Chapter 68: RB Borderless Game

HSBC gave Borderless a $100 million loan the next day, and it was a low-interest loan.

The trip to Hong Kong is almost complete. As for immigrating to Hong Kong, Zhao Ye felt that there was no need for this for the time being.

Therefore, Zhao Ye and his entourage soon took a plane and went to RB.

Before Zhao Ye came to RB, the Borderless RB branch had already followed Zhao Ye's instructions and began to recruit a large number of game developers, game artists, game planners, programmers, audio programmers, etc.

At the same time, Wujiang also sent a group of employees from the mainland to RB to learn game production from these RB employees.

RB people have a lot of experience in developing games, as the so-called "master Yi long skills to control the raze".

If China's game industry wants to catch up with RB, it must first learn from RB.

A few hours later, the Boeing plane arrived at RB Tokyo Airport.

At this time, the sky is cloudless and the breeze is not dry.

Zhao Ye looked at the tall buildings in the distance and the boarding stairs at his feet, he raised his head slightly, as if he had stepped on this land with the attitude of a conqueror.

Xue Yu, the general manager of RB Wujiang, had already greeted him outside the airport with several directors of the company, and an employee held a striking sign that read, "Warmly welcome the leaders of Wujiang Head Office."

The people in the branch receive the people in the head office, and the more low-key the better.

Zhao Ye didn't want the RB media to report that he came to RB, and of course, other RB media may not all know him.

"Hello boss, welcome to RB!"

"Manager Xue, hello!"

"Boss, our car is parked outside, there are too many people here, it's a bit chaotic, let's get out of here first."

"Okay."

The group left the airport quickly and headed for a hotel near the branch.

On the way to the hotel, Xue Yu introduced Zhao Ye to the situation of RB Wujiang Company.

"Boss, according to your instructions, we have recently started a large-scale recruitment of game developers, and we have recruited a total of sixty-five people, including 5 artists, 4 game planners, 50 programmers, and 3 audio engineers......"

"These people have a lot of experience in game development before."

"Well, well done! However, we still have to continue to hire, and at the moment, Nintendo is the dominant family, and many third-party game developers are only looking at Nintendo. We want to break the game, and we have to rely on our own games from the start! When our consoles sell well, there should be third-party game developers willing to come to our console platform to develop games! ”

Xue Yu nodded.

However, he is actually a little optimistic about this game console project in his heart.

As the general manager of the branch stationed at RB for a long time, he knows Nintendo much more than anyone else.

Nintendo's FC home consoles almost monopolize the RB console market, and almost all third-party game developers have to rely on it. However, Nintendo made a stupid move this year, which made Xue Yu see a glimmer of hope for his company to break the game.

In February of this year, Nintendo developed FD, or FC Disk Drive, which is an accessory for FC, using floppy disks as media, and you only need to take the floppy disk to the vending machine in a retail store to download the game. This solves the problem of low capacity and high price of early game cards, and floppy disks can be rewritten, further reducing the cost of playing games for players.

At this time, Nintendo proposed that if the game company released the game on FD, Nintendo would automatically receive half of the intellectual property as a co-publisher!

Good guy, this kind of "overlord treaty", just ask you if you accept it? Many third-party game businesses also have to grit their teeth and recognize.

However, Nintendo made a mistake this time, although there are many soft persimmons, there are also many hard ones. Some major game manufacturers such as Konami and Capcom are just barely making a few games to pretend to deal with Nintendo, and they don't have the momentum they had when they joined FC at all - don't let them make cassettes, I'll go back to make arcades, aren't you bragging about your own games? Do it yourself, you won't be waiting!

Based on this situation, once the Wujiang game console is on fire, these major game manufacturers may consider changing the game console platform for development.

Rest for the night.

The next morning.

Zhao Ye and his entourage rushed to RB Wujiang Branch. Here, Xue Yu introduced the company's directors to Zhao Ye one by one.

Since most of the employees in the branch are RB people, Zhao Ye just nodded and smiled at everyone, and said a few words of encouragement, such as "hard work", "keep up the good work" and the like, which Zhao Ye temporarily learned from Li Aoyun last night.

"Call all the game developers together!" Zhao Ye finally instructed Xue Yu.

"Okay, boss."

Xue Yu responded, hurriedly gathered the game developers, and then went to the conference room for a meeting.

After a while, the room was overcrowded, and some people had to stand aside without seats.

Zhao Ye walked to the front, and Li Aoyun followed behind, waiting for her to do translation work.

According to Li Aoyun, he has an aunt who used to be an RB diplomat, and later returned to China to develop. Li Aoyun's Japanese was taught by her aunt. The reason why Li Aoyun's Japanese level is so high has nothing to do with her aunt's inability to speak, she can only say the same......

Zhao Ye looked around and nodded secretly in his heart.

There are 65 RB employees and 15 mainland employees.

There were eighty of them in all.

In this era, the cost of developing games is not high, and many classic games can be done by one person. For a more complex game, a few or a dozen players are perfectly sufficient.

No matter how complicated the game is, I'm afraid it's not necessary, after all, the storage medium capacity is limited, and you can't use it to develop a large game for me.

Before Zhao Ye came to RB, he had already thought about what game he wanted to develop, but he didn't immediately say his game planning plan.

He looked at the crowd and asked, "I'm here first, and welcome everyone to join the game." Then, before the official start of the meeting, everyone can talk freely, whether anyone has come up with a good game idea, and now you can put it forward for everyone's reference. Once selected, you can serve as the team leader for that game project. ”

After Zhao Ye finished speaking, the conference room suddenly became noisy.

The reason why they are in the game development industry is because most people are more passionate about the industry. The game is not too creative......

Soon someone stepped forward and spoke out loud about their game ideas.

Immediately afterward, more and more people spoke out about their game ideas.

Zhao Ye sat in the first place, did not speak, smiled, listened quietly, and whenever he heard a good game idea, he would cast a glance of approval at the other party.

Still, most people's ideas are relatively mediocre.

occasionally excelled, but because the idea was too whimsical and the game development was difficult, Zhao Ye vetoed it in his heart.

After they finished talking, Zhao Ye couldn't help but sigh in his heart, a genius like Nintendo's ace designer Shigeru Miyamoto is indeed rare.

Forget it, let's do it yourself.

PS: In 1985, "Super Mario Bros. " was about to be released, and the protagonist couldn't cut off the hu, woo woo, it's a pity. Do you have any suggestions for which game to develop for the main character?
