Chapter 537: Game

Yang Qing arrived at the study, picked up the phone, and asked gently.

"Son, what's wrong?"

Yang Qihang glanced at Chen Hong and then said.

"Dad, the game console my brother made isn't selling."

"I've tried making a few games, but nobody likes them."

"Can you make games?"

"If you can't..."

"Games?"

"Who hasn't played one?"

"It's just that back when we were poor and couldn't afford a game console, later when we grew up and bought Nokia phones, the built-in games were plenty."

Yang Qing sorted out his thoughts, then said.

"Son, games are mainly about competition."

"If you grasp this point, you should have a clue."

"Moreover, there are only a few types of competition; you can absorb the features of existing games and redevelop."

"For example, I know the Gremlin platform released a game called Blockade. I think you could develop a similar game called Snake."

"The controls are simple to pick up, but to play well you need focus and a good mindset."

"You could also design a game rescuing a beauty based on the story of Snow White and the Prince."

"The scene could be designed as a construction site, filled with various scaffolds, ladders, cranes, and so on."

"Enemies could be witches, demons, or, referencing the movie King Kong, a giant gorilla."

"Wait, wait..."

"In short, learn to draw on others' work, don't reinvent the wheel."

"Learn to use existing resources to create value."

Yang Qing's words sparked Yang Qihang's inspiration, but this also involves a problem.

"Dad, does doing this count as infringement?"

Yang Qing was a bit speechless.

"We're borrowing ideas, not copying outright; we're redesigning, aren't we?"

"If you really feel uneasy, just go buy the adaptation rights."

"Anyway, it's not that much money."

"Since you mentioned intellectual property, after you make the game, remember to apply for the rights."

"Your brother—isn't that his concern? Why are you so worried?"

Yang Qihang still wanted to keep it from Yang Fan, but Chen Hong snatched the phone from beside him.

"Your good son went to Apple Company; ever since he invested in that whatever Apple, he's been running back and forth there every few days."

"The game company also stopped caring, dumping everything onto Qihang."

"That bastard—I might as well send him back to Gangdao."

"Oh..."

"Yang Qing had a head full of question marks..."

"What's the situation, how did Yang Fan end up at Apple?"

"According to Yang Qing's understanding of this guy."

"This guy definitely has ill intentions."

"He went to Stanford to make game consoles, and for Atari he actually went to meet Jobs."

"After the game console was made, he abandoned it, shamelessly invested in Apple, and now he's still relying on Apple."

"This routine..."

"Could he be planning to be an insider?"

"This son actually has such great ambition; as his father, how could I hold him back?"

"Honey, the kid has his own ideas; that's pretty good."

"We'd better just ignore him."

"It's just been hard on Qihang."

"Reward Qihang with one million."

"Let our son eat well and drink well."

Chen Hong opened her mouth to scold someone, but Yang Qing hung up the phone directly.

"That son of a bitch, daring to hang up on me."

Yang Qihang was frightened and said carefully.

"Mom, the matter's settled; I'm going to the study to sort out my thoughts."

Chen Hong was counting on her fingers.

"Go on, go on; you're all masters, while I'm the one doomed to toil."

After Yang Qihang left, Chen Hong got through to Mao Ying's phone.

"Yingzi, any news today? None? Great, come over to our place for a sit."

"Sigh, it's still because of that brat."

"The boss lady summoned her; Mao Ying dared not delay, and soon arrived at the Yang Family."

"It wasn't far away to begin with."

Chen Hong caught Mao Ying and then went to the back courtyard.

After Mao Ying sat down, she began chatting with Chen Hong.

After a moment, she said something.

"Red Sister, I want to quit."

Chen Hong was stunned, then reacted.

"Why quit? You're making over ten million a year—where else could you find such a good deal?"

Mao Ying looked like she had made up her mind.

"Red Sister, I've finished filming The Legend of Hua Mulan."

"Moreover, the hype for Hua Mulan has faded."

"Splendid World is going to start shaping other female images—I'm not suitable."

"Moreover, I've heard the mainland is opening up—I want to go there and have a look."

"By the way, I'd like to travel around other places as well."

Chen Hong, hearing she wanted to go to the mainland, advised.

"The mainland and Gangdao are different—you won't achieve anything by going there."

"If you want to go and see, when I return home to visit my family, you can come with me."

"As a woman, it wasn't suitable before."

"Just wait a bit longer."

Mao Ying, having earned a lot of money, now wants to do something.

She's finished filming, had a child, got a husband—and he's still handsome.

Now she actually feels a bit empty.

That's why she wants to do something.

"Red Sister, what's the mainland like now? Can everyone eat their fill?"

"My family also came here as refugees."

"Now that life has improved, I just want to go back and have a look."

Chen Hong also wants to go back, but she doesn't know what the situation is now.

"Your boss says the situation on the mainland is still unclear."

"Going back wouldn't accomplish anything, so he told me to wait."

"If you ask how it is, it should be better than before."

"However, the population has also grown—I hear it's nine hundred million."

"That's more than double what it used to be."

"When there are many people, it's hard to generalize."

Mao Ying

"Gangdao's population has also doubled compared to before."

"Things aren't necessarily getting better and better now."

"Once the mainland opens up, life will improve."

Chen Hong lacks confidence.

"Let's hope."

The mainland's rigidity is too severe, restricting people tightly.

Trying to get rich is extremely difficult; if you're not careful, you'll be arrested.

Not a few have been executed by gunshot.

Development—how to develop—she can't even imagine it.

Yang Qing wanted to change, but his efforts went unappreciated, and many people wanted to harm him.

Only after coming out did he realize just how capable his husband really was.

Yet in the mainland he was suppressed into a pitiful creature bullied by others.

After years of influence, Chen Hong probably also understands some things.

A world as impregnable as bronze walls and iron walls—changing it is too difficult.

They have their own logic of development.

Yang Qing belongs to the heretical.

All we hope is to open the overseas remittance coupons early, and open the family visit channel.

That way she can help her mother and younger brother.

"If you want to go to the mainland, you can't go to the rural areas—first have a look in the big cities."

"Wait until you understand, then we can talk about other things."

"There are many taboos inside."

"If you don't understand, it's easy to cause others to panic."

Mao Ying, seeing Chen Hong's seriousness, temporarily gave up the idea of going to the mainland.

What Chen Hong said is right—she shouldn't be too rash.

During this period, first get to know the situation on the mainland.

Then make plans afterward.
