Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 20 Completing Game Development
After finishing the novel, Lin Baicheng called the factory security guard to come to his house the next day to move the big computer to the factory.

Lin Baicheng is going to continue to develop games in the factory, and at the same time learn about the current situation of the factory.

Factory director Liu Yihui reported the factory's current situation to Lin Baicheng. Although Lin Baicheng asked the factory not to seek authorization from game companies to do new arcade assembly, but because he bought the factory for a few days, it did not affect the operation of the factory. The old games continued. Assemble, sell and still make money.

However, because Lin Baicheng let the factory recruit nearly ten new employees, the factory's expenditure has greatly increased. If it continues like this, the factory will actually not make much money.

Regarding Lin Baicheng's arrangement, Liu Yihui's 30 implementation, asked for money from Lin Shufang to purchase [-] raw materials for assembling arcade machines.The raw materials for these [-] units alone cost nearly [-] Hong Kong dollars.

In other words, an arcade machine does not include the cost of developing games, artificial water and electricity, etc., and the cost of raw materials alone is nearly [-] Hong Kong dollars.

For arcade machines, the most important thing is the electronic base board, which is very similar to the motherboard of a personal computer, with CPU, ROM, RAM, video memory, input and output interfaces (I/O), etc. It's just an empty shell.

Thinking about the current price of a computer, you can guess that the cost of an arcade machine is not much lower.

More importantly, the electronic base version of an arcade machine can only load one game now, and there is no way to run more games.

Lin Baicheng's capital is only a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars left. He did not dare to buy too many raw materials, because there are many places where money needs to be spent.

In fact, the post-production of the game does not cost a lot of money. The most important thing is the application for the game copyright. He hired a lawyer to apply for copyright in countries around the world that have relevant laws, which requires a lot of money.Fortunately, the copyrights in many countries are universal, and there is no need for lawyers to go from country to country.

In addition, it may cost some money for promotion, especially for foreign promotion, whether it is shipping to foreign countries or employees going abroad, etc., it will cost money.

Therefore, it can be said that if the game he made this time is not successful, Lin Baicheng will suffer heavy losses, at least he will not have the funds to make new games in the short term.

Lin Baicheng finished listening to Liu Yihui's report.

"Lao Liu, the management of the factory by you did not disappoint me."

Lin Baicheng nodded in satisfaction. He has now recognized Liu Yihui's ability. As long as Liu Yihui makes no major mistakes in managing the factory, he will not change people.

"I will continue to work hard."

Liu Yihui immediately said that he knew that his position as factory director should be secure.

Lin Baicheng said: "From today onwards, you should stop taking orders. After completing the order in hand, make one hundred empty arcade machines first. My game is almost finished research and development, and the post-production will be finished soon." , we can sell our new game.”

"Okay, Mr. Lin."

Liu Yihui nodded in response.

Chatted with Liu Yihui again, and then Lin Baicheng and Liu Yihui left the office together, Liu Yihui was busy with other things, Lin Baicheng went to the security captain Wu Jianjun, and asked him to gather all the security guards, and he wanted to meet them all.

Although he hasn't come to the factory recently, Liu Yihui has screened the newly recruited security guards, so Lin Baicheng has general information about these people.

As expected, these security guards were all veterans, and they stood upright like pine trees, with high spirits.

Lin Baicheng got to know them one by one, first he affirmed their job, then described the future of their salary increase after the company made money, and then explained the importance of security work, let them protect the safety of employees and property in the factory, etc. .

Although Lin Baicheng has never been a boss or a leader before, he has never eaten pork but has seen pigs run away, so he still knows how to draw pancakes.And the big pie he drew is not a blank promise. When the game sells and makes money, he will definitely raise the salary of all the employees in the factory.

After meeting the security guard, Lin Baicheng went to the workshop again, greeted the employees, chatted a few words, and then returned to the office to continue developing the game.

In the next few days, Lin Baicheng will go to the factory every day. Apart from developing games, he will get acquainted with the employees of the factory and let them know his new boss.

Lin Baicheng didn't want to mingle with the employees, because there was no need for that, but at least he wanted the employees to know him as the boss, who paid them their wages, and who they were working for.

After a few days, Lin Baicheng devoted himself to developing the game, and he had already developed a lot before, so he developed the Xiangjiang Cube game on the computer.

After developing the game, Lin Baicheng let the management of the factory play it for a trial, and got all the praises. People like Liu Yihui also became confident in the company's future.

After that, Lin Baicheng went to the recording studio to dub the game's soundtrack and complete the final post-production.

Xiangjiang Cube didn’t need much soundtrack dubbing, so the post-production was completed on the same day.

After bringing the game back to the company, it was immediately copied to the electronic base board that had been prepared earlier, and then the electronic base board was loaded into the empty arcade machine to complete the production of the first arcade machine of Xiangjiang Cube.The empty arcade machine has been installed with a display, audio, remote control handle, etc., and it can be used immediately after the electronic base board is installed.

The arcade of the new game has just been completed, and of course it needs to be tested.Not only to test whether the game is fun, but also to test whether there are any bugs in the game, and if there are any, they must be corrected in time.

This time, the test object is not only the management, but also all the employees. Everyone has to share their thoughts after playing the game.

Fortunately, Lin Baicheng has specially adjusted the difficulty of the game. As long as you are not a master, you usually can't play for 10 minutes.There is no way, arcade machines are mainly sold to game hall owners. If one coin can be played for a long time, how can the owner make a lot of money.And if the owner of the game hall can't make a lot of money from arcade machines, he will definitely not buy a lot of arcade machines. How can Lin Baicheng make a lot of money.

After testing, the employees all said that the game is very fun, but they don't know whether they are speaking from their hearts or whether they are saying good things because the game was developed by the boss.

Lin Baicheng didn't care about these things, he would release the game no matter what the employees said anyway, and only when they brought up the bugs of the game would he write down and prepare to modify them.

Although the game is ready, it does not mean that it will be put into production and sold immediately. Lin Baicheng also needs to develop software for detecting coin insertion and encrypting the game code.Although the copyright has been applied for registration, this does not mean that there will be no piracy. Only by encrypting the game can we better protect our own interests.

With Lin Baicheng's computer skills, the encryption software he developed cannot be cracked by the computer skills of this era.For computer practitioners in this era, the technology gap of decades is actually no different from black technology.
