Chapter 20: Nintendo's Beginner's Club (1)

In the blink of an eye in 88, Zhang Lexing still stayed in the Friendship Hotel, listening to the feedback from the coast every day, except for an occasional trip to the Rising Sun Software, he rarely went out, but on the weekend he went to the Tiananmen Tower, which had just opened. Zhang Lexing had been to Tiananmen Square once in his previous life, when he was in college, and now he is standing in the same place again, but his mood is completely different.

In mid-January, Zhang Lexing saw on television that after China and Britain signed a joint statement more than three years ago, China and Portugal also officially signed a joint declaration on Macao, and since then the countdown to Macao's return has begun.

At the same time, Zhang Lexing's original plan to set up a research institute in Shanghai to learn machine hardware came to naught due to a sudden epidemic of hepatitis A. At this time, the outpatient clinics of Shanghai hospitals were unprecedentedly crowded, and even factories, schools, and even department stores around the hospital were full of beds, and the streets were full of rumors and rumors. The Hong Kong man who was about to return to his hometown to set up a black-and-white television factory had just arrived in Shanghai and encountered this situation, so he was so frightened that he didn't even leave the airport, so he went home directly, and Zhang Lexing asked him to find a suitable place to open a research institute, so he had to postpone it.

After the Lantern Festival, Zhang Lexing couldn't stay any longer, because Kylin4.0 had been tested for a long time and could be launched on time.

On March 12, the fourth day of Zhang's return to San Jose, the VisualSystem new product launch conference was held at the conference center of the Marriott Hotel as scheduled. At half past 9 o'clock in the morning, the media reporters and manufacturer representatives who participated in the conference began to enter one after another, as hardcore allies, Intel, Compaq, Dell and other companies attach great importance to this conference, and the people who came to participate are at least the CEO or CTO and other important ones, out of politeness IBM was also invited, of course, IBM will definitely not send any important people, at most it is to send an ordinary staff to deal with it. Taking advantage of the large number of people entering the venue, Zhang Lexing was dressed in casual clothes, hanging the ID of the manufacturer's representative, and also mixed in, he was not interested in following the army to enjoy the "warm" care of the media. In fact, from the beginning of the company's operation, Zhang Lexing paid great attention to keeping a low profile and did not accept media interviews, so in the eyes of media reporters, the star of VisualSystem is Yang Xinxin, a Chinese female CEO who led the company from scratch, Steve Ballmer, a natural sales star and speaker, and Bill Ballmer, the company's chief scientist. Joey is Kildare, the father of the disk operating system, and others, but Zhang Lexing, the chairman of the company, has always been an enigmatic figure.

Following the crowd into the venue, Zhang Lexing specially chose a seat in the middle and sat down, next to him was a young man with brown hair, he was bored looking at the promotional materials of the press conference, heard someone sit down, turned his head and nodded to say hello, and then continued to immerse himself in the promotional materials in his hand. Zhang Lexing glanced at the sign hanging on his chest, unlucky, it was so unfortunate that he was from IBM. Zhang Lexing got up and looked around, except for the first two rows of seats, there were either people in the other places or they happened to be next to the media reporters, forget it, it's better to hide here and be cleaner, anyway, this IBM guy shouldn't know himself. Zhang Lexing turned his head and looked at the entrance, where some media reporters with cameras or microphones were waiting, presumably waiting for someone from VisualSystem to enter, trying to dig up some exciting news.

At 9:50, Yang Xinxin, Ballmer, Kildare, Grove, Harris and others appeared at the entrance of the venue, and suddenly the white light flashed non-stop, and the clicking sound was endless, and the microphones desperately stretched out to Yang Xinxin and others in the core of the crowd. "Miss Yang, there are rumors that IBM intends to abandon the Kylin system, what do you think of ......", "Professor Kildare, will you continue to update your own CP/M system ...... after joining the Kylin system development team", "Mr. Gloff, Mr. Harris, it is said that you and VisualSystem are secretly allied against IBM, is it true?", "Mr. Ballmer, will Mr. Gates attend today's press conference......", one sharp question after another was thrown. Seeing everyone struggling to move forward in the flashing lights, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but secretly congratulate himself on the wise move of acting alone.

At 10 o'clock, Ballmer finally got rid of the media entanglement and walked onto the stage, and with his speech, "Gentlemen and ladies, welcome all here......", the launch of Kylin 4.0 officially began.

……

This month's schedule is very tight, just after participating in the Kylin4.0 press conference, there is still time to rest, the next day Zhang Lexing and his entourage took the plane again, flew to Kyoto, Japan, to participate in Nintendo's 88 spring heart meeting. Originally, Zhang Lexing rarely participated in meetings like this, and generally only needed KF-Panda to send a representative, but this time it was different, in addition to the ordinary invitation letter of the original heart meeting, Yamauchi Pu also solemnly sent him an invitation letter, it seems that there should be something important to discuss, as an important partner of Nintendo, of course Zhang Lexing can't refuse.

Walking through the streets of Kyoto, Zhang Lexing once again felt the simplicity and elegance that swept his face, without the slightest influence of industrial society, even if there was a certain frenzy in the whole of Japan at this time, but it seemed that he had missed this place. Riding to the ANA Hotel, where the Chuxin Club was held, Zhang Lexing met Yuko Nagai, Nintendo's receptionist.

Yuko has been doing very well recently, since she lost a good opportunity because she didn't know English, she began to work hard to learn foreign languages, reception etiquette and other knowledge, and gradually the boss began to focus on this diligent girl, Yuko's position has also been slowly promoted from the initial front desk to the reception manager, plus the stock market is rising every day, Yuko's life is getting more and more prosperous. Today's task is to host the company's important partners, and Yuko knows that she will not make the same mistakes as before, and she will have to put on a good show at this important time, and maybe she will be able to seize new opportunities.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang. Welcome to Kyoto, I'm Yuko Nagai, Nintendo's reception manager, I'll serve you next, do you need to take a break in your room?" Yuko bowed deeply and greeted proficiently in English.

"Okay, you lead the way. "After sitting for a long time, although I have slept on the plane, Zhang Lexing still feels a little uncomfortable, and it is good to take a rest.

"Mr. Zhang, please come over here. Yuko very respectfully motioned to Zhang Lexing and his party to go to the elevator.

Zhang Lexing nodded and walked forward, the entourage followed closely behind, and Yuko followed on the left, introducing as he went.

"Mr. Zhang, the opening time of the Chuxin Club is tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the morning, and the venue is in the large conference room on the third floor of the hotel, and I will inform you when the time comes. Your room is on the west side of the eighth floor of the hotel, and you can see the famous Nijo Castle in Kyoto from the picture window of the guest room, especially at night, you can not only enjoy the charming night of Kyoto, but also enjoy the bright lights of the castle.

There are seven different restaurants and bars, and if you're looking for traditional Kyoto cuisine, head downstairs to Unkia, where you can enjoy a beautiful view of the Japanese tea plantations and choose a private Japanese-style room. If you're looking for a special steak, head to Nijo, where you'll find delicious Kobe beef in addition to steak. If you're in the mood for traditional Chinese dishes, head to Karin Restaurant, where you can choose between à la carte or set menus. If you're looking for a French meal, head to the RoseHome ......"

With the end of Yuko's explanation, Zhang Lexing and others also came to the guest room on the eighth floor. After handing out the room key to the entourage, Yuko took the last key and carefully opened the door of a suite, and then said respectfully, "Mr. Zhang, this is your room." ”

Zhang Lexing nodded, carried her luggage to the room, and when she passed by Yuko, she presented the key to the room with both hands, and said more respectfully: "Mr. Zhang, this is your key, please take it." If you need anything, you can come to me, I'll be waiting outside your room. ”

"Okay, I'll rest first, you can get busy with other things first, and then call me when it's time for dinner." Zhang Lexing took the key, walked into the room, and closed the door with his hand.

……

Tomorrow is the day when the original intention will begin, and representatives of game developers and wholesalers from all over the world have almost arrived. When Zhang Lexing woke up and went to the restaurant under the leadership of Yuko, he saw many familiar insiders, and even saw Yuji Tsui and Hironobu Sakaguchi of Scowell's company. The two of them were flushed, full of alcohol, and they helped each other to staggered out of the restaurant, and they drank a lot at first glance.

"Big boss...... , Do you want to play together at night, the mother who is familiar with the well has a new introduction. Sakaguchi, who had a mustache, recognized Zhang Lexing and greeted him inarticulately.

Seeing the two people who were not drunk approaching, the bodyguards became nervous, Zhang Lexing waved his hand to signal the bodyguards to relax, and then said to Sakaguchi: "Go ahead, be happy and happy, we haven't had dinner yet." ”

After dinner, Zhang Lexing asked Yuko about the nightlife in Kyoto, and then he realized that the night in quaint Kyoto was not as bustling and lively as he imagined, that is, looking at the night view of the city or occasionally being lucky enough to enjoy an open-air performance, and I didn't know where the Sakaguchi duo ran to be happy.

Under the leadership of Yuko, Zhang Lexing and others first went to Nijo Castle next to ANA to look at the night lights, and then drove to Pontocho, which is said to have an authentic Kyoto flavor, to play and taste the furnishings along the street in the mysterious and mysterious ancient and modern intertwined, and then tasted the flavor snacks in the winding alleys, and Zhang Lexing and his party returned to the hotel. Outside the hotel, Zhang Lexing noticed that the room between Dujing and Sakaguchi was still dark, and it seemed that they might not come back tonight.
