On the morning of the second day after returning to Hong Kong, Zhang Lexing rushed to his office, as soon as he turned on the computer, the phone on the desk rang, he reached out and picked up the phone, and Zhao Haiguang's familiar voice came from the receiver: "Lexing, I heard that you only came back yesterday, how about France is not fun, watching the World Cup on the spot feels different." ”

"It's okay, it's a pity that Brother Zhao, you didn't have time some time ago, otherwise it would be more interesting for everyone to watch the game together. ”

"Hey, I can't compare with you, we are born tired. During this time, the situation of many domestic game companies is not very good, and almost every month they are closed, and I am worried every day. ”

"Brother Zhao, there is no way to do this, after all, even if the method we think of is useful, it is impossible to take effect immediately, and if we persist for a while, I believe it should gradually get better." ”

"Well, I hope so. Zhang Haiguang sighed on the phone: "Lexing, are you free next Friday?"

"Well, I'll see. Zhang Lexing took out a PalmIII from his clothes pocket, opened his recent schedule and took a look, there was nothing scheduled for next Friday, so he said into the microphone: "It just didn't happen, is there something wrong with Brother Zhao?"

"That's right, our association plans to hold a game expo in the second half of the year, ready to imitate the model of the E3 exhibition to operate, the specific operation has been basically decided, but I also want to ask you to check it, after all, we don't have enough experience in this area. ”

"That's no problem, as long as it's for the development of the domestic game industry, I'm definitely obliged. ”

"Then let's say it, next Friday, at three o'clock in the afternoon, it's still the old place, and the people who come are mainly people from the Organizing Committee of the Game Expo, in fact, the three guns of our association are all old acquaintances. ”

"Okay, Brother Zhao, I'll come then. By the way, did I receive the email I sent you yesterday?"

"Email? Oh, I haven't had time to read it, what's the matter?"

"Now that there are some places in China that are not flooding, I wonder if our game industry is holding a charity sale or something to raise some money for the disaster area. ”

"Oh, that's what happened, we actually have this intention, and we're planning to contact those game companies, but I didn't think you would have thought about it. ”

"If Brother Zhao needs assistance on your side, you can directly contact Mr. Chen on the Fengyun Interactive side, and I have already informed them. ”

"Thank you for your support, I'll arrange this. Don't forget, Lexing, next Friday. ”

"Don't worry, you won't forget. ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Lexing wrote down the schedule for next Friday in the schedule management of the PalmIII in his hand, and then put the PalmIII on the base connected to the computer, pressed the synchronization button, and synchronized the schedule to the office system, at the same time, his assistant also immediately received a reminder message, so that the new schedule was completed.

There was a burst of "uh-oh" sound in the computer speaker, and the ICQ icon in the lower right corner also began to flash, Zhang Lexing pressed the "Crtl"+"Atl"+"Z"three keys at the same time, and the ICQ message window popped up.

"Brother, when did you come back, you had a good time in France. It turned out to be a message from Yang Xinxin.

Zhang Lexing replied: "I arrived yesterday afternoon, I'm sorry Sister Xin, I forgot to call you." ”

"Forget it, who called me a sister to be magnanimous. ”

"Sister Xin, I have good news for you, I proposed to Shanshan, and she agreed. ”

"Really? That's good news, it looks like I'm going to have to get you ready for the plane. ”

"Ah, Sister Xin, you are still serious. ”

"Of course, my brother is getting married, and I, as an older sister, must give a big gift. ”

"Okay, then I'll have to be respectful and obey. But if Sister Xin is going to get married, I will also give my sister a big gift, how about a super luxury yacht?"

"Okay, dare to make fun of my sister, be careful when I call your Shanshan. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare......"

"Oh, get down to business. Brother, I've heard that there are major floods in some parts of the country, and it seems that the situation is quite bad. ”

"It's true, in some places, the county has been washed into the water, and many people are lacking in medical care and homeless, so I plan to set up a charity fund. ”

"Brother, how is your charity fund? Do you need help, I have a lot of money in hand. ”

"That's really thanks to Sister Xin, I'm still looking for someone to help, as for donations, of course, the more the merrier. ”

"Okay, when your fund is up, tell my sister the account number, and I'll send you a payment. By the way, brother, when are you going to get married?"

"The exact time has not yet been decided, it may be early next year. Don't worry, I'll let Sister Xin know you when the time comes. ”

The two gossiped again, Yang Xinxin was going to sleep, Zhang Lexing had no choice but to give up, close the ICQ message window, and start his daily routine. After looking at the work emails for a while, one of them caught his attention when one of them came to his attention from the Game Research Institute. The title of the email reads "Moonlight Goddess Prototype 02031 Major Breakthrough, Hardware Has Basically Reached the Listing Standards", followed by 3 exclamation points, and he immediately called up the body of the email.

After automatically filtering out the many professional terms in the text, Zhang Lexing basically understood the meaning of the email, after two years of continuous improvement, the original Moonlight Goddess No. 2 machine, that is, Zhang Lexing's heart's "dream" host, has been gradually reborn, on the one hand, the performance has been further improved, and more importantly, the expected production cost has been greatly reduced.

After hastily browsing the email, Zhang Lexing couldn't hold back his impulse, and immediately called Wang Mengyao, accompanied by the bodyguards, and hurried to the Game Research Institute to watch it in person.

The main system of the Moonlight Goddess II has not changed much, but the central processing unit as the core has been slightly adjusted, from the original MIPSR-4050A processor to the R-4052A that has been optimized in terms of dual-processor collaboration, the performance of a single processor has not changed much, but when the dual-processor mode is enabled, it can improve the performance by at least 20% more than the original system.

In terms of graphics processor, it has also been updated from the Redwood chip to the RedwoodPlus chip, which has increased the processing power by 36.7% compared with the original, enhanced the processing power of the light source during 3D rendering, and corrected the design flaws in the Redwood chip. The audio processor is still from the Emu10k1 chip of the innovative company, but the original chip for the testing stage has been replaced by the final version of the end version, not only the original bugs have been completely fixed, but the output ports are also more supported than the original.

These aspects belong to the hardware performance of the game console, but according to Chen Zhipeng, their biggest achievement in the past two years is to compress the estimated production cost of the Moonlight Goddess No. 2 machine to below 3900 Hong Kong dollars, and if the production line is further improved and a reasonable production batch is ensured, the production cost is expected to have a large room for compression. All this means that as long as the game is ready, the launch date of the Moonlight Goddess No. 2, that is, the "Dream" console, is not far away, which can be said to be the second good news for Zhang Lexing this year after Chen Zishan agreeing to his marriage proposal.

After instructing Chen Zhipeng to produce a few more Moonlight Goddess No. 2 machines, Zhang Lexing hurried back to his office, and then sent Yang Xinxin an encrypted email through the communication satellite of the VisualSystem Group, in which he attached the latest progress about the Moonlight Goddess No. 2 machine to it, and invited her to send someone to participate in a secret internal technical appraisal meeting in a month. Later, Zhang Lexing sent an email to the senior management of his game company according to the address book, without specifying the details of the Moonlight Goddess No. 2 machine, but asking them to come to the internal technical appraisal meeting a month later.

……

Fast forward to next week, during which Yang and the executives of the game companies emailed back, saying that the best game developers would be arranged to participate in the evaluation. The preparatory work of the Leshan Fund is also being carried out in an orderly manner, although Zhang Lexing did not deliberately publicize, but there are still many business friends who heard about it, and after Yang Xinxin, many people verbally expressed their willingness to donate some money to the Leshan Foundation, but the fund has not yet been formally established, and the amount of money that is willing to donate has been close to 1 billion US dollars.

On Friday morning, Zhang Lexing took the earliest flight of Shanghai Dragon Airlines to Beijing, and as soon as he got off the plane, he was intercepted by Zhao Haiguang before he saw the person from his company who came to pick up the plane. Because there were not many people involved, in order to save time, Zhao Haiguang temporarily adjusted the arrangement and combined the meeting and dinner, but he didn't have time to inform Zhang Lexing, so he had to come to the airport in person to block people, fortunately he happened to be blocked.

"Lexing, the plan has changed, in order to save you some time, let's talk together at lunchtime. Zhao Haiguang said embarrassedly.

Zhang Lexing doesn't care about this change: "It's okay, I have to eat anyway." ”

After speaking, Zhang Lexing waved his hand to let the others go first, and then followed Zhao Haiguang into the car he drove and drove to today's destination, Beijing Hotel.

After parking the car, I went upstairs to the private room booked by Zhao Haiguang, there were already two people waiting there, all acquaintances, one was Wang Bo, and the other was Yan Xiaowei. Seeing Zhang Lexing and Zhao Haiguang coming in, the two hurriedly greeted them and greeted them with smiles on their faces.

After a few words of greeting each other, they each sat down, and Zhao Haiguang shouted outside the door: "Waiter!"

The waiter immediately pushed the door and walked in, and asked with a smile, "Gentlemen, what are your instructions?"

"It's time to serve, hurry up!" Zhao Haiguang commanded.

"Okay, I'll go and tell the kitchen, please!" the waiter smiled and bowed, turned and left the room.

"Come on, drink tea first!" Zhao Haiguang poured a few cups of tea, put them on the glass table in the middle, and then turned to Zhang Lexing's face.

"Thank you. Zhang Lexing took a sip of a cup of tea, and then put the teacup in front of him. Wang Bo and Yan Xiaowei also took a cup and drank it separately.

Zhao Haiguang coughed lightly twice, and then tapped lightly on the dining table with his hand, Yan Xiaowei, who was drinking water with his head bored, raised his head, took a document from Wang Bo's hand, and then handed it to Zhang Lexing.

"Dong Zhang, this is the planning document of our game expo, the time is relatively tight, and the preparation is relatively hasty, so I would like to ask you to help review and review. Yan Xiaowei pushed the document over with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll take a look first. Zhang Lexing nodded and reached out to pick up the document.

According to the document, the full name of the so-called game expo is the "International Digital Interactive Entertainment Products and Technology Application Expo", which is co-sponsored by the General Administration of Press and Publication, the Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the National Copyright Administration, the Ministry of Culture and the China Game Industry Association. The exhibition will be held at the Beijing Exhibition Center for three days (October 8th ~ 10th, which is the three days before the Game Developers Conference).

Zhang Lexing roughly browsed the plan of the game expo, and felt that it was more fully considered, and basically thought of every aspect involved, and he had nothing to add for a while. It just so happened that at this time, the waiter began to bring up the dishes ordered in advance one after another, and under Zhao Haiguang's greeting, everyone simply ate first.

I put a piece of slippery tenderloin in my mouth, and when I was chewing, Zhang Lexing suddenly thought of it, so he swallowed the piece of tenderloin in his mouth, put down his chopsticks and said: "I think this exhibition can be divided into professional days and ordinary days, professional days only entertain publishers, distributors, developers, media, etc. in the industry, and ordinary days are when the general audience enters, so as to avoid the exhibition only for a certain level, we can also flexibly adjust the time of professional days and ordinary days according to the specific situation." For example, in the first exhibition, if there are not many game companies participating, then we can set the first day as a professional day, and the next two days as ordinary days. ”

"Lexing, you make a lot of sense. Zhao Haiguang knocked lightly on the table and said happily: "Actually, we are worried about this matter." As you know, we have initially contacted many companies and are not many of them who can participate in the exhibition. Try what you say, it should be good. ”
