The first co-op call came sooner than Nick had expected. Nick is a native of the United States, and when he was a child, he never saw the story of knocking three times on the back of the head and going to Bodhi Patriarch in the middle of the night to learn his skills. But in a company dominated by Chinese, under the influence of such a corporate culture, Nick has gradually learned what it means to be subtle.

There is a saying that if you put up a pole, you can't make a deal.

If Wanhu develops a set of drivers for personal computers, they will sell them everywhere, even if they will be used by companies that make computer games in the last six months.

Because you used to make console games and handheld games, you say how powerful your drive is, so why don't you make your own computer games?

Before this doubt was expected, Nick "fished" directly by releasing the game. If any of the fish has spirituality, it will be baited.

When a fish is hooked, I think the bait is good, not salty, but are other fish slow to take the bait?

Making some money is a trivial matter, and Nick knows some of Takahashi's plans, and knows that Takahashi plans to develop a display standard on a personal computer in the future.

And now the most excessive display performance on the computer is the game, in this case, as long as the American computer game manufacturers are won over. Wanhu has a say in the issue of setting standards. If this is not done, there is no possibility for Wanhu to participate in the development of standards.

Some people may ask about the benefits of setting standards, but is it worth the effort?

Nick's answer was that it was worth it.

Why do so many companies always make something strange and not the mainstream standard of the market? For example, Sony can even be described as having fun.

It is because of the mastery of the standard that it is equivalent to the mastery of the "channel" of video game distribution. Other manufacturers relying on this "channel" must follow the rules of this standard and supply to the standard setter.

Even if it is not supplied, the upstream enterprises that are the standard-setters can better sell their own equipment that meets the standards.

It's like Takahashi asked Nick to start the layout now, just for the day when Wanhu's graphics card was successfully developed, he implemented his own graphics card on personal computers.

If you wait until the day when it is really developed, Wanhu wants to set a standard. At that time, the so-called standards may have been controlled by large enterprises such as Microsoft. At that time, 10,000 households were taken care of.

The so-called first-class enterprises do the standard, maybe the graphics card that thousands of households have worked hard to make, the real money is not as much as Microsoft, which sits on the ground and collects protection fees.

Takahashi's strategic intention to unite computer game manufacturers is just like when China was brought into the United Nations by third world countries and Asian, African and Latin American countries. Although individual computer game producers are weak, they are a force to be reckoned with together.

Computer games are different from other industries, Microsoft has tried several times on its own, but there is no way to use its own strength to enter the impenetrable field of computer games.

It's not that Microsoft is all mediocre, but Microsoft's ever-growing corporate structure and bloated bureaucracy. An ordinary cooperation project needs to be discussed for at least half a year just by meeting to discuss it. The game is really set up to start production, maybe it will take more than two years.

You must know that the tastes of the video game market are changing very rapidly, and in two years, the previous advanced design may have been eliminated long ago.

An antique-like game experience, if you want to get praise from players, you can't think about it with your ass.

And why can Microsoft's other products withstand such a long cycle? It's because other products pursue stability.

Although, Microsoft's operating system did not have a blue screen at the press conference......

"Well, yes, the price of each copy of the Magnum Drive is fifty cents. Yes, fifty cents. Nick repeated the price.

Because Wanhu pursues the penetration rate of universal drive among computer game manufacturers, the charging price of a single copy can be described as "cheap".

In the United States in the '90s, what did you do with fifty cents? A decent hamburger cost two dollars.

After the boss confirmed, he asked for some other indications, and he said that he would first purchase 100,000 sets of software licenses for universal drivers.

The boss's company makes games, and the sales are generally between 10,000 and 20,000 copies. Recently, the market has been better, and the games produced are more in line with the tastes of players. only to produce a popular model with sales of more than 100,000.

Don't look at the sales of more than 100,000, it doesn't seem like much. In this era, the sales volume of the console platform exceeded 100,000, and I dare to say that it has not completely served the street. Even if it is on the GG handheld of 10,000 households, the sales volume exceeds 100,000, which can only be said to be the level of the middle and lower reaches.

However, the capacity of the computer game market is that large. Counting the factors of piracy cracking, the sales exceeded 100,000. There will be at least half a million people playing the game.

A game has an audience of 500,000 people, which is a success for a game company with less than 10 people.

The 100,000 copies purchased by the boss are the number of copies that he will use for a game based on the continued success of the next game.

He believes in Simpson's vision, because Simpson's programming level is also quite top-notch among everyone.

Don't look at the boring thing of writing drivers, but it's really not something that an average level person can do.

Therefore, the boss took the floppy disk of Wanhu's "Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes" and stared at it directly, wondering where Wanhu found such a powerful programmer who could write such an excellent driver.

Is there such a good programmer in Ben?

In fact, there was none.

The programming level of this programmer can be said to be among the top five in the world. Sounds good to say, mainly because most countries don't have an industry that can support programmers.

At the end of the 70s, the whole 80s were in the video game industry. The first is to rely on the development of the country's electronics industry, but to grasp the pulse of the times.

But just like Hudson's signature programmer Shin'ichi Nakamoto, he has actually become a level, and it is definitely not top-notch.

It's not without top programmers, but there are definitely not many of them.

Satoshi Iwata, the director of the HAL Research Institute, which now belongs to Nintendo's second party, is one of them, and he led the production of "Kirby of the Stars", because of the special compression algorithm he wrote, under the same cartridge capacity, the quality of the game's content and graphics is better than that of other manufacturers' games.

However, there is only one Satoshi Iwata in the entire Nintendo.

How can there be a second one?

Wanhu's top programmers are from the former Soviet Union and from the Moscow Computer Center.

The combat power of the fighting nation is beyond your imagination.
