"Clap clap clap..."
At this moment, Zhao Ye clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said, "Hmm, everyone's ideas are very good, and perhaps we can realize them in the future. However, this requires everyone to further refine their ideas. Alright, time is tight, I have a few game design proposals on hand, you guys go ahead and develop them!"
After finishing his presentation, Zhao Ye used traditional slides to showcase several of his game designs.
Zhao Ye's plan is to release at least 10 games when the game console is launched in order to attract consumers.
Therefore, Zhao Ye would often reminisce about classic games from his previous life on the FC.
Unbeknownst to him, he had already designed the story outlines and basic gameplay rules for 12 games; the specific details would require everyone to work together to complete.
First, there are sports games, five in the Hot-Blooded series: Hot-Blooded Baseball, Hot-Blooded Tennis, Hot-Blooded Soccer, Hot-Blooded Basketball, and Hot-Blooded Racing.
Secondly, there are three RPG games: Dragon Quest, The Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy.
Then there are three level-based shooting games: Contra, Red Fortress, and Salamander.
Finally, there's Pokémon.
However, there are clearly not enough people to develop so many games.
Since obtaining the loan from HSBC, Zhao Ye's thinking has changed. There is no need to rush to develop the game before the Plaza Accord, because that would be too rushed. The game would likely be poorly made with many bugs, which would severely damage Wujiang Company's image and cause it to lose the trust of players.
Developing games requires striving for perfection.
To defeat Nintendo, we must go all out and develop the best games.
Furthermore, it's best to promote the game and the animation together, as this is the fastest way to build brand awareness.
Japanese people can give away their cartoons to domestic TV stations for free. Zhao Ye thought that he could also give his cartoons to Japanese TV stations and then make a fortune through games and toys.
At this point, the slides only showed the games in the sports section; the remaining seven games were kept secret for the time being.
Sports games are relatively easy to develop, making them a good practice subject. Unlike ordinary sports games, the unique feature of the Kunio-kun series is that you can actually fight people in the game, and when you attack, a "special move" will appear. For example, in Kunio-kun Soccer, kicking the ball can transform it into a horse, a tiger, a donkey, a Tai Chi symbol, a bird, and all sorts of other unbelievable things. Moreover, when the "special move" appears, the sky and earth will even change color, and the sun and moon will lose their light, which is simply too exaggerated...
But that's how exciting and thrilling games are – they're bestsellers worldwide!
Zhao Ye presented and explained using slides.
Everyone was stunned and speechless; sports games could be developed in such a way!
The meeting lasted all morning. After everyone had a thorough understanding of the Hot-Blooded Sports series of games, Zhao Ye divided them into groups based on their resumes and the difficulty of the games.
In the following days, each team began to use their ingenuity to discuss and refine the game's content and finalize the game development plan.
For a time, the game development department was like a fully wound-up top, extremely busy.
While keeping an eye on the game's development progress, Zhao Ye began to raise funds.
Wujiang Company didn't have much foreign exchange, so Zhao Ye tried every possible way but could only raise $50 million.
This amount of money certainly wouldn't satisfy Zhao Ye's appetite.
Developing the semiconductor industry in China will cost an unknown amount of money. This is a rare opportunity, and it would be a pity not to seize it and make a fortune.
Zhao Ye decided to mortgage his shares to borrow money from the bank.
Since HSBC is so generous, why not borrow money from them again?
However, this time it was a loan secured by shares.
It's okay if things go slowly with the game.
Seeing that the game development team was on track, Zhao Ye decided to return to Hong Kong and have a chat with HSBC's tycoon, Shen Bi.
So, on the afternoon of August 14th, Zhao Ye and his group arrived in Hong Kong again...
...
Starting in 1982, Hong Kong's property market was affected by the global economic crisis, and it quickly cooled down, declining for three consecutive years. It wasn't until 1985 that the property market began to recover.
What followed was a 13-year period of rising housing prices, creating the biggest bubble in Hong Kong's history. In 1997, compared to 1985, the Hong Kong private residential property price index increased sevenfold, with the price increase exceeding that of the 1980s.
Zhao Ye originally didn't plan to buy a house in Hong Kong, since he wanted to use his money wisely. However, considering that Hong Kong property prices would skyrocket in the future and that he would often travel to Hong Kong for business, he couldn't just stay in a hotel all the time, as it would be quite inconvenient.
Therefore, he plans to take out a loan to buy a villa when he returns to Hong Kong this time.
The interest on loans is probably not rising as fast as housing prices.
When the time comes, you can easily sell the villa, not only paying off the bank loan but also making a fortune. Such a good deal is too good to pass up.
It's August 14th now, and there's still more than a month until the Plaza Accord is signed, so there's plenty of time.
"Manager Zhou, I'm planning to buy a house in Hong Kong. Do you have any good suggestions?" Zhao Ye asked Zhou Anping on the way to the hotel after picking him up from the airport.
"Boss, where are you planning to buy a house?" Zhou Anping asked.
“I’ve heard that the most luxurious residences in Hong Kong are on Victoria Peak. If possible, I would definitely like to buy a house on Victoria Peak!” Zhao Ye replied casually with a smile.
