Chapter 040: Autumn Canton Fair

In the next three days, Yang Yun took Jiang Shaoyun and Liu Cixing to Xishan Niangziguan, met the family of the great science fiction writer, and met with the leaders of the Niangziguan Hydropower Station.

Because of family factors and social pressure, Yang Yun had to ask Duan Haisheng of Chiyang Electronics Factory, Zuihou received Liu Cixing's file from Chiyang Electronics Factory, and became his nominal employer.

There are many rules, and I have gone around in many circles, which is pure blind tossing, but it is not okay not to do this!

At the banquet, the middle-level cadres of Longteng, the main person in charge of Chiyang Electronics Factory, and Jiang Yang and a group of dealers gathered together to completely pour Liu Cixing, a simple man.

Just when Yang Yun was full of emotion, Jiang Yang pulled Duan Haisheng over with a wine glass, and asked mysteriously: "Mr. Yang, I want to ask you something." When will your new game be completed? ”

Yang Yun was surprised: "Test for another week, make small changes, and Zuihou's version can be finalized." How? What are you two up to? ”

Jiang Yang said with a smile: "If it can be finalized within a week, it would be great!" Mr. Yang, at this year's Autumn Canton Fair, let's participate in the exhibition, right? How about we sell Chiyang game cards and study cards to all shijie? ”

"Autumn Canton Fair?"

Yang Yun had no impression of this at all, he had never paid attention to these contents in his previous life.

Jiang Yang's eyebrows danced: "In previous years, the autumn Canton Fair was held at the end of October, but this year is a special anniversary of the 40th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the Fourth Plenary Session of the Central Committee that has just ended, didn't the new general secretary be elected? ”

"Isn't it? Lao Jiang, do you even know about this kind of state secret? If you tell more than 500 people, beware of being arrested by the authorities! Yang Yun was taken aback, this kind of thing can't be said nonsense, "Spreading rumors is a big crime!" Didn't a famous person say that? The rumors are cool for a while, and the whole family crematorium ......"

Jiang Yang couldn't cry or laugh: "Who spread rumors?" Which celebrity said that? The's lacking virtue! Anyway, the Canton Fair is indeed ahead of schedule, really a month in advance, Lao Duan has already received a notice, Mr. Yang, are you willing to go, give me a quasi-word! ”

In this Canton Fair, Yang Yun has no confidence at all: "But I don't know anything about the Canton Fair." Boss Jiang, why don't you give me an introduction? How big is the Canton Fair? How many manufacturers are exhibiting? How much can I trade each year? ”

Jiang Yang pushed Duan Haisheng: "Old Duan, come on." ”

Duan Haisheng introduced: "In 88, the spring turnover was 4.6 billion US dollars, the autumn turnover was 4.9 billion, and the annual turnover was 9.5 billion. 4 billion in the spring of '87, 4.5 billion in the autumn, and 8.5 billion for the whole year. In previous years, it was slightly less, but it is increasing every year, and the overall trend is xiangshang. And 4.8 billion in the spring of this year, if you put a big satellite in the autumn this time, hey, the Canton Fair is the first time to exceed 10 billion US dollars, and you can definitely get it with this gift to the motherland as a birthday gift! ”

"$10 billion? It must have been converted, right? Should domestic purchases and transactions also be in dollars? ”

"Of course, it's only 10 billion after conversion! Last year, the country's foreign exchange reserves were only 3.3 billion US dollars, Mr. Yang, do you think the US dollar is so easy to earn? However, if the Canton Fair can trade 10 billion this year, it will be more sensational! I'm afraid it can double the 3.3 billion foreign exchange reserves, right? This kind of historic moment, Lao Duan, we must not miss it! ”

Jiang Yang rubbed his hands excitedly, raised the wine glass on the table, and was about to toast with Duan Haisheng, but when he looked at Yang Yun again, he didn't react at all, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed: "Mr. Yang, the country is so prosperous, and the foreign exchange reserves are increasing year by year, that's a good thing!" The Canton Fair is a multi-billion dollar event, why do you have such an expression? Don't you want to participate at all? ”

Cut! This number can't arouse my brother's interest at all!

$3.3 billion in foreign exchange reserves excites you like this? When my brother came, the country's foreign exchange reserves were 3 trillion US dollars, and if you say it, it will scare you to death, hum!

Yang Yun could only pretend to be excited: "Okay, good, I want to participate." But in what format are you going to exhibit? Chiyang 4-in-1 game card? Chiyang study card? ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Yang and Duan Haisheng were immediately embarrassed, they knew it very well in their hearts.

Secretly engaged in plagiarism in China, even if it was forgotten, Chiyang Electronics Factory plagiarized the Kote study card, and then pasted a Chiyang label, and it was still selling prosperously, and the China Industrial Corporation, headquartered in Beijing, did not intervene, not because I didn't want to care, but I couldn't manage it at all.

But if you really want to participate in the Canton Fair, you will face buyers from Shijie countries, and if you really want to come up with any Super Mario and King Kong games to sell, I'm afraid there will be no order, and the first one to find it is definitely Nintendo's lawyer expert group.

In terms of originality, I'm afraid there are only circuses and saroman snakes, and there are only two of them, which are too cold.

Duan Haisheng could only smile bitterly: "Try it, let's prepare two sets of plans, if domestic customers have purchases, they will give four in one, and those who earn foreign exchange from exports are counting on Mr. Yang for your new game, it is best to tie in our Chiyang learning machine host by the way, and we must also strive to contribute to the country's foreign exchange earnings." ”

Yang Yun spread his hands, helpless: "Okay, just go." As for the game, I'll do my best! ”

……

……

With only a week to prepare, and at least half a day to test and burn the game cartridge, there's really not much time left.

The two-in-one game card is not competitive in the market, and Yang Yun is ready to work overtime to make two more to make a four-in-one, and deal with the Canton Fair first.

Hollowing out his mind, Yang Yun tried hard to recall the FC games he had played, wrote them down one by one, and crossed them off the paper one by one.

Side-scrolling games are definitely the development trend of the game, and it's best not to have a single-screen game in the four-in-one, but it's a pity that the two classic games, Tank Battle and Tetris, Yang Yun is still in the anti-unfair competition constraints, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, he can only tearfully abandon them.

Yang Yun finally decided that the two games were simple and fun, and the programming was not complicated, and they could be made within a week.

Rocket car, vertical scrolling racing game, the player controls the orange car to accelerate on the high-speed track, the screen has a fixed line of yellow obstacle cars, active approaching red obstacle cars, swaying green obstacle cars, super long special transport vehicles, sinkhole rocks on the road, sewer manhole covers, and color time cars that are refreshed at any time.

The game doesn't have a bullet firing system and is relatively simple in design, as soon as it collides with any of the obstacles, the car will spin out of control for a short distance, while allowing the player to slow down to control the direction, and once they hit the track on both sides, they will be directly crashed.

Adventure Island, a game similar to Super Mario, also known as Takahashi Celebrity Adventure Island, an old-fashioned warrior saving the princess story, requires players to break through one level after another, throw axes, throw flames, fight small monsters, fight big bosses, scenes have land, sea, caves, rocks, glaciers, etc., monsters have snails, frogs, squid, sharks, bats, bees, skulls and so on.

In order to ensure originality, Yang Yun tossed and turned, contacted Alexey who was far away in the United States, and the two chatted.

Cranberry Cube KTT had been operating Tetris sales in the early days, and after Nintendo purchased the first 1 million copies, the second renewal of the 1 million copies was directly operated by Alexey.

Tetris is selling well in the North American and Japanese markets, looking at this situation, it won't take a few years for both of them to become multimillionaires, so Yang Yun doesn't call, Alexey will also contact Yang Yun recently.

Nintendo is ready to sign a third Tetris contract with KTT, but Nintendo is ready to use the right to renegotiate the price for the first time, which requires the two parties to sit down and negotiate face-to-face again, and this is when Yang Yun needs to come forward.

After asking Nintendo about the negotiation time, Yang Yun calculated, at least until after the National Day, so he agreed to contact after the National Day, and Alexei first had to determine the ownership of the international patents for the Adventure Island and the rocket car.

Putting down the phone, Yang Yun held a mobilization meeting and set the design tasks of the two games.

Zhang Guoqiang took the two of them to focus on the rocket car game, Xiang Tian and Matsumoto Yoshino drew six scenes of MapleStory Island respectively, and Inoue Yanxiong took others to do game integration, and directly carried the weapon shooting system of the Saroman Snake to the MapleStory Island game, and slightly improved it.

Yang Yun made a promise that if he worked overtime within a week, he would be rewarded with 2,000 yuan in red envelopes per person.

As soon as this statement came out, the whole company was high-spirited! Zhang Guoqiang even dragged a few young brothers from the Department of Computer Science of Tsinghua University to come over to do odd jobs, and the research and development progress immediately accelerated a lot.

The next day, Alexey contacted Yang Yun, and the news was good and bad.

The bad news is that the rocket car is Konami's game, which is a direct competitor.

The good news is that the original copyright owner of Takahashi's Celebrity Adventure Island is Westone, an American game developer who has been in contact with Alexey and can pay for the extended development rights to the other party's game in US dollars, and the other party has quoted $0.1 per copy.

At this price, Yang Yun did not hesitate and asked Alexey to agree to the other party's offer.

After making an appointment, Yang Yun and Jiang Shaoyun ran all over the capital together, and it took great difficulty to find a fax machine that could accept American calls, received a contract from Alexey, and then went to the US ambassador to China to send an authorization document stamped with the seal of Longteng Company and signed by himself, and told Alexey to bring the effective patent authorization document to the Canton Fair as soon as possible.

Toss people!

But in order not to fall into the mouth, it is not okay not to toss!

If you want to go to the Canton Fair and sell your products to the world, you must ensure the legitimacy of the patent.

The Japanese indie game manufacturer Hudson's version of Adventure Island has 8 levels and 32 levels, which is almost the same repetition, and the difference in difficulty is how much the little monsters in the game are different, which seems very boring, even for the most powerful players, it takes almost an hour to get through the game, and it is very easy to get tired of vision.

Yang Yun had Xiang Tian and Matsumoto Yoshino redesign, and the final Dragon version of Adventure Island had more detailed and richer graphics, and more small monster models were added, making it more replayable.

Xiang Tian is a professional painter who graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and produced illustrations for children's animation in the Beijing Film Studio, he added a lot of Chinese elements to the game, and canceled the 8X4 mode of the level, carefully selected 16 different map backgrounds, which can be called luxurious!

In addition, Konami must be an undying competitor, and it is impossible for the rocket car to ask them for authorization, so Yang Yun can only make large-scale changes, and work with Zhang Guoqiang's public relations team for several days in a row, and the final racing game is more like a vertical space shuttle.

Finally, on the day of September 8th, a group of people from Longteng Company finally settled on these two games with black circles and red eyes, and then sent them to Chiyang Electronics Factory to burn 100 boxes of game cartridges overnight, labeled as Chiyang four-in-one game cards, Saloman Snake, Adventure Island, Circus, Rocket Car.

The next day, Yang Yun joined the delegation in Beijing and boarded the train to Yangcheng.

The autumn Canton Fair in 1989 is about to begin!
