Li Xuan was sitting in the special car given to him by the company and going to the location of the exhibition hall of the Akihabara Electronics Exhibition. He looked at Zhong Chuhong beside him, who was playing backgammon with a Gameboy handheld, and had the urge to cover his face and not bear to look at it.

"I really can't stand you stinky chess basket! No matter where the pieces fall here or here, can't they form four chess pieces diagonally?"

"Ah, I don't understand if I don't know how to watch chess!" Zhong Chuhong's face was slightly red, a pair of beautiful eyes rolled her eyes at Li Xuan, and she turned off the power switch of the game console neatly in her hand, pulled out the game card, and replaced it with another game called the highway.

The two games, backgammon and highway, are the creativity of the staff of the game development department themselves, and they have nothing to do with Li Xuan. This is also the result that Li Xuan hopes to see the most, he does have countless classic games in his head, but originality is the real cornerstone that supports Dongfang Electronics' future dominance of the game industry.

Li Xuan has been sparing no effort in R&D and innovation, and Hong Kong has only a total population base of 5 million, and there are two full-time universities in CUHK and HKU, which are far from supporting Dongfang Electronics' thirst for professional electronic talents, especially R&D talents.

Therefore, Dongfang Electronics has long set its sights on Taipei, which has a population of 18 million and a well-established university education system. At the beginning of the year, the company held its first job fair in Taipei, attracting a large number of fresh graduates from National Taiwan University, Tsinghua University, Chengdu University and other universities to work in Hong Kong with high salaries.

Taiwan is an important part of the world's computer and semiconductor industry in the future, and Li Xuan plans to build a research and development center in Taipei in the next step. With two arcade machines, Hong Kong Square and Tank Wars, Dongfang Electronics Company has made a fortune against the sky. Therefore, the salary of Dongfang Electronics Company is one to two layers higher than that of the same company, especially for R&D personnel, Li Xuan's treatment is even more generous.

He envisioned Dongfang Electronics as a technological innovation company, not a sweatshop, and the company's profitability was by no means achieved by squeezing the income of employees. Giving employees better treatment can make everyone have a greater sense of ownership, be more loyal to the company, and be more passionate about their work.

It is precisely because Dongfang Electronics gives better treatment than local companies in Taipei, although it is going to leave Taipei to work in Hong Kong, but Dongfang Electronics' position still makes countless Taiwanese graduates rush to it. Xu Fengxiong, who graduated from the Department of Electrical Engineering of National Taiwan University, stood out from the fierce competition and was the first batch of Taipei graduates recruited by Dongfang Electronics.

When Hui Fengxiong arrived in Hong Kong, he was assigned to the handheld project, a small game he had written on his computer when he was in college. At that time, there were only two games that had been confirmed to be ported from arcades, Hong Kong Blocks and Tank Wars, and there was an urgent need to develop a batch of new games to enrich the playability of the consoles. So Xu Fengxiong thought of modifying the backgammon program on the computer and transplanting it to the handheld. His mention was supported by Du Wenqiang, who was personally in charge of the handheld development project.

When Li Xuan played the Gameboy version of backgammon for the first time, he personally tested it many times and found that the intelligent program of the game program was very good, and there were no obvious loopholes. Although you encounter a master of backgammon, the game will only be rigidly settled according to the programme, and you will soon be defeated. But when encountering ordinary players like Zhong Chuhong, the game console can still go back and forth with the player, and there is no obvious imbalance of zài.

Li Xuan deliberately paid attention to this new employee who had just joined the company, but found that he actually corresponded to a celebrity in his memory. In 1997, IBM developed a supercomputer called Deep Blue, which shocked the world by playing six games against the then chess champion Kasparov, winning two wins, three losses and one loss. And the maker of the dark blue is Xu Fengxiong, who was born in Taiwan.

No matter how hard the butterfly's wings try to stir up, some people will still stubbornly follow the established historical trajectory. Xu Fengxiong seems to have formed an indissoluble bond with chess and artificial intelligence. Li Xuan is thinking about whether Dongfang Electronics will also learn from IBM to get a supercomputer in the future, and engage in the gimmick of a personal computer war to make himself famous.

Compared to backgammon, another game called Highway is not bad for playability. The player controls a taxi to avoid various obstacles on the road, and passengers will wave on the side of the road on the left side of the screen from time to time, and the player controls the direction to catch a passenger and get off the bus to the destination on the right side of the road.

The player has two chances to hit the barricade, and the third time they hit the barricade, and the game is gameover. Although the game graphics are simple, the details are full of sincerity. For example, when the player crashes the car, there will be a picture of a rollover, there will be a sound of passengers screaming, and the car will obviously be more dilapidated than the new car after re-driving. After the second impact, the car will be more dilapidated than the first, and the third impact will end the game, leaving only a pile of wreckage of the car.

An easter egg was also added in the middle of the game to give players some surprises. If you can successfully deliver a passenger to your destination five times in a row, a wheel of fortune will appear above the scoring bar in the upper right corner of the screen. Players have the opportunity to score a large number of points, or one more chance to crash.

Seeing Zhong Chuhong playing with Gameboy, a smile also appeared on the corner of Li Xuan's mouth. The company's game development department finally has the prototype of an excellent game company. His aura of rebirth is not invincible, and the dozens of classic games in his head are simply not enough to support the entire huge game console market.

For example, Dongfang Electronics' new handheld gameboy, the classic game Hong Kong cube that comes with it, can quickly gather the attention of a large number of players and make a good start to the promotion of handhelds.

But no matter how good the game is, there are times when you get tired of it, and if Dongfang Electronics wants to maintain the attractiveness of Gameboy to players, it needs to continuously develop new games. And Li Xuan doesn't have so much energy at all, nor does he have so much creativity to support independently.

"Okay, Miss, stop playing, it's time to the venue!" Li Xuan stretched out his hand and flicked Zhong Chuhong's head.

"What are you doing?" Zhong Chuhong raised her head dissatisfiedly like a little girl who was addicted to games. But when she saw her boyfriend's aggrieved expression on his face after being snubbed, she also felt a little embarrassed, and quickly sent a fragrant kiss to express comfort.

"There are so many people here, it's so lively!" Zhong Chuhong looked at the endless stream of visitors and sighed, "Where is the company's booth?

"No, Ye Chengkang over there will be in charge, the task of the two of us is to have fun by ourselves!" Li Xuan shook his head and said with a smile.

The Gameboy has been distributed in advance in toy stores and stores all over Japan, and will be officially released today. The role of this Akihabara Electronics Show for Dongfang Electronics is not as important as the last Western Electronics Show in San Francisco Silicon Valley.

At that time, Dongfang Electronics Company was fledgling and urgently needed to find an agent through Guò Exhibition. But now, the purpose of the company's participation in the exhibition is mainly to expand its popularity. Different purposes, naturally there will be different moods, Li Xuan took Zhong Chuhong's hand, leisurely strolled in the exhibition hall, occasionally met the exhibits of interest, and the two stopped from time to time to experience.

The main character of the Akihabara Exhibition is a variety of consumer electronics, including color TVs, video recorders, cameras, washing machines, refrigerators, and other new products from each company. Japan's electronics industry has taken off since the beginning of the sixties and seventies, and all kinds of electronic products are sold all over the world.
