Chapter 47: Do it selectively

There are many times when people's opinions about game manufacturers are not so fair. It's often biased.

For example, when many people talk about a certain popular game, they always like to pull out the Chiba game and walk around twice. said that a certain game, the reason why it is popular, the reason why it is not popular under Chiba Games is because Chiba Games is indifferent to this game.

In fact, Chiba Games' attention to new games is definitely more than that of the vast majority of players.

Not to mention the Mario team in charge of game review, it is some games that have little to do with Chiba games at all, in fact, Chiba games also have first-hand information.

The reason why I don't make a certain type of game, although to a certain extent, is really negligent. However, more often than not, it is the game that does not fit the style of Chiba games and cannot be done.

What is the style of Chiba games? The style of Chiba's game, a thousand words will be summed up in one sentence, that is, all ages.

For example, a game like Grand Theft Auto would not be done by Chiba Games. Even though, there are many people who like this game.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, if the theme of a reality-enhanced game like Pokémon Advance is changed to Grand Theft Auto, the theme is not to catch pokemon, but to rob and rob. It's really hard to predict what the world will become.

Chiba games, there is absolutely no shortage of money right now. If there was a shortage of money, Chiba Games would have been on the market a long time ago. Even if it is not listed, it will not use a wholly-owned subsidiary, which is not an "economical" way to control the group's subordinate enterprises.

You must know that a normal group company, the parent company, basically only needs to control 40% of the shares, and basically can make decisions about the operation of the entire company.

Some people will say that it is not right, and it is clear that more than 50% of the shares are required. In theory, this is true, but in reality, there are enough small shareholders who do not actually have the ability to express their opinions. Therefore, in fact, as long as the controlling 40% is controlled, most companies can have decision-making power.

The group company is using such a lever and using as little capital as possible to raise a behemoth that is large enough.

Of course, this means that the company itself is vulnerable. If anyone wants to, they use various methods to acquire shares and obtain the right to operate this company.

Actually, this kind of thing happens quite often. As a result, it is not impossible for a company to change hands several times in a short period of time.

Chiba games don't use financial tools like that, it's not that they don't know, but they don't have to.

These little knowledge, in fact, have been shown a lot in the simulation series of Chiba games.

For example, in SimCity, in fact, sometimes, the cost of building a building is not very high, but the high cost is the cost of post-maintenance. This is the case with roads, for example. The more cars you drive, the more maintenance you need.

As a result, there are some SimCity players who blindly expand, and in the late game, they will find that they enter cheats as fast as they can drop money.

As a result, the end of their last city is basically bankruptcy.

Of course, it's just a game, and even if you go bankrupt, it's not a big deal. In the real world, the bankruptcy of a city can affect the lives of thousands of people.

For example, Detroit, the big city of cars. Its bankruptcy has brought many people's lives to the bottom. If it is a little bigger, the impact of bankruptcy in a country is even greater.

Even, it can make the expected age of residents drop by dozens of years at once. After all, there is no way to build an effective health care system without money.

And something like a health care system is, in fact, a luxury for many people.

Seeing a doctor is difficult, expensive, and happening anywhere in the world.

Of course, it happens in most places, and it can't be taken for granted. Sometimes, for real-life medical care, it reminds people of a line in "Theme Hospital", "Don't let patients die in the hallway." ”

Sometimes, the reality is so absurd, but many people are helpless.

Although Chiba Games said that it did not directly invest in funds, it operated some charitable organizations. However, the development and growth of Chiba games has made a great contribution to the medical industry.

After all, video games are themselves an extreme pursuit of electronic programs and hardware.

Many of the technologies used in video games, with a little modification, can be applied to medical treatment, and they are effective, and they can bring good news to rough patients.

Therefore, a division of Chiba Games has a deep cooperation with medical units. I don't expect to make much money on this, but I just expect most people to be able to enjoy the best possible medical conditions.

Lin Yan has not had any serious illness because he often exercises and is not too old. Occasionally, I have a fever and a cold, and I can't use any medicine, but I will be fine in a few days.

In the past few days, he has not sat properly in the office, but has been running around outside.

To be precise, it's running around the world of Pokémon Advance.

"Pokémon: Advance" can actually be regarded as a world that is very similar to the real world from a certain point of view, but it is another world in a parallel world.

Sometimes, Lin Yan would also wonder if the legendary Heaven and Earth, Heaven and Hell were all true. It's just that they're video games, or the world that humans live in right now, it's a big video game.

And some people, claiming that they have seen gods and ghosts, are due to errors in the program of video games. Reality and fantasy coincide.

It's actually a bit chilling to think about it this way.

In this way, many things can be explained. Why are gods like people, ghosts like people. The reason is simple, because everyone is actually made of the same mold.

You may be some kind of creature, made for some purpose.

Even, it's possible that these creatures make sense of these worlds simply because they're bored and want to find a game to play.

Of course, Lin Yan studied Pokémon: Advance not because he wanted to study metaphysics.

It's because he wants to explore the possibilities that he envisions in the ultimate game.

After all, the world constructed by Pokémon Advance can be said to be a digital world that is to some extent independent of the real world.

If you collect these virtual data, can you make such a reality augmented game into a virtual reality game?

Of course, there is a big problem in order to complete this transformation, which is how to design a new way of interacting. Make technology like virtual reality more convenient for people to use.

In fact, these are the reasons why Chiba Games and the medical sector cooperated. They have even looked at the possibility of intubation in the back of the head.

The so-called posterior intubation is actually the truncation of a person's nerve impulses and the falsification of feedback. In this way, it is possible to make people feel a "real" world.

However, for the time being, the feasibility of this technology is not very large. Because, electronic hardware can't meet this need. Perhaps, when quantum computer research takes shape, there is still a certain possibility.

However, in the near future, quantum computers still do not see much hope.

Although Chiba Games invests a lot of money in this area every year, it has little effect.

After all, scientific research is a lot of luck. In the face of the vast unknown, everyone tried all kinds of possibilities, but they may not succeed.

Sometimes, scientific research really requires a lot of luck.

For example, a drug may have 10 million ways to work together.

Some people may experiment for the first time and come across something that works.

And some people may have tried 9,999,990 times without success.

The gap between the two may be as far as a few light years.

This is also why the research and development of new technologies is always slow, while others catch up with the projects that have been developed, but it is relatively fast.

Because, developing new technology is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack, and catching up with the technology that has been developed is more like finding a black ball out of ten white balls.

As a result, many latecomer countries are able to catch up with advanced countries. Not to mention completely comparable or even surpassed. However, it is possible to at least reduce the gap to a certain distance.

As a result, many countries are not so eager to disclose their latest technology. As for patents, they don't apply for them.

Therefore, in many cases, the military technology of many countries is actually closer to the civilian technology.

On the one hand, there is no patent application, and others can use it if they have the ability. On the other hand, even if someone else uses it, it is impossible to rush into someone else's barracks, search for this technology, and then say that it is not right for you to use our technology.

Therefore, in military technology, the word plagiarism rarely appears.

After all, whoever is advanced will use whom and learn from whom, this is already common knowledge in the entire military community.

Lin Yan once learned about computers in the former Soviet Union, and the former Soviet Union once studied computers using transistors. In fact, to some extent, a triode computer is better than a diode computer.

Whether it is in hardware or in software, it is more convenient than diodes. Why is that? Because, in addition to representing zero and one accidents, the triode also has a special expression of negative one.

You know, a diode computer, if you want to express negative numbers, needs to go through a rather complex conversion. The transistor computer, on the other hand, has this function.

Of course, triode computers did not become mainstream. On the one hand, it was because the Soviet Union did not attach importance to the transistor computer at that time, and secondly, the diode computer at that time had already developed relatively well, and it was not much beneficial to start studying diodes from scratch.

The reason why Lin Yan studied the transistor is because he has been using this for a while, and he has been making games that use this.

This game is a creative game. It's also a teaching game.

In fact, it is to let a player, start from scratch, start from the most basic concepts of a computer, and finally make a computer in the game program himself.

Of course, this computer is only logical and feasible. It doesn't make much sense on a practical level.

After all, not just one person has the ability to make sophisticated electronic devices.

However, it is a great help for learning programming and hardware. After all, interest is the best teacher. If a game that has been concealed can make people interested in the electronic world. That's a good thing.

For this game, Lin Yan only made a small sample and handed it over to outsourcing to do. Because, this game is not the main product of Chiba games, and it is destined not to make much profit.

In the end, the game still won several awards. Now, the Ministry of Culture of Japan has prepared a special award for educational games every year. Most of the time, the winners of this award are Chiba Games and Chiba Games' affiliates.

Chiba Games is not so much a company as an ecological chain, a chain of interests.

There are many people who are bound to this chain of interests. There are many people who seem to be fighting for the good of Chiba Games, but are actually fighting for his own interests.

Chiba games have influenced countless people, and there are countless people who are influencing Chiba games.

Chiba Games has never looked down on any player. Although, once in a while, a certain player will find something very uncomfortable for him.

However, in general, Chiba Games is already one of the few large game companies that maintains a very friendly attitude towards its users.

Even if it is a small workshop made by a few people, they have been away from the front-line users for too long, in fact, sometimes, they just forget why their company can become bigger and stronger.

Although a small number of such companies can survive, most of them have been eliminated.

After all, no consumer would like a company that ignores their needs and forcibly adapts them.

Of course, sometimes they don't have a choice.

So, sometimes, consumers are used to comparing the worse than the worse. Use the services of the not-so-bad companies of these rotten companies. As for companies that don't suck, there are few, and even if they do, it's hard to survive.

After all, not rotten means rising costs, and in the case of rising costs. There are a few companies that can survive well.

In the end, most of the companies that have inventory are not those that are relatively undisciplined.

After all, the meaning of the existence of most enterprises is to pursue the maximization of profits, and if, occasionally, there are some enterprises that do not pursue the maximization of interests, they will also be scolded by many people.

A new book has been released, and the name is "The Little Farmer of the Great Song Dynasty", which can be searched for.

originally wanted to be called "Red Rivers and Mountains", alas...... (To be continued.) )
