Chapter 98: Strolling in London

London Heathrow Airport is one of the busiest airports in Europe and even the world.

The time when Jester's chartered flight arrived in London was in the morning. Claudia came to the airport in person to greet him. For Jester this time, this British woman also knew that Jester came with great sincerity.

Claudia's hobby for cars is different from that of her average girl. Although Jester can see from her favorite to play with Pokemon pet machines that she longs to find innocence that she has never felt before, Jester was surprised to see that her car was a handmade Mulsanne that was just put into production in the 1980s, which is the classic model in Bentley's history.

Originally, he thought that girls like Claudia would like feminine cars like Beetles, or super sports cars that can show their personality with cool styles like Maserati and Lotus, but he still didn't expect that the other party would drive such a solemn and atmospheric car.

When buying any car is not a problem, you can see the character of the driver from the other party’s car.

In Jester's eyes, Bentley's car is like a solid armor, wrapping the driver's body tightly. If a man drives this kind of car, it is like a man wearing armor, which represents strength. However, a woman drives this kind of car, it is like a woman wearing armor. This will not make people feel the power, but it will only make people feel it. This woman is protecting herself with something that seems strong, but in fact she is afraid of the outside world.

However, Jester is not a master of psychology, and he doesn't know if his analysis is right. He just makes judgments based on his own feelings, but his judgment has always been very accurate.

The others naturally had special car pick-ups and drop-offs, which were arranged by Claudia, and Jester was directly invited to Claudia's Bentley Mulsanne, and there were only two of them in this car.

London has the nickname of fog, and the UK has a temperate marine climate, with constant rain all year round. It happened to rain when Jester came, so the sky was gloomy and the sky was invisible.

Claudia was wearing a light yellow professional outfit, a skirt, and long hair was tied behind her head. Although she didn't put on much makeup, she was still shining under her delicate face.

She didn't use the driver, but drove the car himself. Apart from a faint perfume smell, there was almost no feminine decoration in the car. If Jester hadn't known it before, he wouldn't have thought that this was a car that a young woman would drive. Whether it was the appearance or decoration of the car, it would have been too serious.

"Send you to the hotel directly?" Claudia started the car without turning her head, and asked Jester directly.

Jester recovered from his previous meditation. He stretched out his arm, stretched his arm, and shook his head: "I slept all the way on the plane, and the jet lag has not yet reversed and I can't sleep. You can do wherever you go. In fact, it's good to visit London. I haven't visited this international metropolis yet."

Claudia hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Okay." Then she paused and added with her unique sarcastic tone: "In fact, there is nothing to visit in London. It is full of decay everywhere, and she can't feel a little upward vitality. The people here still live in history and think they were in the Victorian era!"

Jester is not familiar with London. His only knowledge of London was when he was a fan in the later generations. He knew that London was the city with the most top clubs among the five major leagues. However, for Jester, a pseudo-fan, he might have a better understanding of Manchester United. He knew nothing about other British teams in this era except for the news that Liverpool won the UEFA Champions League in 1984 this year from newspapers some time ago.

But this is not Manchester, and Jester is not interested in these teams, so he didn't say he wanted to take a look.

The black Bentley sedan was driving on the streets of London. Jester looked at the scene on the street from the window, but in fact he didn't take it seriously. He was thinking about the establishment of a European distribution company this time.

"There is Sega's direct store in front of me." After turning to a new road, Claudia spoke.

Turning his head and looking at the road signs on the roadside, Jester saw a string of English letters written on the road sign, but because of the reason he was in the car, he didn't see it clearly.

Sega officially released several arcade games he authorized to the other party in the UK a week ago, and it was also the first in Europe. Because of the successful start of the United States and Japan, it also caused a certain sensation before the release.

But before it was officially released, Sega sold more than 10,000 units through various channels, which is a very good sales for the UK.

Sega's direct store model is also modeled on direct sales of flagship stores that Jester is building in the United States. It has a special experience area, and there are various Sega products and games in the experience area for customers to experience.

The flagship stores that Jester is working on are still relatively small. After all, he only has a few arcade games and a PC game that has not yet been officially released. In terms of the number of games, it is far from comparable to Sega, which has already released its own home console.

But it's just that the number of games cannot be compared.

Let Claudia stop on the roadside, Jester wants to go to Sega's flagship store.

Just now, Jester asked Claudia, which is one of the most prosperous and densely populated communities in London. Not far from here is the famous Richmond Royal Park and the World Heritage Royal Botanical Garden in the UK, and of course, the prestigious Wimbledon Tennis Court.

Just as he stepped into this direct store in Sega, the number of customers inside also surprised Jester.

There were more than twenty customers in this not-so-large store. Several Sega waiters were greeting each other in a hurry. Even if Jester came in, they didn't have time to pay attention.

In this store, there are many Sega products with a sense of space, including their own arcade games, home machines, and the four games of their agents.

But most of the other Sega games are basically ignored, and most people are queuing up around the Mars Entertainment games to experience them.

The arcade version in the experience store is different from the ones for sale. In the experience store, Mars Entertainment only provides content in the first few levels of this game. After all, the experience is to make you feel that this game is worth spending money. If players directly experience the complete game, how could those arcade owners still flock to purchase goods?

"Sir, are you here to experience the four games that have just been released?"

A young brunette woman in a lilac suit with Sega on her chest marked with the English words "Sega" saw Jester looking around. She hurried to Jester, bowed slightly, and said respectfully.

Although the other party spoke English, Jester could still hear her Japanese-style tongue-rolling sound from her accent, although what she said was not obvious.

This waitress is Japanese.

Jester smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm just taking a look."

Although Jester is not very concerned about his usual clothes, this time he came to the UK to represent the company's image, so he had asked Armani to customize it. In addition, the temperament of Claudia who has always been by his side also made this employee of Sega, who often observes words and expressions know that these two are not small people.

Therefore, she was very attentive when introducing it.

"Sir, these are the latest games of Mars Entertainment, a famous American game company represented by Sega. These games have caused a sensation when they were released in the United States and Japan. Moreover, according to our partner Mars Entertainment, the cumulative pre-sale sales of these four arcade games have exceeded..." Sega's waiter enthusiastically introduced to Jester.

However, Jester's vision was only slightly on those who needed to queue up to experience it in turn. He stayed on the arcades of his company's four games for a while, and then moved elsewhere.

Other places are relatively deserted. Of course, compared to the situation where he is experiencing the four games, there are also several other Sega's own arcade games that have been tried in front of them, but it is obvious that there is no need to queue up.

However, there was no player in front of those consoles, SEGA-1000, which had only been on sale for a year.

This is the first home game console independently developed by Sega. From the overall design style of the game console, the shadow of the Atari 2600 can be clearly seen, especially the design scheme of the classic single-shoe controller on the Atari 2600 is clearly proof. If it weren't for the Atari 2600 being black and the SG-1000 being white, then Jest might have admitted it wrong.

To be honest, this game console, Jester, has only seen such a cold name in the history of the development of electronic games in later generations. He has never really been exposed to it. After all, in China thirty years later, there may not be many people who have heard of the SG-1000 game console, let alone seen it, or even owned it.

Jester walked to the front of an SG-1000 gaming machine. The machine was connected to a Panasonic color TV, but it did not plug in a cassette.

The waitress of Sega saw that Jester was interested in the extremely poorly sold gaming console of her company. She quickly took out a catalog from the shelf on one side and handed it to Jester.

"This is the gaming cartridge of this game console, most of which were developed by our Sega himself..."

Jester took it by hand, then smiled and nodded to the waiter to show his gratitude.

There are more than twenty games on the list, all in English. Jester glanced briefly. He had never heard of these games, but this is normal. Although he knew the history of game development, he could not have searched for information on this in his previous life, as a niche game console as Sega SG-1000, he could not have searched for information on this in his previous life. So Jester just clicked a game on this directory, and then smiled and said to the waiter: "Can I experience this game?"

The waitress of Sega also looked at the game that Jester pointed to and nodded: "Sir, no problem, please wait a moment, I'll get you the game cassette." After that, she walked towards the counter on the side.
