"I need to set up a game development team for Hulu Brothers, if any of you want to, sign up voluntarily!" Zhao Ye looked around and spoke.

Many people are interested in "Hulu Brothers" and want to replicate the sales miracle of "Super Mario".

For a while, people who wanted to participate in this project raised their hands to sign up.

Zhao Ye took a look and found that the people in the project team of "Pokemon" raised the most hands, almost one-third of the project team.

Damn, are you people so unoptimistic about Pokemon?

Zhao Ye's head was full of black lines, and he was speechless.

Pokemon was a game that had not been available before.

Because these elves are so cute, even Nintendo was not optimistic about them in the previous life, and at the beginning of the game's release, it didn't spend much resources to promote it.

However, "Pokemon" became popular all over RB with lightning speed, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

"It's all decided?" Zhao Ye asked.

"It's all decided!" Those who raised their hands answered one after another.

Zhao Ye nodded: "Okay, then you can join the game development team of "Hulu Brothers"!" As for the original game development team, if there is a shortage of people, they will recruit people from the society! ”

Subsequently, Zhao Ye designated the RB game developer Yuki Inoue who had just spoken as the leader of the development team of "Hulu Brothers".

After the arrangement, Zhao Ye turned to the hardware department.

Wang Jizhi has returned from the Netherlands, and Philips's mouth is too hard, so he is unwilling to reduce the price.

Therefore, Zhao Ye simply asked Wang Jizhi to come back first.

Borderless isn't in such a hurry to develop CD consoles at the moment.

Besides, CD is only a game reserve medium, and whether the game console is powerful or not really depends on the CPU.

A 16-bit console is naturally more powerful than an 8-bit console.

Loongson Design has not yet designed a 16-bit Kirin 2 chip, so there is no need to develop a new generation of game consoles.

However, Zhao Ye came to Wang Jizhi to develop a new game hardware.

After Zhao Ye came to Wang Jizhi's office, he exchanged a few words of greeting with him, and then went straight to the point: "I now need you to develop a palm-sized game console as soon as possible - the handheld game console Gameboy!" ”

Wang Jizhi was stunned when he heard this, paused and couldn't help but light up in his eyes, and said excitedly: "Boss, you are so good, move the game console to the palm of your hand, if this kind of game machine can be carried around, it will definitely be popular all over the world!! ”

Zhao Ye asked with a smile, "Are you sure that you will develop it?" ”

Wang Jizhi thought about it carefully, it is not easy to develop a game console, and now the game console has to be reduced to the size of the palm of his hand, which is a lot more difficult all of a sudden.

Wang Jizhi gritted his teeth and said: "Although the technology is relatively difficult, in theory, it can be developed. So, just give our team a little time and we will definitely be able to make it!! ”

Zhao Ye patted Wang Jizhi on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will also participate in the development this time!" ”

The boss is also involved in the development?

Wang Jizhi was stunned, and then he was overjoyed.

The boss is also involved in the development, what am I afraid of!

"Boss, as soon as you joined the project, I was immediately full of confidence. At this moment, I can't even wait! Wang Jizhi said with a smile.

Seeing this, Zhao Ye couldn't help but laugh.

"By the way, Mr. Wang, before developing the handheld game console, you go to Europe again and buy the game "Tetris" back, I want all the copyrights! This game can not only be played on the computer, it can also be ported to multiple platforms such as video game consoles, handheld game consoles, arcade machines, etc. ”

Wang Jizhi's expression was stunned, he was going on a business trip again......

"Boss, can I not go, I'm not the material for negotiation."

"Well, it doesn't seem that you need a tech-savvy person to buy Tetris, I will send someone to Lu Maoshi, the director of the investment department of Wujiang."

Zhao Ye was wondering at this time whether the company should set up a professional negotiation team, and the patents or companies that he wanted to buy in the future would send negotiators.

"Mr. Wang, you are now starting to form a handheld game console development team. On Children's Day next June 1st, our handheld console Gameboy must be launched! ”

"Okay, no problem!!" Wang Jizhi nodded solemnly.

……

Investment Department.

"Mr. Lu, there is a matter that your investment department must do as soon as possible!"

"Boss, please command!"

"Alexei Pakitnov, a mathematician working at the Computer Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, invented a casual game called Tetris. The basic rules of the game are to move, rotate, and place the various squares that are automatically output by the game, arrange them into one or more complete rows, and eliminate the score. You send someone to Europe as soon as possible to buy all the rights to Tetris from Alexei Pakitnov! ”

Zhao Ye paused, and said with a serious expression, "This game is related to whether our company's products can be popular, it is very important, and it is necessary to win the copyright!" ”

Lu Maoshi was shocked when he heard this, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, boss, I will go in person this time and promise to complete the task!" ”

"Well, I'm waiting for your good news!" Zhao Ye nodded and smiled.

Tetris was only ported to personal computers in 1985, and it is not very well-known today.

If it weren't for Zhao Ye knowing that this game was a masterpiece, he wouldn't have bought it.

Speaking of which, Zhao Ye was actually quite annoyed.

When he came back from rebirth, he forgot to develop "Tetris", but let the Russians take the lead, this game was only developed in June 1984, and Zhao Ye had every chance to cut off the game before this and apply for a patent in advance.

It's a pity!

However, Alexei Pakitnov may not have known the importance of Tetris, and Borderless may be able to take the opportunity to buy the rights to the game.

Zhao Ye didn't know at this time that Lu Maoshi's trip to Europe for negotiations was not easy, Pakitnov had authorized the copyright of "Tetris" to the Computer Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Lu Maoshi was talking about the copyright of "Tetris", which was equivalent to talking with the Soviet Union.

……

Computing firms.

Liu Chuanzhi said excitedly: "Domestic newspapers should soon report the news that our computing company got the Motorola digital BB machine, I don't know if Zhao Ye will be furious after getting the news!" Haha, with our computing institute acting as an agent for Motorola digital BB machines, Wujiang Company no longer wants to make money so comfortably! ”

Not only why, as long as he can hit Zhao Ye and Wujiang Company, Liu Chuanzhi will feel very happy.

Otherwise, he always felt as if he was living in Zhao Ye's shadow.

Today, although he has led the development of the computing institute company very well, it is a world of difference compared with Wujiang company.

is also from the Institute of Computing of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, others only remember Zhao Ye, but they don't know him Liu Chuanzhi.

Yanagawa was extremely unhappy in his heart.

I'm a lot older, but I'm still a little younger?

The next day, major domestic newspapers reported that the Computing Institute had become the exclusive agent of Motorola's digital BB machine in China.

Zhao Ye read the newspaper and showed a faint smile, there was no trace of thunder at all, Liu Chuan Zhihe Computing Institute Company was completely ignored, a company with no technical content was not worthy of being an enemy of Wujiang Company at all.
