Chapter 42 The only chance is this time
Xiangjiang International Airport.
Liu Zhiyuan and his team, together with Sega's development team, walked out of the airport in a grand manner.
"Ayuan."
It was Jiang Jiahao who came to pick him up at the airport. There was nothing he could do about it, because he was the most leisurely person in the Han Dynasty.
"Mr. Tong, Mr. Xu."
Tong Zixian and Xu Xiang, who were in Baodao, also came over with their own troops.
After confirming that Sega would send a development team and technical personnel, Liu Zhiyuan immediately contacted them.
Heroes of Might and Magic is just bait, and the fish that takes the bait is Sega's technical team. This is what Liu Zhiyuan values most.
If you want to develop your own console, technology and funds are indispensable. Liu Zhiyuan is not too worried about funds. If he sells a few more games, he can always raise a lot of funds.
But technical issues are difficult. Only when this kind of MD has been developed to the last minute can we have the opportunity to obtain the most advanced technology of this era.
Liu Zhiyuan really put a lot of thought into the selection of MD's first game. Sega must pay enough attention to it and send technical personnel to jointly develop it.
But it cannot be too classic a game, such as Diablo. Although Diablo also has shortcomings, these shortcomings are not fatal.
Heroes of Might and Magic is different, it has a very fatal shortcoming. It is definitely a good game when you first play it, but after you play it more, you will find that some units are simply useless.
Balance, the biggest fatal point of the Might and Magic series is balance. The core gameplay of Might and Magic is the balanced combination of various arms. You can imagine how fatal this flaw can be.
He is sure that when this game comes out, it will shock the whole world. It is really okay to punch Super Mario and kick Nintendo. But later generations have proven that Might and Magic will gradually become a niche game, but Super Mario is still popular.
.
Again, Jerry Liu will help Sega, but he will definitely not lift Sega to the throne of the second era of the gaming industry.
"Everyone from Sega, these two are the development team leaders of our Han Dynasty."
"Mr. Tong, Mr. Xu, this is the person in charge of Sega this time..."
After a brief introduction to each other, the group got into a rented business car and returned to the Han Dynasty's office.
Liu Zhiyuan rented a house not far from the Han Dynasty Company. This new office space was already filled with all kinds of equipment. Moreover, this place did not belong to the Han Dynasty to the outside world.
To learn new technologies, you have to practice them. This is the secret research and development base of the Han Dynasty.
After settling the Sega people, Liu Zhiyuan called Tong Zixian and Xu Xiang aside.
"You must already know the purpose of asking the two of you to come here this time, right?"
Tong Zixian and Xu Xiang nodded with serious expressions. They were still a little frightened. They originally thought they would simply cooperate with Sega to develop new games and learn some new technologies.
But looking at the equipment in the new office, it’s not just learning some technology, it’s just trying to imitate Sega’s latest model.
They don't believe that Liu Zhiyuan would be so stupid as to think that by copying a new Sega model, he can enter the console market. They are all technical backgrounds, and they understand the principle of copying and surpassing it.
In other words, Liu Zhiyuan simply does not feel comfortable being a third party developing games. He wants to enter the console market and get a piece of the pie.
The two of them broke out in a cold sweat when they guessed what Liu Zhiyuan was thinking. Nintendo and Sega, if they knew what Liu Zhiyuan was thinking, they would definitely uproot the Han Dynasty without hesitation, and MSI and Yingtai wouldn't be able to escape either.
What kind of genius producer, what kind of masterpiece, if you have to touch people's roots, will they still care about this?
They have never dared to think about challenging the dominance of Nintendo and Sega.
However, after suppressing the palpitations and looking at Liu Zhiyuan's step-by-step orderly arrangements, the two of them could not control their hands that were shaking with excitement.
There is hope! Genius game producers and foresighted arrangements, they really hope to join this console war. Thinking that the Han Dynasty will become behemoths like Nintendo and Sega in the future, both of them feel numb.
"We must drain Sega's development team this time."
Liu Zhiyuan's face looked a little fierce.
"Not just this development team, if you think Sega has any technology that will help us in the future, just ask and I will find a way."
"I have only one request for you. After Sega leaves, I want to see a replica console."
"Sega only has this chance to expose itself nakedly in front of us. If you miss it, you really don't have to have any more delusions. Do you understand?"
"We understand very well!"
"Well, the two of you should rest early and recuperate. Once you start, you can't relax at all. This is a life and death game. Either the Han Dynasty will flourish, or you will just be a third party who develops games."
"Mr. Liu, please go to bed early."
After Liu Zhiyuan watched the two people leave, he didn't care much and just sat on the curb and smoked a cigarette. He had been planning for so long, and success or failure depended on this.
Sega would not guard against him stealing technology, let alone believe that he wanted to build his own console. MSI's legal person was replaced by other shareholders, and Xu Xiang's shares were all transferred out.
The legal person of Yingtai is a friend of Tong Zixian, and these two people are now the leaders of the development team of the Han Dynasty. Liu Zhiyuan's actions in Baodao can be said to be very secretive.
This is really the only time I have been exposed to the technology of the top gaming equipment of this era. Nintendo is still immersed in the glory of FC, and Hiroshi Yamauchi has not even had an idea for the SFC console.
Sony's PS is even better, and MD is the top game console of this era. Sega will definitely bring out all the strongest technologies for Might and Magic. This kind of product can have naked access to all core technologies.
The opportunity is once in a lifetime.
Liu Zhiyuan sat on the roadside and thought about it for an unknown amount of time.
"Smoking less, smoking too much is bad for your health."
Liu Zhiyuan came back to his senses, looked up at the beauty beside him, patted his butt and stood up.
"When did you come here?"
Jin Shanshan looked at him with some resentment.
"When you and Mr. Tong came out, I was beside you."
Liu Zhiyuan smiled apologetically and suddenly stepped forward and hugged her.
Jin Shanshan said she would push him away in a panic.
"I'm sorry, there have been too many things lately and I've neglected you."
But Liu Zhiyuan held her so hard that she couldn't push him away. Gradually, Jin Shanshan stopped struggling.
"I know you are very busy. You come home and fall asleep every day. When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. I thought about it when I decided to marry you. I can accept it no matter what the day is."
"It's just...I'm a little scared in this strange place alone."
Liu Zhiyuan looked down at the person in his arms with some distress, yes. She was only 20 years old, and she was not the wife he had been with for decades.
"I haven't left recently. I'm with you every day."
"No." Jin Shanshan left Liu Zhiyuan's arms.
"There are so many employees who have to rely on you to support me. How can you stay with me every day if you don't work? Others will poke my spine if they find out."
Liu Zhiyuan took her hand.
"The spring night is short and the sun is rising. From now on, the king will not go to court early. Just look at the poems written by Master Bai Juyi."
"Bah, shameless."
The girl blushed and held his hand tightly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised.
She doesn't need Liu Zhiyuan to accompany her all the time. She knows that her man is very good, so good that he must achieve something to be worthy of this excellence.
