Chapter 100: Recruitment in Japan (One More Subscription and Commuter Pass)
Yang Yun said fiercely: "Since you have chosen the second path, then I will have a game to you below, called "Round Table Warrior", the legend of King Arthur and his Round Table Warrior popular in Europe, you just want to dig deep into these legends, and create a full series of Round Table Warrior stories, you do the script, Guoqiang makes the game, I will let the Chinese "King Arthur and His Round Table Warrior" sell all over Shijie!" ”
"Huh?" Liu Cixing opened his mouth wide in surprise, this is the second way, and the pressure is so great......
"Ahhhh It's too late! Yang Yun said with a smile: "The novels of the Saloma Snake have traveled all over the world with the game, and you are also an international non-famous writer." After you become a samurai of the Round Table, I will bring you a set of books from the United States next, the whole series of DND, you have to eat them all, otherwise, hum, don't blame me for being polite! ”
The matter of the famous generals and the samurai of the round table was decided, and Yang Yun took the time to discuss with the art team, trying to restore the game screen of the famous generals in his memory.
But Yang Yun found one thing, his memory is getting worse and worse, he still played the famous game more than ten years ago, and used the simulator to reminisce a few times when he was in college, if you really want to talk about the details, how can you remember it completely?
This matter is very serious, Yang Yun decided to find a small notebook and write down all the memories in his mind one by one, in order to prevent him from even remembering the name of the game after three or five years.
Another important thing is that the game will be developed on the arcade machine, and it will be based on the CPS1 baseboard, which is Capcom-Play-System-1, which is Capcom's dedicated game system. It is a new type of substrate developed by Capcom in two years and at a cost of 1 billion yen.
Sega's current 16-bit arcade substrate is called KMT. The game development rights were given to the Sega headquarters in Japan, and the development kit was given to Longteng. But the engineers on Longteng's side are basically unfamiliar.
In the end, he decided to go to Japan and get the game done!
……
……
February is the settlement date for many Japanese companies.
This year's economic downturn, the overall environment is bad, and in the game industry, except for a limited number of companies that are still making profits, most of them are in the red.
Konami is one of them, and they have mixed feelings right now. It's a difficult situation.
Once one of the Six Tigers of Nintendo, enjoying superhuman treatment, Nintendo gave the most favored policy, no limit on the number of games, no game management fees, and even authorized Konami to produce its own game cards, so that they can make money and make money.
88 annual net profit of 90 million US dollars, last month President Jing Zheng waved his hand to charter a plane in the 89 Japanese New Year. All employees of the company brought their families to Hawaii for a vacation, and the company reimbursed them.
What a sight it is!
It's a pity that in 89, I was busy for a whole year, and first the Saroman snake leaked out of the R&D department somehow, and was developed by Longteng first. Later, it was abandoned by Nintendo, and the copyright of Contra was also lost, and then it encountered an economic crisis. The whole company is ready to survive the cold winter and survive the 90th New Year, but I didn't expect Sega to release a death squad. The Red Fortress, Konami's signature game, was shattered, and the New Year's orders were not even half of those of previous years!
Konami wailed. Not only did the employees have no welfare bonuses, but even the payment of wages was delayed, and people's hearts were quite unstable, even if Yamauchi Pu personally came to the Konami headquarters to express condolences, last month, Jingzheng could not stop the loss of employees.
There is no way, now the company's most important best-selling games are all blocked, new games have not yet been released, and the developers have no intention of working at all, and they are all fending for themselves.
In February 1990, a number of companies in various industries in Japan began to lay off employees one after another, and the game production industry was also inevitable, and for the old people in this industry, it was like the story of the Atari incident in 1983, when countless small companies went bankrupt and countless employees were laid off.
When someone falls, someone gets up immediately.
The Asahi Shimbun, Tokyo's largest newspaper, ran a large job advertisement, and Fengyun Game Software Company did the opposite, recruiting senior game designers with high salaries, which caused a strong response in the game industry.
Yang Yun pretended to be an ordinary job applicant, sat next to Wang Zhe, and inspected the down-and-out peers who came to apply.
"Note that the employees of small companies should be handled by themselves, and the employees of large companies should be cautious, and if necessary, I will personally negotiate with these people."
Yang Yun stipulated it like this, and Wang Zhe and others also grasped it very well.
Resumes received a lot, and even quite a few designers from Namco, Konami, and even Capcom laid off.
Of course, the employees of Nintendo are resolute and do not want it, and the employees of Sega are all politely refused, and Fengyun Games insists on their own point of view, and they do not support opponents.
"Astringent Ando, Namco, participated in the production of "Necronic" and "Magic Story" ......"
"Ueda Gunmasa, Konami, arcade "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", Damn, Cowman, participated in "Castlevania", rely on ......"
"Ryuji Yamada, Konami, participated in the ...... of "Castlevania""
“…… This is another ...... from Konami What seems to be going on? ”
Yang Yun looked at these lists, all of them were candidates who had worked for well-known companies, and the most common one was Konami.
Ma Liang couldn't stop laughing on the side: "Mr. Yang, you did the bad things yourself, and you won't admit it after you finish it?" ”
"Fuck off!" Yang Yun rolled up his resume, patted it on Ma Liang's head, and scolded with a smile: "Kill Konami, that's my greatest pride, it's an honor!" He deserved his bad luck, he followed a bad master, and he couldn't even protect his little brother. If you kid dare to say one more word, I'll kick you into the Nintendo camp! ”
Ma Liang was not afraid at all, and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll take away the 20 people under my command and I'll be angry with you!" ”
Yang Yunzhen kicked over: "If you want to die, you can go!" Okay, it's just them, this Namco's Ando Shibu, as well as Konami Ueda Junmasa, and Capcom's Chiba Akihara, let me know, and I'll take the test again tomorrow. I'll talk about it personally. Ma Liang, these three people will be handed over to you. You have to be optimistic, the core code must not be opened. And you're going to have to dig out more of their mouths and dig up Namco, Konami, and Capcom's game design experience! ”
Ma Liang put away his hippie smile and nodded solemnly: "I understand, don't worry!" ”
The next day, Yang Yun personally sat in the living room, next to Wang Zhe, president of Fengyun Company. Translator, HR manager, very large specifications, very solemn.
Namco's An Teng Shi has seen it.,Speaking of which it's not an outsider.,I'm very familiar with Kudo Akiko.,It's a very good colleague.,Introduced by this girl, I came to apply.,One is to play the front station.。 The second is to see that the prospects are unlimited, and the two sides hit it off, and An Teng quickly joined the game.
Konami Ueda Junmasa is even more stubborn, a senior designer of Konami. The chief designer of the arcade Ninja Turtles Turtles, such a person can actually change jobs, Yang Yun and his friends were stunned. There is only one thought, Konami is a melon baby!
zuihou a Capcom Chiba Akibara. After not seeing him come for a long time, Yang Yun frowned: "What time did you notify?" Haven't arrived yet? ”
Wang Zhe said embarrassedly: "It's 10 o'clock in the morning." I didn't know that weishenme hadn't ...... yet."
"What is the dog babbling......" A person hurriedly pushed the door in, looking a little embarrassed, it was this Chiba Akihara.
Wang Zhe prompted him to sit down, and the talks began.
But before Yang Yun could ask a few words, the screams of the little girl at the front desk came from outside the door, accompanied by a large number of noisy sounds, which seemed to be an argument between the employees of Fengyun Games.
"What's going on?" Yang Yun was unhappy, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a group of people poured in, led by a strange Japanese man, and two Japanese policemen in uniform, surrounded by employees of Fengyun Games.
The interpreter immediately stepped forward to inquire and soon learned what was going on.
The Japanese named Yoshiki Okamoto, a Capcom man, after learning that Chiba Akihara was planning to switch from Capcom to Fengyun Games, found two police officers who were ready to sabotage the meeting, obstruct the accession, and charge Chiba Akihara with leaking.
Yoshiki Okamoto? Yang Yun seems to have a little impression that this person should have a very high status in Capcom, otherwise he will not enter Yang Yun's field of vision.
Sure enough, Yang Yun quietly asked Chiba Akihara, he and Okamoto Yoshiki are the main designers of Capcom's ace fighting game Street Fighter, Okamoto Yoshiki is the team leader, and Chiba Akihara is the deputy team leader, but they have always been at odds, Chiba Akihara is excluded and can't get a foothold, so he can only find a way to change jobs, there is absolutely no illegal thing in this.
hahahaha!
It's called dozing off and someone sends a pillow, a senior employee of Capcom, the chief designer of Street Fighter, since you Chiba Akihara broke into my Fengyun game company, I will easily let you go? As for this Okamoto Yoshiki, where did you come from and where to go back, if you don't want to go back, then follow and stay!
Yang Yun quickly arranged it, keep people!
Isn't it just a lawsuit? Fight, brother fights with you! As long as Chiba Akihara doesn't commit any crimes, Fengyun Games must protect him.
Because the matter has already involved foreign countries, the Japanese police do not dare to act rashly and suggest that the two sides settle it peacefully.
Okamoto Yoshiki is now in the enemy camp, and under the watchful eye of Yang Yun and others, he is already a little cowardly.
This is indeed a personal grudge between the two, Okamoto Yoshiki won the victory in the infighting, and was ready to humiliate Chiba Akihara fiercely, but he didn't expect to learn that Chiba Akihara was going to jump ship in the process of humiliation, and he panicked all of a sudden, pulled and pulled for a long time, threatened and intimidated, and prevented him from coming to the interview.
Zuihou Chiba Akihara escaped in embarrassment, and Yoshiki Okamoto called two policemen to help, but he was powerless to return to the sky and couldn't stop it.
Everyone understands the situation of the matter, and no one wants to see this kind of.
Yang Yun suddenly underestimated Yoshiki Okamoto, but he didn't expect that the designer who could design Street Fighter turned out to be this kind of person, what is this called? Without the general's mind, he can't tolerate people, Nima Zuihou is still ready to slap his face and step on people and pretend to be forced, is this kind of thing capable of Yoshiki Okamoto? This kind of thing can only be done by him, Yang Yun!
So when Yoshiki Okamoto left angrily, Yang Yun stopped him and gave him a war letter! (To be continued......)
