Monday, February 23.

It seemed as if there was an arcade game called "Xiangjiang Square" in the streets and alleys of Xiangjiang, which had a very distinct logo of the Kirin Game Company, which was the very mighty Kirin.

The Xiangjiang arcade games in 1981 were not that popular, but at least more than a hundred companies were doing them, and the games were all in the United States, the United States and Japan. There were not many types, and they were far less prosperous than they were in the future, but they were enough to attract young people who had no other fun in this era.

Now this is a very beautiful arcade with a distinct local flavor of Xiangjiang, which has attracted many young people who are getting up early.

Next to the "Xiangjiang Cube" arcade, there is a piece of paper pasted, explaining in detail how it plays.

A few young people who like to try something immediately invested in game coins and wanted to see what it was.

As a result, after playing like this, they immediately became addicted to it.

It was not just them, but a large group of people were surrounded by, watching nervously how these players arranged the blocks to fall.

"left!"

"No, right, right..."

"Quick, it's coming down again!"

"Change the position quickly, stand up, stand up!!"

"Oh, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

“…”

Usually, such a group of people are indiscriminately commanding, and the novices are easily distracted and they will be finished if they are distracted.

If you have a good temper, you can only shake your head and continue to invest in game coins.

The gangsters with bad tempers immediately became furious: "Grass! Get out of your mother! They all screamed! They made me lose!"

But the gangsters scolded him, but when they started fighting again, the people next to him gathered around him and still gave him random advice, which made the gangsters screamed in anger.

The people next to them actually felt itchy, but there were too few machines and they came too late. Whether it was a gangster or an ordinary young man, they would not let the machine take over. They had no choice but to play, so they could only go to the boss to protest.

At the beginning, there were only 600 game halls in the city, which was basically just three or five games halls.

This is due to the sake of Kirin Group, and it is free to use it within a week, so the game hall owners are willing to put it in their game hall.

But the bosses did not expect that "Xiangjiang Cube" was so popular. In the morning, a smart boss called Kirin Game Company and asked them to move five, eight and ten to their stores as soon as possible, and they paid when the arcade arrived.

So at noon, at least 10 "Xiangjiang Cube" arcades were set up in all the game halls in Xiangjiang, and the bosses made a rigid rule that each person could only play three coins at most, which calmed down the emotions of many game fans.

However, the atmosphere in the game hall was still very hot, even a little bit of gunpowder.

Originally, people who played other game consoles didn't care much about this new game, but seeing so many people surrounding them, the machine never stopped for a moment, and they became interested.

After walking over and taking a look, they would understand the gameplay of "Xiangjiang Cube".

At first they thought the game was simple, but as the players operated it, they gradually integrated into it, and gradually, like other bystanders, yelling and swearing.

"It's so bad, let me do it!"

"No, no, let me play another plate, please..."

"Brother is xx, who dares...ah...you can let me go..."

"Cao, come and see, this kid is fighting so well! It's so amazing!"

"Brother Xiong, you are so awesome. Would you please take a few sisters with me?"

"Grass! Don't talk nonsense. There is a kind of single-handed challenge. Choose the highest difficulty. It depends on who has played for a long time. Those who lose will call you uncle. Do you dare?"

“…”

The popularity of the game hall directly cleared the warehouse of Kirin Game Company, and sent out all 2,000 arcade machines that had been prepared.

Of course, the game developers did not stop.

They waited in various cafes in the city, waiting to repair the broken arcade machine at any time.

What made them laugh and cry was that most of the "Xiangjiang Square" that hurriedly asked them to repair was because too many game coins were entered in a short period of time, and they were piled up with troughs, so they could not play again.

There is only a small part of it. It is true that there is a problem with the electric board. After replacing the electric board, they noted the problem. They were preparing to return to the company in the evening and discuss it together.

Mass production is like this, there will always be one kind of shortcomings, which also gives these technicians the opportunity to continuously improve.

Xiangjiang is also a very small market. They just happen to use this market to continuously improve the program of "Xiangjiang Square" and try to make it durable as much as possible.

The development of "Hangjiang Square" was completed a week ago.

Then, the Japanese engineers who had experience in arcade development asked the game company's logistics staff to assemble various raw materials used in the Xiangjiang framework. On the other hand, Tomokazu Nakata took someone to go to Japan in person. They found a familiar manufacturer they had contacted in advance, and asked them to start the machine at a high price, producing 3,000 electric boards.

During the 18 hours of production, Tomokazu Nakata and his men did not leave the production line at all. Until all the production was completed and they counted all the electric plates, they packed and transported back to Xiangjiang.

After more than a month of product research and development and assembly, it is finally time to achieve results today, but everyone at Kirin Game Company has changed from distrust at the beginning to full of confidence now.

Only after playing "Hong Kong Cubes" can you know how attractive this simple little game is.

Until now, they still feel a little incredible that they can complete all R&D and assembly and sales tasks in just one month.

But this is how miracles happened. Everyone had to believe it and admire Yin Jun, the boss who created the miracle, who was the biggest hero!

It is definitely rare to have such game design talent even in Japan.

The boss’s name is indeed well-deserved!

And their employees will also be included in the history of world games with the game "Xiangjiang Square"!

This is a great honor!

...

Compared to them, Leyiling seemed more worried.

"I said, you don't recruit any of the talents in R&D, you don't have to recruit any of them, so you can let the Japanese team do it, what does it mean?" Le Yiling frowned and said, "If this continues, how can we control this game company?"

"Sister, I wasn't going to interfere in the game company at first." Yin Jun smiled, "This team, at the right time, will let them go back to Japan to develop. We should not be a company that strives to develop games. We should be a creative company that creates games, and then hand over the creativity to them to become a reality. To be honest, Japan is the most powerful in making games.

We just need to do what we are good at, and leave the rest of the research and development to them. After all, our core industry is still an entertainment media group! This game company is just an accompanying existence and can be used as a profit growth point and a derivative product development, but if you invest too much and pay attention, it is completely unnecessary."

Yin Jun cannot tell Le Yiling that games are very simple now, but its prime time period is just over ten years. After that, the game will start to compete for various soft and hard power. To put it bluntly, it is a competition to burn money. Many good game manufacturers have suffered serious losses due to competitions and finally went bankrupt.

When the game is in power, if it is the era of online gaming after 2000, it will be 20 years later. By that time, Kirin Group had already become deeply rooted in entertainment media, and it would not be too late to see the right time to enter.

"Will we increase our investment when they return to Japan and China?" Le Yiling asked.

"It should be done within three to five years." Yin Jun said, "After all, we have comics such as "Resident Evil" and "Tomb Raider" that are suitable for adaptation into games. I also have some very good small game ideas, which are similar to this "Hong Kong Cube". They have developed them in the past few years, which is a great addition to our career."

"Can you replenish the $2.5 billion you loan?" Le Yiling asked.

Yin Jun's face turned red, "Sister, how is this possible? Three or five billion US dollars should be no problem, but our most important profit is to rely on Transformers toys and making movies."

Also, taking advantage of the collapse of Xiangjiang's land market and real estate market, we hoarded a batch of land resources and waited until the price rebounded before selling it.

Even so, it should be within five years to pay off all the loans. If you are not lucky, it may take longer.

"You are also brave!" Le Yiling shook his head, "Forget it, the most important thing in the Lymwood side is not. We can just do it well in Hong Kong. If we really can't do it well, it will probably be fine if we lose hundreds of millions of dollars and throw it out."

"I bought the company not for the sake of losing money." Yin Jun smiled, "Sister, just wait and see! Starting from this "Xiangjiang Square", our speed of making money will soon be accelerated!"

Le Yiling has no doubt about this.

She watched people play "Xiangjiang Cube" two days ago. It was much more interesting than the current arcade games.

Xiangjiang is just a small place and cannot support the market for arcade games.

But Japan, Korea, the United States, and Europe are different, and it is a paradise for arcade games.

Any game can sell more than 10 million units. "Shangjiang Cube" has received unanimous praise and has been recognized by game fans today. It is not an exaggeration to sell 20 million copies, right?
