Chapter 21: The Boss's Secret

"Boss, that's not good." The third said a little panicked.

"What's so bad? You deserve it. What's wrong with not stealing and not robbing? The boss pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and said.

The third child looked at the three roommates around him and found that they all lowered their heads and didn't mean to express their opinions, so he also lowered his voice and lowered his head.

Just now the boss watched them play their own "Demon Village", so to speak.

Let them keep a few cassettes in the store, and they won't have to spend money to get the cassette in the store in the future. And the third child thinks that this is their entry work, so it is not good to conduct business in this way.

I haven't looked at the whole of Japan, or even the whole world, and no one has been able to skip the Chiba game and make their own red and white machine cassette.

Lin Dengwan recalled the terms of the "Future of Games" in his mind, and made sure that it did not say that "the work is not allowed to be used for commercial purposes without permission", and only then did he agree to the boss's proposal on behalf of the four people in the dormitory.

After all, they've cleared all the games here. However, that doesn't mean you won't go back to new games in the future.

The more new the game, the more expensive it is to rent, and they used to have to delay for months before they could play the latest game. Let's talk about it, the boss's words are still very attractive to these people.

The boss smiled and said, "Then you can keep four of them." ”

Lin Dengwan and the four of them left four cassettes and took back a dozen new cassettes that had been released in the last month, and then they also promised the boss. Make your own poster and stick it in the store.

Looking at the backs of the four young people, the boss picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

The tender green tea leaves in the teacup stand up at the roots. It looks like one energetic young man after another.

He thought for a moment and lifted the phone.

……

"Is there such a thing?" It's rare after school. Chiba Yuki came to the game club, and by the way, she put the game cassette of "Game Future" on the cassette hall where she borrowed the game.

Chiba Yuki said, "Of course there are, not many people know about it. The owner of that store was a veteran employee of the Chiba Group, and he had nothing to do after retiring, so he opened a cassette hall. Do you think this is okay, and if it doesn't, I'll tell him not to do it. ”

"What's not to do?" Lin Yan said indifferently. "Since. This is someone's own work, and he only participated in the 'Game Future' competition, and he didn't sign any other contracts with us. The cassettes we give them, they can do whatever they want.

Also, I think it's better to have a place to showcase the game than to introduce it in a magazine.

No matter how professional the person who writes the magazine, after all, the screenshot screen is still static. After all, video games are moving games, so they can be played. Maybe it will create a bunch of fans for this game.

I think it's a bit like giving a speech on the street when you're running for mayor or whatever.

Although, it can't make people understand all his connotations at once. But at least it's better than not knowing anything. ”

Chiba Yuki saw that Hayashi had no intention of objecting to such an act, and she felt a little strange. After all, this is a kind of "leak". Probably no one likes to leak secrets.

In fact, Lin Yan didn't care about this. If it weren't for the fact that the cost of the cassette was too high this year. If it is not suitable for mass production and gifts, he even wants to make "Game Pass". Or a store directly managed by the Chiba Group, which gives away the demo version directly.

Of course, if you really have a chance to implement such a trial system. Probably, only by turning the cassette into a CD, or directly turning it into data that can be downloaded on the Internet, can the cost be so low.

However, now the storage medium of discs for home game consoles is not reliable. One is that the density of data stored on optical discs is somewhat low, and the other is that the reading speed is also a little slow. The third is that Chiba Games or the Chiba Group itself does not have the ability to directly develop it.

Even Lin Yan himself can make a disc game console with only his own strength.

It's not that his abilities have deteriorated, it's that the game console has become more and more complex, and in the future, it is far from being able to design it properly by one person.

Even if he wanted to copy the mature design in his mind, there were no mature parts to use.

Compared to the fact that all the parts on the red and white machine are general, the later the parts of the game console, the more special they are customized.

This is because the sales of the game console itself are guaranteed, and even if it is a specially customized part, it can reduce the cost. Second, if this is the case, it can effectively prevent imitation.

Perhaps, many post-80s and post-90s people will remember that the game consoles that are popular on a large scale in China are only imitations of red and white machines led by Xiaobawang.

Why is there no longer a textile for the later super red and white machine, or any other machine? Not because there is no technology, but because you can't get the parts.

Without those specified components, even if you are thoroughly proficient in the circuit design of a game console, what is the use?

Lin Yan chatted with Chiba Yuki for a while.

This conversation made Chiba Yuki decide to let the Chiba store, a subsidiary of the Chiba Group, directly have the opportunity to try out the game of "Game Future".

However, not now, but when the ten games are selected, we will try out these ten games.

As for the few cassettes in the rental card hall, they should be regarded as pilots first. I want to see how ordinary players react to this kind of game with a grassroots flavor.

In Lin Yan's heart, he hoped to have a good reaction. Because, he really wants to make the "game future" a regular plan, so that he can mobilize the enthusiasm of enough people.

Not only play games, but also make games, so that the entire industry can have fresh blood.

Other companies don't know what he thinks, he doesn't know.

He already knew, though. The Video Game League has set its sights on the contributors who contribute to Chiba Games. They also saw the talent of these people and wanted to absorb them into their company.

Lin Yan didn't care too much about this. The first Future of Games didn't require this, so it can't be forced now.

Contributors are free to work wherever they want, and even if the contributor who wins the first place finally says that he doesn't want to work in the video game industry and only takes it as a hobby, Lin Yan will accept it.

After all, this is not a talent that he has worked so hard to cultivate. Rather, it is equivalent to the talent encountered by luck. (To be continued......)
