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

The two of them chatted on the road about the development of Japan this year and some trivial matters in their respective lives.

This big brother is now in his forties, and he is at the age of hard work. The reason he came here this time is because he has learned a lot of Japanese in the factory in a year, and he is the only one suitable to come here.

The purpose of his visit was to find the company that purchased the production line in Japan and hire someone to repair the equipment.

Along the way, what this big brother said the most was cursing at the Japanese.

At first, their factory thought that the small Japanese equipment would be more useful. Although later, after their last wave of inspections, they thought they could look at the assembly line equipment of the German factory, but in the end they still used the Japanese assembly line for the people arranging the boards.

They are not familiar with German companies, and Japan is now in the honeymoon period between the two countries, and the exchanges between the two sides are more convenient.

Moreover, if any maintenance and warranty issues do arise, the close distance makes it easy to come and support.

However, Japanese equipment is really not resistant to use, and there are always some glitches.

They wanted to solve it themselves, but unfortunately the Japanese said they would not provide warranty service if they dismantled it, so they had no choice but to hire someone to come over.

After the warranty period is over, then give it a try yourself.

Zuo Zhen listened very patiently.

Just be a complete listener.

He actually doesn't know much about this era. He used to be a person living in the 21st century. Things in the 1980s were only heard from others. Now he has a different feeling after experiencing it himself.

It would also be interesting to hear more other people’s stories about the 1980s.

"By the way, little comrade, when will you go back?"

"Yeah, I should go back in two or three days."

"That's perfect. How about you leave your contact information? Maybe we can go back together then."

"OK."

Zuo Zhen left a hotel number in Japan that he could contact frequently. This was a hotel founded by NGS himself. Akira Nakamura specially invited him to stay here, saying it would be free.

Zuo Zhen would never waste the opportunity to have sex for free, so he simply chose there.

Arriving at the Shinkansen station, the two said goodbye to each other, and then Zuozhen went straight to the NGS headquarters in Kyoto.

Finally arriving at the NGS headquarters at around two o'clock in the afternoon, Zuo Zhen didn't waste any time and simply chose to finish the matter this afternoon.

The subsequent contract signing will definitely take a day or two to discuss, which will give NGS one night to think about it.

Arriving at the NGS headquarters, Zuo Zhen found that it seemed like a celebration had just been held here, and you could still see the garland ribbons in the lobby.

You can also see some things in the hall that were not taken off in time to celebrate the New Year.

"Zuo Zhen-san, welcome, happy New Year!"

As soon as he entered the NGS hall, Akira Nakamura walked over from the side as if he had been waiting for him for a long time, and was very enthusiastic towards Zuozhen.

He couldn't be more enthusiastic.

Zuo Zhen is now a developer with two million-selling games.

It is quite rare for a game developer to have two games in a row that can break one million.

Nakamura Akira naturally treats Zuozhen differently.

For other customers, he just fooled them casually.

But Zuo Zhen’s salary standards must be met.

"Happy New Year, it seems you haven't finished celebrating yet."

Zuo Zhen said jokingly.

"Haha, the company's profits have been pretty good recently, so the company held a larger celebration. It's a pity. If Zuo Zhensang had come earlier, he might still be able to celebrate with us."

"I also celebrated my people at home. If you ask me to come, I won't come. I must spend the New Year time with familiar people."

"That's right, let's go, let's go up and talk in detail."

"Walk."

Akira Nakamura put his arm around Zuozhen's shoulders very familiarly this time, appearing very close to him.

This is drawing closer to Zuo Zhen.

Zuo Zhen has helped him have more say in the company.

The president, Mr. Yamauchi, who had always been relatively indifferent to him before, has become more gentle.

According to discussions among people within the company, Akira Nakamura is likely to become the next top director.

But he still has a competitor, and that is Miyazaki.

It's hard to say who of the two will win in the end.

The senior management at Miyazaki has a very good relationship. He has made a lot of contributions and each has his or her own strengths.

And without Zuo Zhen, Akira Nakamura would not have been able to obtain so much credit.

Zuo Zhen is considered his nobleman.

On the elevator, the two people exchanged pleasantries, and then entered Akira Nakamura's office and got down to business.

"Zuo Zhen-san, this is a new year. According to the agreement, we have promised to arrange the production of Fire Emblem cassettes for you, and I have also obtained a very good production quota for you, 1.3 million. The card limit."

Nakamura Akira couldn't wait to tell Zuo Zhen the good news without much wording.

Then he looked at Zuo Zhen expectantly, wanting to see Zuo Zhen's reaction.

Zuo Zhen was also very excited after hearing this: "That's really good news. I just came here to tell you some good news. It should be good news for both of us."

"Oh? What kind of good news is it?"

Zuo Zhen took out several floppy disks directly from his bag.

"Oh, it's Fire Emblem, right?" Akira Nakamura said with a smile, "Is it a better optimization of the game? I'm kind of looking forward to how it will look after your optimization."

"No, it's not better optimization. Fire Emblem had basically no problems when I made it. If I want to improve it further, I guess I have to improve the performance of the NGS game console itself."

Akira Nakamura was a little embarrassed.

However, some developers have recently said that the performance of game consoles is not enough.

According to time, the game console has been on sale for three years. Technology has developed rapidly in recent years, and computer performance has reached 16-bit processing.

The memory of the most high-end computers has reached the MB level.

The memory of NGS is still a pitiful few KB in capacity, and there are quite few games that can be played.

Some developers have suggested that the game console should be upgraded.

But NGS is very calm. President Yamauchi and the game console developers believe that this game console will have a long life and there is no need to rush to develop games.

"If it's not an optimized Fire Emblem, then you..."

"These are two other new games. They are new works that I worked hard with the team in the second half of last year. One of them is the sequel to Squirrel War, and the other is a new game type. If you don't want to take a look, ?”

Akira Nakamura:? ? ?

What the hell is this game development speed?

The second half of the year is estimated to be four or five months.

Two more games?

Oh haha, it was Zuo Zhen who made it.

This speed is what it is, so don’t think it’s an exaggeration.

Before, Zuo Zhen almost finished Contra, Squirrel Wars and Mega Man by himself.

During this period, I also made a bunch of board and card games.

Compared with before, Zuo Zhen's current speed is no longer surprising.
