Chapter 502 Private Island
Jester didn't know that his opponent was in trouble at the beginning.
In fact, he didn't have much time to focus on this research and development. In the initial discussion, he had to determine the tone of the initial development of this game. Therefore, this discussion meeting was basically extremely rare in Mars Entertainment.
The reason is very simple. At the end of this month, Jester is going to prepare for his own wedding, so naturally there is not much time to waste here.
Time flies very quickly.
As the end of the month approaches, the preliminary development of "Exotic Soul-Supervised Song" is almost on track.
In fact, there is nothing particularly difficult in the initial development of this game - to be precise, there are no particularly difficult technical problems in game development in this era. The most difficult part of "Exotic Soul-Supering Song" is its plot, after all, it is a game that uses very tense plots to sublimate.
This is also why, decades later, even if the pictures of this game are obviously outdated, many fans still love him.
Although Jester wrote hundreds of pages of the plot text of "Exotic Soul-Supering Song", there are still many things about some settings and other things. The plot can only be regarded as a more detailed outline, as for the language and wording of the plot, let alone the literary style.
"Exotic Soul-Supervised Song" was often bragged about by fans as well as the writing level of the best novel.
This is not difficult to do.
After all, Jester has prepared a development team of more than 20 people, and has been specially polished for the plot text, more than half of it.
At the beginning of development, the main focus was on improving all plots.
As for the artist, they only do some hand-painting of scenes, while the technicians complete the initial production of the game engine according to the game type and some systems or game functions stated in the settings of Jester. This is also the tradition of Mars Entertainment.
Half of their game development is to create separate engines based on the type or style of the game, or it is more appropriate to the bottom layer.
Instead of making an engine, and then changing it between different games.
Because Jester hates such engine usage methods the most, the name is different types and styles of games, but the most intuitive feeling of players is like multiple twins. Although there are art reasons for this, more of it is the engine problem.
Although Jester knew it too.
He did this in the 2D era, and he could do it when the engine was not high. Even in the early 3D era, it was not impossible to do this. However, if he was in the era when 3D technology was very mature in later generations, he would have to write a 3D engine separately without making a game.
Then the cost is simply not proportional to the cost.
However, if we talk about the future, Jester will naturally not be stingy in this regard what can be done easily now.
Claudia also rushed back from the UK at this time, and the negotiations with Ubisoft were also very smooth. Ubisoft's opinion on exchanging shares was rejected by Claudia, but was directly replaced by the individual stockholder, and the investor was Claudia. It is no secret in the circle that Claudia and Jest are about to marry.
Originally, Claudia wanted to let Jester invest as an investor.
But to be honest, Jester's current vision is not something that can be satisfied with a company like Ubisoft. In his eyes, it is like Oracle, Microsoft and Apple, which can make him interested in investing.
Although Ubisoft's market value will also reach billions at its peak in the future.
But in Jester's eyes, billions are nothing. Next year, Sandy Will reorganized the commercial credit company to the Traveler Group and waited for a few years to merge with Citibank, his assets will expand to an unimaginable level. It can even be said that he will become one of the richest people in the entire United States, or in other words, the world.
Of course, the main thing is wealth and influence.
If you want money, then nothing happens faster than doing finance. For example, the beauty he and Sandy Will jointly made on Monday appreciated with the yen, and the oil futures of the Gulf War a year later, and the Japanese index futures of the Hanshin Earthquake a few years later.
Thinking of the Hanshin earthquake, Jester also thought of the century-old Bahrain Bank, which went bankrupt due to this.
In fact, Jester does have the idea of acquiring a bank. After all, it is much more convenient for a bank to transfer funds than not.
Moreover, banks are the core of the consortium.
Now, although assets are only a primary stage for those large consortiums, they have barely done it. It is time to plan in advance to establish their own consortium, and the Bahrain Bank is a good choice.
Of course, there are many problems to be solved, and it is not that simple.
The private plane of Gulfstream has not arrived yet. Because there were some problems before, the construction period would be delayed for two months. However, for Jester and Claudia, although it was a bit regrettable, it was not unacceptable, because Gulfstream provided them with a plane for temporary use for free.
This is considered as compensation for delays in construction.
The private island that Jester bought is from New Zealand and is not large in size, but there are not many private islands sold outside in New Zealand.
This is Jester from his own channels that he knew that the wealthy New Zealand businessman had serious problems in his business. In order to save his career, he had to sell some of his fixed industries to save his career. However, the most valuable industry under his command was this private island called slipper.
But then again.
There are many people in the world who can afford private islands, but not many people who want to buy them but have the ability to buy them.
In addition, there are fewer people who hope to take over as soon as possible.
Just as Jester knew about this, he contacted the wealthy New Zealand businessman.
Jester has never been a stingy person. Although the agent also reminded Jester that he could take advantage of this opportunity to reduce the price, and he could get it at a price of less than 80% of the market price, Jester still refused with a smile.
He felt that there was no need for this.
When the other party is in a dilemma, the benefits you get are only minimal. This is not your enemy or something. If you help me in time, you will always get more than you get if you get something.
Jester talked with the New Zealand rich man who wanted to sell his private island and finally reached an agreement at a real price.
And this money did help the New Zealand rich man solve his urgent problem.
The New Zealand rich man was also very grateful to Jester for his generosity, and the two became good friends. The main reason was that Jester knew that the New Zealand rich man was very powerful in New Zealand. Although he bought this private island, he was just used as a place for leisure and vacation.
It may only be once or twice a year, but the combined time may not be a month.
Therefore, it is still very necessary to ask a local local snake to take care of it.
This slipper cost less than three million US dollars in total. This price is definitely not low. In the private islands in this era, it is definitely high.
If you use this money to buy those private islands in the Caribbean.
You can buy about two.
The slipper is also called whakahau, 4 kilometers from the Coromand Coast. The island has 224 hectares of land, with two main apartments and more than a dozen independent North American bungalow-style guest houses. All houses have direct access to the beach, with beautiful sea views and the coastline of the Coromand Peninsula.
Of course, this is indispensable to a small private airport.
Although large passenger planes cannot be parked, there is absolutely no problem with taking off and landing of private jets.
The most important thing is that there is also a horse farm on this island. Of course, there is no good horse for horses, but it is not a big problem for Claudia. As a traditional British aristocrat, Claudia is also very interested in raising horses.
At a young age, Claudia was asked to learn horse riding.
Even when she was in girls' school, she signed up to learn polo. Although she has not been many years and has basically not seen a few horse racing or polo competitions, she still has a few good horses, and Jester has seen them, but he has no knowledge about raising horses.
I don't know much about this industry.
However, after seeing the horse farm on the island, Claudia still expressed her love and planned to transport several horses she raised in London here after the wedding.
Jester and Claudia first came to Slipper Island, and the wedding preparation staff were accompanied by the wedding.
This time, Jester hired the best related contractors in North America, and all the requirements for the wedding were agreed upon by Claudia and them. Basically, the consensus reached between Jester and Claudia was to keep a low profile this time, and the invitation was limited to friends from both sides.
It just made Claudia a little dissatisfied.
When Jester's most important partner and Samsung's president Lee Kun-hee sent an invitation, Lee Kun-hee immediately said that she would definitely attend Jester's wedding.
However, the earliest one was Lee Fuzhen. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
