Please make money.

"Ah, those are the people you mentioned earlier that I hired at the trade show. No, why are they here?"

Alia scratched her head and went over, talked to them for a few words, and brought the person back.

"So they are here for exchange and visit. They are the employees of the branch company who come to the headquarters for further study, probably..."

Boss Jiang nodded and said, "I'll send the contract over later. Remember to take a look at it. It's a real surprise. I have something else to do. Please get busy."

"Don't you want to eat more?"

"No need... your cafeteria's chef is really good."

Boss Jiang really wanted to say that Ah Xin would like it, but he was afraid that Alia would ask who Ah Xin was, so he had to keep silent.

Alia didn't have anything to give her, and Miyamoto-kun and his friends came with several boxes of so-called souvenirs. Alia asked if these were okay as gifts, and Miyamoto-kun said yes. Alia didn't even open the boxes and directly gave them a box.

Miyamoto-kun was smiling happily with his arms crossed. He and Alia watched Boss Jiang leave. But he got angry when Kawagen Ichiro came back.

Why did the Izumo vicious dog follow me?

Isn’t it just for these gaming geniuses who worked like crazy to produce eight finished games and two pieces of hardware that have been debugged and are ready to enter mass production?

Alia hasn't signed yet! Although the copyright has been put in the hands of Ai Group, the problem is that the game development department did not belong to Ai Group in the first place!

"Miyamoto-kun! That's one of the four complete finished copies! How could you give it away!"

"Ah, Kawagen-kun, that was the eldest lady's decision."

"...Miss, please take the item back immediately! It is a trade secret that has not yet been put on the market!"

"No, you guys can't fix it for me, so what is that?"

"This is it!" Kawagen Ichiro brought over a suitcase, opened it, and turned to Alia as if it was some mysterious transaction.

Alia took a quick look and thought, isn't this just an FC console, a GBA, and sixteen cartridges that look like eight different models in two sets?

Uh-huh?

Alia came back to her senses after a brief recollection, and immediately made a tactical retreat: "Huh?!!!"

No, I just want to say, is it possible that these things shouldn’t appear at this time - how long have I only been giving you money?

Have you already prepared it and are just waiting for me to give you money and then package it for the market?

Alia pointed at the two rows of cartridges. "Are these all finished games?"

"A small-scale trial has been conducted, and it is a finished product that can be mass-produced."

“Why two?”

"Because it is a dual-platform, the hardware R&D department said that it can be combined into one on the next-generation platform, and even a digital version can be launched in the future."

The power of life and death over hardware and software development is in Alia's hands, so naturally there are no technical barriers. If she wants, she can even synchronize all platforms.

The FC living room console is the prototype of the three-in-one thing when she was a child. Alia is naturally familiar with it, from Contra to Tank Battle to Plumber.

GBA game console, she had also received a trial version before, which was very similar to the mature version.

The reason why we have been waiting is to wait for the games to be made to support these two consoles - just like when someone buys a wardrobe, you have to have matching clothes to put in it.

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, they actually came up with eight models...

Alia was certainly not shocked by the number. If Atari had done a shell-changing operation like it did in its later years, it could have released thirty-one games in three weeks.

The problem is that she is so familiar with these covers!

"Fire Emblem... Plumber... Gorillaz... Pokemon Red and Blue... Story of Harvest... Zelda - Ace Attorney?!"

Miyamoto, who was standing next to him, looked at Alia pointing at the unnamed cassette and clapped his hands: "Ace Attorney? What a great name!"

Tajiri Satoshi sighed helplessly, come on, whatever the young lady said was a good name, but Ace Attorney did sound good.

Historically, the prototype of this game featured a detective as the protagonist, but in order to differentiate itself from the relatively bland command-selection gameplay of traditional AVGs, the creators tried to replace it with a more impactful game system, namely, exposing lies.

Based on this thinking, the creator referred to his favorite "Pierre Mason" series and transformed the original detective theme into a court theme with a lawyer as the protagonist. Coincidentally, the GBA prototype was sent to Capcom, and the prototype was completed in two months.

But here, it is obvious that it is because of Kawagen Ichiro, the Izumo vicious dog who is already famous in the Honko area.

Inspired by the outstanding graphics of the new handheld platform, the creative team quickly finalized the corresponding platform for the game and began to follow Ichiro Kawagen to attend court trials and collect materials on the spot - the reason for attending was, of course, because Ichiro Kawagen had hit a philandering woman on the head in the courtroom and has not been able to appear in court to debate since then.

It then took us two months to produce the trial version, and modified the early concept that players needed to find all the contradictions in the entire process of the case trial in detail, and point them out and refute them one by one in order to advance the plot. The game was also localized in Chinese from the beginning.

Or maybe the Chinese version is the essence - Miss is Chinese! She must be able to understand all the game texts!

The resulting humorous mystery game received unanimous praise from the entire studio, and everyone even wanted to see if it could be spawned into literary works.

But that is a matter for the future. Now Ichiro Kawagen has only two requests. The first is to get the things back. How can he give unsold business secrets to his opponents?

The second thing is, Miss, you have to change the name of this protagonist - at least change it to a surname.

Alia nodded and said, "I see." But she was speaking Japanese, so Kawagen Ichiro immediately responded, "Is your name Naruhodo? That's great!"

"...Naruhodo? Naruhodo?"

"Miss, didn't you say to change the protagonist's name to this?"

Shigeru Miyamoto next to him couldn't hold back his laughter, so he decided not to bother this guy anymore and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Okay, okay, just call him Phoenix Wright."

After a brief farce, Alia waved her hand and rejected Boss Jiang's request to return the gifts. After all, the copyright of these things belonged to her after she signed.

At most, you just need to tell Boss Jiang not to leak it before the official press conference.

"But they don't play games. They make hundreds of thousands of dollars every minute. Okay, okay, let's go to the meeting room first. Oh, no, have you had breakfast? Eat first, eat first! Try this rice roll. It's awesome. Let me tell you... Why did you pour coffee on the rice roll?!"

……

……

"What? A game?"

Boss Jiang hung up the phone and looked at the box at hand suspiciously.

This thing gave her the feeling that it was a product of the Ai Group - like a mobile phone or something else.

Actually, it is like this when I open it. Game console? What are these? They look like they can be inserted into game consoles. Are they cartridges?

Boss Jiang had nothing to do in the car, so he just picked up a cassette with a very childish cover and started to speculate about the content of the game.

However, based on the pictures, the content she guessed was quite similar to the setting style of Long Aotian's Western fantasy novel written more than ten years ago.

It's probably because the hero has dragon bloodline, and at the beginning he has 17 or 18 kinds of SSS-level magic and two crystal balls to liven up the fun.

Then there is the talent of space and time magic, and then go on an adventure to a certain Warcraft forest and encounter Western dragons, which are all big lizards.

After taking a look, the big lizard shouted that this was the bloodline of the dragon ancestor, so terrifying that it was blinded and bowed down, then was willing to be the mount.

——If it is a female dragon, she must have two mounts!

I can only say that Boss Jiang’s hobby is probably similar to Ye Tianxin listening to nursery rhymes and An Lele reading a little notebook to learn Japanese. It’s a bit hard to delve into it…

Boss Jiang turned on the GBA handheld game console marked with number 03, clumsily picked a cartridge that he liked and inserted it. He looked at the word "GameBoy" in silence.

Kids? A video game console?

Then there are scenes of water dripping from leaves, a little monster and a little man on a bicycle running on the grass.

She pressed the buttons randomly without saying a word, and then slid step by step into an unspeakable abyss...

299-Towards the Dawn

What is this? A video game console? Play it!

What is this? A video game console? Play it!

What is this? You… Why the hell is it dawn already?

Well, although it’s not dawn yet, it’s true that he is a super time thief.

Boss Jiang had just beaten his first gym and figured out the attribute confrontations of his Pokémon when he arrived at his destination.

The assistant held a small board and said, "Chairman, you have two meetings today, and a scheduled meeting, and - Chairman?"

"Hmm...ah? Oh, let's follow the time."

She was a person with great self-control, but she still hesitated before putting down the game console in her hand.

This thing - how on earth did Alia come up with this?

This thing is poisonous!

She closed the box, thought for a moment, snapped her fingers and called Johnson in the car behind.

The latter came over and asked, "Miss?"

"Is this thing a new product from the Ai Group or something? Go check it out. It's related to their arrangement in the notebook."

Johnson took the box and nodded repeatedly: "I'll check it right away!"

"Also, don't mess with the game console in here. I need it."

"Yes!"

"Well, do it as soon as possible - in the evening - no, at noon, send the game consoles - I mean these samples - back."

Johnson looked at the box in confusion, but of course he did as the eldest lady had ordered: "Okay!"

"Go ahead... Ah Xiong, where is Ah Xin?"

"Miss." Broken Tooth Xiong, who was like an iron tower, walked behind Jiang Tianyi and said, "Miss Xin should have reached Wudang Mountain."

"Running around again, forget it."

Jiang Tianyi originally remembered that when Ailia was shooting special effects in the book, she also had some fancy moves.

She also said that if Ye Tianxin was there, she would let her see it, but the girl went out early in the morning and almost arrived at Dayue Zixiao Palace at noon.

Let’s wait until next time - if I can remember it next time.

She adjusted her cuffs and said, "Call a meeting of the senior executives. Also, go get the agency contracts for Hasselblad and Leica. Contact the original manufacturers to discuss the joint cooperation. We'll finalize these small matters today. We'll pay for the agency fees as a gift to her."

Jiang Tianyi said as he walked a few steps, then stopped and asked the assistant next to him: "Have you ever played games?"

"game?"

"Game console."

"……No."

"I've played it before—but I didn't feel anything before."

Jiang Tianyi looked at his watch, recalling his fascinated viewing experience just now, and finally asked his assistant to add a meeting.

"Ask the head of the investment department to see me. I want to talk to Alia about the general agent..."

……

……

"Wow--"

In the conference room, several employees who were caught by Alia shouted and screamed, and then were defeated in front of the big screen.

Aaliyah stood aside with her arms folded, and felt it was quite strange to watch this scene.

In 2022, people will use 2015 TVs to play 2000 FC games on game consoles with hardware standards from around 1985.

That’s right, although the FC red and white console still looks like FC, its functions are actually no longer the configuration of the first generation.

The main thing is that Alia couldn't find one that old...

In the 80s, there were more than a dozen TV game consoles on the market, but the total market size was only a few million.

At that time, everyone followed Atari to make a living, and what they focused on was not the hardware or the software, but the novelty.

Now that Atari has collapsed and the gaming industry is in mourning, Alia has spent a huge amount of money to become the savior of the industry, so of course, what she says goes.

She wanted to combine software and hardware, and the resulting hardware was still in the style of the FC red and white console, but its functions were more advanced.

In another world line, the FC red and white console was sold from 83 to and was sold for twenty years before it was officially discontinued. Its total global sales reached more than million.

Even today, there are still many places around the world that manufacture FC-compatible products—Alia had seen a lot of so-called open source handheld game consoles before she traveled through time.

As for the current Famicom, thanks to Alia's affordable concept of "picking up trash", the hardware development cost cannot be said to be almost zero, but it is extremely low.

There is absolutely no technical threshold pressure for the supporting production, and Alia is confident that she can directly lower the price of this thing to 199 for the domestic market.

Compared to the high price of 1985 yen in 14800, 199 is the real threshold for a living room console. After all, the market has not yet reached the era of PS.
