Chapter 25: Laughter and Tears

"Talked? It's going well. Hayashi sat in his seat and said to Oda, who was standing in front of his work.

In the beginning, these people who were older than him stood at his desk and reported work, and he didn't get used to it. However, over time, even if you don't adapt, you have to adapt. After all, this is the rule of business.

When Oda heard Hayashihiko's words, he knew that he also knew that this was a difficult task, and although he didn't show it on his face, he was still a little happy in his heart.

Because it means that his work has been recognized.

Oda explained the whole process in detail. From the fact that he had just entered Takada's house and sat outside the house for an afternoon, to Takada's father's performance.

Lin Yan listened and felt that Gao Tian's parents were quite open-minded. After all, there was a recent incident that had a very bad impact on video games.

Before this, many parents already thought that playing video games was a plaything, and going to an arcade hall would turn them into a bad teenager. And that incident happened to be used as evidence, and the theory of video games harming people was very loud for a while.

In this context, video games are not like wolves in the eyes of parents. Takada's parents were so open-minded that it was relatively easy for their son to take up such a job and sign a contract with a video game company. It was also a surprise to him.

Although, there must be an element of money in this. However, the amount in the contract proposed by Lin Yan was not very high. Although it may be looking at the high point now. But compared to the billions of dollars that the full version of Pokemon will bring, it's just a drizzle.

Of course, others don't know about the games made by Takada. There will be so much potential.

Lin Yan won't say it, otherwise what if Gao Tian is snatched away.

For Lin Yan. Everything that's going on in the video game industry today. It was all within his expectations. And the rest, looking at the future of video games, is a blank slate.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the fear of the unknown that Lin Yan now has some thoughts on the development process of video games in his memory.

"Pokemon" was launched when he wanted to delay the launch of the handheld, and naturally it was because of this.

Perhaps, he is really developing everything step by step now, and not something else, after all, it has become unknown. It's really confusing.

Of course, if human technology is still developing as he remembers, even if there is a deviation, it will not be too big.

Takata's business is done.

The next step is to prepare for the Video Gamers Conference.

The second edition of the Video Gamer Convention will still be held in Akihabara. Compared with the first session, there will be more manufacturers participating in this conference, and more players will come.

These seem to be quite uplifting. But this also means that the organizers need to put more effort and effort into it.

Originally, Lin Yan wanted to hold a "Game Developers Conference" corresponding to the "Video Gamer Conference" in the winter corresponding to summer.

But. Due to various reasons, it was not held.

One of the reasons for this is that Akihabara is now almost the center of video games in the world. Even if there is no gathering, there will still be communication when it is time to communicate.

And if you invite overseas game producers. The bigger question is who to invite.

After all. Invitation means the cost of air tickets, accommodation and other expenses, if the number of people invited is relatively small, but the real strength of the person is missed, it is a future loss. And if there are many people invited, cast a wide net, but there are still no really powerful people. That's the loss now.

In the end, Hayashi and Chiba Yuki agreed.

After the red and white machine officially enters the U.S. market, the "Game Developers Conference" will be held.

In this way, if you meet someone who is really capable, it will be easier to absorb them into the North American branch of Chiba Games.

Lin Yan heard Chiba Yuki say that the North American branch of Chiba Games is already in the process of being formed.

The head of the branch is an older brother of Yuki Chiba. It's his cousin.,It's different from Chiba Yuki's step-by-step cultivation of the family.。 He is more rebellious, and has lived in the United States since he was a teenager, so he can be regarded as an American expert.

Of course, Chiba Yuki didn't tell Hayashi that the reason why her cousin was rebellious was because he was an illegitimate child.

What is the life of an illegitimate child like in a large family, Chiba Yuki has seen. It can't be said to be miserable, it can't be said that there is a last meal or a next meal, but it is not too much to describe it with the word desolate.

If Lin Yan knew the experience of Chiba Yuki's cousin, he might sigh in his heart, this is similar to the protagonist in the web novel he has read.

Perhaps, Chiba's eldest cousin also said, "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty".

Since, the old man of Chiba, the eldest cousin of Yuki Chiba, is in charge of the North American branch of Chiba Games, it can also show that he is indeed a person with a level.

Perhaps, maybe it can really counterattack. You know, reality is always going to rise faster than fiction.

In the third month of the red and white machine entering the European market, the red and white machine has been in the European market and has achieved widespread success. The total sales of red and white machines in the world have also exceeded 10 million units.

This became the first home console in the history of video games to sell more than 10 million.

Of course, the first 100,000 units, the first million records, were all set by the red and white machine.

Because of this news, Chiba Games also celebrated a big time. At the group dinner, the employees also learned a good news.

Chiba Games has entered the sequence of the top 100 Japanese companies. Although the ranking is only over 90, it is an honor to think that there are tens of thousands of companies in Japan and can be ranked in the top 100.

Not to mention anything else, even the wives of employees in the company will feel that their faces are shining when they go out to buy groceries.

Lin Yan was not excited about these news. From the time he made Space Invaders, he knew there would be such a day.

When the video game is released from the box, it means that it will develop rapidly.

It's only been a little over a year now, and it's what it is now.

If it develops for 10, 20, or 30 years, it will be a different look in the eyes of everyone.

In the process, there are many companies that will rise and then decline. In the end, they converge and weave into a magnificent video game picture.

Of course, this seems to be a magnificent picture to outsiders, but for the participants, it is a real laugh and tears. (To be continued......)
