to reduce the concentration of Samurai elements in this book to prevent Western players from disgusting, and the follow-up Japanese version will still be called "Samurai Shodown"}, Gu Biao expressed his encouragement to his subordinates.

He knows that those strategy games in the United States cannot play the role of market leaders, and Americans are still too simple and rude.

The same engine, the same set of algorithms, change the texture and interface, redesign the level mechanics, and collect a little more upgrade elements, and Lao Mei will pay again. Strategy is a thing, or we still have to count on myself and the Chinese to make a show. 6
