Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 334 Game Design

   Repulse Bay No. 4

   After coming out of Goddess Zhou's house, Yang Chen went straight back to his home. Once he came back, he didn't stop, and started to use a pen to design the games he had played in his head.

  As a well-deserved overlord among many games, Tetris absolutely abuses all video games.

   Even after the advent of mobile phones in later generations, Tetris still hangs all games and is very popular. It was not until the emergence of e-sports games that its influence slowly diminished.

  According to later records, Tetris will take three years to appear.

  Tetris is a game program compiled in June 1984 by Pajitnov, a mathematician working in the Computer Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, in his spare time.

   At that time, Tetris was simply used to test the performance of the computer.

   As a developer Pajitnov, because he likes to play jigsaw puzzles on weekdays, he got inspiration from jigsaw puzzles and designed Tetris.

   In 1985, he ported this program to a personal computer, and Tetris began to spread.

   In 1988, game player Rogers saw Tetris at an exhibition in Las Vegas, USA, and thought it was very fun, and found that everyone he asked also liked to play.

   As a Dutch-born, US-educated professional working in the video game industry in Japan, Rogers immediately sensed a huge opportunity.

  He set off for Moscow after reaching a verbal agreement with the Japanese game maker Nintendo.

   However, when Rogers arrived in Moscow, he learned that Pajitnov had licensed Tetris to the computer center where he worked, making it public property.

   So, the negotiating object Rogers faced became the representative of the computer center at that time.

  Although the negotiation process was somewhat tortuous, Rogers eventually obtained the license for Tetris on the console on behalf of Nintendo.

   Nintendo, which harvested Tetris, has since relied on this Russian game for any device and has made huge profits.

   At the same time, it has further consolidated its absolute leadership in the game industry.

The charm of the small cube is enduring. When the Russian side first released it, the sales volume reached more than 100 million copies, and it was loved by players in more than 50 countries and regions. There are versions in more than 50 languages, running in several on ten gaming platforms.

  From handhelds, arcades, personal computers to mobile phones, on later mobile platforms, Tetris has sold more than 500 million, more than the top ten global game sales combined.

   In the face of this golden cow, Yang Chen will naturally not let go of countless gold and silver mountains.

  100 million sales, even if a cassette only earns one dollar, it can reach one hundred million dollars.

   What's more, he also wanted to bundle Tetris on the handheld to drive handheld sales.

  Nowadays, the price of handheld consoles is about a hundred dollars. If Tetris can drive handheld console sales, then he will no longer have to worry about the lack of money to develop Australian land, nor the expansion of Carrefour.

   The copyright and other issues of Tetris in later generations have caused a lot of trouble.

   In this life, it was developed by him, so there would not be so many problems. He only needed to register patents in various countries after the game was developed.

   At six o'clock in the afternoon, the two girls, Xue Yufei and He Chaoqiong, got off work on time and returned home. With Yang Chen at home, the two of them didn't dare to work overtime.

  Otherwise, once the other party is upset, they can only be full-time wives at home.

  The two women returned home one after another, and saw Yang Chen writing in the study, so they didn't bother, they were bored and went to the kitchen to make dinner.

  The two girls usually only cook on Sundays when they are off. After a busy day at work, I naturally lost my mind.

   He was busy until dinner was ready, and Yang Chen didn't come out of the study.

  Xue Yufei blinked and said to He Chaoqiong, "Aqiong, go and call Chen."

  “…”

  He Chaoqiong's face turned black, his eyes rolled, and he gave the unkind Xue Yufei an angry look.

   I was cheated once, and I want her to be cheated a second time, don't even think about it.

   Seeing that He Chaoqiong was indifferent, Xue Yufei bared her teeth and had a headache.

   She is the most aware of Yang Chen's habits. Once the other party hides in the study and cannot come out, she must not go in to disturb him.

   Normally, Yang Chen would come out on time as soon as it was lunch time. If he didn’t come out, he was obviously busy with something and had forgotten the time.

   Just when Xue Yufei was about to go to the study, Li Xiaolian came in from outside.

   "Xiaolian, haven't you gone back yet?"

   Usually, as long as she and He Chaoqiong go home from get off work and have no plans to go out at night, Sister Xiaolian can go home at any time.

  Li Xiaolian looked around, but she couldn't find Yang Chen's figure, so she said, "Sister Yufei, where is the boss? My dad and Uncle Aiguo are here."

   Xue Yufei heard that Chen Aiguo was coming, and knew that the other party was looking for Yang Chen without asking.

   "He's in the study. I'll call him now. Let Uncle Chen and your dad come in."

   Under normal circumstances, the main building does not have permission, and men like bodyguards, except for people like Xiaolian, are basically unable to enter. Even soldiers and iron heads can only wait outside.

   Although the bodyguards at the gate knew Chen Aiguo and Li Xinghua, they were no longer Yang Chen's personal bodyguards.

   Even though everyone is under the control of Chen Aiguo in name, the only people who can actually command Yang Chen's bodyguards are Junzi and Tietou.

   One-level management and one-level management, completely militarized management, this was formulated by Chen Aiguo from the very beginning, even he himself was no exception.

At the gate, Chen Aiguo and Li Xinghua were smoking cigarettes and thinking about what Yang Chen had called them to come over. They didn't ask much on the phone before, but now they came here and asked Junzi and Tietou, but they didn't get anything. s answer.

   Even Junzi and Tietou didn't know, which made them feel strange.

  You have to know that Junzi and Tietou are with Yang Chen every day, there are not many things they don’t know.

   Unable to figure it out, Chen Aiguo looked at Li Xinghua who was beside him and asked, "Old Li, shouldn't it be a big deal about Aniu?"

   Li Xinghua smiled bitterly: "It's not a big problem, but the boss has already received the news about what he's making over there this time. I don't know what will happen next."

   This time, A Niu lost a lot because of a small thing, he didn't know what to say.

  Fortunately, nothing major happened, otherwise, the matter of ATV going inland would have really disturbed him alone.

   After this incident, he didn't know if he would have a bad impression of Anniu in Yang Chen's heart.

  If the impression on Yang Chen’s side is bad, the previous affection will probably be gone.

   After thinking about it, Li Xinghua decided to help Anniu with a good explanation when Yang Chen asked about it later.
