Chapter Eighty-Three: Return to Japan
Embark on the journey home.
I returned to Japan in a daze.
Lin Yan also didn't know if he had gained anything from this trip. Do you really understand the current state of the video game industry in the United States, or do you just know a little bit about it?
In his own opinion, it should be the latter. He had a lot of news, all from Moder. However, Lin Yan is not very clear about Moder's source. Before he left the United States, after handing over the money to Moder, he commissioned him to develop a game for the Red and White Machine.
Moder agreed, but he said with some embarrassment. Dmitry there, it doesn't seem so easy to say. He said he only likes to develop games on Atari consoles.
Lin Yan also wasted a lot of tongues for this, first of all, the development environment of the red and white machine is relatively friendly, at least a little better than Atari. Secondly, this machine has already sold more than a million in Japan, so there is no need to worry about the games developed on this platform not selling.
Moder was skeptical, and as an American, he didn't know much about the Far East. In his opinion, Japan is a small place, and in such a small place, how can a model of machine sell millions of units?
Lin Yan looked at Moder at that time with a look of "I don't read much, don't lie to me", and he also looked a little helpless. He said that when he went back, he would send him a copy of all the information about the red and white machine, and when he saw that information, he wondered if he was lying.
Moder didn't care so much in his heart, in his opinion, the $100,000 he got was a real green banknote. Case. It's better to wait and see for a while and take a look at Lin Yan. What kind of drama is singing?
For people like Moder who write precautions on their faces, Lin Yan is also helpless. But. People have real skills, and they should also show some real kung fu on their side.
Back in Japan, Lin Yan first returned home. Seeing the row of file bags that Daddy pointed to him, he knew he had work to do.
Before he leaves, please do a preliminary review of the games that apply for them. If he passes the first review, when he comes back, he is doing the second review.
Originally, he thought that such words. Even if he leaves, it won't be too much work to come back. However, it seems that there are a lot of games that have passed the preliminary trial of Xiaochubundun these days, and I have something to do again.
I got home and put down my luggage, and then rushed to the headquarters of Chiba Games without stopping. Almost everyone in the headquarters didn't know Lin Yan, but it didn't matter, he had an access card, and he swiped the card all the way to Chiba Yuki's office unimpeded.
It's been a long way. Hayashi looked at the internal workings of the Chiba game in an orderly manner. I don't know if this was handled by Yuki Chiba himself, or if it was handled by the people sent by the Chiba Group.
If Chiba Yuki did it herself, it really shows that she is a very good manager. At least, Lin Yan believed that he would manage so many people. It's not going to be so orderly.
There is a good saying, "You can't play cards, I can't fight." ”
Lin Yan is very interested in how to manage people. Not really. Let him make his own game, though. It's still a good hand. Even if he claims to be the best game producer of this era. It is estimated that no one will have any objections.
Chiba Yuki is really in the office, and he is handling affairs in a decent manner. Although Lin Yan has never been this kind of leader, I don't know why the leader has unfinished official duties. However, he looked at the tall document in front of Chiba Yuki and felt that this must all make sense.
I don't know how to study, I don't understand, I ask.
Lin Yan didn't feel that he had anything to wipe his face, he was not a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties, he was still a child. If a child has something he doesn't understand, what if he asks.
After about ten minutes, Chiba Yuki's side finished dealing with it. She raised her head and looked at Lin Yan and asked, "Did you gain anything from going to the United States this time?" ”
Lin Yan replied, "There is still a harvest. At the very least, the video game market in the U.S. hasn't completely disappeared as I thought. Judging from the current situation, it seems that it was only the bubble that Atari had spawned that burst. That's why I have a lot of confidence in the U.S. video game market. Because, after the bubble bursts, everyone can develop games rationally and treat the market rationally. It's not as blind as before. ”
Anyway, Lin Yan is also a person who has experienced several big bubbles. The financial bubble, the real estate bubble, the Internet bubble, until he survived the mobile game bubble. After every bubble bursts, it looks like a lot of sorrow in a short period of time.
In the long run, though. Such a bubble is not without benefits, at least it regulates the development of the industry as a whole. Let the original barbarism and disorder become orderly.
Chiba Yuki nodded noncommittally, and then she said, "The game company you invested in, do you really think it's worth a hundred thousand dollars?" ”
Lin Yan said that he wanted to treat this company as a catfish. Yuki Chiba nodded. In fact, the appearance of Chiba Yuki, a little adult, is quite interesting in Lin Yan's opinion. In addition, he is not a subordinate of Chiba Yuxi, so when he looks at Chiba Yuki's gaze, he also looks quite unscrupulous.
If, the little fat dun saw Lin Yan use this kind of look to collect a large number of the beloved Chiba senior sister in his heart. He's going to feel unhappy.
Actually, Lin Yan is very similar to teaching Little Fat Dun a truth. For the sake of the woman you love, you don't even dare to go to jail, you still dare to love her.
However, Lin Yan thought about it carefully, and the logical chain in it seemed to be a little too evil. Xiao Chubby Dun is not a good young man who comes out of the mud without staining, at least he is also an upright young man. It is immoral to pollute such a good young man with a filthy culture in the future.
Lin Yan carefully told what he had seen and heard in the United States these days, and then asked Chiba Yuki, the sales situation of red and white machines in Japan in recent days.
Yuki Chiba pulled out a sales report from the folder. Lin Yan looked at the rather smooth curve on this report, and he was relieved.
The red and white machine did not die violently after becoming popular, it is not a meteor-like thing. Although the sales curve is quite smooth now, it is a bit uneventful.
However, in Lin Yan's eyes, there was no sense of panic. To be able to have such a steady sales volume. It shows that the red and white machine is still attractive enough for consumers.
As for why sales are so smooth, probably because the influence of red and white machines is gradually expanding. It is moving from the vast city to the countryside. (To be continued......)
