Chapter 25: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Dinner was eaten by Jester with his grandfather, Sandy Weir, and his uncle.
Very hearty authentic Sichuan flavor.
Jester ate the familiar taste, and couldn't help but think of that country thousands of miles away.
Uncle Jester's craftsmanship is better than blue, and Sandy Weir is also full of praise, and directly said, better than what your father did back then.
To Jester's surprise, Sandy Weir was not eating improved Chinese food, but authentic Sichuan cuisine, and even Jester discovered that the Yankee's ability to eat spicy food was still above him......
As a Chinese, Jester instantly felt a little self-conscious.
Originally, Jester's uncle arranged a room for him in his home, but Jester still refused, saying that he had booked a hotel before coming.
However, when Jester was chatting with his grandfather, it seemed that his grandfather took the initiative to organize this West Coast Chinese gathering not all for the Los Angeles Olympics.
His grandfather felt that his health had been much worse recently, and now that the country was engaged in reform and opening up, overseas Chinese were welcome to return to China to invest, so he had the idea of wanting to return to his roots.
Especially in Jester's memory, when his grandfather heard the tape of "My Chinese Heart", he was in tears and his true feelings were revealed.
Although his grandfather didn't say anything to him, Jester guessed that maybe his grandfather wanted to return to China.
After all, it was the home he had left for decades, and no matter how good the United States was, it was not a home for his grandfather.
This is also a very normal thing, Jester's grandfather left the motherland at the beginning of 45, and it has been a full forty years now, and the Chinese people have a plot of loving the land, not to mention Jester's grandfather, who once sacrificed his life and forgot to die for the sake of the country's salvation.
It's just that Jester knows that his grandfather has four gunshot wounds on his body, two vital wounds, and almost survived.
Their affection for their homeland is something that many people in modern times cannot comprehend.
Just like Qu Yuan wrote at the end of "Lamentation", the bird flies back to its hometown, and the fox will die on the hill.
If the beast is like this, how can man be worthy?
"It was a magnificent era!"
Jester also thought of the motherland of this era, the reform and opening up has begun for several years, and the tide of China's rejuvenation has begun, but no one can foresee how turbulent this wave will be, like a tsunami half unstoppable, if he does not participate in the greatest rise of a great power in this century, it would be a pity.
Moreover, I really need to go to the motherland to solve one of my current major problems.
Insufficient capacity.
The cost of setting up a factory in the United States is too high, and the labor alone is several times higher than in Japan, so this is not in Jester's consideration.
Moreover, now is the period of the transformation of the United States from a manufacturing country to a financial country, and everyone is screaming at the digital stimulation of the financial industry, and it must be thankless to do low-profit manufacturing at this time.
Moreover, Jester felt sick when he thought of the ugly faces of the American trade unions after the collapse of the Motor City in the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis.
Of course, the United States is a liberal and democratic country, and everyone has their right to choose freely.
Including their right to freely defend their stupidity.
Jester thought maliciously.
However, the current situation in China, does it have the ability to produce 8-bit opportunities?
Jester doesn't know, he doesn't know much about the current situation in China, even in the previous life, he didn't specifically check the information in this area, if his grandfather returns to China this time, he will definitely go back to investigate.
The production line is easy to get, even if there is no one in China, there should be a lot of idle second-hand production lines here in the United States, which can be used with a slight change, and even if it is brand new, it will not cost much money.
The most important thing is the industrial workers.
In addition to recruiting a large number of self-training, at this time, if you want to get industrial workers in the electronics field, you can only dig into the corners of those state-owned enterprises.
As for the state-owned enterprises' detention of the relationship, Jester is not too worried.
Now is not the period of 30 years later, the state-owned enterprises as their own sons, and now the foreign capital invested in the country is provided by the government as the ancestors, what three exemptions and five halves, all kinds of foreign capitalists can surprise the foreign capitalists as if it is a paradise welfare, as long as you are willing to come, we are willing to give, not to mention just want to grab workers from those state-owned enterprises? As long as the high salary is opened, which worker does not rush to it? As soon as the executive order is pressed, which state-owned enterprise dares not to release people?
For the current local rulers, if they can earn foreign exchange, they will not care about the life and death of those state-owned enterprises, and can you earn foreign exchange regardless of your life or death? No? If you can't, just roll.
What about your own production? That's your own problem, I helped you solve it, what else do you want you to do as a factory director?
It can be said that whoever dares not to release people is hindering the country's modernization construction, hindering the country's investment promotion, deviating from the clear instructions of the Party Central Committee, hindering Lao Tzu's promotion to make a fortune and making political achievements, and whoever dares to prevent Lao Tzu from making political achievements is a traitor and a traitor.
However, what Jester wants to find out most when he returns to China is not these, but whether he can build a wholly foreign-owned factory in China now, which is what he is most concerned about.
He remembers that when it was first reopened, only joint ventures were allowed, but in the mid-80s, the central government issued a document that officially and explicitly allowed wholly foreign-owned factories for the first time, but Jester can't remember exactly when it was opened.
I have the impression that it is either eighty-four or eighty-five.
It was the establishment of this document that began the entry of a large number of foreign capital, which was very little before, because no one wanted to give up half of their profits for no reason.
The same goes for Jester.
It's not that he's too greedy, Jester doesn't hesitate to give up the benefits he has to give, because he knows that temporary efforts will inevitably be rewarded later.
His enterprise produces domestically, employs domestic workers, and sells its products overseas to earn foreign exchange, which is what the government wants to see, and if it can do it itself, the government is very satisfied.
But joint ventures with domestic enterprises are different, as a foreign capital, he has enough to enjoy super-national treatment, and joint ventures with state-owned enterprises will not make this treatment so much better, and after the joint venture, not only have to share their own profits, but also be constrained by domestic enterprises, so why should he give up his shares and joint ventures with domestic enterprises?
Shake M?
As for the benefits given by those countries, three exemptions and five halves, five links and seven flats, no profits and no taxes, and super-national treatment BLABLABLABLA, hehe, if you have the ability, you will not be given these benefits if you don't have a joint venture.
What are the foreign investors begging you to give?
Who is it that you blame?
The capitalists are like this, taking amazing profits from you, and at the same time scolding you for being a SB.
In particular, those foreign capitalists who came to China were pleasantly surprised to find that in a socialist country under the dictatorship of the working class, trade unions were just decorations. They don't need to think about the interests of the workers at all! It is simply a paradise for capitalists, with a soil that is naturally suitable for the expansion of capital!
Of course, while in the happy YY, the same scolding, SB.
And there is another item, in the nineties, inspired by the feast of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the gluttonous feast that shared the greatest achievements of Taizu and the prime minister, the huge fruits of the 30 years of industrial construction of the founding of the People's Republic of China, is about to begin, and he still plans to enter the delicious meal, how can he leave a loophole and make himself a delicacy in the eyes of others?
As for working with the powerful? That was after the southern tour in the 90s, the big rightist leaders won a complete victory, and now these young generation of elites in China are just some greedy but courageless rats, and they are not qualified to let themselves cooperate with them.
Besides, even if they give them shares now, how dare they?
These people still haven't figured it out, times have changed.
It was too early to suppress these thoughts in his mind for the time being, Jester drove to the hotel he had booked, asked for his room at the front desk, took the key, and walked in the direction of the elevator.
However, his speed was obviously a little slower, and by the time he reached the elevator door, the elevator was already full, and the elevator door was already half closed.
Jester could only sigh and stop in front of the elevator, waiting for the next trip.
"Huh!"
However, as Jester walked towards the elevator, he happened to see a sixteen-carat book on the ground, which appeared to be a magazine, and the back was facing up, falling to the ground.
Maybe someone accidentally dropped it.
Thinking so, Jester bent down and picked up the magazine, a comic magazine called Illusion, produced by a comic book company called Mirage-Studio.
When he saw an image on the cover, Jester's eyes suddenly lit up.
Then turn to this page according to the page number, the title of the manga is Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles, translated into Chinese, it is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
Jester naturally knows how popular the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be in the future, this is one of the two most successful cartoons in the United States in the eighties, the other is Transformers, but now the first four episodes of the Transformers anime have been completed, and Hasbro has also launched their first transformation toys.
This is not the key, the key is that Jester remembers very well that the beat up game on FC based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles zuò once caused a sales frenzy after its release, and eventually ranked among the top 10 in the entire history of FC games.
And even if you don't count the game, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles can generate a lot of money, whether it's comics, anime, figure toys, or movie rights.
This is a manga that can count money and count until your hands cramp!
Missed the Transformers, Jester didn't want to miss the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and he hadn't decided yet, the first one he wanted to do, the action clearing game on his home console, and now he also made a decision, so he chose the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
It's a really great subject, and Jester can't wait to get the idea.
Jester flipped through the black and white version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in the comic magazine.,The story has just begun.,It seems that the title is only the fifth volume.,And the publication date is also this month.,It seems that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have just started to be serialized.,It's not popular yet.。
But Jester doesn't care much, even if the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles manga is popular, he won't be able to pay much if he wants to buy this comic company.
Jester vaguely remembered that Fantasy Studios was a new company that was formed in September of the year before they created the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and that the two owners of the company were the two Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and he didn't remember the rest very well, after all, he was neither an encyclopedia nor a die-hard fan of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
But then again, how much is a new comic company worth?
It's all drizzle for Jester right now.
But now he didn't have time to inquire about the comic company, so he could only put the matter down for the time being and deal with it when he returned to the company.
And at this time, the elevator doors also opened.
Jester followed the flow of people around him into the elevator, chose his own floor, the elevator started, and he also took advantage of this time to start thinking about how to design "Frost Brothers".
He was pressed for time and couldn't wait to get back to the company to start designing, so he had to make some free time to perfect the game.
In fact, the original Snowman Brothers was designed very successfully.
There is a growth setting in it.,The snowman can increase his ability by taking potions.,Some can speed up movement.,Some can increase the size and power of the snowball.,There's also a way to increase the range of the snowball thrown.,This setting is very similar to the bullet-eating in Contra.,But the original version is far inferior to Contra.,Jester remembers that there are only about these three.。
Jester intends to strengthen this, at least five of them.
Needless to say, the combat system of "Frost Brothers" is a novelty even in the 90s.
The player-controlled snowman can seal the monster with a snowball thrown by guò, and then push the sealed monster into a large snowball, knocking the rest of the monsters into the air, and the killed monster will drop potion points or bread cakes and the like.
There is also a reward mode, every ten levels will have a chance to shake the money bag, each time you can shake a letter, if you get together SNOW, then you can be rewarded with a life.
It's also a setting that attracts players to play, which is very good in this day and age.
Most crucially, the game has a very arcade-friendly setting, which came to be known as the Yeti playthrough mode.
If the player can't clear the level within a minute, then there will be a very awesome monster, Jester called him Pumpkin Man when he played as a child, and he died if he touched it.
This setting increases the difficulty and also increases the playability.
Incomparably good for arcade machines.
Jester thought about it, the game was already so good at the time of design that he couldn't think of anything else he could add to the game.
With a ding, the floor he had chosen arrived.
Jester stepped out of the elevator and walked briskly to his room.
He wants to play the Yeti brothers as much as he can, see what else he didn't think about just now, and then finish writing the design text of this game as much as he can.
