Chapter 261 You Are Mine, Tenth Update
Rogers found it hard to believe that the owner of a real game would be that old.
At the age of twenty, he has developed a number of well-known game series and has become the most admired person by millions of players.
Sonic the Hedgehog has been popular on the Sega MD platform for a long time.
Side-scrolling adventure games seem to have unimaginable magic.
The same goes for Super Mario, and the same goes for Sonic the Hedgehog.
Arriving at the company's office, Rogers was surprised that the interior structure of the room was so simple and retro.
Today’s office buildings are no longer built this way.
It’s hard to imagine that a game company that is so well-known to the outside world would look like this.
Zuo Zhen was already waiting for Rogers' arrival in the main office area.
"Within the scope of this level, I think..."
Rogers passed one of the offices and found a Westerner inside who spoke fluent Chinese.
That's Pajitnov.
Pajitnov naturally noticed Rogers' arrival, but he had already known that such a person would appear before, so he didn't make too much of a fuss.
After all, he is considered a foreigner.
Rogers wanted to hear what Pajitnov was talking about, but unfortunately he couldn't understand it.
He then walked to the main area of the office.
When Zuo Zhen saw Rogers coming here, he temporarily put down his work and looked at Rogers who was coming.
"Welcome, treat this place as your home, you're welcome."
"Mr. Zuo Zhen, the boss of the real game?"
"Yes, it's me. Do you have any questions?"
"No, no..."
Rogers was a lot surprised, but he didn't show it. Instead, he tried to be as calm as possible.
"How is it? Is it okay for a small company like ours?"
"Small company? Haha, boss Zuo Zhen, you really know how to joke. Now you are already a famous company abroad."
On the side, an employee who seemed to understand English came over and asked, "Really? How famous are we?"
Before this, they didn't know much about the news from the outside world.
Busy work is one of the reasons, and there are too few news channels now.
At most, they could only occasionally learn about their situation from some foreign news magazines brought over by Zuo Zhen.
"Take Sonic the Hedgehog, which you developed, for example. It is now very popular in the United States. It is extremely popular. There are also other series of games by you. Let me tell you, even my daughter likes the Sega game console. .”
Rogers praised the real game without hesitation, and the person who spoke to him immediately felt a sense of pride.
Was he so popular?
"So since you think so highly of us, are you interested in joining us?"
"Um?"
Rogers was stunned.
"We need a branch that can develop in the United States."
"But I live in Japan now..."
Zuo Zhen waved his hand and said, "I don't think this is a big problem. As far as I know, you seem to be traveling around the world every day?"
"Uh...that's right."
Rogers is a restless man.
Even if it wasn't to talk about game business, he was still very keen on running around. Zuo Zhen's words had already spoken to his heart.
"Actually, I also need a channel that can expand my influence overseas faster. Just relying on Sega is definitely not enough, and you... I think you will be a good candidate."
Rogers really didn't expect that he would come here just to pay a little tribute and see this amazing game developer and game company owner himself.
Of course, let’s take a look at Pajitnov himself. He also likes Pajitnov very much, and even prefers Tetris developed by Pajitnov.
"But Sega's platform promotion is better than that of an individual company, right? Why do we need to form our own team?"
Zuo Zhen shrugged: "Don't put your eggs in one basket, so there will be no danger of overturning. I am also looking for a way out for myself. If Zhen and Sega are unhappy, I won't leave NGS as I did when I first left." Starting from scratch.”
"Boss Zuo Zhen, do you mean that you might still have trouble with Sega? You are now clearly regarded as Sega's biggest contributor. According to my understanding, Sega may be happy to give you more of the game sales share."
Zuo Zhen shook his head: "There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies in this world, and...have you heard of a handheld game console?"
"Handheld..."
Rogers' heart skipped a beat.
"Boss Zuozhen, did you hear something?"
"No, just casually speaking, NGS's gamewatch is quite interesting, which makes me always feel that I can create a similar product in a timely manner."
In fact, Rogers had already been in contact with NGS executives in the United States before coming.
Rogers tried his best to get an opportunity to use Tetris to persuade NGS to help him obtain the copyright.
However, after careful investigation, he had no choice but to abandon this path.
But NGS had already leaked to him the handheld console they were developing in advance.
gameboy
Game Boy.
And the young man in front of him also discovered this track.
No, it cannot be said that he and NGS were the only ones who discovered this track.
In fact, Sega has recently announced some development plans for handheld consoles. There is no airtight wall in this world, but Sega still doesn’t know how NGS will release its own products.
Zuo Zhen said: "Of course, now I mainly hope to use multiple channels, one more channel that I can control myself, to go to the United States to better promote my own products, instead of waiting for Sega to promote it for me."
It's not Zuo Zhen's character to keep waiting for others to bring him opportunities.
If possible, Zuo Zhen would try his best to obtain various publicity opportunities instead of waiting to reap the rewards.
If you don’t work hard, the biggest gains may be taken away by others sooner or later.
Rogers didn't hesitate for long.
Because then Zuo Zhen told Rogers about his own game philosophy, and Zuo Zhen took Rogers to see Pajitnov himself.
With Pajitnov's admiration for Zuozhen, Rogers finally decided to follow Zuozhen.
Zuo Zhen's request to him was to go to the United States to open a new company first.
Take advantage of the fact that the United States and China are still in their honeymoon period to establish a good basic market as early as possible.
It would be best to fool some more talents and make some reserves for yourself.
A few days later, Rogers left China and went back with the news that he had joined the real game and told his wife.
Then he made a new decision to go to the United States.
