Gunhei Yokoi left Nintendo, where he had served for more than 30 years, and came to Hong Kong with more than a dozen of his subordinates, the main backbone of the former First Development Department, to start their new journey. When the news of Yokoi's departure appeared in the newspapers, Nintendo's stock price plummeted the next day, falling by 10% in less than half a day, and was finally forced to suspend trading.

Annoyed and angry, President Yamauchi couldn't find the whereabouts of Yokoi Gunpei for a while, but he was full of anger and needed to vent, so the First Development Department became the target of liquidation, all ongoing projects were terminated, personnel were emptied, and it was even rumored that the First Development Department was going to be canceled. The liquidation also affected the so-called "Shadow No. 1 Development Department" IS (IntelligentSystems), a SRPG game in development was cut in half half, and the development rights of the highest-grossing SFC game "Mario Kart" were also taken back by Miyamoto Shigeru with an excuse, which made the president Shozo Kaga feel very angry, but helpless, because the funds of the IS company are basically controlled by Nintendo.

One day not long after, Shozo Kaga had just returned home when he received a call from Gunhei Yokoi. It turned out that the current predicament of the IS company reached the ears of Yokoi Junhei, and he felt that this matter was inseparable from himself, so he gave Kaga Shozo an idea on the phone: "Kaga-kun, why don't you come to Hong Kong, with your technical level, I believe that you can definitely be appreciated by the boss, so that you can also get rid of Nintendo's control......"

Kaga Shozo thinks this is also a way, whether it can be done or not, at least there is more hope, after all, Nintendo's attitude towards the IS club is really unexpected.

So as soon as he got the ticket, Shozo Kaga hurried to Hong Kong. As soon as he got off the plane, he was warmly received by Xu Yeming and Yokoi Junping, and after a secret talk, the two sides negotiated the conditions, and the IS company quietly changed its door, and even the entire company moved to Hong Kong. When Shigeru Miyamoto wanted to transfer some personnel from the IS agency again, he suddenly found that the original office had been empty, and he didn't know where to go.

The arrival of the IS company further strengthened the game development strength of Dongfang Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd., and at the same time, Yokoi Junhei ushered in a group of members of the former first development department, who were dissatisfied with Nintendo's current attitude, so the strength of the handheld R&D team has also been greatly enhanced, and the process of improvement research has been accelerated a lot.

At this time when Nintendo was in turmoil, Oriental Holdings also seized the opportunity to start negotiations with Nintendo, of course, now the banner is to acquire VRBoy's related technology, for this product like chicken ribs, Nintendo has long wanted to give up, and now there are still people who want it, they are naturally very happy. However, the real goal of Oriental Holdings is actually GameBoy, so although Nintendo did not put obstacles in the way of the transfer of VRBoy, the team in charge of negotiations deliberately found some reasons to delay, hoping to achieve the ultimate goal unconsciously.

……

At the end of August, after more than three months of hard work, the Oriental Electronic Game City finally completed the decoration and equipment installation, and the relevant licenses were successfully obtained with the help of Zhao Haiguang and others, and the trial operation began.

On the first day of trial operation, Zhang Lexing arranged a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony, invited Zhao Haiguang and others from the China Game Industry Association, as well as some of its companies and some friendly units also sent flower baskets, as well as some reporters from game media, and even some mainstream media reporters that Zhao Haiguang found to find also appeared at the scene.

After picking up the scissors and cutting the red ribbon, Zhang Lexing led everyone into the Oriental Video Game City, and as soon as he walked into the hall on the first floor, everyone was stunned. I didn't think it was outside, but when I walked in, I realized that it was really very big.

The podium building has six floors, and the entire building is 36 meters high, with each floor being more than 5 meters high. In order to buy this podium, Zhang Lexing paid a full 132 million yuan, but even if it is not used here in the future, judging from the speed of real estate rise, it will definitely not be a loss.

The first floor is the entrance of the Oriental Video Game City, except for the lobby of about 300 square meters facing the gate, the rest of the area is divided into two areas, the 1,200 square meters of Le Beibei restaurant and the 2,500 square meters of video game hall.

"To the left of the hall is Le Bei Bei Restaurant, a 'food and entertainment' family entertainment center for children and their families, and we will provide guests with the double joy of food and games in a strong family atmosphere." Zhang Lexing pointed to the Le Bei Bei restaurant next to him and introduced.

Seeing that everyone was confused, Zhang Lexing pushed open the door of Le Bei Bei Restaurant and walked inside, and everyone followed behind him and walked in.

"Look, everybody." Zhang Lexing greeted him, and then introduced: "Lebeibei Restaurant is mainly composed of a dining area and a game area, in the dining area, we have hired professional chefs to provide guests with Chinese nutritious fast food, such as steamed vegetables, soup burgers, etc., which are very varied. The gaming area has 100 different types of game machines, including puzzle games, music jukeboxes, car rides, racing games, shooting games, basketball shooters, and more. The game machines are clean and absolutely safe, each game is also very cheap, only one token is needed, and there are redemption coupons for each game that can be exchanged for prizes, and the prizes are novel and cute, popular and fashionable toys and small gifts provided by Camry Toys.

Le Bei Bei Restaurant also hosts a variety of fun activities, such as clay making, handicrafts, biscuits, water play, wind instruments and family wine, etc., which is definitely the first place for children to celebrate their birthdays. There are only two rules here, firstly, young children must be accompanied by an adult, and secondly, adults must also be accompanied by children. ”

After Zhang Lexing finished speaking, he noticed that many people showed interested expressions, at least when they saw those game consoles. After waiting for a while, Zhang Lexing led everyone to the video game hall on the right side of the hall.

Walking into the video game hall, the decoration inside is a sight to behold. The Le Bei Bei restaurant is mainly warm and convivial, while the video game arcade here uses spacious space, luxurious decoration, bright colors and lighting to create a unified and cheerful art style, which is immediately distinguished from the dim arcade halls that are common on the street.

"This is the video arcade, and the area on the right hand side is the classic nostalgia area, mainly some old games that were popular in the 80s, and there are a few early 90's games, almost 60 machines, and the price here is the lowest, just one token.

The rest of the area is some of the latest game consoles, many of which have just been listed abroad, and there are all kinds of somatosensory game consoles, battle game consoles, amusement machines, etc., which can be said to be everything......"

"~Wow, there are so many game consoles here!" Yan Xiaowei looked at the neatly arranged game consoles, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he couldn't help but sigh.

The burly Wang Bo also showed an excited expression on his face, although he didn't speak, but he was obviously eager to try. Journalists from the game media are relatively young, and most of them are staring at the latest models of game consoles that have only come out this year, such as "The King of Fighters 95", "VR Fighter 2", "Tekken 2", "Bingfeng 3", "Dedian King 3" and so on have attracted their attention. Perhaps because of Zhu Zhechi, even those reporters from traditional media became interested in old games such as "Elevator Wars", "Tank Wars", and "Middle East Wars" in the nostalgic area.

Zhang Lexing snapped his fingers, and several waiters came over with trays. Zhang Lexing waved his hand and said, "Everyone, here are some game coins, let's take them and experience them for yourself." By the way, there is also a video game arcade on the upper floor, so don't forget to check it out. ”.

Everyone glanced at each other, but Yan Xiaowei took a paper cup from the tray and weighed it, estimated that there were about twenty or thirty pieces. Someone took the lead, and others also took their own paper cups, and then they all scattered, each looking for a game console of interest to play, and soon Zhang Lexing was left with only Zhao Haiguang and a few traditional media reporters who were not interested in games.

"Well, Brother Zhao, you don't go to play." Zhang Lexing asked.

The rest of the people shook their heads, and Zhao Haiguang also said: "No, I used to like to play, and I even thought about getting a few video game consoles to play at home at that time." Maybe it's because there are so many things to think about now that I can't be interested in it all of a sudden. ”

"I used to think so," Zhao Haiguang's previous sentence made Zhang Lexing seem to have found a soulmate: "At that time, I thought that I would buy a big house in the future, and then get a few video game consoles to put in it, so that I could play as much as I wanted." Now, though, I have bigger dreams. ”

"Oh, what ideal?" Zhao Haiguang asked curiously.

"I want to have a video game museum." Zhang Lexing explained: "I believe that many people will want to visit the various video games and game consoles that have appeared from the birth of video games to the present, accompanied by corresponding text and picture explanations, and the latest game technology display." ”

"I'm very interested in hearing you say that. Le Xing, when will you be able to build this museum? ”

"You know that I have a piece of land under development near the Shangdi Information Industrial Park, and when it is repaired there, there will be a place, and it is estimated that it will take about two years or so." Zhang Lexing glanced at the group of people who were playing the game console, and said to Zhao Haiguang: "Well, it looks like they still have to play for a while, why don't I take you to continue visiting." ”

"Okay." Zhao Haiguang immediately agreed, and several reporters beside him also nodded in agreement.

Zhang Lexing led the remaining few people and introduced as he walked: "On the first floor, in addition to the place where video game consoles are placed, there is also a place to provide free drinking water by the aisle, and there is a 300-square-meter rest area on the side of the stairs. ”

Pushing open the door of the rest area, Zhang Lexing walked in with Zhao Haiguang and others, and then closed the door smoothly, and then said: "The sound insulation effect here is very good, and the sound of the game console cannot be heard at all after closing the door." These sofas and chairs are available for everyone to rest, and there are newspapers and magazines on the newspaper shelves. In addition, there is a fast food restaurant and pastry shop next to the lounge area for everyone to eat. ”

Coming out of the rest area, Zhang Lexing went down the stairs inside the game hall to the second floor, and continued to introduce to Zhao Haiguang and others: "There is a 3,000-square-meter game machine area on the second floor, and there are almost all the regular video game machines on the market upstairs and downstairs. ”

Seeing such a large area of the game hall, even Zhao Haiguang couldn't help but exclaim this time: "It's so big, how much is your words." ”

"The money is not too much, I mainly want to make an image store to help our association set an example, so that everyone can see what a regular video game hall looks like."

"Then you have to invite a lot of people in a place as big as yours." A reporter asked from the side.

"That's right, the restaurant plus the game hall is about two or three hundred people, and we invited some laid-off workers and veterans to arrange some jobs for them......

Zhao Haiguang was very clever, and before Zhang Lexing finished speaking, he said: "Yes, Mr. Zhang is a person with a great sense of social responsibility, and he saw that many laid-off workers were diverted due to the restructuring of the enterprise, so this time the new store opened, and the laid-off workers were given priority as candidates." The same is true of veterans, who, as far as I know, more than half of these two or three hundred are laid-off workers and veterans. ”

Several reporters praised one after another: "Mr. Zhang, you are really very socially responsible!" ”

Of course, what Zhao Haiguang said was discussed in advance, although he was also the first time to come, but in order to improve the status of video games in society in many ways, he had to establish a positive image of Zhang Lexing, the Oriental video game city, so that the public could understand that the video game industry is not all for profit.

Zhang Lexing, Zhao Haiguang and a few others walked around the second floor for a while, and the people who were playing games downstairs came up one after another, and when they saw the larger game hall upstairs, they were annoyed with the few game coins left in their hands. Seeing that everyone was almost there, Zhang Lexing led them to the side and continued to visit.

The rest of the second floor, out of the aisle of the stairs, is the site of the Fengyun Game Club, including more than 200 square meters of office area and nearly 700 square meters of play area. The office area is mainly for the office of the club's management, and the editorial office of the member magazine that Lin Musen is preparing is also located here. The playmate activity area is mainly a place for the club to hold various activities, such as player gatherings, and the playmate activity area also retains an area of more than 100 square meters, preparing to add a batch of computers in the future to hold online battle activities.

The upper floors are temporarily vacant, and Zhang Lexing plans to leave them for future development. The third tier plans to open an internet café when conditions are ripe, and it can also be used as a venue for new online game launches and e-sports competitions in the future. The fourth floor is planned for dining, leisure and fitness areas, while the fifth and sixth floors are planned to be built into cinemas in the future. When all the construction is completed, it will become a comprehensive leisure and entertainment venue.
