Rebirth 86: I use games to kick open the door to the world

Zuo Zhen took the elevator all the way to the 27th floor.

This is the game development department floor of NGS, and many core developers seem to be concentrated on this floor.

People here seem very busy, and occasionally developers in a hurry can be seen running in the corridors.

Following the instructions, Zuo Zhen came to Office No. 1 on the floor. There was an assistant in front of the office who briefly looked at Zuo Zhen's appointment information, and then dialed the internal phone number to contact Nakamura Akira. After getting Nakamura Akira's consent, the assistant Let Zuo Zhen enter the office on his own.

Entering the office, a man was writing something at his desk. He said without raising his head, "Please sit down for a moment. I still have some work to finish."

Zuo Zhen immediately nodded and said, "You go ahead and do your work, I'm not in a hurry."

In fact, Zuo Zhen was very anxious. His body originally came to Japan with another mission.

It took a lot of effort for him to specifically apply to go out alone. Later, he promised that he would only take up one morning and would go back immediately to complete his work in the afternoon. Seeing that it was already past ten o'clock, time was still quite tight.

A few minutes later, Akira Nakamura finally finished the work at hand, put the documents aside, and then began to look at the young man in front of him.

Zuo Zhen was also observing the other party.

Akira Nakamura is probably in his thirties, wearing a white shirt. He has a standard figure. He has obviously not yet gained weight. His eyes are also very sharp, and he seems to be able to see through everything.

"Mr. Zuo Zhen, right? I have a letter of recommendation from Senior Xueren. Is there any reason for your arrival?"

At this time, Akira Nakamura also began to think crazily in his mind about the purpose of the young man in front of him coming here.

The senior Xueren he just mentioned was Zhang Xueren, one of his former seniors in college.

Zhang Xueren is an international student from China. The relationship between the two is quite good. Later, Zhang Xueren returned to China after graduation and became a university professor. He joined NGS and worked hard to reach his current position, but the contact between the two parties has never been broken.

If it weren't for the recommendation letter from his senior, Akira Nakamura wouldn't just meet a boy with a crew cut. He is very busy.

The most likely possibility for this young man is to negotiate licensing sales, and then sell their video game products in China.

He is very interested in this. China is an untapped market now. Not long ago, a Japanese home appliance company made its first pot of gold in China, so maybe a gaming company like them can do the same.

"Hello Mr. Nakamura, I hope to develop games on your latest game console."

"Um?"

Zuozhen's answer surprised Nakamura Akira slightly.

Does China develop games? This is really a strange thing.

He had never seen anyone from China develop a game before, so he didn't know what this person's development experience was.

"Developing a game? You should be the first Chinese person I've seen come here to promote a game. I'm curious about what kind of game it will be."

As soon as Zuo Zhen heard this, he immediately took out a floppy disk that he had prepared a long time ago.

"There is a game I have developed here, but I don't know if Mr. Nakamura can try it out."

"Already done?" Akira Nakamura was slightly surprised. This young man had obviously been prepared.

Usually other game companies now like to draw the pie first, deceive the game licensing qualifications from him, and then develop the game.

There are really only a few people who can directly take out the developed products.

He took the floppy disk and it had a label with the English word "Contra" written on it.

Although Akira Nakamura is the game development director of a large game company, he doesn't actually understand English very well.

He looked up and asked: "Contra? What kind of game is this?"

"It is a side-scrolling shooting game that can be played by one person or two people."

double

"You mean two-player? Are you sure it's a two-player game? Is it like Bomberman?"

Zuo Zhen nodded: "It's similar, but you can only know the details by experiencing it."

"Are you sure? How did you solve the problem of signal communication between two people on the same screen?"

Two-player games on the same screen are a technical problem at the moment.

The games they developed themselves couldn't find a solution to the two-player game for the time being, but the young man in front of him said that he had solved it, which made him a little unbelievable.

As the director of the game development department, he knows the most about the many details of the game and the technical difficulties.

Especially since this person is from China, a country where it is almost unheard of to have game development experience.

Facing Nakamura Akira's question, Zuo Zhen nodded slightly and said, "Sorry, this is a technical secret. I'm sorry I can't be honest with you."

For Zuo Zhen, this is really not a problem. He comes from later generations and has many ways to solve this problem, but this does not mean that Zuo Zhen wants to tell the people in front of him.

Akira Nakamura looked at Zuo Zhen more seriously this time, but his disbelieving expression was still difficult to hide.

"If Mr. Nakamura doesn't believe it, I can demonstrate it to you. Wouldn't this solve all the problems?"

"Okay, let's take a look."

Akira Nakamura took Zuozhen directly out of the office, and then took a few turns to the core department of game development.

Before Zuo Zhen came here, outsiders were not allowed to enter. This is the secret place of NGS. Some games that are about to be developed and hardware that may be about to be released are concentrated here.

Zuo Zhen wanted to take a good look at the structure here before, but unfortunately reality did not allow it, but now Zuo Zhen can feast his eyes on it.

In the development department, Zuo Zhen noticed that there were almost two hundred people here, and everyone was staring intently at the computer screen in front of them.

Zuo Zhen looked at the concentration of these people and vaguely felt as if he had returned to his previous life. The employees in the company he had just established were so focused and enthusiastic.

Sooner or later, I will create a company of the same size in this world, or even higher!

"Mr. Zuo Zhen, come this way."

Zuo Zhen wanted to take another look, but Akira Nakamura obviously couldn't give Zuo Zhen such a chance. This was considered a confidential area of ​​the company, and it was already very difficult to let Zuo Zhen in.

Zuo Zhen reluctantly followed Nakamura Akira into a separate office. There were many electronic devices here. It was obviously an area for testing games or hardware performance.

"Mr. Zuo Zhen, wait a moment. I'll call our engineer over."

After bringing Zuo Zhen to the office, Nakamura Akira went out again, leaving Zuo Zhen alone in the office.

Zuo Zhen could take this opportunity to take a closer look at the electronic equipment in this office.

It's just a pity that these electronic devices are so outdated.

Of course, this is from the perspective of his previous life in the 21st century.

After experiencing the explosion of electronic technology in the 21st century, these electronic devices in front of us can only be described as antiques.

Here he even saw an oscilloscope placed in the corner.

This thing originally had nothing to do with video games, but the geeky spirit of early engineers was able to implement game functions on this thing, which is quite outrageous.

At the same time, Zuo Zhen also saw a lot of antiques in his eyes.

This made him suddenly lose interest, and then he sat back in his seat, without the previous excitement.

The gap between the times.

Not long after, Akira Nakamura walked in with a group of short people.
