Video Game Empire

"Brother Biao, here!"

Rolubiao stood in the open space in front of the Xinnan checkpoint, looking around boredly, when suddenly someone behind him reached out and patted his shoulder.

"Chaoyang, where did you come from, how come I didn't see you!" Luo Lubiao turned his head and saw that it was his roommate in the dormitory of his college days. He couldn't help laughing happily, revealing a few white front teeth.

"I kept honking at you just now, but who knew that you didn't respond at all, so I had to get out of the car and call you!" Lin Chaoyang said, pointing to a white Santana car not far away.

"Hey, you're really amazing. It's been a while since you came to the Deep Sea Special Zone, and you've already driven a car. It seems to be doing well!" Luo Lubiao was stunned for a few seconds before he could say a word with shock and envy in his eyes. , The look of longing alternated.

"This car belongs to our manager. I'm just borrowing it to drive it. It will be convenient for customs clearance later!" Lin Chaoyang said in a very calm tone, but the upward arc at the corner of his mouth betrayed his heart at the moment. of that smugness.

"That's not bad, your boss is willing to lend you a car to drive, it seems that he values ​​you very much!" Lin Chaoyang said with a sigh as he picked up his luggage.

After showing off to his old classmates, Lin Chaoyang said, .↗.↖o, he also helped him with a big bag: "Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, men are afraid of entering the wrong profession! Brother Biao, in the SAR In this place, as long as you find the correct direction of struggle, let alone become a household of 10,000 yuan, it is not difficult to become a household of 100,000 yuan!

Of course, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy a car these days. There are a lot of local tyrants in the special zone, but there are not many who can drive a car in the normal way! Like those walking-private cars, they would not dare to enter and exit the checkpoint in such an open and honest way! "

Don't look at the Santana, a joint venture between Volkswagen and Shanghai Auto, which was put into production a few years ago. But in this era when the planned economy is still very heavy. Self-employed bosses can't even buy a car even if they have money. Now the Santana is mainly used as a government official car, and the leaders have not reached a certain level, and they may not be able to get on the Santana.

However, Dongfang Group can obtain 50 car purchase quotas from the Shenhai Municipal Government every year. Part of this is used to purchase the group's official vehicles, and the other is used as a reward for employees who need to purchase a car.

Because there were only the two of them, Lin Chaoyang didn't bother to open the trunk. Instead, he stuffed his friend's luggage into the back seat.

After Rolubiao got into the car, he first looked around curiously. Then he stared intently at Lin Chaoyang in the driver's seat next to him, watching him lightly turn the steering wheel a few times, and the car obediently began to turn the front of the car.

Not all areas in the deep sea city belong to the special zone, but actually belong to the scope of the special zone. Only the three districts of Nanhu, Fushan and Luotian are close to Hong Kong. The special zone is an experimental field for reform and opening up. There are many things that capitalism can try.

However, in order to prevent the impact from spreading all of a sudden in the event of a wrong step, the state specially isolated the special zone with a cement wire wall. The border checkpoint between Shenhaitou and Hong Kong is called a pass. The separation line between the special zone and the outside is called the Erdaoguan.

According to the relevant national policies, only those who hold the border pass issued by the prefecture-level public security organs are allowed to enter the deep-sea special zone through Erdaoguan. However, in the specific implementation of the policy, some openings have also been opened. For example, the old deep-sea people who originally lived in the special zone cannot let their relatives and friends living outside the special zone. Even during festivals, weddings and funerals, they could not come in to visit relatives.

Therefore, as long as people with deep-sea SAR ID cards can be picked up from customs, even those without border defense certificates. You can also enter the special zone through customs. The various checkpoints in Erdaoguan also created a new business because of this policy.

Luo Lubiao had just stood at the Xinnan checkpoint for half an hour when no less than five waves of locals came forward to ask if he should be brought in. The charges for these people are not cheap. They are only responsible for taking people from Xinnan from outside the checkpoint to Xinnan Town inside by motorcycle. They will charge ten yuan for less than two kilometers.

Rolu has a friend to pick him up, so naturally he doesn't have to be slaughtered. But he just observed it for a while, and at such an unreasonable price for slaughtering pigs, there are still many people willing to be slaughtered!

"Hey, brothers, are you going to enter the customs? Can you take me a ride?" Lin Chaoyang had just turned the car around, but before he had time to step on the accelerator, suddenly a chubby picture appeared outside the glass of the driver's door. Big face asked him.

Lin Chaoyang frowned slightly, and was about to say no, but the other party immediately said, "I can pay some more money, you just need to send me to Xinnan Town!"

"Chaoyang, why don't you earn the money you picked up for nothing!" Luo Lubiao in the passenger seat also persuaded.

Lin Chaoyang just nodded his head and motioned for the other party to sit in the back row! This somewhat rich man has no other luggage except a black briefcase in his hand. As soon as he got into the car, he opened the briefcase he was carrying, took out two large units from his wallet and handed them over.

"Boss, thank you so much, this is my gas money for the car!" The other party had a kind smile on his face.

"You're too polite!" Rolubiao glanced at his friend who was driving seriously when he saw that the other party was so troubled. Lin Chaoyang didn't seem to notice the other party's movements, so he had to reach out and take the other party's money in embarrassment.

"What's the name of the boss, you're giving too much oil money!" Lin Chaoyang finally said as he watched his friend help him put the money under the front glass of the car.

"My surname is Wu, my name is Yousheng, and my friends call me Asheng! I used to call a taxi driver from Xinnan Town and ask for a taxi, at least this price! Today I would like to thank the two brothers, Save me a lot of time!" Wu Yousheng said politely.

"Brother, you look a few years older than me, so I'll call you Brother Sheng! You go to the people in the square and ask them to drag you to Xinnan Town. Only ten dollars is enough. You today But it was a waste of money!" Luo Lubiao said with some puzzlement.

"Hehe, brother, it should be your first time to the deep sea!" Wu Yousheng shook his head and said. "Those people are not necessarily good people! In case of bad luck and someone who is short of money, they will directly drag you to a remote place and rob you of everything! We are strangers who are not familiar with our lives. Even The place to report the case may not necessarily be found!"

"Brother Biao, this brother Sheng is right, the water is deep in here! Last year, there was a news in the newspaper of the SAR that there was a businessman who took this illegal motorcycle to pass the border because he accidentally revealed his wealth, As a result, he was directly dragged to a remote place and murdered!" Lin Chaoyang also said. After the feasting of the SAR, there are many dirty sins hidden. This is why he just didn't want to. Reasons for letting strangers pick up your own car.

"Brother Sheng, why do you think the two of us are good people, aren't you afraid that we will rob you halfway too!" Although Luo Lubiao was a little shocked, he couldn't help but joke.

"Hehe. The two brothers' Santana looks like a new car that was just bought. How could it cost 150,000 to 60,000 yuan? You two are richer than me, and you can even look at it. I have these few in my pocket. Steel!" Wu Yousheng boasted with a smile.

A 1987 Santana. At least equivalent to luxury cars such as Porsche and Maserati in thirty years. You must know that throughout the 1980s, the Shanghai Automobile Company produced less than 100,000 Santana units. Santana has been in short supply for a long time, and people who can open it have a lot of background!

"Is Brother Sheng coming to the special zone for business?" Luo Lubiao asked curiously.

"Yeah, I'm here to stock up, and I'm going to get a batch of video game consoles back. You live in the special zone, you should have heard of this new thing!" Wu Yousheng explained.

"Brother Sheng, it seems that you really have a relationship with us. Chaoyang is developing video game consoles. Maybe you can take care of their company's business!" Luo Lubiao immediately pointed to his friend in the driver's seat and said.

"Oh? This is such a coincidence. To be honest, this is my first time doing this business. I used to mess with clothes!" Wu Yousheng's eyes lit up.

"Brother Sheng, are you going to open a game hall yourself, or are you going to do wholesale?" Lin Chaoyang was also a little more interested.

"I used to rent a booth in the Baiyun Clothing Market in Yuezhou. In recent years, I have been selling clothes from the deep sea side, and I have saved a lot of money to sell clothes in Yuezhou! But I rented the shop quickly. It's expired, and a friend of mine recently opened a game arcade. He made this new thing, as long as he sits comfortably in the store, he makes no less money than me running back and forth!

So I thought about changing careers, and this time I came to the deep sea to explore the way first! I don't know if this kind of video game machine is good to buy. If it is broken, how should it be repaired? If it's really possible, then I'm ready to give it a shot! "Wu Yousheng expressed his intentions very readily.

"Brother Sheng, since meeting is fate, I'll tell you so! The Hong Kong Oriental Group where I work is the largest arcade manufacturer in the world, with annual sales reaching billions of dollars!

It's just that I'm in the R&D department, not the sales department! But our company has an agent in China called Shenzhen Hyundai Instrument Company, you should find it soon if you inquire! Passing by, you just open a game hall by yourself, and you will only have 20 or 30 game consoles if you die. I don't know if they are willing to ship it to you directly!

If you can get the game console directly from Hyundai Instruments, then the price is definitely the best! If they have arranged a secondary agent in Guangdong, you can only go to the agent in Guangdong to get the goods! As for after-sales, you don't need to worry at all. The business philosophy of our Oriental Group has always been that customers are God!

Therefore, when our Oriental Group chooses a partner, we will definitely require the other party to meet the brand standard of our Oriental Group in terms of after-sales service! "

Lin Chaoyang parked the car at the bus stop in Xinnan Town, and explained a few words before Wu Yousheng left. After that, he drove Rolubiao back to his residence. Because he took a half-day off today, Lin Chaoyang was not in a hurry to go back to the company, but started chatting with his roommate who he hadn't seen for several years!

"Chaoyang, this is the dormitory provided by your company? The conditions are too good!" Luo Lubiao felt a little dizzying from the moment he entered the dormitory building.

Upstairs downstairs, electric light telephone! This is the dream of most Chinese people in the 1980s for their living conditions! Most of the dormitories of domestic companies now provide the kind of Chase shops that can be used for several people. Units with better conditions may have the kind of bungalows with one room per person. But in this kind of building, except for a large room, it is impossible to have a dedicated kitchen and bathroom!

Although Lin Chaoyang's dormitory is also shared, it is a large suite with four bedrooms and two living rooms. The four people in the shared room each have a separate bedroom with a balcony, then everyone shares the kitchen and bathroom, and the living room is divided into a dining room and a living room.

Rolu turned around and found that it is difficult for ordinary people to buy all electrical appliances such as washing machines, TV sets, and refrigerators.

"Brother Biao, stop smacking your lips! I told you a long time ago that our company's conditions are very good, now you believe it!" Lin Chaoyang took out two bottles of orange soda from the refrigerator and handed a bottle to Rolu Biao.

"Your company's treatment is so good, the requirements for recruiting must be very high!" Luo Lubiao suddenly became a little less confident.

"Brother Biao, according to our company's standards for recruiting original painters, your painting skills are naturally more than enough! But when you apply for the next job, pay special attention to the fact that the products developed by our company are games, not oil paintings! Original painters need to press Draw at the request of the game planners, not in your own style!

In the previous interviews in our company, most of the people who were eliminated were because they failed to come out of their identity as painters, and they always had to show their artistic ideas during the interview. In fact, it is definitely an advantage that you were born in Shanghai Art Studio, because many games developed by our company are all ages.

Many game images are designed to be childish~www.readwn.com~ To some extent, they are similar to cartoons! For example, some original paintings of the "Pokémon" game I sent you before. Although those are all scraps, if you read them carefully, you should be able to catch some clues! "Lin Chaoyang said in a serious tone.

He and Luo Lubiao are the first batch of graduates from the Oil Painting Department of the Academy of Fine Arts of Shanghai University after the reform and opening up. The 1980s was the spring of literature and art, but for those who learned to paint, it was far less popular than literature. Graduates of the Academy of Fine Arts have relatively narrow employment channels.

The two people in the same dormitory when they were studying, Luo Lubiao, who had good grades, stayed in Huhai and was assigned to the Huhai Art Studio. And Luo Lubiao, who had lower grades, was assigned back to his native Guangdong province and worked in an art publishing house in Guangdong city.

At the end of last year, Dongfang Game Company decided to set up a branch in China, and was preparing to recruit graduates from the Guangdong Academy of Fine Arts. Lin Chaoyang, who heard the news, went to find the person in charge of Dongyou Company as soon as possible, and hoped that he would also be able to apply for the job!

And he successfully persuaded the person in charge of Dongyou Company, and after getting the opportunity to participate in the interview, he was admitted by Dongyou Company as expected. After Lin Chaoyang entered Dongyou Company to work, he immediately found that he seemed to have entered a new world. (To be continued.)
