Game Development Giant

After sending these three people away, Jester read a cartoon script just sent by Illusion Studio.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" has become increasingly popular in the past few months, and even the sales of the latest issue are higher than the sales of several Marvel comic series that have been best-selling for many years. Therefore, Jester had promised to invest in the filming of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". The matter of turtle animation was revealed again by the two authors of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" from Illusion Studio.

After looking through the script sent by Illusion Studio, Jester thought silently.

There was nothing wrong with the script, it was exactly the same as the world-famous cartoon he had seen in his previous life, but what he was thinking about now was not whether to film it, but whether to start filming so early.

It's not a matter of money, he really isn't short of money now.

After thinking about it, Jester decided to start production immediately. After all, the production of cartoons also takes a lot of time. After it is completed, it also takes time to find a TV station to broadcast it. It also takes time to make the game by yourself. Waiting for "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" By the time it was almost well-known across the country, its own games were almost ready. At that time, its own console was also released, and it was just in time to lend out the games.

But that’s for next year.

Then Jester began to consider another plan. In fact, he had been considering this plan for a long time, but he had not yet decided whether to actually implement it. After all, this was a project involving tens of millions of dollars. M\u0026A plans.

Jester has long been familiar with the DND rules that were born in 1974, and he is also salivating over them.

And Jester knows that the world's earliest electronic RPG game was actually created by DND players on the PC to facilitate their own group running. This world's earliest commercial role-playing game, and its rules, will be The future will affect countless games, whether it is the fantasy theme "Diablo", "Eternal Mission", "Icewind Dale", the science fiction theme "Fallout", "Deus Ex", "Chaos Online" or others such as "Foreign Requiem", "Vampire: The Masquerade", etc. were all born under the influence of DND rules. It can even be said bluntly that the shadow of DND can be found in almost all European and American RPGs in the future.

But it is not easy to get their copyrights. The copyright of dnd is now in the hands of tsr company, and dnd's tabletop games are very popular now, with annual sales of millions of dollars, and this company The company relies entirely on the dnd copyright to survive. If you want to buy the dnd copyright that Jester dreams of from them, it may cost a very huge price.

Of course, Jester, who knows the future value of dnd, believes that it is worth spending no matter how much it costs to win it. What's more, the so-called huge price now is only tens of millions of dollars at most.

Compared with its true potential value, it is really a drop in the bucket.

Jester didn’t have enough money at the beginning. After all, he wanted to carry out his industrial layout. He needed distribution channels, he needed high-performance display chips, he needed to make a lot of games to gain popularity, etc., so at that time Money needs to be used where it is most needed. Now that his company has enough remaining funds, Jester has come up with the idea of ​​purchasing the dnd copyright.

After thinking about it, Jester still couldn't resist the temptation given to him by dnd. After drinking his third cup of coffee, he decided to buy the copyright of dnd.

However, acquiring the copyright of dnd is not much different from directly acquiring tsr. This is basically a company merger and acquisition plan.

But he doesn't need to negotiate this matter himself. There are many professional organizations in the United States that specialize in helping with acquisition negotiations. He just needs to pay for it himself.

And I am indeed not good at this aspect.

As for another world view structure "Warhammer" that can be compared with the DND rules, this is what Jester will go to the UK to do in the future. Although the current Game Workshop has not yet released the Warhammer rule book, the designer who designed the Warhammer rules has There, Jester was preparing to go to the UK after returning from the mainland. In addition to setting up a European branch, he was also preparing to poach employees.

Jester checked the progress of several development teams. Overall, he was quite satisfied. All game development plans were proceeding in an orderly manner.

In addition, several new pet machines from the handheld R\u0026D department are constantly being designed and can be sent to Japan for production immediately. The successful sale of Pokemon pet machines in Japan has also strengthened Jester's confidence and is preparing to launch one in the near future. Officially released in the United States.

The launch ceremony was scheduled for the next player trial meeting in New York, but I was not in the United States at that time, so Carly could only be in charge.

After writing down a few pieces of paper about the company's plans for the next half month, and handing them over to Mark Saini, Jester was ready to rush to Los Angeles. The special plane dispatched by the domestic Civil Aviation Administration was scheduled for today. It will take off at nine o'clock in the evening and arrive in Beijing at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Jester was originally going to leave this morning, but because there are too many things in the company, it has been postponed until now.

The scale of the entire mainland investment group is not large, with less than a hundred people in total, and more than half of them are accompanying family members. For example, in addition to Jester's grandfather going there himself, his sister-in-law will also accompany him.

When he arrived in Los Angeles, Jester didn't book a hotel and went directly to his uncle's residence. His grandfather and his sister-in-law were also here.

Jester chatted casually with his grandfather for a while and was urged to go to bed by his grandfather. After all, he had to fly for more than ten hours at night. After arriving, he had to attend a welcome banquet organized by the mainland. Moreover, the long flight was difficult for many people. It’s still extremely exhausting, so getting enough sleep is extremely important.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Jester, his grandfather, and the entire investment group gathered and rushed to Los Angeles International Airport, also known as lax airport. The plane prepared by the Continental Aviation Administration was parked on the fourth apron.

Jester was surprised when he saw the plane with Air China written on the fuselage. He did not expect that domestic civil aviation at this time would be equipped with the Boeing 747-200, which is considered advanced in the world's civil aviation industry. Jester was familiar with this model of aircraft because he had read an article. The VC-25A belonging to the United States, which is the famous Air Force One special plane, was modified from the Boeing 747-200.

After being introduced by an official from the Civil Aviation Administration sent by the mainland, Jester found out that this Boeing 747-200 was purchased by Deputy Director Hu Yizhou in person from the United States last year. Boeing had just delivered it a few months ago. This time, I heard that there was a large-scale Chinese investment group returning to China, and the senior leaders personally instructed that they must be received with the highest standards, so the Civil Aviation Administration of China sent their favorite this time, which is this Boeing 747-200.

However, when talking about Deputy Director Hu Yizhou who purchased the Boeing 747, the Civil Aviation Administration official was a little dismissive and directly called him a prodigal.

Jester had just woken up and had a little excess energy. He was a little curious. After asking carefully, he found out that although this official worked at the Civil Aviation Administration, he belonged to the Ministry of Economic and Trade. The Ministry of Economic and Trade used to purchase goods from the Civil Aviation Administration. The proposal for the aircraft was to purchase the Soviet Il-62, but this plan was rejected by Hu Yizhou. He, a member of the Ministry of Economic and Trade, was also pushed to the edge by the powerful Hu Yizhou.

In fact, Jester felt that the deputy director named Hu Yizhou was quite discerning. He had nothing to do, so he explained to the accompanying Civil Aviation Administration official: "Actually, the IL-62 has high fuel consumption, small load capacity, and short range. "International routes from Beijing and Beijing can only fly to Japan and the Soviet Union, and there is a problem with the air conditioner. When the air conditioner is turned on, there is a lot of water mist on the plane, sometimes like rain."

Unexpectedly, this civil aviation official was also knowledgeable. Hearing what Jester said, he also became interested. While listening to Jester, he kept nodding. When Jester finished speaking, he sighed and said : "Who in our industry doesn't know this, but the problem is that the Il-62 is cheap. Do you know how many Il-82s you can buy with a Boeing 747?"

Seeing Jester shaking his head, the Civil Aviation Administration official stretched out four fingers and shook his head: "Four!"

This price gap also made Jester secretly stunned.

However, before the Civil Aviation Administration official finished speaking, he seemed to be interested and continued: "Actually, there is another joke about the IL-62 in our bureau, and it is about Premier Zhou."

Jester was immediately in awe when he heard Premier Zhou's name. This was one of the people he admired most.

The Civil Aviation Administration official continued with a smile: "Once the Prime Minister was flying, one of his guards suddenly saw smoke coming from the plane, and he was frightened and thought it was on fire. The guard rushed to the cockpit anxiously. Run, shouting "fire" while running, "fire". Only after the captain at the time checked it in person did he know that it was not a fire, but an old problem of the IL-62, which causes problems as soon as the air conditioner is turned on."

Jester also laughed after hearing this anecdote.

However, after the Civil Aviation Administration official finished speaking, he sighed again and became a little gloomy: "If you want to say that American aircraft are indeed good, they are Boeing and McDonnell Douglas. But they are expensive. This is not That prodigal Director Hu is planning to add new aircraft again next year. This time he doesn't even like the Boeing 747. He directly plans to introduce Boeing 757, Boeing 767, Airbus A310, A320, McDonnell Douglas 82, etc., don't you think so? I know, I agree with the above in principle. After all, international flights represent the face of our country, but our country has little foreign exchange. After the Ministry of Economic and Trade knew the purchase list of this prodigal director, and saw the final price, it made my heart bleed. ah."

"Agreed?" Jester was a little confused. It stands to reason that the current continent is not so wealthy.

"Agreed." The Civil Aviation Administration official nodded, but he immediately showed a smile, "No, I agree, but it's impossible to give him that much money. If you want to complete the list, just It’s up to our prodigal Director Hu to figure out his own solution.”

Jester smacked his tongue after hearing this. This was hundreds of millions of dollars, and it was not thirty years later. How could the current director of a small mainland civil aviation administration have such great energy.

As he spoke, a burst of announcements in Mandarin and English sounded, and Jester knew that the plane was about to take off.
