I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 139 The masterpiece of the game industry and the arcade market!
The law and order in Tokyo is not necessarily better than that in Xiangjiang.

In the 70s, 80s, and even 90s, the public security in Hong Kong was really worrying.

Yang Ming didn't want anything to happen to the game talents like Tomohiro Xijiao who just came from Japan.

Yang Ming, Meris and others came out of Kairui Hotel.

The Caucasian general manager of Kai Rui Hotel personally sent Yang Ming to the Rolls Royce outside the door.

Chen Zhenhua drove Yang Ming back to the mid-level villa in Repulse Bay in a Rolls Royce.

. . .

"Peter, why did you come back so late? Have you had dinner yet?"

Just as Yang Ming got off the car, his mother Li Yufang, maids Azhu and Zhong Chuhong came out to greet him.

Compared with the past, Yang Ming came back tonight almost half an hour late.

"Mommy, I accompanied some talents from Dongyang to dinner at Kairui Hotel just now. We've already had dinner. You and Daddy should go eat first."

"I heard that your Empire Group building is going to be 700 meters high?"

The Empire Group held a press conference in the morning to announce the construction of the Empire Group Building at the original site of Murray Building.

In the afternoon, the news station of Asia Television has broadcast.

In addition, many evening papers in the afternoon also reported the news.

A 700-meter-tall building?
What is this concept.

Li Yufang, Yang Jirong and others were shocked when they saw it.

Now the highest in the world is only more than 400 meters, and the highest in Xiangjiang is only more than 200 meters.

"Yes, Mommy."

Li Yufang and Yang Jirong went to dinner first.

Yang Ming didn't need Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong to accompany him either.

Yang Ming went up to the study on the third floor.

After turning on his computer, he began to busy himself with his work.

When Azhu and Zhong Chuhong came up after dinner and took a bath for Young Master Yang, Azhu asked, "Master, how much does your company need to invest in building a 700-meter-high building?"

"A dozen or two billion Hong Kong dollars!"

more than one billion Hong Kong dollars?
What is this concept?
Back then, when Azhu and Zhong Chuhong saw the bag full of thousands of yuan bills, still worth 1 million yuan, they were shocked and speechless.

Yang Ming knew.

Prices in Xiangjiang vary from year to year.

If it had been built earlier, the investment scale of the Empire State Building would not have been so much.

On the contrary, the later the construction, the greater the investment.

Including labor costs, construction material costs, etc.

According to Yang Ming's plan, the 700-meter-high building will be completed in three years at the earliest, and five years at the earliest.

Wait until Yang Ming comes out of the shower.

In addition to recording global stock information.

Yang Ming was still busy in front of his computer until midnight.

Take a night off.

Early the next day.

After Yang Ming finished exercising, he ate breakfast with his parents.

Drive to Federal Building.

When Yang Ming went up to the 29th floor of the Imperial Group, Tomohiro Nishikaku and other Orientals had already left Kairui Hotel early and came to the headquarters of the Imperial Group for the first time.

Lin Xiuzhi arranged for them to wait for Yang Ming in the conference room.

"Boss, Mr. Xijiao and others came to the company an hour ago and are now in the meeting room."

"You take them downstairs to visit first."

The 28th floor downstairs is the headquarters of Empire Games.

When Lin Xiuzhi took Xijiao Youhong and the others downstairs, Yang Ming drank the cup of brewed coffee in the chairman's office.

After distributing the global stock information.

9:30am.

Yang Ming went downstairs in a wheelchair.

By the time Yang Ming, Merris, and Barlow came here, Tomohiro Xijiao and others had already been here for a long time.

Tomohiro Xijiao did not expect that in Xiangjiang Central District, where land is at a premium, Mr. Yang, the boss, actually rented this floor as the office of Empire Games.

What surprised them the most was that there are hundreds of IBM 5100 computers, each of which is a high-end version.

The price is nearly $[-] each.

Even in Taito Corporation, there are not many such high-end computers.

Tomohiro Nishikaku did not expect that these high-end IBM computers were all equipped for their staff.

In the Empire Games conference room.

Yang Ming, Meris, and Barlow sat in front.

More than 20 people including Tomohiro Nishikaku sat behind.

"This is Mr. Merris, the general manager of the Empire Group. Mr. Barlow, I think you are already familiar with him. Like Mr. Xu Qingsheng who is still in Dongyang, he is the deputy general manager of the Empire Games Company."

"Now I officially announce that Mr. Tomohiro Nishikaku will serve as the director of the Empire Game Design Department. The salary and benefits will be twice that of Taito Co., Ltd. As for other positions, Mr. Tomohiro Nishikaku will confirm."

Tomohiro Nishikaku really didn't expect that he would be announced as the director of the Imperial Game Design Department just after he came to Xiangjiang.

This can be regarded as No.1 under Yang Ming, Barlow and Xu Qingsheng.

"I am very optimistic about the "Space Invaders" developed by Tomohiro Nishikaku in Taito, and spent 12 billion yen to acquire the ownership from Taito at a high price."

Yang Ming spent a high price of 600 million US dollars to acquire the ownership of this game.

In Yang Ming's opinion, it was worth it.

Even $6000 million is worth it.

This game has not really perfected and reached the level of listing.

Next, Yang Ming and Tomohiro Nishikaku were in the chairman's office of the Empire Game Company, where Yang Ming and Tomohiro Nishikaku discussed for a long time.

Let Xijiao Youhong discover that Yang Ming's understanding of game consoles is no worse than him.

This "Space Invaders" that has not been officially released, he found that Yang Ming knew more than he did.

If the imperial group wants to imitate, it is really very easy.

"48 aliens, divided into 6 rows of 8, move horizontally across the screen. Once the invaders touch the side of the screen, the aliens drop down a row, bringing them closer to the player tank at the bottom of the screen .laser blaster to engage aliens, dodge their shots by moving from left to right, and eventually kill all aliens on screen. The more aliens you kill, the faster they fall Be quick. As each wave advances, the green barriers players used for cover eventually evaporate into nothingness, leaving you more vulnerable. After killing all the invaders, you move on to the next wave, and the game progresses as you progress It's getting more and more difficult."

This is how Space Invaders works.

In 1978, this kind of small game was actually similar to some small games played on mobile phones in the 21st century.

Right now, however, Space Invaders is the only one.

Tomohiro Nishikaku's powerful hardware capabilities are brought into full play in Space Invaders.

He uses the Intel 8080 microprocessor as the computing unit, uses a bitmap frame buffer to display raster graphics on a CRT display, and uses a monophonic sound analog circuit combined with a Texas Instruments SN76477 sound chip to play music and sound effects.

He also borrowed barrel shifter circuitry from Midway's Gun Fight to make the animation smoother.The barrel shifter circuit allows the 8080 CPU to shift pictures in the graphics framebuffer faster than it could with just its own native instructions.

While programming the game, Nishikado discovered that the processor was able to render each frame of the alien's animated graphics faster when there were fewer aliens on the screen.

Since the alien's position is automatically updated after each frame, the aliens will move across the screen faster and faster as more and more aliens will be destroyed.

He did not modify this setting, but thought that this could be used as a game mechanism. This is what he said at the beginning, replacing the traditional timer design with alien movement.

In history, this game is definitely a work of gods.

Once listed, it immediately shocked the global game industry and triggered the arrival of the golden age of the global arcade market.
