Rebirth of Hong Kong’s Glorious Era - Chapter 121

Li Wansui stayed at Nintendo for 15 days this time, and has a better understanding of the current programming languages, especially the Basic language.

The Basic language was born in the 1960s. It was originally a high-level language created for programmers to make it easy for programmers to use computers. The initial BASIC language has weak functions and few statements, with only 14 programming statements. However, because BASIC was relatively easy to learn at that time, it quickly became popular in the programming world and became the preferred language for learning computer programming.

In the 1970s, the BASIC language developed into a widely used general language. It was also in this era that the microcomputer was born. As a necessary software, various microcomputers were equipped with the BASIC language, such as: AppleBASIC, IBMBASIC (BASICA), etc. Due to the different models, their extensions to the basic BASIC language are also different, resulting in the situation that programs in the same BASIC language are not compatible with each other, which is the so-called “dialect” problem.

This problem was not solved by the computer community until the mid-1980s, and a general version was formed. What Li Wansui learned in later generations was the standardized version after perfection.

After he crossed over, Li Wansui taught himself the IntegerBASIC language on his apple2 computer because of his teaching. Although it was also a BASIC language, it was quite different from the BASIC version used by Nintendo to develop games now.

The BASIC language version that Nintendo uses to develop games is very different from the Apple version of the BASIC language that Li Wansui mastered. He has been studying at Nintendo for 15 days. The BASIC language between the two versions is very different. Tian has been studying silently, and now I have thoroughly understood this version of the BASIC language.

……

“Miyamoto-kun, senior Uemura Ya, are you interested in going to Xiangjiang for a year or two?” Li Wansui asked the two of them with a glass of sake. Li Wansui did not bring Wang Hua here. The three of them spoke good English and did not need translation.

After get off work today, Li Wansui also followed the local customs and invited one of Shigeru Miyamoto and Masa Uemura to an izakaya for a drink.

Speaking of izakaya, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a symbol of Japanese male culture. In big cities, the customers of izakaya are male white-collar workers from nearby companies and students from surrounding universities. The white-collar workers of the company gather at the izakaya in twos and threes after get off work, drinking and talking about today’s and yesterday’s topics, from the company’s big and small matters to today’s baseball team topics, etc. This is also the most common way for Japanese white-collar workers to decompress. Moreover, if a man does not socialize after get off work, his wife and family will regard it as a sign of incompetence.

After staying at Nintendo for half a month, his mind is not only to learn game development, but he has become friends with Shigeru Miyamoto and Masahiro Uemura due to his deliberate friendship.

He came to Nintendo for an impure purpose. He has always been interested in Nintendo’s talents and wanted to kidnap a few people and form his own team.

Shigeru Miyamoto is okay to say that although the other party bears the name of Nuoda and is the top gamer in the future, Li Wansui has come from later generations, and there are countless classic games in his mind. Copy it out, so he didn’t pay too much attention to Shigeru Miyamoto at first. If he can bring it back to Xiangjiang, he will bring it back to Xiangjiang. If he can’t, although it is a pity, it is not worthy of Li Wansui’s regret.

Li Wansui also assessed in his heart that Shigeru Miyamoto’s role and value to him is to reduce his workload, and there will be no qualitative change. The strange ideas in the other party’s mind are worthless in Li Wansui’s eyes. For example, in Shigeru Miyamoto’s Super Mario series, Li Wansui has personally played it. Even without Shigeru Miyamoto, he can still make it.

But Uemura Yazhi is different. Li Wansui is very interested in him. Although he has never heard of Uemura Yazhi’s name in later generations, the other party’s resume makes Li Wansui speculate that this person must have participated in the development of red and white machines in later generations.

These days, Li Wansui would invite the two of them for a drink when he had nothing to do, and he made friends with him on purpose. Became the object of special affinity in the eyes of the other party, and some of Uemura Masazhi’s experiences were all drawn out by Li Wansui.

Masayuki Uemura was born in Nara Prefecture, Japan in 1943. At the end of World War II, his family moved to Kyoto. His childhood was spent in an environment of material deprivation. When he was in elementary school, he read about how to make a mineral radio from a book, so he went to the Electric Street in the center of Kyoto by bicycle to buy electrical components and assemble them by himself. After trial and error, the ore radio in my hand finally made a sound. When he was in middle school, Masayuki Uemura was obsessed with music. He took the tape recorder to the school and connected it to a self-made amplifier, and played classical music to his classmates. Then he was admitted to the Faculty of Electronic Engineering, Chiba Institute of Technology.

After graduating from university in 1967, 24-year-old Masayuki Uemura entered Hayakawa Electric Industry (ie Sharp), engaged in the research and development of laser sensing equipment. He heard that Nintendo’s Yokoi Junpei was developing light gun amusement equipment, so he found Yokoi Junpei and recommended him solar cells produced by Hayakawa Electric Industries. This light gun amusement device became very popular after its introduction and became one of Nintendo’s early successful products. Nintendo leased a large number of unused bowling alleys and turned them into beam gun shooting ranges. This is the first collaboration between Masaaki Uemura and Junpei Yokoi. In 1972, Masayuki Uemura left Sharp to join Nintendo, where he was in charge of game hardware development.

This experience made Li Wansui especially value Uemura Masaru. He worked at Sharp and became close to Yokoi Junpei. He has certain R&D achievements within Nintendo, his qualifications are old enough, and his technology is strong enough. How can such a person be in future generations? Did not participate in the development of the red and white machine?

Shigeru Miyamoto and Masahiro Uemura listened to Li Wansui’s question, but they didn’t speak, and their eyes revealed a searching look.

The two of them already knew that Li Wansui was talking about talent cooperation between Hong Kong Institute of Technology and Nintendo on behalf of the Hong Kong Institute of Technology. Long live the dark thoughts in my heart.

Looking at the inquiring eyes of the two, Li Wansui explained: “I felt that this was a very suitable partner during my visit to Nintendo. The verbal agreement I reached with Mr. Yamauchi included Nintendo’s technical support for our Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute. , including sending two employees to our Hong Kong Polytechnic Institute to assist in teaching, the personnel relationship is still at Nintendo, enjoying Nintendo’s business trip treatment, Hong Kong Polytechnic University should also provide a lot of income, and I, Miyamoto-kun and Uemura Masa I have a good relationship with each other. They are all friends. Although senior Uemura is proficient in hardware, he is not inferior in software. Besides, it is very good for students to have some hardware knowledge. I think if you want to If so, why don’t you come back to Xiangjiang with me.”

His remarks explained the reasons for inviting the two of them, and did not directly disclose his plan. When the two arrived in Xiangjiang, are they afraid that they would not be used by him?

Shigeru Miyamoto was the first to shake his head and said, “Li Jun, you know that I love game development, and I don’t want to leave the front-line position because of money.” He is a very pure person and likes his current job very much.

Uemura Masazhi also smiled and said: “Indeed, Li Jun, my thoughts and Miyamoto-kun are somewhat close.”

Hearing that the two declined ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Li Wansui was not discouraged, and had already estimated this situation. Nintendo is a great company. Without a group of employees who love the industry, it cannot be great. Shigeru Miyamoto and Masahiro Uemura have such enthusiasm for work and love for the game industry, and they do not want to teach in Hong Kong, even if the salary is higher.

Li Wansui smiled and said: “Miyamoto-kun, senior Uemura Ya, going to Xiangjiang is not to keep you away from the game industry, but to retreat to advance, leaving Japan temporarily, but it will allow the two of you to win more in the future. The company’s resources will allow you to be on your own and develop the games you want to make according to your own wishes! Well, if this is the case, you shouldn’t refuse to temporarily leave the positions you love, right? Miyamoto-kun, think about it, use The idea in your mind, to lead a team and create a game world by yourself, instead of doing what the leader asks you to do now, is so exciting. And senior Uemura Masa can also follow his own wishes, Are you excited to develop game equipment so that players all over the world can play the game equipment developed under your auspices?”

Li Wansui was full of nonsense, successfully aroused the interest of the two, and calmed down the red-faced, almost 40-year-old Yazhi Uemura who they were talking about, and said: “Li Jun? What does the Xiangjiang teaching have to do with it?”

After speaking, he got up and bowed to Li Wansui, expressing his urgent need for Li Wansui’s guidance.
