Volume 1: Japanese Storms Chapter 21: Album (2)

  Led by Pong's creator Allan Alcorn, the team that developed the Atari 2600 had already split up to form several competing companies, including Coleco and Sega, after developing a series of successful arcade games. However, when preparing to develop their own home console, Bushnell and Alcorn encountered a problem: they didn't have the necessary expertise

  Yes, no!

  If that's the case, even if Potter, Lus and others developed a hardware system, this small system would lack the means to test its performance! Are they supposed to develop their own game platform based on Sega or Nintendo? Don't be ridiculous! This is being controlled by others. And there's a possibility of being bitten by Sega or Nintendo, Jerry wouldn't easily give it away! Moreover, with Microsoft as a major player in the system, can't they develop their own game platform support system?

  So, after getting the analysis report from Port and Lutz, and giving out the corresponding development plan such as 360-degree rocker integration, six-key layout, unique key identification, handle vibration sensing, humanized hand-feeling design, game motherboard simulation support, etc., Jerry hung up the phone to Bill Gates in Seattle!

  "Hey, it's me, Jerry. I'm calling to ask how you're doing! Don't make me sound like a vampire or something, I've put in brain labor too, and that's hard work! What? Are you willing to risk being sued by the American Child Protection Association to hire this little kid worker? Haha, you dare!

  Seriously though, are there any free programmers at the company? None? Don't lie to me with your eyes open, no one believes they're busy! The new version just came out yesterday, what else do they have to be busy with? Developing a new version for Apple? Get out of here! That's just an accessory, and with that lawsuit going on, you still have the mood to keep developing for them? Just drag it out as long as possible, or simply build a shell for them and give them some basic functions!

  I'm telling you, users can't be spoiled. You can't give them all the functions at once, or they'll get too used to it! Listen to me, just give them something simple first. Want advanced features? No problem, pay up! Alright, that's enough of this nonsense.

  You've already called me many times, no need to remind me again! Listen, buddy, send over a few people, I need to develop a game platform support system! Okay, no problem at all. Salary and benefits are on me, and I'll even provide relocation fees. How about that? The platform patent? Of course, it's mine! You want a bite of the game platform support system too? If you really want a bite, bring Microsoft shares to exchange!

  What? You're not willing to part with them? Then don't expect anything from me! But Bill, let me tell you one thing: if you dare ask for relocation fees, I won't guarantee that any good ideas will come your way in the future! That's a threat!

  How about Paul? If he's free, have him bring his team over personally. I've got some things to discuss with him too. You? You're not interested now, are you? Just call Paul over then.

  What? That guy is out on another date again? This crazy guy, as soon as he recovered from his illness, he's back to his old tricks! Tell him when he gets back that I need him to bring his team to Japan ASAP. The game companies here are waiting for the platform support system to test their hardware!

  That's right, game companies! If you're interested, it's the same thing: bring shares, I don't need money! Oh, and remind Paul that Japanese women have smoother skin than American women! Haha, maybe he'll like that too! Not like you, though. Don't learn from Paul's bad habits!

  Alright, when you see him, tell him to hurry up and come over. That's it!"

  Without the harassment of "Midnight Bell", Jerry was brought into such a predicament, Nakahara Hideo even if he had the intention to come and apologize, was afraid that Tanaka Nanako would be furious and throw him out, without relying on Tanaka Tsuneo's debt collection. This guy is now "leisurely" touring Japan like a dog. Without Watanabe Hiroshi's pressure, after taking three tear gas canisters, he dared to come again. Shonen-sha Yonsha has Tanaka Ichiro and Tanaka Rumi handling things, Nihon Production has Harano Aimi, John Paulson, and Bob Chen in charge, Hu Investment has Robert Soros and Leslie Miller taking care of it. As for entertainment, Fatty Schwein and Chui Muscle don't need to worry about him at all during this time! After observing Jerry for a few days, Tanaka Nanako, who had clearly recovered normally, also went to the Shinmintō party department, where many things still needed her personal attention. So, for the time being, Jerry was once again idle!

  This little guy is now lying bored on the sofa in the president's office of Xuxin Company, rolling around! It seems that it really needs to find something to do!

  I still owe Itoh Eito an album!

  Jerry's selective amnesia finally didn't happen again, so he picked up the phone and dialed directly to the Millet Production Company.

  "Is that Miss Mei? Is Bob around? Let him come over and listen to the phone! Bob, are you free next week? Come on over. It's about Dong Xin company. Yeah! Recording a song, last time we only released one single, I want to make a children's rock album! How does that sound? Are you interested? Haha, I knew you'd be okay with it. So, let's settle on this, hand over your current tasks and come over next week. There should be nine songs to record! Oh right, Bob, you haven't hit puberty yet, huh? What's puberty? It means when you try to sing high notes but can't reach them... never mind, your voice is already breaking when you try to sing high, it's pointless telling you! I'll tell you more about it next week when we meet. So, it's settled then!"

  Clemens has been hooked on that feeling since he walked the Grammy red carpet, who wouldn't love being surrounded by stars!

  Huh? Besides children's rock albums, shouldn't Anti-War also be made into an album?!

  So choosing songs has become a problem!

  The song selection for the children's rock album is pretty good, it's just a re-creation of famous rock songs. But an anti-war album is different. First, it must conform to the theme of anti-war, secondly, it must be suitable for Jerry's treble voice, and thirdly, the song's achievement and influence cannot lose to "Feng Shang", "Xu", "Fan Xu Zhan" and so on.

  Jerry hugged a pillow and rolled around on the sofa for half a day, but couldn't think of a good song, finally stormed out of the president's office!
