In his previous life, Lin Yifeng was tricked by his first love into going abroad, missing the period of rapid development in his homeland.
He finally managed to amass a fortune of hundreds of...
The truck driver left early, while Ye Yuqing stood outside, like a beautiful sight. More than half an hour later, Lin Yifeng strode in, looking at the dazzling array of arcade games in the warehouse.
"Thank you all for your hard work. Qingyi, please record three orders for the brothers in the delivery team."
With a smile, Lin Yifeng asked Xu Qingyi to add three orders to the order list for each person in the delivery team who came to help.
Based on Wallace's current earnings of 3 cents per order, each person earns approximately 9 cents per hour.
Earning 90 cents an hour is very high in an era where the average monthly income is 80 or 90 yuan. Many of the delivery team's employees waved their hands, saying they didn't need to be paid and that they were just there to help. But Lin Yifeng insisted that they write it down.
Lam Yat-fung is a generous person. After his experience with Kwok Fung-sang, he reflected on himself and realized that he had valued money too much.
Having lived two lives, Lin Yifeng's views have changed in many ways.
In his previous life, Lin Yifeng worked his way up from an unregistered resident to a billionaire, so he valued money quite a bit.
But in this life.
Returning to the golden age of the 1990s, Lin Yifeng felt that money was something that was good enough.
After all, once money exceeds a certain amount, it becomes just a string of cold numbers.
Compared to these numbers, there are many other warmer things in this world.
Wallace's group of friends left gratefully. Lin Yifeng entered the shop filled with arcade machines and personally installed a game motherboard on one of them before plugging it in.
This is a Sega arcade machine.
Sega is a game developer owned by Sakura. In 1992, Sega and Nintendo were considered the two strongest game developers in the world.
At the same time, Sega was also one of the world's leading high-tech companies. In 1992, Sega even claimed to be the world's most technologically advanced company.
In this era, Sony and Microsoft were no match for Sega; only Nintendo, with the playability of its games, firmly held its own against Sega.
The dark screen lit up the moment the power was connected, and soon the words "BARE KNUCKLE" slowly appeared.
Xu Qingyi looked at the arcade machine with a face full of curiosity. This was the first time he had ever seen an arcade machine. He had lost his parents when he was in junior high school and had been trying his best to survive.
Arcade games were too far removed from Xu Qingyi's life.
"Stone Fist of Rage?"
This arcade machine from Sega Sakura only has Japanese and English versions. The current machine is in English. Lin Yifeng frowned slightly as he looked at the contents.
Lin Yifeng could naturally understand English.
Just because he can understand it doesn't mean that others can.
Let alone in this era when most people don't finish junior high school and then stop going to school.
Even if you were to live in a future era, there would still be many people who wouldn't be able to understand English.
No, it's that the vast majority of people can't understand English.
"It's not localized into Chinese."
Yang Biaozi's arcade machines were all smuggled directly from Sakura, but Sakura didn't value the domestic market at all. They didn't value it in the 1990s, and they still don't value it thirty years later.
Forget about getting Sakura to be translated into Chinese in this day and age.
"Originally, we thought that once we brought back the arcade machines, we could open an arcade right away, but now it seems that we still need to train a group of people."
Language doesn't prevent players from playing the game, but it can prevent them from entering the game. Lin Yifeng needs to train a group of people to guide players on how to enter and start the game.
because...
Some players who don't know English really don't know how to get into the game.
Training a group of people wasn't a big deal. Since there were no seats in the shop, Lin Yifeng could only squat in front of the arcade machine and start playing.
Streets of Rage is a side-scrolling beat 'em up game with three main characters: a male protagonist, a female protagonist, and a black man.
Lin Yifeng played the game briefly, and from his perspective, it wasn't particularly special.
It was just a very ordinary side-scrolling fighting game, but Xu Qingyi behind him stared wide-eyed when she saw it.
"Boss, what, what is this?"
"You seem to be able to control the little people in here."
"This is an arcade game."
Lin Yifeng looked at Xu Qingyi with a puzzled expression: "What, Qingyi, have you never played arcade games before?"
"Ah, this is an arcade game?"
Xu Qingyi smiled shyly: "Boss, this is my first time seeing an arcade game!"
"Then come and play."
"Give it a try and see what this game is like."
Lin Yifeng beckoned to Xu Qingyi, inviting her to play the arcade games. He then looked at Ye Yuqing, who was standing not far away, and asked her, "Master Ye, would you like to try it too?"
Ye Yuqing shook her head.
She hates foreign things the most, and arcade games are foreign stuff, so she won't touch them.
Lin Yifeng did not force Ye Yuqing. He instructed Xu Qingyi on how to throw a punch, how to pick up props, and how to execute combos.
No matter how mature a teenager is, they are still young at heart.
Unless someone like Lin Yifeng, who has been reborn, has experienced all sorts of temptations in the mortal world.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to resist the impact of novel things.
It's like how a group of people in later generations say they have electronic impotence and don't want to play any games.
They've simply played too many games and gotten tired of them.
Xu Qingyi was captivated by the dazzling array of arcade games and was having a great time playing them. Lin Yifeng didn't disturb him but instead began to inspect the other arcade machines.
Transporting the arcade machine from Fujian Province to Makino City, a distance of nearly 1,500 kilometers, was no small feat, even with Lin Yifeng's utmost care.
Lin Yifeng checked all forty-plus arcade machines in the shop and found that six of them could not be turned on.
Arcade games are a product of advanced technology in this era.
But for Lin Yifeng, these are all old relics.
Lin Yifeng didn't cherish the arcade machine at all. He started to disassemble it with his bare hands, trying to find out why the machine wouldn't turn on.
Time flew by. Xu Qingyi was engrossed in arcade games, while Ye Yuqing looked at Lin Yifeng with curious eyes.
In her eyes, Lin Yifeng was far more appealing than arcade games.
