Miyazaki Prefecture, located on the southeastern side of Kyushu Island, is famously nicknamed "Hyuga Country", both because of the former Hyuga Country and because of its warm climate, abundant sunshine and palm-lined scenery in southwestern Japan, which is loved by people in the cold regions of the north and foreign tourists.

Aoi Tao is such a northern Yankee who fell in love with this place, and after visiting this place with more trees than people with his classmates during a school trip, he grew up in the ice and snow of Hokkaido, and fell in love with the sunshine and greenery here. Then an idea came to him that he never wavered: he must create a manga based on the Miyazaki area, and later moved here to support his dream.

Although he has lived here for two years, Aoi feels that he has not seen enough of the beauty of Hinata. Whenever he goes out, he will habitually pinch his mobile phone, like those curious domestic and foreign tourists, from time to time to point the camera at the surrounding scenery and people, recording what he thinks is beautiful, interesting, and meaningful, and these photos are the material he prepared for his dream comics.

He used his commute to work and holidays to take a large number of local photographs, which filled three large-capacity diskettes. Today's Tao Aoi, because of the accumulation of practice makes perfect, has become a well-known amateur photographer, but the story that has been circling in his mind has never started to write, so he is still not a cartoonist, although he is indeed engaged in anime-related work and is responsible for assisting in the localization of animation software.

It's really just an assist,Whether it's an anime player that can optimize the picture quality or even switch the style of painting,Or comic auto-coloring software,And photo animation filters,The software that the company on the other side has taken is quite perfect,All they have to do is check whether there is a problem with the Japanese translation of the software,And confirm that the output of the software is in line with the aesthetics of Japanese users。

This is also one of the reasons why he has been unable to write for a long time, the emergence of a large number of automatic software is very convenient for ordinary people, but also makes the career of animation newcomers encounter more severe challenges, he has already failed once, he is obviously a little timid, and he does not dare to take the second step easily.

At the beginning, he applied for the animation major of the university, and after 4 years of specialized study, he aspired to become a professional cartoonist. But the competition in the neon animation industry is so fierce that the debut work was finally published after being repeatedly rejected, but the response was not good and it was quickly cut in half. After his debut failed, he was unemployed after graduation like some college students across the sea, so he had to leave his dream of going to Beijing aside and prepare to return to his hometown Otaru to inherit the family business.

However, burning glass is not his favorite, so after seeing the recruitment information of Bee Japan Co., Ltd. (BJCo.), and it is stated that the place of work is in Miyazaki City, he immediately signed up, and successfully applied for the job to become one of the original 36 people and has worked until now.

After checking the photos just taken, Aoi Tao glanced at the time by the way, at 8:15 in the morning, the driver's uncle was still so professional and punctual. But now was not the time to go to the company, so he got out of the car halfway down the road and ran to the street park to feed the cats.

Japanese people love cats very much, and there are many domestic cats and many wild cats, and they can be seen in parks and walls everywhere. The warm climate and abundant forest cover make these cats never worry about eating and drinking, and they can survive well even when unattended, but Aoi still likes to come and see them every day.

As soon as he entered the park, he saw a small white cat with a pink collar around its neck, which was crouching on the side of the road and looking at the door. The first time he saw him, the latter immediately stood up and turned around twice, although he didn't come over to show affection, but Aoi Tao, who was familiar with the other party, knew that it was actually very happy.

Walking up to the white cat and squatting down, he took out the picnic cloth from his bag and spread it on the ground, then took out a paper bag and put it on it, took out his mobile phone and turned on the camera mode and held it up, and then said softly: "That, Mo sauce, this is a gift that everyone asked me to bring you, please sign for it." Please!"

The little female cat is also an old driver, and she skillfully knocked down the paper bag with a small jump, and all kinds of small dried fish, snacks and colorful toys in it suddenly rolled to the ground, and it became more scattered by it.

But in fact, these things are faintly divided into two piles, the white cat is around its eyes, and around Aoi is the unlucky losing group.

"Ah, it looks like Mo-chan likes strawberry-colored toys lately, do you need me to tie them around your neck?"

As soon as he moved to Miyazaki City, Aoi adopted the cat and briefly served as its owner, but was abandoned by the other party.

Fortunately, the red collar around Mo's neck is a smart product he put on, and Tao Aoi found it smoothly following the GPS positioning, so he knew the story of the cat and its owner. Then he dismissed the idea of bringing the cat home and left it in the little park, because there was a wooden house opposite where she and her former owner had previously lived. It's just that the old man who put a collar tag on her and named モモ has passed away due to illness.

In Japan, names such as モモ (mo) and ミー (mi) are very common in the world of cats, because there are too many lazy people who believe that "cats are mi". Aoi Tao didn't change its name, but he preferred to call the other party by its English name, but fortunately, the other party was very cooperative and quickly accepted the slightly changed name.

Overall, Mo is a lively and active female cat who likes to be close to humans, which can be seen from her very regular daily action route. Wait for Aoi Tao at the gate of the park in the morning, play in the surrounding area in the morning, go out for a spin at noon and go to the shopping street to grab some snacks, return to the old house on time when it gets dark in the evening, and return to the park in the evening.

After discovering the story of the little female cat, Aoi sorted out the photos and videos recorded by the smart collar and published them on YouTube and Nico, this series of videos called "Diary in the Eyes of a Mo" is now very popular, and there are often foreign netizens who come to this area to see her, and send gifts to Aoi when he forwards more.

These things are obviously beyond the spending power of a little female cat, and most of them will eventually be donated to relevant public welfare organizations, but before that, it is his duty as the self-appointed exclusive Chancellor of the Exchequer to "sign off".

Before I knew it, time flew by, and when I came out of the park, Aoi habitually looked at his phone, and when the time came to 9:15, he nodded and it was just right, just enough to arrive at the company before 9:30.

As a Chinese-funded company, BJCo. is very special in many places, such as her work hours do not start at 9 o'clock. It's not that the company is doing a bad job, because Miyazaki City, which is located in the alluvial plain of the lower reaches of the Oyodo River and has a population of only one million, doesn't have many traffic problems.

The reason why the company decided to postpone work by one hour was the one-hour time difference between Bee's headquarters and Japan, and the half-hour shift at night allowed for better communication with the technicians across the sea. Fortunately, Kyushu Island is located in western Japan, and the local time is later than Tokyo time, so the delay of half an hour is not very significant.

Skillfully bowing and greeting the colleagues he met, Tao Aoi walked all the way to his desk and sat down, skillfully bent down and reached out to open the computer and began to work.

Many colleagues ignored the fact that the company was equipped with PT computers made by Bee itself, and continued their new relationship with the lady by the window, and some used Macbooks, but Aoi Tao did not insist on this and made a smooth transition to the PT platform, because the bee soft program apes on the other side of the sea impressed him on the first day of work and became their fans and admirers.

In fact, there are many more powerful software on the in and Mac systems, but the integration and localization of each other is not as good as doing it by rolling up your sleeves and doing it alone, after all, there are too many companies and developers involved, and the communication problem alone is a headache, which sometimes involves conflicts of interest and camp opposition, and it is even more difficult to reconcile the contradictions.

So Atletico Madrid is very entangled to find that the sales of the PT series in the island country have increased year after year, but the ARPU is declining month by month, because most users in Region 11 do not regard them as game consoles, but buy them back as pocket computers and civilian workstations, which is also laughable.

As a new platform, in order to win popularity, Bee has launched a free banner, announcing that all the software and games running on PT are free, and then relying on paid members and paid items to reap profits. But the choice of the people of the island nation hurt the bees very much. Because if you don't buy DLC and paid items, the game experience will be greatly affected, and the basic functions on the software for free have covered most of the needs, which leads to light users rarely paying for software memberships, and their presence will naturally pull down ARPU (average revenue per user).

What's even more depressing is that these commonly used software often involve Microsoft's patent barriers, but the result is that they make software for free but still have to pay patent fees to Microsoft, which makes people sad to think about.

In fact, the lion's share of the royalties that make bees pay royalties is still bee mobile phones, after all, the total sales of mobile phones are the largest. Fortunately, as a world-famous Bee software provider, Bee is not without bargaining weapons, and it is not as powerless as it is in the face of Qualcomm tax.

Of course, they are still making money, otherwise they would have stopped these businesses and concentrated on growing sweet potatoes.

Android is a good example, although Microsoft has collected as much as $6 billion in patent fees from Android device manufacturers, but mobile phone manufacturers have not abandoned Android because whether they use in10m or change it themselves on Linux, they need to pay a lot of copyright fees, and the expected sales are even worse.

For the Japanese branch, Atletico's attitude is similar, the partner dislikes the profit margin is getting lower and lower, and withdraws, but he has no intention of liquidating the flash, and after the other party withdrew, he changed the company to a wholly foreign-owned company.

After this small setback, Atletico and the management can be regarded as having a deep understanding of the closure of the Japanese market. From the official to the non-governmental, the degree of pursuit of foreign brands and foreign-funded enterprises is quite low, and the American father's Mickey Mouse has to wear a kimono to eat rice balls when he comes to Japan, and Tokyo Disney is not invested and managed by Disney.

We add more than 30,000 foreign-funded projects a year, while there are only more than 3,000 foreign companies in Japan, and we need to keep one-third of the identity, and bees still need to do a lot. Therefore, BJCo., which became a sole proprietorship, underwent a major transformation from a sales company to a technology research and development company. While providing technical support to other companies and developing new and localized software products on the other, the office was moved from Tokyo to Kyushu, where the high-tech industry is more developed, and settled in Miyazaki City.

Of course, at least on the surface.

In fact, the most strange thing about this company is that as a technology-based company, there are no full-time programmers in the company's employees, and the code is all provided by the other side of the sea.

Before moving, the company recruited people in the Tokyo area, and circled a group of people who were willing to work in Kyushu, many of whom were rookie manga artists and rookie musicians who "broke their dreams in Beijing", and Aoi Tao joined at that time.

Based on the Matthew effect of the strong and the strong, big cities have always been very attractive to people, Americans have the dream of New York, the French have the dream of Paris, and the Japanese have their dream of going to Beijing. It's just that the Tokyo metropolitan area is home to one-third of Japan's population, and the pressure to survive is also very great, so BJCo. can recruit enough employees to leave with it.

Of course, this also has to do with the size of the company's employment, a total of 36 people, many of whom are failures in their fields, which is not a problem at all for a metropolitan area with nearly 40 million people.

Their job is still to serve as a base for bees to enter the Japanese market, but now they have an extra layer of "wearing kimonos", and strive to make the products they provide more in line with the preferences and needs of local users.

It's just that this kind of grooming work is not what everyone expects to see, and although they have all been failures in Tokyo, they are still reluctant to do only some minor repairs. So their minister personally wrote a long letter to Mr. Ma to help them get a real independent project.

Now what is on Aoi's desk is the result of the project, a pair of AR glasses that you can see anime characters and let anime nerks wear that they don't want to take off!

If Fang Zhanping was here, he would definitely be able to recognize these glasses as bee glasses with a changed shell3, and Atletico Madrid kept saying that they were not products for the consumer market. But what people say is right, after changing the skin, it will be a new product.
