An Guo Zhenzi explained embarrassedly: "I am not..."
"Then how do you get the money to do all this?" Qian Huifu asked curiously.
"If you want to say, I'm the fourth generation of wealth..." An Guo Mako said in a low voice.
These words left everyone speechless, especially Qian Huifu, but what the other person said was not wrong, so she could only remain depressed and silent.
"Hehe, I'll bring the computer over tomorrow, so that we can have some fun when we have nothing to do," Song Gangdong changed the subject.
"In that case I'll bring the router over," Anguo Makoto responded.
The router was invented in 1986, so it is no problem for multiple people to access the Internet using one telephone line, but the speed is very slow.
But the Internet speed in 1991 was very slow, so there was no need to worry too much. This is also the reason why Songgang Dong didn’t go online very often.
After experiencing high-speed Internet, I can't stand this snail-like speed. It would be more comfortable to read newspapers or something to get information every day.
However, the Internet is like a new world to people today, so 1991 was a time when the Internet exploded, spreading directly from the United States to the whole world.
"Well, but what kind of game do you want to make?" Songgang Dong asked very curiously.
An Guo Zhenzi was a little nervous when she saw the inquiring eyes of others. After a while, she said softly: "I want to make a game like The Legend of Zelda."
The earliest version of the Zelda series of games was released in 1986. It can be said to be an extremely long-lived game IP and was already a very popular game at that time.
"Oh, that's quite difficult," Songgang Dong responded.
"I know, so it's just a goal. Right now, I'll be satisfied if I just want to make a game like Bomberman on FC," he said shyly, scratching his head.
"Well... this is not easy either. Are you sure?" Song Gangdong looked at him in surprise.
"Well... programming is no problem, but we'll have to find other people for art and dubbing," he responded shyly.
Songgang Dong thought that he was just a young man with a dream who was just trying it out, but he didn't expect that this guy seemed to be a talented person.
At this moment, he suddenly had an idea and thought of his own comics. He happened to be transferring Digimon comics, so why not let him try this?
Just make it according to the earliest Pokémon game method, and turn-based games are easier to make than other games.
"You haven't started planning the game you want to produce yet, right?" asked Songgang Dong.
"Well, but we'll start production in the next two days," responded Anguo Makoto.
Song Gangdong looked him straight in the eye and said, "I do have an idea about game planning."
His words made the girls curious, while An Guo Zhenzi had a look of surprise and confusion, not knowing what he meant.
"Mr. Matsuoka, do you want to play games with me?" Anguo Mako said a little excitedly.
"I guess so," Song Gangdong nodded.
"Great!" he was very happy.
Song Gangdong chuckled and said, "Listen to me first. If you don't agree, you can't agree."
"As long as it's about making games, I agree," he said firmly.
"Okay, let me tell you first. Actually, I also serialize comics, so I want you to make a game based on my comics," Songgang Dong said slowly.
Anguo Mako said in surprise, "I didn't expect that Matsuoka-kun is also a cartoonist. No problem. What is his work?"
"It's called Digimon," replied Matsuoka Dong.
"Which comic magazine is it in? I'll go buy it and take a look when the time comes." An Guo Makoto thought about it and made sure that there was no relevant impression in her memory.
In fact, he is also a comic fan and reads all kinds of publications. However, there are many works in Japan now, so it is normal that he has not read them.
However, there is one thing he can be sure of, that is, since he has not read it, it means that Songgang's comics must be rather bleak.
"It hasn't started serialization yet, it will take some time," responded Songgang Dong.
This made Anguo Makoto look a little strange and then asked in confusion: "But didn't you just say that it was being serialized?"
Saori said proudly at this time: "You know Slam Dunk, right? Songgang is the author."
"Huh?!" An Guo Mako opened her mouth wide.
He looked at Songgang Dong in disbelief. Of course he knew about the Slam Dunk comics, which was extremely popular now, but now it was said that the author was his classmate, which shocked him greatly.
"Really?" He confirmed again.
Song Gangdong nodded: "Yes, I am Mugong Shangang."
These words made An Guo Zhenzi very excited, and he was speechless for a long time. After a while, he suddenly ran out, which made Songgang and others puzzled.
"Is this guy going insane because he's too excited?" Saori said doubtfully.
"I think he went to the bathroom," Qian Huifu speculated.
Yoshikawa nodded in agreement: "That makes sense. Some people will have an urgent need to pee when they are stimulated."
Songgang Dong looked at these guys speechlessly. He felt that it would not be like what they said. Although Anguo Makoto was very introverted, it was not to that extent.
After a while, An Guo Zhenzi ran back panting, with a comic book in his hand. It turned out that he was going to get this.
"Huhu...Please sign for me." He held the Slam Dunk book in both hands and bowed to request.
Song Gangdong said with a smile: "So you want an autograph. Actually, there is no need to rush. You can sign anytime if you have time."
As he spoke, he took it and signed his pen name on the title page. After Anguo Makoto took it back, his eyes were full of joy. You know, he is a fan of Matsuoka Dong.
"That Digimon you were talking about, Mr. Songgang..." he asked confusedly.
"It will be serialized after Slam Dunk is finished, but you can take a look at the content first, but don't spread it to others, otherwise it will be very troublesome," Songgang Dong reminded.
"I will definitely keep it a secret," An Guo Zhenzi promised very seriously.
Song Gangdong nodded: "Then we can discuss it now, because we still need to sign a contract for the future game copyright and sales."
"Okay..." An Guo Zhenzi was a little conflicted when she heard this, but she finally agreed.
He originally just wanted to make a simple game, and he never expected it to turn into what it is now. However, it’s better to be more formal this way.
Song Gangdong thought he had other ideas about the contract, so he explained, "Actually, there's nothing wrong with the contract. It doesn't matter when or whether it can be done. The main thing is the possible distribution of profits later. It's better to take care of this first to avoid any trouble in the future."
"I understand, but there's something I still want to ask you," An Guozhen said carefully.
"Oh? What's the problem?" Songgang asked curiously.
"Slam Dunk is about to end. Are there really no plans for a sequel?" he asked expectantly.
From what Songgang Dong said, he knew that Slam Dunk would end soon, but judging from the time, he knew that there would not be much more content, which made him feel a little regretful.
"Well, it's almost over after the national competition against Sannoh," Matsuoka Dong revealed a little.
"So that's how it is. That's such a pity," sighed Anguo Makoto.
Song Gangdong smiled and said: "Digimon is also a good story. I hope you will like it when the time comes."
After hearing this, An Guo Zhenzi really started to look forward to it, and he was happy that he could enjoy the new comics in advance.
Then they discussed about the game, and the other girls listened to them, they also wanted to know what they could make.
Matsuoka Dong is a man of action. After finalizing the plan, he went to Shueisha and Yoshino editor to discuss the matter the next day. After all, the copyright is still operated by the publishing house.
Editor Yoshino was also very straightforward and agreed after only collecting a symbolic licensing fee. Since making games based on comics was not as popular as it will be in the future, the publishing house did not take it very seriously.
Game companies are now making their own original games, and they generally don't spend money to buy copyrights. Song Gangdong can be said to be getting a bargain now.
Moreover, he is also the author, so the publishing house will not be disrespectful to him. Moreover, when editor Yoshino heard that it was produced by a school club, he would be even less concerned. Yoshino did not think that the other party would achieve any results.
Even if it is made, it will probably be the kind of product that cannot be sold. It is just something that Songgang wants to play with when he has nothing to do in winter.
"Are you planning to get involved in the gaming industry?" Lawyer Dai Zhen asked curiously.
At this time, Matsuoka Dong and Ankuni Mako were at Aoyama Law Firm. They came over after school and wanted to find Daizhen to sign the relevant contract.
"I guess so," Song Gangdong nodded.
Daizhen looked at Anguo Makoto who had been keeping her head down with a speechless face. She felt that Songgang was really being ridiculous this time, as even club activities had to be so formal.
But the customer is God, as long as the money is paid, there is no problem, so a contract was quickly prepared. Matsuoka Dong and Ankuni Mako signed it directly after looking at it for a while.
"By the way, how is Huaze recently? That girl didn't even call me after going abroad." Daizhen's face was full of complaints.
Song Gangdong responded: "I don't know the details. She just reported some work progress. I have given her full authority over that."
"See if she comes back," Dai Zhen said in a bad tone.
"Maybe she was too busy over there," Songgang Dong kindly defended Hanazawa Xiang.
Dai Zhen's expression softened a little after hearing this and she said, "Tell me her number. That guy forgot to tell me."
"No problem," Song Gangdong nodded.
After everything was done, the two left the office, but Anguo Makoto still felt dazed. She didn't expect that she had signed a contract like this.
"I will try my best to complete the game." He naturally felt some pressure after signing the contract.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, just let it go. If you need anything, just ask and I will reimburse the corresponding expenses. We are now a studio," said Song Gangdong with a smile.
"Hmm..." An Guo Zhenzi responded in a low voice.
Chapter 150 Winter Vacation Plans
Songgang Dong still has some expectations for the future of the video game club. Anguo Makoto has shown him the small game they made, which is similar to the box-pushing game. It can be said that Feishao is very capable.
So he planned to let An Guo Makoto develop Digimon video games in the future, which would save a lot of money.
Originally, Songgang was planning to buy a small game-making company, but after meeting Anguo Makoto, he decided to set up one directly. He had a lot of calculations in his mind and had already developed the consciousness of a capitalist.
After this matter was settled, Songgang Dong had some free time. He was very relieved that Hua Zexiang was in charge of the Russian side, and he didn't have to worry too much about the United States side because there were professional managers serving them. He just had to grasp the direction.
Of course, he is much inferior to the author of the reborn novel, but the advantage is that he has more time to enjoy life.
Anyway, there will be many opportunities to make money in the future, so now you just need to slowly accumulate some capital. By then, whether it is the Soros incident in 1997 or the Russian economic crisis in 1998, you can make a lot of wealth once you are prepared.
Neon's autumn passed quickly, but the girls on the street were still wearing short skirts showing their thighs, which made Songgang Dong admire them very much.
"Saori, Shinomiya, don't you feel cold?" Matsuoka Dong asked curiously as he looked at the two girls walking in front.
"Of course it's cold, but it will be fine once we go inside," Saori replied.
Song Gangdong reminded: "If you keep your legs frozen like this now, you will easily get joint diseases in the future. It is better to take some warming measures, otherwise you will suffer enough in the future."
"Really? But it shouldn't be a big deal. Many people are like this," Saori said doubtfully.
