In the middle of December, all walks of life in the United States were busy putting the finishing touches on the pre-Christmas holidays, and Dragon Toys Company quickly selected a site, registered, and began to commission the Parker Brothers factory to produce the "Bang!" game cards.

Yang Yun handed over the rules of the base pack version to George Parker, and designed a card shape, which won the approval of George Sr.

Then, Yang Yun entrusted Alexey to help take care of his business in the United States, and returned to China in a hurry.

No way! The trip to the United States was too rewarding, Longteng Toys Company sent people to do management, EA Labs sent people to make PC games, Parker Brothers global marketing network sent people to promote Three Kingdoms Kill cards, and Sega sent people to jointly develop arcade Contra.

The first thing Yang Yun did after returning to China was to convene a meeting with the management, and he urgently needed to solve the problem of manpower shortage!

First of all, I listened to the progress report of the domestic subordinates.

Zhao Yongping is responsible for the factory has been built, the fourth ring of Zhaozhuang that piece of land invited the most Haode construction team in the capital, with no less than the "speed of the deep market", quickly set up a plant and R & D center, has now been delivered, Zhang Guotai and Zhu Shiqiang are in the Longteng factory R & D center, responsible for the production of Longteng learning machine and game cards.

Jiang Shaoyun's marketing department has expanded the team, and the cooperation with Jiang Yang is limited, sooner or later they will build an independent sales network and firmly grasp the market.

FC side-scrolling game project team, Zhang Guoqiang led people to do things day and night, Dragon Warrior has entered the testing stage of zuihou, and the death squad has also completed 40%, and it is expected to be officially released at the end of December.

SLG Three Kingdoms project team, led by Inoue Yoshio and Matsumoto Yoshino, the research and development speed is very fast, only a month has passed since the project was established, and 30% has been completed, the project team adopts a parallel development model, although a lot of labor is wasted, there are a lot of repetitive work content, and it is time-consuming to deal with compatibility problems, but in order to fight for progress, this is the best way to do it.

The script team has expanded the scale of personnel, and there is still 20% left in the script of the Three Kingdoms game, which has passed the screening of Yi Zhongtian's historical materials, but there is still a part of the content in front that needs to be checked by Yang Yun personally.

The development of these things is within Jihua, Yang Yun has been abroad for three weeks, with Zhao Yongping in charge, Longteng Company has been running smoothly without any problems.

Seeing that the base camp was impregnable, Yang Yun was very satisfied: "Let me announce two things below. First, the company needs to recruit a large number of software engineers and sales personnel, Huimin, Yongping, and Near East, I hope that the three of you will take up the recruitment matter, and recruit 50 R&D personnel and 50 sales personnel for me as soon as possible, and it will be determined within a week. I have already arranged the work location of these people, except for leaving 10 software engineers to supplement Longteng Lab, the rest of the 90 people are all sent to the United States and Japan! ”

Wow......

The conference room is boiling!

The big deal of recruiting 100 people has never appeared after the creation of Longteng Company.

And the place of work in the United States and Japan, this is the style of labor abroad, in addition to the high salary of Longteng itself, there will generally be labor dispatch subsidies, which are calculated according to US dollars, including room and board, and a subsidy of 5 US dollars a day, 150 US dollars a month, which is equivalent to a month's salary in China, which is still a net pocket!

The most important thing is that sending these 100 people to Japan and the United States will inevitably accept the most advanced software development jishu on Shijie, as well as the most advanced sales concept.

Zhao Yongping was the most calm and asked, "Are there any special requirements?" ”

Yang Yun nodded: "The sales side must be young and able to endure hardships, must know English, understand small languages such as German, Italian, French, Russian, etc., and be willing to work abroad all year round is preferred." On the engineer's side, jishu is of course the most important indicator, and it is best to have overseas study experience, or a senior jishu who is doing game development in China, and knows Japanese or English, and I will arrange for these people to work at Sega and Electronic Arts headquarters respectively! ”

Wow......

There was another burst of exclamation, Ma Liang, who was promoted to Zhang Guoqiang's deputy, was the least afraid of Yang Yun, and was the first to say: "Mr. Yang, I will sign up!" I know a little Japanese, and I'm going to study at the headquarters of the dead family! ”

Zhang Guoqiang pushed him and said angrily: "You are fooling around!" The death squads haven't been done yet, and you're still counting on going abroad? Mr. Yang, don't let this kid out! I'm much better than him, so why don't you let me go to the United States......"

“hahahaha……”

Yang Yun was also amused, looking at this pair of living treasures, he knew that the two of them were in a group, and nothing good must have happened, I heard that the two of them had a gentleman's agreement to a fair duel in order to compete for the heart of the artist Su Xiuyun......

The scene was a little chaotic, Zhao Yong said with a flat face: "Don't make a fool of yourself!" Mr. Yang must have his own arrangements! ”

The laughter was much smaller for a while, which showed that Zhao Yongping was quite authoritative in the company, everyone was convinced of him, and he also positioned himself in the position of black face, and managed the company in an orderly manner in these days when Yang Yun went abroad.

Glancing at Zhao Yongping approvingly, Yang Yun smiled and said: "The opportunity to go abroad will be available in the future, Yongping is right, I will have arrangements." Now let's talk about the second thing, New Year's Day, which is the Japanese New Year, I will go to Japan to attend Sega's carnival. Matsumoto will go back with me, and Inoue, you will work hard, the Three Kingdoms game cannot do without you. ”

Inoue nodded, he had already been back once, and Matsumoto Yoshino was excited.

"In addition, Yongping, you follow me to Japan, and then you go and ask Lao Duan, if he wants to see if the moon in a foreign country is rounder than China, then bring him with him!"

Ma Liang was anxious: "Mr. Yang, Section Chief Yang, Brother Yang, if Director Duan doesn't want to go, can you change me?" ”

Yang Yun smiled: "You...... Guoqiang, why don't I bring this kid with me and give you a chance to go on a solo date? ”

Everyone was uproaring, Zhang Guoqiang was not ashamed, patted Ma Liang's shoulder with a big grin, and said with a smile: "Dude, you can go with peace of mind, Xiuyun will be handed over to me......"

Ma Liang opened his mouth wide, he didn't want to give up at both ends, he wanted both ends, and said with a sad face: "Don't play like this......"

Yang Yun waved his hand and continued: "In addition, Shaoyun, you hurry up and make up for your English for a few days, and when you recruit 50 salespeople in these days, you will take people to go abroad immediately, and I will arrange a company to accept you, and then the global sales network will depend on you people!" ”

Thinking that he was out of play, Jiang Shaoyun was still a little depressed, but now when he heard such a heavy burden pressing on him, he immediately aroused his pride: "Haode Mr. Yang!" I speak English very well, you can rest assured to leave it to me, if you don't do well, I'll get back immediately! ”

Yang Yun was very satisfied: "Well done, I promoted you to the president of the North American branch, if you don't do well, just do as you say, and obediently come back to help me, how about it?" ”

"No problem!" This time, Jiang Shaoyun's pride and ambition were completely ignited, and not only him, everyone was excited, in the high-speed expansion of Longteng Company, everything is possible! As long as you do it well, no position is a dream!

……

……

After Yang Yun dealt with a bunch of things in the company, he came to Sega China.

Nagano couldn't wait, and took Yang Yun to a conference room, which had been converted into an R&D center, where a few raunchy software engineers were discussing something in a whisper.

"Yang, these are a few of the best software engineers and professional artists selected from the headquarters at your request."

Yang Yun nodded, after signing the Contra development agreement with Sega in the United States, he asked Japan to send a team to China to wait for him, and he had the means to develop two more exciting Contra games for Sega within ten days.

Sega can only trust Yang Yun, time is pressing, in order to get a piece of the Christmas holiday, they must complete the development and testing of the Contra game in ten days, and then fly it to North America and Europe for distribution.

Yang Yun came up with two Contra games developed on SFC16-bit consoles in the future, Contra Spirit and Contra Liliang, which correspond to Sega's arcade and Genesis hardware, which is very consistent.

The artist followed Yang Yun and recorded the two games in the form of simple sketches, and handed them to Yongye for preservation after getting Yang Yun's approval, and it took half a day to draw all the levels and key scenes of the two games.

The programmer was even busier, Yang Yun not only used the explosive bomb tracking bullet and flamethrower in the original spirit, but also added special grenades, and allowed the flamethrower to charge and burst, and the character could switch between the main and secondary weapons by pressing the button.

The arcade version of Contra is extremely difficult, with a total of 6 levels, which are also divided into horizontal scrolls and vertical scrolls, compared with the FC version, the picture quality is clearer, and the special effects are more exquisite, especially the flamethrower and special grenades, which give full play to the high performance of the Sega KMT substrate, which is quite enjoyable, and meets the professional requirements of the Sega arcade, which is exciting, exciting, difficult, and exquisite.

The Genesis version is Contra liliang, an independent video game software with a total of 4 characters to choose from, each with their own best weapon, because of the use of a 16-bit CPU, the special effects produced are much more powerful than the FC8-bit CPU.

There is no need for Yang Yun to say too much, as long as he gently clicks a few positions, the Japanese developers draw inferences from one another, not only perfectly realizing Yang Yun's requirements, but also putting forward their own ideas, enriching the content of the game, this kind of professionalism and professionalism makes Yang Yun awe-inspired.

In the past ten days, Yang Yun took Ma Liang and the two of them to soak in the Sega laboratory, eating, living and sleeping with this group of Japanese software engineers, not only experiencing the pure Japanese game development culture, but most importantly, having a deep understanding of the Genesis development kit and the KMT substrate development kit.

Everyone is in a hurry, and they are busy.

Sega China fought for Contra, and finally made the final beta version within ten days, and the trial Nagano and Yang Yun and others were full of praise, Sega's powerful arcade substrate and Genesis 16-bit will show the hot scene to the fullest, this ordinary shooting game in the hands of Konami and can only be sold on the Nintendo FC platform, has been reborn under the changes of Yang Yun and Sega, detonating the audience, with excellent visual and auditory enjoyment!

Zhao Yongping and the three of them were busy recruiting people, publishing recruitment advertisements in several national newspapers such as China Youth Daily, and after preliminary telephone conversations, they reimbursed the interviewers for tickets to Beijing, and successfully recruited 50 sales personnel within three days.

The vice president who came from the Hong Kong branch of Park Brothers trained the new sales staff for three days in Longteng Company, talked about the culture of Park Brothers and the specific situation of the branches in various places, and assigned the corresponding Chinese sales staff of each branch, and notified the headquarters of Park Brothers to send a business invitation letter.

On the eve of Christmas, Longteng received business invitations from Parker Brothers from more than 20 countries and regions. And so many people went abroad at the same time, when a large number of visas were processed, the matter alarmed the Zhongguancun Police Station and the Entry and Exit Administration, or Duan Haisheng and Zhao Yongping came forward to find someone to settle the matter, and before Christmas, the sales team of 51 people flew to all over the world, like dandelion seeds, with the sacred mission of Longteng Company, it took root.

In 1989 Christmas, when the New Year was celebrated in European and American countries, Longteng, Sega, Nintendo, Parker Brothers, EA, there was such a group of people who were always busy, they provided consumers with the most abundant goods, which was the hardest and busiest day, and it was also their happiest harvest day.

The day before the New Year's Day, Yang Yun, Zhao Yongping, Duan Haisheng, Ma Liang, and Matsumoto Yoshino boarded a plane to Tokyo with 20 of the best game software engineers in China.

Longteng company in the national newspaper to recruit the best software engineers, and then in just a few days, successively sent a team of more than 70 people abroad, these moves fell in the eyes of people with a heart, that is a great event, rumors must be indispensable.

However, Yang Yun can't take care of it anymore, Sega's carnival is about to be held, and this is the most important thing.

Judging from Yang Yundao's habit of never leaving his hand, never falling short, and not taking advantage of the bastard, this time he came to Japan to participate in the carnival, which will definitely make waves again!
