You ask Jester if he wants to invest in Samsung Electronics?

This is nonsense, a fool doesn't want to.

Of course he knew how great Samsung Electronics would be in the future. Yes, the adjective used by Jester is great, and being able to participate in shares now is definitely a huge deal.

But this is impossible.

Because a company can only give up shares in three situations. One is to start a company and need a lot of funds to further develop the company. The problem is that Samsung is not short of money. Second, it needs to open up new markets and may give up some shares to win-win with the market. The third is the most important customer of this company. In order to maintain this relationship, it is necessary to swap shares to gain the other party's right to speak.

And now Jester does not account for three items.

What? You said 10 million orders? This has not been officially signed yet, and even if it is signed, Lee Kun-hee is not optimistic about the future of the electronic game market that Jester mentioned. What's more, there is such a desolate scene in the US electronic game market for reference. It is really impossible for Lee Kun-hee or Samsung Electronics, whom he represents, to agree that Jester will become its long-term and stable customer.

Unless Jester can prove this.

In this case, if Jester rashly proposes to invest, it will only be rejected by Lee Kun-hee without hesitation.

So, although Jester was extremely coveting at Samsung Electronics, which was still a baby, he had to hide his thoughts for the time being.

But Jester felt that it was not far from realizing this idea himself.

At this time, an employee of the hardware R&D department quickly walked into Jester's office. He was holding a test sheet in his hand, and there was no expression on his face.

Seeing him come in, Jester didn't make any special statement, but Lee Kun-hee's face became obviously nervous.

After this short conversation, Lee Kun-hee also knew that the 10 million pieces that Jester said were not false, so he attached great importance to the contract. Although he knew that there would definitely be no problem with the quality of his memory films, he still inevitably showed a nervous expression.

After all, this is the first time that their semiconductor products produced by Samsung Electronics have entered the US market. For Lee Kun-hee, this is a battle that can only be successful and not be defeated.

"Boss, the test results are out. Although they are not as good as Fujitsu's same type number, they are almost the same and can be used." The employee's tone was very excited. He also knew that the company's products of this specification were much lower than those of Fujitsu's.

Hearing these words, Lee Kun-hee was obviously relieved.

Jester smiled, took the test order and glanced at it, then stood up and stretched out his hand to Lee Kun-hee.

“Happy cooperation.”

"Happy cooperation." Lee Kun-hee reached out and held it with Jester, with a clear relaxed smile on her face. For him, although the trip to the United States was not very smooth, he was finally lucky to have a fortune.

When it was lunch time, although some details of the contract had not been discussed clearly, it was necessary to eat. Originally, Jester wanted to entertain Lee Kun-hee and her party, but the Koreans obviously wanted to finalize the contract as soon as possible, so they politely declined and just asked Jester to give them the same fast food as Mars Entertainment. After dinner, they also had to continue negotiating the contract details and strive to negotiate the formal contract within one day.

Then, Lee Kun-hee also offered to say goodbye, and he also needed to discuss with his team.

Jester did not try to keep him either.

In game development companies, the food that developers are most likely to eat is fast food, and overtime is commonplace.

After Jester finished eating the pizza delivered from the fast food restaurant, he went to the R&D department a little bored. Because it was lunch time, most of the employees were eating the pizza given by the company, and some people went to the lounge opened on the first floor to play with game consoles.

At a table in the R&D department, the noisy sound of a group of people gathered together attracted Jester's attention.

He walked over and took a look with some curiosity, and found that his employees were playing this tabletop game with unknown names.

The game map is a rectangular coated paper covering most of the table, and it is well-printed.

Jester looked at the game map and seemed to have seen it somewhere. Just as he couldn't help but think about it, Sean Dabilli, the director of the "Original" development team, threw out two six-sided dices, and waited for the two dices to stop rotating. Two numbers six appeared on it at the same time. Then, Sean Dabilli pushed a finger-sized villain he represented along the grid on the map and advanced to the twelve grids.

A small house made of plastic has been placed next to this lattice.

At this time, a look of ugly appeared on Sean Dabilly's face. He reluctantly pulled out one from the stack of things in front of him that looked a certain kind of money and threw it to another young man with a happy face, wearing glasses and a pair of jeans.

Then, Sean Dabilli controlled his villain and continued to push forward the twelve grids. This time, there was no plastic house next to the grid like the one before.

This time, Sean Dabilly showed joy on his face. He took out a piece of paper similar to banknotes in front of him and placed it aside, and then placed a small plastic house of different colors from the previous one next to the grid.

Then, the young man with glasses took the two dice from the table, shook it in his hand, and threw it out casually.

Seeing this scene, Jester slapped his head, and then he remembered why he was so familiar with this tabletop game.

Because he has played the PC version of this desktop game.

To be precise, it is a game of this type made by a game company in Baodao itself, of course, it is not authorized.

This game is called Monopoly.

"It's good to make this game into a PC version, and it's not difficult to make it, and it can also be transplanted to a home machine in the future." Jester thought about it thoughtfully, and then he frowned and suddenly thought, "But whose hand is the version of this game now?"

"Monopoly" is a translation from Hong Kong and Taiwan. The original name of this game is "Monopoly". The official Chinese translation name is "Real Estate Tycoon". Monopoly originally meant monopoly, because "Real Estate Tycoon" is a game where only one winner is no matter how many people participate. The producers of this game originally wanted to use this game to satirize the sins of capitalism - winner-takes all, and the meaning of Monopoly monopoly also implies this.

But unexpectedly, this game quickly became popular after its release and became popular in the United States during the Great Depression in the 1930s.

Jester only remembers that the inventor of this game was called Charles Darrow. Later, he sold the copyright of this tabletop game to Parker Brothers, which was officially launched by Parker Brothers.

However, decades have passed, and Parker Brothers' company no longer exists. The copyright has been turned over several times, and I have long known who has entered the hands of it.

Back then, companies in Hong Kong and Taiwan could ignore copyright and copy "Real Estate Tycoon", but they definitely couldn't do it. If they dared to do this, someone would immediately jump out and sue them.

At this time, the game was over, and the final winner was Sean Dabilly, who became the final winner, and then he showed off the large stack of game notes in his hands to other players who were a little dejected.

"Shawn, which company did this game come from?" Jester took the opportunity to ask.

"Hasbro." Seeing his boss asking him this question, Sean Dabilly thought his boss was also interested in this tabletop war chess game. If he wanted to buy one, he began to talk endlessly, "I am a loyal player of Monopoly. I have been playing since I was seven years old. I tell you that this game is just to have fun with everyone. The more people, the better. Finally, there will be a group of people around you watching..."

In Hasbro's hands.

Hasbro is Hasbro, but now they don't have the Chinese name Hasbro.

Jace nodded, and did not comment on the rest of the nonsense that Sean Dabilly said, but instead smiled and said directly: "How about you tell me we made this game into a game? You can play it on the computer."

"Make a computer game?" Sean Dabilly was stunned when he heard it, and then a look of surprise appeared on his face. He couldn't wait to say, "This is simply the best news in the world!"

Then the others who had been watching with him before also cheered.

"This idea is awesome!" This was the idea of ​​almost everyone present.

Some people who were still eating pizza were also attracted by the cheers. After knowing the reason for the cheers, the R&D department once again heard louder cheers than the first time.

This also shows that "Monopoly" has an influence among Americans. It is indeed the most popular tabletop game in the United States, much more than DND's fans. After all, it has a history of more than half a century. The grandfathers of many people present even grew up playing this game.

Then Jester continued to ask, "Would you like to know Hasbro, can you discuss with them that we will take the copyright of this game?"

Sean Dabilly shook his head, but a thin employee raised his hand and said, "Boss, I have a friend who works in Hasbro, I can contact you."

"Okay, after we get the copyright of this game, we will establish a project." Jester said with a smile.

This also made the people present cheer again.

When Jester saw this scene, he just smiled and didn't say anything. He did play with the "Monopoly" he made.

Although he had thought before that he did not want to get involved in computer games too early, he had created a distribution company, and this distribution company could not survive by selling arcade substrates before his home computer was released, so it was necessary for Jester to make a high-quality and fun computer game to gain popularity.

Moreover, in fact, the release of PC games is not as profitable as Jester thought. He asked the investigative company to investigate the situation of these companies in Xueleshan. Although the market for PC games is not large, there are still sales figures of tens of millions a year.

In fact, what Jester didn't know was that Xueleshan, which specializes in PC games, had sales of nearly one billion US dollars in one year around 1990s.

Then he asked about the progress of several games being developed.

The first thirty levels of "Snowman Brothers" have been completed. After the level design is started, the speed of the Origin R&D team is getting faster and faster. Basically, the official version can be made within two months. Moreover, the twenty-five-level version of "Snowman Brothers" produced for the whole American game tour has been basically completed. It will definitely not be available at the Chicago trial, but there should be no problem launching it at the trial session in the next city.

As for "Dawn", there has not been a formal project yet, and there is not enough manpower, so there is no special production. However, there are still two artists who are making the setting pictures of this game based on Jester's settings.

Jester also looked carefully and was quite satisfied with the production of the setting picture.

The author of the plot novel of "Dawn" also found a candidate. He was a second-rate writer who had published several not-so-selling science fiction books. After hearing that Mars Entertainment could pay $100,000 for this book, he agreed without saying a word.

Although he knew that he could only get one percent of the royalties from this book.

Jester was also very satisfied with this. He did not have high requirements for the quality of this book. He just needed to write according to the story and the outline of the game plot. Without deviating from the plot, the author was allowed to perform a little freely. Anyway, he just wanted to improve his own worldview.

The official versions of the three games "Gem Maze" have been basically done, and the DEBUG process is also very smooth. After the signing of Sega is over, the game can be sent directly to Japan for official production. With the designers liberated from the post-processing of these three games, "Dawn" can also establish projects and carry out some preliminary design work.

At this moment, Cao Kairui walked towards Jester with a piece of drawing paper.

"BOSS, look at the image you asked me to design before. I thought about it for more than a week. With this plan, you can see if the symbols fit the kind of image you said, which makes people feel kind and as easy to remember as marks." Cao Kairui walked to Jester and handed the drawing paper in his hand to Jester.

"oh?"

Jester looked at Cao Kairui with some surprise. He didn't expect that the other party would actually come up with the design plan, so he reached out to take the drawing paper and quickly looked down.

Then, a look of surprise appeared on Jester's face in an instant.

Obviously, he was very satisfied with the image designed by Cao Kairui.
Chapter completed!
