Chapter 428 Dinner

Jester and the others never thought that they could discuss such a major issue at once, so the first discussion was just to avoid controversial areas and determine the uncontroversial parts first.

For example, it is like referring to Hollywood's movie grading methods. Although ea disagrees with it, they are all in detail. On this point, they have no objection. This time, the permanent directors were invited by Jester to attend the second Mars Entertainment Carnival, and this meeting was just a matter of time.

Jester had known before that EA was also interested in getting involved in the console platform. After all, no one who is determined to achieve success in the game industry will not be jealous of the benefits of the console platform. For example, Jester knew that Tripp Hawkins, in his memory, joined forces with many giants including Microsoft and Panasonic to establish 3do and produce 3do, the console.

However, now I have joined forces with Sega and Sony to form the World Electronic Games Association, forcibly controlling all the rights to the game platform. Anyone who wants to enter this industry without authorization and develops a host on his own will have to face the threat of the three alliances. This threat is basically without a way to crack it.

Because as long as three companies occupy the vast majority of the market share ban them, third-party companies will not develop games for new competitors.

As for the previous sentence, without the participation of third-party competitors, any game platform is a pile of scrap iron.

Even Nintendo retreated, and Jester didn't believe that Ea would have any unreasonable thoughts.

Three days later, the opening day of the carnival is, and tonight, it happens to be the time when Jester invites Rob Pardo to have dinner together.

By the time Jester arrived at the dinner place, Robert Pardo was already there.

It was Jester's subordinate who took him over in advance. You can't let your boss, one of the richest thirty people in the world, waste time waiting for an insignificant boy.

"Li...Mr. Li."

It can be seen that the moment Robert Paldo saw Jester was extremely excited. He almost stood up at the first time, his face turned red, obviously caused by the excitement of the qi and blood. Jester, as usual, waved his hand casually to let the other party sit down, without being so nervous.

Jester first asked Rob Paldo to take a small sip of wine, so he calmed down before asking.

"You are only twenty years old. You are in your junior year?"

Robert Pardo nodded modestly: "I was good in middle school, so I skipped the grades, but I didn't have much interest in mathematics, so my grades in college are not very good."

Hearing Robert Paldo say this, Jester's expression moved, and he continued to ask: "I'm not interested in mathematics? Then what are you interested in? I see what you describe in that letter. You should have a lot of experience in how to design a game."

"Well……"

When Robert Pardo heard Jester praise him like this, he felt a little embarrassed. He blushed with a little embarrassment, and then continued: "Actually, I also studied software development as well. I am confident that when I graduate, I will get a double bachelor's degree. And I will also make some small games on PC in my daily life, so I think a lot about this."

There is nothing to hide, Rob Pardo talks about it according to the truth.

"Oh? Do you also make some small games yourself?" Jester's eyes lit up when he heard him say this. He seemed to have some interest. He asked casually casually, "Have you submitted it to a magazine or a certain game company? Let them see if it can be sold?"

"No."

Robert Pardo shook his head with some lack of confidence: "I think the game I made is still far from it."

At this time, the waiter had already started serving the dishes. Jester originally wanted to say something, but when he saw that the dishes had been served, he did not continue to say it, but had eaten the appetizer first.

After eating the appetizer, Jester imitated porcelain smiled and said, "Actually there is no need to underestimate yourself. I can see your talent in your letter. Moreover, I have invested in a game company established by two high school students before. I value their talents very much. Now their names are not obvious, but I believe that in the near future, their company will definitely be impressive."

Jester said calmly, but when Robert Paldo heard it, he felt a little excited.

Do you dare to invest in a game company that is just a two high school student? Is this true or false? However, Robert Pardo thought again that he was an ordinary person, and Jester was a big shot in the industry, so there was no need to deceive himself, so he immediately dispelled his doubts. However, he was still very interested in the game company that Jester mentioned, so he took the initiative to ask.

"What's the name of this company...the studio?"

"hehe."

Jester first chuckled, drank a glass of wine, and then said the name of the company: "It's called Naughty Dog, and I helped them get the name. They have actually developed several small games, both on the console and PC. Although there are no particularly eye-catching works, they have achieved some results... By the way, they recently decided to make a big production, which is an RPG game. I've seen their development plan before. I think they will definitely be able to succeed in this game, but it's a pity..."

When Robert Paldo heard that people younger than him had developed many games and could be praised by his idol, he suddenly felt a little yearning. He also thought that he only knew how to talk on paper, and he was worried about failure of the game he developed and did not dare to show it to others. Just when he was a little ashamed, he heard Jester say a pity and did not continue.

This immediately aroused his curiosity, and deep down he seemed to be a snake biting him, so he almost blurted out: "What a pity?"

Jester sighed first, then shook his head and said, "They are young after all. They will go to college after this summer, and they are still different universities, so it may not be possible to continue developing games together. So after this game they are developing now, they decided to give up the company for the time being."

This time, the dinner was not long, only forty-five minutes.

By the thirty minutes, the rice had almost been eaten, and the dessert after the meal had already been presented, a serving of creamy strawberry ice cream.

Jester didn't like sweets, so he just tasted it a little and stopped. When he saw Robert Paldo's expression was not true. In fact, from the beginning of the chat, Jester discovered that the other party seemed to have something to worry about, and he should have something to say, but he didn't know what he was worried about, so he didn't say anything.

Besides, he wanted to ask the other party for something, so he said, "Rober, I seem to have something to say, but I am worried - if it is related to me or I can help you, you don't need to worry, just say it."

Robert Pardo does have something to want.

It's not a secret, but he actually wanted to ask Jester if he could get an internship with Mars Entertainment during his senior year. After all, becoming a game producer is his biggest dream. If you can intern in the world's best game company, it's better to be your mentor with the best game designer in the world, then it's naturally perfect.

But he was worried that after he asked on his own initiative, he was rejected by the other party, which seemed too embarrassing.

Seeing that Jester took the initiative to ask why his expression was not true, Robert Pardo hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering whether he wanted to say something in his heart. However, when he saw Jester's sincere gaze, Robert Pardo immediately plucked up the courage, feeling that no matter whether the other party agreed or not, he would always try it.

At least I won’t feel regretful if I’m rejected like this. If I don’t even have the courage to try it, I will definitely sigh and say that I didn’t seize this opportunity.

Therefore, after a fierce ideological struggle, Robert Pardo finally made his own decision.

Then he said: "Actually nothing is wrong. I just want to ask if I can get an internship at Mars Entertainment - if possible, can I follow yours and fully participate in the development of a game."

After saying that, Robert Paldo's eyes were filled with a look of desire.

What he most hopes is to hear the other party say something like yes, agree, and agree.

However, after hearing this from Jester, he could not tell anything from his face. His face was still so calm, with a warm smile, which made people feel like spring breeze.

Jester smiled first, staring at Robert Paldo with a pair of bright eyes, who looked a little nervous, and then said: "This is not a difficult problem. With your letter about RTS, you will be able to get an internship at Mars Entertainment. I can even tell you that your understanding of RTS games is even deeper than those who followed me to make "Age of Empires". You have this talent."
