Chapter 61: The New Tank Wars

The day after Lin Qi lived in the Xinai Electronics Branch, Zhang Ru came from Hong Kong with a pile of documents. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Accompanied by Zhang Ru, Lin Qi fought for several hours at night, signing and approving the documents one after another.

"The arcade machine of Tank Wars has been developed?" Lin Qi said, "Why hasn't it been put into production yet?"

This was originally a task assigned in August '80, and it was not easy to complete it after a few bumpy months. Because, the hardware of the "Chinese Cube" arcade platform is far from enough.

In order for Tank Wars to run smoothly, the hardware design had to be redesigned.

At present, the arcade project of the new venture electronics company is basically an arcade machine, a new hardware platform, and the platforms are not compatible with each other.

If you want to turn the arcade into a platform, you must wait until your own CPU chip is successfully developed.

Now that we have come up with a general arcade base platform as early as possible, it won't take long and we need to re-develop it, so wouldn't it be very painful.

Although, the development of a new game requires both software and hardware development, and the research and development cost is definitely more expensive, and the development cycle has become uncertain.

But...... Lin Qi is willing, because this kind of research and development from scratch is very training the talent team.

It's also worth spending a little more so that the company can discover and develop talent.

Of course, the labor in Hong Kong is relatively cheap, and the hardware consumed for research and development is also general-purpose hardware that can be bought in the market. Patchwork with these available hardware, although, it can be called the "geek" level. But after all, compared with R&D chips and the like, it is still very cost-effective.

In the U.S., the cost of the team alone would have skyrocketed the cost of the project.

"Tank Wars" was developed in four months, and the total cost of software and hardware only cost more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars. Compared with the R&D costs of their counterparts in the United States and Europe, it is relatively low.

"Boss, this is not a trivial matter, once the production is arranged, the funds involved are conservatively estimated to be tens of millions, who has the right to approve except you?" Zhang Ru complained and said, "Now the chairman and general manager of the company are all yourself, and the deputy general managers Dr. Yu and Gao Tian are in charge of technology, regardless of market and production!"

Lin Qi nodded and said, "So, go back and give you a new appointment, CEO." In the future, this kind of developed product, I am not in the company, and I have no time to sign it. You sign, and then find a vice president of technical affairs to sign, and you can pass!"

"No...... I...... How can I be a CEO?", Zhang Ru stammered.

"I said yes!" Lin Qi said indifferently, "If you are too professional in technology research and development, you can't manage it." But after the product is developed, you can stand in the perspective of consumers, feel that the product is fun, and if there is a market, you can decide to produce. As for finding a vice president of technology to endorse, there is also an extra guarantee. ”

"But doesn't the CEO want a famous college student and an elite with a background in a large international company?" Zhang Ru said embarrassedly, "I only went to elementary school. ”

"It doesn't matter. Lin Qi smiled and said, "Hong Kong has a lot of self-made rich people, and their education is about the same as yours. What's more, you have completed your secondary school studies in the past few years and are still auditing at HKU, which I know as well. ”

Zhang Ru's face flushed, originally she worked hard to make up for cultural knowledge, because she felt that her ex-boyfriend would never return to the United States, and there was no news for several years, it is estimated that she felt that she had a low level of education and no common language, so she worked hard to learn cultural knowledge.

The reason for going to HKU as an auditor was because after serving as Lin Qi's secretary, most of the people he came into contact with were highly educated elites, and he felt a lot of pressure, so he signed up for the audit course at HKU.

……

Lin Qi quickly browsed the file.

In one night, all the documents accumulated in the past month have been processed. This is also thanks to the fact that during this time, the world is also on holiday during the Spring Festival, and the accumulated work is not too much.

Otherwise, if you are not in the company for a month, the company may be chaotic.

Lin Qi thought to himself that the newly established electronics company should set up a decision-making team dominated by executive deputy general managers. A number of deputy general managers held a meeting to discuss and reach an agreement, unless it involves the company's equity, asset transfer and creditor's rights, etc., the project involved, if the company's total assets do not exceed 1%, it can be decided by this vote.

Of course, the longer-term plan should be to give management ownership and set up a board of directors. In this way, resolutions involving material asset changes can be discussed by the board of directors.

Three days later.

The prototype and design drawings of "Tank Wars" were transported to Shenzhen. Although it is a little different from Lin Qi's memory, it generally does not deviate from the core gameplay given by Lin Qi.

"Boss, look at this game, whether it meets your requirements!" Zhao Ruofei, the core technician of the "Tank Wars" project team, said to Lin Qi tremblingly.

Zhao Ruofei, who graduated from the University of Hong Kong, did not have very good grades in school and almost failed to graduate. But the reason why I barely finished my studies was also because I was obsessed with video games during college. He has played every classic game on the Atari 2600 platform that has sold more than a million copies, as well as the world's mainstream arcade machines.

Masters who have played at least 100 games and have certain professional knowledge are exactly the talents that New Venture Electronics needs!

"I'll take a look!" turned on the power of the machine, and Lin Qi held the joystick of the arcade machine.

Single-player mode and two-player mode appear on the screen.

Single-player mode,It's a man-machine battle.,Although the computer is more rigid.,But,For the arcade efficiency of money.,So,It's much more difficult than the home console.,The enemy's computer,The number of tanks bursting out,Far more than your own.。

In single-player mode, you'll need a tank to protect your base camp and fight enemy tanks. In two-player mode, two tanks work together, which is more secure than single-player mode. Of course, when you choose Duo mode, the number of tanks on the computer side will also increase.

There are two situations that will lead to a "gameover"!

For example, if you are hit by the enemy's tank ammunition many times, you are killed by the enemy, and all the chances of resurrection are used up, of course, the defeat is over.

On the other hand, the player has many lives, but ...... If your own base camp is blown up by the enemy, it will also be "gameover".

chose the two-player mode, Zhang Ru as Lin Qi's partner, the two of them passed about three levels, and it took 6 minutes to regret that the tank sea of the computer exploded their base camp.

Lin Qi smiled: "Zhang Ru's level is not good!"

"Boss, it's the first time I've played......" Zhang Ru couldn't help protesting.

"Our newly started employees must become game masters!" Lin Qi said with a smile.

"How can a company boss encourage employees to play games!" Although Zhang Ru doesn't hate games, she always feels that playing games doesn't look like work.

"We are a game company, and our corporate culture is to ask employees to play more games and less to beat their wives. Lin Qi said with a smile.

"Hahahaha......" everyone present couldn't help laughing.

Zhang Ru didn't blush, and said in her heart, I'm not your wife.
