In the following days, Zhang Lexing came to Dongfang Microelectronics, Dongfang Electronic Entertainment, Kunpeng Animation, Jiamei Toys, Application Technology Research Institute and other institutions for inspection.

Under the leadership of Dr. Yu, Dongfang Microelectronics expects that the production line of MIPSR-3000A CPU will be upgraded by the end of this year to reach an annual output of 3.2 million pieces, which can basically meet the future demand. In addition, at the request of Zhang Lexing, he began to develop a new generation of processors and corresponding auxiliary circuits, which are intended to be used in future game consoles, and this console is really the Chinese game console in Zhang Lexing's plan.

At present, Oriental Electronic Entertainment only has Maxis (Hong Kong), Blue Dragon Games, Activision, and Eidos, a few game development and publishing companies that are not large (the creative workshop has just been established and has not yet produced results, and Tianzhiyuan has not yet had time to take over, so it is not counted), the strength is not strong, and there is still a big gap compared with EA, as for Nintendo, Sega These game giants can not be compared, Zhang Lexing plans to think of a way.

Kunpeng Animation has basically stopped expanding now, and the task in the next two years is to completely eat the comic assets of the Mototsubashi Group, but as long as he thinks of the large number of dizzying names on the list of works, Zhang Lexing's heart can't help but bloom.

Jiamei Toys was established to cooperate with the construction project of the large-scale animation game production base in Shenzhen, and after the establishment of the company, many product designers were recruited from local and overseas, forming a fairly strong design strength.

……

When Zhang Lexing went to Beijing, it happened to be April Fool's Day on April 1. After leaving the Capital International Airport, Zhang Lexing didn't bother to go back to rest, and went directly to the creative workshop first, and it has been out for almost half a year, and I don't know what the company has become now.

Taking the elevator directly to the 8th floor, Zhang Lexing saw the new office area after the renovation was completed for the first time. Coming out of the elevator and facing the front desk, the reception desk made of solid wood is inlaid with a layer of glass, behind which is a huge company signage, in the middle is a few artistic words of the creative workshop, and in the upper right corner is the red O&G logo. Staying at the front desk today is a woman with a somewhat familiar back, wearing a green shirt-style roll-neck dress, with her back facing out, I don't know what I'm busy with.

Zhang Lexing got closer, and the woman also happened to turn around, and this time she saw that it was Lu Qiuya who had been interviewed, but she didn't seem to be in a good mood.

"Boss, you're back!" Seeing Zhang Lexing, Lu Qiuya showed a surprised expression.

"Lu Qiuya, you're not in a good mood, what's wrong?"

"Boss, you originally asked me to dub the game, but after this training, I finally liked the game, but the specific work assigned is to guard the front desk every day, and the difference is too big."

"It may be that the company's recent projects don't need dubbing yet, don't think about it, do it well, there will be opportunities in the future."

Seeing that Lu Qiuya's expression was much more normal, Zhang Lexing pushed open the glass door next to him, walked through the entrance, and entered the office area. Next to the entrance is a reception room, with an area of about 30 square meters, with two white leather sofas and a light-colored solid wood coffee table, a pot of melon leaf chrysanthemum in the middle of the coffee table, two Phnom Penh tiger pirans in the corner of the wall near the sofa, and several game posters brought back from the United States are decorated on the wall.

Leaving the reception room, and then go forward is the kind of transparent large open office area, the use of a large area of translucent frosted tempered glass partition is divided into several areas, the middle is the aisle set out, on both sides are respectively pasted with "programming department", "planning department", "art department", "project department", "administration department", "finance department" and other stickers of the office area.

Zhang Lexing walked into the office area of the programming department, because the program has the most people, so this area is the largest, which is divided into many office spaces with a half-height office partition, about half of the seats are placed with office supplies and computers, and the other half is reserved for the position. Most of the people in front of the computer are sitting, either using a mouse or using a keyboard, and everyone is busy there.

Zhang Lexing stood behind the one near the entrance and took a closer look, this person was not coding there, but playing a game there. On a metal-style background, squares of different colors slowly grow downward, and at the bottom of the screen is a long strip-like object that keeps moving, bouncing a metal ball upwards constantly, Zhang Lexing can see at once, isn't this the classic "Arkanoid". But soon Zhang Lexing found some abnormalities, this is not an ordinary arkanoid game, in addition to some conventional treasures, there are actually special treasures such as lightning (eliminate a vertical column at a time), bomb (blow up eight bricks centered on the bomb), etc., the most exaggerated thing is that some moments can also trigger a chain of lightning, and eliminate a large piece of bricks that are about to grow to their heads.

"Boss, you're back!" At this time, someone noticed Zhang Lexing when he got up and hurriedly said hello. This shout alarmed everyone, and the people in the entire programming department got up to greet each other, and Zhang Lexing couldn't continue to observe quietly, so he had to wave his hand to say hello to everyone.

After greetings, Zhang Lexing said: "Okay, let's get busy first, don't delay work for me." ”

After everyone dispersed, Zhang Lexing left Zhan Jun behind, pointed to the game on the computer at the door and asked, "This is?" ”

"Boss, this is our new game "Thunderbolt Bricks", which is basically completed, everyone can help test it and see if there are any bugs."

"It's not bad, is this one?"

"No, it doesn't take many people to make this game, but for the growth of new people, we have engaged in a series of 10 people. The rest of us are working on another project, an idea that John came up with, boss, come over here and take a look. ”

Zhang Lexing followed Zhan Jun to a computer inside, Zhan Jun personally operated and launched a game, as soon as the game screen came out, looking at the cars, trains, planes, ships and cities all over the map running around, Zhang Lexing was startled, this is not the "Transport Tycoon (TransportTycoon)" he once played.

Zhan Jun didn't notice Zhang Lexing's abnormality, he took the mouse and said while operating: "This is a simulation game proposed by John, in which players can play the role of a transport business owner, which began to develop in different periods from 1932 to 2000, with a variety of passenger cars, cargo cars, ships, planes, and trains to choose from...... It's not all done yet, and it's expected that there will be about a week to go, after which we can start testing. ”

"Let me try." Zhang Lexing couldn't wait to ask Zhan Jun away, he immediately sat down, took the mouse, and began to move and click. First chose a random map, and then found a city with the largest population to build a bus station in the city, after building four bus stations in the southeast, northwest and northwest, Zhang Lexing wanted to buy a car, but just clicked out the procedure and reported the error.

Zhan Jun next to him said: "Boss, there are still some program modules that have not been added, so some functions will report errors when you play directly, the scene you saw before was made by using the editor to test, if you really want to play, you have to wait a week." ”

There was no way, Zhang Lexing had to reluctantly put down the mouse, patted Zhan Jun's shoulder when he got up, and said, "Come on, do it well, remember to give me a copy when the time comes, and I will also help test it." ”

Leaving the programming department, Zhang Lexing came to the art department opposite, more than a dozen people in it were busy, all holding the mouse and drawing, Zhang Lexing took a closer look, it turned out to be the east and east in "Transport Tycoon", not only various shapes of cars, ships, trains, airplanes, but also trees and forests, terrain maps or something.

Coming out of the art department, Zhang Lexing came to the planning department next to the programming department, but it was empty, only the screen protectors of a few computers were flashing. Opposite the planning department is the project department, Zhang Lexing glanced by when he passed by, and there were three people nesting in the place where he thought there was no one, and one person and a computer were tapping the keyboard. When I walked in, it turned out to be Ken Silvermanze and the Han brothers. The sound of Zhang Lexing coming in alarmed the three people who were working hard, and they all wanted to get up and say hello.

"You don't have to get up, I'm busy with you first." Zhang Lexing motioned for the three of them not to get up, and then walked over to Han Jiaxiang and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Before Han Jiaxiang could speak, Ken Silvermanze spoke first: "Boss, we are working on the 3D engine and plan to make a better game than Wolf-3D." ”

"What's the work out of now?" Zhang Lexing asked curiously.

Ken Silvermanze shrugged: "Boss, we've only been starting for a week, and we haven't had any results yet. Now most of the company's manpower is busy with "Thunderbolt Bricks" and "Transport Tycoon", Zhan's side can't arrange manpower for me, and the progress of only the three of us is too slow, if I can find a way to add a few people, it should be much faster. ”

Listening to Ken Silvermanze's words, Zhang Lexing pondered: "In addition to the administrative finance, the creative workshop now has a special development team of 63 people, although most of them are only newcomers after three months of simple training, but it can be regarded as a game development company with more people in China, but compared with the development team of nearly 300 people in the United States Blue Dragon Games, not only there is a gap in quantity, but also in quality. It seems that the talent problem is the biggest obstacle to the company's current development, of course, this is probably one of the obstacles to the development of the mainland game industry, it seems that until the era of online games, this problem has not been solved, but the gap has a growing trend. It seems that I have to find a way to not let my company get blocked by the same problem. ”

Leaving the project department, Zhang Lexing thought about the problem of talents while walking, but forgot to go in when he passed through the administration department and the finance department, and did not wake up until he came to the door of the conference room. Just as he was about to turn around, Zhang Lexing heard Mike Ronald's excited voice in the conference room. Gently pushing the door of the conference room, Zhang Lexing found that the door was not closed, so he pushed the door open and walked in. When I entered the door, except for Mike Ronald, the planners who couldn't be found just now were inside, and they were all very emotional.

"I said, what's wrong with you, all of you are blushing and thick-necked." Zhang Lexing tapped on the door of the conference room, trying to get everyone to notice him.

The sound from the gate made everyone look over there, and they found that it was their boss who came, and they were all honest, but Mike Ronald was not seen at all, and he was still there.

Zhang Lexing came to the conference table and asked again, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Boss, we're here to discuss what to do in the next game, and everyone's opinions are a little disagreeable, so ......," Zhong Guoqiang got up and said.

"Oh, tell me what everyone thinks."

"As we discussed before, the company has not made a role-playing game (RPG) yet, so I plan to try this aspect this time. But everyone can't make up their minds about what style of RPG game they want to do, Mike wants to make an RPG game with D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) rules, Xiao He (He Yufei) wants to make a Japanese-style RPG, and Lu Yongcheng wants to make a martial arts RPG, all of which have their own supporters, so they can't be unified. Boss, you've been making games for a long time, so why don't you give us some guidance? ”

didn't expect the RPG style battle to appear in his company so early, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
