Chapter 62: At least thirty percent
"The budget of the R&D department must be strengthened!" In the office of Chiba Yuki Chiba Game, Hayashi Yan said to Chiba Yuki. "Video games are a technology-oriented industry, and if we continue to adopt the 'mature' technology on the market, sooner or later, we will be surpassed."
Chiba Yuki looked at Lin Yan's excited appearance and smiled, she said, "There are a lot of funds approved for the R&D department now." Why did you suddenly talk about raising R&D spending? ”
Lin Yan didn't know how to explain why he wanted to increase the funding of the R&D department. In fact, in the eyes of both the players of Chiba Games and the employees of Chiba Games, Chiba Games is not a company known for its technological strength.
The graphics always seem to be just average.,It's not too good-looking.,But,The smoothness of the game.,There's nothing to say about the refreshing feeling.。 Many employees of Chiba Games find it very interesting that Lin Yan said in the internal meeting, "The best technology is that people don't feel its existence." ”
Science and technology that does not make people feel that it exists is the best science and technology. Moisturizing things silently stays in people's lives, and when there is it, people don't feel anything. And when you don't have it, people feel very, very inconvenient.
The main purpose of Chiba Games' game production is pretty much this. Games are for people to play, not for games to play for people.
Although, there are also very popular games on the market, and it can be said that it is a hardcore game represented by the masochistic difficulty of the "Demon World Village", "Great Demon World Village", and "Super Demon World Village" series.
But such a game, albeit famous. The actual sales are not even as good as the Chiba Games themselves. A casual mini-game with Mario's name on it.
Many people have heard of "Demon Village" but they have only heard of it, and most people just watch it. Discouraged, most gamers play video games to keep themselves entertained.
Although a game as extremely difficult as "Demon Village" will bring huge pressure to players in the early stage, if you finally clear the level, this pressure will be released, and the resulting sense of refreshment and accomplishment will naturally be overwhelming. The more difficult the game is in the early game. The greater the sense of accomplishment after clearing this level, however, the question is how many people will be able to play to the end of "Demon Village". Not in the previous level, the abused died and lived, and gave up directly.
Today, it's 1987, and there is no developed Internet. Not to mention video sites like this two thousand years ago. Websites that have only been created with the increase of Internet bandwidth, or live streaming websites that have become popular in 2010 as the technology matures.
This era. If you want to see a master clear a game, in addition to looking at the strategy book of second-hand screenshots, it seems that there is only one way to watch the game in the flesh.
Chiba Games has also been working hard to get some masters to play the game lately. What to achieve in one life, the achievement of speedrunning. So that it will be broadcast on the TV station.
However, video games are popular in Japan though. But. It's still not a mainstream culture. It seems that everyone is playing, but everyone still looks down on video games.
Therefore, this customs clearance program can only enter the midnight time period for the time being. And what Chiba Games wants is to enter the prime time after dinner.
Today, Chiba Games has accumulated more than 500 games. There are already more than 20 super red and white machine games. It is not a problem to make a continuous show. Now, the main thing is to find a mass time and a TV station that is willing to broadcast.
Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the issues discussed by Lin Yan and Chiba Yuki now.
Lin Yan looked at Chiba Youxi and said, "It's a lot, but it's not a lot." What we need is to do a lot of technical accumulation, to explore more possibilities, there may be a lot of wrong attempts in between, but once we find the right way, we will enter before others enter.
Senpai, you also know the importance of getting ahead of the curve. At the beginning of the birth of Chiba Games, it was not that they did not choose the arcade machine, which was already a sea of blood, as a battlefield, but found another way to open up the home game console market, which had not been taken seriously at that time.
In the end, with this opportunity and many high-quality games, it became the leading giant in the video game industry. ”
Although Hayashi said that there would be a lot of silent costs, with him, he would not let Chiba Games go down the wrong path.
Although, for example, game cartridges, start game discs, as a storage medium, so that it is obvious whether it is good or bad, but for its own benefit, it is necessary to argue about the choice of route.
However, according to Lin Yan's ideas, at least, there will be no big strategic problems in 20 years.
Don't think it's easy to start a company. For employees, every day may be to go to work, punch in, and touch the fish, but for enterprises, every time the sun rises, it is a new challenge.
If life is too boring, you can choose to start a company. The company doesn't have to be too big, it only needs to have ten employees. Every day when you wake up, there are ten mouths that depend on you to eat. You'll know that life can be so exciting.
The reason why Lin Yan doesn't want to start a company by himself, even if he does open a company, it is also a leather bag company, and there is no one else except himself, is also because of this.
The pressure is too great, and he knows his position very well, that is, he is a gamer. Play games every day with peace of mind, without thinking about something extra, which involves too many experiences.
Even in Chiba Games, he is only responsible for game development and hardware development, which has already made him a mess.
It is true that all problems are human problems, but human problems are the most serious and serious problems, and there is no more complex problem in this world than human problems.
Even if it's quantum physics, multi-dimensional universes, etc., there is no human heart complex.
The human heart is like a cat in Schrödinger's box, if you don't open the box, you will never know whether the cat is dead or alive, and what state it is.
Schrödinger's box can be opened, but people's hearts can't be opened, people's hearts are separated from the belly, even if the belly is opened, I don't know what people are thinking in their hearts.
"So what kind of investment do you want to achieve?" There will be arguments between Chiba Yuki and Hayashihiko in the market, after all, the two people represent different things. Chiba Yuki represents sales, while Hayashi represents the manufacturing product itself.
"Well, the investment is at least 30 percent of the net profit." Lin Yan said. (To be continued.) )
