Jester benefited greatly from this brainstorming-like discussion.

What he saw was a group of designers with their own independent thoughts, not their own submissive followers, which was what he was most afraid of before.

Thankfully, his employees didn't disappoint him.

His previous "Snowman Brothers" was a still-screen game, and although it was released around the 90s, it did not have any breakthrough in terms of technical content compared to the current one.

But his current setting of "Dawn" is a long-scrolling aerial combat shooter, and the scrolling game is the highest-end genre of games in this era, similar to those RPGs with super-large sandbox maps in later generations.

And even Atari didn't produce many games of this genre back then, let alone the designers who worked on this type of game.

The vast majority of people in Mars Entertainment who have worked on the reel-scrolling game are in Mark Saini's design team, tackling what they themselves call a great game that has never been done before.

I don't know if they dare to say such big things after watching the setting set of their "Dawn".

Jester actually thought with a little malice.

In fact, Jester also strongly agrees with this, because the technology of reeling games is universal, and now the situation of Mars Entertainment is that instead of dispersing the elite and starting several reeling games at the same time, it is better to concentrate the elite to make the first one first, and in this process, the first technical accumulation of the same type of game can be completed.

Don't underestimate the accumulation of technology when developing games, this is a very valuable asset, for example, Jester knows that the technology library platform established by EA, and any new technology that their global studios will put into this platform when developing games, and when other studios need to use this technology or engine when making games, they can use it directly, without the need to develop it themselves, avoiding duplication and waste.

Another example is the news that Jester just saw before his rebirth, Blizzard just announced the cancellation of the "Titan" project that had invested more than 50 million dollars, saying that the game did not live up to expectations, but many critics said that although Blizzard invested at least 50 million dollars in this project, Blizzard did not gain nothing, and they obtained some new technology in the development process, which was enough to make up for part of this loss.

And the idea of EA's global technology library is indeed very much to Jester's appetite.

Throwing the incomplete set that had been sprayed in many places to the group of designers who had been hungry for a long time, and asking them to work together to continue to improve it, Jester returned to his office, he had just received the news that someone had sent him a fax from his grandfather's address, but the sender was not.

The sender surprised Jester a little, and the other party first apologized and did not inquire before sending the fax, but directly asked Jester's grandfather to help, but they were also worried that if they asked directly, Jester would refuse.

Although the other party learned about Jester's attitude towards them from Jester's grandfather, they still had their own considerations, so they sent a letter to Jester so that he could dispel his biggest concerns.

Although it is presumptuous, it can be regarded as showing his sincerity.

Jester just glanced at it when he got it, and he understood what the other party meant.

The fax was sent by the Consulate General of the Mainland in Los Angeles, and the content was only a very simple transcript of the content of the meeting.

This is a resolution made at the second session of the Sixth National People's Congress held on 15 May this year, which discussed and established the issue that Jester was most concerned about before, and whether or not sole proprietorship is allowed to invest in the mainland.

There were a lot of issues discussed throughout the meeting, and perhaps the Consulate General was afraid that Jester would be annoyed by it, so he drew a line with a red pen at the bottom of one of the paragraphs to indicate that there is something you want to know about.

Then, Jester saw what he wanted to see the most.

The mainland allows foreign capital to build factories independently.

"In these port cities, foreign investment in setting up factories can enjoy more preferential treatment in terms of taxation in accordance with regulations, relax the examination and approval authority for the use of foreign-funded construction projects and the introduction of technology, simplify the entry and exit procedures for foreign businessmen, allow foreign businessmen to set up wholly-owned enterprises, appropriately extend the joint venture period, and allow partial sales in the domestic market for products that do provide advanced technology......"

At the bottom of the text, the inscription is the second session of the Sixth National People's Congress.

"That's a signal." Jester pondered that this was a signal that the mainland took the initiative to release to itself after understanding its investment intentions, a signal of goodwill, they didn't say anything, just sent a meeting manuscript, and they could dispel their previous doubts.

Maybe they also consulted their grandfather about the size of their investment, otherwise they wouldn't be so aggressive.

After all, one's own investment plan may not be much in the future country with deep pockets, but at this time when foreign capital reserves are pitifully small, it is indeed precious and must be won.

In particular, the political attitude he expressed at the last Chinese gathering has obviously been recognized by some people in China.

It's better to cheapen these patriotic Chinese than to cheapen those who support the treasure island.

Anyway, it's all about cutting meat, and it's always a little less painful to give the former kind of people.

In the face of the goodwill of the mainland, Jester naturally couldn't remain indifferent, and he immediately dialed his grandfather's phone.

"The old man went back to San Francisco, and he won't be back in Los Angeles until around the start of the Olympics." The phone was answered, and Jester's uncle said.

"I don't have anything else to do, I just want my grandfather to arrange it for me, I want to talk to ......" Jester didn't wait to speak, when he heard his uncle's haha on the other side of the phone.

"The old man really guessed correctly, said that after you received the fax, you would definitely be tempted to call and want to contact the people over there, but the old man has already prepared, and his investment group has also gathered a lot of people, and there will be a party next month, just in San Francisco, and a commercial counselor over there will also participate, explaining to the Chinese who go to explain the current investment environment and benefits in the mainland, but the specific time has not yet been decided, anyway, it will not be possible to run in the early part of next month, and I will give you news when the time is set."

After getting the exact news, Jester chatted with his uncle a few more words, asked his grandfather how his health was in the past few days, and hung up the phone.

This also made him temporarily put down a matter of his mind.

In the afternoon, Jester didn't have much to do, and just as he continued to play Raiden with a sadistic mentality, he received a call from Carly Terry to discuss the release of a third-party game.

Jester didn't care about this, he took out the game distribution rights of Mars Entertainment to establish a publishing company, which was his ambition to create a first-party and third-party publishing company.

Jester knows how profitable third-party publishers will be in the future, and it is foolish in Jester's eyes to have a distribution channel but not to do third-party game publishing.

Even in Jester's vision, future Sega and Sony games could be distributed through Guò's own popular publishing company - as long as they agreed.

He didn't know if it would work, no one in the previous world had done it, either a third-party publisher, like EA, Activision, Ubisoft, or a first-party publisher, like Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo.

If he didn't take out the distribution rights from Mars Entertainment, then he would set up a third-party distribution company while also setting up a first-party distribution network in Mars Entertainment, which would be too strict for a waste of resources.

That's why Jester made a move to pat his head and take out the distribution rights of Mars Entertainment alone.

Game companies specialize in making games, and publishing companies specialize in publishing.

"Of course we're going to do third-party game publishing." Jester said to Carly, but there weren't any third-party games to do other than PC games right now.

Carly on the other end of the phone smiled after hearing this, she said to Jester: "Recently, the company received a game from a small company, I hope we can help distribute it, it is a PC game, Adam he has seen it, and said that the game is good, but he said that we generally can't get it, generally such small companies are all around the delivery of games, not only to our newly established publishing company, but also to some large, like Xuele Mountain, Virgin, our company has just been established, the distribution network has not been formed, It's not as good as Activision and EA, which are also very young, and even if we really want to release it, as long as there are other companies to choose from, they won't choose us. ”

Jester didn't care when he heard it, the PC game in this era has only 10,000 copies of sales, in his eyes, it's all small money, it's not the time for PC games to develop on a large scale, if you can get it, it's his training team, it doesn't matter if you can't get it, the most important thing for his publishing company now is to prepare for the trial in Chicago in half a month, which can't be missed.

So he just called Carly and said indifferently, "It's okay, it's just a PC game." As he spoke, Jester only asked a little curiously, "What kind of game?" ”

"The game is called Ace Fighter, a company called Microprose, and they have made a game called First Voyage before, and the quality is very average, but Adam said that the makers have a lot of ideas." Carly rummaged through the table, apparently looking for information about the game, before explaining it to Jester.

Jester's body shook visibly when he heard Carly say Microprose, because the company was so famous in later generations.

Not only is the creator of this company, as Adam Edgar said, very thoughtful, the founder of this company, who is also the maker of this game, and its place in the history of video games in the world is like a monument.

He is considered to be a titan in the game industry, and he is also a mythical figure in the video game industry, known as the godfather of video games, when video games were only considered children's toys and playthings, his works even entered the university classroom, and even the professor let his students play this game to feel the progress of human civilization.

This game is Civilization, and all of you who knows even the slightest bit about video games knows who the founder of this small company called Microprose is.

That's right, he's Sid Meier.

"What's the name of the maker?" After calming down, Jester asked the question he was most concerned about right now in order to make sure that something was going on.
