Jester received a call from the company, which forced him to rush back early.

However, his affairs in Los Angeles are basically over, and after he explains the situation to his grandfather, his grandfather is also very reasonable to ask Jester to rush back to deal with the company's affairs.

Jester also assured his grandfather that no matter how many people will participate in the delegation he wants to set up to invest in the mainland, as long as it happens, he will definitely go.

If he can't make the trip, then he will also accompany his grandfather back to the mainland to have a look.

This also made his grandfather very pleased, and directly said that he didn't expect his rebel son to raise a good son.

As for the fact that he was going to Zhang Le'an's house tomorrow as a guest, he had to give up, and Jester had to hang up the phone to explain the situation.

The white wolf is open-minded by nature, naturally not a small-bellied person, and when he heard Jester say that the people of Hell had found his company and wanted to discuss the transplantation of "American Cubes" on the home machine, he also instigated Jester to slaughter the Japanese again.

Jester just smiled and didn't explain, he had no intention of working with Ren Hell on American Cubes.

Just kidding, Tetris in Jester's original world not only sold well in arcades and handhelds, but also sold more than five million copies on FC, ranking in the top 10 in the entire FC game sales list.

How could he give such a hen that can lay golden eggs to his biggest opponent in the future?

This is an absolute weapon for his early distribution!

He wanted to go back to see Ren Hell people, just to find out their reality, he knew that Ren Hell only started to sell their FC European and American versions of NES in the United States in October 1985 in the original history, but he was not sure about this era.

After all, the "American Cubes" launched by himself has already made the arcade market hot again at a certain point, and the next few games he will launch will inevitably pour a big barrel of hot oil on it.

The video game market is inherently interconnected, and it is inevitable that a large number of players will be rekindled with interest in home video games.

Will Hell change his mind and release the NES ahead of schedule?

Jester wasn't sure.

As fast as he could, he drove back to the company, and he didn't even ask about the completion of the task he had assigned before leaving, and went straight to Mark Saini's office.

Inside, Mark Saini is drawing the blueprint for his new game, The Avengers, and the ground is littered with scrapped sketches like a garbage dump.

Jester had already informed Mark Seni before he came, and after Jester came in, Mark Saini didn't talk nonsense, and directly pulled out a paper clip from the sketches piled up on the table and threw it into Jester's hand.

"It's the information of the people who came from hell this time, they are very sincere and determined to get it, and I've called a few times before, but I asked them to talk about "American Cubes" after you come back."

"Hmm!"

Jester agreed, then quickly flipped through the folder and took a closer look.

Inside the text is a character profile, very detailed, Jester doesn't know how Mark Seni got it, but when he thinks about his relationship with Sega in Japan, it becomes clear.

Sega is also an enemy of Hell now.

The person on the profile he knew, or rather, he was very familiar with.

Minoru Arakawa, the president of Hell America, and the son-in-law of Yamauchi Pu, the head of Hell Ren, married Yoko Yamauchi, Yamauchi's eldest daughter, while attending school.

As a veteran game enthusiast, Sogou, a conscientious player who has always regarded Ren Hell as a cancer in the industry, Jester naturally knows this crucial figure during the rise of Ren Hell very well.

He was born in 1946, the year after the Emperor's surrender edict, to the Arakawa family, a wealthy Japanese samurai family, whose mother was also the eldest daughter of the Yuo family, who also had a great deal of wealth in post-war Japan, and it is estimated that in 46 years, the two families controlled one-fifth of Kyoto.

Minoru Arakawa grew up in such an environment where he was in charge of the traditional textile industry, but he chose civil engineering as his path of further study, and studied engineering at Kyoto Graduate School and then at the world's best Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1980, Minoru Arakawa, who was already working for Marubeni, one of Japan's five largest trading companies, was inspired by his father-in-law, Yamauchi, and finally quit the company and established the United States in New York, where he became its president.

This was the beginning of the legend.

At that time, Minoru Arakawa could basically be said to have gone to the United States alone, and Yamauchi Pu also gave Minoru Arakawa great trust, and the upper limit of the funds that could be mobilized at that time was 10 million US dollars, which was an extremely large amount for Ren Hell at that time, and if it failed, Ren Hell would almost never recover.

Of course, Minoru Arakawa did not live up to his father-in-law's trust in him.

Although Arakawa was an executive of a game company that never played games, in the United States in 1980, there was not even a dedicated arcade hall, and arcades could only be regarded as an annex to entertainment venues such as bars, and Americans could only play games like Little Bee, which were too naïve to play, so there was no need for someone who knew a lot about games to manage.

Arakawa doesn't play games, but he's a true genius businessman, and he knows that arcade games are just as much a product as any other commodity.

As a business wizard, he had high hopes, and at that time, Ren Hell had failed several times before "Donkey Kong", and this attempt in the United States can be said to be a big gamble for Ren Hell to break the boat.

If you succeed, you will go to heaven, and if you fail, you will go to hell.

At that time, Ren Hell's trading method was to pay with one hand and deliver with the other, but this sales method was very inappropriate for an arcade machine like "Donkey Kong", which was still unknown and expensive.

Because those who are willing to buy these arcade machines are those bars and malls, and whether or not they have these arcade machines does not have much impact on them, so Donkey Kong, which is twice as expensive as other arcades, will naturally not be favored.

Therefore, the bold Arakawa Minoru made a decision behind Yamauchi's back, that is, to use it first and buy it later, which seems to be extremely correct now.

It's the same way Jester did when he first promoted American Cubes.

The shock of "Donkey Kong" to Americans who thought it was the most fun game in the world at the time when they played a little bee was overwhelming, which made Americans feel for the first time, video games can still be played like this?

In just a very short time, the first batch of 2,000 "Donkey Kong" arcade motherboards were sold out, and then Minoru Arakawa saw that the market was so hot, so he boldly asked the Japanese headquarters for 6,000 "Donkey Kong" substrates, and then before the goods arrived, these 6,000 substrates were also purchased in advance by enthusiastic Americans with genuine American knives.

In just over a year, "Donkey Kong" sold more than 60,000 units in the United States, earning more than $100 million in profits for Ren Hell in the whole year.

Since then, Minoru Arakawa has become famous and established himself as the absolute core of Ren Hell.

Jester clearly knows how keen Minoru Arakawa's vision is, and the Tetris of the year was made by Minoru Arakawa after seeing it, and he decided to take it at any cost, and in the end he spent nearly 10 million dollars for the copyright of Tetris.

But he also lived up to expectations, just relying on Tetris, he made unimaginable profits for Ren Hell, GB was able to succeed in the early days, and Tetris was the greatest.

In the previous life, before Tetris became popular, Minoru Arakawa could see the charm of this game, and of course the world can see it.

"Let the rulers of the American branch of Hell come in person? Hell is enough to look up to us? ”

Closing the materials in his hand, Jester smiled and said to Mark Seni, who was still frowning and sketching.

Perhaps not very satisfied with the one he had just finished, Mark Saini sighed, clutched the paper on the table, and tossed it aside.

He looked up at Jester, shrugged his shoulders, and said with the same smile: "It's not that we can afford it, it's that we can afford to look up to American Cubes, the charm of this game, it's impossible for anyone in hell not to see it." ”

"They didn't say how they were going to talk to us?" Pulling a chair casually, Jester sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked casually.

Mark Saini frowned and thought for a while, and said: "I didn't talk to them carefully, but I see what they mean, they want to buy our copyright directly, and even if they can't buy it, they plan to at least get the authorization of "American Cubes" on home machines." ”

"Buy the rights to American Cubes? They don't even think about it! Jester snorted disdainfully after hearing Mark Saini's words.

Then Mark Seni glanced at Jester carefully, his face became stern, and he said seriously: "My personal opinion, even if it is the authorization of the home machine, we can't give them the authorization, our home machine research and development progress is very fast, and it will definitely be completed before the end of the year. ”

"That's what I thought too." Jester nodded, touched his chin and thought for a while before he spoke, "I mainly want to get a little bit out of Minoru Arakawa's mouth, when exactly are they going to release their FC in the United States." ”

"Do you think Nintendo will enter the United States? They can't see how the market for home consoles in the United States is depressed right now. Mark Seni listened to Jester's words and was a little puzzled, he wanted to make a home game console because of a dream and responsibility, and Nintendo's Yamauchi president was a shrewd businessman, and he would not do anything that was obviously a loss.

In other words, Ren Hell is also optimistic about the future of video games?

"FC's sales in Japan are too hot, and they are out of stock, which may have given them enough confidence, after all, Ren Hell's game is really doing well, and the market in the United States is ten times that of Japan, he doesn't want to try it, he must be unwilling." Jester explained carefully, and then he asked, "Didn't Arakawa say when he arrived?" ”

"He said he was going to be there by noon today, and he had booked a hotel, a Japanese restaurant on Riberg Street, and he said if you could get there before noon, be sure to come by." Mark Seni nodded.

"Then we'll go at noon." A cold glint flashed in Jester's eyes, and he made a decision.

Then Jester discussed with Mark Seni about the tasks he had assigned before he went to Los Angeles, and Mark Seni immediately showed excitement on his face when he heard this, and looked at Jester with a hint of respect in his eyes.

"The alpha versions of the three games you designed are all done, and all the staff are fascinated by the games, and they all unanimously rate these three games as no inferior to American Cubes! Of course, everyone has different favorites, for example, I like "Zuma" the most, and Will Wright likes "Bejeweled" a little more...... But predictably, if it is released, we will be a big success! Maxseni said excitedly, and danced a little uncontrollably, obviously he was very excited at this time.

"That's good, take out some people to finish the rest of the finishing work, and after the BETA version is completed, we will put five units per production in the trial area on the first floor, let players try it out, see what they think, if it's good, we'll improve it, and strive to finalize the full version before the middle of next month."

Jester made his decision after a little thought, and then he turned to look at Mark Seni again, and showed a smile, which made Mark Seni look a little creepy, "Mark, I'm going to make a new game, not a small game like American Cubes, but a big production like your Avengers, but with a still picture, I want to borrow someone from your production group to help me." ”

Hearing this, Mark Saini's face changed instantly, and he hesitated for a moment before he said with difficulty: "Okay, I can draw one for you, but I have to make up another one from the rest." ”

"No problem." Jester smiled happily, "Needless to say one, it's okay to smoke two, I'll ask for your Will Wright, I think ......"

Unexpectedly, before Jester's words were finished, Mark Saini's face instantly turned extremely blue, and he grabbed a stack of drawing paper on the table and smashed it, while he yelled: "Get out!" ”

Jester then fled from Mark Saini's room, shouting as he returned, "What a stingy man! I don't want to borrow anyone, I want to find a better one! ”

Although they have only been together for three or four days, Mark Saini has already felt the amazing talent of the other party about how to design a good game from Will Wright, and the feeling is like seeing flying fireflies in the dark night and seeing beetles in the field.

And Jester opened his mouth to want to borrow Will Wright, which was absolutely not allowed in Mark Saini's heart, and in his heart, Will Wright was irreplaceable in his design team.

"This damn Jester! I always like to take advantage of others. ”

Mark Saini, who was still annoyed, thought so.
