In the past few days, in the capital Jester, I know what it means to be a doorman.

After knowing that Jester was one of the few big tyrants in the Chinese business group who came to invest in China this time, the China Merchants Bureau of these mainland provinces and cities would send people to visit them almost every day. Fortunately, Jester stayed at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, and the Central Security Bureau was responsible for the security work here, so as long as he didn't want to see him, there was nothing they could do.

However, since the tender document issued by the Ministry of Electronics Industry, not only the people of China Merchants Bureau, but also the state-owned manufacturers of various provinces and cities have also been like gluttonous cats that smell fishy, and they want to see Jester as much as possible.

The question is, is Jester that easy to see?

For his own leisure, he didn't even see anyone with Yang Hailong's relationship.

Besides, this bidding meeting is not Jester himself is responsible, he doesn't have these idle time to spend here, originally he planned to have a little tour of the capital, to see the capital monuments of this era, but there are too many people who come to him through various relationships, and the capital is also people's territory, as soon as he steps out of the Diaoyutai, someone immediately passes his whereabouts everywhere.

So he has almost not been out of the gate these days, and he has been living in Diaoyutai without stepping out, which is the right to appreciate this royal garden hundreds of years ago.

By the way, think about what game you will play next.

In fact, Jester who always does these small-scale elimination games,Jester who jerks off,Horizontal board clearance and the like is also a little boring.,After all, he's from the era of high-fidelity pictures in 2014.,The hardware level at that time was even unimaginable in this era.,The current conditions are not enough.,It's impossible to make too large a game.。

However, some games with special gameplay may be able to be made, all for the sake of accumulating skills in the future.

When he called back to the company last night, he asked about the progress of his father's sixteen-bit arcade substrate, and the research and development was quite smooth, although some performance indicators could not be compared with a few classic substrates in his memory, but after all, the research and development time was still short, and there were still many places that could be strengthened later.

This time, the R&D plan of the arcade R&D department is still very surprising to Jester, they use a modular R&D method this time, first make a low-performance sixteen-bit substrate, and gradually strengthen the performance of the module to improve the performance of the substrate on this basis, for some R&D teams who have just started R&D, but are not able to make a substrate with excellent performance at one time, this method is not a very good method.

The development of the initial model of the 16-bit substrate is nearing completion, and according to my father, the finished product will be produced in about two months.

Now that we have a 16-bit substrate, many functions that were previously impossible to accomplish can be added.

For example, sound cards and stereo sound.

Jester was reading the newspaper some time ago and accidentally saw a news about a start-up company in Singapore, a young engineer named Shen Bowang made the world's first special sound card.

The news was all useful to him, so he wrote it down.

This means that with a separate sound card, you can add stereo or even surround sound to your own 16-bit substrate.

In this era, the 16-bit CPU is still powerful enough to make his own substrate complete stereo or even surround sound sound such sound effects, based on this idea, Jester thinks, it is possible to make a music rhythm game, in his memory, the historical dance machine appeared in the 90s, when the arcade machine was based on the 16-bit baseboard.

If you can make a dance machine, then it is naturally not a problem to make rhythm games.

Moreover, it is much easier to process sound than to process images, and the biggest problem is that it requires a large number of storage hard disks to store enough music.

Today's hard drives aren't cheap.

Seagate's ST412 model is only 10 megabytes in size, but it costs as much as $1,000, while the 20 megabytes of high-end models cost more than two thousand dollars. And hard disks were an absolute luxury in this era, and the 286 computer that Comber had just released was the most advanced personal computer at the moment, with a staggering $4,000 price, and there was no hard disk, nor did Apple's Macintosh graphical interface computer.

Although the current music sound does not need to be as realistic as that of later generations, if you want to store more than 50 songs, you also need at least three 10M hard disks, and the cost of hard disks alone is as high as 3,000 US dollars.

So how much does the final finished arcade machine sell for?

Jester wants to do a rhythm game like Namco's "Taiko Tatsujin" this time, of course, it will definitely not be so lofty to do it now, but "Rhythm Heaven" can be done on the GBA back then, so it won't be a big problem to make a similar rhythm game by yourself now. Of course, it is definitely impossible to do as well as "Rhythm Heaven", after all, GBA uses a 32-bit CPU, and there is an insurmountable proxy check with a 16-bit CPU.

However, it's not 20 years from now, when the concept of rhythm games was all the rage, and no one has realized that just a simple musical rhythm can make a very fun game.

After all, this is an era of primitive-to-outrageous baseball games that can sell millions of copies on FC.

In this era, the era of staking in the game industry, a creative lead is often more important than quality.

However, although he said so, his understanding of hardware can only be said to be superficial, whether he can do it or not, Jester is not sure, this will not be known until he goes back after careful consultation, but in his mind, it should be eight or nine inseparable.

The problem of price is still easy to solve, and it is a big deal to set the price a little higher, according to the stupid process of the Americans, even if it is a piece of soaring, as long as it can be blown high, then there is no fear that they will try it. As long as they are willing to try it, then he has nothing to fear.

Jester has a lot of confidence in the appeal of rhythm games to Americans, after all, the horror sales of Activision's "Guitar Hero" have proven this countless times.

The question is, what about Leku?

You can't just buy the rights to the music from American music companies, right? Jester shook his head, this is definitely not possible, the cost is too great, but if he doesn't do this, how can he find at least dozens or even hundreds of songs of different difficulty in a short period of time to form a game music library at the beginning?

That's a problem.

While Jester was sitting in the garden of Building 16 of the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, he pondered this question when a waiter came to tell him that someone wanted to see him.

Originally, Jester thought that it was those officials at all levels who came to get the opportunity to go through the back door of the Merchants Association from him, and planned to say that they would not see it directly as usual, but then he thought that he had informed the waiter before, and he didn't even need to report anything like this.

So he inquired, and then he learned that this time it was two officials from the Ministry of Culture who came to visit him because of other things, not for the downstream manufacturers of his electronics factory.

After thinking for a while, Jester received the two officials from the Ministry of Culture in the living room of Building 16, to be exact, there was only one official, and the other was a professor of the alto.

After a few words, Jester understood what they meant.

It turned out that the poem he recited at the banquet to welcome the Olympic delegation in the United States was transmitted back to China with the delegation's return to China, and the alto professor felt that it was well written, and it was also very good as a lyric, so he had the idea of composing a song for this lyric.

If Jester didn't come to the mainland, he would have done it directly, and no one in China cared about it anyway, but Jester was a big capitalist who came to the mainland to invest, and the central government valued the Chinese businessman, so naturally he couldn't blatantly infringe on his copyright now.

That's why I made this visit.

Hearing this, Jester also understood, he personally didn't care about this matter, anyway, this lyric was copied by others, since someone was willing to compose music for this lyrics, he was naturally willing, as for the money, he didn't believe that the current alto teacher could come up with any money, so naturally he was exempted from carrying forward the style.

After receiving Jester's affirmative reply, the alto professor also hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

However, after meeting these two people from the mainland's literary and artistic circles, Jester thought of his previous question about the music library of a large number of pieces of different difficulty that is really needed to make a music rhythm game, so he asked unintentionally.

"Two gentlemen, I actually have a favor I want to ask you to help, that is, I want to buy a large number of high-level tunes in China, the difficulty of playing is simple, difficult, and you can be in between, I don't know if you can think of a way?" Jester said carefully, I am afraid that the other party did not understand what he meant, and found some tunes for himself that were not suitable for rhythm game transformation, so he continued to add after saying this.

"I wanted a piece that was fast and strong, and I didn't need it if the rhythm was too soothing."

After hearing Jester's words, the official from the Ministry of Culture glanced at the middle-aged man with black-rimmed glasses and a wisp of beard and smiled.

The official smiled and said: "Mr. Li, you are asking the right person, it is the Professor Hu in front of you, he doesn't have much else, but he has composed a lot of tunes, his only hobby is also writing tunes, since he didn't graduate, he has been composing music for 20 years, and he is still writing tunes after being a teacher for 20 years, but he has never published them, there are thousands of songs scattered and scattered, all kinds of types, all kinds of difficulties, you want these tunes, there is no need to trouble others, but this Professor Hu is enough to help you." ”

When Jester heard the official's words, he took a serious look at the professor surnamed Hu, who had not said a word since he came to this meeting room, except for thanking himself for letting him compose the lyrics just now.

To be honest, the other party's appearance is very ordinary, and he can't see anything amazing, wearing a somewhat old but cleanly washed tunic, and short hair, giving people a refreshing and dry feeling, but that's all.

Anyway, with Jester's eyes, he couldn't see that the middle-aged man in front of him, who was not good-looking, was still a cowman who had written thousands of tunes.

Seeing that Jester did not speak, the official of the Ministry of Culture thought that he was doubting the level of Professor Hu he said, so he hurriedly explained: "Mr. Li, this Professor Hu's composition level is very high, and the "Guzheng Playing and Singing" he wrote before was played in the south of the sea, for which the "Guangming Daily" also wrote a whole page of commentary for this song, even in the domestic composition circle, Professor Hu is also a well-deserved master. ”

This made Jester even more curious, he glanced at the Professor Hu in front of him again, he was not familiar with the music industry in his last life, and not many people knew about it, let alone seen photos, he could be sure, but from the appearance of the other party, he couldn't recognize the identity of this person.

So, he asked with some curiosity: "Then what is this Professor Hu called?" ”
