"Brother Zhao, we must overturn the provision of 'prohibiting the use of computers to engage in electronic game entertainment business activities', otherwise the public computer house (Internet café) market will not be able to open at all. Zhang Lexing, who put down the tableware, said to Zhao Haiguang.

"You have a point, but it's not easy. Zhao Haiguang sighed and said.

"It may not have been easy before, but now there is a great opportunity. Zhang Lexing touched his nose and said.

"Oh, tell me about it, what kind of opportunity is this?" Zhao Haiguang asked curiously.

"Brother Zhao, you should have heard of the Asian financial turmoil that happened last year. ”

"Financial turmoil?" Zhao Haiguang pondered for a while and said, "Oh, I've heard of it, it seems to have a big impact on Southeast Asia." ”

"In fact, this financial turmoil is not only in Southeast Asia, but also in Japan and South Korea, and even in China. Zhang Lexing nodded and said: "I don't know if Brother Zhao has paid attention to this year's policy changes, as far as I know, the indicators in the first two months of the country are very unsatisfactory, showing the grim situation of economic decline, it is very likely that the policy will be from the current moderate from tight to loose, and will be aimed at expanding domestic demand and maintaining the rapid growth of the national economy." ”

"But what does this have to do with the issue we just discussed?" Zhao Haiguang asked puzzled.

"To achieve the goal of expanding domestic demand and maintaining the growth rate of the national economy, it is inevitable to work hard from investment and the market, so I want to take this as a starting point, and plan to invest 2 billion yuan in three years to open 1,000 large-scale public computer houses (Internet cafes) across the country, which definitely has a great pull effect, and can provide at least tens of thousands of jobs. ”

After listening to Zhang Lexing's explanation, Zhao Haiguang was even more puzzled: "Although you have briefly analyzed the market size of public computer houses (Internet cafes) before. It seems that the profit should not be small, but we are in the game industry, so there is no need to go down to run a public computer house (Internet café) in person. ”

"I didn't have a way to think of this solution. Brother Zhao, to be honest, how long do you think it will take for us to slowly promote that system to achieve the goal of full rollout?"

"It's hard to say, if the system has to charge, it will definitely be difficult. Zhao Haiguang shook his head and said.

Zhang Lexing sighed: "Yes, and it was not easy to find a place to start at the beginning, there was no model to show the advantages of the system, and promotion could only be an empty word." So I hope to set an example by opening my own public computer house (Internet café), so that other people can make a comparison in this industry, and only if they want to use the system themselves, then it will be easier to promote. And with its own public computer house (Internet café), the 'Chinese Game Library' project that was built with money will be useful. ”

"No wonder you asked me to mention the 'Chinese Game Library' project at the meeting, it seems that you have planned it for a long time. Zhao Haiguang suddenly realized.

"Therefore, the provision of 'prohibiting the use of computers for electronic game entertainment business activities' has become the biggest obstacle, as long as this kind of regulation still exists, no matter how big the public computer house (Internet café) market is, it will not help us game companies. ”

Zhang Lexing deliberately did not explain the impact of online games in the future, because he did not want the domestic game industry to become a simple online game industry, although it can bring greater benefits, but it makes players have a lot less fun and choice, he believes that only the common development of the Internet, stand-alone games and video games can bring players a richer future.

Listening to Zhang Lexing's words, Zhao Haiguang fell into deep thought, although he still thinks that the "prohibition of the use of computers to engage in electronic game entertainment business activities" is not easy to overturn, but he also feels that Zhang Lexing said some truth, although he does not like to be in politics, but under the influence of his family, he is still clear about some things in politics, as long as the timing is right, many things are not completely out of chance. Moreover, Zhang Lexing is right, if computers can never engage in electronic game entertainment business activities, then these domestic game companies can only fight around the narrow market, and those who can survive may not even have one-tenth of them, and it is even more impossible to grow into such a huge company as electronic arts. Whatever the purpose, he couldn't go on this trip to the muddy waters.

After a while, Zhao Haiguang stood up and said, "Lexing, I promise you about this matter, I will definitely find a way to get that regulation." But it's not too early now, let's go back first, and we'll have to continue the meeting later. ”

"Brother Zhao, thank you so much, just say what you need. Zhang Lexing breathed a sigh of relief, he had already heard about the background of Zhao Haiguang and his group of friends, as long as they were willing to do it, I believe there would be nothing that really stumped them.

Just as he was about to go out, Zhang Lexing suddenly remembered something, took out a document from his bag and handed it to Zhao Haiguang, and said: "By the way, Brother Zhao, this is a complete set of related plans, after all, after it is really opened, there is no supporting management method, and it may be chaotic." ”

Zhao Haiguang took the information, flipped through it casually, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll send it over together." ”

As soon as the two walked out of the private room, they were met by a middle-aged man wearing a beret, a jacket, and a pair of glasses. Seeing the visitor, Zhao Haiguang patted his forehead and said embarrassedly: "Oh, I forgot about Mr. Yang when I was discussing things with you." Mr. Yang, I'm really sorry. ”

The middle-aged man was also free and easy, smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm not here." ”

"Let me introduce you to you. Zhao Haiguang also smiled and introduced the two parties: "Lexing, this is Mr. Yang Nanzheng." Mr. Yang, this is Mr. Zhang Lexing, who wants to contact you. ”

Zhang Lexing stretched out his hand, smiled and said to Yang Nanzheng: "Mr. Yang, I have admired the name for a long time, I heard that you have been in the army before, and today I saw that this is really the case." ”

"Mr. Zhang, you have won the prize. Yang Nanzheng also stretched out his hand, shook hands with Zhang Lexing, and said, "Listen to President Zhao, you want to talk to me?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang, I heard that you started working on WarGame, also known as wargames, nine years ago. ”

"Oh, Mr. Zhang is also interested in wargames?" Speaking of what he was interested in, Yang Nanzheng immediately became excited: "I wonder if you have ever been exposed to foreign wargames?"

"I've been in contact with it, but it's mainly a wargame game on the computer, such as SSI's five-star admiral series, which is too cumbersome to play and not easy to find people. ”

"Yes, it may be more difficult in China, so I went to Jinpan Electronics to develop a series of military games. Yang Nanzheng said with emotion.

"With all due respect, your game didn't count until Opium Wars, and the rest of the gameplay is really not very good. Mr. Yang, I heard that Jinpan Electronics is preparing to abolish the game department?"

"Hey......" Yang Nanzheng sighed and said, "Yes, I have made so many games, but I haven't sold much, and it's not a way to always lose money like this." ”

"Mr. Yang, are you interested in coming to my company?"

"What is your company?"

"Workshop, have you heard of it?"

"Of course, almost all of the most popular games on the market right now are from the Creative Workshop, so how could I not know. ”

"The Workshop is still short of talent to develop wargaming games, and you're the perfect fit, and I hope you'll come over and work together to develop a game that rivals SSI's Five-Star Admiral series. ”

Yang Nanzheng lowered his head and pondered, his heart was hesitating, if he stayed in Jinpan Electronics, the next thing would definitely be to be merged into the Jinpan Engineering Research Center of Tsinghua University, and it would be impossible to continue to do the military games he liked, and I heard Mr. Chen say that in the future, it may be necessary to let him be in charge of the work of disc delivery, which is really far from his ideal, and the only benefit is stability, after all, it is still a national establishment. If you leave Jinpan Electronics, then you may have to face a precarious life in the future, you are already a person who runs five, and it is difficult to say whether you can bear it.

Thinking about it, in the end, the ideal prevailed over comfort, Yang Nanzheng stretched out his hand and said to Zhang Lexing: "Mr. Zhang, I don't know when it is more appropriate for me to come?"

Zhang Lexing stretched out his hand to hold Yang Nanzheng's hand, and said happily: "Mr. Yang, welcome at any time!"

Yang Nanzheng's achievements in the development of games in Jinpan Electronic are not very good, but this does not hide his achievements in wargames, at least he is one of the few people in China who has studied wargames, if Zhang Lexing wants to develop wargames with oriental characteristics, then he is the best candidate. Although Yang Nanzheng's ability in game planning is insufficient, Zhang Lexing has no shortage of people in his hands, and when the time comes, he will combine his research results in wargame with the mature team of the creative workshop, and I believe that he will be able to make a game similar to SSI's five-star admiral series, although this kind of game is relatively niche, but under the huge population base in China, even if it is a small number, there may be a large number. In addition, wargame games can not only be sold as computer games, but may also be sold to certain departments if they are done well, and it may also be of great help to the research of computer AI when analyzing wargame deduction strategies.

The reason why Zhang Lexing wanted to invite Yang Nanzheng was that he hoped to use his research in wargaming to help develop computer AI design, and by the way, he could make a few games such as "Panzer Marshal" and "Magic Marshal", and on the other hand, he planned to develop a studio specializing in the development of military-themed games with the help of Yang Nanzheng, just like Jane's (Jane's Studio, which cooperated with the famous British Jane Group to develop military games) under Electronic Arts.

……

Back to the venue of the hotel, the meeting continued to discuss the future development trend of domestic games in the morning, and finally it was the turn of the experts who had the opportunity to speak impassionedly and talked endlessly, but Zhang Lexing sounded even more boring, but it was a formal meeting held by the association, and he was sitting on the rostrum, so he was naturally embarrassed to leave halfway, so he could only lower his head and pretend to read the information, and take the opportunity to rest with his eyes half-closed.

Half-asleep and half-awake, I don't know how long it took, an unprecedented, warm applause rang out, Zhang Lexing quickly opened his eyes and looked, it was really the experts who finished speaking, the meeting had come to an end, and he immediately applauded with joy from the bottom of his heart......

A week after the end of the "Seminar on the Development Trend of Domestic Games", Yang Nanzheng came to the creative workshop as promised, although he did not meet Zhang Lexing in the new office building of the creative workshop in Shangdi Research Park, but he was warmly received by the general manager Li Chunlin, and met with the main members of the newly formed Iron and Blood Studio.

"Mr. Yang, hello!" Wu Qian, the head of the Iron and Blood Studio, stretched out his hand and greeted warmly: "I am the temporary head of the newly established Iron and Blood Studio, and our goal in the future is to develop the best military games and wargames in the world, I am very happy for you to join in the grand event, I will introduce you to our team members." By the way, I'm actually a military fan!"

Yang Nanzheng was actually aware of it before he came back, and his game development career in the past few years has given him an idea of his own abilities, and he knows that he is not suitable to be in charge of a game development team now, as long as he can continue to do what he wants to do, it is already good. Following Wu Qian, listening to him introduce other team members one by one, Yang Nanzheng's mood gradually became excited, he didn't expect to be able to join such a large team when he first came. It turned out that when I was in Jinpan Electronics, although it was known as the Bauhinia multimedia creation team, it was actually only five or six people, and even when it was the largest last year, there were only fifteen or six people, and I didn't expect that this iron-blooded studio had already had a scale of nearly fifty people just after stepping together.

"No wonder the creative workshop has developed so fast in recent years!" Yang Nanzheng secretly sighed in his heart.

After introducing the team members, Wu Qian announced in front of everyone: "Mr. Yang is a senior wargame researcher in China, so the company invited him to serve as the concept designer and chief military consultant, and will lead our iron-blooded studio to focus on military-themed games and wargame games in the future, everyone is welcome!"

A burst of warm applause followed, Yang Nanzheng looked at the faces full of sincerity and hope, and couldn't help but be full of expectations for his future, maybe the ideas he had put aside for a long time also had hope of coming true this time......

More than two weeks later, when Zhang Lexing was in his office on the 26th floor of Oriental Building, Lockhart Road, Wan Chai, he suddenly received a phone call from Zhao Haiguang, in which he said curtly: "Lexing, there is something wrong with our matter. ”

"Ah, what's wrong, what's wrong?" Zhang Lexing hurriedly asked.

"The relevant leaders read your plan, and they don't understand a little bit, such as why there is a game rating plan in it, and we can't say anything about it, I'm afraid you need to come to Lexing in person. Zhao Haiguang's embarrassed voice came from the phone.
