Game Development Giant

"Did you see the scene?"

Hearing what Jester said, Mark Saini, who was holding the coffee, frowned and frowned. As the person in charge of this e3, he was naturally very familiar with the e3 process. Yes, because these processes were discussed between him and Jester.

For example, there is a set process for holding a press conference, including the determination of the venue and the start time, etc.

Jester nodded.

“I want ten times, twenty times, or even a hundred times the number of players to see our launch event as soon as possible.”

Jester's eyes were shining as he spoke.

"Is this..."

Mark Saini pondered, thought for a while, and then shook his head, "Jace, there are venues that can accommodate many people. If you want to hold the press conference in these places, it is not difficult. However, that would be too far away from the e3 exhibition place..."

Being too far away from the e3 exhibition is not a good thing.

After all, those reporters, industry personnel, etc. all live close to the e3 exhibition, but you, Tangtang Mars Entertainment, place your press conference far away from the e3 exhibition. After all, it will To be criticized.

After hearing this, Jester also hesitated.

All he could do was sigh and say: "Then let's see and then talk. I'm just thinking about it."

As he spoke, Jester picked up the cup of coffee that Mark Saini had just poured for him. The white liquid in the coffee was under the sunlight coming from the window. It shows a deep yet shiny brown color like strong tea.

After Jester saw it, he was a little surprised that the color turned out to be so beautiful.

He shook the cup slightly, as the temperature slowly dropped and the smell dispersed. From the brown liquid of the coffee, something unexpected appeared.

Peanuts, walnuts, unknown red berries, cranberry prunes, soybeans, pot oil... all kinds of different smells. As the layers bloomed leisurely, Jester couldn't help but glance at Mark Saini, but he only saw a slightly proud smile on Mark Saini's face.

Then. Jester said nothing.

Instead, he took a sip directly.

As soon as you drink it, you will find pleasant sweetness and soft bitterness inside the translucent slightly sour taste. A variety of sweet flavors. The whole thing completely wraps up the taste buds.

This was the first time Jester knew.

Coffee can actually taste so good? This discovery made him extremely surprised.

He is a gourmet, and he knows a lot about Chinese and foreign ancient and modern cuisines. He can basically speak fluently about all the major schools, northern and southern dishes, and he has tasted most of them, even Japanese and Korean American dishes. He also knows a lot about tricks and banquets. He also ate it.

But I really lack some understanding about coffee.

"How about it."

Mark Saini obviously saw Jester's expression after he finished drinking, but he still asked proudly, and there was no doubt in his tone, instead using a statement tone.

"good."

Jester nodded heartily.

"By the way, let's not talk about work for now, let's drink this cup of yaka...forget it, I didn't remember the name, it's just coffee time, you can give me some knowledge in this area, I suddenly feel a little curious Yes." Jester said to Mark Saini with a smile.

And Mark Saini himself is a talker. When he heard Jester say this, he suddenly became interested.

Generally in the company, Jester is the one who delivers things to others. Even Mark Saini is a listener most of the time. He has indeed learned a lot from Jester. , for example, where Jester is pioneering Mars Entertainment.

The methodology he proposed has benefited him a lot, and it has simply given him a secret book on how to design an excellent game.

Therefore, after hearing Jester say this, Te's nature naturally increased.

"Actually, I don't know much, very little." At the beginning, Mark Saini was also modest, but Jester still shook his head indifferently, said it plainly, and expanded on it at that time. Seen it.

"Well."

Mark Saini nodded, "Actually, the coffee we talk about is generally divided into three categories. One is the most popular and more accepted. Coffee beans from all over the world are usually mixed and roasted, and they are roasted with specific ingredients. The machine holds a rich and strong style of espresso, and the second one is a balanced double-cup Americano, and I only like the third one.”

"Niche." Jester heard him say this and said this casually.

"It's considered a niche."

Maxine smiled indifferently.

“The third type is single-origin coffee, just like the cup of Yirgacheffe we ​​drink, which is coffee beans produced in Ethiopia. This type of coffee refers to coffee from a single country, production area, or even a specific estate. The coffee brewed from coffee beans has various subtle flavor changes depending on the grade, year, production method and roasting degree.”

Seeing Jester nodded thoughtfully.

Mark Saini smiled: "Actually, if you study coffee carefully, it is just like the tea or wine you like. It depends on the country, origin, year, terroir, climate, planting, production and roasting and brewing methods. Different, and even depending on the level of personal experience, the aroma, taste and taste have countless aspects."

“In the beginning, I loved espresso.”

As he spoke, Mark Saini showed a somewhat nostalgic look: "Especially in the morning, when I first fell in love and got tired of drinking milk tea, I would use a moka pot and milk frother to carefully brew a cup of cappuccino or It’s a latte. The richness of the coffee, the fragrance of the foamed milk, and the refreshing and satiating taste are quite nostalgic.”

"hehe."

Jester sneered when he heard Mark Saini say this: "I didn't expect you to have such a feminine side."

"hehe."

Mark Saini also laughed indifferently. He knew that this was Jester's joke. He did not deny it himself, and then continued: "But single-origin coffee is different. For me, Generally speaking, when drinking Italian coffee, my mood and attitude tend to be more leisurely. It has a good aroma and taste. Drink it slowly, and you will finish a large cup without realizing it.”

"However, this is not the case when drinking single-origin coffee. You often cannot help but be alert. Otherwise, it will be difficult to distinguish the subtle differences in various aspects of a cup of single-origin coffee."

After hearing what Mark Saini said, Jester also added something casually.

"Actually, it's what I used to call tough."

"right."

To this point, Mark Saini still has no objection: “If you have a chance, come to my house and I’ll let you try some of the coffees I have collected. In addition to the bright and colorful Yirgacheffe, there are also soft and refreshing coffees. Kona is a bright Hawaiian specialty, Kenya has a complex flavor, Mandheling is a strong flavor, and of course, the most famous ones are Blue Mountain, La Mineta and Antigua.”

"good."

After listening to what Mark Saini said, Jester finished the large glass in his hand and felt that he still had something to say.

But the previous coffee pot only had two cups of coffee, so Jester didn’t ask for more.

He stood up and moved a little: "By the way, Mark, you said before that coffee is related to the year? Could it be that this is the same as wine, the older the drink, the better it tastes?" Forgive me, Jess. Te laughed.

Mark Saini, on the other hand, thought seriously for a while before speaking.

"How to put it, I can only say that for coffee lovers, aged coffee has a very special charm. This charm cannot be explained at the moment. It is very mysterious and wonderful. It matures year after year. Its function can not only reduce the unpleasant earthy smell and acidity, but also transform the coffee beans to reveal some different flavors... It’s a bit metaphysical.”

"Let me tell you about an experience I had. Most of the best aged beans are rare. Green coffee beans with aging conditions need to be carefully aged in a temperature-controlled environment. I have sang about Chen Nianman for more than 20 years. Twining, the taste is very surprising to me. The melodious fruity aroma similar to peaches and plums is balanced by the sweet aroma of butter and almond, but after entering the mouth, it has a completely different taste—— It's calm, solid, rich and powerful, and it's followed by a long session. It's an unforgettable experience."

Jester nodded after listening.

"Thank you for letting me learn some knowledge, and thank you for the coffee that relaxed me and gave me a good idea..."

"An idea? What idea?"

This makes Mark Saini feel a little strange. How can Jester be enlightened like this?

"hehe."

Jester smiled faintly again: "That's what I told you before, about how to let more players see our press conference. In fact, there are some things that we have considered a bit complicated. Today's live broadcast technology It’s so advanced, why don’t we just broadcast it live?”

Hearing what Jester said, Mark Saini showed a hint of joy at first, and then quickly frowned.

"Live broadcast, but Jess, even if your relationship with ABC is not good, it is impossible for them to broadcast our press conference live. They have more important things to do. If they spend money, then in my opinion, the price If it is too high, the gain outweighs the loss, and for a small TV station, it is meaningless..."

But Jester still smiled indifferently.

"Mark, who told you that what I thought of was to be broadcast live on the TV station?" (To be continued...)
