Chapter 110 Zhang Lexing's New Game
Because of the troubles at night, Zhang Lexing woke up late in the morning, and it was already nine o'clock when he finished washing and was going downstairs to have breakfast. It seems that he must be late today, and I don't know if the company will be there. What a strange idea.As always, Ma Guanghai packed up early and waited there. When Zhang Lexing went downstairs to have breakfast, he followed him downstairs without making a sound.

I came to a restaurant near the community that serves breakfast. At this time, there were not as many people eating breakfast as early in the morning.Zhang Lexing and Ma Guanghai found an empty seat and sat down, ordered a few hanging stove pancakes, cut a large bowl of sauced beef, and one of them brought a bowl of chaos.Zhang Lexing picked up a sesame seed cake, peeled off the skin and stuffed a few pieces of sauced beef inside, then held it with both hands, and bit down like eating a KFC hamburger, then scooped up a wonton with the soup spoon and served it with the soup. In the mouth, the taste is really beautiful.

"Brother Guanghai, are you still used to staying in the company for so long?"

"It's still a habit, but it was a bit too leisurely a while ago. Boss, I originally agreed on a salary of [-] per month. I have already paid in advance for five months. Why did I still have [-] a few months ago, but now it has reached [-]?" Second, did the company make a mistake?" Ma Guanghai asked a little uneasy.

"One thousand and two is the salary of the bodyguard, and that one thousand is the salary of the full-time driver. There is no mistake." Zhang Lexing waved his hand and stuffed another wonton into his mouth.

"Boss, I don't have many things to do in normal times, and I don't even work as a driver a few times. I feel worthy of it."

"Brother Guanghai, there should be many veterans like you."

"That's true. There were many people who came down from the army back then. In fact, once people like us were demobilized and changed jobs, it was not easy for people like us to integrate into local life. After all, in the army, we are used to being on the verge of life and death every day. Boss, you Why do you think of asking this?" Ma Guanghai asked with a puzzled expression.

"It's like this. The company will grow bigger and bigger in the future. At that time, it will definitely need its own security force. How about Brother Guanghai, please help me keep an eye on it and see if there are any reliable people."

"Okay boss, I will definitely complete the task."

……

After breakfast, the two returned to the parking lot of the community. After Zhang Lexing sat down in the car, Ma Guanghai started the car and drove towards the creative workshop. Unexpectedly, he got out late and caught up with a traffic jam. It's already past 10:30 when we drove downstairs to the creative workshop. It seems that we don't want to accomplish anything this morning.

Taking the elevator to the 8th floor, Zhang Lexing saw Lu Qiuya at the front desk again. Perhaps because of yesterday's enlightenment, she seemed to be in a much better mood today.Walking through the hallway into the office area, Zhang Lexing planned to go to the administration department to find out about the situation with Chu Jing. He wanted to go there yesterday, but when he got to the conference room, he was too busy to get off work, so he didn't care about it.Walking along the aisle, Zhang Lexing noticed that there were no people looking out from both sides. As soon as he saw him, he immediately showed a relieved expression, and he didn't know what he was doing.

When he came to the administrative department, Zhang Lexing found that Chu Jing was reading documents there, and Xu Qian and Yuan Jia were also busy there.As soon as Zhang Lexing appeared, the three of them showed expressions of relief at the same time, which made Zhang Lexing feel a little nervous.

Coming to Chu Jing's desk, Zhang Lexing couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you, why do you feel weird today."

Chu Jing put down the document in her hand and said, "It's not your fault."

"Me? Why?" Zhang Lexing felt incredible.

"Who told you to tell half of the story yesterday, and you came so late today, which made everyone feel uneasy."

Only this time did Zhang Lexing understand that it was the incident yesterday that caused the daring. It seems that if the story is not finished today, there will be no peace.

While thinking about it, Chu Jing leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Le Xing, did Yue Ru really die that day?"

"Sister, please forgive me, I will tell you the following content." Zhang Lexing felt a little overwhelmed, it seems that this story can't be told casually in the future.

……

After finally calming down the emotions of the audience, after lunch, Zhang Lexing was finally able to think about how to do his game.

Before officially starting to make the game, you need to choose a good platform for the game to run on. If the level is too high, the number of people who can play it will be much less, and the sales will naturally not increase. If the level is too low, then there will be limitations in the production process. It will be very large, and it is easy to limit the performance of the game, and sometimes even have to cut off some creativity due to computer performance problems, so this is a problem that needs to be well balanced.

It is not popular these days to use the Internet to search for information. The most convenient way is to read newspapers and magazines. Fortunately, Chu Jing is very good at handling things, and she does not need to be ordered by Zhang Lexing. I have not forgotten to subscribe to some newspapers and magazines in the computer industry, such as "China Computer News", " "Computer World", "Computer News", "Computer", etc., and also designated a room as a reference room to store the subscribed newspapers and magazines by the way, and the daily management is in charge of the administration department.

Zhang Lexing came to the reference room nearer the inside, Shen Guokang was on duty today.As soon as he saw Zhang Lexing coming in, he quickly got up and said, "Boss, you are here. Do you need any information, do you want me to find it for you?"

"No, I'll look for it." Zhang Lexing waved his hand, then pointed to a few newspaper racks against the wall and asked, "The latest newspapers are all there."

Shen Guokang nodded, and Zhang Le walked over to pick up a newspaper folder, which happened to be the latest issues of the computer newspaper, and the latest one was the twelfth issue published on March 3.Holding the newspaper folder, Zhang Lexing found a chair and sat down to read it carefully.I watched several issues in a row, but there are few introductions on computer configuration, but there are many articles on word processing. Many games on the Nintendo Famicom (FC) were relatively rare during this period.After reading a few more issues of "China Computer News" and "Computer World News", Zhang Lexing basically confirmed the situation of the home computer. Now the recommended configuration starts from 26, memory 12MB, with 286-inch floppy drive, dual-frequency single display ( Text, CGA simulation), the price is around 1 yuan, and at this time Intel has released the Pentium processor integrating more than 5.25 million transistors.

Zhang Lexing remembered that "Sword" should require a computer with a 386SX processor or higher, and it also requires a VGA color display. If the current 286, dual-frequency single-display frame is used, the game may shrink a lot.Fortunately, Zhang Lexing remembers that the next few years will be a period of great popularity of computers in China, and there will be a big jump almost every year. It seems that 95 computers have begun to become popular in 486, and many people even started to use Pentium computers. At that time, I believe that there should be many users with 386 and 486 computers, but don't worry about the computer configuration not keeping up.Zhang Lexing originally wanted to design the game screen more beautifully, but this would exclude 386 computers from the support list. The game may be better, but the number of people who can play the game is probably less than half , it seems that it can only remain unchanged.

After leaving the reference room, Zhang Lexing called Zhan Jun, and planned to confirm the personnel list of the new project department first, and start the work officially after the completion of "Transportation Tycoon".When Zhang Lexing was talking about the game settings and plot, Zhan Jun listened to a part of it. There is no need for Zhang Lexing to repeat it again. He only needs to explain some details. It is just that the game version on the market has both simplified and traditional characters. , After listening to Zhang Lexing's description and setting of the game, Zhan Jun pondered for a while, and took out a list of 26 people, eight of whom were old people who had participated in advanced training, and added 20.00 people who he thought were suitable. Newcomers, ten programmers, six planners, ten artists, the music part because there is no dedicated producer in the company, Zhan Jun is going to outsource, and at the same time outsource traditional game scripts.Not including the music and traditional script, Zhan Jun estimated that it would take about 95 to 2 months for the production cycle, and it would take another two months to replace the music and traditional script. Zhang Lexing made some calculations, adding The [-]% grace period is only in February of [-], and the time is completely within time.

"Boss, after hearing so much from you, I still don't know the name of this game. Do you have any suggestions?"

Zhang Lexing was thinking about whether there was any need to adjust the game content, so he didn't pay attention to so many and said casually: ""Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

"Okay boss, then our new project department is called the 'Legend of Sword and Fairy' project department, I will go to communicate with those people on the list now, if there is no problem, then the project department will be formally established next week. Boss, I'm going first."

After Zhan Jun left, Zhang Lexing remembered that he had said the name casually, and it seemed that he was going to feel sorry for Yao Xian again.Forget it, I did it anyway, and I don’t care about this one more time. I hope that the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series can be carried forward in my own hands, and it can be considered as a regret for many people.

Once things were arranged, Zhang Lexing had nothing else to do for the time being, so he wandered around the company, taking a look at places that he hadn't finished watching yesterday.In addition to the reception room, transparent office area, meeting room, and reference room, there are Zhang Lexing's chairman and general manager's office, a tea room, and two smaller meeting rooms.There is also an entertainment room set up under the suggestion of Zhang Lexing, with an area of ​​more than 300 square meters. There is a billiard table and a basket nailed to the wall. There are different types of game consoles in the cabinet under the TV, ranging from Nintendo Famicom (FC) to Sega Fifth Generation (MD) and Super Nintendo (SFC). There is a bookcase nicknamed "Solomon's Treasure" by the employees. Instead of books, there are various game cassettes and game CDs in it. Most of them are brought back by Zhang Lexing from abroad, and a few are obtained from volunteering. .But maybe everyone is busy today, and there is no one here. Zhang Lexing casually picked up a basketball placed by the wall, and made a standard jump shot. The basketball flew towards the basket and hit the basket with a bang. The box bounced back, it seems that today's luck is not going well.

Leaving the entertainment room, Zhang Lexing walked into the chairman and general manager's office, which he hadn't been to before, and happened to see his assistant Wang Mengyao tidying up the room.

Seeing that her boss was coming, Wang Mengyao quickly straightened up and said hello: "Hi, boss. Wait a minute, it will be fine soon."

Zhang Lexing remembered the investigation Wang Mengyao arranged for last year, so he asked, "By the way, you were asked to investigate BJ's game development strength last year. Did this matter come to fruition?"

"There are already results, but you haven't come back, so I haven't had time to report to you. Just wait a moment, and I'll go get the report."
