Chapter Seventy-Nine: Retirement
It seems that many people think that politics is far away from their lives, but one day they suddenly find that it is so close to them, and it turns out that everything is because of politics.
It's like "Reversal of the Referee", and the main character Wright's good friend is called Yabari Massa-Chi. Yabari is the same as Ran in Japanese, and the name Yabari Masao-Zhi seems to imply that it is indeed politics.
Just like Lin Yan never thought that his behavior would involve politics, but it was restricted. Chiba Games is now at a more dangerous juncture. Because, if you are not careful, you may be subject to sanctions.
As a result, Chiba Games is also shrinking its own business and no longer expanding outward. I am ready to make enough fun games and try to give back to the players who have always supported Chiba Games.
Players actually have a different kind of feelings for Chiba games. On the one hand, Chiba Games has not forgotten its original intention, and it has not looked down on a small player because it is bigger and stronger.
It's not like Icestorm, saying "Dear player, I'm your dad." ”
is not like Lao Ren in another world, "Get out, I don't have your son." ”
Treat players sincerely, as long as there is a dispute between the player and Chiba Games, it must be the fault of Chiba Games.
Although, this may cause the staff of Chiba Games to feel very aggrieved. It's clear that the customer has a problem, so why blame us. However, if you think about it, this is really the most beneficial for the long-term development of Chiba Games.
Of course, because of the vast number of front-line sales staff of Chiba Games. Generally are the kind of mercenaries, in fact, their qualities. It's hard to manage.
Even if there is a very complete assessment system, it will not work. Therefore, Chiba Games has a department dedicated to patrolling. Among them, there are several inspection teams, which can visit any Chiba game business outlet at any time, either in a light or dark way.
This is actually the secret service agency inside the Chiba game, and those mercenaries can be said to hate and fear these agencies.
Hate because these organs are really annoying, if you really make a mistake, you can find out, but sometimes it is really forced to pick a bone in the egg. With a word in the regulations. It's a very severe punishment.
Of course, the department that enforces the punishment is not the secret service. Rather, it is the internal affairs department, and if necessary, the financial sector will step in. For example, things like auditing.
Although the punishment is not too high, it is rare to miss the net. Basically a mistake was made. You will definitely be caught.
Therefore, those who want to engage in some cattiness, taken by the authority of Chiba Games, do not dare to act rashly.
Of course, their private complaints are quite large. There is a kind of "I work for you, and you are still wary of me" mentality.
So, Chiba Games sometimes have to compensate them too. For example, after a large-scale inspection, no problems were found. They will be given bonuses, or collective vacations.
In a word. It's a big stick in one hand, a red date in the other, as long as you don't make mistakes and don't touch the bottom line of Chiba Games, Chiba Games will actually treat you well.
The days pass slowly, and the next generation of Chiba games has been developed. In fact, for this generation of handhelds, within Chiba games, a considerable part of them feel that they are not so reliable.
Because, this generation of handheld machines separates the handle from the machine. In other words, remove the controller, and the physical buttons of the entire game console are left, and there are only five left.
Moreover, compared to the improvement of the game function part, the improvement in music and other aspects seems to be greater.
The whole machine, when not put on the handle, looks like a music player and a video player.
And the networking technology used in this device is wireless networking technology. In addition, the early version will also be given as a giveaway with a wireless router produced by Tiguang.
In the later stage, after no longer giving away, there will also be a coupon to buy a wireless router of Tiguang.
You know, in the year 2002, there weren't too many electronic devices that supported wireless routers. Although, the standard for wireless networks has long been issued. Chiba Games and Ti Guang are also members of the Wireless Network Standards Committee.
In fact, there is also a wireless communication technology, which is also a hot spot. That is a wireless network propagated by light. For example, if you are in a house, as long as the light can shine, you can receive Wi-Fi.
However, because sometimes blocking the light, the propagation efficiency will be greatly reduced, so this technology will eventually be eliminated.
Chiba Games' vigorous promotion of wireless network standards has naturally been recognized by other companies in the standards committee. You know, only a standard that many people use is an influential standard, and it means a huge amount of wealth.
If a standard data and indicator is good, but it is useless. Then this technology is still not worth a penny.
Most Japanese companies like and are accustomed to setting their own standards, because launching their own standards means a huge amount of wealth.
However, Japanese manufacturers have always failed. Because, they are not good at sharing this standard. I just want to make all the money myself.
Don't let anyone else earn a penny, and if other people's standards are more friendly, then the standards of Japanese manufacturers are very likely to fail.
And what Chiba Games has done is better than other Japanese manufacturers is that it is good at sharing. Make the cake bigger first, then divide the cake. It's better than making a cake the size of a thumb and eating it yourself.
For the new game console, Lin Yan made a game that looks simple, but it is actually to highlight the new features of the game console. It's a game that can be played on a screen without a stylus. That's "Cutting Fruit".
Keep in mind that this game is very simple and not very difficult. Even, the gameplay has no depth at all. It's just cutting fruit.
However, such a simple game illustrates a fact. It's just that this game can only be played on the handheld of Chiba Games. And you can't play it on someone else's handheld.
Such a game that is unique to me, Natural Tiger attracts many players to play.
Of course, Chiba Games is also in full swing to make the smartphone they have been preparing for a long time. Capacitive screen technology is also used. As well as mobile phones with optimized operating systems, they will basically beat the mobile phones represented by Nuojiya and slightly hard office phones on the market.
You must know that although the slightly hard mobile phone is also a touch screen, the interface of their machine is so inhumane.
To put it simply, on their machine, there is a closed fork. I often use the stylus to click a lot. to be able to click on him to close the program.
And the so-called productivity mobile phone, there is also a bit of a joke, first of all, the transmission of data. It's too complicated, and the other one is that although there are micro hardware on the phone, there are office suites that are proud of it. However, due to the limitations of the phone's hardware. As a matter of fact. The experience was terrible.
Large tables are difficult to open, not to mention, even those documents, opening the right can sometimes make the phone crash.
Of course, Micro Hard is very experienced with the blue screen of death of the operating system. You know, they used to be at the launch of a new generation of operating systems, live broadcast during the process, as a demonstration of the computer. The blue screen of death in public.
As a docent on stage, he is also very fast. Say this is what we are demonstrating when the computer is blue screen of death. That's how I reluctantly got through it.
In addition to "Cutting Fruits", another escort work prepared by Lin Yan is "You Draw and I Guess". If Fruit Cutting is showcasing the touchscreen capabilities of a new generation of handhelds, then Draw Me Guess encourages players to play online.
At the same time, Chiba Games has cooperated with KFC, McDonald's and other fast food restaurants, and provided free Wi-Fi service in their stores.
In addition to this, there is Chiba Gaming's chat software built into the machine. It can be said that this new handheld is encouraging players to play online.
Of course, Draw Me Guess is a game that will be updated. Because, if the thesaurus is set in stone. Then, it won't take long for players to play, and they will actually get bored.
In order to extend the life of the game, the thesaurus needs to be updated so that players can keep it fresh.
Chiba Games, on the other hand, relies on its many years of experience in making games. Knowing the leveling system is an excellent system that gives players a sense of accomplishment.
So, they added a very good upgrade system to "You Draw I Guess". In this way, the life of the entire game can be extended to a certain extent.
However, you know, any game, any type of game, will eventually get bored by the players. And games like "You Draw Me Guess" and "Cut Fruit" seem to be even more so.
Because, they are a game where creativity is king, creativity is freshness, and if an idea is no longer fresh, then this game will not be abandoned by players.
Such examples abound in the history of gaming. For example, in another world, "Angry Sparrow", which made a Finnish game company soar, and "Fruit Ninja", aren't they all games like this? At first, it could be described as crazy, but once the player got bored, his market value like a flying pig would fall rapidly.
The game industry is always changing, and there are few game manufacturers that can always be popular with players.
One game manufacturer after another, with the end of an era, has become the dust of history and entered the grave. There are really not too many manufacturers that can be evergreen for ten years like Chiba Games.
With the development of the times, the level of electronic computers has been continuously improved. The power of personal computers has gradually become stronger, so the PC video game market in the United States has recovered to a certain extent.
Recently, however, the largest PC game publisher in the United States, a game publisher larger than Electronic Arts, went bankrupt.
The bankruptcy of Xuele Mountain symbolizes the end of an era.
And those excellent game studios under Xuele Mountain have also been disbanded one by one. The personnel gradually diverted. Chiba Games also took the opportunity to absorb some members.
Of course, Chiba Games didn't go too far. Because that would cause public outrage.
However, these new Americans also let Lin Yan know. In fact, the level of video game technology in the United States is not much worse than that of Japan.
In other words, Chiba Games pays so much attention to the development of new technologies, and it has not opened up the technical gap with the American game industry.
This can only sigh that the technological reserves of the United States are so deep, after all, almost all the best talents in the world are gathered in that country and built that country.
In this way, Lin Yan will certainly not give up the investment in technology research and development. Although, there are many techniques that will not be used.
However, it still needs to be developed, because it may be used one day. It's too late to look for it when it's time to use it.
An enterprise is the same as a person, it must have a sense of crisis, and if there is no sense of crisis, an enterprise is not very far from extinction.
Therefore, Chiba Games always maintains a sense of crisis. However, due to the fact that Chiba Games has been established for a long time. The first batch of employees has begun to enter the threshold of 40 years old. Energy and efficiency have begun to slowly decrease.
For the sake of the company's efficiency, Chiba Games is now encouraging these employees to retire and start their own businesses. In other words, all the benefits of retirement are available, and the content of your business is also related to the business of Chiba Games.
Sort of, Chiba games still have the meaning of you. However, even if this is the case, relatively few people have been mobilized. Until, the first person to retreat, after retreating and making a lot of money, can be regarded as starting to slowly retreat.
Chiba Games did this, in fact, it was a very helpless move. It's all about keeping the company alive. This is also the reason why Chiba Games is extremely cautious when recruiting new employees every year.
Because, as time goes by, there will inevitably be more and more retired employees, and there will be more and more people who need to be supported by Chiba Games.
In order to avoid big troubles in the future, therefore, Chiba Games is consciously controlling the number of employees.
However, even if this is the case, there will inevitably be problems.
Because the best age for employees to work is actually from their twenties to their forties. This is the time when it is easier for them to work wholeheartedly.
After that, maybe because of physical reasons, or because of family reasons. The degree of dedication to work is declining, so that, in fact, to a large extent, the efficiency of the company will not be so high.
Chiba Games let them retire and enjoy the treatment so early, in fact, to a large extent, it is to prevent them from bringing other employees to the ground.
After all, slacking off is contagious. It's hard to get an employee to work hard, but it's easy to fish. (To be continued.) )
