Jester's idea to make an Act game was also a sudden one, but if he wanted to perfectly express the characteristics of the Act game, he still had to wait until the advent of the 3D era and the advent of Dreambox 3.

The days after that passed quickly.

Even when he went to a country where his name was scrutinized, Jester didn't encounter anything special.

It was nothing more than a few more social events and a promise to continue investing. Of course, Jester promised an investment of several million dollars on the spot. In fact, it was just a small amount of money, even if his grandfather and his sister-in-law were with him. Domestic companies have made a lot of money with the support of central government policies in recent years.

Jester's sister-in-law followed his advice a few years ago and spent a lot of money to recruit Ni Guangnan, who is still unknown, from the research institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences to conduct research and development of program-controlled switches.

Now it has begun to bear fruit. Jester heard from his sister-in-law that the finished product will be ready within two years.

Although this huge investment project has not yet reaped benefits, Ni Guangnan is after all a master of both hardware and software R\u0026D. Although domestic software currently has little development value, Ni Guangnan is most famous for his Hanka system.

When Jester's sister-in-law hired Ni Guangnan to work for her, in Jester's memory, he had not yet completed the development of the Lenovo Hanka that made Lenovo take off in the early stages.

After joining Jester's sister-in-law's company, especially after Jester's sister-in-law agreed to his research and development plan for a program-controlled switch with unlimited R\u0026D funds, Ni Guangnan took the lead in developing his Hanka. It was his first surprise for the new company.

In recent years, sister-in-law Jester’s company. They have made a lot of money from Ni's Hanka, basically occupying 80% of the domestic Hanka market.

Naturally, the small company under the Chinese Academy of Sciences that lost Ni Guangnan and Lenovo Hanka could not develop as fast as it had in history, and could not make the first pot of gold in the Hanka market, so they were able to develop in Zhongguan- He started out as a second-rate computer dealer in his village. Until now, he has only been a little-known small company for a year.

Jester did not continue to pay any attention to his sister-in-law. Although he had 40% of the shares in his sister-in-law's company, he just told his sister-in-law to devote all his experience to program-controlled switches. That's it. In the future, the focus of research and development will be on telecommunications-related directions.

This will make a lot of money in the future.

In addition, Jester holds 50% of the shares. The national chain of supermarkets and hotels he built with his grandfather has also been doing very well in recent years. His grandfather was a tycoon in the hotel chain industry when he was in the United States. Doing it in China is naturally familiar.

And because of the national conditions, Jester's grandfather listened to Jester's opinion and did not expand the business mindlessly, such as the hotel business. It's just limited to the four most developed cities: Imperial City, Demon City, Demon City, and Female City. and

Supermarkets are only promoted to provincial capital cities, and they are also provincial capital cities with relatively good economies.

Therefore, I have made a lot of money in the past few years.

Those millions of dollars promised to invest. He can just use the investment from his two relatives in China.

But what the other party values ​​​​is the word "dollars" worth millions of dollars. As for the renminbi, they don't put it in their eyes. For them, US dollars and foreign exchange are more important than anything else, but for Jester, this is not a particularly troublesome matter.

Originally, Jester wanted to go to Shanghai to see the industrial park where he had merged with Hon Hai. He had even made an agreement with Guo before, but sometimes, things are always unsatisfactory* *.

Just when Jester was still a few days away from his plan to go to the Magic City, Claudia who came with him finally fell ill due to acclimatization. It was nothing serious, but she was relatively weak. In this case, Jester couldn't go to Magic City anymore, so he had to call Mr. Guo again and explain the situation, and Mr. Guo also said that there was no problem.

This matter has also been settled.

Because of Claudia's illness, Jester's interest was greatly reduced. It was the coldest winter on the plane, so he didn't want to go out for fun. So after attending the Spring Festival party, Jester went with Claudia chose a more suitable day and returned to the United States.

After all, in the first half of this year, Jester is still busy with getting married, and at the same time, he has to make the roguelike game he planned - "Runestone Guardian", and even complete the development plan for the next RTS. , because he has announced before that he will produce an RTS game every year in the next three years.

When I returned to the United States, the most excited people were Mike Mowaimi and Rob Pardo.

Because Jester had promised these two people before to join his game development team to develop a small game called "Runestone Guardian", which was a very interesting game.

And these two people, during this period of internship, thought about this day day and night.

So, when they learned that Jester had returned to the United States, they even went out for a big meal to celebrate.

And Jester did not disappoint them.

He spent three days in Jester, processing the documents he had accumulated over the past two months that he had to review, and then slept for a whole day to refresh himself.

On the fifth day after his return, he returned to work.

Claudia did not return to the UK, but stayed in the United States directly. She planned to go to the UK after a while. After handing over the affairs of the European branch, she would prepare to get married and live in the United States.

In Jester's office.

Early in the morning, Mike Mowaimi and Rob Pardo were called to the big boss's office.

Jester's office is indeed large, but it is not very luxurious.

In the eyes of Mike Mowaimi and Rob Pardo, even this office is a bit shabby compared to Jester's status at this time. For example, the desk was when the company was founded. Cheap items purchased at the time. Those folders were worn and tattered on the outside.

When they arrived, there was no one in the office.

And they knew that this was the big boss's office, so the two of them didn't dare to mess around. They just sat on the slightly old sofa and waited quietly.

In the meantime, Jester's beautiful secretary brought two cups of coffee to the two of them.

Mike Mowaimi and Rob Pardo were familiar with each other before. Although Mike Mowaimi came to the company a few months earlier than Rob Pardo, Jester still asked them to join the company. The purpose of working in a development team is to enhance their tacit understanding.

Rumors that the two of them had been promised by Jester to develop a game together have been buzzing around the world in recent months.

Although these are all rumors within the company. For example, the news that someone won five million today, or that someone resigned the day before yesterday because he inherited the property of a billionaire who had no heirs, are all nonsense in the eyes of many people.

Even in their eyes, they are just two newcomers who have just joined the company. How can such people follow the big boss to make games.

In the past, every time the big boss wanted to make a game, he selected people from within the company. Which time did he not select the most elite members? Are those two newcomers elite? Elites who don’t even understand basic game development concepts? Wash and sleep!

Of course, there is a lot of disdain.

But while they are dismissive of things, they are also deliberately ignoring a possibility. So what if it's true?

When Jester returned to the company this morning, the first thing he did was to call Mike Mowaimi and Rob Pardo directly to the office. There were many people there. I knew that maybe the previous rumors about these two people were true.

Then, they looked into the eyes of these two people. He couldn't help but have a look of envy and jealousy.

There's nothing wrong with that, you know, it's an opportunity to learn next to Jester.

It’s almost anyone working in the video game industry. Especially those practitioners at the grassroots level are most eager to get the opportunity. You know, there are countless big names in the industry. After entering the game production industry, it was because they were able to be by Jester's side and receive Jester's guidance in person. Opportunity.

Only then did he become an important figure in the industry.

Sitting in Jester's office, Mike Mowaimi and Rob Pardo might be a little reserved because they were in the boss's office. Therefore, although the relationship between these two people is not considered normal, , and they are both very talkative people, but after sitting on the sofa for more than half an hour and drinking twice the amount of coffee sent by Jester's beautiful secretary, the two of them did not exchange a few words.

They were all quietly waiting for Jester's arrival.

Almost forty minutes after the two of them arrived in this office, there was a rush of footsteps outside the office.

The sound of these footsteps was much duller than the sound of the beautiful secretary's high heels. After hearing this sound, Mike Mowaimi and Rob Pardo looked at each other, with a hint of excitement on their faces. Look, because Jester's office is alone on the first floor.

On this floor, apart from Jester's office, there is only Mark Saini's office.

However, Maxeni's office is on the other side of the building, so the person who came here at this time is not the beautiful secretary who brought them coffee before. The most likely person is Jester himself. (A great pie-in-the-sky event, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
