Chapter 7 Successful development of smart phones
The heavy rain has stopped at the beginning, and the weather is already the next day after the rain.
Lin Yan, Mayu Riverside and Chiba Yuki went to Tiananmen Square to watch the flag-raising in the early morning of the next day, and went to the Forbidden City in the morning to have a look. The next part of the journey is to start taking the train.
That's right, the way they traveled this time was still train travel. In fact, since Lin Yan led the development of the "Railway Simulation" game. There are many people who really rely on the railway and come on a trip.
This kind of travel is a very different experience from the kind of flight to go to one attraction after another. In fact, the folk customs of a country and a region can be well expressed in this process.
In fact, those who have been working in the field all year round in the "Railway Simulation" project team say that the people at the bottom of most countries are actually very friendly and kind.
Of course, unfriendly behavior also exists. For example, when they were in Paris, they were robbed in the streets by people of some kind or something.
Later, I went to the police, but it was in vain. Fortunately, Chiba Games has a local office, so they can solve the problem relatively easily.
However, after that, they encountered quite a few similar things in Europe. As a result, they say, Europe is not actually very suitable for train travel.
And, on their official website, such an announcement was placed.
Of course, compared to the safety index of India's one-star, it is still much safer.
The problem with Indian trains is that there are too many people, and there may not be a seat ticket, or even a station ticket, and sometimes there are tickets hanging outside the train.
But it doesn't matter, what matters is that they despise women excessively. The female translator in the entire field team. I was almost dragged away by a couple of Indian men.
Fortunately, the men in the field team reacted quickly enough to avoid such a tragedy.
In fact, the development status of a country can also be seen from the railway.
Compared with China, it is a relatively complete and coordinated country. Many parts of India, though bearing the name of India. But in reality, not in fact, they admit that they are Indian.
How to put it, it's probably like when it was the Republic of China. At that time, there were many warlords, and each of them had his own mountain, and none of these mountains obeyed anyone, and the actual result was that the country, although nominally agreed. But it is in a state of actual division.
Of course, the field team can give advice to others that they should not come here.
However, they can't say that the security of that place is not very good, so they will not go. Because, making "Railway Simulation" is a big project.
If not, do not conduct a field visit. There are some things that you can't actually find.
A simulation game, it's not like looking at the photos in the book and fooling around.
What a country really looks like. What kind of customs and customs there are, in fact, can't be well explained in books.
Not to mention. The project team also has a cooperative relationship with NHK, and every year a national documentary is released. If you don't go to a place because the law and order is not good, isn't that a breach of the contract?
Of course, the security is in a place that is too bad, and I won't go there.
Chiba Games said that because the company is growing day by day. There are some cold-blooded tendencies, but they haven't been cold-blooded to that extent.
Getting on the train, Mayu by the river looked out the window at the huge platform and said, "I really didn't think about it before." There will be such a big platform in other countries. ”
In fact, some of Tokyo's train stations also have subway stations, which are no less complex than China's largest train stations, or even more complex.
Because some of them are underground stations, the map of some stations looks like an intricate nest of ants.
If you are new to this train station and are not familiar with the route, there is a high chance that you will get lost.
The train station in Beijing is not like that. I guess the land price is relatively cheap.
The train moves slowly, and the green train is definitely not very comfortable to sit on.
This train is going south, out of Beijing, you can see on both sides of the railway, many heavy industry plants.
If you continue walking, you will see patches of farmland and mountains.
Lin Yan Chiba has three people by the Xi River, looking out the window for a while, and taking out a set of "Destiny Game" to play for a while. No, just grab the camera and take a picture at will.
Because of the time, it is not the peak season of China's railways. So, there aren't particularly many people who take the train. Although there are not many empty seats, all the people on the train can have seats.
In this case, it is actually more difficult to talk to people. Of course, this is for the three of Lin Yan.
Because, one of the three people Lin Yan understands Chinese.
Therefore, in this inconvenient situation, the three of them deliberately chose a hard seat, just to be able to talk to others more conveniently.
However, what is more embarrassing is that although Lin Yan Chiba Yuxi and the three of them sat in a row, there were three people opposite. However, two of the three people are the kind of people who take a bottle of wine, get in the car and drink it, and then start to get confused.
And the remaining one, holding a book, which is not good in his hand, has no chance to speak.
Therefore, the three of them can only play on their own. Anyway, they were new to the tour, and they didn't have a mission like the Field Team, so they didn't have to talk to others.
In fact, Hayashi had the intention to hand over "Railway Simulation" to Chiba Games' game studios in various countries.
In fact, the main function of the game studios set up by Chiba Games in various countries is not to make games, but to translate and optimize localization.
After all, a person who is outside the cultural circle can learn the language there, no matter how good it is. In fact, the translated works are not so down-to-earth.
It's not like this happening once or twice. Therefore, in order to serve players from all over the world more friendly. In many countries, Chiba Games has set up a subsidiary, or working group.
Of course, these working groups say that they are mainly engaged in translation. However, Chiba Games also has no hope of absorbing technicians.
After all, there aren't too many technical talents.
And these technical talents. When they come, they can't be idle. So, Chiba Games allows them to submit a game plan, and if it passes, it will give them a budget to make a game.
This is also part of the human resource development system, after all, due to the problems of the Japanese economy. and the problem of the loose generation.
The quality of talent in Japan is actually declining, and it seems imperative to absorb some outstanding foreign talents in order to preserve the technological strength of Chiba Games.
However, when traveling, it is not the time to mention this. Three people, this is just a heartless trip.
Look at the mountains and see the water, a person's voice, where you can go. It's very, very limited, actually. After all, everyone's experience and money are not unlimited. Even, there are many people who, in this life, will not be able to travel all over the city where they were born.
Of course, some of them are because the city is too big to walk.
"It's a beautiful view." Mayu by the river pinched the camera and took a photo with a "click".
Chiba Yuki said. "Of course it's good-looking, otherwise what would we do on a tour."
Lin Yan watched the two of them chatting with each other. I don't know what I'm thinking.
After a few hours, they arrived at their destination, got out of the car, and it was already night.
There is a time difference of one hour between China and Japan. I found a phone and called back to Japan to find out how the Chiba game was going for the day.
When Lin Yan listened to the phone, he heard good news. That is. The research and development of smartphones has been almost completely successful.
After meeting all the target requirements set by Lin Yan before, the next thing is very simple.
Just let the factory department design the process of mass production.
Lin Yan said a word and asked them to design the process of mass production. Then it is enough to start ramping up capacity.
For such a process, in fact, these people are already very familiar with the road. After all, Chiba Games has also produced so many machines.
Moreover, the sales volume of these machines is either tens of millions or hundreds of millions, so the experience they have is unimaginable for many manufacturers.
For example, a small price difference in a part can be a large cost in high-volume production.
And some companies that have just started production actually don't know these things. Only after producing so many things can these things begin to be understood little by little.
"I'm still lucky today, I received good news here. What about your side? Lin Yan asked the other two.
"It's not bad, now the use of the Chiba game is on the right track, as long as we don't have major problems, the Chiba game is even if it eats the old book, and it will be okay to eat for decades. You look at all the cash that we have in store, if it's not the one that we spend on research. Even if we set up a bank now, it is estimated that it will be one of the top 10 banks in Japan. ”
However, will Chiba Games set up a bank? The answer is basically no.
Actually, don't look at Chiba Yuki and say that Chiba games are very rich, but a large part of the money is concentrated overseas.
I didn't enter Japan because I had to pay a lot of taxes if I entered.
It is precisely because of this that Chiba Games has established R&D centers in various countries. On the surface, it is because of the talent problem, but in fact it is also an economic problem.
In fact, many multinational companies are in such a situation.
Although they have a lot of money, their money is not pooled. Rather, scattered all over the world.
If money is needed somewhere, it is basically a loan. Because, the interest that needs to be paid on the loan is really nothing compared to the operation of the money across borders.
You know, for these big companies, it's always the banks lining up to beg them for loans, not the other way around.
However, Chiba Games doesn't have a loan either. There is hardly a single loan. With the exception of certain areas, in cooperation with local authorities, had to borrow money.
Chiba Games, in fact, has largely given up on continuing to expand new businesses. After all, the stall is big enough now. It has been targeted by many departments in many countries. If the interests of more people are violated, then the Chiba game will be sanctioned, and it seems to be a matter of minutes.
Think about Japan's abundance and sweetness, Germany's Volkswagen, not all of them are the same thing. Once your business is too big, someone will want to sanction you.
There's no escaping that. You know, in the process of operating a large company, mistakes will definitely happen. These mistakes, in fact, seem trivial in ordinary times.
However, as long as people with intentions gather together and release them together, it is a big bomb. Therefore, many enterprises have to pay a lot of protection fees to various departments. The same goes for including Chiba games.
Otherwise, just by relying on so many children who play video games, they are doing the wrong thing. It's enough to make Chiba Games eat a pot.
The reason why the whole world is basically not averse to video games anymore. On the one hand, it is because the people who play video games have grown up and have the right to speak, and on the other hand, it is because Chiba Games has spent enough money for the relevant departments to shut up.
The relevant departments, in fact, are not so strict. It's just gluttony. Even, most of the time, most of the time, can't feed their appetite.
Although Chiba Games' products are not as popular in China as in Japan. However, in the process of riding the train, I still saw a few people playing Chiba games on the handheld.
With the development of China, in fact, the strategy of Chiba Games in China is also changing. For example, the game consoles that used to sell almost only backward ones are no longer the same.
Because, many people can afford the latest gaming consoles. Of course, the general economic conditions for making green trains are not particularly ideal.
Therefore, the game consoles they play are generally relatively backward and cheap.
However, even these backward machines can give them enough fun.
After all, in recent years, although the handheld performance of Chiba games has improved greatly, the gameplay of the game has actually not changed revolutionarily.
The most time-killing game is still role-playing games. After all, in this type of game, a single maze can take the player through for hours.
Of course, in fact, the difficulty of these games is decreasing.
You must know that the difficulty of the game was high in the past, on the one hand, because the carrier capacity was too small, and if you want to make the game process long and durable, it will inevitably increase the difficulty.
On the other hand, it is because there are few temptations, and there are not so many other forms of entertainment. Only this can be played.
However, in recent years, things have changed a lot.
Players who have many games to choose from are likely to give up when faced with a difficult game. (To be continued.) )
