Rewrite the Technological Landscape

On January 22, New Battle.net came to Huaxia, directly represented by Ninetowns and responsible for server construction. The arrival of the new Battle.net has aroused enthusiastic responses from real-time strategy players in China. Classic games on the platform have all been reviewed, including Warcraft, StarCraft, Red Alert, and Half-Life.

On the first day, the highest number of online users of New Battle.net directly exceeded 300,000, and the highest number of online users in Kyushu was less than 100,000 that day, which was a significant drop from the previous average of 130,000 highest online users.

The Ninetowns announced the data as soon as they got the news, which seemed to be declaring some kind of victory.

But when everyone turned their attention to Dafeng Entertainment, they didn't see any response. As soon as this silence lasted, it lasted for three days.

New Battle.net dominates the major game forums every day, while the Kyushu platform only does one thing and continues to promote new games.

However, the offensive of the new Battle.net is too strong, and those players who support Kyushu have obvious concerns about Kyushu's seemingly too plain handling. Even in the eyes of many people, Kyushu seems to be a bit self-defeating.

And this worry has also spread to the neon country.

On the 25th, Meng Qian made a phone call with Gu Chuan, who was in charge of the game at Sony.

"Mr. Meng, don't you have any further strategies for steam's attack now?"

"Mr. Gu Chuan, so far we have accelerated the original pace. Players' requirements for game quality are not something we can decide. I also communicated with Mr. Idei a few days ago. The speed of steam's launch this time has indeed exceeded All of our estimates, all of our plans are broken, and that's out of anyone's control."

"Then why don't we do anything now?" Gu Chuan on the other end of the phone had some resentment.

Meng Qian said in a serious and helpless tone, "Since players pay so much attention to the quality of the game, they can only launch the game that our company is developing as soon as possible. Mr. Gu Chuan, can you transfer your team to us for a while."

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, "I can't decide on this matter, wait until I discuss it with the president."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Chuan looked at Idei who was sitting opposite him, "President, Meng Qian wants to borrow a team from us."

"For his 3D game engine?"

"Yes."

Idei touched the tail ring on his little finger, "Will it affect our own game development?"

Gu Chuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed and said, "Last year, the game lost a lot of money. According to the original plan, this year we want to shrink the battlefield a little bit, but we also have two core games that need to be developed. Now the development team should be able to mobilize a team. It's just impossible to let them stay in China for too long, three months at most."

"Then tell Meng Qian the truth." After realizing the balance between the two sides, Idei's tone became more relaxed, "Let Meng Qian make good use of these three months."

"Okay." Gu Chuan nodded in agreement, and then asked a little cautiously, "The performance of the cooperation with Kyushu just now is like this. Dafeng Entertainment doesn't feel very reliable. Should we make more preparations?"

Dejing's eyes turned sharp in an instant, "Could it be that Dafeng Entertainment is reliable, so you didn't prepare?"

Gu Chuan was startled, and quickly stood up and bowed down to apologize, "I'm sorry, President, I was negligent."

Idei also got up and patted Gu Chuan on the shoulder, "When you can hold back, Dafeng Entertainment is your friend, but when you can't hold back, Dafeng Entertainment will become an enemy, understand."

Gu Chuan bent his waist even lower, "Understood."

On Meng Qian's side, Gu Junhui felt a little uneasy after hanging up the phone, "Is it not good to cheat Sony like this?"

"Why is it not good?" Meng Qian deliberately let Gu Junhui know that he was taking advantage of the situation to cheat Sony, just to see Gu Junhui's reaction.

"Just cooperating, it will increase some grievances to some extent." Gu Junhui's eyes flickered for a short time.

Meng Qian pretended not to see it, and nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, President Idei of Sony is eager to send a team over."

"Why?"

"Of course I came here to find out."

"Are they in such a hurry?" Gu Junhui understood what he said.

"There are many ways of technical support, and this kind of direct participation in development is what Sony wants most.

We are originally a cooperative relationship that takes advantage of each other. As long as we don't touch each other's bottom line, how much we can extract from each other is up to each other.

So this time Sony's team is here, you have to take good care of them for me. "

Gu Junhui heard the different pronunciations of the two words of care, and nodded immediately, "Understood."

Not long after, Gu Chuan called back, and the two sides confirmed the details. The next day, Sony sent a small vanguard team to dock, and the team behind was still dealing with issues such as visas.

At 2 pm on the 25th, Xiao Boshi was working in Meng Qian's office. Sun Xiaojing knocked on the door and came in and gave Meng Qian a document, "The specific time of the annual meeting must be fixed. The employees are waiting for the announcement, and the venue is also urging me .”

"Starting commercial competition on specific important festivals is a common business method." Xiao Boshi noticed Meng Qian's consideration and said from the side.

Meng Qian nodded, but did not respond to Xiao Boshi's words, "How about the 8th? Friday is also an auspicious number. When will everyone go back?"

"Most people go back from the 9th to the 11th, but a small number may have to go two days earlier. After all, it may take two days to go home in some areas, and train tickets are not easy to grab."

"You go and make sure first. If it doesn't work, it's on the 6th. If the 6th doesn't work, let it go on the 3rd." Meng Qian signed the document where it needed to be signed, and then returned the document to Sun Xiaojing.

"Okay." Sun Xiaojing took the file.

"Dong dong dong." At this moment, there was another knock on the office door.

"Come in."

After the door opened, He Yating stepped forward with a panicked expression, "Mr. Meng, something happened to Dafeng Entertainment!"

Meng Qian couldn't help but thumped in his heart, "What's going on?"

"Kang Heng's mother came and beat him in public."

Fortunately, it was an employee's business. Meng Qian immediately felt relieved, and at the same time his brain turned quickly, and he got up and went out.

When I came to the floor of Dafeng Entertainment, as soon as I entered the door, I saw Fu Qinyi and Tao Tingting comforting a middle-aged woman. Kang Heng stood with his head down, his body trembling slightly, and there were several employees and two Security, but there are no more people watching, this detail makes Meng Qian quite satisfied.

Seeing Meng Qian coming, Fu Qinyi and Meng Qian looked at each other to indicate that the matter was not too serious, then Meng Qian put on a smile and walked towards Kang Heng's mother, "Hello, Auntie."

Kang Heng's mother, Jiang Linghua, looked at Meng Qian with unkind and uneasy eyes, "Who are you?"

Meng Qian smiled kindly, "My name is Meng Qian, and I'm the boss of this company."

"You are the boss!"

Seeing that Jiang Linghua was about to explode, Meng Qian took out an envelope ahead of her, "Auntie is here to help Kang Heng get his salary today, right?"

Jiang Linghua looked at the thick envelope in front of her and was a little confused, "What salary?"

"What? Auntie doesn't know?" Meng Qian pretended to be surprised and angry. "Kang Heng is under sixteen years old. In order to avoid trouble, I told him that his salary must be paid by his parents. He didn't tell you. explain?"

Jiang Linghua was even more confused, but said in a very unhappy tone, "I didn't even know he was with you!"

Meng Qian made an even angrier expression, first glanced at Kang Heng, showing a look of disappointment, and then turned to Jiang Linghua, "This child is actually hiding from both of us, auntie, so you are here, let's go Let's chat in the conference room."

Before Fu Qinyi could wait for Jiang Linghua to respond, she directly helped her to the small meeting room beside her.

As soon as he entered the meeting room, Meng Qian hurriedly sighed, full of disappointment, "Auntie, you really don't know about Kang Heng working here?"

"Of course I don't know!" Jiang Linghua said, patting her thigh.

"Hey." Meng Qian sat across from Jiang Linghua, "It seems that Kang Heng really lied. Auntie, let me tell you the situation briefly. Our company is in the game industry and has a game team. Kang Heng's game talent is very high. So we brought him in to the company.

But you also know that he didn't reach the age of sixteen and couldn't sign a formal contract, so we reached a verbal agreement and agreed that his salary would be collected by his parents.

So just now when my secretary told me that you were here, I thought you were here to help him collect his salary. "

"Is he really working here with you?" Jiang Linghua's tone became milder.

"Auntie, what you said is that I run a company. If he doesn't work here, how did he get in here?" Meng Qian responded casually, and then handed the envelope to Jiang Linghua, "Anyway, since Auntie Come, I will give you this money first, a total of 1600, you can count it."

"1600!" Jiang Linghua was shocked, her salary was not even 1600.

"This is two months' salary. Because Kang Heng still has to go to school, the situation is quite special. The salary may be a little lower than other people's. Moreover, he has not officially participated in the competition and has no results. He can only give some guaranteed salary first."

Jiang Linghua was stunned, "Can you really make money by playing games?"

"Three hundred and sixty lines are the number one. Why can't you make money by playing games?" Meng Qian smiled, "The coach said that Kang Heng is very talented and will have a great future in this industry in the future, but he kept it from his parents. This kid is not honest."

Seeing this, Jiang Linghua hurriedly said, "Mr. Meng, right?"

"Yes, yes, you can call me Xiaomeng."

"Mr. Meng." No matter how educated Jiang Linghua is, it is impossible to really call Xiaomeng, "Don't be angry about this, I will go back and ask his father if he knows, but I don't know much about games, this thing How to make money? Can you tell me about it?"

"Of course it's convenient." Seeing that Jiang Linghua was already tempted, Meng Qian spent more than ten minutes explaining to her the difference between game competition and games, and also told her how this thing makes money, and even told her that Kang Heng has hope in the future Represent the country.

Ten minutes later, Meng Qian and Jiang Linghua walked out of the small meeting room talking and laughing, and Jiang Linghua's attitude had changed.

And Kang Heng still stood motionless at the original place, with his head down, unable to see his expression clearly.

Meng Qian and Jiang Linghua were about to go up to him and say something to him, at this moment, a hot-tempered figure appeared at the entrance of Dafeng Entertainment, "Who the fuck hit my brother! Someone!"

Everyone was stunned, and saw that it was Wei Pengtian standing at the door. At this moment, Wei Pengtian was panting, his head was sweating, he was holding a cake in his left hand, and a gift in his right hand. An infiltrating murderous aura.

Seeing that no one spoke, Wei Pengtian's eyes fell on Kang Heng's aggrieved back, and he shouted again, "Which grandson touched my brother! Stand up for me! I will not kill you today!"
