35. The Beginning of Upheaval in the Online Game Industry
The meeting lasted nearly an hour and a half.
Kuang Zhi and Chen Nuo, who had been very loud just now, did not say a single word during the second half of the meeting.
No one paid attention to them. The director present was obviously more concerned about "Fantasy OL".
The meeting was even dissolved.
No one noticed that they didn't leave.
Only Mu Wanqing stood up and glanced at them before leaving.
His expression was far from contemptuous.
She just glanced at it.
Then the girl with black stockings and glasses turned around and left while holding the information.
Very free and easy.
at last.
Only Kuang Zhi and Chen Nuo were left in the conference room.
The two of them didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but they both stayed until the end.
The two looked at each other and were silent for a while.
Chen Nuo stood up slowly and took the initiative to speak: "Team Leader Kuang."
Kuang Zhi tugged on the tie around his neck impatiently and asked directly: "You really don't know anything about the new version?"
Chen Nuo shook his head.
"You are the director of Development Department Two."
Kuang Zhi seemed to have forgotten to be diplomatic and emphasized his tone.
He was obviously very upset about the embarrassing incident just now.
"..." Chen Nuo narrowed his eyes and said nothing.
Noticed the change in Chen Nuo's expression.
Kuang Zhi breathed harder, trying to calm himself down, and then said: "Director Chen, I have already handed in the report on Mu Wanqing's violation, and I have also handed in the draft handling decision. It is too late to withdraw it now. Now
After such a commotion, it will be very difficult for me if Deputy General Manager Li mentions me again."
Lin Yao said at the time that opening the champagne at halftime was just a joke.
Maybe she didn't even think of it herself.
There really are people who...will pop the champagne at halftime.
Chen Nuo still didn't speak.
Kuang Zhi's cheeks moved, as if he was gritting his teeth.
Shit!
How short-sighted.
He cursed in his heart.
But he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he said patiently: "Of course, this is my business. I was too anxious. But Director Chen, I have already handed in the violation report for the game project. If Mu Wanqing really does this this time,
I saved the game and the data is beautiful, but what does that count? Is it just a matter of making up for it? Or..."
Speaking of which.
Kuang Zhi paused, did not continue, and said instead: "You know I'm not being alarmist. Five servers can generate a month's revenue, and the number of people online is still rising."
"...What should we do?" Chen Nuo finally spoke up, a little irritated.
"Let's think of a way."
Kuang Zhi glanced at him, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Actually... if the game is really developed, you can be the director of the second development department, do you understand?"
Chen Nuo was slightly startled.
…
Development Department 2.
Lin Yao still raised her hand, looking at the broken U disk in her hand under the light.
Thinking about what to do.
"Wait... By the way, it's not a program but a Calabash Baby, right?"
Lin Yao suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and then her thoughts quickly ran away like a wild horse running wild.
Come to think of it, it might feel really thick.
If you go through all the hard work, collect enough money and recruit people, then plug in the USB flash drive.
Inside is a complete set of gourd dolls.
She could pass out on the spot.
The software company turned into an animation company on the spot...
Lin Yao's thoughts drifted further and further away.
until.
I heard someone calling my name.
Only then did Lin Yao come back to her senses from her inexplicable and overthinking state.
"Lin Yao."
"Um?"
Lin Yao heard the shouting, raised her head, and then saw Mu Wanqing, a bespectacled girl wearing a skirt and black stockings, walking quickly towards her with a gentle smile.
"Have you finished the meeting? Miss Mu?"
Lin Yao put down the USB flash drive and asked.
"You stand up first."
Mu Wanqing came to Lin Yao, put down the information in her arms, and suddenly stretched out her hand towards her.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Lin Yao put down her rounded jade legs and stood up with some confusion.
Mu Wanqing immediately opened her hands and hugged her.
"It's over. Thank you very much, Lin Yao."
Mu Wanqing gently rubbed her ear with her cheek and whispered.
"..."
Lin Yao hugged her soft and delicate body, smelled the faint fragrance coming from her body, and smiled helplessly.
You really can't just leave the girl with black stockings and glasses hugging you right after the game is launched.
Really unjust.
Mu Wanqing hugged Lin Yao, rubbed her cheek again, and continued: "My job is saved, I don't have to leave... That's great."
"...Well, that's great." Lin Yao sighed secretly.
have to.
It's even harder for her to speak like this.
After all, I don’t have money when I need it, I don’t have anyone to ask for, and I can’t talk nonsense about the USB flash drive.
You can't let the girl with black stockings and glasses in front of you, who is happy to keep her job, run away and start a business with you, right?
The reason why Mu Wanqing agreed to the development of the new version was to keep her job...
Is she really willing to take the risk?
"Lin Yao, are you worried?"
Mu Wanqing didn't just care about being happy.
She was keenly aware that Lin Yao seemed to be in a low mood.
"It's okay." Lin Yao shook her head.
"Really??"
Mu Wanqing gently rubbed Lin Yao's thin back with her palms and confirmed.
"Hmm... wait, hand, hand, hand, move away." Lin Yao suddenly got excited and started to struggle slightly.
"What's wrong?" Mu Wanqing was a little surprised.
"...You touched the strap, okay."
Lin Yao let go of Mu Wanqing's slender waist, took a step back, covered her chest with both hands, and glared at her.
"..."
Mu Wanqing met Lin Yao's gaze and slowly moved her gaze downwards. After a moment of confusion, she said, "You...you should buy a new one that suits you better."
"Gungungun, what do you mean by buying the right one? Why is it not suitable? Don't try to trick me into spending money."
Lin Yao glared at Mu Wanqing again: "If you don't touch it, it will be fine. Nothing will happen at all."
Mu Wanqing couldn't help laughing: "You are deceiving yourself."
"roll."
"It's okay if you look at me." Mu Wanqing slightly puffed up her proud chest.
"Oh I see."
Lin Yao took a look and suddenly showed an expression of realization: "You did it on purpose, just to wait for a moment to prove that you are better than me..."
"I don't!"
Mu Wanqing's face turned red, she took a step forward and covered Lin Yao's mouth with all her strength.
Lin Yao blinked and smiled at the corners of her eyes.
The two looked at each other.
Then they burst out laughing together.
…
ten minutes later.
"What happened?"
Mu Wanqing stood behind Lin Yao, with a faint blush on her face. While helping Lin Yao comb her long, smooth hair, she asked another question.
Lin Yao smiled and replied: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about the game."
never mind.
There is really no reason to leave as soon as you go online.
Besides, after putting in so much effort, I feel a little bit unwilling to just leave like this.
Let’s first complete the small goal of making “Fantasy OL” the leader in similar games.
at the same time.
You can also see if you can raise money with the software you have, register a company and recruit people to try running it.
Both can be done simultaneously.
"Really?" Mu Wanqing paused.
"Really, we're going to be very busy next time. We have to keep updating every two weeks!"
"Two, two weeks?"
"right."
Lin Yao nodded slightly: "At the same time, Miss Mu, you have to be prepared."
Mu Wanqing hesitated, seeming a little confused: "This..."
Lin Yao interrupted: "I'm not talking about game preparation, I'm talking about psychological preparation."
"Psychological?" Mu Wanqing was even more puzzled.
"Um."
Lin Yao shook her head slightly, slowly pulled out the long hair in Mu Wanqing's hand, then turned her head and looked at her seriously: "Miss Mu, prepare to face the players! Let's take a break
Just hold a meeting with the development manager!”
"...?"
Except for the above two things.
During this period, Lin Yao also planned to do one more thing.
That is to help Mu Wanqing squeeze out all the fame dividends brought by the game "Fantasy OL"!
…
at the same time.
Just when Lin Yao made up her mind to complete a small goal first.
Pengcheng Bay.
"Vice President, Hu Jianwen is currently detained in Pengcheng. He will cooperate with the authorities to sell the investments held by the Yongguang Department. The Yongguang Department may be finished."
The secretary stood in front of the table, looked at Lin Xi, and said softly.
"..."
Lin Xi was silent for a moment after hearing this, then lowered his head and rubbed the center of his brow, his expression gloomy.
Although her opponent was unlucky, she was not happy at all.
She knew exactly why the Yongguang system had to be finished.
Because of the vigorous financial deleveraging.
A lot of funds from the Yongguang Department have flowed into the financial and real estate fields.
Facing the depreciation risk and serious inflation risk that may be caused by interest rate hikes.
Regulation is coming.
This year's supervision of private financial holdings and comprehensive supervision of financial holding companies has been finalized, in order to allow capital factions to pay off bank debts and release huge amounts of capital.
The Linmu Department where Lin Xi is located... also invested most of its funds in the financial and real estate fields.
And it is more serious than the Flooding System. If it is not handled well, it may collapse suddenly.
Although she still doesn't know when the boots above will hit the ground.
But the government has already raised its foot, and there is no reason to put it down.
"Now Yongguang Group has listed several major financial assets for sale, including its actual holdings in Ansheng Life Insurance, Dancer Securities and eBay Entertainment."
Seeing Lin Xi lowering his head slightly and not hearing any clear instructions, the secretary hesitated for a moment and could only continue the report.
“eBay?”
Lin Xi suddenly raised his head, as if he had thought of something.
"Well... yes, this is a high-quality asset. Now the online game industry looks very promising, and many capitals are interested, especially Xinli Capital behind Tianhu. They are currently negotiating. If successful, Tianhu will become
The absolute leader in the domestic online game industry.”
The secretary was a little confused as to why Lin Xi was suddenly interested in an online game company.
The ban on gaming has just been lifted in this world, and the gaming industry here has not yet fully developed, far less exaggerated than on Earth.
It can only be regarded as a blue ocean industry with good development prospects.
Although eBay and Tianhu are the two kings in the field of online games, they are definitely not on the same level as Goose Factory and Pig Farm. It is still early days.
Last year, the combined sales revenue of the game market here was worth tens of billions.
In 20 years, Goose Factory's revenue from games has reached 150 billion...
Therefore, the secretary didn’t know much about the online game industry and only briefly mentioned a few things.
I thought the matter was over.
But Lin Xi thought for a while and asked: "Does eBay have a subsidiary called Yaoshi Software?"
"Ah?...I'll go check it out right away."
The secretary was stunned for a moment, with a strange expression on his face.
She simply didn't understand why Manager Lin wanted to pay attention to a subsidiary company at such a life-or-death moment.
But he still nodded and said he would check it out.
