Chapter Fifty-Eight: Content is King

Lin Yan slept a little late today. His regular routine was disrupted, but it was not he who was most uncomfortable with the wicked. Rather, those who returned to his dreams.

However, it is different from the large-scale panic caused by Lin Yan's appearance in the world last time. After what happened last time, everyone calmed down a bit. At least, nothing illogical was done.

In the tube, they also figured out some patterns of dream operation. However, what they know is equivalent to Lin Yan, who is almost omniscient and fully aware in his dreams, is still a lot less.

But even Lin Yan doesn't know much. Because, he didn't know why he had such a dream.

Could this be humanity's longest dream? It's like a serial, after falling asleep every day, the break points are continued, so that the world in the dream runs more securely.

Those who have become accustomed to Lin Yan's dream. I don't play mahjong anymore, or play cards, and do things that don't have much technical content.

Some of them began to educate themselves and delve into the technology of video games on their own. Others are concentrating on arcade machines and want to take their skills to the next level.

In Lin Yan's dream, the child who stayed alone in a spaceship was still alone. He still behaved the way he had been. Play games, play games, play games non-stop.

Perhaps, it is because of the extra time to practice in this dream. The challengers who traveled to Taoyuan County from all over Taiwan fell into the sand.

Children are no longer only in Taoyuan County, dominating video game arcades. Even in the whole of Taiwan, he is recognized as the strongest.

Even, some people who don't know anything about video game arcades at all. Through children, I learned that there is such a thing. Because, the child has become a social culture, a trend, and this trend has swept Taiwan.

However, the fly in the ointment is. Ke Mingxiong and a few of them are now in Japan, not in Taiwan. So, they also missed the momentum of this wave of coverage.

This kind of unclear reporting. is the best advertisement. Not only does it not cost a penny, but it is even more useful than spending a lot of money on promotion.

There are countless children who want to repeat the miracle of children, but the vast majority of children cannot find a video game arcade machine for themselves to play.

There is nothing but blood. But there is no door to the game. There is no dragon slaying skill, but there are no dragons in this world. This feeling of depression has made too many children feel very heartbroken. Although, they don't know what heartache is yet.

However, this is not a good thing for Ke Mingxiong and them. But in some people, it has become a good thing.

Some people who work in the printing industry, as well as in the toy industry. I saw such an opportunity. Just like a real arcade machine, you can create colorful posters and small toys with joystick buttons.

That's it. Many, many kids who can't play video game arcades buy this kind of thing. Although children have no money, their purchasing power is never underestimated by any merchant. In this way, the witty little capitalist made a lot of money again.

Someone can even get the first pot of gold from here. It is possible to become a world-renowned billionaire. The world is full of opportunities all the time.

Opportunity needs the person who awaits him, and man also needs the opportunity to come. As long as there is a heart, this world will always be beautiful. It's so beautiful that it's gold everywhere.

Several people who were drunk had no dreams all night, and the next day it was almost noon before they woke up one after another. The first to get up was Ma Congyuan. He stared at a hangover head, feeling like he was looking at the world through a fisheye lens.

Then, he poked Ke Mingxiong up and asked him to look at the time.

"This ...... So late? "Ke Mingxiong who woke up. His head was also sore, and his head was two big, and it was hard to see what time it was, and then he said again, "It's so late, why is it so bright?" Broken watch? ”

The room where they lived. And the curtains were not drawn. The bright sunlight shines in through the window.

"It shouldn't be night, it's daytime." Ma Congyuan said facing the sun. Don't feel like you're talking nonsense at all. He knew what Ke Mingxiong was thinking just now. He was thinking it was ten o'clock last night.

However, how could it be ten o'clock in the evening. Ma Congyuan would think, "It's Lin Yan's father, who drank us all." ”

Ke Mingxiong's brain hurts a little, at this time, it is indeed not suitable to do such a difficult thing to think. Still, even though he didn't have a brain, he remembered the man.

That's right, it's Lin Yan's father. The middle-aged man whose repair technology is "terrifying", but who can drink unusually well.

Daddy Lin didn't work in vain, and when he met someone for the first time, he was able to leave such two powerful impressions. You must know that impressing others is actually a very important science.

"What should we do?" Ma Congyuan asked. He thought back to everything that happened yesterday and realized that he hadn't gotten any valuable information from Lin Yan, who claimed to be the founder of the video game arcade.

Although it is said that eating a meal is not unpleasant, you can't eat food and drink wine. There is not a shortage of talent in this world, but there is an extreme shortage of top talent.

How to define top talents, yes, it is a person like Lin Yan who makes people feel that their skills are impeccable and their vision is broad. Just like when Ma Congyuan was in college, his mentor always laughed at himself and said that he was a craftsman. It's okay to do such a job as teaching and educating people, but it's a hard job in scientific research. I have no ideas, no funds, and in the end, I just wait to help everywhere and become a second reporter.

One of the things that his mentor said most memorably was that the electronics industry needs geniuses.

Although Ma Congyuan said that his talent in electronic technology is much higher than ordinary people. However, he knew he was not a genius.

Although genius is not born to know, he can be invincible monster without learning anything. But it is also a little honed to reveal the vastness that belongs to genius alone.

Not to mention, the most well-known and powerful genius in modern times should belong to Albert Einstein. Although it is said that in Taiwanese textbooks, he is almost portrayed as an image of a demented child.

However, Ma Congyuan really knows that this kind of genius is genius. Jealous? Not jealous. Everyone has everyone's ability, and everyone has everyone's role. Just work hard and do what you have to do.

Otherwise. There are so many people from all walks of life, so many people from all over the world, there will be no shortage of geniuses. Seeing that others are better than you, you don't move?

That's not self-knowledge. but self-depravity. No matter how genius a genius is, there is no dedication from many ordinary people. What can genius do?

Just like the reason why Ma Congyuan thinks Lin Yan is a genius, in fact, it has nothing to do with his age. It's because of his mind that he is able to take so many things that don't seem to have much connection. Together. The result is a machine that is a lot of fun. There is no one before, this is genius. A genius who has pioneered a burgeoning industry.

Although he seems to be in the position of human history by no means as good as Albert, who gave the theoretical basis for the creation of the atomic bomb, he must be richer than him.

People who engage in pure theory always make money without people who engage in practical technology, laughs.

However, Lin Yan's genius also has limitations. If, there is no CPU in this world. There was no electronic display technology, and there was no front-end technology required for all kinds of video game arcades. No matter how whimsical he is, he can't point to the technology tree of video game consoles.

Ke Mingxiong nodded first, knowing that his side was indeed not doing well. Yesterday I worked hard all afternoon and got nothing.

What they need is not material, but ideological. Their idea of coming to Lin Yanna is actually very simple, they just want to learn something.

It doesn't matter what it is, but as long as he says it, it will definitely be useful.

The same is true for the purpose of their coming to Japan. Listen and watch more, and see more of what kind of technologies and ideas are eye-catching in this incubation base where video games were born.

"It's the second day. Our itinerary today is to visit the R&D department of the video game alliance. What time are you going? Midday? Let's wake them up. Ke Mingxiong said.

Thereupon. After waking up the rest of the people. After washing up and having a good meal, we headed for the video game league headquarters building.

At this moment, they still don't know what kind of changes have taken place in Taiwan's market. How much money they make less.

Lin Yan's life is still plain. Not as colorful as Ke Mingxiong. Leaning on the table with his arms on his back, he looked up at the clouds rolling out the window. It seems to sound very pleasant, but in fact, Lin Yan doesn't feel like this.

People, no matter at any time, will have a thing called trouble, which lingers around them. Different people have different troubles, different stages, and different troubles.

is like these classmates around Lin Yan, their troubles may be how to please girls, how to get good grades in exams, and how to have money to buy this and that.

Lin Yan was not at the same level as their troubles, and he was wondering how he could still engage in the production of video game arcades after breaking away from the video game alliance, that is, the persimmon family and Dongli.

Perhaps, some people seem to come out. You can do whatever you want, and you can go. However, don't forget why Lin Yan cooperated with Dongli at that time.

It is because Dongli has a central processing unit in his hands. And now the arcade machines of the video game league, the distribution is becoming more and more widespread. There is a new situation.

That is, even with the CPU, there is a great possibility that what he produces independently will be squeezed out by the video game alliance and the interest groups that have purchased their arcade machines.

This problem can actually be solved by reducing prices. Interest groups, in front of the group or interests, as long as the arcade is cheap enough, someone will definitely buy it.

However, in the price war, with a thin reminder like Lin Yan, how could he have beaten a huge video game alliance. Behind them are the support of the world's top 500 companies like Dongli, and the support of old game console manufacturers like Persimmon. There is hardly the slightest chance of victory.

Lin Yan thought about it, and felt that in the Japanese market, which was almost monolithic by the video game alliance and operated, it was not a wise choice to choose to fight with them head-on and compete for the market.

So choose an overseas market? No, it doesn't. Because I am not familiar with life, it is difficult to calculate it. Not to mention the fact that there are also various large companies in foreign countries.

If they look at Lin Yan's arcade again, it will not be the same ending.

It's annoying! It's annoying!

Lin Yan grabbed his hair and felt extremely irritable. After thinking about it, I couldn't find a reasonable solution. Is it true that the world does not allow you to start your own arcade company?

This world only allows large companies to survive, and has it killed the survival of all small companies?

No way! No way! Lin Yan grabbed his hair hysterically. He is not to blame for this, all he has is electronic technology and some ideas.

He is not a professional entrepreneur, nor has he tried to start a business. It's not the worst thing to be in such a situation.

The worst scenario is to be completely eaten and wiped clean by large enterprises, and Lin Yan will be kicked out directly, not to mention meat, and no soup will be brought to him.

There are actually not a few pioneers who have such an experience. This world, to put it bluntly, is still the law of the jungle, speaking with strength. After thinking about it, there is only one way. And that's to launch a game that's absolutely fun. Killed Lin Yan's self-made "Space Invaders", "Tank Battle", "Bomberman", and "Pac-Man" with one punch.

After all, the video game industry is different from other traditional industries. In fact, it has a lot in common with the cultural industry, that is, content is king.

There's only a good-looking shell, and there's not a single content that's exciting enough. No matter how good the packaging is, people will only be deceived for a while, and they will not be fooled forever.

When the bell rang for the end of class, Lin Yan also had his own idea to break the predicament.

What he wants to do is not to improve the level of hardware, but to improve the playability of the game. Make the game content fun and make up for other disadvantages.

Ke Mingxiong and Ma Congyuan and their entourage, after visiting the R&D department of the video game alliance, frowned. Because, they found a problem.

The strength of this department, compared to what they imagined, is not much worse. There are so many wonderful games, how can they be developed by such a department.

Although they were still in the company of the department's personnel, they did not express their thoughts, but they had already made up their minds with a conclusion.

The deputy head of the department, Katsujiu Yano, after sending off these Taiwanese people, thought with disdain in his heart that a group of hillbillies who had never seen the world before. (To be continued.) )
