Chapter 239 Developing Games
Bai Zirui not only asked Liu Weitao to develop and design the arcade version of the Great Wall Cube, but also to develop the Great Wall Cube for the handheld.Handheld game console (Handheld game console), referred to as handheld, also known as portable game console, portable game console or portable game console.

Refers to a portable small dedicated game console that can run video game software anytime, anywhere.At present, some mobile phones have added entertainment game elements, so that the boundary between mobile phones and handhelds is becoming more and more blurred.

Handheld games originated in 1976 with the Mattel Electronics Handheld Games series developed by Mattel Corporation of the United States.The first product on the market is called Mattel Auto Race, which is the ancestor of the handheld that first applied LED to video games.

Mattel handheld, like the later Game&Watch, is a non-expandable game console, and each host can only play one game; Mattel handheld The appearance, screen size, location, and operating devices of the game are all customized according to the games it loads, and they are not universal, nor are they like G& W can become the carrier of other games by manually replacing the chip and screen.

At that time, the handhelds had the characteristics of short process and fast rhythm, which provided players with entertainment in a short period of time, and were sought after by most players.With the changing times, many handheld game consoles have emerged on the market.

In 1980, Nintendo created the world's first LCD screen game handheld Game&Watch (4340 million sales).The introduction of the LCD screen makes the screen of this real game handheld become vivid.

In 1983, Nintendo launched an improved version of Game&watch.Since then, the combination of the cross key and the AB key has established the prototype of the handle of the video game console together with the Nintendo FC, and has become a well-deserved originator.

It was indeed the Game Boy era opened by Nintendo that really pushed the handheld to a historical highlight. In 1989, with a 2.45-inch display, it won nearly 1.2 million handheld sales with multiple first-party works such as "Pokemon", "Mario", "Zelda", etc., which attracted countless people. crazy!

With the success of the Game Boy, its improved versions GBP, GBL, and GBC also came into being. The appearance of GBC has allowed many players to enter the colorful world.

Handheld games generally have the characteristics of short process and fast rhythm.Since its purpose is to entertain people in a short period of time (such as waiting for a bus, waiting in line), it will not have a complicated plot like ordinary video games; The sound is not as good as the home game hardware of the same period.

With the development of the times, modern handhelds have made great progress in game plot, picture quality, music and other aspects, and have also brought a better game experience to the majority of players.

Nintendo launched the Game&Watch last year, which also has a cross key. When Bai Zirui bought the arcade factory, he asked lawyer He Yaodi to check the patent on the cross key. However, Yokoi Junping did not register a patent in this area, so he accepted it bluntly.

Bai Zirui asked lawyer He Yaodi to help register the world patents of the cross key and the AB key. The design of the cross key originated from the handheld, which can be said to be a historical necessity. For the sake of portability, it is a natural design to replace the knob with a button, and the cross key is obviously is the most suitable design.He thought that all the world's well-known game companies would use the cross key in the future, and pay him the patent fee, and he would wake up laughing just thinking about it.

Bai Zirui assigned the research and development tasks to Chen Weitao and asked Xu Zhihao to manage the daily affairs of the company. He then came to Central, because the renovation of the Pfister restaurant in Central was completed after 10 days.

On November 1981, 11, on Halloween, Bai Zirui stood in the renovated store in Central. It was a beauty in his heart. The store was decorated with reference to the decoration styles of several major international catering giants in later generations, and it felt a bit incompatible with the 1s style.

The simplicity and comfort give people a sense of grandeur, and the moving music played by the brand-new audio equipment is very quiet when listening to the soft music.

Xu Jingli asked: "Zi Rui, what are you doing these days? You don't even care about the decoration of the store?"

Bai Zirui smiled and said, "Sister Jingli, you will find out in a few days."

Bai Zirui was very pleased to see more than 100 employees neatly arranged in three rows, because today is Halloween, and all the staff are dressed in magic robes, neatly and uniformly dressed, and it was completed in two other stores with the old and the new training.

Not only are the waiters beautiful and eye-catching, they are all young girls who have more or less attended technical schools, and their English skills are very good.

Bai Zirui stood in front of the employees and said loudly: "Our new store in Central has started its trial operation today. This is the largest store of our First, representing the image of all our employees and the company. Our tenet is 'considerate service, Clean environment, provide customers with safe food with rich nutritional value'.

Pfister advocates team spirit and the enthusiastic participation of every employee, and is committed to providing employees with comprehensive training, welfare guarantees and development plans, so that the potential of each employee can be fully utilized.Pfister will always open the door to young people who are full of vigor and courage to challenge themselves. We sincerely look forward to your growing together with Pfister to create brilliance together! "

Bai Zirui's words of chicken soup for the soul, the employees who listened to them gave warm applause with surging hearts.Next, the director of the marketing department led the colleagues to start the new store opening activities.

First, the two dragon and tiger masters began to perform the lion dance. The lively scene with gongs and drums attracted countless tourists and office workers.Bai Zirui stood at the door in a suit and leather shoes, greeting all congratulatory partners or guests.

Lou Yuanshan brought Lou Tan's, Lou Xiaoe, He Xiao, his son, daughter-in-law and grandson's family, and Yang Xue brought his father Yang Tianci to congratulate.

Boss Zhao from the partner packaging factory, Boss Wu from the furniture store, etc., all sent flower baskets to congratulate the opening of the new store. The Causeway Bay branch and the Xiangjiang University branch gave congratulations with a 8% discount on the entire site.

Lou Yuanshan said with an amiable smile: "Zi Rui, you are really a dragon and a phoenix among people. He just came to Xiangjiang from the mainland and made such a career in just two months. He is really young and promising to push forward the waves behind the Yangtze River."

Bai Zirui said modestly: "Uncle is wonderful, thanks to the help of elder brother and sister-in-law, I can achieve this little achievement. Compared with uncle, it is the firefly competing with the bright moon, which is not worth mentioning. "

Yang Tianci heard Bai Zirui's conversation with Lou Yuanshan from the side, saw his humble and polite attitude when talking to his elders, and thought about Bai Zirui's character and ability that he had inquired from Chen Xueru, he was very satisfied with him.

He looked at his daughter's eyes full of admiration towards Bai Zirui, such a young talent was engaged early, and looked at Xu Jingli, who was smiling and smiling next to Bai Zirui, and she was as good as her daughter in appearance as Chen Xueru said , and good conduct, the baby girl just fell in love with a married man, and suddenly felt a little headache.

When Bai Zirui saw Yang Xue bringing a 40-year-old middle-aged man to congratulate him, he guessed that it was his father, Yang Tianci.Thinking of Yang Xue's undisguised affection for him, Xiao Jiujiu, who planned to enjoy the blessing of being equal to everyone in her heart, suddenly felt a little uneasy about his arrival.
