Chapter 40: The Spring Festival
Huang Yi's wedding finally came to a successful conclusion, and Song Shiqing was also satisfied. In the game session, there was a game in which couples tested their tacit understanding, and the host called her and Chen Tianliao up. Well, although it's a little embarrassing, it's not like the little vixen of Rabbit Tooth to go with him. Xiao Liao's performance is not bad, he knows everything about himself, but he doesn't know Xiao Liao well enough!
The girl thought wildly all the way. Although the development of children in this era is slower than in later generations when living conditions were better, the girls in elementary school who are in the fifth or sixth grade are also growing up slowly. Don't say that girls in this era are more pure, girls in all ages are the same. The difference is that girls in this era are more reserved, and the social atmosphere is more serious. Only when girls joke with each other will a little bit of the beautiful spring of adolescence be revealed.
Chen Tianliao doesn't have as many ideas as a girl. He knew the girl's thoughts, but only by knowing. Adolescence is one of the most changing periods in life. A person with a mature soul like him can say that girls still need a long time to grow up, to appreciate the various states of the world, their views on life are changing from time to time, and what suits her now may not be suitable for her at that time. How many of them are willing to live the same life as a child again?
Tuya continued to vacation in China, and Chen Tianliao often found time to accompany her. As she grows older, the rabbit teeth become more and more delicate, and putting her photos on the Internet in later generations may fascinate a large number of boys and girls. If it weren't for the lack of rabbit teeth' height, I'm afraid Song Shiqing would be ashamed of herself when she faced her. The sound of the rabbit tooth was not affected by the pitch change too much, but became more and more crisp and sweet. Every time he hears the sound of rabbit teeth, Chen Tianliao will think of a female singer of the Japanese Kingdom in his previous life - Sakai Noriko. He had the idea of using the Sakai method as a template to create rabbit teeth.
In the previous life, the name Sakai Noriko was the common idol of many teenagers in the 90s of the 20th century in the three regions of China and the Japanese country, and as the first Japanese actress to launch a Chinese song in mainland China, she also won the favor of the Chinese audience. That is, the Internet was not developed at that time, and Sakai's influence was relatively limited, but this did not prevent many teenagers from treating him as a goddess in their teenage years. And Rabbit Tooth is from a professional class, and he completely crushes Sakai in terms of singing strength. Her beauty, judging from the current growth direction, is not inferior to Sakai in her previous life. The only thing worse than Sakai is his height. She is now more than 165 cm tall, which is taller than most Japanese actresses.
So, after taking Rabbit Tooth to the capital for two days, Chen Tianliao talked openly and honestly about his thoughts to Rabbit Tooth's mother and daughter. Yumi Ogawa was very happy to hear this. But she thought about it for a while, and then said: "Kaomi has been taken care of by the firm since her debut. Although Liao Chan loves Kaomi so much, I am also very grateful. But I still want Kaomi to stay in the current office and work well for the office. ”
Chen Tianliao nodded approvingly and said, "It's okay, I help Kaomi, not because she is my artist, but because she is my friend." It's just that Kaomi is still young, so he still has to train in the group for a few more years. I'll continue to write songs for them. When Kaomi turns 16, I'll write her own album. ”
Rabbit Tooth happily hugged Chen Tianliao and said, "Thank you so much, Liao Sauce!"
Chen Tianliao smiled and patted her back, and then silently pulled out of her arms.
Rabbit Tooth played in the capital for a week and went back. Takekawa also went back. Because the Tetris game is about to be released. And Bomberman is also in the works. Zhuchuan, as Chen Tianliao's only agent in the Wa Kingdom, had to rush back. The division of the game is simpler, Chen Tianliao and Zhuchuan agreed that each person will get half of the net profit from the sales of the first three games. If the first three games are successful, Chen Tianliao accepts Zhuchuan's shares and sells 30% of the shares to Zhuchuan at half price. Chen Tianliao's preferential treatment of Zhuchuan is, firstly, to repay Zhuchuan for always being very enthusiastic about helping him, and secondly, Zhuchuan also has strong enough ability and a large enough background.
Chen Tianliao knows that the world has always been unfair. In both of his lives, he was born in an ordinary family. And the experience of his previous life has profoundly taught him that there is no absolute fairness in this world. With the same effort, the same ability, the ceiling of a person's life struggle without a background may only be equivalent to the starting point of a person with a background. This is true in China, and it is also true in the West.
Take music creation as an example, if Chen Tianliao himself is examined, I am afraid that he will have to sell it everywhere, and maybe he will hit a wall everywhere. Takekawa doesn't, her background makes it easy for her to get in touch with the artist's agent, the firm, and the company's executives. It's also twice as effective with half the effort to sell in this way. Taking games as an example, Tetris is a very good game, but without Takekawa behind, it will drag on for a long time whether it is development or sales. Takekawa wants to minimize the family's restraint on him, but she was born as a member of the Takekawa family, who dares to treat her as an ordinary person?
Takekawa is now working full-time as Chen Tianliao's agent in the affairs of the Japanese Kingdom, and his financial resources basically depend on Chen Tianliao, so he returned to the Japanese Kingdom and devoted himself to the work of game sales. this plane. One of the two game giants that Chen Tianliao respected the most, Nintendo of the Wa Kingdom, did not appear after the war, and thought that it would collapse during the war. At this time, it was Seruda Company that carried the banner of Wakoku Games. Like Nintendo, they are also a company integrating hardware research and development and game production, and the software and hardware are the first in the industry in the country, and they are also very famous in the world. At present, their handheld game consoles account for 90% of the sales in the country and more than 60% of the world's sales.
After playing with Tetris' cassette, the people of Seruta took it very seriously and agreed to help distribute it. Because Chen Tianliao wanted to make a name for himself with this game, rather than making money, the amount of concessions to Shiliutian was very large, so the cooperation between the two sides quickly reached an agreement. Takekawa returned to Japan this time to attend the sale ceremony and supervise the sales.
The game didn't get much attention when it first went on sale, but sales have been steadily rising. More than 30,000 cassettes were sold on the first day, and the following week grew steadily at a rate of more than 10,000 boxes per day. The second week suddenly exploded, selling 380,000 boxes of cassettes in one week and 250,000 boxes in the third week. After that, it gradually declined, and the first month of sales ended with 750,000 boxes. This is already a remarkable achievement in this era.
Simultaneously with the Wakoku, Tetris is sold on the desktop. Represented by the newly established but very good Rennes Games in France, it was released in Europe and North America at the same time. In the first month, the game sold more than half a million copies, which is considered a best-selling game of the era.
The popularity of the game has given Chen Tianliao's game company a good reputation. And the company's second game, Bomberman, also got everyone's attention. Chen Tianliao's genius was once again spread in the Wa Kingdom.
However, all this has nothing to do with Chen Tianliao in China for the time being. After a heavy snowfall, he ushered in a new Spring Festival. The Spring Festival of 1990 AD.
This year, as in the previous life, the capital ushered in the holding of the Asian Games. Although the Games only opened in August, the capital at this time was full of symbols related to the Asian Games, and even the temple fairs had launched Asian Games-themed events. Chen Tianliao looked at the scene of the street through the window, remembering the situation in another time and space when the Chinese people didn't even pay much attention to the Olympics, and sighed in his heart.
This is still an era of relatively scarce materials, of course, this lack has nothing to do with rich people, such as the Chen family. In order to cope with the Chinese New Year, the kitchens and refrigerators of the two houses were stuffed with all kinds of meat, greenhouse vegetables, imported food and other items. Thinking of the convenient shopping environment in later generations, Chen Tianliao was speechless about this practice of hoarding food. However, whether it is the older generation of Chen Aiguo and Li Ximei, or the younger generation of Su Yuejiang and Chen Mei, they all bought happily when purchasing, and even sang happily when they stored. Although Chen Tianliao had also experienced the era of material scarcity, after all, he was too young in his previous life, and he had an overly mature soul in this life, so he was completely unable to integrate into the happiness of his relatives' abundant materials, and was just silently a bystander.
Song Shiqing followed her father back to her hometown in Dasheng County. Su Yuejiang and Chen Tianliao's mother and son spent Chinese New Year's Eve with their grandfather, grandmother, and sister-in-law. What the Chen family ate on Chinese New Year's Eve was a hot pot that was not popular in the capital area in this era. Chen Tianliao felt that the hot pot tasted in a very reunion atmosphere, and there was no need for adults to work in the kitchen for so long, everyone could sit and enjoy it at the same time, which was the most suitable time to eat. When the adults heard this, they all agreed. The family's food is not large, so the ingredients of the hot pot are not much, mainly mutton, supplemented by vegetables, and mixed with some pasta. Under the bright fluorescent lights, while watching the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV, they talked and had a good time.
In this era, fireworks and firecrackers have not been banned in the urban area of Beijing, so as soon as night falls, the sound of firecrackers outside crackles non-stop, and all kinds of fireworks and kicks are constantly exploding in the air, as soon as you open the window, you can smell the thick smell of gunpowder outside. Chen Tianliao suddenly understood why the flavor of the year in this era was so strong. On weekdays, everyone's life is tight, and there is a lack of entertainment, and suddenly another day like this, you can give yourself a reason to indulge, you can let yourself be happy and entertained for a few days, which is naturally extraordinarily precious.
Chen Mei looked at Chen Tianliao, and while stuffing a piece of white and fat mutton into his mouth, he puffed out his mouth and said vaguely: "Let's go out for dinner, Xiao Liao." ”
Chen Tianliao took a sip of the soup slowly and said, "Don't go, children's things, it's boring!"
Everyone laughed. Not to mention, when the aunt and nephew are together, Chen Mei is really more like a child.
Chen Mei squeezed his little fist at Chen Tianliao in annoyance and waved it. Chen Tianliao ignored it and said, "By the way, sister-in-law, you are a year older again." You're twenty-three years old, aren't you? It's time to get married, right?"
Chen Mei picked up a big radish and stuffed it into Chen Tianliao's mouth, and said, "Don't talk nonsense, you kid, I'll stuff your mouth with a big radish." ”
Li Ximei smiled and said, "Xiaomei should get married." Xiao Liao, you know more people who read than your grandfather, are there any outstanding young people who introduced her?"
Without waiting for Chen Tianliao to answer, Chen Mei said coquettishly: "Mom! you are also here to bully people!"
The crowd laughed again. Chen Mei looked at Chen Tianliao, who was smiling the most, and said: "It's all your fault, what do you say about getting married!
Su Yuejiang nodded: "We have already said that we will get the certificate next month, but we haven't said whether to hold a wedding yet." After all, everyone is married for the second time, and he is a cadre, so if he can not disturb everyone, he will not bother. ”
Chen Tianliao nodded and said, "Mom, although you have discussed it with Uncle Song, if you have anything you want me to help with, just tell me." Anyway, I don't have anything for your son, I just have a lot of money!"
Li Ximei said: "Xiaoyue, I think it's better to handle it." Although you are married for the second time, isn't it contemptible to marry so quietly?"
Chen Tianliao interjected and said, "Grandma, you are wrong. Just follow my mother, my mother has my son, who dares to look down on her?"
When everyone heard this, they all nodded their heads again and again, feeling the same way. Chen Aiguo couldn't help but look at Chen Tianliao, then at Chen Mei, and said, "Alas, it would be nice if Xiaomei had half of Xiaoliao's potential!"
Chen Mei choked again. Damn, why don't you let people eat? I always compare others to a little fart all night, and the key is that I really can't compare to this little brat. What's even more tragic is that this little kid is not someone else's child, but a nephew of his own family, who is together all day long, even if he escapes, there is no way to escape. There is nothing more tragic in the world than this!
