Chapter 159: Transatlantic Calls

When you devote yourself to something, it is basically difficult to feel the passage of time.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.

In fact, American game workers are very hard to do with game workers in other places now and in the future, for game workers, overtime is the only and necessary thing to do, as far as Jester understands the history of game companies, no matter how big or small, in the development of every game, there is no need to overwork, because only such game companies can survive in this industry, such companies are numerous, whether it is American, Japanese, European, Or maybe it's on the mainland a few decades later.

And Mars Entertainment is no exception.

Of course, it's just the beginning of development, and it's impossible to be like the chief programmer of Blizzard who insisted on working overtime outside his wife's delivery room to complete the StarCraft engine when his wife gave birth, and left the classic 'It's not a damn game job, it's StarCraft!' 'Game quotes.

But working overtime until eight or nine o'clock in the evening is still commonplace.

And a few days ago in the conference room, there was a very Jester rhapsody, eclectic R&D planning seminar. Saini,Also suddenly interested in Jester's new RPG game genre that he called SRPG,You must know that he is a die-hard DND desktop gamer.,Usually in the lounge, he often runs a group with his subordinates.,He also discussed with his subordinates before whether he could make an RPG game.,But they discussed and discussed.,The game they want to make zuΓ² is just a copy of "Witchcraft" or "Genesis", plus because he was in a hurry, There were a lot of games that started at the same time, so in the end, I couldn't even show Jester to it.

Jester was later with Mark. It was only during a casual conversation that Saini learned that they had privately studied what it would be like to make an RPG game.

So, that's it, Mark. Saini also applied to join Jester's development team, which is also in Jester's mind, because in addition to making the game, he has a lot of things that he needs to be responsible for, and there are many things that the entire Jester Holding Group needs him to participate in every day, for example, he needs to follow up the whole process when he discharges the legal counsel and negotiation team to go to Hong Kong to conduct formal negotiations with Guo Taiming, so his free time is very short. Saini's involvement also reassures him a lot.

After all the developers understood, at least superficially, what kind of game Jester was going to do, these designers who had been addicted to DND role-playing RPG table games exploded with great enthusiasm for it, especially after Jester let them play the real SLG game "Nobunaga's Ambition", and made it clear that it was their task to add the style of SLG to the RPG, everyone was very interested in the innovation of this RPG game proposed by Jester.

As for the other characters' levels, health bars, quests, skills, and equipment systems, these innovative settings that Jester proposed inspired by the successful RPGs of later generations did not attract the attention of most people because of the previous innovations.

Just as Jester was staying up late in the office to review yesterday's R&D team's work report, the phone on his desk suddenly rang.

This made Jester a little puzzled, it was unlikely that someone would call his office directly at such a late hour, unless it was his family...... While thinking about Jester while picking up the phone, as soon as the phone was connected, the sound came to him a little surprised, it may be the reason why the transoceanic phone has some damage to the sound quality, the voice in the microphone is a little hoarse, as if he has just cried.

The call came from Claudia, who was far away in England.

Puzzled, Jester asked, "It's so late, what's the urgency?" ”

After Jester's words, the other side seemed to fall silent, and it took about a dozen seconds before Claudia's voice sounded again.

"I didn't ...... It's just that I want to tell you about some work things, I thought you were at home, and I called your father to tell me that you are in the company, so I called. ”

Jester was a little suspicious of this, Claudia was not a person who didn't know how to advance and retreat in his understanding, and whether it was EQ or IQ or ability, how could such a person call him late at night just to talk about some work matters, such as the time difference between Los Angeles and London, Jester didn't think the other party would not think of this.

Then, despite Jester's suspicions, he didn't say anything, and he did not pay attention to the European branch for a while, so he and Claudia talked to each other about work.

After just talking to each other for a few minutes, Claudia's tone that was a little abnormal before became normal, and from the phone, Jester could clearly feel the confidence of a strong woman in her face, instead of the poor girl who seemed to be like a frightened sparrow before.

This change in tone also made Jester extremely curious.

"When will the Dreambox be released in Europe? Recently, people from the company have told me that there are some Dreamboxes and game cartridges flowing from various channels in many parts of Europe, and the prices are high, especially one called "Balotelli's Otherworldly Adventure", which is more like a crazy sell, and this game is already a full 30% higher than the price released in your United States. ”

Claudia's tone was a little teasing.

Hearing Claudia's question, Jester also knew that the other party was just joking with himself to complain, because before the official announcement of Dreambox, he called several company executives for a conference call, and the specific launch plan and region were determined at that meeting, and Europe was set as the last region to be launched, and Japan was the second region to be launched.

The first half of '85 will be released in North America, the second half of the summer will be officially released in Japan, and the earliest date in Europe is also set for Christmas, and if the production capacity is not up to standard, it may have to be postponed to late January.

Although this plan was opposed by Claudia when it was first launched, she had to agree after Jester explained to her one by one why she did this, but in order to compensate, the first launch area of the new electronic pet machine before the official launch of the Dreambox in Europe was placed in Europe, and the area of the expansion pack that will be launched soon in "World Storm" was also placed in Europe.

"Let's not talk about that, how did you test the expansion pack cards you just sent over? Is there anything that needs to be changed? ”

Now that he thinks of the expansion pack of "World Storm", Jester also remembers the recent article given to him by Clement, the first batch of the first batch of three expansion packs of experimental printing products has been shipped to Europe, and this first batch is shipped to Europe for the test of the fans of the two famous universities that have completely made "World Storm" popular in Europe.

Of course, the students of these two prestigious schools are also very interested in this, and have even formed some clubs to compete between the cards of "World Storm".

Jester originally planned to build a printing plant on the mainland to do this, but building a printing plant is not an overnight thing, it may be better to buy one directly, but after Jester asked people to inspect the mainland, they found that the equipment of the printing plant or paper factory in the mainland is very backward, and it can't meet their printing effect requirements for the "World Storm" cards, and if they want to achieve the printing effect they require, they have to transport Clement's equipment to the mainland. Employees have to go through a period of training before they can officially take up their posts.

Moreover, as for the current situation of state-owned enterprises, in some materials about this era that Jester had read, coupled with what he had seen and heard in the mainland, after ten years of catastrophe, he knew that the discipline of the workers of the current state-owned enterprises had become so bad, he remembered that a foreign reporter visited a certain state-owned factory, but he did not expect that the workers in the workshop would peel melon seeds without working in front of the visitors, and they would gather together to peel melon seeds.

To let such a state-owned enterprise employee be an employee of his factory, Jester is a million disagree.

In fact, the rightists have not yet completely gained the upper hand, and it is impossible for foreign capital to obtain the consent of the mainland side if they want to buy state-owned enterprises, not to mention that Jester only intends to buy factories, but not to fully accept workers, and this is a condition that the current mainland government absolutely cannot accept.

It's not a matter of money, it's very complicated, there are disputes between doctrines, interests, and routes, and Jester doesn't want to be inexplicably involved in such a trivial matter, plus Jester had too many things to do at that time, and he didn't have time to deal with this kind of trivial matter, so he could only temporarily dispel such an idea and handed over the printing of the "World Storm" card to Clement.

Hearing Jester's words, Claudia laughed too.

"They still put forward a lot of suggestions, but I don't know too much, I've asked the staff of the feedback department to make a report, and when the report is ready, I will send the report directly to the United States, and your card department is looking at the modifications." Claudia said with a smile, and after she finished speaking, she hesitated a little before she spoke a little hesitantly.

After a moment, Claudia's tone changed suddenly.

"Lee, have you had time to come to England recently?" This time, Claudia's tone was no longer as confident as before, but with a hint of hesitation and hesitation.

Hearing Claudia's words, Jester's brows furrowed sharply, he can now be sure that Claudia must have something happened in the UK, and this matter may be her private matter, but this private matter has been so big that Cheng DΓΉ, a strong woman, was so distracted that she called herself late at night to talk about work.

Barely hesitating, Jester nodded.

"No problem, I'll book my ticket right away, and I'll be there tomorrow."

After Jester said this, Claudia seemed to fall silent on the other end of the phone again, and it took nearly a minute before her voice rang again.

"Thank you." R1152
