Video Game Empire

Chapter 21: Classic and Commercial

On the screen of the cinema is showing a film called "Fright and Lost", which is an old-fashioned Hong Kong-made comedy directed and starred by Wu Yaohan. It is a pity that the attendance rate in the empty cinema is not high.

Li Xuan and Zhong Chuhong, like other couples, chose a corner location and chatted intimately and whispered while watching a movie. Li Xuan didn't pay attention to the plot at all. He held Zhong Chuhong in his arms, and under the cover of the dim light, a wicked hand sneaked into the beautiful woman's clothes to do something embarrassing.

"Don't make trouble!"

Zhong Chuhong was shocked to realize that the bad hand of the stinky man had pushed the Bra on her chest away, kneading back and forth on the two plump mountains, and occasionally teasing the two round bumps with her fingertips. She got up, making her whole body go weak, so she had to give this bad man a soft snort.

Li Xuan also felt that his actions were a bit excessive. After all, it was a public occasion, so he had to take out the hand that took advantage of the situation, and kissed her profile affectionately.

Coincidentally, the movie is nearing its end. Zhong Chuhong struggled to sit up from Li Xuan's arms, and before the lights were turned on, he quickly sorted out the clothes that he had messed up and down just now.

"This movie is okay!"

At the end of a 90-minute movie, Li Xuan laughed wickedly, causing the beauties around him to roll his eyes. The popcorn and drinks the two bought before the show were unopened in convenience bags.

"Let's go!"

Li Xuan stretched out her arm and pulled up Zhong Chuhong who was sitting. She took advantage of the situation and took his arm, and the two walked outside with the flow of people.

"Where are you going next?"

"You'll find out later!"

Li Xuan took Zhong Chuhong to the front of the Chevrolet Camaro he bought, and the gentleman opened the passenger's door for the lady. When he went to a car dealership to buy a car a few days ago, he first fell in love with this familiar yellow sports car. Yes, this is the Bumblebee in the later movie "Transformers 1". The price of this sports car is very common, as long as 45,000 Hong Kong dollars, Li Xuan has no reason not to put him in his pocket.

Li Xuan quickly started the car, drove out of the parking lot, and rushed to the destination. About ten minutes later, the two came to Sham Shui Po in Kowloon. Li Xuan found a new parking lot and parked the car, then pulled Zhong Chuhong to turn left and right, and came to an electronic billboard with a video game city.

The game hall is on the second floor. The two climbed the stairs and just entered the door. Zhong Chuhong kept frowning when she smelled the smoky air mixed with the smell of smoke and sweat, and kept staring at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan smiled at her and motioned her to calm down.

"Young Master Xuan, you're here!" A man with a beer belly and slightly bald head came up and greeted Li Xuan with a smile.

"Cao Sheng, business is booming!" Li Xuan scanned the lively scene inside and sent congratulations to the boss, Cao Ming.

"Haha, it's alright!" Cao Mingfa waved his hand humbly, but the smile on his face never disappeared.

"I asked how the new machine that my boss sent over a few days ago did well?"

A few days ago, under the urging of Li Xuan, Du Wenqiang finally debugged the arcade version of Hong Kong Square. The game program of Hong Kong Cube is very simple. It does not even need a graphics processor, and the sound processing chip of the Little Bee Arcade is more than enough. With the help of various ready-made accessories in the factory, an experimental version of the Hong Kong Cube arcade is barely assembled.

After this arcade machine came out, Li Xuan asked his eldest brother to send it to the game hall of Boss Cao, an old acquaintance, for players to try it out. Now that the arcade machine has been working for several days, Li Xuan made an appointment with Cao Mingfa to collect some suggestions.

"This new game is very good, very interesting!" Cao Mingfa pointed to a game machine in the game hall on the left side surrounded by a group of people, "Here, it's that one, it hasn't been broken for the past few days, even the main board. Burned a piece!"

Li Xuan simply walked over there with Cao Mingfa and squeezed into the crowd. A student is playing the game, and his level is not bad. There are only two or three horizontal squares at the bottom of the screen.

"Cao Sheng, do I have any suggestions for this new machine? If the price is right, would you like to buy it in the game hall?" Li Xuan stood by and watched for a few minutes before returning to the cashier with Cao Mingfa.

"This game is very interesting, but there is a very serious problem! It's too easy to play, those students can play for half a day if they buy one game currency. Mr. Xuan, I'll be honest with you, if the difficulty of this game can't be improved. , I would buy one at most to make it more popular, and I won't buy more. With the same banknotes, I can earn hundreds of dollars a day to buy a small bee, and your Hong Kong cube will only cost you twenty or thirty dollars, which is not worth it! "Cao Mingfa took a breath and shook his head to explain.

"This is indeed a problem!" Li Xuan frowned, "This is just a testing machine, I will ask someone to pull it back tomorrow and re-modify the game program, adjust the falling speed of the cubes faster, and increase the difficulty!"

Hong Kong Cube is essentially a puzzle game used to kill leisure time. In the past life, it was only very popular on handheld game consoles and computers. It may not be suitable to adapt it into an arcade. This is a problem that he has not considered before.

This not-so-good result made Li Xuan's originally happy and good mood vanish for the most part. After he came out of the game hall, he kept frowning and was a little silent.

He suddenly found that he was taking things for granted. Before, he always thought about things from the perspective of a game fan and technology fan, thinking that what everyone loves to play must be a popular and good game. But business has its own rules. Only products that can create profits and maximize profits are the products that manufacturers and sales agents are willing to promote on a large scale.

Like his Hong Kong cube, no one doesn't think it's a good game. However, a shrewd boss like Cao Mingfa is reluctant to buy more, because his only criterion for choosing a game machine is not how classic the game is, but which game machine can make him pay back faster.

"Hey, what's the matter, did something happen?" Zhong Chuhong asked with a slightly worried expression on her face.

"Ah!" Li Xuan finally came back to his senses, and found that the two of them had returned to the car at some point. He was thinking about the problem all the way, and he didn't pay attention to these details at all.

Li Xuan reached out and touched Zhong Chuhong's beautiful face affectionately, and a confident smile returned to his face again: "It's alright, I encountered some small troubles! How does it feel to go to the game hall today, is it still fun?"

Before Li Xuan came out of the game hall, he specially pulled Zhong Chuhong and let her experience it on a shooting game console called Commander.

"It stinks to death inside, it's all second-hand smoke!" Zhong Chuhong looked disgusted.

"Haha!" Li Xuan said with a smile, "Alas, video games are always a boy's world, you girls should lie in bed and read romance novels when you have time!"

"Do you know how much money that Cao Sheng made from opening such a game hall just now?" Li Xuan said mysteriously. He specially dragged Zhong Chuhong there today to see it only for his purpose.

"How much?" Zhong Chuhong didn't care too much about this, she ruffled her hair and asked perfunctorily.

"It's two or three hundred thousand in one year!"

"Wow! There are so many?"

Li Xuan saw that Zhong Chuhong was finally attracted attention, and then said proudly: "Hongdou, if you were asked to open such a game hall, what do you think?"

Hongdou is the boudoir name Li Xuan recently gave to Zhong Chuhong, and he is only allowed to be called by himself. The elf-like woman Red Bean in "Across the Four Seas" was his favorite back then. Unfortunately, after that, Zhong Chuhong turned around and retired, saying goodbye to the film industry and becoming someone else's wife. Now this beautiful woman is a lovely child in his arms.

"Ah, can this work? I've only opened a clothing store before, and I don't understand game consoles at all! Besides, I saw it just now. The personnel in the game hall are very complicated, and it's easy to cause trouble!" Zhong Chuhong thought about it and shook her head and gave up. .

"Don't worry~www.wuxiahere.com~ I have everything covered! That Cao Sheng, although he is the boss, doesn't go to the game hall several times a month. Today I specially asked him to go there. meet!"

While playing with Zhong Chuhong's jade hand, Li Xuan explained, "There are people coming and going in the game hall, and it's more complicated to concentrate on bad boys, but you just need to find a strong boss to help you watch the game. As long as you pay by the rules every month. Number, they will take care of all the problems! As long as your dad invests the money, he can wait at home to collect the money, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t go to the game hall!”

"There is such a good thing, why don't those club bosses directly open the game hall by themselves, why do they still find someone to share the money!" Zhong Chuhong was still a little puzzled.

Li Xuan stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead while she was not paying attention. When Zhong Chuhong wanted to take revenge, he was hugged tightly by him, her lips pressed against her piercing ears, and she blew lightly: "Do you think the club bosses are very rich? They have a large group of them. Little brother needs to be taken care of!"

"Yeah!" Zhong Chuhong felt that her ears were itchy, and her body couldn't help struggling a few times.

"After you go back, discuss it with your old bean, as long as you pay, it will cost at least 100,000 yuan. I will ask my brother to help you with other things. It is estimated that you will be able to pay back the cost in half a year. You have two younger sisters and one younger brother, and your old bean and mother have a heavy burden, so are you going to live in a small house for the rest of your life?"

While talking, Li Xuan gently bit Zhong Chuhong's delicate earlobe, and then slowly kissed the fair collarbone, then kissed along the smooth neck all the way, and finally covered the delicious and attractive red lips.
