Qing Zhiyuan was not in a hurry to return to Tokyo, but stayed in California for a few more days.

The main thing is to realize the wish of the little HR by the way.

This guy wants to come to the United States to have a look, since he can't work here, let's let this guy go more.

It just so happened that Qing Zhiyuan needed a tool man this time, so he came with Akane Ayase.

I don't know why, neon people seem to have a soft spot for rice in their bones.

Qing Zhiyuan thought——

This is probably due to the Muqiang characteristics in the bones of the neon nation.

In the past, when China was strong, neon learned everything from China, and Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism were all learned from China.

Later, Britain became stronger, so he learned from Britain and engaged in the Meiji Restoration.

Then after being subdued by the United States, I felt that the people of the United States were really good, and the United States must be heaven.

In fact, these are the characteristics of Mu Qiang in the bones of neon people, who is strong and whom.

In today's world, the strongest is the United States.

The only one stronger than neon is also the United States.

In 1995, Neon was really the second largest power in the world, far surpassing Germany in terms of total GDP.

Among them, neon is 5.5 trillion US dollars, and Germany is 2.59 trillion US dollars, only 47.1% of neon.

It's a pity that the neon without autonomy threatened the United States, and it was suppressed, and it has been in a slump since the 90s, and the economy has stagnated.

That's the sadness of the neon country.

……

Although I have fantasized countless times for a long time, and from the word of mouth on TV, various media and colleagues around me, I have a lot of preconceived impressions of the rice country.

But after the actual experience, Akane Ayase felt average.

"It doesn't feel very good."

"How do I feel like Tokyo is more bustling? And it's really strange that there are many things that are not only found in Tokyo, but also that we don't see them here. Akane Ayase pondered suspiciously.

"California is the second largest state, and Santa Clara is a good city, are you asking too much?"

This is Silicon Valley.

Historically, Santa Clara was a predominantly agricultural city, but with the rise of the semiconductor industry in the 1960s, the city gradually shifted from agriculture to high-tech industry.

Nowadays, it is rare to see large fields.

It's not at all like the pastoral style of the southern part of the United States in Qing Zhiyuan's impression.

"Hmm...... How to put it, it feels like falling in love. Akane Ayase frowned and thought, "Imaginary love is always dreamy, like a rainbow, and even when you dream, it bubbles pink.

However, once you really fall in love with a man, you will feel that the actual love is quite different from what you imagined.

Well, that's probably how it feels. ”

"Yo, you're still a love master, have you ever been in love?" Qing Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

This touched the reverse scale of the little HR.

Akane Ayase turned around, crossed her hands on her hips, and looked at Qing Zhiyuan sternly:

"President! I just haven't been in love to imagine the beauty of love! ”

"You, it's because you've never been in love that you can't imagine how happy it is to be in love!"

"President's !!"

……

Tokyo's bustling city may be, in part, due to the fact that Tokyo itself is a cosmopolitan metropolis where people from all over the world and cultures come together.

At the same time, in Qingzhiyuan's view, the large number of people in Tokyo is also a very important reason for its prosperity.

Today, the combined population of Tokyo is about 10 million, equivalent to one-tenth of the total population.

Santa Clara, on the other hand, has a population of just over 100,000.

Tokyo is 2,155 square kilometers.

What about Santa Clara? 3377 square kilometers.

It is half the size of Tokyo, but its population is less than one percent of Tokyo's.

In the true sense of the word, the land is vast and sparsely populated.

With this comparison, you can imagine why Tokyo has the impression of being more prosperous.

In Santa Clara, you drive out of Silicon Valley and you don't see a few people for a long time.

As for Tokyo, it is crowded with people, especially when night falls, and it is not too hot.

……

Before leaving Tokyo, Qingzhiyuan received news from Nvidia.

Huang and the other two partners discussed for five days before replying that they agreed to Pokeni's shareholding.

In the end, after several rounds of negotiations, they agreed to a $100 million capital injection by Pokeni to acquire a 30% stake in Nvidia.

At the same time, [3D graphics card] was also officially launched.

Actually, Huang didn't have a better choice.

In the past few days, several people have also used their connections to find some acquaintances in the chip industry, and want to ask if there is any company that has invested in the development of 3D graphics cards for NVIDIA.

Even Huang found Bill Gates, the boss of Microsoft.

After talking about his ideas, Gates did not agree to give them money to develop the product.

The reason is simple -

"Making such a high-performance 3D graphics card is tantamount to fighting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns, and the input and output are not proportional at all."

Lao Huang had a feeling of blushing on the spot.

It was as if he was holding a piece of gold to show others, but he was said to be Shet.

Bill Gates doesn't want to vote for NVIDIA, anti-aircraft guns hitting mosquitoes is only one of the reasons, in fact, the most important thing is that the current Nvidia really can't get into the eye.

This company is too small, and the graphics cards developed in two years are very average, and they are not as good as other graphics card manufacturers.

In such a situation, everyone is afraid that their investment will be wasted.

After putting all the information together and trying other sponsorship efforts without selling their shares, Huang and the other two partners finally gritted their teeth:

Get.

No matter how you look at it, it's the best pokeni.

Generous, not to mention the money, but also to provide inspiration.

What's more, pokeni is a game company, and the 3D shooter games made in the future will definitely set off a wave of 3D frenzy.

At that time, the world will know—

We are not anti-aircraft guns fighting mosquitoes.

The most advanced technology, when matched with the most advanced applications, you will know how amazing it is.

Moreover, if they don't agree to pokeni, they will have to go to the competition.

When the time comes, it will become someone else's graphics card to match the 3D shooter game of pokeni.

All things considered, Nvidia has no chance of winning, and it's not realistic for you to go to a game development company to work on a 3D shooter at this time.

So in the end, they agreed to Qing Zhiyuan's proposal.

After this matter was finalized, Qing Zhiyuan could be regarded as relieving his worries.

Once an agreement is reached, the rest is handled by the company's commercial department.

It just so happens that Qingzhiyuan also has a subsidiary in the United States, and he has experience in going through the process before, so the follow-up will be very fast.

……

After getting rid of NVIDIA, Qing Zhiyuan returned to Neon with a small HR.

As soon as he returned to the company, Qing Zhiyuan first arranged the tasks, and then gathered the core members of the "Border" project into the conference room.

He recounted the matter, and then happily patted Ken Akanishi on the shoulder.

"The 3D graphics card is done, and I guess I'll be able to see what the new graphics card will look like by this time next year.

Strive to develop this 3D shooter game in the following year.

Come on, Mina-san! ”

Akanishi couldn't laugh or cry, so he could only nod.

Good guy, in order to develop a shooting game, you directly invested in a chip company, president, do you want to be so ruthless?

Can't you just let us go?

However, the good news is that it all depends on the completion of the graphics card, so in the next one to two years, Ken Akanishi can not think about this "Frontier" game for a while.

……

The good news is that the graphics card is done and the game can be developed.

The bad news is that graphics card development takes one to two years, and the game is on hold for the time being.

So the work on the hands of Mikami and Xuyuan Xuan was vacant.

After Lao Xu was stimulated by Ma Zhizhun last time, he wanted to make a big one out during this time, but he was forcibly pulled by Qing Zhiyuan to work on "Border" halfway, so he didn't have time to think about the new project.

Now that it's finally back on track, the joy in Xuyuanxuan's heart.

"Well, what's the next game?"

……

Regarding the new game, Qing Zhiyuan is also starting to get anxious.

Whether to make money or not is secondary, the main thing is not to be vacant.

There are two Pokeni games to be released now, one is "Pokémon 3D World"

Now the bugs are almost convergent.

It is expected to be released by July this year.

The other is "Eternal Ashes" developed by a subsidiary in the United States, Qing Zhiyuan has read the report and actually experienced it, and it is indeed a good DND-type strategy turn-based meat pigeon game.

It's quite interesting, and the betting dog attribute is fully excavated, so that you can enjoy the feeling of infinite rise in dopamine.

A completely unstoppable dog gambling experience.

Qing Zhiyuan is very optimistic about this game, and also hopes that it can achieve good results in the United States, and the company will warm up for the eternal ashes in the next two months, hoping that this game can get off to a good start.

What about the projects under development?

It's a bit stretched.

Diablo 3 is in development, but due to the influence of hardware, it will definitely not be able to meet the expectations of Diablo 3 in Qing Zhiyuan's mind, so it can only be regarded as a 2.5 evolutionary version.

Fortunately, this series of games is very stable, and in continuous development, there is no major problem in doing it for two to three years.

Then there is the Pokémon series, after the "Pokémon 3D World" comes out, it will be able to take multiple branch lines in the future, and some project members will be separated to follow up the future Pokémon 3D products, and the other part of the project staff will continue to develop the sequel to the Pokémon body.

It's all traceable, it's planned.

As for the rest......

Not for the time being.

At first, I thought of developing a 3D shooter game for the computer without relying on 3D graphics cards, but now Frontier has also been shelved.

Qing Zhiyuan hopes that Xuyuan Xuan will get "The Witcher 2" out sooner.

But this guy seems to be a little lacking in inspiration lately.

I had to wait a little longer.

Asaeda Zhun over there......

Well......

Or make another galgame?

……

Thinking of this, Qing Zhiyuan called Ma Zhi Zhun to the office.

"President, is there anything going on?"

"Maeda, it's been a while since the last LL release ended, do you have any new games you'd like to make?"

"Huh? What ...... this," Asaeda scratched his head, "Recently, I've been studying game production, playing other competitors and reading books at the same time, but I always feel that it is too difficult to write works that surpass CL and LL. ”

Seriously, it's been a tough time.

Ma Zhijun fell into such a predicament of [Jiang Lang's talent].

As a scriptwriter, he must still want to write a new game story, but-

No matter how you try, it's easy to fall into the "family mentality" of CL and LL.

Or they always feel that they are not good enough to surpass their previous works.

With CL and LL Jewel in front, the pressure to develop new games was just too much.

This is not only the pressure that Ma Zhizhun puts on himself, but also the pressure that the players give him.

It is precisely because of the explosion of two masterpieces last year that players are looking forward to the next work of Jun Maeda, and it would be great if the combination of [Furuhara Tsubaki] + [Jun Asaeda] + [Hayao Miyazaki] could be continued.

Under such pressure, Ma Zhizhun this poor child will fall into the nightmare of [non-stop code words] at night.

When I woke up, I found that my brain was empty, which was even more terrifying.

It's not difficult to develop a masterpiece, but it's hard to develop a masterpiece all the time.

Especially with the expectations of players, it is really difficult to continue to surpass.

Ma Zhijun said that it was not that he didn't want to, but that he really couldn't do it!

……

It's hard.

Qing Zhiyuan frowned, saying that it was difficult for him to think about it.

Otherwise, how could you go downhill after CL in your previous life?

But the key club trilogy,Although the others haven't reached the god of CL,,It's also very good.。

Now only one CL is out.

"Go ahead." Qing Zhiyuan said, "You try to write first, and if there is a new idea, communicate with me in time, the game will continue to be developed." ”

I wonder if Asako can write "AIR" this time?

OTHERWISE, ANGEL BEATS CAN DO THE SAME.

In fact, in Qing Zhiyuan's opinion, AB's animation is not bad at all, and it has also created such a super popular three-no character as Lihua Juan, which successfully made coriander shine.

And the work itself has a certain depth and significance, and if it is adapted into a game, it will be more delicate and moving.

"Yes, okay president."

With the encouragement of the president, Asaeda seems to have a little motivation.

"By the way, President, I see that Wada and Miyazaki have been watching "Legend of the Sword Wind" recently, can you find any inspiration from it?"

Ma Zhijun asked curiously, "Otherwise, I will ...... too."

"Don't!"

Qing Zhiyuan hurriedly interrupted him, "You are not the same path as them, but don't be affected by the Legend of Sword Wind, it is enough to have a Wada, Maeda, your advantage is to be yourself." ”

Damn!

A Jun ...... of Maeda who draws inspiration from the legend of the sword wind

Qing Zhiyuan didn't dare to imagine it at all.

Do you think that the knife you issued is not ruthless enough?

The Legend of Sword Wind is only suitable for the kind of author who is a little black and dark, and even a little perverted, right?

Mazi, you still have to yearn for light and warmth.

"And I really need you and Wada to write games that have different feelings and experiences, do you understand?"

"Oh, I see."

Ma Zhi nodded.

But in this way, he is even more curious about "Legend of Sword Wind".

……
